For an illustration. a few corrupt govern ment officials. together with a syndicate of money-lenders, might accumulate several millions of wealth by issuing national bonds of a country and mortgaging without their con- sent the entire property of the people to secure their payment. but this corrupt accumulation of wealth would be scarcely regarded as an evil dence of the prosperity Of the people who would have to pay it. Quite the reverse.

n you were aware of the existence of this great outlying empire, including the rest of our Union, it would be difficult to decide whether you were recklessly ignorant or criminally reckless of it's interests
 The founders of our government wisely or dained that national census should be taken every ten years. For what purpose do you supposef Was it for mere funi Was it not that every intelligent voter and especially every government oflcial might learn what ef- feet upon national prosperity national policies were producing?
 Our constitution makes 1t by implication one cf the most important duties of the chief ex- Ocutive to study these census reports and to make such recommendations to the congress as his information derived from this and other sources may suggest.
 If you have not studied these census reports In regard to the effect of national policies upon national prosperity, you are recklessly ignorant and are unworthy of the exalted position to which confding people have elected you.
 If you have studied these reports and have oeen how startlingly the prediction of MT Car nsle has been verined, so far as the west and eouth are concerned, as well as certain classes of other sections, when he said February 2l, ys7e
 ''The conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legis- lation and otherwise from three-sevenths to one-half of the metallic money of the world is the most gigantic crime of this or any other aGe. The consummation of such Q scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilence and aamines that ever occurred in the history of the world" Then your reckless disre- gard of the rights and interests of upward of ten-elevenths of our Union is a crime-a crime against justice, a crime against humanity and treason to your country.
 am unwilling to believe that you are crimi- nal, but shall assume that you must be igno- rant Of the disclosures of the census reports and have therefore imposed upon myself the task of calling your attention to a few statis- tical facts which might we'll startle every thoughtful patriotic man in the United States
 shall also assume that you are sufficiently Informed to know that 1t Is an automatic truth of political economy that not the accumulation of wealth, but its proper distribution, is the true measure of the prosperity of people.

One of the firm (and he would mass as an expert of the first water) twitted the En- glishman upon his country's having an income tax, while our country could not have one. The Englishman replied: Yes, we make the wealth Of our country pay its taxes, while you make the poor pay them" (Alluding to the tarir taxes as well as the supreme court de- clslon.)

OUR NATION AND ITS DANGERS.
ur. c. E. Wilde at Second Parish Church

Mr.. C. e. Wilde at Second Parish Church.
Mr.. G. E. Wilde of New York, former
ly buyer with the great dry goods
house of A. T. Stewart & Co., and a
personal friend of Mr.. Seth Milliken,
formerly Of Portland, spoke to a large
and interested audience at Second Parish
church last evening on "Our Nation and
Its Dangers" Mr.. Wilde is a gentleman
with white hair and beard, q bright,
quick, Keen eye, and nervous organiza-
tion. He said he was loyal to the flag
from the crown of his head to the sole
of his foot, and all his hearers had no
doubt of it.
Mr.. Wilde made these points as the
chief dangers with which we were threat
ened. First, intemperanoe, but the eyes
of the country are directed toward
Maine, whose people flourish under a
wholesome restriction of the traffic. Seo-
ond, Sabbath dessoration; God forbid,
said he, that this country should ever
ha cursed with the continental Sum
day. Third, decay of home life. It is
in the sanctity and purity of the home
life our sons and daughters learn to
reverence the good and be fortified
against evil Fourth, loose divorce laws !;
fifth. Capitalization of capital; and as a
business man Mr.. Wilde was severe on
trusts which he believed were sapping
the nation. Sixth, the spirit of worldli-
ness that is growing up i'll the church
and must be discouraged. There were
other evils referred to. but these were
the principal ones. =.
Mr.. Wilde said the nation is not lack
ing in loyalty and he displayed plot ure
OF the new flag sent to him by the war
department with its 45th star for Utah.
That state, he said, had been knocking
at the door praying to be admitted to
the Union. but he thanked God she could
not get in until she had been stripped
of the crime Of Mormonism, aud the
| congregation applauded vigorously. He
declared there was as much loyalty In
the nation today as there was in the
cabin of the Mayfiower, and no red flag,
white flag or green flag should be per-
mitted to float anywhere for Old Glory
is good enough to float oyery school,
house in America, and the congregation
applauded again.

A FALSE ALARM.
A Report that the Imprisoned Miners We're
Heard, Disproved.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 5.-There is
just possibility that some of the men
entombed in the twin shaft at Pittstown
may be taken out alive. The rescuing
party who were at work from 10 last
night until this morning, on coming
to the surface reported to the mine fore
man that they heard rappings on the
rails Of the gangway road which may
have been caused by some entombed
men. The rappings were clear and DIS
tinct as If some one had struck the rail
with hard substance. 1t is supposed
signal was answered by the rescuers
in the same manner. After a short sill
! ence the answer came clear and distinct.
The sound seem to come 300 feet from
where the resouers were at work.
AT z tonight the resouers report in
their opinion that they are within 400
feet of the entOmbed men. Shifts have
been increased from 90 to 35 men. who
are relieved every half hour. They are
still cutting through rock and pro-
crossing more rapidly than at any time
heretofore. By order of General Superin-
tendent Law, several skilful men were
quietly sent into the shaft this after
noon to verify if possible the story of
the tapping. After prolonged efforts
and the use of every method of signall-
ing possible, they came back tonight
with report of failure, not the least
bit of noise indicating that their labor in
this direction had been successful S.zE ss

An Armed Force To Be Sent by British to
Demarara

Caracas, Venezuela, July At is re-
ported that an armed British force will
be sent from Demarara' to protect English
oolonists on the Gurnan and Cuyuni
rivers i'll Guiana, and to guard laborers
in the construction of the road to there
and the waters of tho Barima and Barama
rivers, the building of which was in
terrupted By the arrest of Mr.. Harrison,
British crown surveyor.
Senior Esequiel Rajas, minister of
foreign affairs, says that Venezuela will do
nothing further in relation to the deten-
tion of Mr.. Harrison. The minister in
timated, in fact, that it was hoped in
government circles that the incident
would servo as warning to the British
not to en oroach upon Venezuelan terri
tory. The affair Minister Rajas con-
sidered as closed. In answer to further
questions it was said that when England
should protest. a reply would be given
through Secretary Olney.
