Eveniho Darns. , A Farce. By W. D. How
els, Public d by Harper and Brothers, New
York. 82 mo cloth, SO cW.
Mr. Howella in this amusing llttlp
comedy usee the tame principal charac
ters, the Roberts and Campbells, which
he employs in his "White Lies" and
"The AlbaD y De pot" farces. His object
in Evening Dress, as in -White Lies"
is to show up the shams and bondage,
the selfishness and lack of real friend
ship, to be f iund in "the upper circles'
of society. TbU object is incidentally
secured, while the story of perplexing
atiuntinna and caricatured human nature
,'is made irreri.iibly ridiculous and
laugh-provoking.

"La1 or is the source of all wealth and
all culture: to the workers, therefore,

say, "In modern society, we macninery

the possession of the capitalists, who
therebv have appropriated to tuem
aelves the fruits of thousands of years

that capitalists are the sole disposers
over the machinery of production, is
the source of political dependence, of
social inequality and of International

"IN Danbury, Ct, the striking hatters

beyond comparison.
The Enrllfh Parliament waa last
week forced to Introduce a bill author
izing the Indian go vert men t to borrow
$50,000,000 (gold) to meet maturing
obligations. The lituation in India
since closing the minta against silver
has become most critical; the rupee, in
consequence of mint closing, has de
clined In vale. and the payment of
gold obligations to England m de
preciated silver would entail a lose, the
Times saye, 'vo large aa would cause
serious financial embarrassment." So
the evil day is to be put off and made
worse by borrowing gold, and forcing
taxes on the people to pay interest on
the bonda which purchase It. u cursea
rulers!
"Inductions in wages are almost
universal." says The Economist. "The
characteristic of the present time is the
large number of working people who
are out of employment and sharp re
ductions in the compensation of tnose
who are engaged. How far this pro
cess will go nobrdy can tell, but it is
not to be expected that the percentage
of reduction la wages will be as great
as has been the decline in commodities."
Not so. The decline, so long as labor
is bought and sold as a commodity, will
be equal, except where labor organiza
tions resist tbe lowering of wages.
Join the People's party and help to
control it. People who object to Pop

Rocky Mountain News.
That'a all right. Brother Patterson.
If you can bring enough oBe-idea sliver
men into our party to send the million
"cranks and fanatics" whe voted for tbe
Omaha pWtform to the rear, the cake
s yours. But don't be disappointed if
you fail. It's an infinite task to head
off and turn around a million out and
out anti-monopolists.
Frauds of the most extensive and
flagrant kind, practised by the Demo
crats In the recent Virginia election
are coming to light, and even the
Democrat organs are appalled at th
dUclosed corruption. Tie Richmond
Times has begun preaching repentance
to the party. It is more than probable
that the Populist ticket was by an hon
est count elected. The Populists are
hotly pursuing their foes, and in the
next election will doub less send Gen.
Rosser to Congress.
THE defenders of the competitive
system have a few items of watte to

In tercet and Money.
The interest on one dollar for one
huudrrd years at one per cent., con.
nounded annually, amounts to two dol
lars and seventy-five cents; at three
per cent it will be nineteen aud a quar
ter dollars; at six per cent it wilt be
three hundred and forty dollars; at
twelve per cent it will be eighty-four
thousand dollars, and at twenty-four
per eent it will be over two billion fl e
hundred million dollars. This is n
ported from a table publUhed bv a Mr
Dean in the Arena of June. He gives
the case of one H. L- Case of Bristol
Centre, New Yori, who bojght a farm
in 1872 of 105 acres for fifteen thousand
dollar, paying two thousand fivu hun
dred dollars the first year and all in
terest. From that time on he has been
paying all he could. He is a most ex
cellent farmer and very successful. He
has paid ten thousand on the principal
and over fifteen thousand Interest, ytt
now owes five thousand dollars, and
owing to depreciation of land prices the
farm will not sell for the five thousand.
He cites this to show the effect of con
traction of currency, high interest, low
prices for products. We hope our read
ers who are interested in the gretit
question of the People v. Sbylock will
read the June number cf t.he Arena
By the way, it is a good sign when tte

We of the west know by practical
experience what we want. Tbe more
