HOW THEY HUNG.

That address issued by republican
senators day before yesterday In a re-
markable state paper simply for the
pranks il plays with rhetoric. Colonel
Sanders, whose limpid dictiOn always
e~ntertains, will e h address and
smile. lie may show il to Maginnis,
but If he does il will he under promise
not to parade it's utterances in WASH
ingtOn. If the aim of h suffering re-
publicans i'm Helena was to awaken
popular sympathy for themselves they
made "a ten-strike in One sentence of
the address which says: changing by
this fragment If hope, ne hare st0id
at omr posts tn the last moment" The
substitution of ''r'' for III i'm the word
hope would have shown the republican
situation i'm more vivid colOrs. The
people of Montana will have their

endure torment which results from
hanging by SO fragile u fabric AZ the

enough to cut themselves down.. These
are the gentlemen who had Becker
right i'm their hands. used him to pass
bills and then didn't know enough To
attend to commonplace details and
make the thing binding. However, the
man who spends ninety mortal days
and nights hanging by a fragment of a
hope and trying all that time tn tackle
a post of duty, has "a pretty hard game
and merits the sympathy of a compass

of his Country to east his spiritual WIS.,

and see how grandly the Union has
marched on toward its exalted destiny
during the year that closes with an
other recognition of his birthday.
Yet we fancy that Washington will
feel ~nervously about tn make SUR that
his halo is in place to-day. when ne
reflects on the astounding stupidity of
the legislators in the state that bears
his own name. when he pOnders the
conduct of the silver Bow c%anvassing
board or follows the footsteps of
h democratic senators. and especially
when he learn that the patriotic SONS
of North Dakota, and the leading
newspapers of that state to boot.

But for the rules that govern i'm
the happy realm where Washington
must surely have his fixed abode. we
presume the veteran who ranks first

profanity this morning i'm view of the
conduct of the three turbulent young
sters in n federal family.
Yet h immortaliZed Washington
may get comfort by rejecting this
morning on how things used tn be

day OF his greatness that u lottery
scheme was seriously projected in order
to Save Thomas Jefferson's broker for

men i'm New Works legislature as is
the dullest of the duh at Olympia. John

Redistribution of Property.

In q sermon in the Brooklyn Acad-
envy of Music, Sunday, September
2lst, DR.. Talmage said:
much is said against capitalists,
but the world would be a very shaky
world without them. Who built the
great railroads which, while they
give such facilities of travel, employ
tens of thousands of laborers, sup
porting them and their families? Capt.
talists. Who build great ships that
stir the rivers and bridge the
ocean? Capitalists. Who reared
the thousands of factories all over
the land In which hundreds of thous-
ands of employees earn their daily
bread? Capitalists. Who endowed
your colleges and opened free librar-
les and built asylums for the orphan,
the crippled and the insane? Capt.
talists! But for them there would
not be an academy of music, or a pic
ture gallery, or free library, or q
steam boat, or railroad in America.
Who put the world on seventy-five
years beyond what 1t would have
been in enterprise, in comforts, In
educational advantage in good things
without number? Capitalists.
The more money man gets the bet
ter, If it comes honestly and is en-
ployed righteously. Nevertheless we
all see that there needs to be redis-
tribution of property. Communism
proposes to make that distribution by
torch and dagger and dynamite.
Throw the midnight express train Oft
the track and put the factory into
confagration. Disrupt society, bur-
glarize, assassinate. Such people be-
lieve neither in God nor man nor wo-
man, and they know how to make
things worse, but never can make
anything better.
1 tell you now there will come a re-
distribution of property. Under
the divine blessing good people will
get more alertness and accumen and
assiduity. Many good people are
kept in straitened circumstances
because they have been indolent or
lacked courage to take honest advan-
tage of circumstances, and were too
stupid to get on. With the very
same surroundings others went on to
competency. In the better days
to come good men will have their
faculties awakened, and will in con-
sequence rise to larger shares of pros
perity. On the other hand, estates
wrongfully accumulated, will dis
solve. II not the sons, then the
grandsons will make the money fly,
and it will gradually scatter in their
hands and become apart of the gen.
eral wealth.
