WISHING THEM DEFEAT.

The following is taken from a re- port of the Jefferson dinner proceed ings of the Single Tax club of New York last Thursday night:
 When the exercises were practically concluded, Frank Stephens of Phila- de,phia was called upon, and in reply MT Stephens made a bitter attack up- On the administration for it's course in the Philippines. In this all present showed that thsy were with the speak CT, and all applauded vigorously when he said, referring to our soldiers i'll the Philippines: I pray that the God or battles will bring them quick ana overwhelming defeat.
 Here was man, presumably a citi- zen of the United States, speaking un- der the protection of the stars and stripes and wishing defeat in battle to his own countrymen. And, what was worse, his sentiments were applaudcd by all who heard them. Who Is Mf Stephens? And who sat at the board with him and gave approval to such language?
 And yet what does it matter? How do these sentiments differ in essence from those uttered by men of national reputation, some holding offices anG

 In a growing ccuntry the methods and facilities in conducting business must grow with it. A business organ ized on a large scale is not necessarily a monopoly. It is oftener the reverse, a convenience to the masses and mOn- ey in their pockets The general ex- citement in Arkansas shows ncFw much destruction can be wrought by an ill., advised law conceived in the spirit of the demagogue who denOunces busi- ness organizations as a tyranny and all forms of wealth as a crime. Texas has injured it's standing by laws of a similar nature. The legislature Of Missouri shows strong signs of the taint The same tendency to meddle ignorantly and vindictively with le- gitimate business is noticed at Jeffer- son City.-St. Louis Giobe-Democrat.

Now an English company has ac- cepted American tenders for the con- struction of several locomotives. The directors assert that they will get quicker delivery, at a price $500 less an engine. With equal, and perhaps better, workmanship, as compared with the English tenders Heretofore speed of construction has been given as the reason for orders here, but slowly and reluctantly the English men are compelled to admit that the American engine makers beat their own at every point in 'the competition.

Bryan in his heart hope that Aguinaldo may drive the invader into the sea? Both know that the invader" IS not to D9 recalled by the president, and that the only way he may be disposed of is by defeat in battle. This man Stephens. with neither Office-holding nor office seeking to restrain him, simply speaks out plainly, where others Uverlay thei' sentiments With caution But all arc tarred with the same stick.

THE DREAM SHIP.

When the world is fast asleep, Along the midnight skies As though it were a wandering cloud The ghostly dream ship flies. An angel stands at the dream ships
 helm,
 An angel stands at the prov, And an angel stands at the dream
 ships side
 Wish rue-Wreath on her brow. The other angels. silver-crowned, Pilot and helmsman are, And the angel with the wreath of rue TOsseth the dreams afar. The dreams they fall on rich and poor; They fall on young and old; And some are dreams of poverty And some are dreams of gold. And some are dreams that thrill with
 joy,
 And some that melt to tears; Some are dreams of the dawn of love, And some of the old dead years. On rich and poor alike they fall, Alike on young and old. Bringing to slumbering earth their
 joys
 And sorrows manifold. The friendless youth in them shall do The deeds of mighty men, And dropping age shall feel the grace Of buoyant youth again. The king shall be a beggarman- The pauper be a king In that revenge of recompense The dream ship dreams do bring. So ever downward float the dreams That are for all and me. And there is never mortal man Can solve that mystery. But ever onward in it's course Along the haunted skies As though it were a cloud astray- The ghostly dream ship flies. Two angels with their silver crowns Pilot and helmsman are, And an angel with a wreath of rue Tosseth the dreams afar.

A notable feature of the improving business conditions throughout the country is the resumption of railway construction cn a large scale The Railway Age estimates the length of projected new lines in the United States at 4O,563 miles, and that 5000 miles will be constructed during the current year. Such improvement in the means of transportation would in volve an outlay of $15O,00O00O, and give a great push to development in nearly all other lines of industry.

FRANCE GIVES UP THE CONTEST

It would seem that at last Great Britain. With her dogged determina- ticn to excel in naval power any two of her Eurcl2san competitors, has tired out one of her rivals. It is note worthy that in the French naval pro- gramme for 1890 there is no provision for new battleships. Tn this respect, at leas'i, France begins to see the hopelessness of the building contest in which she has been engaged. It was plainly ridiculous fer France to keep up a rivalry in this regard with the greatest naval power in the world. Indianapolis News.

