Judge the Future.

The eloquent Patrick Henry said:
ave can only judge the future by
the past" Look at the past
When Egypt went down three per
cent of her population owned ninety
seven per cent. of her wealth. The
people were starving to death.
When Babylon went down two per
cent. of the population owned all the
wealth. The people were starved to
death.
When Persia went down one pei
cent. of the population owned the
land.
When Rome went down 1900 men
owned all the known world.
For the last twenty years the United
States has rapidly followed in the
steps of these old nations. Here are
the figures:
In 1850 capitalists owned 37t pc
cent. of the nations wealth.
In 1870 they owned SO per cent
What will it be in 1890? Should i
have increased in the last twenty
years proportionately it will reach

crop of last year is not yet entirely
out of the hands of the planters, but
those whose business attention is alb

900 bales, an increase of 100000
over the year preceding. This season,

There is hay famine in the Ceur

There is a hay famine in the Ceur
d'Alene and the price of cut grass
has gone up like a rocket. Thirty
seven dollars per ton was offered at
the Junction for a small lot and
respectfully declined. Wallace has
none and there is only ten bales left
in Murray. The crop will be very
small at Horse Plains, Mont, and
elsewhere across the Bitter root, and
none of it can be purchased at Thomp-
sou. Here is chance for the Big
Bend and Palouse farmers to coin
money. Hay will be more profitable
than grain.-Ex.

For three weeks the Kansas City
police have attempted to close the
saloons on Sunday, but without avail
until July q. Arrests were first made
under a city ordinance which provid-
ed that no saloons should be kept
open within the municipal limits
Convictions could not be had under
that ordinance. the Police Judge
holding that saloon-keepers who adj
mitted their customers through the
side-aiIey doors were not keeping an
open saloon. Then the Police Com
missioners ordered that arrests be
made under the State or downing
law, which makes it felony to sell
Intoxicating liquors on Sunday, and
renders it obligatory upon the part
of the trial Judge to revoke the
license in every conviction. Forty
arrests were made under the latter
law. Appeals were taken by all the
prisoners from Justices to the Cir
cult Court, and the TRIALS have not ye'
occurred. On the 21st the Chief Of
Police placed in the hands of forty
five police officers blank State war
rants tor the arrest of saloon-keeper'
who violated the Downing law. Th'
officers were in citizens clothing, ant
they kept strict watch upon thei
respective beats for chances to serv'
the warrants. Only three of then
found the chance. Besides thos'
three there were only five other al
rests in the whole city, and but TIVE

OCTOBER.
BY ROBERT j. BURBETTE.

By winding paths through woods of golden
brown.
Midst rustling leaves by lettering winds
caressed
Ger sun-kissed fields, where, Oh the lance
weeds crest,
Fiuttered the snowy plumes Of thistle down;
In glades brook hauntes1, where its purple
crown
The iron weed uplifted where at rest
The mirfored clouds slept Oh the lakes
calm breast.
Meath skies of softer azure, where no
OF long past summer storms left shade or
trace;
On the dead ash, by lightning seathed. g.
brand
OF living flame, the woodbines interlaced !;
While, vaiiing lightly all tn enchanted
land.
October weaves her spell Of dreamy grace
In happy ways we wandered, hand in
hand.
The woods are leafless spectral field and
world
A ghostly mist enwraps in drifting shroud.
And jOyless raindrops from the weeping
cloud
Drip on the quiet leaves, 50 still and cold
Dead OH the dead years grave like mourn
ers old,
The wandering winds go signing through
the bowed
And voiceless cedars. Dull and phantom
proved
The hill looms through the shadows that
enfOld
Calm lake and fretting brook And far
away
A mourning wood dove sobs in plantive
That smite5 the silence tenderly. The gray
Swoons slowly into shadow; sinking
prone
Into the darkness dies the fading day,
While one in weary waiting walks alone

Dr.. Talmage on Respectable" Dead
Beats.

