COMFORT FOP THE POOR.
Tht phrase "the rich are growing richer nnd
Wis poor poorer," Is one that rolls freely nnd
tllblj over the tongue. Why don't senslblo peo
ple, oftener eontroYtrt It. It Is positively not
true. Xever In the history ot the world was
wealth ao generally diffusedas In our day.
We clip tho nbove cliolco tidbit from the
rVeatherly Herald. We should bo very
glad If Uro. Jllnker discovery were true,
and so would all the poor peoplo of tho
country; but unfortunately overy labor or
ganization, eyery strike, every case of pov
erty, our every day observation, every
economic writer, almost every newspaper
throughout the world, all combined, stamp
tm. Kluker's wonderful announcement ns
false. lie elves the customary corporation
and monopolistic parrot-like statement with
all'.the simplicity of genuine Innocence. It
affords us a good cue however, which we
titter before understood, why It Is that
'Bro. Rlnker It always defeated whenever
fee runt for office whether It Is for asses
er, justice of the poacc or anythlnc else
The people nover could go a man that blows

PRESIDENTIAL TALE.
From the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle: Mr. Depaw would carry New
York, with a rush over Grover Cleveland.
Prom tho Elmlralclccrcisr: JHIlIam
T. Coleman, the Ban Francisco merchant,
looms up just now as a Democratic Vice
Presidential possibility.
From the Philadelphia Neios: Just at
present Jndge Walter Q. Gresbara of Indl
ana, Is the prime favorite In tho race of the
Aebublican Presidential candidates.
"' From the Toneka Democrat : Whatever
.he result, Gov. Hill and the stalwart Deni
eeracy have won a victory. President
Cleveland, if the nominee, must run as a
Democrat, not as a .Mugwump.
From the Globe-Democrat'. It seems
fe to predict that Grcsham, Sherman or
Hlicock could secure the electoral vote of
New York this year against any candidate
. the Democracy could select.
From the Cleveland Leader: We can
readily believe that a situation may possi
bly be created In which Mr.CIeveland would
feel It his Imperative duty to decline being
a candidate tor Instance, if he did not
have votes enough In the convention to
nominate him.
From tho San Francisco Ileport:
Ch'auncey Depow President of the great
Hew York Central Railroad Company, Is a
possible Republican candidate, and to stand
. him off in Kood style the Democrats would
be forced to nominate a n.an of great men
tal calibre, with a special knowledge of
Vnslncss affairs.
Savannah News: Wherever the Penn
sylvania Democrats have had occasion to
Snbllcly express themselves they have en
orsed Mr. Cleveland and tariff reform. It
Is not strange that Democrats should en
dorse Mr. Cleveland, but It Is significant
that the home of protectlcn and strikes
sheuU declare for tariff reform.
From tho New York Ilerald: Mr.
Geerge Bancroft, tho venerable historian,
now in his 88th year, unhesitatingly ex
presses his conviction that President Cleve
land will succeed himself in his present
office. He says: "I feel sure of it. He
has proved himself an excellent President
and has made no mistakes, but his greatest
success was his marriage I would.not ad
vocate his reelection had he not married,
lint I think Mrs. Cleveland deserves a full
iena. One term is enough for a bachelor.
I have no respect for a man who has not
heart enongh to appreciate a woman or
"'oarage enough to woo and win her."
From the Minneapolis Tribune: As for
Minnesota opinion, it is as yet quite un
ferraed. Minnesota Republicans will be
repared most warmly to support tho nom
inee of the convention. They think well
f Jar. Uresnam, so far as tncy Know any
thing of a man who has been so little in
the country's view, but they arc not to be
aptured xn masse by tbo handful of ac
tive politicians who are In local charge of
the Qresham boom. Nobody is atlempling
to galvanize an Allison boom in Minnesota;
yet when the time comes for having an
opinion It Is likely to be evident that the
Iowa candidate has great strength here.
There I every reason why he should have.
" Be It the one conspicuous candidate of the
v new, west, no has oeen a sieauiast sup
porter of all .Minnesota and Northwestern
interests In Congress for many years. He
has strength with all elements of the party.
There are reasons why .Minnesota should
support him, while thcro are no assignable
Teasons for supporting Mr. Grcsham, rather
than Mr. Sherman, or Mr. Harrison, or Mr.
Depew, or Mr. IlUcock, or Mr. Uawley.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle: President
Cleveland's renomlnatlon is probable.
There is -opposition to It, but there Is no
organized opposition to it wTthin the Dem
ocratic party, liy orcantzed opposition Is
taeant that sort which would seek to send
to the Convention delegates In favor of the
nomination of some one else. There Is not
enough opposition to it in the party to or
fanize Itself. An attempt to organize it
would make it even less than It Is. To or
ganize it would be to require It tp focus
areund some one. That effort. would dis
integrate the opposition, which knows
whom it does net want. Endeavor to get
the opposition to cohere for somo ono would
break no the clique Into cllouelets. The
person around whom a union of the anti
Cleyeland Democratic faction might be es
sayed would be rendered ridiculous. Men
like to be talked about as possible presi
dential candidates but not with the cer
tainty of only being laughed at everywhere.
You can find Democrats who aro against
Mr. Gleveland and who say they aro against
his renomlnatlon and that he will be de
flated If he Is renominated; but you cannot
find any Democrats who believe he will not
be renominated, and no Democrat, big or
little. Is ready to say that he Is a candidate
against him.
From the Rochester Democrat: Who
Shall the man be? It will be for the Re
publican delegation to decide. The candi
date should be one who, assured of carry
ing Jftff York, would have the most
strength among New York candidates In
ther doubtful States. Of late, there
seems to have been a great deal of looking
toward New York city, where, in one of
the rooms of the Grand Central depot, sits
a genial and gifted gentleman, who tills
tiorne nnd IVie Side, whose sensibilities
had been blunted by the lewd associations
of the Mabllle and the high kickers of the
Chateau Roguo. And right hero the ques
tion o mcs what Is the object and mission
of art,' Why do wo go to tho theatre or the
art gallery, or the concert, or the opera?
Is there not sorrow and grief enough forced
upon us, nnd which wo cannot avoid, with
out conjuring up an Ideal world of ngony
and tears? Is there not sin enough and
moral tilth enough shaming tho night and
challenging tho day, without dragging It
before onr sons, our wives and our daugh
ters upon the stage? What pood Is to bo
conserved by Haunting tho scarlet sins of
tho dens of vice In the face of the entire
community, and under tho full light of tho
noonday sun? Not In my memory have I
seen more unlyetsal condemnation of any
public work than that which announced
Miss Davenport's production of La Tosca.
One paper calls it a recking abomination,
and another describes it as a mass of im
moral 111th. Nym Crinkle, a critic of local
relelirltv. uncorks tho sovcutll vial of his
wrath, and describes It In such fashion as
to call forth a hot protest from tho actress
who declares that these sclt-constltutcd
litdces are endeavoring to tuUo tho bread
from her mouth. The audience that greet
ed this i) av on Its llrst appearance cm
braced some of the very best peoplo In New
York, but It Is safe to say that very few of
them care about witnessing It a second
time. So universal was the Indignation
that the nrunlnc-knifo was hastily applied,
and on the following Tuesday a prominent
journal assured tho public that "the piece
can now be witnessed with perfect security,
as thu most olfensivo and filthy portions
had been cut out." It Is manifest that the
standards cf art aro different In Paris and
New York. Tho question Is not whether
we are better or worse than our neighbors.
They claim and' exercise the right of fixing
their own standards of art; so do wc; and
not even tho endorsement of Paris, with
the slsn-manual of Sardou at the bottom of
it, can gain recognition for such a moral
leurosv as La Tosca.
Revolving in my mind the question
"What Is evil? ' 1 strolled into the office of
tho Society for tho Prevention of Vice
Anthony Comstock, the Indefatigable, was
carefully packing up the proofs which he
had brought on a short tune before from a
trial In Philadelphia. A number of lu
famous photographs bad been captured in
possession of a dealer, and being offered In
evidence of guilt, were pronounced works
of art by the judge upon :ho bench. It has
been my evil fortuuo as a journalist to see
much of crime and much ot sin in tho year
I have passed in this great moral lazeretto,
The scenes in the dance-houses, the cam

