<AeitilAiC AiOIlllIy 1OI OClODer.
This campaign has taken a more danger
Gus form than any preceding one because
so direct and essentially dishonest an
appeal has been made to the envy of the
mass of men. A candidate for the presi-
dency has himself appealed directly to the
class feeling OF the dissatisfied. If our in
st1tutions are in danger from any quarter
II the democratic plan of government is to
fail at last, If we are to suffer the ancient
sorrows of other societies which it was
hoped we had outgrown, and if it shall
turn out that We are but going through
a cycle of old world experience and not
making progress at all-the blessings which
We have credited to institutions being
only the blessings of a vast domain and
of elbow room for a time-the most aIarno
ure must needs be the assertion of sharn
class distinctions in politics. The very
full man shudder
But if the time is ever to come who,
the poor and the rich to be perna

polls. it is not Yet come. for we have nor

Although it assumes the guise of the siI

TODD. Ii we roughly divide the DopuIa
ton into the poor, the well-to-do and the
rich, and could determine the numbers in
each class NJ any two given periods saw
IN 1876 and 1886, we should see that while
there has been a large absolute and small
comparative increase alike in the number
of the rich and in the number of the poor
there has been an enormous increase both
absolute and relative. in the numbe,. of The
well-to-do. Never since Industrial sooiafy
was organized has there been such a gen
eral rise from poverty to comfort as there
has been in the United States during the
last thirty years. There is no more fa!Ia-
cious doctrine than that the rich are be-
coming richer and the poor poorer The
truth is that the lift from poverty to
plenty has engaged thought that
we have come too near TO forgetting that
other things than material well-beng are
needful to make great people and we
are now paying one of the, penalties of this
forgetfulneSS.

WHAT HENRY CLEWS SAYS.
Henry Clews. the New York banker in

Confidence in a conservative result of the
November election still continues 10

money cause has become virtually Tore

and temper of the market are not such as
to produce any immediate speculative

to dealing with unfaVorabe conditions that
the spirit of hopefulneSs seems to have
lost all its elasticity. Now the current of
affairs. has taken complete turn towards
healthier conditions. 1t is no merely tram

deep into matters that are fundamental.

to leave the stage, when the new stage
carpenter. who had charge of the big
engine. prematurely started it. Of course
the property men in charge of the freight
cars not getting their proper cue were
left, and the train parted. By singular
coincidence, the actor and stage carpen-
ter had been in times gone by trainmen,
fact unknown to each other. Acting
upon the old impulse, the former gave
the proper signal 10 back, which was
promptly done by the stage carpenter.
The lines we're spoken the train pulled
out amidst tumult Of applause. Mana
ger Carter congratulated the actor for
the manner in which he saved the scene
and hereafter it has become part OF the
act.