Brother Talmage, the famous Brook
| Ign preacher, has been speaking his
! mind On the subject Of what he terms
" respectable" dead beats-persons
who contract debts which they never
expect or intend to pay. He says:
The trouble IS, my friends, the peo-
pie do not understand the ethics of
going III debt, and that if you pur-
chase goods with no expectation of
paying for them, or go into debts
which you cannot meet, you steal so
much money. If / go into grocer's
store, and / buy sugars and cohees
and meats, with no capacity to pay for
them and no intention of paying for
them, am more dishonest than if
60 into the store, and when the gro
GERS face is turned the other way
fill my pockets with the articles Of
merchandise or carry off a ham. In
other words, sneak thief is not so
bad as man who contracts debts he
never expects to pay.
In all our cities there are families
that move every May day to get into
proximity to other grocers and apoth-
ecarles. They owe everybody within
a half mile of where they now live,
and next May they will move into
distant part of the city, finding a new
lot Of victims. Meanwhile you, the
honest family in the new house, are
bothered day by day by the knocking
at tire door of disappointed bakers,
and butchers, and dry goods dealers,
and newspaper carriers, and you are
asked where your predecessor is. You
do dot know. 1t was arranged that
you should not know. Meanwhile
your predecessor has gone to some dis
tant part of the city, and the people
who have anything to sell have sent
their wagons and stopped there to
solicit the "valuable' custom of the
new neighbor, and he, the new neigh.
Dor, with great complacency, and with
an air of affluence, orders the finest
steaks and the highest priced sugars
and the best of the canned fruits, and
perhaps, all the newspapers. And the
debts will keep on accommodating until
he gets his goods on the goth of next
May on the furniture cart.
No wonder that SO many of our
fail in business. They are
swlndled into bankruptcy by these
wandering nomads of city life They
cheat the grocer of the green apples
which make them sick, the physician
who attends their distress, and the I'M
dertaker who fits them out for de-
parture from the neighborhood where
they owe everybody when they pay
the debt of nature, the only debt they
ever do ,1oyl

A CONSTITUTIONAL TARIFF.

The New York W0rlH of the 12th
publishes in full the article from the
Hon. Jefferson Davis on the subject OF
GA Constitutional Tariff" as it orig
inally appeared in the November
number of BeJorH"s Magazine, and
comments on it as follows:
Born during the Administration of
President Jefferson, from whom his
name, a politician in the highest sense
of the word from his youth, Mr.. Davis
brings to the consideration of the sub
Ject a wealth of historical and person.
al knowledge which few, if any, now
living possess, and a mental vigor I'M
diminished by his more than four
score years. What he says will not be
read for the sake of the writer-who
as the only strong link remaining be-
tween the present generation and that
which established the Federal Govern
ment might well receive patient atten-
ton for his own sake-so much as for
the force, the clearness and the effect
of his contribution to the great Dues
ton Of the day.
Mr.. Davis takes the ground that in
the Federal Government of strictly
enumerated powers there is none under
those granted to promote the general
welfare which permits taxation except
for the purposes of raising revenue to
pay It's expenses, and he calls atten-
ton to the fact that the power to
establish rewards and immunties for
the promotion of agriculture and man
ufactures was stricken out of the Con-
stltution, and the announcement of
agriculture and manufactures left to
the States respectively. Where, then,
IS derived the power to protect forty
nine rehnerles in charging their coun-
trymen three and one half cents Der
pound more for sugar than the market
value at which they sell it to foreign
ers, no taxes being collected?
The historical side of the subject
which no one else could present 50
well-will be new and news to the
present generation. No one who wishes
to talk with knowledge on this ques-
ton OF the day can afford to leave it
unread, and the surrender made of our
space is not to be regretted.
In another place in its editorial col
umns, the WorM thus refers to the
same article: AZ.
Jefferson Davis makes many good
points in his article on GA Constitu-
tlonal Tariff printed elsewhere, but
none better than that, while the power
"to declare war" is one of those given |
to Congress, no one would assert that
1t had the right to declare war in order
to build up the manufactures of the
inland States, which would be bene
htted by it. If it has the right to
build them up under the power "to
levy and collect taxes, why not under
the power '' to declare warp
The article in question is an able
presentment of the one absorbing issue
In American politics. Let every Dem
ocratlc voter read it carefully. and
then pass 1t over to his Republican
neighbor.
