Mr.. ChandIer,s Discovery-Tbs Hon

MIR. Chandier's Discovery.-The Hon.
William Eaton Chandler has startled the
quiet citizens of New Hampshire with
the discovery that the Hon William A.
Clark of Montana wickedly is conspiring
with the hosts of the devil - debauch the
voters OF the Granite State. Senator
Chandler AYERS that Mr.. Clark is going 10
pour money by the tens of thousands into
the State to help elect th.s candidate of
the Boston and Maine Railroad to the
Senate The reason of this, according TO
the veracious Senator. Is that he kept
Clark out of the United States Senate last
winter. by reporting against him through
the Committee on Privileges and EIec-
lions. Mr.. Chandler tells the simple New
Hampshire folks that Clark has an in
come of ten million dollars, and that one
hundred thousand Of this is TO be distrib-
uted among them. There are nearly Co.
600 Republican voters in New Hampshire,
and it is not believed that rate of less
than 50 per capita will accomplish much
against Senator Chandler.

they can spend, and by little calculation
centage of the poor people OF this land are
in precisely that condition, and still they
live and work and enjoy themselves to a
limited extent. This is true not only of
the foreign born Iaborers-Italians, Poles,
and ether recently- migrated peasants
of native Americans OF course, the If
teen cents is at its minimum of purchas-
ing power in city. There is no place to
keep eatables in a tenement, and no chance
to buy food in bulk. Most people live
from hand to mouth
In the country it is different. There we
do net find men being paid off On Saturday
night and penniless by the next Saturday.
They do not spend even penny recklessly,
and some of them manage to live very
snusiy on phenomenally small incomes.
Anyone who makes a tour through the
country districts of New England will
find clergymen living on salaries rang
Ing from four hundred to six hundred
dollars, which are made to support at
least three four people. sometimes
more; and the clergyman generally con-
trives to lay up money and buy a few
books. The amount contributed IN do
nation parties is usually balanced by ar
rears OF salary; and while the country
man has a certain advantage in being able
to raise his own vegetables, he has the
disadvantage of not being able to secure
good bargains in dry goods and other
things al the small country stores.
There is no question in the world that
millions of people in this country do live
on fifteen cents a day for table expenses,
and that they will continue so to do. They
belong to the uneonsidereG remnant OF
which cultivated people are apt to speak
as if it had no feelings or wants worth
mentioning. The question now is whether
more and more of our population are to be
reduced to a proletariat which cannot
afford to take ice, has TO economize on
butter. and practically does without milk
except for children. II the trusts keep en-
squeezing and the syndicates keep on sys-
tenatizing it may come to that. Before
the civil war great deal OF work was
done in the South on corn-meal and bacon,
and not much of it. That would be even
cheaper than fifteen cents a day.

Terror in New Hampshire.

The heavy work and responsibilities of
the late session seem to have injuriousIy
affected Senator Chambers nerves-or
those OF his organ at any rate. The Con
cord Monitor" which represents his in
terests and aspirations, has uttered a
piercing editorial shrek TO the effect that
Senator Clark of Montana is coming into
the New Hampshire campaign prepared to
spend a hundred thousand dollars to keep
Chandler from getting another term.
The Eastern statesman no doubt knows
what he would do We're the positions of
himself and Mr.. Clark reversed. and pos
sibly he may believe what his Monitor
says on the subject: but very few other
peonle Will Il is quite conceivable that
Mr. Clark may regard one who pursued
him with conspicuous vindictiveness in
trying circumstances with anything but
sentiments of affection. But We do not

inclination 10 throw away a tenth of a
million dollars to satisfy q mere personal
feeling On the contrary. it is quite gen

They will never see it, but their grief and
