UPRISINGS IN EUROPE.
(From Baltimore American.)

Political mobs in Belgium are quite Il
matter OF course. but in Spain. if they
are not a novelty, the energy displayed
by them recently is novel. The mob in
Belgium usually restores the political
equilibrium. 1t answers pretty much
the same purpose as the revolution in
some States of Central and South,
America Whenever the South Amer-
cans desire n change of administration
they hoist flag on n pole and march
into the main street of the city If the
crowd becomes too formidable to be
overcome by military demonstration,
the ADMINISTRATION capitulates and the
outs take the place of the ms 1t is
often the only way of changing the adj
mnistration, because the ms have the
military. and can carry elections to suit
themselves.
In Belgium the Clerical party has a
body of representatives in the Legis-
lature utterly disproportionate to its
numbers. and refuses to extend the
franchise SO as to make the represent
tation popular. The bill which has Gre
ated such excitement and disorder, and
which may overthrow the monarchy.
proposed to continue this power indeii-
nitely TO the Clericals The King, after
preparing for flight. has yielded tempo
rarily to the demands of the people, but
the latter do not seem to be satisfied
They are probably tired of these oft
recurring battles for their rights, which
are always snatched from them as soon
as the excitement subsidies, and Leo
pold may yet have TO give them all they
demand or fly from their wrath.
In Spain the movement is the imme-
date outsrow;h of awakened intelfi-
gence. The Spanish people have been
asleep for century or more. Some OF
the ablest OF modern statesmen, notably
Lord Salisbury. believes that there is
no awakening for them. The same
opinion was entertained of the Italians
half a century ago, but, under the In
spring influence of unity and liberal
institutions. they have made remark

The necessity and public benefit Of
corporations are fully recognized; but
they are also a danger that may be-
come a great evil and injury: and
therefore they are to be excused only
on the plea of necessity or of some
public good-to which they must be
strictly held. The personal rights and
liberty of every individual citizen are

persons to oursue any business or en-

GUARD AGAINST CORPORATIONS

Corporations. instead of being allow
ed ard provided for by law, should be
utterly abolished and made unlawful
together with all trusts and combines
not specially authorized and limited by
law. If for no other reason, corpora
tions should be condemned and out
lawed because they are artificial per.
sons" and no government or commu.
nifty should tolerate within its bounds
any but natural persons. subject to the
laws of nature as well as the laws of
man. and acting under future and
spirii.ial responsibility rs well as pres
ent and material accountability.
Many obvious reasons fortify all we
suggest; but the principal objection to
corporations is that, in practice, they

A traveller remarks on a certain
species of the baboon lie saw in Afri-

Sravity and prodigious haughtiness,
were SO exaggerated and blended in one
universe subduing and appalling
glance. that he was so overcome by the
stupendous righteousness of it that he
startled all the wlds of the Dark Con-
tinent by series OF outlaws that
should have disturbed even his ba-
boon's equanimity. but which only in
creased the overwhelming effect of his
demeanor and regard-it far surprising
all the achievements of art in comic
caricature and all of natures attempts
in the same line heretofore seen by
mortal man.
The traveller may be right. and we
invariably think of that baboon when
ever some official or parsonage, with
an awful sense OF his personality and
dignity confront us. 1t is so exqusitely
absurd for q creature that would evil

EQUALITY WITH MAJORITY.

Gollwin Smith speaks of 1.-The false
theory Of American equality" AS de-
clared by Jefferson in our Declaration
of Independence, this theory is self
evident" but 1t is admittedly false in
several of it's Neutrality-suspicious. or
course. If that equality means that a
man feet high is equally tall with a
man feet in stature: or that a man
weighing $50 pounds is equally heavy az
one weighing 200 pounds; or that a
man 40 years old is equally old with one
who has attained his Goth year; and so
on.-of course that theory of equality.
instead of being sef-evIdently true. is
self-evidently false. But Jefferson, be-
ing no idiot. and n man having some
discourse of reason, did not mean that
nonsensical muck-sQuash.
By what rule are we to separate men
into governing and governed? Height.
weight, age, strength. wealth. or color
Of the hair? If not. why not? And if
n mental or moral test or qualification
be fixed. who shall fix it. first? and.
next. who shall enforce and Judge It?
These and other practical considera-
lions Overlooked by many Smiths) re-
duce rational men to n choice between
fraud, force. or equality and IL majority.
Honest men should have no difficulty of
choice.

Jefferson died poor. and he is de-
spised. of course, by the lovers oil
money. What little respect still sur
wives for Washington is due entirely t.
the fact that he was n millionaire, il
not the sole American millionaire at his
death.
When n man dies under this regime
of abomination and swinishness. he and
his family are rated strictly by the
amount of swag he left, though he got
it by robbing public charities.

CHARACTER AND STANDING.

Character is the principal thing. But
what Is character7 1t is multifarlous
in many respects: varies with the mali
himself, his circumstances, his business
and 1.-The point OF view" the chief
constituent OF character is always in
tegrlty that which wins and retains
confidence and makes a man what is
called reliable" Integrity itself
though strictly "onc" in its consistency
and unity. combines honesty. courage,
capacity, punctuality and ilrmness. a
farmer may be proficient in his call
ing; n lawyer learned In his profession
a merchant, successful in his business,
a mechanic, master of his trade: and
SO on: but some defect in character
may deny him the chief desideratum
the res1ect and esteem OF his public.
MAN does not live by bread alone
and in some vacations. no amount Of
bread will compensate for the essentials
1t should furnish, and without which,
in the end, 1t will fail to supply even
bread. There Is a certain standing" to
be established and upheld which can
not exist on any degree OF experiences
in mere business: and in truth, though
success is necessary to enable any
enterprise to live, there are some in
which that Is utterly impossible with.
out 1.-THE standing" he first won and
assured A business" or enterprise
also requires the standing" acquired
by character" and no skill will serve
1t from failure IL it lack this stand
ing" This standing too may equally
depend on more than one department or
portion Of tif1r ENTERPRISE. and-it is
neither just nor profitable to ascribe
either to one or another, where all do
their best to the common end. 1t is like
tho tabled quarrel between the diges.
tive apparatus. or working members of
the body. and the head or intellectual
organs. as to their respective labors and
deserts. when all are INDISPENSABLE to
the common honor respect and success.
But character and the standing which
II gives are necessary 10 all men and
their enterprises. Seek these first iii
every business; and. having these, all
things will be added Young men and
young enterprises must recollect this;
and no success should lead to ignoring
or undertaking of standing in public
regard and estimation.

AUTOMOBILE MAIL COLLECTORS.


One Very practical use of automobiles
has been made at Buffalo for collecting
mail. Mall from forty boxes In a terri
tory six miles in length was gathered
In less than half the times it takes a
man in a, mail cart to do the work. AS
the expense OF operating an automobile
is the cost of the gasoline--a small
quantity per hour-and the ordinary
wear and tear of the vehicle. the saving
is greater than If horse were used
buffalo is one OF the best paved cities
In the Union of its size. There are many
miles as asphalt. and on this surface
an automobile, of course, makes good
time The use OF these vehicles will
have one very important effect in cities
less fortunate than Buffalo-it will
compel the laying of good pavements
The people will find that. it will cost
less In repairs where vehicles that do
little or no damage to pavemcnts are
used. Their adoption will operate as
benefit to taxpayers, to the owners of
the vehicles and to the public in gem
eral, in the way of cleaner streets. The
future Tor the automobile looks bright

They deservea generous support and are
