why uncle Sans Big Family viii Hence
forward Live In Peace.
There is no longer any danger of a
civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The
Atlantic. There was war between the
south and the rest of the nation because
their differences were removable in no
other way There was no prospect that
slavery, the root of those differences,
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess of growth. Itwas to be apprehended.
Oh the contrary, that the very processes
of growth would inevitably lead to the
extension of slavery and the perpetual
ton CT radical social and economic con-
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state, between region and region.
A heroic remedy was the only remedy.
Slavery being removed, the south is
now joined with the west-joined with
it in stage of development, as region
chiefly agricultural, without diversified
Industries, without multifarious trade,
WITHOUT those subtle extended nerves
which come with all round economic
development, and which make men
keenly sensible of the interests that link
the world together, as it were, into a
single community. But these are lines
of difference which will be effaced by
mere growth, which time will calmly
ignore. They make no boundaries for
armies to cross.
Tide water Virginia was thus sepa-
rated once from her own population
within the Allegheny valleys = held
&wo jealous sections within her own
limits. Massachusetts once knew the
sharp divergeaces of interest and design
which separated the coast settlements
upon the bay from the restless pioneers
who had taken up the free lands OF her
own western counties. North Carolina
was once a comfortable and Indifferent
"east'' to the uneasy ''west" that was
to become Tennessee. Virginia once
seemed old and effete to Kentucky.
The "great west' once lay upon the
Ohio, but has since disappeared there,
OVERLAND by the changes which have
carried the conditions of the least" to
the great lakes and beyond.
There has never yet been time in
our history when we were without an
least" and a 'west, but the novel day
when we shall be without them is now
in sight. As the country grows it will
inevitably grow homogeneous. Popula-
ton will not henceforth spread, but
compact, for there is no new land be-
tween the seas where the "west" can
find another lodgment. The conditions
which prevail in the ever widening
least will sooner or later cover the
continent, and we shall at last be one
people.

THE ARTISTS PRIVILEGE.
No Phase of Life Which the Realist Ma!
Not Touch.

No Phase of Life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.
In defense of his literary methods
Arthur Morrison, the English novelist,
writes in The New Review:
81 have been asked in print, if I
think that there is no phase of life
which the artist may not touch Most
certainly think this; more, I know it.
It is the artists privilege to seek his
material where he thinks we'll, and it
is no mans privilege to say him nay.
IF the community has left horrible
places and horrible lives before his
eyes, then the fault is that of the COM
munity, and to picture these places and
these lives becomes not merely his priv
ilege, but his duty. It was my fate to
encounter place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared in cir
cumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance of living decent lives,
where they We're born foredamned to a
criminal or semicriminal career. 1t
was my experience to learn the ways of
this place, to know it's inhabitants, to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
''For the existence of this place and
for the evils it engendered the COM
munity was responsible, and every
member of the community was and is
responsible in his degree. If had been
a rich man, might have attempted to
discharge my peculiar responsibility in
one way; if had been statesman. I
might have tried another. Being neither
of these things, but simple writer Of
fiction, endeavored to do my duty by
writing tale whereinsI hoped to bring
the condition Of this place within the
comprehension of others. There are
those who say I should have turned
away my eyes and passed by on, the
other side, on the very respectable
precedent of the priest and the Levite
in the parable. "

FIFE IN MIDDLEToWN.
The Burgess Cut Class Coinpany's Factory
 Gutted by Fire-New Haven Young Mans Loo Rrnfxa,,


 Middletown, July 6.-About 6:30 o'clock Monday evening smoke was seen issuing from the roof of the Bur gess Cut Glass company's factory at the foot of Court street
 The fire spread rapidly and was only checked by the vigorous efforts of the f1remen, who were, however, handicap ped by the smoke which poured from the windows in dense volumes. The fire started on the upper floor, where nearly all of the valuable imported stones used for cutting glass were stored. These were practically ruined The roof was of tin, which assisted in confining the fire to the interior of the building, but it retarded the work of the firemen. The roof finally caved in and then the fire was quickly got un- der control
 The lower part of the building was occupied by MT. Samuel Kirby, toy manufacturer, whose loss is about s2,- 900; insured Mir. Burgess loss is about SS000; partly covered by insurance. The building was owned by Charles Pelton and was insured for 8, 500, although that will not cover his loss The fac- tory was closed last Saturday for a few days. There had been no fire about the building for legitimate pur- poses, which leads to the belief that the building was set on fire.
 A young man from New Haven, who was visiting in this city, was assisting the firemen. He was knocked from a ladder by a stream of water and broke his right leg.
 The Cut Glass company will imme- diately rebuild or rent some other building

COURT ECHOES OF sAv1N ROCK.

SoCAl ICI1oES UT SA LIN 1lOCh.
 Thomas Muldoon and Michael Cody hired a team of Liveryman Galwey of 668 State street, this city, on Monday, and started for Savin Rock. There they so misused the animal that the attention of many persons was at- tracted, among them Officers Johnson and Crosby who noticed the abuse of the horse as they were leaving the town hall, the team being then in that vicin- ity. The men were very much intoxi- cated and paid no heed to warnings Yesterday they were penitent, however when upon the testimony of the officers Judge Samuel J. Bryant of the borough court of West Haven fined them SS and costs each. They paid their fines and left wiser men.
 Willis Taylor hbated too freely at Savin Rock at the celebration last Mon day and became too exuberant. He pleaded extenuating circumstances yes terday and Judge Bryant continued his case until next Saturday.
 Frank Marshall was fined for pulling down fences at the Rock. It was his first offence and he was let off with payment of costs.
