one complained that it would be sac

youth and vivacity beneath forty years.
The young star payed not the slightest

that she loses nothing by making her

her own daughter when she de-
scribes the dark stream which separates
girlhood from womanhood. She Is no

MACAULAY'S PROPHECY

Attention is called to prediction of
the English historian, Macaulay, writ
ten in 1857, and recalled now in con-
nection with the radical campaign in
New York. THE day will come, said
Macaulay in letter, when, in the
State of New York, multitude of peo-
pie, none of whom have had more than
half breakfast, or expect to have more.
than half dinner, will choose legis-
lature." The premises here are not fitted
to the situation. Never before was it SO
easy for an Industrious American to
earn enough to pay for an abundant
breakfast and dinner with a surplus for
other expenses and something for the
savings bank. This is year of great
harvests, and there is work at good
wages for every willing hand. Hard
times prevailed ten years ago. and even
then the public order was not seriously
disturbed, Macaulay pursued his fore
cast thus: is it possible to doubt what
kind of legislature will be chosen?
On one side is a stateman preaching
patience, respect for vested rights.
strict observance Of public faith. On
the other is a demagogue ranting about
the tyranny of capitalists and usurers
and asking why anybody should be
permitted to drink champagne and ride
in carr iage when thousands of honest
folk are n want of necessares. -
The pi cture is defective except as to
the demagogue, and he is multimil-
lionaire instead of ragged champion
of starving host. Macaulay asks
which of the two candidates is likely to
be preferred by workingman who
hears his children cry for more bread,
and continues his prophecy in these
words; Either some Cesar or Napo-
leon will seize the reins of government
with strong hand or your republic
will be as fearfully plundered and laid
waste by the barbarians in the twenti-
eth century as the Roman empire was
in the fifth, with this difference that
the Huns and Vandals who ravaged the
Roman empire came from without and
that your Huns and Vandals will have
been cngendered in your own country
and by your own institutions. " The New
York radicalism is causeloss and alb
surd compared with that pictured by
Macaulay. As to what it signifies, more
will be known the morning after the
election
