Down WITH THE CREDIT SYS-
TEN,

For debt, in olden times, the creditor
sold the debtor his wife and children
into slavery upon default of payment.
Later 1T was the fashion for the creditor
upon default OF payment to put the
debtor In Jail, and seize everything he
hao upon execution, turning his family
out into a cold and careless world, naked
almost and without means of support.
Now the creditor may not, upon default,
lmprlson the debtor and deprive his
family Of substance, unless he foolishlv
mortgages his substance. The next step
in the evolutionary process will be to
deny the creditor the right to enforce a
mortgage, which if enforced, will pau
perise himself and his family, and the
final and last step in the march of prog
ress will; be TIC abolish debt, by abolishing
the laws for the enforcement of debts or
executnry contracts. Let the time be hast
ened when this last step towards eman-
clpation of nan from the bitter oppres-
sion of Shylock shall be accomplished.
That time will come. The steps of prog
ress are in that direction. The deyotees

can't be done; that business couldn't be
done without debt, that the s'credit sys-

But the wise men stop here; having found

nothing seems to them to remain to b

turbances; it is possible for men to dis

the wise men fold their arms, and, having,
as they think, located the financial storm

be done but to await the next commercial

of it's source. Truly all the fools are not

Electrical Terms.

Every trade or profession has a lam
guage Of it's own, which few outsiders
can understand. Electricians are pc
culiarly prone to the use of odd terms,
all of which have a meaning, however.
Thus we hear them speak of "farad,"
@ohms," "~joules," "amperes," "watts,"
etc. The unit of capacity is one farad;
unit of resistance, n ohm; the unit of
work, one joule; the unit of activity,
one watt; the unit of quantity, one
coulomb; the unit of current, one am
pere; the unit of magnetic field, one
gauss; the unit of pressure, one volt;
and the unit of force, one dyne.
Odd as these names may sound to
the ear, there is really nothing wonder
full in connection with their origin, they
all having been derived from the name
of some man famous in his special field
Of electrical study.
Thus Michael Faraday, George s.
Ohm, and James P. Joule, famous I'm.
glish and German discoverers, give
their names to the first three units
mentioned above; James Watt and
Andre NJ. Ampere, English and French
inventors, to the two units following;
Charles A. Coulomb and Carl F. Gauss,
the former a Frenchman and the latter
a German, give their names to the
units of quantity and magnetic field.
The volt is named for the italian dis
coverer, Volta; the dyne is derived
from the root word of dynamo. itself
meaning force.

GEN. BOOTH, like poet, novelist, dra-

the gauntlet of the critics, who say
that his scheme for helping the poor OF
Darkest England is taken bodily from
the plan of Count Rumford, tried q
hundred years ago in Bavaria. This is
a mistake. Count Rumford was one of
the most eminent men that America
has produced, and, according to Prof.
Tyndall. his discoveries about heat
along with their practical application
place him in the front rank of his con.
temporaries. But his relief of the
poor was altogether a coercive system,
unconnected with moral or religious
agencies, and succeeded only in driving
beggars from Bavaria into the adjoin-
ing countries.

III ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Yeu have written of the falling
OF the thrones of purse-proudl kings.
An have prophesied an early day
For the flow OF plenty's springs;
You tell us that our starry flag
To the wide world will be flung
BY glad triumphant progress
When royalty's knell Is run
But think you, lovely sister,
That our chains Will break themselves,
That our letters will be borne away
BY stealthy mountain elvesp
That our care and toll will vanish
And our deep Injustice die,
While the great mass OF the toilers
Utter no protesting cry!
Think you that dull indifference,
Or a careless yielding up
OF all the freeman's liberties,
VIII fill the poor map's cupf
NO! for curses, prayers. predictions
Die and fade like rising mists;
He alone can move us onward
Who for tireles work enlists.
Trust in the old assertion
Whose truths so lucid grow;
Who'd taste the sweets of liberty
Themselves must strike the blow"
For freedoms fruits are harvested
BY a marshaling OF hosts,
Whose labOrs must be mighty
AS the sons OF Philip boasts.
By their own dead weight alone;
Their descent is written only
In creeds torn down and champions thrown;
But when laborers, with the ballot,
Their powers invincible display,
The time is coming rapidly
When thrones shall pass away.

The murder of Benwell by Burchell

caused the following remarks about
emigration frauds by a London paper:
Is there any punishment too severe for

their homes and start for an imaginary

parting with their all to get there? 1t

made until the swindlers have got away
