It is high time that we all acknowledged not
only the Fatherhood Of God, but the brother
hood Of man.
Again, the street impresses me with the
fact that it is q very hard thing for man to
keep his heart right and to get to heaven. In
finite temptations spring upon us from these
places Of public concourse. Amid so much
aHuence how much temptation to covetous-
ness and to be discontonted with our humble
lot Amid 80 many opportunities for over
reaching, what temptation to extortlon.
Amid so much display. what temptation to
vanity. Amid so many saloons OF strong
drink, what allurement to dis
sipation. In the maelstroms Of the street,
how many make quick and eternal ship
wreck. If q man-of-war comes back from
BATTLE and is towed into the navy yard, we
20 down to look at the splintered spars and
count the bullet holes, and look with patri-
otic admiration on the flag that foated in
victory from the masthead. But that
man is more of a curiosity who, has
gone through thirty years of the sharp
shooting of business life, and yet sails
on, victor over the temptations OF the street.
Oh! how many have gone down under
the pressure, leaving not so much as
the patch Of canvas to tell where they
Their dishonesties kept tolling in their
cars If had all ak, and could split open
tho beams of that fine house, perhaps I
would find in the very heart of it skeleton.
In his very best wine there is smack Of the
poor mans sweat. Oh! is it strange that
when man has devoured widows houses, he
is disturbed with indigestiona An the forces
Of nature are against him. The floods are
ready to drown him, and the earthquake to
swallow him, and the fires to consume him,
and the ightnings to smite him. But
the children Of God are on every
street, and in the day when the
crowns Of heaven are distributed,
some Of the brightest will be given to those
men who were faithful to God and faithful
TO the souls of others amid the marts Of busi-
ness proving themselves the heroes Of the
street. Mighty were their temptations.
mighty was thsir dalivsrance, and mighty
shsll be their triumph.

means of purchasing all articles of
use or enjoyment, and thus repre-
sent only these latter. But the
swords do not yet appear IN the
form Of prolific capital in its own
free and Independent productive
ness, in its power, that is, Of plllng
up interest for it's possessor.
No doubt the first step is already
taken in this manufacture with d.
rect reference to the value in ex-
change of what is produced. But
this first step itself finds stumb-
ling block in the way Of It's further
progress in the shape of the entire
social and economical environment
of the ancient world. The wealth
and gold of antiquity formed the
capitalist embryo out Of which capt.
tai itself was later developed. But
the development Of that wealth into
the specific and individual form of
capital had not as yet by any means
taken place.
Glance at another period of cul-
ture. Contemplate the owner of
the soil in the Middle Ages, the
noble seigneur with his castles and
halls, serfs and subjects, villages and
towns. Was this man q capitalist?
Do not entertain the common,
crude notion that in those days peo-
pie lived on the produce Of the fields
alone. Production was then well
developed, comfort was great, the
means OF enjoyment were numer-
Gus, varied and refined. Ulrlch Of
Lchtenstein in the 18th century de-
scribing a reception by his wife,
says she was clothed in garment of
silk and gold trimmed with ermine ;
eight women waited on her, all well
clothed her bedroom had hun
dred lights, the mattress was covered
with velvet and the sheets were of
silk. Ulrich, in describing a lady
wardrobe, counts up twelve dresses,
ten caps adorned with pearls, three
NANTES of white velvet, and a sad
die white with silver. The lady had
twelve pages all clothed in white,
and her horses were covered with
cloths of velvet. Was, however, the
owner of all these fine things-was
the lord of the Middle Ages capt.
alist? BY no means, and | will
prove this as clearly of the Middle
Ages as | did of ancient times.

clares against it; this public opinion
being in turn only the consequence
of the long continued, and. to all

easily see why usury or interest on
capital made way with such extreme
difficulty against the public opinion
of the ancients. You can easily
comprehend why it was considered,
in the ancient sense, to lend at in

If Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, the

interest on capital shameful, and

of interest was legally forbidden; If
Cato lauds that decision of his an

was fined twice the amount stolen,
but the man who took interest four
times the amount; if the Catholic

