lions. They will force the people to con sider carefully the problem of the state ownership of the great public highways. If the farmers can stick together and stick to their text long enough to get this busi- ness thoroughly ventilated they will do a good service.
 II. They are loosening the bands of par tisanship and opening the way for a ra- tional cooperation of citizens for all de- sirable purposes. It is not improbable that it will lead to a reconstruction of par ties.
 III. They are helping to make an end of the sectionalism which has been @ large part of the capital of certain class of politicians. Scarcely a vestige,n they say, "of the old sectional prejudice of a few years ago is now visible within their ranks." The south and the west are com ing into fraternal relations. -'The dema- gogue politician who now attempts to ar ray sectional prejudice in order that he may keep farmers equally divided on im- portant questions" is adnonished that he is about to confront "a superior intelli- genee that will soon convince him that his occupation is gone." The farmers move ment is not, probably, the deluge, but it will prove to be something of @ shower in some quarters e oyclone-and it will clear the atmosphere.

DARKEST ENGLAND.

General Booths moving account of Darkest England" will have a powerful effect. and it is cheering to know that everybody hasn't waited to be moved by it. The committee of the London county council on the housing of the working classes has prepared its report and pre- sents some startling facts as to the sani- tary condition of large area of London inhabited by ''the working classes" as the report styles them. The total extent of what the committee terms "the unhealthy area" of London embraces a district of unhealthy portion are about twenty in number and are exceedingly narrow and filthy, the widest being only twenty-eight feet in width. The houses are small, old, and dilapidated, ill-lighted and poorly ventilated, and have an average population of 24 to room, while 107 rooms have five or more inhabitants each. The mortality under such unfavorable conditions must, of course, be great, the committee's esti- mate being that it is twice as great as that of such districts as Bethnal Green, and it is probable that the committees estimate is rather too low than too high. The com mittee estimates the expense of widening the streets and of erecting suitable houses, constructed on sanitary principles, al e371, ,OO0.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
 The financial situation is clearing up, at least 90 that it can be more plainly seen what the matter is. The exposure of the condition of the Barring Brothers throws light on the causes which have led the Enlish to sell their American railroad secu- rites. Their vast investments in the Ar genuine Republic have been made tempora- rily worthless by the disturbances in that country. They have grown moro and more burdensome, and in order to help carry the load what the English call American rails" have been sold. In fact, they didn't have much else that could be sold lately.
 The seriousness of tho situation is shown in the fact that the bank of England and other great financial powers consider it necessary to come to the rescue. The truth is that if Barring Brothers went down 80 many others would have to go that it is cheaper and better for all concerned to save them. The contribution of $50, 900 or $80, ,000, ,000 for that purpose is an impressive movement and doubtless will be effectual.
 What is to come ne1ti Nobody knows, but there is evidently gain in confidence. The New York banks have been made safe by the action of the Clearing House and good judges say that the worst is over in London. They are all right in Paris, with money to spare, and there are no signs of serious trouble in Berlin. There has al- ready been . tremendous liquidation in England and in this country, and things are safer to that extent. Everybody has been made cautious and their is not likely to soon be a dangerous return of boldness. If their is no more disaster in London this week will see a decided improvement in the situation. One thing is certain ,and that is that the long suffering and long sought 'public," which has not been very con- spicuous in Wall street for the last year or two, has again appeared there and is buying stocks freely and paying for them. This will furnish great clement oi | strength so far as Wall street is concerned
 How much general business will be affect
 ed by what has taken place remains to be seen. There will of course be some re-
 striction of trade, if nothing worse. Thi:
 is called an English panic and a rich man. panic. It is most earnestly to be hoped
 that it will not further develop.

REGENT PUBLICATIONS.

The viking Age, the early history, manners and customs of the ancestors of the English-speaking nations; Illustrated from the antiquities discovered in mounds, cairns and bogs, as well as from the an- cient Sagas and Eddas, by Paul B. Du Chaillu, author of Explorations in Equa- torial Africa" Land of the Midnight Sum-" etc., with 1866 illustrations and maps; in two volumes. New York; Charles Scribner's Sons, 8 vo., 591 and 562 pages. Price, S7.50.) The valuable works by the distinguished traveller and author. Du Chaillu, already known to the public, are sufficient evidence to the read ing world that these volumes will merit at tention. The publishers have given the interesting chapters of the writer an at tractive dress. And now that renewed in terest is taken in the discovery of America as claimed by Columbus, the claims of the Norsemen are also brought forth for con sideration. In these exceedingly fascina-
 ting volumes the author has asked ques- tions concerning the spread of English
 speaking people and the English language,
 concerning the superiority of their success in colonizng, the source of their energy,
 and the causes which have led the English
 people to be pre-eminently a sea-faring
 people, and has answered them by refer
 ence to the Morse Vikings, giving what he
 considers irrefragible proofs of his state
 ment, in his preface, that ''To the numer-
 ous warlike and ocean-loving tribes of the
 north, the ancestors of the English-speak-
 ing people, we must look for the transfor-
 nation that took place in Britain. In
 their descendants we recognize to this day
 manp of the very same traits of character
 which these old Northmen possessed" ]"
 Most of the materials used in these vol
 umes, in describing the cosmagony and
 mythology, the life, religion, laws and customs of the ancestors of the English speaking nations, Du Chaillu has ob- tained from records found in Iceland. During the last fifty years the history of the Northmen has been unearthed, as it were, like those of the Egyptians, Assyr- ians and Romans. The museums of many lands now contain treasures which illus trate the history of bygone centuries. For over eight years the author has been lovingly engaged upon this work, and has produced two volumes that will delight thousands of intelligent readers in many lands. Our large libraries will of course contain these books, which will be author | ity on many mooted points as to the early history of the northern nations of Flu rope, their voyages and conquests; and lovers of adventure and bravery will Sc. | cure them for their private study in many homes, while students everywhere will welcome the evidence which is here given that literature has had it's poet and histo- rian in all ages of the world.

What He Said.

Another instance of a subject of specu- lation proving, in fact, surprisingly differ ent from what enthusiastic fancy painted it is an amusing story of MT. Parnen told by the London Speaker. Mir. Parnell and colleague were sitting in a side gallery of the House of ConSpons-
 It was a serious moment, for the Irish had retired in high dudgeon from the house; the ministry were hard beset and required the Irish vote to prevent them from being defeated. Mir. Gladstone had heightened the situation by suggesting that if he were defeated he should have to consider his personal position. All eyes turned to the small group of Irish men who had such momentous issues al their mercy.
 At that moment Mir. Parnel, looking down on the surging, excited and deeply observant house underneath, uttered few words to his companion with a look of in scrutable mystery. No one can tell wha priceless guerdon would have been giveI to that friend who would reveal such | confidence and lay bare the great and SC cret thoughts that had found expression | in this supreme hour.
 What Mir. Parnell had said was: 's wonder why so many men in the House O | Commons are bald!"

From the Denver Repuoncanl
 The Rev. Myron Reed recited an anus ing incident of his military career at the Loyal Legion banquet the other night. His regiment got into Nashville one morning, and the following morning he was told to go and relieve the gaurd at the capitol. He took up his company, and was told the first business was to put the prisoners to work to clean out the place. He sent them to work with mops, pails and brooms. and just as they were fairly at work . person came up to him and wanted to know what he was doing making such a noise.
