INTELLIGENT MEN.
Among the assembly there were two or
three people who swallowed the doctrines
OF the Chicago platform. They came
for rie purpose of gratifying their de-
s.rcs 20 ridiculo afterwards the small au-
dleuce they expected TO find, and the
things said and done during the evening.

hundreds of faces bright with intelligence

the monetary question looked zap into the
Chairmans eyes. and gave close atten-
ton 90 everything that was said. These
were the representative workinsmen OF
the city-cicrks. mechanics, carpenters.
plumbers and men from nearly all the
fields of labor. Besides them were mer-
chants representing tho various lines OF
business Boa the city. tobacco men, manu-
facurers. railroad men, lawyers. physi-
clans and. in fact wcll-known citizens
from au stages of business and profes-
fional life. a noticeable feature or the
gathering was that no particular class
was prevalent. There was large vari-
etv Of interests represented. The abb
seu.e of that class of individuals known
as ward bummcrs and political heelers
was not TO be overlooked. Indeed. those
present were not the petty politicians VINO
c0ncrcgate at such times and buttonhole
their fcllOW-mcu in the interests OF little
blunt axes they have TO grind. On tho
contrary. there were few politicians pres
ent. and. in fact. none who could be
strictly classified under the category OF
political aspir8nts. The meeting was a
gathering of conservative, intelligent,
weli-hchavcd business men. anxious 10

and agriculture in America. There was
no hoistcrous demonstration, no yelling

there is annually expended in New York
the colossal sum of $1S5,O0 or about
$50 per capita.
The unit of comparison is the figure
representing the total population, or the
embodiment of $3,5O0,0O0.. Accepting
the argument of the prohibitionist that
all manner of malt, vinous and spurious
beverages are Injuries pure and simple,
it would appear that total of 100000
000is spent on the beverages that cheer and
also inebriate. OF this total, $30,000,000
is paid for lager beer by New Workers
every year. They spend annually $6,000,-
900 for theaters; $15,O00,O00 for horses
and carriages; s3,5o0,OoO for flowers; ST.

A SHOCKING SHOWING.

The number of applications for charity
in New York by able-bodied men WIG are
willing to work is said to be greater than
ever before known in the history of that
city. That ut is charity, starvation or
crime for them" as said by an agent of a
New York charity organization, certainly
betrays condition anything but fatter-
ing for alleged advance agents of pros
perity."-Springer Stockman.
True, and yet New York boasts of be-
ing the richest city In the world; it is
over-rich and luxury loving. If the ag-
gregate wealth of the greater New York
were divided pro rata am ong its 100000
bitants, the share of each would be
about $500. This is the largest per
capita Of wealth shown in any CITY in the
world. Richest of all cities, 1t is the
most Injurious as we'll. In the items of
wine, beer and spirits, cigars and tobacco
in various forms, theater patronage,
pleasure vehicles and fine horses, cut
flowers and ornamental plants, European
travel, diamonds, jewelry and bicycles,
