Political Prophecy.
President Cleveland not beine avail
able, because of having had two presi
dential terms of office, the olum lies
between Chairman Wilson, the radical
tariff reformer, and Secretary Carlisle,
the conservative reformer, so far as
the Democratic outlook is concerned.
As for Republican aspirants, there's
1 1 .. T . 1 1 . mm I
ns 01 inera; dui ex-rresiaent Harri
son and ex-Speaker Reed are to our
mind the most likely men in the party.
The diguifieJ tenor of Mr. Reed's
recent deliverance shows hiru to be in
training in his own mind, at least, and
he is not without a host of enthusi
astic admirers who would be pleased
to find in him another plumed knight
from Maine. Like Blaine and Greely,
however, political fate may have de
creed that he, too, shall die heart
broken, sighing out in his distress and
burning grief over the lost Presidency,
" thou art so near and yet so far."
Hard Times
Yes, they are hard, indeed, with the
ocdioi class, Dut they are correspond
ingly easv with the creditor class. The
distress and imnoverishment of the
former is generally taken advantage of
ior tne enrichment of the latter. As
the big fish feed upon all the little
ones tney can catch in the ocean, so
the continental forces are too apt to
opeiate. They opeiate through the
aid of all the legislation they can se
cure and then swallow down the
small fry wl libitum. The trick is to
continue to corner the small fry suc
cessfully, in a government where the
majority rules. The whale depends
more upon striking a compact school
of small fish than upon his agility to
capture the single smelt or herring.
Were the smelts and herring not to
travel in schools and thus swim right
into the open mouth and rnaw of the
indolent and luxuriant whale, this ter
ror of the ocean would soon get hun
gry for fish, and his slashing about
would only make his game the more
difficult to capture. So it is with the
little fish on land. They must be on
the alert and change their tactics and
politics occasionally if they hope for
smooth sailing and good government.
Several of the subscriptions for
World's Fair stock were from tfo,
000 to $100,000, and several hundreds
from $10,000, $25,000. 'J he people of
Chicago subscribed as they had never
subscribed before, nearly all good and
substantial citizens contributing accor
ding to their means, so that never
in the history of the world was so
large a subscription made so readily
and so promptly. The Book of the
Fair by Hubert II. Bandcroft.
Just so. And were all that Chicago
made out of the World's l air invest
ment revealed to the world, we think
the world would with one accord con
clude that the investment was rather
better than fair.
Wages and Tbeir Protection.
If not withstanding a $ 1,800.000 di
vidend the Pullman Company found it
necessary to reduce the pay of their
laborers while the McKinley tariff bill
was in fu'.l operation, it is not to be
expected, of course, that the passage
of the Wiisoa bill will make matters
better for the wage earner now in the
employ of that particular corporation.
It is rot to be expected that the
passage of the Wilson bill will lessen
t"e '--!int jeopardy of the laborer
who is employed by a protected es
tablishment of any kind, whether it he
the Pullman Company or any other of
our hi-'y protected industries. It is
not labor but capital that cries lor
special protection. Labor cries to
live sometimes when cornered. The
case in point demonstrates that the
relations between the dividends of the
employer and the pay of the employed
is as nothing whatever. And whether
the tariff be high or low this is the
case. To give high protection to
capital in anticipation of great gener
osity and of higher wages to the labor
er, tne case in point snows to ce :c:.y.
If a J 1.800.000 dividend will not war
rant wages sufficient to prevent a
strike on the part of employees, it is just
as well that all such prote'ed indus
tries be promoted less. And it is
just as well that employees vote
against any party that upholds such
immensely rich and grasping plants
and monopolies. The ballot is the
best lev-rsge of the war-earner and
the proper leverage. The sin of
quietly frustrating the plans of great
trusts, combines, and monopolies is
entirely pardonable, in fact it is no
sin whatever, but on the other hand it
is loth patriotic aid rhteous to
stand up and vote for equitable laws
and regulations and against all inequi
ty. Tne party thai comes nearest to
fulfil ing all of its election promises of
equitable legislation when reaching
down among the lowly for votes, is the
only sale party to vote for these days.
We have learned that both parties will
bear watching, but open treachery is
so ill concealed tnat the humblest
voter can detect and runish it by
putting his vote where it is apt to do
the most good, and where its influence
will spread the greatest consternation
among thieves and fals pretenders.
There is where we ought to put it,
and without regard to party affiliations,
every time we vote. Let us not there
fore be surprised at reduced wages
wherever a protected industry is in
operation. The premeditated and
prearranged plan is no doubt to re
ducc wazes generally and to attribute
it all to the passage of the Wilson bilL
in corporations where a $ 1,800,000
dividend under a Republican tana
don't satisfy, a lower dividend would
seem to be ruinous. And were this
dividend to be multiplied by two the
chances are ten to one that the labor
ers in that particular establishment
would know nothing of it. Down and
out upon all such protected trusts and
combines, and down and out upon
any political party that thrives by up
holding them.
Luck, Pate end Destiny.
PeihiDS the smoothest talker and
closest watcher of the political drift or
bent of controlling influences in the
State of New York is the rich, the
polished and the aesthetic Chauncey
Depew.
The hour for political interviews
being near at hand, we find Mr. De
pew among the first to relieve his
mind politically. He does so. no
doubt,' !p order to gratify himself and
the anxiety of a host of admiring
riend who are somewhat in the habit
of relying upon his prophecy after
carefully scanning the political hori
zon, State and National. Depew
looks sharp and they know it.
We find among the more important
reflections and observations of Mr.
Depew, who has known President
Cleveland for years, that he likens
hirn to the school teacher who has a
lot of good and bad boys to deal with ;
but whether the boys be good or bad,
or brighter or duller than the teacher,
the teacher never permits even his
brighter scholars to forget who is mas
ter, or who is running the school. We
scarcely know, however, whether this
peculiarity can be regarded as a fault
or a talent 011 the part of an honest
President who has indeed a very bad
lot of spoiled scholars to contend with.
There is no doubt they ran the school
heretofore just as though the teacher
was out, and hence the warfare upon
him for presuming to establish a little
healthful financial and commercial dis
cipline among them at a time when
financial and commercial equity is
most sadly needed because it has
hitherto been too much wanting in
t ie school room. It is greatly needed
for the common good and has been
for years.
While Mr. Depew not only regards
the President as a clumsy pedagogue
whose honesty of ournose he does nnt
question, he attributes his great suc
cess up 10 me present rather to his
luck than his management TT thpro.
fore admonishes Republicans of New
York and elsewhere to he m-.t
sanguine about snowing Democracy
under just yet, while hoping of course,
for victory.
If we can read correctly between
the lines of Mr. Depew's remarks then
we observe that he observes that the
school master and the equitable ideas
ne auvccaies are just such ideas as
will not M down and out at the bid
ding ' of the selfish and obsueierous
scholars referred to. and of course
Mr. Depew is in sympathy with the
bad boys and the protected ftudents
upon whe m Mi. Cleveland has been
laying the whip until their tacks and
lets are sore indeed with the thrashirz
already ai!mir.:'stcic& What they are
most anxious about now is a change of
teachers for the future. In their fright
they even prophecy a third terra for
the " old cium? y pedaeotnif " who
now runs the schooi. But while this
is not probable, a successor elected
Ujxn the same issue, and following the
same line of policy, we verily believe
to be the fate and destinv of those
friends of Mr. Depew who are already
tremoling in their boots.
Peanflrauii Tours to tbe South.
Fcr several seasons past the an
nouncement of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company's Tours to the South
has been ixKed for 'ith interest, and
the j.lta:.?.nt an'icij.iUioriS of those
who prtic:pited in them have been
mere thur. realized For the present
early a :fjrVi, announcement is made
ol two personally conducted tours from
New York to the mountains of Mary
lmd and Virginia and the two roost
pruin'.ne.-.t cities of the upper South.
The specific points covered by these
tours are Gettysbuig, Blue Mountain,
Lutay Caverns, Natural Bridge, the
Grottoes of the Shenandoah, aud the
cities of Richmond and Washington.
It would be difficult to plan a tour
of ten days which would embrace a
more interesting group of places, as
every one cf tlieru has an individual
interest that cannot fail to enlist wide
and favorab!; attention. The scenery
of the entire route is picturesque and
attractive, and the season is timed so
as to present the scenic beauties in
their best form.
These tours will leave New York
and Philadelphia on September 15
and 19, and the members of the party
will travel in special trains of parlor
cars provided exclusively for their use.
The entire round trip covers a period
o. ter. cays, ar.d excursion tickets, in
cluding all traveling expenses, will be
sold from New York at $55 and Phila
delohia $53.
For itineraries containing complete
information as to routes, special train
service, descriptive notes, &c, apply
to or address Tourist Agent, 1196
Broadway, N. Y., or Broad Street
Station, Philadelphia.

