Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY

Said m eminent English scientist recently:
can people to-day is not the possible adop'
ton of u wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough, TO be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease--I had almost said national
criH,--of oyerwork. The mad rush for

How do we know? Because it is the excep.
ticn TO find man or woman of adultage in
perfect health. Nervous Disorders are
spreading with fearful rapidly. Among the
symptoms, are--Backache, BIliousness, Cold
Hands and Feet, Dizziness, Hot Flashes,
Fluttering Sensation, Painting, Headache.
Hysteria, Irrtabiity of the Heart, Mclan

No political party, not even the DEM
ocratic party, can hold this country
down for long time. The democrats,
IN political sense. have been engaged
In a conspiracy against our material
prosperity for some years. They did
their utmost to greet the Mckinley law
with disaster. and one-half the people
enlisted In such an enterprise can ac-
compllsh great deal. as was seen.
They got up a political strike against
Harrison and prevented his reelection;
and then the countryS was aroused to
the realization Of the CHASTITY fact that
II had fallen into the hands OF the
democratic party, plus Grover Cleve-
land. with cranky congress OF theor-
lists. or course there was panic; and
now instead OF the Wilson muddle
settling anything, 1t Is declared to be
only one step on the way to a South
Sea Island commercial condition. The

the pretext for idle and worthless per-
sons to gain support at the hands of
the charitable, without in any way de-
serving 1t. These persons would not
work II the limit was two hours a day
and the price $40 per hour. They look
tpon labor with horror as degrading,
or at least discommoding to their no.
blenesses. They would much prefer
that some one else should work for
them, and give them the benefit of
their labors. They have an idea that
"the world owes us living" and they
work that idea to the point of exhaus-
tdon--the idea, 1t will be observed, not
they, being the only working force
about the combination. Chicago prob
ably, has more of the unemployed, :"
real or false, willing or unwilling, to
the square block Of her territory than
any other city In the whole land, and
more anarchists. The relief committee
have been feeding at least 1900 men
who have refused to work, and other
cities have had experiences somewhat
similar. though the number Of will
fully idle is not SO great. This state
OF things has made the charitable tired.
Mayor Hopkins has directed that every
man who applies for lodgings at the
police station, after getting relief, be
taken to the central relief committee

ordered to leave town, and the police
have instructions to see that the order
is obeyed. This gives the really de-

burdens Of the charitable, who desire
that no deserving though unfortunate
person shall suffer but do object TO

WAITING FoR GLADSTONE 10 DIE


The conservatives probably exagger-
ate Mr.. Gladstone's Importance to his
party. and they have therefore, ever
since 1856. made delay and obstruction
the keystone of their policy. They kept
the last parliament sitting almost to
the last moment. obstructed the home
rule bill on pretense that they wished
longer time 60 debate It, and are now
obstructing the parish councils bill un-
doubtedly with the expectation that
any day may bring the news Of the
premiers death or breakdown. When
a man is 81, It is not unreasonable TO
expect sudden termination Of some
kind of his activity. For this the con-
servatves are waiting The parish
councils bill is really not q contentious
measure. Although Lord salisbury has
thrown some ridlcule on It, the bulk OF
the conservative people are well content

A Dog Habit.

Have you ever thought why it is that
dog turns around and around when he
jumps up on his cushion or starts to set
tie himself anywhere for nap? Now
that you are reminded, you can recall
that you have seen dog do it many
times, can't you? This habit is about
all that is left to our tame little doggies
of the days long ago, when they were
race of wild animals and lived in the
woods. Their beds then were matted
grass and leaves, and it was to trample
enough grass and properly arrange the
leaves that the dog always trod around
a narrow circle before he would lie
down. The dog Of today keeps up the
same old habit, although there is no
longer any need for it, and of course the
animal has no notion why he does it.

NapOleon's Red Velvet Coat.