INJURIOUS TO A STATE.
Facts That Call Attention to Destruc- tive Tendency in State Legislation.

tive 'lSnQency ln state Legislation.
 Several things have happened lately. that direct public attention to dan gerous and destructive tendency in state legislation. In dealing with the subject of oppressive monopolies the mistake is made of warning against all business development in the larger sense. and against the economic ad- vances that have been going on in commerce and trade all through his tory. Legislatures that rush into these blind raids upon proper and nee essary business organization hit upon a quick plan to paralyze industry in their states and drive prosperity be- yond their borders. Modern business is complex fabric and new laws that derange it in one department may threw all out of balance. This has happened in Arkansas. The active men of the state, representatives or the state board of trade and of the people at large, have met in the largest business meeting ever held in Arkan- sas to protest against new law which, in the language of the resolutions passed, threatens to lead to the most widespread panic and depression the state has ever witnessed" The situ ation is pronounced alarming, and with good reason.
 Not long ago the Arkansas legis1a- ture passed crude and nasty laT aimed at pools and trusts. Its first practical effect is to strike down the whole insurance system of the state. The law has been construed co excluda all insurance companies that belong Jo an underwriters board CT rating bu reau in any other state. The 1egls- lature may not have intended to crush the existing insurance system and throw business into chaos, but such is the first result. Insurance is a form of capital. It replaces capital lost by fire, and broadens individual credit. The best prOcurab1e terms in insur- ance are no longer open to a citizeI' in Arkansas. A widely diffused busi- ness is driven away and those. engaged in it deprived of work that was bene- ficial to all The creGit of Arkansas is hurt throughout the UE-on, it's val ues dec eased and its general reputa- tion for business opportunities dam aged.

REACTIONARY FLOOD.

There can be liotIe question that thS country is on the verge of a radical turn in the disposition of what are called natural monopolies. The pub lie ownership idea is everywhere talk ing hold. Conservative influences have so long and successfully blocked the way of progress in this direction be- yond the public control of waterworlzs that there is danger that the flood may move too fast and violently once the dam does break down.-Springfs fsld Republican

A REsISTLEsS TIDE.

An anti-department store bill which has passed the Missouri house divides mercantile business into twenty-eigjlt groups, and each group into several classes, and provides for license fee of $500 for each group handled in ex- cess of one. Upon this basis a me.- chant handling all the groups would be compelled to pay SIS, 800 in license fees, and this might be increased to 5000 a year under another provision of the measure permitting muEicipali- ties to require a license for each class as we'll as for each group. This is sample of the kind of legislation which is now passing in epidemic form through many western states, having for it's object the crippling of all az gregations of capital. The Missouri legislature will find that 1t is storing up plaques for the future. The meth ods of the department stores are sorely trying to the small retailers every where; they have driven ma ny of the weaker business houses to the wall, and there is a bitter feeling against them that is finding expression in these efforts tcl use laws to deal them return blows. But it is as utterly useless to fight them in this radical way as it is to seek to prevent aggre- gations of capital for the erection of great buildings, gas and electric plants railroads and manufacturing indus tries. The prime object of the consOi- dation of many businesses under one capital and one roof is cheap buying through large and ready means and re- duced expenses in rent, taxes, instr ance, etc., in order to sell at the cheap est possible price. It is the identical object that caused the evolution from the hand to the factory system in manufacture; that changed the old hand method in farming to the culti- vation by machine of great areas of land. The world at large has i'm mensely benefited by it. Not a civil lized person on earth has failed to par take in the benefits It is easier to live, and the luxuries of one genera tion have been made the necessities of the next. The tendency of all trade is toward cheaper prices and cheaper prices can be had only through the application of large aggregations or capital. That misfortune comes to some through these economic changes is unfortunate but inevitable. The remedy for small dealers is not in apiteful laws, hal mful to the body polite, but in combination themselves Harsh as it sounds, the law of the sur yival of the fttest must apply to trade as to everything else. If large capital is not properly and fairly taxed It should be compelled to pay it's share toward the expenses of the commun- 1ty; if the small dealer is discr1mi- mated against he has justice on his side in a demand for equitable taxa tion. but he can never hope to better his condition permanently through prohibitive taxation. But the death kneIl of the small dealer is not yet sounded, by any means; he still has his clientage and his domain that tEe large dealer cannot break into. and he will be vastly better off if he culti- yates those instead of trying to stem a resistless tide of changing econo. mics.

