THE MIDDLE CLASS.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe must have carefully
studied the letter from an unknown writer
published in London last year, in which it
was asserted with startling strength that the
greatest danger TO civilization to-day lay in
the direction of the so-called upper classes
of society. The indifference of the wealthy
to the condition of the middle and lower
classes, the worship of mammon, menaced
more strongly the security of society than
did the ilIiteracy of the lower classes and
the radical tendencies of the middle.
il
Mr.. Donnelly holds an opinion on the SUBJ
ject contrary to the popular belief of the
day. In his recent letter to the street car
strikers, he writes:
ST is g melancholy fact that our modern
civilization while it has greatly benefited the
Upper and middle classes, has only served to
make the condition of the laboring classes
more deplorable.
Certainly since the war scientific investiga-
ton has shown that under the conditions of
American life the middle classes have and
are suffering more than the elite above or
the laborer beneath. Situated between the
Seylla of extreme wealth aid the Charybdis
of unskiIled labor, the middle classes have
been subject TO the whims OF the one and the
discomfort OF the other. They have been
driven from their cortented condition of
1925 and 1910 either into the ranks of the
snobocracy or to the plane of the toiler.
Il
The middle class-the thrifty farmer, the
prosperous merchant, the skilled laborer--saw
the heyday of their prosperity before 1860.
They were the backbone of The nation then,
the soldiers of the nation afterwards, and the
proletariats of the nation since. Their fate
has been that of buffer between two collid-
ing cars. The census of 1870 first gave evil.
dence of this declines; the census of 1880
made il more distinct. The census of 1890
may be expected to still further sustain Mrs.
Howe's position. and TO undermine Mr.. Don

novelty in legislation. There have been
other attempts to prevent the papers
from getting the facts, but it is not re-
membered that in any state the law has
proposed to punish for reporting such
transactions. The public will naturally
feel curiosity to see how the papers
will meet this new departure Of the
law. Time will show. AT all events, it
will be terrible punishment for GRIM
inal to die without newspaper notoriety.

comes.
There was largely attended meeting
of commercial travellers at the chamber
OF commerce yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of perfecting a state organ
izatlon OF travelling grocery statesmen.
The meeting was addle Ssed by a. 3.
Grub, national secretary of the
Travelling Men and Jobbers' union,
who set forth the advantages to be
derived by both statesmen and their en-
ployers from organization. The gath
ering resulted in the formation of an as
ISOLATION to be known as the Minnesota
Division of the union, and the election
of the following officers for the ensuing
year: President, A. B. Corbett, of Min
neapolis; secretary and treasurer,
William Egan, of st. Paul; vice presi-
dents. j. b. Bechtole, of Duluth; Walter
Mealey and E.. B. Fagg, of Mime
apoiis; and Robert Fitzgerald and
William Egan, of st. Paul.
After considerable discussion st. Paul
was decided upon as headquarters of
the association, and it was arranged to
hold meetings at the Chamber of Com
merce on the last Saturday of every
month. A constitution and bylaws
were drawn up in accordance with the
provisions of the national organization,
which were signed by about eighty of
the one hundred statesmen present.
Regular dues were provided for, and
the principal clause was to pre-
vent cutting of prices on staple
articles, thus raising the profits of
commission statesmen, and cutting down
the jobbers' increase. AT 80 an adj
journment was taken until o'clock, in
order to secure an expression on the
subject from wholesale grocers of the
Twin Cities. in order to secure their CO.
operation in promoting the interests of
the organization. But few dealers at
tended the evening meeting, however,
and little practical business was accom-
plished. The few employers who were
present spoke generally in favor of the
plan of organization.

free from this category.

GROWING INDUSTRIES.

The GLOBES report of the operation
of the South st. Paul stock yards speaks
encouragingly for the success of the
new meat inspection law. That slaugh-
tering and meat packing are to become
important Industries in this locality is
now assured, and it is worth the atten-
ton of capitalists. There is an abun-
dance of room for more than one firm,
and will soon be plenty of busnass to
keep several such establishments as the

peration. The more the merrier.

CHEAP BEEF.

=. The consumer of beef is still in doubt as to
what the new meat inspection law is going
to cost him. Reference to our news col
umns this morning will show the situation at
this writing. The producer has made some
thing already; the stockbuyer and dressed
beef dealer have profited, but the patient and
suffering consumer confronts his fortnight's
experience with a question mark in his eye.
-
There are retail markets ifsSt. Paul which
have raised the price of beef and there are
others which have not. Stockmen saw that
with spring always comes an advance in
prices, owing to winter-fed stock being more
costly. This explanation is rational. If it is
true, then it should not be very long before
meat goes back to the old scale. There is an
abundant supply of good cattle and home
market relieved from foreign pressure.
~
Unfortunately for the popularity of the
law there appears to be reason for believing
that some butchers are using it as a preteXt
to advance prices. Their attention should be
called to the arguments of Senator Scheffer
and Representative Forbes for the passage of
the inspection bill. Nor should they forget
the thunderous declaration of Gordon E.
Cole:
81 tell you that if this bill becomes law,
the consumer will have better beef furnished
him ana at a fairer price"
Every butcher on the floor of the hall Of
representatives appIauded. There has moth
ing occurred in the two weeks since the bill
became law to cause sharp advance in
prices. The ''meat famine" has not come,
nor. on their own testimony, have the
dressed beef houses increased the cost to the
retailer.
~
1t is within the power of the retailers and
middlemen stock buyers to make the law
odious or popular. The consumer. at the
best, made a great concession to them in
supporting the measure. AS a majority of
the three classes affected by it, he has the
right to insist upon not only having good
beef but cheap beef

IT Is said that the use of tie teIe-
phone Is growing less rather than in
creasing in the East, owing to the high
rates. In New York and New England
some of the lines have been taken down.
The policy of the monopoly is always
to keep up the tariff or suspend. In
Roche ster the city had the poles and
wires removed in face of this menace.
Unless there is an extension of patents
there may be relief in 1891.

IT IS probable that the Democrats in
the next congress will adopt the plan
suggested by Mr.. OATES. one of their
ablest members, in the treatment of
contested cases. 1t is to appoint COM
mittee of Democrats to learn the facts
in each case, and where they do not
warrant the claim of the Democrat, to
so advise him and abandon his claim.
But in attempts to unseat for party
reasons only they will stand together
and defeat them. This they can do
successfully, as the Republicans will
have but three more than quorum at
the most, and possibly but one. The
house will be so nearly balanced that
regard for fairness and decency can be,
eXacted by the minority. 1t is not be-
lieved there will be any factious and
merely partisan spirit displayed.
THAT BELL that tinkles at the head
of the railway mail service has tolled
the doom Of Democrats in way that
must tinge with envy even the heart of
GARRISON. The field was smaller, but
the rule to hit Democratic head wher-
ever seen has apparently been in force.

being expedited in order to leave little
