Grease q Fat Hog.

EDITORS INTELLIeENcER 1t is seeming
ly strange, but only too true, of the old
adage that 1.-THE fat hog gets the greasy
slop.n When the cotton mill subscription
list was started, men of the smallest means
were the most liberal subscribers. Like
the widows mite, they Clipped in their
last cent, not as an investment, but as an
enterprise, as all enterprising citizens
should do. and where they hoped to be re-
munerated was in the increase of their
business accruing from the extra amount
Of cash that must necessarily be put in cir
culation from the wages of the laborers,
&C., that it would take Co erect and operate
the factory. But monopoly, fayoritism, or
a little speculative scheme stalks into the
arena-the big fish gets the bait, and the
little one gets the e. b. Every one can full
ly understand how the contractors can
stand in with certain parties who have the
means to assist them, and how wheel can
turn in wheel, but it seems that in justice
to every one, let them be great or small, ,
the committee who let the contract to build
the factory should, with equal diligence,
see that the money paid to laborers, &C.,
should have been paid to them in cash, so
they could spend it when and where they
pleased, as they were to let it to the lowest
responsible bidder. This is our factory,
and not mine; this is an enterprise, and
not speculative machine to fill the cof-
fers OF the favored few, when it is huilt by
the many. The writer of this is small
subscriber to every enterprise that he has
had an opportunity to subscribe to, but if
the money that goes to erect them and ope-
rate them raust be so managed as to give
to one OF two establishments the sole con-
troll of the trade, wages, &C., for one have
subscribed my last cent, and heartily en-
treat all small fry to keep their hard earn.
ed little money in their own pockets, which
they must necessarily do to cope with mo-
nopolies and cliques. It is poor encour-
agement to strangers to come and invest
their money when by a preconcerted ar
rangement the trade, wages and supplies,
cuts him out of trading with any Of the
operatives, for the reason that the poor
devil is paid in scrip, and it is, negotiable
only at one particular place. 1t may be
fair, hut is hard, nevertheless on the man
of limited means. or who are not favorites,
and only shows the programme of the fu-
ture management of factory bosses, &c.

The Graded School.

EDITORS INTELL1GENcER Itwas in search
of truth that "B" asked space in your col
umns. It has brought out the following
summary;
1st. That in the beginning only small
two mill tax was wanted, and in the next
it had grown to five mills, and bonded
city debt besides. Query: How much more
will it grow
End. That high taxes are not SO hurtful,
after all. Query Then why not put it
higher at first?
3rd. That it will be harmless only ab.
gorbing our present effective schools, and
hurting the Military School possibly a
little.
4th. That our present system, after two
centuries trial, has i'll large degree made
our country great, our glory and strength,
our virtue, our intelligence. Exactly so.
We have met at this point, and all this has
been accomplished with reasonable tax,
without any Graded School, without o
Superintendent, and in perfect security
when we lie down at night B.

to Paris and the Exposition. A fortnight

A NOVELTY.

NOVELTY.
The uses of electricity in these days are
many and ingenious. A notable use of 1t is
that of furnishing the power needed to run
propeller steamers" on the Thames river.
In the summer months of the year these wa
ters abound in rowboats and steam launches
of every description. The steam launch is a
useful craft, but its navigation is attended
with discomfort, as it is hot work for the
fireman and engineer, while the smoke from
the funnel may at times be decidedly disa-
greeable to the passengers. But by means of
electric storage batteries these distasteful
features are done away with. The use of the
storage batteries involves obtaining supply
of electricity whenever this may be needed,
and floating electric power stations have
been put up at various points on the river,
so that the electric launches can, by drawing
alongside one of these craft, take In supply
of electricity with not as much trouble as
would be needed in obtai ming supply of
coal.
What the electricians will do next remains
to be seen. They have already added much
to the convenience and comfort of the human
family, and they keep busy.
