In his speech. at the opening Of the
Republican campaign in Maine, yes

@When Stephen A. Douglas declar

parties, patriots and traitors he won

imperishable place in history" 5:

he would have made use OF the same
words at the fall of the Republican

AN IMPENDING CALAMITY.

The following paragraph, credited
to the London Echo, shows how Eng
ishmen some of them. at least
regard the American outlook. Who
will dare to say, with the facts of to-
day before him, that the picture is
overdrawn:
The signs of the times indicate that
before the sun rises on January |.
1000, the great American nation will
groan and writhe in an agony Of revo-
luton, and the streets of her grea,
cities will be slippery with blood-a
hundred drops Of blood for each geu
that flashes on the necks of the rich
and pImpered women and ten drops
for every tear that has washed the face
of the poor. Politics is so rotten that
it stinks. Everybody knows it and
no one cares. America is no longer
republic. 1t is plutocracy. The
President is merely the creation of
bank directors, railroad king and
coal barons, and it is the same with
the Governors of the States. The
poor whine about their poverty and
gnaw their crusts Of bread, but can
always be relied upon to vote for the
rich, and nine-tenths of them would
shoulder their muskets and lay down
their lives III defense of the right of
the rich to rob them. A nation such
as this, in which one million pluto
Gratis tyrannize over sixty millions
slaves, will be either overthrown by a
foreign foe or die by gangrene. The
various labor organizations neither
think together. vote together, nor
work together, and theyhave no mon.
ey TO buy votes, lawyers and judges.
Soldiers and police shoot down labor
ing people and are cheered on in
their bloody work by monopGes and
the clergy. But the day will soon
come when there will be horrible
dance to death, lighted up by burning
houses, and the music of cries and
groans and dynamite and bombs.
Rich idlers amuse themselves at
Newport and Tuxedo; poor workers
toll ceaseless1y in the darkness of the
mine and din of the mill. Young
men and women dawdle over iced
champagne and oyster patties, old
men and women pick rotten food out
of garbage cans. Lap dogs are
driven through Central Park to take
the air; children die Of overwork in
filthy garrets. Piety in the White
House is enjoying the fruits OF brlb-
ery-intidelity in the tenement house
enduring the punishment Of unright-
eousness, These are the signs of the
times IN, America to-day--signs that
point to calamity too dreadful to i'm
agine bu. which nothing can avert.