GOv.iHOVEY,S SUCCESSOR

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 3O.-The special
election held in this district today to elect
congressman to fill out the unexpired
term of Gov. A. p. Hoyey, resigned, passed
off quietly, light vote being polled
throughout the district Returns are
coming in slowly, but enough has been re-
ceived to insure the election of f. b.
Posey, Republican, over w. f.
Parrett, Democrat, by from five
hundred to seven hundred majority. TWEEN
ty-tive out of thirty-three precincts in this
county give Posey majority Of 345
Spencer county gives Posey l04 majority, a
gain Of SO over the Novembe election. In
dications are that Posey county gives
Posey from 100 to 80 majority, against PSI
for Parrett in November. The Republi-
cans were thoroughly organized, but the
Democrats were apathetic, as the term of
service will be less than thirty days.
Judge Parrett is the congressman elect
for the next two years, beginning next
March.

he had from being killed by the snakes

RAKED OVER THE GOALS.
The Interstate Commissioners Determined
to Make the Railroads Walk Straight.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30-While Interstate
Commerce Commissioners Cody and Nor
rison were here they made searching in
vestigation into alleged passenger irregu-
larities since their last visit. The inquiry
proved fruitful one. Every charge made
was fully proved, some of those inculpated
making a clean breast of every thing The
ticket deal with Broker Frank exposed
some rather unpleasant facts and placed
certain parties in an unenviable position.
Mr.. Griffin, till recently local passenger
agent of the Wabash, showed that he acted
throughout under instructions from his
superior officer, and the commissioners
exculpated him from any blame in the
matter. Receiver McNulta was before the
commissioners and received quite severe
lecture for permitting subordinates to en-
gage in unlawful and Legitimate prac-
tees. They felt confident that McNulta
was not personally responsible, but thought
he should have exercised greater vigilance
in management of affairs OF the passenger
department. Receiver McNulta expressed
regret for what had happened and assured
the commissioners that he had taken all
possible precautions to prevent any irregu-
larities in the future, and that any official
of the road hereafter detected in doing
wrong would be promptly discharged.
General Passenger Agent Snow was be-
fore the commissioners. The commission
ers thought that there was no excuse for
such practices as he was charged with,
that simply to meet the competition of
others did not eXonerate him. Because
others violated the law it was no reason
for him to do likewise. He was given
warning not to be caught in such practices
again.
General Manager Jeffrey of the Illinois
Central was brought before the commits
sioners and gave valuable evidence.
Officials of the Burlington & Northern
also received an overhauling for being en-
gagged in practices that We're contrary to
law. The commissioners have not
yet decided what action they will
take regarding the developments
in this fresh investigation. They
intimate, however, some steps will he
taken that will make similar unlawful
practices odious in the future.
They Will be back again next Monday.
when they may give the matter further
consideration. All officials that had been
before them during the two days declared
all further dealings with scalpers had
been stopped and that business hereafter
would be transacted in strict conformity
with the law. They will try to satisfy
themselves next Monday whether such is
a fact or not.

ClAYTON'S REMAINS.

LITTLE ROCK, Jan 3O.-The remains of
John NJ. Clayton were brought to this
city tonight and were met at the depot by
knight Templer commandery and vast
concourse of people and escorted to the
commandery asylum where they lie in
state till tomorrow to be taken to Pine
Bluff for interment The fatal wound is a
very ugley one. A charge of fifteen buck
shot entered the right side of the
head, tearing a hole in which a man
could run his fist. Seven balls
passed clear through, making a hole on
the left side an inch and half in dame
ter The neck was broken and all the ar
teries from the brain to heart severed and
death was instantaneous. A pistol found
just outside Mrs. Craven's yard is the only
clue to the perpetrators. 1t is Smith g.
Wesson, A calibre, blue barreled, latest
improved, bran new, loaded full and never
been fired. The men came back "a st night
at 2 O'Clock, prowled around the
house trying to find it, but the
uen inside were unarmed and were afraid
to venture out, knowing it meant certain
death. The assassins wore heavy arctic
overshoes, which they pull off as soon as
they got outside of the yard. The people
of Plummervillea horror stricken and
mystified and feel outraged, too, on ac-
count of the cowardly assassination and
openly declare they will hang the assassins
If caught.
