The Advance of Plutocracy.
he New York World.

FL ON the New Ork W Oflu.
The echoes of Bishop Potter's address
are still reverberAting throughout the
country. Some Of his critics, by an
swering what he did not say and af-
firming what he did not deny, seek TO
divert public attention from the main
ideas of an address which is destined
to become historic.
Bishop Potter's warning was against
the steady rise of the money power in
to plutocracy. His lament was over
the decline of the government into "a
huge machine, ,"existing mainly for the
purpose of rewarding partisan service
and promoting private int rests.
A few facts will show the danger and
prove the degeneracy.

What have we seen in every PresI-
Dental election in this country since
1876? The talk of the campaign head
quarters OF both parties is always mon

MONEY, and need it at once" wrote
President Foster, of the Tariff League,
to the rich manufacturers of Pennsyi-
vania "who make large fortunes every

Chairman Quay to John Wanamaker,
who forthwith proceeded to raise and
turn over 100000, the exact use of

Prohibition IN Kansas.

Alexander Klein in Hartford Post
Usually about the times of presiden-
tial election we hear the cry raised
against the liquor traffic, and then
prGhibitionist p9rty comes in the field.
These minor affairs have no especial
effect on the general results OF votes
cast, causing only Slight deviation
one way or the other. Both Connect
cut aud Pennsylvania will have pro-
hihitinn an issue at their State elections
during this year, and while it may BE-
com mt ndable enough to prevent the
excessive use of liquors fear the re-
suit, if prohibition should be carried,
would not have the desired effect. j
have noticed, and can not explain
why, that more liquors are consumed
in q State like Kansas than if the law
allowed whisky and beer to be openly
sold. During my stjourn in different
parts Of the State | saw such to he the
ease; and to a certain extent this arises
from the construction of human nature.
People usually value thing according
to the difficulty of its attainment, aud
where they crave liquor and the law
interdicts the sale of it they will strain
all the harder to get it.
Years ago, during the Revolution,
whisky was taxed for a twoiold reason:
the Government needed money and
therefore the great institution of in
ternal revenue was established, and
secondly this brain stealing stuff could
be bou yht so precariously low that the
effect would be something dreadful to
posterity. The people rebeiled, claim
ing they would not pay the extortinate
demands of the Federal Government,
and the mobs became SO unmanage-
able by the local authorities that the
national troops had to be called to the
scene. This was in Western Pensyl-
vania ana accordingly we have in
history the whisky Rebellion"
The barroom-k eepers of this country
try 10 run affairs too much to suit them
selves anyway. in many Of the large
cities you will see intoxicated men on
the street on election days and people
go about wondering how they got
their liquor. People who do this won
dsring do not seem to be aware of the
fact that there is IA back-door arrange
ment to all well-reguiated saloons, and
to this door the Mayors proclamation,
forbiding the saleof liquor on that day,
does not seem to apply Such procla-
nations are issued only a. matter of

The New York politicians, says the
New York World, now assert that the
Naval Officer and Surveyor In the
New York Custom House will be al
lowed to serve out their official terms.
The politicians are not pleased with the
prospect and do not hesitate to say
that President Harrison makes them
tired. "What did Cleveland do?, has
come to Le byword. One of the
high priests of Republican politics In
New York State explained to World
correspondent to-day the current use
of the phrase. 1t appears that for
some time past when politicians has
called at the White House to have
Democrat official removed and Re-
publican appointed in his place the
the question the President has almost
Invariably asked was, "Wbat did
Cleveland do?" and il Cleveland did
not make a removal from the Office in
question President Harrison holds that
he cannot, with any propriety, be less
forbearng. Hence grumbling politi-
clans are going about from one to an
other in the hotel lobbies and else
where asking on the sly. "What did
Cleveland do?'

Relics i'm jefferson County.

Right here in Jefferson county, Mis-
souri,, was the home of prehistoric ami
mails Of stupendous proportions. Near
the little hamlet of Kimmswick the re-
mains of the Ma stodons have been
found. whose length must have heen
so or 60 feet at least. The teeth found
were some five or six inches in diane
ter and the limbs that supported its
body must in magnitude, have been
like forest trees, eight or nine feet in
circumference. In the solid rock upon
the banks of the Mississippi river in
this county are human footprints
made perhaps, a thousand years ago,
when that solid and almost imperish-
able rock was but soft clay. These foot
prints are not foot prints of "a vivid i'm
agination's creation, but are real and
perfect prints of bare, human feet
impressions that admit of no doubt
whatever as to the object hy which
they were made. Here is field for
the archael"gist as yet unexplored.
Here in the Mississippi valley perhaps
lies hidden beneath its aIluvial soil a
record of ancient history that if un-
covered might throw new light upon
and create new interest in the pre-
historic world. 'Tis certainly a splen-
did field for the investigations of the
Archaeo1ogist.- De Soto NeaUS.

