Hut Ii Is Done

No government has a right to farm
out or allow certain class of citi-
zens to conduct a monopoly unre-
strained and unrestricted. To claim
that it had, would be to advocate the
doctrine that the government could
authorize one OF its subjects to exact
tribute from all the balance of its sub
jects. s.-Comanche Exponent.
This is just the trouble now. The
rights of the whole people have been
farmed out by special laws to the
few who are authorized by law to rot
the many, hence existing conditions.

Paley Is Right.

Paley, over a century ago. wrote as
follows:
"There is principle, proof against
all argument, bar against all prog
ress. and which, if persisted in. can
not but keep the mind in everlasting
ignorance-and that is, contempt
prior to examination
The bigots who follow the lead of a
plutocratic press and yell anarchist
at the reformers of to-day without an
examination Of the principles advo-
Gated by the reformers, are living ex-
amples OF the truth of Paley' remark.
Everlasting ignorance" expresses

INCOMES FROM THE SLUMt
Where Some of the Charitable Got the
Wealth They Give.

Wealth They Give.
The Inconsistencies of the Rich
would make an interesting chapter
were it not for the fact that in all
justice it should be followed by one on
the Inconsistencies of the Poor" and
then wider Judgment would end by
CHASING them under the "Inconsisten-
cies OF Human Nature" There is,
however, certain type of charitably
disposed rich women that have this
trait so largely in one respect that it
invites attention. A woman of this
class is taught from childhood the
duty Of giving a tithe to the poor.
She is good and takes pleasure in the
duty. Religiously she apportions each
year sums of money to help the needy
and improve the vicious. She is very
devout; attends faithfully to every
church duty; sits Sunday in her lux
urious pew, and is moved to deepest
sympathy by appeals on behalf of suf-
fering humanity, and gives freely
when the time comes.
If such a woman were told that she
is in a measure the cause OF much
that she endeavors to alleviate by
money she would not understand.
Yet she is, aud if some day she would
visit personally some of the real estate
from which is derived the income
which keeps her in ease her eycs
would open to many things. 1t is q
notorious fact that many of the
wealthy class are totally unacquainted
with their possessions, which they
leave entirely in the hands of agents
whose business it is to make the most
money possible out of them. Most OF
the houses in certain neighborhoods
pass through many hands until by a
series of subletting they reach the
miserable creatures who pay for q
small space within. So one of the
potent factors in ''slum" making
wakes and grows strong.
Some time ago one who had gone
down, to live among the poor end
miserable, hoping by personal contact
to better their condition, found near
the tiny house which he had taken q
most deplorable state of affairs, says
the Chicago Times A narrow alley
way contained five small houses Of
three rooms each. each room being
occupied by one family. Fifteen fam
lilies were thus crowded into this mar
row space. One hydrant did duty for
the whals G4ojfa, and=hsrs-xeu99- and
old, male and female, performed what
ablutions they felt moved to indulge
in. The one clubhouse was in such a
terrible condition that the stranger
feared disaster when the warm wealth
er should come. He fohnd out that
the property was owned by woman
of wealth. and paid her personal
visit. He described to her the terrible
conditions, of which she knew nothing.
as she never interfered with such
business, she said.
She was pursuaded, however, to
visit the place and was shocked into
bed for two days by what she saw
there. Workmen were speedily sent
and the condition of one little slum
was materially bettered. II some
more of this personal inspection could
be brought about many more dark
spots would be frightened.

A Sailing Car.

In 1880 a sailing car was tried on
the South Carolina railroad. Its trial
trip was made with fifteen gentlemen
on board. When going. at the rate of
twelve miles an hour the mast went
overheard with several of the crew,
and the result was general discourage

Otero Causes q Lawsuit.

Otero the dancer, Is the cause Of a curl
Gus lawsuit between landlord and tenant
in the Paris Civil court. A house owner
In the Rue Pierre Charron let an apart
ment to an Englishman on condition,
among other things, that he should live in
1t bourgeoisement like private indi-
vidual, that Is.
The Englishman installed Mile. Otero
In the rooms, and the landlord wanted to
evict him, because Mile. Otero's hair
dresser insisted on going up the front
stairs, because her servants received visits,
because her carriage blocked the street and
gathered crowd. because, when she ap-
peared on her balcony, gentlemen lined
tho opposite sidewalk and filled tho neigh
boring stores, because she received persons
who were not bourgeois, suoh as pianists,
singers and dancing teachers and because
she had had row with her creditors In
the apartment.
Neither the landlord, the court, nor the
other tenants, however, seem to have
thought that the open relation between
the dancer and the tenant was any ground
for eviction.-New York Sun.

Many strange aud wonderful things

powerful searchlight OF the steamer ST.

and awe inspiring spectacle flashed itself to

after her usual ramble among the islands

nation escaped from the people on the up

danced band Of sprites robed In spotless
white and with features Of q CHASTITY pale
ness They uttered not n sound, but In
the wild light OF the electric eye they
fitted noiselessly through the mszes OF
ethereal measures. For moment the
illusion was continued. and the spectators
were truly startled. But the straip Of sup
pressed merriment whs too great for some
Of the sprites to contain, and tho peal Of
silvery laughtAr told that they were flesh
and blood, andlnot Inhabitants OF another
world.
The idea Of masquerading for the benefit
of the searcblight people had been sug'
gested by one Of the brightest Of the ladies
who are summering here, and onoe
broached had been seized upon with a
