ton OF the Union PacIfic's action in

Is the management of the Union Pacific
mas adopted this course as part of the
deep-laid scheme to wreck the road, or
SO depress the stock that the Vanderbilt
interests will be able to buy
1t IN at the lowest possible
hgures. 1t ia generally understood
that Vanderbilts have had their eye on
the Union Pacific for long time, and
have lately moved more or less directly
toward the acquisition of a controll-
ing interest in the property with
view OF completing their much cherished
plan of establishing au INDEPENDENT
route from ocean to ocean. This was IN
measure accomplished by the ten-year-
trafhc contr Ict between that road aud
Chicago and Northwestern, which is
practically controlled by Vanderbilt,
but that contract Is regarded as only d
step to the real object In view.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-There will be an

winter rates will be taken up. Chair
man Blanchard Is in the city to amend
and 1t is expected there will be general
advance, to take effect about the 10th of
November, when navigation will finally
close. The expectation of a rise Is shown
by the fact that Al, 900 tons of freight
went east from Chicago last week, aud
an additional 81 200 tons by rail. The
railroads alone could not possibly have
handled so much in a single week.

Wages in England and America.

According to recent investigation
made by DR.. Giffen for the British Board
of Trade the average weekly wages in
the cotton industry of England are about
SO for men and 1895 for women. The
coming census of the United States will
probably show that, in this industry at
least, the average wages paid in this
country are not now higher than in
Great Britain, and that, owing to the
higher cost of house rent and clothing.
and taking longer hours and greater pro-
duction into account, the rates are act
ually lower on this side of the Atlantic.
The tendency here is to a constant de-
crease, partly in consequence of the
growing competition of Southern mills
and partly because of the increasing
number of idle operatives.

Jules Simon, Tolain, Burdeau, Lender
and Delahaye have been appointed by
the French government as delegates to
the International Labor Conference to
be held in Berlin. Tolain was brass
worker and a member of the Interna-
tional Workingmen's Association. He
is now Senator. Delahaye is a machi-
mist, speaks English fuently and came
twice to this country; the first time in
1875 as French delegate to the Philadel-
phia Centennial, and the second time in
1887, to study textile machinery with a
view to the cooperative establishment
and naturalization of that industry in
France, where English competition has
destroyed it. Jules Simon is bourgeois
philosopher and statesman" of the
most pronounced type. Lender is the
General Inspector of Mines and may
also be counted on the capitalistic side.

severe on the conservatives. Well, in
tend to be severe, and by no means at
the expense Of truth.
From the most stupid to the most
cunning of them, from the poorest to
the weathiest, a sordid selfishness lies
at the root of their conservatism, and
none resists progress but is impelled by
personal considerations of the meanest
order.
Among the wealthy, the great, the
powerful, this is comprehensive. OF the
conservatives Of this class have nothing
to say. By craft and by force they def
end their wealth, their greatness, their
power. But among the poor, the lowly,
the helpless, such opposition to social
changes which cannot by any possibility
make them more miserable, is inconceiv-
able. And in reality if we look below the
surface, if in some way we can strike
the responsive chord in the hearts of the
masses, we soon find that there is no
conservatism there. But there is apathy,
born of ignorance and helplessness And
it is this apathy that the designing lead
ers of those masses mistake for con-
servatism. And it is those designing
leaders--who themselves care not jot
| for either conservatism or progress
that | brand az conservatives, with all
the odium of hypocrisy that the term
implies, according to my definition of it.
| | trust you will now perceive what |
really mean. say, most emphatically
that there is no conservatism in the large
| body of Labor: but | do not say that
there is progress. There is ignorance,
helplessness, apathy and no movement
| vet there is natural readiness to move
| a dormant power of motion which car
at any time be developed into tremend
GUS, Irresistible force, and will be so de-
veloped as soon as the consciousness Of
that power shall have been infused into
the mass. For its present torpor, those
who call themselves its conservative
leaders-and those alone-are respons
ible..
In those men the Labor Movement
has for years been personiiied. While
some of them know that there can be NJ
such movement but in the direction o
socialism, they denounce on every occa
sion its teachers and its principles, ant
they prolong the apathy of the mass b.
Withholding from it the truth which
once seen, would put an end to it
wretchedness and slavery.

MANHATTAN LIBERAL CLUB
DIR. Eccles on The Limits and Relatively
of Knowledge.

of Knowledge.
At the last weekly meeting of the
Manhattan Liberal Club, DIR. r. G.
Eccles, a well-known author and scien.
fist, delivered lecture on "the Limits
of knowledge" This lecture was sub
stantlally condensation of larger
work, already in print, the title of which
is, "The Relatively of knowledge. He
reviewed some of the childish notions of
the past and the present, born of human
ignorance and conceit. "a worm," he
said, claiming to know the universe as
it is, becomes an edifying spectacle. A
blind fish in the Mammoth Cave would
know the folly of the worm, although
repeating the same Stiffness for itself
Man can see that neither the worm nor
the fish can compass anything like a
correct conception of things as they are.
The creature last produced, no doubt
always in the pride of its heart thinks
its own knowledge final, and is willing
to stake anything on it. A being as far
beyond us as we are beyond a worm
would wonder at our presumption, if
made aware of it, Then beings millions
ON millions of times beyond him, along
the possible infinite scale of impossible
conception, would see that even his
knowledge was as nothing to the
| whole"
From the relatively of motion through
| out the universe-which is the only
evidence of motion that we have-he
concluded that, ''for aught we know to
the contrary, every motion ever made,
considered absolutely, may be mere
| illusion of sense, due to position"
Passing to physiology, Dr. Eccles
gave many illustrations of deceptive
sensation. Whatever stimulates the
nerve-centre which apprehends motion
makes motion visible to our senses. An
undigested supper will make us see
| bodies in motion, or believe we move
ourselves, as in dreams. As the fingers
tickle the ribs, so drugs and poisons
tickle the brain into seing moving
| bodies. If alcohol in excess can tickle
our nerve-centers into seeing moving
snakes, how do we know that the real
snakes are not as unlike those sensations
which they produce, as the alcohol is ?
Do whiskey molecules shape themselves
into wriggling snakes when they enter
the brain? Surely no one will hold to
a notion SO crude. Yet it is not one
whit cruder than the current notions of
men who believe that the Absolute Re-
atty, external to consciousness, can in
its real nature in any sense ever be
| known.
I'VE must have a theory of the uni
verse of some kind. The Agnostic per-
ceives that all these theories are wrong,
yet knows that he is himself powerless
to provide the right one. He is man
who is completely disenthralled from
the narrow prejudices so characteristic
of his race. He is as earnest in defend
ing the truth of the definite relations as
anybody, but he does not fight over the
| question as to the abSoluteness of such
relations. He knows that everything
is shifting necessarily, and that the
truth of to-day may be the error of to-
morrow"

Thus is each half of the laboring class
