duction by the introductiO..
of labor-saving machines,
seems to have given an lmpe-
tus o the inclination to look
backward with a longing for
previous conditions. But Mr..
Macaulay has truly stated
that it is natural for us to
form a too favorable opinion
of the past. However, it is
not the disposition Of the In
man race to be satisfied with
their surroundings. In the
homes of the milliOnaires as
we'll as that of the peasants,
there is discontentment and
unrest. This is not only tue OF
the present generation, but
also of those that have gone
before. Perhaps to thi:
cause is due the CRANE
achievements of the last quar-
ter Of a century in the scien
tific and inventive spheres
At any rate, experience has
proven that perfect content

tainable.

THE PoPULIsTs.
The populist party is evidently
the same old BANKED fool it always
was and always will be. It is COM
posed or men who were born with
wheels in their heads and who are
constitutionally incaple of rational
view of things. They have a deep
scorn for possibilities and rooted
antipathy for the attainable. Like
the girl in the song, 'stheir sweet
heart is the man in the moon"
THE MENACE OF PoPULIsM.
Populism in its later nantes
tations is worse than vain and inco-
herent babbling of queer freaks and
low demagogues. 1t is an organi-
zed revolutionary force, distinctly
anafcnlStlc In Its tendencies, utter
ly violent and vicious in its teach
ings. No sensible, thoughtful, rea
soning man has any excuse for mis-
taking the nature and significance
of populism as it now is. 1t has
largely sought to ally itself with all
the turbulence, incendiary and vi
cious elements of society, and when
ever it has been in power it has al
most openly avowed its sympathy
with law breakers. The language
employed by its leaders is that o
the anarchist beer dens in the slum
of New York. The party indeed il
an organized menace to the peac,
of society, It's rule means socia

CARMACK'S EDITORIALS.
ANARCHIST ALTGELD.

eve have been wondering that
the loud yip-yap of the blatant an
archist, John P. Altgeld, was not
heard in the land. We could not
imagine what Altgeld was doing
with his mouth while the forces of
anarchy and violence he had done so
much to promote were holding their
carnival and celebrating their jubi-
lee within his blessed jurisdiction.
Perhaps Altgeld has been too full
of pleasurable emotion to wreak his
happy thought upon expression. AT
last, however, Altgeld has emerged.
He comes forth to protest against
the exercise of lawful authority in
putting down a violent and tumul-
tuous mob, and in performing a du-
ty that he, as governor of Illinois,
has failed and refused to do.
''He demands that the president
shall withdraw Federal troops from
Chicago in order that he may revel
undisturbed in the orgies of crime.
The letter of Altgeld to Cleveland
is piece of grotesque and dumb
founding impudence that will wan
der through history without COM
panion. While Altgeld, at
Springfield, declares that there is
no trouble of consequence at Chica-
60, Mayor Hopkins, at Chicago, is
confessing the impotence of local
authorities to prevent the obstruc-
tion of traffic, the destruction of
property and the assaulting of
peaceful citizens for attempting to
carry on their lawful business.
The conditions at Chicago, as Alt
geld very we'll knows, is one of
widespread and contiL uous resist
ance to lawful authority, a conspi-
racy to paralyze traffic by lawless
force on the part of the strikers and
weakness, cowardice and imbecility
on the part of the State authorities.
Federal assistance has been
invoked because Altgeid has not
tried to control the situation, and

In a recent letter to the manutac-
turers Mr.. w. F. Benjamin, editor
of the Spectator, Rushford, n. Y,
says: sit may be a pleasure to
you to know the high esteem in
which Chamberlain's medicines are
held by the people of your state,
where they must be known. An
aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter,
Iowa, was about to visit me a few
years since, and before leaving home
wrote me, asking if they were sold
here, stating if they were not she
would bring a quantity with her, as
she did not like to be without
them" The medicines referred to
are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cures of colds and
Group; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
rheumatism, lame back, pains N
the side and chest, and Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy for bowel complaints.
These medicines have been in con-
slant use for almost quarter of a
century. The people have learned
that they are articles of great worth
and merit, and unequaled by any
other. They are for sale by B. V.

THE readers of Macaulay's
history are doubtless struck
by the similarity OF the dis
position existing in England
at the time the book was
written to that manifested at
present by Americans. In the
first volume of his history of
England appears the follow
ing: at may at first sight
seem strange that society,
while certainly moving fore
ward with eagerspeed, should
be constantly looking back :
ward with tender regret.
But these two propensities,
inconsistent IS they may APP
pear, can easily be resolved
into the same principle. Both
spring from our impatience
of state in which we actually
are. That impotence, while
it stimulates us to surpass
preceding generations, dispo-
ses us to overrate their hap
piness. 1t is in some sense
unreasonable and ungrateful
in us to be constantly discOn-
tented with a condition that
is continually improving.
But, i'm truth, there is COM
slant improvement because
there is constant discomfort.
If we were perfectly satisfied
with the present, we should
cease to contrive to labor,
and save with a view to the
future. And it is natural
that, being dissatisfied with
the present, we should form
a too favorable estimate of
the past Although the
foregoing lines were penned
more than forty years ago
by the great English histo~
rian, his delineation of senti-
ment then entertained is true
of that of to-day. The in
crease in production and the
decrease in the cost Of pro-
