Troubles of the Editor.

The newspaper man hath much trouble.
One day he is blamed by some individual
because he did not gather enough news.
The next day some one finds fault because
he had stoo much trash" such as Mr.. A
visited, ETC., or Mr.. B. returned home, etc
Another party don't like the last baby
article because it was too rough, and his
friend don't like the same because it was
too tame. One wants more poetry, another
wants more funny paragraphs, while some
want the earth and expect to find it in their
local paper Barnes EateDrrase.

Our MilliOnaires,

From the New England Magazine.
The increase of colossal fortunes
threatens our civilization with seri-
GUS problems: Society practically
says to considerable number of men:
"You shall have out of the produce of
the work of the world, whatever your
heart desires-palaces, carriages,
yachts, luxurious fare, sumptuous ap-
parel, jewels and diamonds, the free
dom to travel over the world" All
this, and more, society cOntrives by
the laws to secure to the millionaire.
Moreover, we make this marvellous
money power heretary, for we permit
our Cresus to extend to his
children and grandchildren the
same liberty of drawing at
Will on the resources of the
world. There are already vast pro-
perties that increase faster than the
family which uses them. We have,
therefore, a caste lifted above the
shoulders of the world and authorized
by custom and the sanction of the law
to crafty their desires at the cost, in
single instances, of the whole annual
labor of one hundred or more average
men, or the utmost possible savings
of thousand men.
If, indeed, the founder of the for
tune had deserved well of the world;
if, in every case, his wealth repre-
sented some grand and exceptional
service; if he had been a Socrates or
an Emerson, deepening the founda-
tions of morals and making human
life better worth living for every one;
if he had been SOphocles or Shak-
speare, enriching the worlds litera-
ture forever; if he had been
an Ericsson or Fulton, winning
the secret of the power of nature; if
he had been great captain of in
dustry, learning to organize and save
the labor of thousands of men-in all
such cases society could we'll afford
to bid the great helper ask for him
self what he desired. What shall
we say, however, of the ordinary mill
lionaire? Has he ever done for society
anything to entitle him to command
the unlimited services of the world?
Indeed, too often he has speculated
his way to fortune by gigantic
methods of cheating and gambling;
or he Lnay have been made accident
ally rich by the growth of the great
town around his stupid grandfather's
farm, or, very often his sole title to
fortune Is by the accident of birth.

THE MONDAY SERMON.

The Christian Observer Gives the
Express Staff Rub.
The December number of the Chris
tian Observer contains lengthy ed
itorial reviewing recent remarks of
the Express in a plain, sharp manner.
The Observer calls the pa
per to task for misrepresent-
ing the minister's convention in
its proceedings in regard to the Mon
day sermon question. 1t says that
the subject for discussion was,
whether or not ministers should fur
nish the Monday papers with their
sermons, instead of "allow" the Mon
day papers to publish them, as the
Express gave it.
The editorial furthermore arraigns
the morning daily for saying that the
ministers association had decided
that it was wrong for calliopes and
street parades to disturb the Sabbath,
and that the publication of Sunday
paper was wrong. The Observer de-
mics that any such decision was..made,
as it considers the first self evident
truth and needed no decision, and
second, it says, was not formally
discussed or acted upon.

TIE DEAD DEBUTANTE.

From the New York Herald.
Here in her dainty chamber
On the snow-white bed IL lies
The dress that brought such q
sparkle
OF Joy to her violet eyes.
A wonderful garment fashioned
Ofyards upon yards of lace,
With knots of silvery ribbons
To fasten the folds In place.
Go, lay it away forever,
In the sweet, dead leaves of the
rose,
With the fan and the fairy slippers,
The gloves and the silken hose.
The bodice, too, that was fitted
To her girlish and graceful shape,
And, heavy with frosty fringes,
The long white opera cape.
Poor Madge, she is done with dancing,
And the pleasures and pains of
life:
No babe shall call her mother,
And no man call her wife.
For below in the darkened parlor,
With her slender feet unshod,
She lies on couch of lilies,
All dressed for the Court of God.

PRISON RULES BROKEN.

The CrOnin COnvicts Communicating
With the Outside World.
CHICAGO, May 8.-Concerning the dis
covery that Burke, Coughlin and
O'Sullivan, serving life sentences in
prison for the murder of DR.. Cronin, had
secured facilities for communication
with the outside world by mail, dis
patch from Joliet says Investigations
showed Tom Hills, foreman of one of the
outside gangs for the copper contract, was
the mail-carrier. He took out letters
from the convicts, and replies were sent
under cover to his house. He has been
discharged. Nothing was discovered in
the letters so far found, except request
for certain luxuries the prisoners wanted
smuggled in, but there has been much
wild speculation as to the extent and
nature of the correspondence. Attorney
Forrest, who represents the prisoners,
SCOTS at the idea that there is anything
in the nature of a plot by means of which
the prisoners hope to escape. He de-
clares that they do not wish to escape,
being convinced that the supreme court
will soon grant them a new trial.

Opposed to General Discussion.
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, was opposed
to any general discussion of the bill. 1t
should be passed speedily. While this
measure was pending in congress, the
business interests OF the country would
be in restless, uneasy condition, which
would only be relieved when the presi-
dent placed his signature to the bill.
Referring to agricultural depression,
he admitted that in some parts of the
was bad, but he did not think it fair
the farmers of foreign countries were in
contrary, he asserted, the foreign farm
ers were in much more deplorable con-
dition than the farmers of the United
States. In the last ten years the farm
lands in England, small in area, depre-
ciated $4 1000, 100000 in value, while he
asserted in the whole American Union
the value of farm lands had not depre-
ciated one cent. He predicted that the
next census would show an increase in
the value of the farms of the country
over their value in 1880.
Flower, of New York, spoke against
the bill, and the committee rose and the
house took recess until O'Clock.
At the evening session speeches were
delivered by Symonds, of Connecticut;
Cooper, of Indiana; Kinsey, of Mis-
souri,; Pierce, of Tennessee Stockbridge,

They know how to cure rheumatism in
Pennsylvania Mr.. J. F. Meighan, a
Pittsburg cigar dealer, awoke one
morning with an attack of rheumatism
in his right arm. Working around the
store during the forenoon made it worse.
By noon the pain was SO severe that he
could not raise his hand to his head and
had to carry his arm in sling. One of his
customers, on learning the facts, went
across the street to E. E. Heck's drug
store, and at his own expense procured
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and persuaded the cigar dealer to try it.
1t eased the pain and reduced the swell
ling so that by the next morning he
could use his arm, and by the second
morning was entirely well. This is only
