RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.

Pres. Gates of Amherst college brings
out an interesting fact in stating that in
the old days it used TO be a common
thing for the man who had, by the time
he reached middle life, acquired prop
erty enough to assure Il comfortable fu-
tnre, to retire from business" and de-
vote good share of the leisure he thus
secured to efforts for the benefit of the
public. That kind of man is seldom
seen now. NO one retires, and every
body keeps up high pressure until he
drops. The old class of men of mature
years who had leisure and brains to give
to the public is not CONSPICUOUS now, and
the public suffers by it. Men who win
"A competence by the time they are 80
ought to retire, both on their own ac-
count and to make room for others. They
need not rust, and they will not if they
have kept their hearts and minds open
to something else besides accumulating
money Boston Record.
If President Gates had looked little
further into this question he might have
discussed it more understandingly. The
whole ground was gone over only few
years since in the English and German
reviews. In both these countries, it was
said, there was surplus of professional
men, not because the schools sent out
greater number than ought to be
required to meet the demand, but for the
reason that almost none retired. Retire.
ment from the practice of the professions
was impossible for those who had reached
an age to warrant such a step, owing tt
the low rate of interest obtainable OF
secure Investments. In other words, the
low rate of interest made necessary the
earning of "A larger amount of money
than formerly to insure the same income
and this larger amount the majority o1
professional men did not accumulate till
death retired them. In consequence,
places were not made as rapidly as for
merly for new men, the professions were
crowded, thus further diminishing til,
rate of earnings and Increasing the evi
complained of. The English and German
writers took the situation very seriously
nor were they able to see or to suggest
remedy. Perhaps we are getting into thu
same shape in this country.

CITY AND COUNTRY MORALITY.

The police of New York city are en-
gagged in a war on the men who purport
to deal in counterfeit money, which they
advertise to sell at reduced rates, $1,000
for $50, for instance, They invariably
seek customers in country towns, and
when they get customers good money
send nothing, or boxes filled with waste,
or they induce would-be buyers to 90 to
the city and then rob them. The sun,
speaking of the business, says:
The green goods business is run on IA
cynical theory of human nature which is
sustained by its successful application.
1t is that the inclination to rascality is
much more frequent than it seems to be,
and that it exists in its latent form more
especially outside of the cities. The
green goods swindlers, it will be observed,
never undertake to work the great COM
munities where the friction of society
keeps the wits of people bright. The
back country is the field of their opera
tions. Neither do they expect to find
their gudgeons among those who are
open to the suspicion of tendency to
criminal practices. Such men are too
sharp to be caught by trick so trans
parent. They hunt their prey among the
hypOcritical members of rural communi-
ties, whose credulity is stronger even
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1891-10-30

than their vicious greed, and whose folly
exceeds the criminal cunning they hide.
We cannot agree with the Sun that the
number of hypocrites is greater in the
country districts than in the cities. Men
who pose at home as models of hon
esty are, it is true, sometimes met with
among the victims of green goods deal
ers, but no more frequently than among
the defaulters and embezzlers of the cit
les. The green goods business flourishes
on the greenness and cupidity of coun-
trymen. They are ignorant and greedy
rather than criminal and hypocritical.
The city man, on the other hand, is well
aware of the whole machinery of this
business and so lets it alone. He knows,
too, as the countryman does not. the dam
gers of trying to pass counterfeits. If
the countryman knew as much as the
city man he would be as free from temp
tation from this quarter. 1t will hardly
do for residents of cities to set them
selves up as the superiors of the country
folk in common honesty Just yet; they
may know more, but they aren't any
better

NEW ENGLAND Rum.

The liquor trade with Africa consists
in no small degree in the expectation of
New England rum to the dark continent.
New England rum, facetiously known as
white wine, is, undoubtedly, one of the
most powerful poisons known. and the
simple African who dalles with it will
lead a short but exciting life. Even in
New England, where alcohol, bay rum,
and Jamaica ginger have to be used to
amuse the bored palates of the natives,
the wine of the country is regarded as a
trifle irritating. The New England peo-
pie, therefore, with characteristic philan-
thropic and altruistic instinct, send the
choice product out of the country. 1t is
drink which it is safest to take bv
proxy. 1t may be bad for Africa, but
Africa cannot expect to have As fine an
assortment of wet goods as is kept by
the Somerset club of Boston, for instance.

The ELECTIONS,

The voters of Massachusetts. New
York, Ohio and Iowa will elect full State
tickets on Tuesday next. The reports
from the three first named show that an
exceptionally lively canvass has been
made by both parties. In Ohio it is, for
the most part, fight over the tariff, as
was inevitable with one of the candidates
for governor so closely associated with
that question as i Mr.. Mckinley. The
election of the Republican ticket there is
regarded as probable by trustworthy
observers. In New York the fight is
against Tammany and Hill. There the
Republicans have cause for hope in the
rupture among tie Democrats and in the
accession to their ranks of most of the
independents. New York is undoubted-
ly Democratic State when both parties
are harmonious, but when the Demo-
Gratis get into row among themselves
the Republicans stand good chance of
winning. Massachusetts, too, is regard
ed as hopeful by conservative Republi-
cans in position to know what they are
talking about. Altogether the Republi-
cans of the country have no great need
to apprehend result unfavorable to
them from the approaching elections in
these States.

The death of Parnel has not brought
peace to Ireland; on the contrary it has
led to unhappy collisions between his late
adherents and the McCarthyities. The
latter assaulted the former at Black
Rock, a few days ago. with mud, and
Monday night as the workers on the Ma
tional Press of Dublin, the organ of the
McCarthyites, were about to begin their
labors, bomb was exploded in front of

given to the Parnelites. But these per-
formances do not solve the problem of

THE CONTEST IN BorETorKr.

There is quite an interesting contcs:
going on in Botetourt county. The
meeting at Buchanan yesterday fur
nishes abundant evidence Of the strength
of the movement for the removal Of the
courthouse from Fincastle to buchanan,
but when the friends OF Fiucastlc in
the other end OF the county meet to
counteract this movement, there will be
more evidence OF a spirited contest.
This movement will enter largelyinto
the cam paign. Mr.. Penn, who was yes
terday nominated for the Legislature by
the removal party, is staunch Demo
crat. The Farmers Alliance already
has candidate in the field, and the
Democrats will also put out a man
who will be supported largely by those
who oppose the proposed removal OF the
courthouse.
With this unique combination there is
no telling what the result will be. The
election of Mr.. Penn would tie great
victory for the removal party. as it
would practically settle the question in
their favor.
Judging from yesterdays meeting, the
Alliance candidate is like the man who
fell out Of the balloon.
