That Silver Churn.

That silver churn story concerning the
youngest daughter of the Prince of
Wales, Princess Maud, whom Lord Rose
berry is to marry, is truly touching if it
only touches the right spot. It seems
that the Princess of Wales has at one of
her country places dairy fitted up,
where she and her daughters play at
butter making. The fact that Alexan-
dra comes from Denmark, the leading
dairy country of Europe, may perhaps
account for her fondness for buttermilk
and churning.
At any rate, in this royal dairy there is
silver churn, which the princesses ply
with their own hands to make the but
ter come. The milk and cream are kept
in silver jars, porcelain lined, and the
dairy itself is lined and floored with pea
cock blue tiling. After the Princess Of
Wales and her daughters have brought
little pat of butter in the silver churn
they retire to an elegant tearoom ad-
joining, fitted with every luxury, spread
the butter they have made upon some
bread and have feast, while somebody
else cleans up the dairy things
This proceeding is supposed to indi-
cate to the British public the tremen-
dously domestic tastes and Industrious
habits of Mrs. Wales and her daughters.
II it was plain, decent dairy, such as
the girls of Great Britain earn their liv-
ing in, and if these royal ladies did any
real work there. certainly it would be
commendable in them thus to show their
interest in useful occupation. But the
little humbug they practice iS only in
tended to throw little dust in the eyes
of the British public as to the sweetness
of royalty, which it apparently does do.
A grand farce it is. We somehow re-
member in reading of it that thus Marie
Antoinette and her court ladies played
at being dairy maids on the very eve of
the outbreak Of the French revolution.

Dickens portrays the character Of an amia-

eign mission work, OF making shirts for the
tropical savages of Boorioboolaga that she
had no time to wash the faces or patch the
wardrobes OF her own dirty and ragged
children. Senator Frye, on Friday last, turned
this fiction into history by thus pathetically
appealing in behalf OF the Hawaiians:

a corresponding depression following. but
nothing could cure the present monetary ills

Mrs. Cleveland.

A young woman has written to the Cleve-
land Plaindealer an account Of a visit to the
White House made by company of women
from Cleveland. We now obtain the Cleve-
land idea from her:
We passed through the main vestibule and
grand corridor, and thence through the red room
to the blue room, where our hostess smilngly
awaited US. A great many of US were very much
surprised when we caught the first glimpse of
her, as we did not expect to see such majestic.
looking woman. Her hair is dark and she wears
IL away from her forehead, coiled simply at the
back Her eyes are blue, shaded by dark lashes,
and her complexion pale, but not with the pale
ness of ill-health She also has a true woman's
sweet smile.
1 With what feelings we approached can better
be imagined than described. Here We were
trying to realize that the smiling woman before
us the highest lady in the land As We
drew near her our names were announced by
our chaperon. and our hostess greeted us with a
warm handshake, and say warm handshake in
the true sense Of the word. for the hand was un-

Burglars in the Sewers.

5000 francs. He called the police, and sew
eral OF them, together with somo sewermen,
penetrated into the dark vaults, slipping and
sliding along the mud OF the sewers, and with
single lantern. They had not gone far when
they discovered man and called to him to
stop BAIT with cry, Madonna, Don't kill
me-" the man fed along the sewer, the po-
lice firing after him and following him for at
least mile, passing under three or four
streets, but without success. The police are
now watching the sewers like cats, but there
are many escape holes.

THE POST, AND TIE POOR.

Our morning contemporary editoriauy e1-
presses its sympathy for our working poor,
and hopes that capitalists will build small
flats for the use of such as are forced out Of
the alleys under the police regulations and
charge low rents for their use.
The intelligence exhibited in this proposal
is not unusual. Capitalists are generally the
first, instead OF the last, to discover profitable
invest ments, but it is not their practice to let
their property for any less rent than they can
get.
We wish TO suggest to the Post better task
than that of undertaking to make poverty
merely endurable. inasmuch as that can be
safely left to those who are not Influenced by
charitable or any other than personal busi-
ness motives. II Is the abolition of involun-
tary poverty.
1t is suggested that it Is only necessary to
remove the barriers that fence labor and cap
ital out of the opportunities to produce
wealth. and then to permit them each to re-
tain all that they produce.
1t has been argued that to do this 1t is only
necessary to repeal certain laws and to amend
certain other laws, as follows:
The present assessment law, which has
thrown the great burden of taxation en- the
small home owner and given comparative ex-
emption from taxation TO the wealthy prop
erty owner and land speculator;
The law taxing improvements to land,
which tends to increase the tenants rent,
and. by relieving land from the burden Of
taxation to foster the land monopoly:
The law taxing personal property, which
places an unjust burden on widows and or
phans whose property is under supervision of
the probate court, and on merchants stocks
ofgoods, which increases the prices Of those
goods to the consumers;
The law which imposes only an insignificant
tax on land, thus fostering land speculation
and land monopoly, and making it impossible
for the average workingman to own home.
It does seem that by raising wages and
cheapening commodities and land and houses
the so-called ''labor problem could be set
tied, and there would be no occupation for
those very good people whose goodness is
limited to almsgiving.

Greeting a New Minister.

the departure of minister whose time had

the man appointed to succeed him. The pas

"He is good man and an able preacher.
but-there, don't suppose I ought to say
anything, and think. on reflection, that
won't"
OF course this inflamed everybody's curl
osity and they insisted on his explaining.
After disclaiming any intention to prejudice
the new man, he informed them that the
coming minister parted his hair in the middle.
The congregation were indignant, but de-
cided to suspend final judgment until they
had seen the new man. The next Sunday,
when he walked composedly uD the aisle,
every eye was upon him. and as he faced the
people there was broad smile on every face
in the chapel. He was baldi

The PROBLEM FOR THE PEOPLE.

The history OF the world is the record OF
mans efforts to free himself from the chains
and burdens placed upon him by his fellow
man. Through all the past the conflict has
bseu between man and mammon-between
tha people and power-between the scattered
and segregated individuals who constitute
.ho great majority of mankind. and who are
c-d1!e to act readily in concert, on the one
hand. and the segregated, organized, and
consolidated forces of society upon the
othsr-organized forces acting with that
s'eepless vigilance, wonderful CELEBRITY. and
r-oligious power which can only be attained
~ concentrating in the hands Of the few the
Cutel energies of the many.
IN order TO secure the supposed blessings
OF government the masses of mankind have
ever been willing to lay at the feet of chosen
leaders their united power, their rights, their
liberties, and their lives, and the result has
always been the same. The people have
been betrayed, power has been prostituted,
rights disregarded and set aside, freedom
trampled upon, which proves all too plainly
that power welded by man over man is ever
OF the people.
All history attests that man, clothed with
power. will use it to his own advantage, just

The great evil of the age is the concentra-
tion of wealth in the hands of the few and the
consequent impoverishment of the masses,

merous school of politicians is teaching