form, and I have seen in large cities
the first patrons of the saloons are the
policemen and city officials. A glass
of lager beer or gulp of VIII isky often
has the effect of casting vote, and |
remarked to you last Monday that
many aspiring politicians resorted to
all kinds of schemes, and their actions
were not always coherent with t,o nor.
A man who run for certain kind of
city office gave employment to as
many people as possible, few days
| before the election. He hired a vast
| array of carts and put drivers on them
and had dirt hauled to and fro. Now,
| by such tactics, and drink here aid
| there, a certain class of men cast their
votes to suit their suppos Ell benefactor.
Or course, votes gained by such arti.
| fees as above cited are vastly in the
minority, and men who will sell their
vote for drink will not vote for the sup
preston of the beer saloon and whisky
dens. A country that is made up of
number OF small towns has more of
chance to carry prohibition than a
State that has "A number of big cities.
People of medium and small towns
are contented with amusements that
would not suit the inhabitants of the
larger places, and in the cities it seems
Citll tc douS uiliSsS tFluhS are
passed around hy the waiter.
One great obstacle in the way of car
rying prohibition is our social forms.
Men can't be social unless they ask
each other to step to a neighbcring
saloon TO take drink, and the mere
there happens to be in the crowd the
greater is the number of drinks. 1t
has b come custom to inveriably re-
turn favor at the bar, and in that way
men get home later than they expected,
and the condition of their brains the
next day is such as to incapacitate
them for their various callings.
In many of the largest cities the
saloon men have had common decency
enough to close up their establish
ments on Sunday, but in other places
the doors are thrown open wider than
ever in order to make room for the
great shirstv crowd. People ought to
stay at home and sample their cisterns
and they would be physically and
financially better Off
Men who haunt saloons are seldom
those who are successful in life, for no
man can do two things at once, and
when they pass their time at such
places they are never gamers in any |
way. Associations made In that way |
are never of desirable nature and |
men whose company is worth hav-
ing and those who haye been success
ful In life have seldom been Eabitudes
of saloons; .they usually keep away
from them, knowing they are the
eternal dane to prosperity and impedi-
ments TO success.
Higher offices throught the land
often cost the holders thereof much |
more to attain than it ever pays them,
and campaign mcney goes directly to
the saloons. l wish all the distilleries
and breweries in the land were dried |
up, but | fear my wish will not go
very far in the direction of establish
ing prohibition. Drug stores are good
places to get whisky when you have
the cramp, but the trouble is there are
too many of these whisky marts, and
they are pesigDated saloons.

The Sharon Case Settled.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the famous Sharon
divorce case has at last settled one of
the most disreputable legal contests
ever witnessed in America. Sarah
Althea Hill, San Francisco advent
uress, not content with her position as
mistress of the California millionaire,
determined to have herself acknowl-
edged as his wife, and as such applied
for divorce in the C urts of San Fran
cisco. She exhibited forged marriage
certificate and on account of the mon
ey involved in the case found no diff
Guilty i'm purchasing witnesses to con-
firm her version of the story. The
Senator defended the suit. The best
legal talent was engaged on both sides,
and the amount of prejury. as proved
by the voluminous testimony, has
probably never been surpasse IN any
contest.
Year after year the trial went on.
Sometimes one side got the advantage
and sometimes the other. Althea Hill
married her counsel the notorious
Judge Terry, who had thus personal
reason Tor trying to win the verdict.
Senator Sharon, broken down and
shamed by the revelations of the case,
died, leaving as his last command the
instruction to his lawyers to fight the
case if it cost his entire fortune.
His instructions were obpyeI to the
letter. The Supreme Court has decid-
ell that there was no marriage between
Sharon and the edventuress. that the
marriage certificate displayed in court
was forgery and the testimony of Hill
witnesses false altogether. Atlast the
ends of justice have been accomplish
ed. But the cost-Sharon is dead kill
ed by the anxiety of the trial; Althea
Hill is shown in her true colors as an
adventures ami periurer, ami fortunes
have been spent by both sides in the
contest.
The Sharon lawyers, however, do
not share in the general disappoint-
ment.-Phifadei iphia Times.

Bishop Potter's reference to what he
termed "Jacksonian vulgarity," re-
calls an anecdote concerning the Cen
erals Presidential experiences which
has lost little of is freshness by age.
One day, the story goes, he was seated
in the Executive Chamber of the
White House, discussing very dis
reputable corncob pipe. His faded
wrapper and slipshod slippers did not
enhance his appearance, and Mr..
Buchanan, who excelled in points of
delicay, ventured to give utterance to
his astonishment that the President
should have forgotten the audience
promised q number of ladiea, who had
expressed desire to meet him that
day. The appointment was only an
hour off, and Mr.. Buchanan's anxiety
lest the ladies should find the Presi-
cent in that condition, and in such an
atmosphere, was so great that he tram
scended the bounds of his customary
diplomacy in iDpressing upon Mr.
Jackson the Importance ofimmediateIy
pulling himself into presentable shape:
"James," said the President. as he laid
Ills pipe dsiue, aIiu S~N0e
the Secretary, II once knew man
who made mighty pot of money, and
succeeded in extracting from life about
all the delight there 10 in It. Can you
guess how he did it?" It happened to
be a bad LAY for conundrun,s with
Buchanan, end SO the President pro.
oeeded to enlihten him. James
said he, "that man accomplished all
that have said by mindiDg bis own
- business When. little later,
the ladies called, they found PRESIDENT
Iackson attired exquisitely, and after
delightful interview went away i'm
pressed with his polished and courtIy
hearing. 1t Is not unlikely that Bishop
Potfer's estimate Of President Jack
SONS personal habits was based upon
some incident which occurred while
Mr.. Buchanan was attending to his
So business. Star Sayings.
