the early settlers of Kansas. having gone

was taken up by him when neighbors were

hardships of the civil war were all gone

POLITICS IN NEW YORK.

The most conflicting rumOrS OF the
political situation comes from New
York. We are told by some Of the
papers that the statesmen, factorymen,
longshOresmen, mOtormen, and all
kinds of men, save the money men,
have gone crazy on silver. A New
York capitalist Of large experience
and wide observation, told the editor
of the Eagle but the other day that a
second or sound money Democratic ma
tional ticket would give the Empire
state to Bryan. He declared that
Tammany would be for the Chicago
nominee, solid. with all its influence.
and that, if the sound money ele-
ments of the state failed to ignore the
tariff question and stand by Mckinley,
that the electoral vote of New York
would be found in the Popocat col
umn. But there are other estimates
and opinions. The New York Herald
has made a count through its cores
pondents, and says that in forty-nve
counties Of the state of New York, 49,
400 Democrats have already an
nounced that they will not support the
Chicago ticket, while the number OF
Republicans in the same counties who
have declared that they will not sup
port Mckinley is 5.167. The Utica
Press, an Independent newspaper. has
been prosecuting a similar inquiry
with like result. The Herald says:
1T is already apparent that the eff
fort to corral the farmers of New
York for Populism and reputation is
going to be disastrous failure" 1t
also published the proceedings Of a
meeting of workingmen in New York
City, at which speeches were made in
German and English, it being assert
ed by all Of them that the best inter-
ests of the workingman lay In the
maintenance of the gold standard, and
that the trouble was insufficient pro-
lection

JAMESON FOUND GUILTY.

DR.. Jameson, England's hero, the pet
of its laureate, and the god of London
Music hall ditty. has been led OFF to
fifteen months residence in an English
prison. The Imprisonment in his case,
as in the case of all the others, is with
out labor. but the English authorities
at once declare firmly that Jameson's
privileges in the prison will be no more
extended than those OF the common
inmates.
Jameson and his aristocratic friends
who are to be sent off TO Jail with
him, do not dread the prison life.
Their fear is that the result of the
trial means the surrender of their COM
missions in the army and their cashier
Ing.
At first glance, IL would seem that
Lord Russell. who delivered the SEN
tence and summing up and who forced
the verdict of guilty from the jury,
which was a trifle unwilling, II would
seem that Lord Russell was simply
carrying out mis- precepts Of old Eng
lish justice, which knew no fayorites
and punished all malefactors, high
and low, alike. Americans have been
instructed that English judges are
much more impartial than our own.
and the thought came strongly To
many Americans that Lord Russell
was simply passing just sentence
But there was probably an immense
amount Of diplomacy in the verdict
given against Jameson. Germany Is
still behind Dom Paul JameSon's

wood, the worlds labor force, applied
by improved methods, is sufficient to
much more than meet the worlds con-
sumption, and might easily be extend
ed to an unknown limit without ap-
probable increase of labor. The same,
Mr.. Tourgee says, Is true Of the manu-
facture Of clothing and the yield Of
ali substances that enter into it Inn
proved machinery has made it possible
to produce in five years more cloth
stuffs than the world can reasonably
consume in ten, without drawing on
the labor Of any other field of employ
ment. When it is also considered that
the volume Of productive labor has
been vastly swelled. both in numbers
and in the capacity of each individual
since Nautilus, it is not surprising that
his theory is no longer sound economic
truth. Up to the middle of the present
century, as Mr.. Tourgee observes,
large elements of the population OF
all great commercial nations /ere re-
strained by the traditions of society
from personally engaging in produc-
tive labor. The gentleman" could not
openly engage in the scramble for gain,
and women were restricted TO teaching
or domestic service. All that Is
changed now.
Mr.. Tourgee concludes his instruc-
tive article, which no doubt many will
pronounce pessimistic, with. the state
ment that the time has come when the
worlds possible production exceeds its
possible demand. He does not believe
that there can be any immediate ex-
tension of demand likely to lessen ma
terially the present inequality between
production and consumption. The only
logical remedy, he says, is the re-
striction of production. Two methods
have been suggested for effecting this.
First. that Of the trades unionists who
seek to secure the result by limiting
the hours of productive labor: second,
that of the socialistic theorists who
seek to limit the area of productive
labor by increasing the area of non
productive labor. that is simple labor,
as applied to the construction of roads
and other public works. Mr.. TOurgee's
opinion is that both these methods will
be employed in the solution OF the
problem.

STRAINED RELATIONS.

All is not lovely in Mr.. Cleveland's
official family. He has not been feel
irs very well himself since the Chi
cago convention, and when the Conse-
Grated One is out of sorts his associates
are quite likely TO be depressed in
spirits.
Just now the members of the cabinet
are for the most part anxiousiy await
ing to see what the fisherman at Gray
Gables will do. If he will rave and
storm and denounce the Chicago plat
form, they will feel at liberty TO howl
and tear things also. But even though
he inwardly condemns the cantanker-
GUS proceedings at Chicago, but says
nothing for publication, they will
hardly feel like saying much until
he gives them the tip.
There is one exception, for Secre-
tary Hoke Smith, with peculiar thrift
mess. has Topped his newspaper. The
Atlanta Journal, over TO the support
Of the Bryan ticket. Mr.. Smith has
VI iCCOiu as AOAtFtt
himself. But few years ago he was
bowling for free silver. When he saw
a chance TO get into the cabinet his
views underwent surprising change,
and it took but a short association
with Mr.. Cleveland to make him a
frantic advocate of sound money. A
few months ago Mr.. Smith stumped
the state of Georgia against free sill
vef. but his words met at every turn
the arguments and illustrations which
he had used but short time before in
favor OF free silver. Georgia has been
captured by the free silver people. and,
in order to be in the swim, Mr.. Smith
Topped his newspaper.
1t is rumored that there may be q
vacancy in the cabinet before long.
and that Hon. Hoke Smith will not
eat at the official table. 1t would be
rather unusual for president TO re-
tain as member of his cabinet q man
not in sympathy with the chief issue
of his administration, especially when
his newspaper was supporting the peO-
pie who had insulted his chief but
few weeks before.
