gin 1860 the number of Individuals

a In 1860 the number of individuals in
the Un ted States whose wealth exceeds a
million dollars was less than q half dozen.
In 1890 the number will PROBABLY exceed 500.
The increase in population las not been in
proportion, but the increase il number of
those who live by daily toll hes more nearly
corresponded. In 1860 there was probably
not millionaire in the United States Senate
in 1890 they will control that branch of oul
national legislature. With the same ratio OF
increase of wealth on the one hand and mul.
tiplication of the numbers of poverty on the
other, it will not take 30 years more for every
department of the government to be under
the control of money. The policy of the
government in plans that make it easy for
capital to control everything is one that must
in the nature of things cause its final over
throw. 1t is not necessary sequence that
accumulation of capital in the hands of few
at the expense OF the many is the result of
the governmental interference, but in this
particular case it happens to be true.

- Eight text books have been published
by the State of California for use in her pub
lie schools, and it is designed in a few years
to supplant all the books published by private
concerns. The best talent among the local
educators is employed in writing these books
and there are no middle men. The State
grammar is sold for 80 cents, reduction of
25 cents on the grammars formerly in use.
The price of the general history is 80 cents,
instead of $l.25under the old system. The
other books are proportionately reduced. A
small per cent. of the money received for
these books is invested in asinking fund and
is estimated that in twelve years the publica-
tion department will have paid for its plant
and win then be self supporting. The books
thus far issued are highly spoken of by most
Of the teachers.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Half the children on my beat are afraid Of
me, {" remarked police officer to reporter"
''Why should they be?"
''They shouldn't be-that's the case exactly
but they are. 1t all arises from the foolish
practice some mothers have of saying to their
children. when they are unruly or get into mis-
chief, You'll have to look out or the policeman
will catch YOU Now, I'm fond Of children
/ have a family of my own and I'd rather the
little ones, no matter whom they belong to,
would like me than fear me. But it's almost
impossible for an officer in his uniform to get
on friendly terms with child, simply because
the youngsters are made to think that the
officers do nothing but arrest people and lock
them up. For my part object to having
children taught to look upon me as a monster.

A Milkman Comes to Grief.
. t>o uc~~rA


From the Chicago Herald
The average young milkman IL very "gallus."
He likes TO impress the servant girls with his
feats - an agile athlete and an expert reins-
man, and he embraces every offered opportun-
ity Of 20 doing, but once in while he comes
70 grief. He did over ON the North Side yes
terday morning. About am. his horse dashed
up in front Of q Clark street dwelling and was
brought back on his launches by sharp twist
Of the bit and q stentorian sswhoav from the
gay young driver. The latter grabbed his can
OF cream in one hand, his can Of milk in the
other, jumped lightly from the wagon and took
two steps at jump to the front door. The
steps were OF stone, and there was ice on them.
The gallus young milkman was not aware OF
this until his feet touched the top step. There
they struck sheet of ice and went up in the air.
He tobogganed down to the sidewalk on tho
back of his neck amid spectacular shower of
white cream and blue milk. The lady Of the
house stood in the front window and witnessed
the disaster. She was tempted to laugh at the
man. but she wisely refrained, knowing that il
she did so and he noticed it he would get even
by giving her short weight in the future. The
man gathered up his empty cans, walked slowly
and cautiously up the Slippery steps with an
other pair of them, filed his order, retraced
his steps to the wagon and drove off without
the fats and told him to sweep the spilled milk
from the steps before it froze there. He
whistled to his little sky terrier and went out.
In about an hour he returned and said: "De
foolish ILL dawg won lap up de milk, missy"
She knew that the negro was lazy, but she
hardly thought he would expect little by 4
terrier to clean his steps for him.

employed by the telephone company was
hanging on by pair of doubtful looking spikes
to somewhat decayed pole on which he was
at work. At the base of that same pole, his
arms wrapped around it. stood diminutive
specimen OF the shoeblack species, who gazed
terested in the proceeding. The man .aloft
was not any too sure of his position and didn't
want to fall on the boy, SO be shouted out:
Look out there, kid. II / fall you'll get
hurt"
disconnected by the possible contingency, re-
piled in q shrill treble:

Thought he Was q Thief.


Wall street men have, in newspaper parlance,
a nose for news. They recognize the value Of
intelligence affecting financial and railroad
affairs, and they want it quickly. This led to q
queer scene to which was, some days ago, a
witness. railroad company was to announce
its monthly earnings at a certain hour. Now,
these earnings would indicate whether the road
was doing well or otherwise. prominent
brokerage house was exceedingly interested in
getting the fact as soon possible. Not wish
ing to wait for the customary announcement
through the news agencies in the street, they
sent one of their own clerks to the railroad
company's Office. As soon as the coveted figures
were announced he was to fly back to his en-
ployers with the news. He carried out his in
structions got the start Of the other messen-
gers who were there on the same errand, and
raced up Wall street on the dead run. It was
about noon, the street was crowded, and the
only conclusion member of Superintendent
Murray's force who happened to be passing
could draw was that he was a bank thief trying
to escape. The officer accordingly started in
hot pursuit and chased the young man clear
into his employers Office. Satisfactory expla-
nations followed, but the expression ON that
officers face as he came out of the building
was something shall not soon forget.
