IN the PHILIPPINE Islands Spain has

where there are but 100000 in Cuba.
II is true that five-sixths of these are
barbarians, of the negro type, but the
Spaniards have never been able to over

Spaniards took possession of the islands.

ANOTHER FALSE CLAIM.

Mr.. Mallock, the eminent sociologist,
has taken up the claim that the rich are
becoming richer, and the poor poorer,
and shows that, so far as England is con-
.cerned, it has no foundation whatever.
He shows by actual figures that the
working and middle classes are rising
much more rapidly than the rich. He
makes three divisions: "The poor"
whose incomes are less than $3.50 a
year; the middle Glass;" whose in
comes run from $3.50 to $4,000, and
the "rich," whose incomes are above
$4,000 year. From 1850 to 1880 the
population of the United Kingdom in
creased from q 100000 to 100000.
All incomes below $3.50 year are ex-
empt from the income tax. Yet the in
come tax payers increased from 800, 900
in 1851 to 100000 in 1881, showing
an increase among the middle classes en-
tirely out of proportion to the increase
in population. This shows clearly that
the working classes had as whole
enormously increased their wage-earn-
ings. To put it in another form, while
the number of those who were receiving
less than $50 year prior to 1850 in.
creased but Is per cent, the number oil
those who were receiving more than
that increased more than 800 per cent
He next proceeds to show that in 1866
the aggregate incomes of the working
classes were more than the aggregate
income of all classes in 1900. The in
crease did not stop there. The aggre
gate incomes of the working classes il
1880 were more than the aggregate in
comes of all classes in 1860. He mex

sHEsMAN.s MEMOIRS.

This weeks and last weeks install
ments of Gen. Sherman's Memoirs deal
with particularly trying period of his
career. Memphis wealthy, populous
city, and leading commercial mart
had fallen into our hands. The Govern
ment of American cities by martial law
was something new in our history. There
were no precedents for absolute guidance
none that had anything more than re-
mote bearing. Gen. jackson had once
proclaimed martial law in New Orleans,
and had been fined 81, 900 by the courts
for interfering with their processes. Gen.
Scott had governed the City of Mexico,
but it was very different thing from
managing one of our own cities, filed
with people who wanted to enjoy all the
rights of free Americans, and yet be con-
sidered the subjects of hostile foreign
Government. Then there was the trout
blesome negro question, which all COM
manders were still handling very gin
gerly, since the Administration had no
declared policy, and was only going for
ward a step at time, as it had to.
Finally came the equally troublesome
cotton question, which offered such large
pecuniary inducements to corruption,
and was charged like torpedo with
possibilities of foreign complications as
we'll as domestic difficulties. 1t is won
derful that Sherman steered himself SC
successfully through the labyrinth Of
dangers.

FREE Silver Coinage is forever dead.
1t was based entirely on artful frauds
and misleading falsehoods. Its only
hope of success was in captivating peo-
pie before they examined or understood
the question. The moment they began
to look into it they saw its meretricious-
ness. The greatest mistake of the cam
paign was in not beginning the discus
sion earlier. Every day after it was
begun made terrible inroads on the Free
Silver forces, until toward the close there
remained mainly those who are always
determined to believe the wrong rather
than the right thing.
ONE of the best results of the election
was the utter overthrow Of Anarchist
Altgeld. The decent people of Illinois
were very sick OF him, and when they
got a chance they expressed their opinion
most crushingly. The cause Of good
Government has gained immensely.
