A FINE COUNTRY, BUT A BAD SYSTEM.
The United States, with its great
variety Of climate, produces or can
produce every article needed by hu-
mainly, All this vast region, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
latitude 10 to the Gulf is closely con-
nected by rivers, railroads and tcle-
graphs. We have hundreds of mil
lions of acres Of unoccupied land,
vast forests of timber and unlimited
supplies Of coal, iron and all the use
full minerals. Our agricultural ma
chinery enables our sparsely settled
farming country to produce enough
to feed the world, There is not an
article that we need that cannot al
most at days notice be produced
far beyond the power of the people
to consume. And yet with this pro
ductlon we have millions of people
in abject want. Our granaries burst,
ing with grain and famine looking
into the doors Of the poor. A vast
empire of unoocupled land and mil
lions without homes, We have mil
lions Of everything that q human be-
ing needs and millions of people who
need everything, and yet have abso-
lutely nothing, Who is so blind as
not to know that there is something
wrong? And no particular indivld-
ual is to blame. The wrong must
be in the system under which we
live. Paul, Ind. Times.

Under the head of "Philadelphia" an
error occurred in last weeks issue which
made our comrades of the Flemish Sec

whereas the sentence should have read:
"A set of resolutions condemning the
competitive system and upholding the
principles of social democracy was

Helen Barry.

The distinguished English actress,
Miss Helen Barry, under the manage
ment of MI. ]. M. Hill. will commence
an engagement of one week at the
Grand opera house tomorrow night.
This will be the most delightful society
event OF the season. as Miss Barry has
been spoken of very highly by the en-
tire Eastern press and public. The sale
of seats has been quite large.
The London Times speaks of Miss
Barry as follows: ''Miss Helen Barry,
who is giving series of performances
at the Vaudeville, previous to her de-
parture for America, revived on Thurs
day a "A Woman's Stratagem,' the Eng
glish version of Scribe and Legouve's
fine comedy, 'Battalle DIES Danes In
this piece Miss Barry plays the part of
the Countess d'Autreval. The character
is eminently suited to the unique pow
erS of the actress, who, in her loyal
warfare with her rival, proves herself
an adept in the welding of WOman's
natural weapOnS-beauty and charm.
The whole performance is pleasing in a
high degree. The varied experience
gained by Miss Barry during her long
career upon the London stage has
ripened her style and lifted her into the
front rank of comedy actresses. Many
who saw Thursdays performance will
regret that it can not be long continued,
owing to her American contract, but
Miss Barry has another revival of in
terest to make soon, that of Ark

Sixty-third streets, midway between

hole, where bottom has nearly been
reached, half dozen men were clearing
the wreck of previous blasts away.when
the explosion occurred. 1t sometimes

Off by an electric spark that one of the
cartridges misses fire. Probably
this had been the case in this
instance, but the miss had been over
looked, and danger was not apprehen-
ded by the workmen, who. with picks
and Sledge hammers, started in to
smash the cracked and broken ledge. A
blow from one of the hammers set off
the hidden cartridges, and, with ire
mendous crash, an avalanche of dirt and
broken rock was thrown up and buried
the men. They were dragged out more
or less hurt. They were five in number.
A sixth had escaped unhurt. None of
them are seriously Injured. Foreman
jeremiah Harrington was arrested on
charge of careless blasting.

Southern and Central Pacific railroads,

spoke in favor of the bill recently intro
duced by Senator Mitchell, which pro-
vides for settlement of the debts of all
the Pacific roads, instead of the Union
Pacific and Central branch alone. Mr..
Huntington said he believed that bill
would be acceptable to himself and his
associates, and that after the ascertain
ment of the debt was made, its proyis-
ions could be successfully carried out. 1t
is not probable, however, in the opinion
of members of the company. that any
thing will be accomplished at this ses-

cite. in the harbOr, was very salts
factory. Three tests at 1000, 500 and
100 yards were to have been made,
but the programme IN this respect was
not carried out. Only two shots were
fired. one 2OO-pound shell and the
other of 500 pounds, charged with No.
dynamite, and each was discharged at a
point the size of vessels deck,
marked by buoys, at distance
of one mile. The absence of an object
made it impossible to demonstrate
thoroughly the destructive power of the
shots, but it was said that either of the
bombs hurled to-day would have de-
strOyed any man-of-war afioat Capt.
Zaliuski fired the first 200 pound shell
with remarkable precision, but the
second was not so accurately
gnaged. The gun was of a Is
inch caliber, and each shot sent up
ward a body Of water to heighth of
about 800 feet. Among those who wit
messed the experiment were Com
