' When the wealthy are tin patrons of those social leforms that olevuli society , then they will receive the benedic tlons of the poor.

Thi rfpht has Its origin In u prior fact , that caol human twine is a distinct individuality adapted to all the purposes of self-govern incut nnd tesponslbfo to God and tosociet ; for the milliner in which his powers are on : ployed. By his physical nature ho is coi : nected w 1th the unirorso which Is modiile to supply his wants. Ho Is so created thn ho Is dependent on the air , the sunshine , an the products of the soil for the continuanc of his HTo , and that end is attained as ho put foith his natural powers and extracts froi the universe that on which ho can subsist Ho bus a right to use his body as howil ! provided such use Is not an interference wit tbo equal rights of his follow men. Possess ing an Intellect , helms n right to thn product thereof.

Kudowcd with a soul c sensibilities , passions , and aspirations , helm the inheri'nt light to seek happiness , nlxvay recognizing a common right in each of hi fellow creatures. Uy this physical , Intelle ( tual , and spiritual ondoVviilCUtlUQii is mud for sp.cuSuit each individual in tus socii capacity ts bound to every other indivldui by the law of icciprocity. If , by the constlti vtoa of nntme , u man has a right by himsol ho has ulso Cfmal right to that which may n suit from the innccent use of his bodily an mental powers. TUo result is what men ca nioportv. In allfvell-regulntod society every man 1 accorded the right to possess that which li has nmilo , and the power of control over U tmmu. Ho has not only the right , to u plot of gold by discovery , or purchase , or labo but , when ho fashions the same into a work ( art. Ids right Is increased by virtue of h skill. Around this sacred right divine an human lavs throw their uultil sanction "Thou shall no steal" is the command i lilsli Heaven. The Creator treats this rigl as a self-evident fact , directs his mandati agidnstoveryact , vlolativo of the snmo an against tlio temper of mind from which sue violations proceed. In harmony therowll human governments among their first ac protect this Individual right , nnd treat tl offender thereof as guilty of a wrong , at punish him accordingly.

Tl question involves the distinction botwee the savagery of tlio barbarian nnd the rolln wonts and comforts of civilized life , nation of thloves would bo a nation of bn barlans , There is no prejudice against honorab and benevolent wealth. The war of todi apalust capital is against the aristocracy riches , nndvboro wealth is hoarded and n preprinted fur personal Kriitlilcntlon nt grandeur , or hold for the love of the powi that issues therofrom. It is this selllshness of the nflluont tin nwukcns the wrath of tbo poor of the hibo ing classes. Nor is thcro violent opposltk to fortunes speedily acquired , but public dl pleasure is aroused against the man of woali who manipulates the market for his own be cflt , and is Indifferent to the bankruptcy i hundreds and thousands whoso acquire fortunes are uicrllled by his heartless sto ( gambling.

What a sad history is connected with the Ives of McICeo Hunkia nnd his pretty wife , Citty Hlanchnrd. It was quite a half dozen ears ago , when Hiuikin was playing on the 'acille coast , that u young actress joined the ompany Mabel Bert by natno. Talented uid ptotty , It was not long before the star icgan payinf , moro than ordinary attention 0 the newcomer , who had been engaged for ngenuo parts. Kitty Blanchard , for the sake of her twc daughters , saw the growing affection between ler husband and the California actress , with lenrtacho and fear , but , not until the season vns nearly ended did she raho her voice in irotcst. Then it was too lato. The silken chains had icon wound lee tightly around Nankin's icart mid there was nothing loft for Airs , { aukln to do but sue for support from the father of her pretty little ones. So things went on. the breach between hus band and wlfo growing wider with the j ears , From an inguuuo Miss Uort rose to leading msiness and tlio parts made memorable by he ability of the little woman whom old theater goer.s recall with pleasure , wort ) luycd by the young California ! ! who had succeeded to the place of the deserted wife. But as disaster followed disaster when Na- wleou deserted Josephineso , failure followed failure when AleKco Hnnkin re louuced his wife , and until 'The Canuck" was produced success was an unknown word to ono of the best nctors ol the modern romantic school. And this suc cess may bo chargeable to a change of hoarl upon Unnkln's part , for I will not bo sur insod to see Kitty Ulanclmrd'b nntno in tht Jill next season , and Mabel Hort's place taker > y some other woman , who will show a little inorq appreciation for Iho equities thatshouli exist between uiau and wile.
