Iris e tunatod thataeve y two
American citizens are worth the colos
sal mm of 1,443 million dollars. This
is just 33 million dollars in nxcess of
the total money circulation of the United
States , according to the last Treasury
statement.

} Moral sentiment is slowly , perhapp ,
but nevertheless surely , growing in
America , which shall eventually close
the saloons , on Sunday at least , through
out the length and breadth of the best
country upon which the sun of heaven
has ever shone.
Any assumption of the prerogatives
of tho congressman , by Congressman
Laird's atttendant , ( not clerk , ) should
be met with emphatic action. Imper
tinence and presumption of such mag
nitude should be promptly squelched.
The second district is in distress enough
by reason of its congressman's illness * ,
without being subjected to the regime
of a ' 'chamber man. "
Chicago is having a hard time in se
curing the old Libby prison which , was
"
bought by a syndicate for the purpose
of being taken down , packed up and re
moved to that city and set up as a show
place. The building was duly disman
tled and loaded on to a train of cars and
started for its destination. Somewhere
in Kentucky the train collided with an
obstacle , went all to pieces and the
building material was scattered over a
large extent of right of way. The peo
ple resident in the vicinity are picking
up the bricks and fragments of timber
and carrying them home as relics.
Burrows the raan-afraid-of-his-
, - - - -
mortgages , after meditating two or three
months upon the handling the legisla
ture gave his report that there were
mortgages on Nebraska farms to the
amount of $150,000,000 , now comes
to the front with a declaration that Sen
ator Stewart of Nevada made nearly the
same report in a speech a year ago.
Doubtless Stewart had the same author
ity for his figures that Burrows has.
He guessed they were big , because he
he wanted to use the assertion for an
argument . for some fool theory of polit
ical economy. The statistics of the
guessers are always very amazing.
The Arkansas ballot box thieves have
been caught. There is no money in
the treasury of the United States court
to try them this term , so they say they
have been putunderbonds to the extent
of from $1,200 to $2,000 each , and
ma } ' be tried some time. There arc five
of them , and they are all leading citi
zens and highly respectable. According
to the democratic leaders in that state ,
they are the fellows who murdered Col.
Clayton. If they are , it would have
been : well to make the bonds a little
higher. Probably some of the gang did
the deed or hired it done , for it was be
cause ' the colonel was on their track that
they wanted him out of the way.
Here is the way Bob. Ingersoll puts
it : "Here is a shoe shop. One man
in the shop is always busy through the
day always industrious. In the even
ing he goes courting some nice sirl.
;
There are five other men in the shop
that don't do any such thing. They
spend . half of .their working evenings in
dissipation. ( The first young man by
and ; by cuts out these others and gets a
boot and shoe store of his own. Then
|
he ] marries the girl. Soon he is able to :
take ' his wife out riding of an evening.
The five laborers , his former compan
ions , who now see him indulging in tlrs
luxury , retire to their neighboring sa
loon and pass resolutions that there is
an eternal struggle between labor and
capital. "
Bev. Hugh O. Pentecost has been
preaching some doctrines not found in
the ; bible nor backed np by the facts of
of the . He is
history or present. report
ed to have said , among other similar
things , "that the laboring classes are
now entirely hopeless in the hands of
the Citpitalistic class. " This is sensa
tional and absurd ; a pessimistic view of
the situation. The fact is that the la
borer as a rule never received so much
as now for his work , never worked so
few hours as now , never could buy as
much of the necessaries of life for his
wages as now , and never was so inde- ,
pendent as at the present time. The
world is growing bettor , in spite of such
preachers , and along with the .general
improvements the condition of the labor
ing man improves. It isn' t what it
ought to be yet , but the tendency is in
the right direction.
The postal service of the United
States ought to be advanced to the
highest degree of efficiency before the
reduction to one cent for a letter is en
titled to serious consideration. The
country is constantly growing and the
accommodation of new settlements and
their connection with the rest of the '
world in a reasonably convenient way , (
calls for constant changes and exten- ' '
sions that involve increased outlay. (
That this government can maintain a ' '
postal service at two cents is a high '
compliment to the general intelligence
of the people , for only an incredible '
business would render it feasible at !
those figures to cover a territory so im
mense and a population so scattered.
The advantage of the reduction would
be small compared with the advantage
of a general increase in the number of i
mail deliveries in outking settlements •
extending over thousands of miles of
Border. The views of the postmaster ;
general on this question arc sound.
