Col Carroll D. Wright, chief of the gov
eminent Bureau of Labor Statistics, has
made lifelong study of the labor ques-
ton and is an authority on every phase
of it, In an article in the current issue
of the Atlantic Monthly he discusses the
much-mooted question Are the Rich
Growing Richer and the Poor Poorer?'
The assertion has an ad captandum
sound and is we'll calculated to impress
those who are without information on the
subject or who do not give it much thought.
Col Wright says it is not true. He con-
tends that while the number of rich men
in the United States is undoubtedly in
creasing, as is natural in a prosperous
country, the relative number of poor men
is decreasing. He says everything goes to
show that the tendency in this country is
towards greater well-being all along the
line. He shows that the number of persons
engaged in the higher walks of business.
proprietors, wage earners, salaried men,
professional men, ETC., embraced 80 per
cent. of the entire population in $780, "a
per cent. in 1880 and sc per cent. in 1890.
This means that the relative number or
per cent. of persons engaged in the lowest
walks of business, as day laborers, ETC., is
decreasing. Concerning the wage question
Col Wright says:
Fortunately, we are not obliged to de-
pend upon the increase of rates of wages
to show that the ordinary man is better
off than at any former period in our his
tory, because our censuses report aggre-
gate earnings, and also the number of
persons among which the earnings are
divided Looking to this side of the
problem we find that in 1850 the average
annual earnings of each employee engaged
in manufacturing and mechanical pur-
suits, including men, women and children
in round numbers were $247; in 1860, $685.
in 1870, $302 in 1880, $347 and in $780, $445
Here is steady, positive increase in the
average earnings of the employees in our
great industrial pursuits.
These figures well the others go to
prove that while the rich may be growing
richer, most of the poor are also improv-
ing their condition. In other words, a large
majority of the American people are get
ting on financially. The farmers will be
considerably further along at the end of
this year than they were at the beginning

QUEER MOUNDS.
Two In the shape o. Animals Pound In
Wisconsin.

Wisconsin.
An interesting discovery OF two
mounds in the form of animals has been
made in Wisconsin, about two miles
from Winona. MINI. They are on the
side of a bluff. One is thought to have
been intended for a deer. Both are
about 21s feet above the surrounding
ground, and their outlines are very
plain. The dimensions of the deer
mound are: Tail, 26 feet; body, "a feet
long, 10 feet wide; neck, - fee'
long; antlers, 10 feet long, and about
feet spread; head, IS feet from
end of nose to antlers, 6 feet Z
inches from neck to foreleg, IS feet
long; hind leg, 10 feet inches loEg
and I feet 10 inches wide where the
body is Joined. The neck of the animal
extends exactly east and west, the head
being at the east end. The antlers and
nose extend in line directly north and
south, the nose pointing south.
Some so feet south of the first mound
is another, which takes the form of d
rat. The tail is very long, extending
considerably over 100 feet. The body is
about 25 feet long.
No pillow has ever marTed either Of
these mounds. and so distinct are they
that it seems curious they have never

The Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln,
March 4, 1861. was the opening of an
epoch. the turning of page in history.
Fer the first time a President-elect of the
United States was forced to seek the Cap
itol with people about him to guard him
from the violence of assassins, unherald-
ed and by night so that murderous de-
signs against him might be bafiled. Presi-
dent Buchanan got into the same carriage
with the President elect, and the two were
driven through the narrow lane left on
Pennsylvania avenue between pressing
lines of citizens. 1t was feared that an
attempt would be made to assnssinate
him on his way to the Capitol, and in ad-
dition TO the escort shaFpshooters were
posted on the buildings with orders to
shoot anyone who should draw weapon,
but no untoward events occurred.
The second Inauguration was under cir
cumstauces far different The United
States Government seemed no longer
threatened with dissolution, but the end of
the struggle was nearing. Lincoln was
looked upon as the savior of the country.
His address, as before. was one of courte-
