A great deal of criticism is being voiced

people occupying the most responsible
positions of honor and trust are very
severe in their accusations. A gentleman

CURIOUS EXAMPLE OF MIMICRY.
by concealing them from their enemies or
from their prey, or by attracting other ami
mails which may be useful to them. Ex-
amples of this mimicry abound everywhere
There is very common locust, which is
often found in dusty roads, and which is
quite conspicuous while flying; but the
moment it drops to the ground it is almost
absolutely indistinguishable from the dust
and dirt in which it rests.
Commenting further upon this remark
able natural fact, Popular Science News
presents few instances in illustration of
the same, selected from a recently pub
ished work on the subject; among them
are the following:
The caterpillar of the Dicranua vinula
(see first cut) shows curious example Of
mimicry. The upper figure shows the ami
NAL in state of repose; but when disturbed,
1t puffs up it's head-which is surrounded
by red border and provided with two
black spots resembling eyes-into the shape
shown in the lower figure. The general
effect is to apparently transform the de-
fenseless caterpillar into ferocious looking
vertebrate animal, and thus effectually
brighten away any birds or other animals
which might otherwise destroy it.
In another form of mimicry an animal
may initiate harmless or inoffensive form,
for the purpose of approaching its prey
without alarming it. Thus the two spiders
represented in the second cut-the Syna-
geles picata and the Sinemosyna formica-
resemble ants much more closely than they
do spiders The antenn@ Of the ant are
represented by the two front feet, and they
even initiate the peculiar zigzag gait Of the
ant instead Of that of the less perfectly
disguised spiders.
The authority referred to says that we
speak of these animals as Initiating"
other forms Of life; it is not voluntary
imitation, but an inheritance through a
long line of ancestors. If in some remote
time the natural tendency of all forms of

inc Troubles at Homestead the Inevit.
able Result of the Tariff system.
The discussion Of the tragedy at thu
Homestead mills is bringing out some
or the serious thoughts Of intelligent
men in regard to dangers not only from
contact of capital and labor, like this
deplorablo one, but from the inevitable
results that must follow the congestion
of wealth in the hands of a compara-
lively few. The opinion seems to be
rapidly gaining ground that we are TO
have more rather than less of these trou-
bles, and that they are but symptoms of
disease that is becoming deep seated
and that threatens the very life of our
republic, which outwardly looks so
fair. 1t is also beginning to be recog-
nlzed that nostrums and quack rene
dies, such as schemes of profit sharing,
cooperation, ETC., though they may do
moro good than harm, yet they can
never cure the general disease which
can be reached only by radical remedies.
What then is the disease that is racking

wealth? What was its cause, what has
been its progress and what is the rem
edy?
For want of better name we will
call the disease plutocracy. 1t comes
from the unequal distribution of earn.
ings or wealth, the greater part of
which is rapidly being concentrated
into the hands of few. Hundreds are
reaping where millions SOW; resulting
in miliioaaires ON the one hand and
tramps Oh the other, with the pressure
OH all between becoming greater and
greater. The evils of this system are
that while III theory the laws are made
by the people, practically the masses
only obey the laws made by the rich.
Money becomes king. The evils Of
the system are far reaching. Glasses
and castles arc established. The wealthy
become arrogant or lead wild and reck-
less lives. The poor lose hope, courage
and patriotism and accept sullenly their
lot as subjects and slayes of the million

aires VINO employ them or VINO hold
mortgages over their heads.
The cause Of this disease is found in
the laws and systems which grant pub
lie property and privileges to private
individuals or corporations.
The disease had but little hold upon the
country previous to the civil war. There
were then no more millionaires than
could be counted on ones fingers. During
the war Of 1875 big government con-
tracts laid the basis of some of the large
fortunes since accumulated. The pro-
lection system was then begun which
has ever since been taking money from
the pockets of farmers and laborers and
putting it into those Of the manufactur-
ers. The increased powers OF produc-
ton resulting from improved machinery
and methods have increased the infiu-.
ence and power of capital SO that
millionaires are being turned out more
rapidly than ever before. The New
York Tribune printed q list of over
1000 millionaires few weeks ago, clas-
styling them according to the sources
Of their wealth.
According 10 THIS auCuOrlUy aDout on
per cent. made their money chiefly in
protected industries, perhaps 30 per
cent. mainly as holders of or specula-
tors in land, and the remainder n6bstly
from patent or other monopolies, appre-
citation of money values, etc. The most
Of these fortunes are accumulated legal
ly, though often laws are strained after
being made to aid such accumulations.
But Justice would not have distributed
wealth in any such fashion. 1t would
leave valuable monopolies in the hands
of private persons, but would make the
production of property the only title to
it. 1t would erect no barriers to COM
merce to compel consumers to buy dear
goods of any favored set of producers,
but would leave opportunities and priv
ileges open to all alike.
The remedy for this disease then can
not be found in laws that will increase
restrictions upon trade or grant more
privileges to any class. Restrictions
must be removed and the indirect meth
DDS of taxation which now fitch money
from the poor and turn it over to the
rich must be replaced by direct sys-

Reform Club Work.

