New YORK, Dec 10-Speculstion at the

Thanks to the liberality Of our
citizens, the balance of the money
needed for painting the graveyard
fence has been subscribed. Fl. j.
Parker has contracted to do the
work; hence it is almost unneces-
sary to say, that the same will be
executed in workmanlike manner.
By all nations in every cline,
the "Silent Cities" are considered
the most hallowed spots of earth,
and to desecrate the same is looks
ed upon by many as the "unpar'
donable sin.' 1t is a violation of
the law to even pluck so small a
thing as violet within the sacred
confines Of graveyard inclosure.
But more serious depredations than
the cutting of flowers are said to
have been committed, and the
tender hearts of mothers, wives
and daughters have been sorely
wounded. Our good ladies, how
ever, possess forgiving natures, and
we think for this time, at least,
they will pardon what may have
been thoughtlessness in some cases,
and acc,dent in others.

find themselves in greater distress
than in times of war. In the midst
of plenty they find themselves in
famine. All these things are
caused by the concentration of
wealth in the hands of few. This
is the inevitable effect upon
country when it's laws manufact-
ure mi1lionaires.
But I would not say that all
millionaires are more selfish than
other men. They are no more sell
fish than men who want to be mill
ionaires. try to be millionaires and
fail of their purpose. But l will
say this to man who has made
his millions or inherited them, the
time has come to stop. The Peo-
pie now clearly see that million
aires make paupers; that paupers
make the wealth that makes the
millionaires. The people are now
demanding that which is rightfully
their own.
They toll patiently in the cotton
fields of the south, bearingits burn
ing sun. They reap the grain fields of
the west, enduring it's biting winds.
They brave the storm and the sea
in the rigging Of a thousand sails.
They heave the pick in the dark
ness of the mine to make our cheer
full fires. They tunnel the noun
tains and trestle the marsh for us
to glide smoothly over in Pull
man cars. They quarry the stones
and build the proud palaces of the
city, The result is they manufact-
ure millionaires and make them
selves paupers. The people are
learning that this is sorry book