GLArsToNE's STATUE DONE.
The Best Men orial Ever. Made Of the
 Great Statesman.

MT. Adams Acton, the well known sculptac, has just completed the clay mode. of a colossal statue Of the late MT Gladstone, and the people of Blackburn will soon be in possession of a marble memorial of the famous statesman, truer to life than anything hars-apart from photographic pie tures-which the skill of man has yet produced. MT. Acton has more than once had the honor of executing ccGn- missions for public authorities for statues and ibusts Of MT. Gladstone. Leeds has life-like bust of him in his latest years. Liverpool has a fine full length of him in an attitude Of repOse- ful dignity, representing him attired in the official robes which he wore o1
 great occasions when he held the office of chancellor of the eXchequer The Blackburn statue promises to excel them al in artistic merit and fidelity to life. In one particular, however, the artist has not been true to his subject. MT. Gladstone lacked a finger of the right hand. By an accI- dsnt he lost it. MT. Adams Acton has elected not to mutilate his subject, so he has given his model the full com plement of fingers. The statue will be eleven feet high.-St. James Gazette.

AWAY WITH THE OFFICE BOYS
New York Is Preparing to Fill Their
 Positions With Girls.

Positions With Girls.
 The office boy is likely to lose his 1 job A large examination room of the municipal civil service commissioners, at the top of the criminal court build- ing, was given over to the new girl'' i Friday. Its hundred desks were ocot- pied by that number of girls, between II and IS years of age, undergoing an inQuisition as to their fitness to be placed in the eligible list from which office girls in the municipal depart ments vii be drawn. Exactly 102 girls were seated-two being placed at the large desk on the examiners rostrum The desks are separated, so Shat there could not be any exchange of conf dences or information. Work began at 10 o'clock and consisted of dicta- ton. A section of the declaration Of independence was rapidly read to, the candidates. Slow dictation, word by word, followed. Five examples in ar ithmetjc were then given out, after which forty words were called off 10 the competitors to be properly spelled. A letter covering one page of fOOIScap was then asked for, the candidate be- ing expected to describe therein the progress of the examination up to that point. The percentages were scaled as follows: DictatiOn, 15; arithmetic, 20; handwriting, 30; spelling, 15, and letter, 20.
 The examination was entir,ly writ ten. and some of the girls finished their tasks by 1 o'clock; others F- mained until 4. They were an ambi- tf0us lot and regarded the post cf office girl as mere stepping stone to 6 junior clerkship a grade for which they will be eligible after two years service. That carries a salary of $50 month and leads through sen1or clerkshi2 to the fifth grade, with com pensation at $2,5O0 year.

THE FRENCH DEATH HELMET.
A New Method of Execution That
 Causes No Pain.

The French government has had for some months past in It's hands ma chine for executing the death sentence which causes no distortion of visage and produces no scar The machine has been named "l'EXecutioner" by it's inventor, M. Francois Esclangon, well known scientist and the ediior of the Monde Scientifque, and is in shape like a fourteenth century caVa- Hers helmet. From the tcp curves ;' long hollow bar of steel, dividing near it's end into two portions, which face two holes in the helmet near the upper portion. Below these eyeholes are also cut several breathing spaces. In the cavity of this bar are placed two cartridges, run OH grooves made in the curved bar and attached to long curved needles. Tn the helmet are two hcles fitted with discs, which car be made to revolve until they come op- pOsI-e the eyes of the victim. The apparatus is in communication with a battery on the table near by which causes the cartridges to revolve, and at the same time to plunge forward and bury themselves deep in the frontal lo6es Of the brain, destroying instantly large poItion of the white matter of the ce~ebrum.