The October furrier's will contain
the first of five papers by Edwin Lord
Weeks on Indian life and art. Under
the title " Lahore and the Punjaub" it
will describe the characteristic feat
ures of the Punjaub district, its peo
ple, its officials and army, and its
architecture, with fourteen j.ictures
engraved from paintings by Mr.
Weeks. In the same number, will ap
pear an article on the streets of Paris,
by Richard Harding Davis, v.'ith tell
ing illustrations by C. D. Gibson ; a
paper on " Golf in the Old Country,"
by Casper W. Whitney, illustrated
from drawings and photographs; and
a review of the romantic work of Ib
erville in exploring the Mississippi and
gaining Louisiana for the French.
The fictions of the number will be no
table. Interest will increase in Char
les Dudley Warner's novel, "The Gol
den House," and the short stories wi!l
include "The Pinochle Club," a sketch
ot low political life in New York, by
Julian Ralph ; ' Salvation Gap," a
story of a mining camp and a lynch
ing, by Owen Wister ; " In the Piney
Woods," a tale of North Carolina, by
Mrs. B. F. Mahew ; and " The Old
Gentleman of the Bb.ck Stock," a
charming story of old-fashioned Vir
ginia life, by Thomas Nelson Page.
If the large decrease of business
failures can now be attributed to the
confidence established by the passaee
of the Wilson bill, what party was
responsible for the prolonged delay
in its passage ? If the voter can find
out for certain we think he ought to
vote against that party. It would
serve that party right in our opinion.

control the regulation of their supply

only get up a real fight among the com

The trusts and ombines understand
