From Tuesdays DAILY:
A Magnificent Day.

n iAaSnilccnt Day.
-he ole thing that is the source OF
general comment here is the wonderful
change in the weather. The iaky clouds
that have SO long draped the cerulean
arch with drifting garbs Of impenetrable
dampness and cast their pail like shad-
ows over the disconsolate inhabitants
OF this portion OF the snow burdened
globe, have at last given way to the
glorious cifulgcnce OF Il May day sun and
his sclntllltt!ns rays are now glancing
from the snowcapped hills. The muddy
streets which have so long terrorized
pedestrians will give place to beautiful
boulevards flied with happy throngs.
The sombre darkness OF Rapid rivers
lrown wlllchange to the suniit bright
hess uf d;;iicing smiles that will laugh
away the snowy days OF the past and all
nature will be tinted with IL bewitchlng
plea for forgiveness. Spring is here.

A man who has not too many

What's the matter with present condi-
tions? amt the country alright? What
are you goin. to gam by free silyer??'
cit is too big question to argue here,
but 1 will give you one pointer that
should be enough for most men, what
ever legislation Jay Gould and the CAPT
tallsts OF the east oppose, we are pretty
safe in iavoring. You may be sure that
if free coinage would put money IN their
pockets, they would favor it and con-
gress would pass it. No sir, this coun-
try aint alright. hayc just came from
q trip to the upper camps and will give
you one or two instances. Tobacco
that sell merchants for 10 cents, they
sell at 20 cents, and overalls that cost
them rs cents, they get $1.25 for. The
men are all paid in orders on the stores
and take goods at these figures. Ii a
man manages to save say S5 per month
do you suppose he gets it in cash? Not
much, arrangements have been made
with some bank and there he must go
with his time check and lucky is he if he
gets 81 80 for his 50. Any government
under which such things are tolerated
not alright.

For ii month past there has existed a
mild state OF panic among the self-consti-
tuted guardians OF law and order in
Europe, the cause OF it being anxiety as
to what the dlscontented would do on
May l. Well, the fatal day has come
and gone and nothing Of any moment
has occurred. The discontented are
probably just as discontented as
before, and for the same reasons; and
the crowned and uncrowned laborer
deyourers, having recovered from their
present fright, will continue to waste
and devour what the dumb, patient herd
produce. There is absolutely no sign
that the capitalistlc Pharoahs haye any
thought OF reducing labor's tale OF
bricks. Possibly it is better SO. While
wrongs are bearable the people will bear
them; when the wrongs become intoler-
able they will right them. Would that
we could truth!ully say that we can dis.

day their wrongs will become unendur.
