IAACAULEY'S PROPHECY
Fifty Years Ago ForetoId of
Present Conditions.
IN THE UNITED STATES
Future Is None Too Promising
According to Him.
TO the Ea gle:

TO the Eagle:
Very few people are acquainted with
the prophecy of Lord Macaulay, the his
torian of England, on the subject of the
American government. as. il. is not in
ciuded in anw of his published works.
This prophecy is in the form of letter.
written in 1857, and I attach a copy Of the
same.
Perhaps you viii find it of interest to
your readers, rs il indicated very clearly
what is happening in our politics at the
present time. This accords very well
with what President Lincoln says in his
second inaugural address, when he re-
marks that he forsees q greater danger
TO the American commonwealth, even
than the civil war
The danger referred to is the rise anu
Domination OF a great number of trusts
and commercial combinations, who viii
throttle legitimate competition, and &C
quire vast influence through the accumu-
lation Of fabulous wealth.
1t seems 10 me that it IS only a question
OF time until these powerful combina-
tective whole. viii be dominated by some
INSCRIPTIONS Napoleon. who viii be able
TO dictate the whole policy of the govern
ment and who viii, ~ some propitious
catastrophe, be able to seize the refns
OF government.
The discussion OF sucA subjects as these
are not actuated by q lack of patriotism,
but rather by an excess. as the intelligent
criticism of any government. BIT its citi-
zens, only tends to 4 betterment of that
government. Our government is so con-
Situated that the people themselves have
the pawer, if properly used. to change
ali Of the things, now threatening our
welfare, and every effort should be made
by the philosopher, ana thinker, TO direct
their attention 10 the present trend Of
events, and urge them to protect their
government and themselves, from the IN
due aseendeney OF such combinations
The various labor organizations have
already attempted to protect their men,
bers from the greed or such industrial
combinations as 1 have referred to. wi.
such success, that they have become also
a menace to law and order. and the great
mass of the public are now ground be-
tween two powerful factions, who have
succeeded in raising the cost of living to
q point where it already threatens hard
ship to them.
There appears TO me to be almost as
much danger to our Institutions from the
com binations of labor. as from those OF
capital, both Of which organizations seem
TO take the law into their own
hands. The evils of al of these things

The bracelet on the child's left wrist,
also of national design, is noticeable for
the ,filigree work which appears in all the
jewelry old enough to retain any national
characteristics. A number Of small de-
signs are linked together and a tiny clasp
Is hidden underneath, which fastens 1t
about the wrist. The filigree work on all
the jewelry was done in silver and then
washed In gold If the owner desired gold
ornament, for 1t is possible to form the
delicate lace work only in silver.
Among the pieces the travellers brought
hack with them are several extremely in

disk. The center Is filled with a similar
design, save the opening where the cloth
to be pinned with the chased gold pin
Is pulled thru. The pin does not fit into
any catch, but is held against the brooch
itself by the material thru which it passes.

In Norway the 18th of May is quite as
noisy and joyous a day as the Fourth Of
July Is In this country, but the custom
of wearing national costumes makes the
day there more picturesque. It Is fad
for girls of good families to don these
bright costumes, which were originally
worn In Hardanger but which were grad
ually adopted by the rest Of the country
and are now looked upon as the national
costume. The one shown in the illus
tration was made for this little girl, who
spent fifteen months there and in the
adjoining countries last year. with her
mother. They brought many pieces Of
antique Norwegian jewelry. rugs and
slumber robes, which are daily becoming
soarcer and In consequence more valuable.
English people who so frequently spend
the summer in Norway have purchased
many of these relics from those who lack
either money or an appreciation Of their
worth.

Words In the Night.


You have accounted for many facts,
not hitherto understood. But there is still
a very important one which neither your
self nor Miss futile has yet made plain.
There was a candle on the scene of crime;
it was out when this officer arrived here.
There was also one found burning in the
upstairs room, aside from the one. you
professedly used in your tour of inspection
there. Whence came those candles? And
did your wife blow out the one in the
library herself, previous to the shooting,
OF was it blown out afterwards and by
other lips?"
These are questions which, as I have
already said, I have no means of answer

which brought her here may have led her
to supply herself with light; and, hard as
it is to conceive, she may even have found
nerve to blow out the light before she lift
ed the pistol to her breast
The district attorney and the major
looked unconvnced, and the latter, turn
ing toward Miss futile, asked If she had
any remark to make on the subject.
But she could only repeat Mr.. j effrey' S
statement.

ICE CREAM VICTIM.
Warm Weather Brings Stomach
Complaints-Learn How to
Obtain Relief.

A most interesting and instructive ex-
perience is related by, MIR. Charles L. To-
gan, with offices in the Tribune building,
who represents number Of the best news
papers In the country, as their advertising
manager Any statement made by Mr..
Logan Is absolutely beyond question. To
use his own words, the following Is sub
mitted.: "a few nights ago my wife asked
me to get her some ice cream which
sent for. I ate considerable of it myself,
and 1t tasted good, but shortly after had
one Of the most intense cases Of acute in
digestion imaginable. This was unusual
and I had no remedy in the house. After
suffering very badly for half an hour. I re-
membered the suggestion of friend, and
jumping out of bed, clothed myself, went
to the drug store and bought bottle Of
Chase Dyspepsia Cure. Returning home
I took the regulation dose, and in fifteen
minutes 1 was sound asleep and subse-
quently woke up without sign Of storn-
ach trouble It Is a wonder in every re-
spect SO far as stomach troubles are con-
cerned." Mr.. LogaA's high standing in his
profession is a guarantee Of the very con-
sentative statements made. and it is an
actual fact that Chase's Dyspepsia Cure
Qiquid) is far, far superior to any prepar-
alton for stomach troubles ever before Of
fered to the public It is put up in LIQUID
form because that is the only way that
q medicine can be properly introduced into
the stomach which Is weakened by Dys-
pepsia or any of the coordinate troubles
which make it impossible to digest and
distribute food or any remedy which is
not already prepared for assimilation by
the system. The first dose gives immediate
relief and every bottle your druggist sells
you is under a positive guarantee Of re-
suits, or money refunded. Be sure and