In the center of the other glass case
the light falls on magnificent coat of
red velvet embroidered in gold. This
was presented to Napoleon when he was
first consul by the city Of Lyons. A
quaint anecdote is attached to it. One
morning at st. Helena General Bertrand
paid his respects to his exiled master,
accompanied by his little granddaugh-
ter. ''How badly you are dressed, my
childp' remarked Napoleon to his ju-
venile visitor. "But, sire, how can she
help it?' replied the general. ''Here in
st. Helena it is next to impossible to
buy anything worth having
"Wait a moment,' said Napoleon to
the little girl. ''I am going to find you
something for frock." AS he spoke he
went to a drawer, opened it, took out
his own first consul's coat and placed it
over the child's shoulders, saying, with
a laugh, ''Here, this is for you.'' Gen.
eral Bertrand preserved this gift with
the greatest care, and it was from Nine.
Thayer that the princes late father in.
herited it by her bequest. .-Londor

ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY, in
a recent decision, has placed him
self squarely on the side Of the
laboring man. He says strikes are
perfectly legitimate, that working
men have perfect right to organ
lie; and that no corporation, or
company is acting prudently in in
sisting that employees should with
draw from societies, or be com
PEELED to quit work. The; whole
tenor of the decision is far differ
ent thing from Mr.. Olney's posi-
ton during the Debs conflict. At
that time he was most vigorous in
denouncing the laborers. This
change of heart is we'll and good,
and were it not for it's transpar-
ency, would probably effect it's
mission of setting the powers at
Washington in a favorable light
before the great mass Of toilers
throughout the nation. The change
came too late to benefit that party
politically. Already, the emanci-
patton has been effected-the vote
on the sixth day of the month has
demonstrated that the labore1
knows where to turn for relief.

Time and Distance.

We talk glibly enough of the dura-
tion of geologic periods and the dis
tance to the sun or moon, and yet who
has any definite conception of million
of years or a million of miles? Henry
Ward Beecher used to say that he had
some idea of what a thousand dollars
was, but a million was entirely beyond
him. In trying to convey a conception
of his statement that the earth is at
least four hundred million years old, a
scientist says: Cut a strip of paper
eighty-three feet and four inches long,
and two or three inches wide, pin this
up in a long hall, or around the sides
of a tolerably large room; from one end
measure off one-tenth of an inch, and
it bears the same proportion to the
whole strip that hundred years does
to a million. Did you ever walk ten
miles along country road? Then you
have an idea of that distance. Now

This is an atrocious misstatement

The apathy displayed in the
treasury department at Washing
ton, is considered, in Democratic
circles, as one of the causes of the
great landslide. The income in
the finance department is still
falling off, having now reached
the low figure of less than $780,
100000 in gold. It is strongly
urged by able fnanclers that a
bond issue is a necessity. The
hesitatlng policy of Secretary Car
Isle has aroused popular indigna-
ton to such an extent that Presi-
dent Cleveland will probably show
some of his proverbial backbone
and take the arrangement Of fnan-
cial requirements into his own
hands. AS the law now stands,
the administration may issue five
per cent bonds, and Cleveland's
desire to close his term with &
fairly decent record, will undoubt
edly, force the issuance Of the
bonds.

OUR government agent, at Lux

OUR government agent, at Lux
emberg in central Germany, has
made careful examination of
wages as paid in the iron and steel
works of that part of the kingdom.
He reports about half as much in
the way of wages as is paid in the
United States, with about the same
prices for the necessities of life.
The utmost frugality with con-
stant employment, is needed to
keep the laborer out of debt, the
question of getting a competency
is beyond the working mans pos
sibilities. Only to live from day
to day until old age comes on and
then to become an object of char
ity, are among the features that
confront him.

Gov. ALreELD, Of Illinois, the
only man who has dared to say
State Rights since the days of the
civil war, is floundering around in
the quagmire of 1gnominious de-
feat. Such ideas were shot to
death by the bullets and shells of
'61. Their resurrection in his at
tack on Grover Cleveland during
the great strike, brought down the
wrath of patriots from every quar-
ter. He, like Gov. Waite Of Col
orado, will be known only as an
admonition to other cranks who
have possibly survived the cyclone.
