like that bring a sigh of
grief and a blush of modification to
every true American who carries in
his bosom the lofty spirit of independ-
ence, the unspoilt simplicity of life
and hammer and the true pride of
personal worth, which should charac-
terize the men and women OF a demo-
cratic republic, the f~airest, the freest,
the grandest the world has ever seen.
This young lady belongs to enc of the
Weaitliiest n most prominent fami-
lies in the social circles of New York.
Her mother, who was the second wife
of Mr.. Campbell, seems to be one of
those ladies who, possessing, it may
be, many attractions and virtues, yet
have the to cOvet a resi-
dence in the great capitals of the Did
world. Accordingly, she has for the
two past years resided with her
daughter at Rome; and there this ac-
complished American girl, her head
turned to European preferences by her
mothers prediction for a residence
in Europe, rather than in her native
land, has given her hand, along with

the charge of Communism" cOnfisca-
ton" and similar expressions. hurled
against them by the friends and agents
of corporate power. The whole basis
of the cause of this popular agitation
is either Willfully ~misrepreSented or is
imperfectly understood. 1t was never
true in Texas, for instance. that there
was any disposition to pursue, de-
nounce or handicap any element of
the citizenship of the state simply be-
cause they seek to control and manage
their own property" Nor is this pos
sibly the case in Florida or any other
southern or western state. 1t is a spe-
cious plea in behalf of the great COM
binations Of capital that they should
be permitted to manage their own af-
fairs" The trouble is that the people
have "affairs' also that demand man
agement, and that certain elements of
citizenship" imagine are of no compar-
ative consequence. Popular agitation
for popular rights is referred to always
as revolutionary, if the securing of such
rights would have the ffecet of depriv-
ing privileged classes of any special
profits or immunities to which they are
not in common justice entitled.-HoUs-

Racing Without Sulk or Driver.

Medford, Mass, July 6.-At Combina-
ton park this afternoon Martin Mills,
the wonderful guideless PAGER, lowered
her record Of 2:O1A, mad last year. to
2:05A. The little mare bowled around
the track without driver or sulky, and
few who saw her realized that she was
making such good time, The track
record at Combination, which is a half
mile track, is 2:04R and il is thought
that the mare may break even his
record before the week is over.
