Thomas Darlington Macaulay, states
man. historian, and essayist, wrote a
letter to an American. Mr.. Henry s.
Dandall, in 1857, from which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
Through such seasons the United
States will have to pass in the couse
of the next century, if not of this. How
will you pass through them? l heart
lily wish you good deliyerance; but my
reason and my wishes are at war, and
can not help foreboding the worst
1t is quite plain that your government
viii never be able to restrain a dis
tressed and discontented majority For
with you, the majoHity is the govern
ment, and has thes rich,' who are al
ways in the minority, absolutely at its
mercy. The day will come when. in
the state of New York, multitude of
people, none of whom has more than
half a breakfast, or expect to have
more than a breakfast, choose legis-
lature. 1t is possible to doubt what
sort of a legislature will be chosen?
On the one side is statesman preach
ing patience, respect for vested rights,
strict observance of public faith; on
the other is demagogue, ranting
about the tyranny of the capitalists
and usurers, and asking why anybody
should be permitted to drink cham
pagne and to ride in carriage while
thousands of honest folk are in want
of necessaries. Which of the two can
didates is likely to be perfered by a
workman who hears his children cry
for bread?
Il seriously apprehend you will, in
some such season of adversely as |
have described, do things that will pre-,
vent prosperity from returning; that
you vii act like people who should, in
season of scarcity, devour all the
seed-corn. and thus make next year
not one of scarcity, but of absolute
famine.
There will be, | fear. spoliation. The
spoliation will increase the distress.
The distress will produce fresh spoila-
tion. There is nothing to stop you.
Your constitution is all said and no
anchor. AS l said before, when So
ciety has entered on its downward
course. either civilization or liberty
must perish. Either some Caesar or
Napoleon will seize the reins of gov
ernment with a strong hand. or your
republic will be as fearfully plumber
ed and laid waste by harbarians in the
twentieth century as the Roman EN-
pire was in the fifth

BEAUTIFUL BALTIMORE.

When the city of Baltimore hangs
out the latch string to the convention
in June next, and extends to its guests
the glad hand" of greeting, they will
have the freedom Of community
which Nature has created for man to
beautify. They viii think of Balti-
more as the "ClCy Beautiful, as they
see the Place Mount Vernon, with
its bronze statuary, the American
Column Vendome-the pedestal on
which stands Washington sculptared
true to life No square in Paris. or any
European or American city, is as
ornate as this. And it's boundaries are
churches. massive libraries and state
" mansions that form an impressive
and artistic frame to this municipal
picture of art.
But apart from the public edilices
and the appropriately designed houses
of prayer which cluster about this
classic center of the city life, the pri-
vate residences which line Mount Yer
non Place are in themselves remark
able. Every one possesses a quaint,
peculiar and individual charm With
the exception of the Garrett Mansion,
which is a magnificent brown stone
palace. comparing favorably with the
most imposing ancestral homes to be
seen On yienna's Ringstrasse or Lon
don's Mayfair. these homes we're
built from fifty or sixty years ago and
they are pleasingly significant of the
cult and comfort and the appreciation
of the true dignity which obtained in
the Baltimore of those days together
with the total absence Of pretence and
strife after spectacular effect. In Mary
land, and particularly in Baltimore, the
word mansion" is used to designate
the home and the seat of family
whose members count for something
in the community at large.-Day Allen
Wiley, in Norman E. Maek's National
Monthly

talent, his years of study, or his good
luck. In printing machinery, and in
shoe machinery. and watch machinery,
is this conspicuously we'll known. The
most widely used of all appliances for
the benefit of .ankind are brought up
and are doled out for tribute purposes
by big Industrial companies. The in
ventor of a particular machine spends
20 years or more perfecting device
useful to mankind, dies impoverished,
and the ownership of the device is
transferred to a big company, which
proceeds to manufacture the machine
at cost of $500 each and sells the ma
chine for $4,000 each, or else leases
it to the user at a similar ratio of
profit.
Human ingenuity in perfecting ma
chimes which lesse nthe burdens of
life, which manufacture the necessi-
ties of life is stupendous. We are not
nearly appreciative enough for the
blessings which the inspirations of in
ventive men provide for us. And one
of the reasons we are not appreciative
is because somebody buys the idea
for few hundred dollars, and even
after operates this ownership not as a
machine to lessen our burdens, but as
a Beloved Cinch with which to extract
revenue from the public.
A high tariff wall and a rigid, go-as-
far-as-you-like patent law decision by
cinch straps and buckles wherewith to
the supreme court are two of the main
grid the public and ride it.
Certain students of the working of
patent law monopolies have said that
100000 for example would be ample
reward to any man for inventing a
machine to make shoes cheaper. They
state that as soon as the royalties on
this machine grind out from the public
this reward that the tribute-grinding
out to stop, and that the public should
then own the patent, or that there
should be no patent, that the right to
use the invention should be free to the
public
Quite reactionary from this idea, the
supreme court takes a step in the OPP
posite direction.
At the present time many men are
buying patents, and are dedicating
them to the public, a novel form of
philanthropy quite as far-reaching as
the giving of memorial windows or the
building of churches and public
libraries Eagle.

The Northern Pacific exhibit car
will be on the Katy tracks near the
depot all day tomorrow. This is said
to be the finest and best equipped
exhibit car in the world and it will
be worth seeing. A special invitation
is extended by the company to super
intendents, teachers and pupils of all
the schools. 1t is educational in the
highest degree as it gives everybody
a better conception of the wonderful
resources of the greatest country on
earth. Every business man in Vinita
