Will History Repeat Itself?

From the New York World.
No President has been reelected since
Grant-that Is, in Is years.
No President has been renominated since
Grant except Harrison and Cleveland, and
both were defeated for second continuous
term-that is, no President since Grant
has had second continuous term.
In 1888 Cleveland seemed to be absolutely
sure of reelection, but he was defeated.
In 1892 Harrison seemed to be sure of re-
election, but he was defeated.

Fare High, Time Slow
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
One of the most remarkable railroads In
the United States is that which runs from
Fabyan, at the foot of Mount Washington,
to the summit, a distance of sSs miles.
The time required in making the ascent Is
one and one-half hours, which is at the
rate of a mile in 81 minutes. The descent is
made in the same time. The fare Is $4 for
the round trip, or at the rate of 60 cents
a mile. No other road In the world charges
quite so much, and few rum trains at
speed quite SO slow. About 1000 passengers
are carried annually.

MEN The CHEAPEST.
Animal Hire in Russia Exceeds That
Paid for Human Labor.

Animal Hire in Russia Exceeds mat
Paid for Human Labor.
In Russia the wages of a horse are
higher than those of Il man, and hence,
of course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, in the Nishni-
VOlga section, we find the average pay
of man and horse to be about - cents
per day; of man alone, "a cents; that IS,
3S cents for horse, and "a cents for
man. The women receive from 10 to
20 cents. In the central agricultural
region the average is: Horse, 23 cents;
man, 20 cents; woman, ID cents In the
southern steppe: Horse, 36 cents; man,
- cents; woman, 16 cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agri-
cultural labOrers. Its meaning is sim
ply that human beings are cheaper than
draught animals. In other words, it
costs less to keep them alive. In the
southern steppe five women can be en-
ployed more cheaply than two horses.
Is it difficult to imagine the condition
of home life, the dearth of refining liz
huences, the sOdden, hopeless stagna-
ton that such state of affairs reflects
Is it any wonder that the products Of
such a wage status as this are individ-
! ual degradation, social 'barrenness,
meager education, political despotism,
religious intolerance, and. generally, a
type of civilization scarcely above bar
barianism?