Chairman E. Ellery Anderson, Of the
Reform club, has just issued an appeal
for subscription which contains the fol-
lowing statement of one of the objects
Of the club during the campaign:
It is our earnest desire to secure the
election of Grover Cleveland as presi-
dent of the United States. We wish to
satisfy the great masses Of voters that
protective tariff does not tend to in
crease the wages of the workman, but
on the contrary tends to decrease them.
We wish to satisfy them that pro-
tective tariff does increase the prices
of the necessaries of life, and that the
truth in regard to this matter cannot be
reached by comparing the prices of to-
day with prices in years gone by, but
that the true test is obtained by COM
pairing the prices of articles in this
country with the prices at the same
period of the same or similar articles in
other markets.
We wish to satisfy the great masses
Of the voters that the chief end and OBJ
1ect Of the protective system is to de-
velop in this land the most baneful of
al industries, til manufacture of the
millionaire" We wish to satisfy these
masses that wealth which is not the re-
ward Of labor, but which is the unnat-
uai product of laws passed for the ben
snt Of favored classes, is Of necessity
1sawn out of the substance and savings
tne poor, and it is for that reason al

pathy must not Interfere.
In small businesses and factories there
is still left something of brotherly love.
The employer knows majority of his
employees and sympathizes with them,
but with the millionaire corporations
and trusts that now predominant in the
protected" industries this sentiment"
in business is minimized. The manager
sits in his Office perhaps thousand
miles from his employees, many of whom
have never seen him and could not speak
his language if they did. There is little
opportunity for the cultivation of SYM
pathy in such an arrangement, nor does
the manager seek any. Justice, sympa-
thy, love are foreign to his business,
which is not run on Sunday school prin-
ciples. He himself has had to reverse
all his Sunday school ideas to become
the president of so great company.
He knows that shrewdness, diplomacy,
deception, cunning and fraud count for

MANAGERS or MILLIONS.

The Man Who Is Most Indifferent to
Distress Is Chosen to Head the Trust.
The Rev. ]. j. McIllyar, pastor of the
Methodist church at Homestead, Pa,
scourged the manufacturers who had
brought Pinkerton assassins into the
peaceful village of the iron workers who
were manfully and quietly resisting a
heavy reduction of wages and the at
tempt to break up their association.
Here is one of his questions and state
ments:
why should men who are piling up
millions each year be quarreling and
sending Pinkerton guards to drive away
honest men, who are as good and as
honest and as upright as any in this
land. but who are not willing to be made
slaves or dealt with unfairly? This town
of peace is bathed in tears without suffi-
Gent cause. The employers have select
ed man to take charge of the plant

gate our present system Of trusts and

der "protection" he will fluid that this
is the normal condition of affairs. Other
qualifications being equal the man who

To Drill Tempered Steel.

For drilling tempered steel The Horolog-
ical Review directs to make the drill oval
instead of giving it the usual form, and
temper it as hard as possible without
burning. Touch the surface of the metal
to be acted on lightly with dilute nitric
acid, so as to render it slightly rough.
Lubricate the drill from time to time with
essence of turpentine instead of oil (some
workmen use kerosene or good rectified
petroleum in which camphor has been dis
solved). When the drill will catch no
longer, clean the hole at the bottom with
the turpentine or kerosene, with the addi-
ton of little acid, and continue the oper-
alton. This method is little compli-
Gated, but it is the only safe way for drill
ing steel

to an antlike form, that spider would have
q distinct advantage in capturing his prey,
and would be more likely to survive and

A WORD FROM MIR. MINER.

EDITOR HERALD: think every man
in this city should express hi. feelings
and give his opinion on the proposition
to bond this city for the purpose of pay
ing other peoples obligations. 1t appears
that the city government is in bad shape
by the miserably bad management Of
those who have had the power to grant
privileges to the different petitioners for
improving certain locations Of tn. city /;
and these petitions came from parties
who did not seek to benefit the masses,
but for their own special benefit, or, in
other words, to boom and whitewash the
real estate in their part icular location re-
gardless OF the commercial resources OF
the city. These men, few in number,
but owners o; large sections or blocks OF
city property, and who, according to the
best authority attainable. have refused
or cannot pay FOR their own extravaganza
and now seek to bond the city to pay for
their recklessness.
If a man is inclined to advise conser-
vativness in the management OF the city
government he is called crank or a
mossback, and tod that he is in coun-
try of great resources needing immediate
development SO that the world could see
what people for building city OF wind
the citizens of Aberdeen are. They have
succeeded admirably, and it would seem
advisable to listen to even crank, and
let the law take its proper course and
land those who are responsible Tor the
situation in the Jail or make them pay
for their wanton actions in adminstra-
ton of the city's business.
AS for the bond question, it seems to
me that if the people vote to help
such men out of their difficulty they de-
serve to be enslaved, but can't believe
they will do SO. 1 will not sign this artl-
Gle with the usual taxpayer, or well