me and niado me callous to ordinary sin
and crime; hut when I looked upou the
damning evidence on which Anthony vara-
stock was tin own ouiot court by a creatur
ralling himself a judge, I felt sick at heart,
Never before in portraiture have I seen any

I know not whether to impute it to besot

least a cont olatlon to know th never be

The Ancient Order of Hibernians Is the
most powerful Irish organization In Amerl

hours of the day; and, although au attempt
was mado to patch up a peace, It was only
partial, and as one of the leaders remarked
to me in speaking of the rival faction, ' We'll
take It out oythimylt, an' doan'tycz furglt

the procession was a tcirible shock to tbo
Hibernians. No such possibility entered In
to their calculations. Every mayor, for
many years.had been glad to do their bid

an entire suit of green mad and with a
genuine shamrock stuck hi his buttonhole.

to ins ionor, "iiiis is a great day for

other way. Jir. newitt is a dreadful suf

She swears that she was married to the boy
by a minister in a neighboring town, and
tho boy swears that ho never know that he
was oyer married at all. The question
simply turned on the fact that, hein an
infant, ho could not legally enter Into any

wife was thrown out of court.
A magnilicent specimen of the pious

He was detected in the act of breaking Into

the watchful proprietor placed a shooter

himself a member of Dr. Howard Crosby's

teacher, and she swore that she had known
his for several years and that lie was a
model young man; that she had frequently
assisted him, he was so good, and only the
week before she had given him teu dollais
to pay his board. The church hired
lawyer to defend him, and a temperance
organization, of which he was a bright and
shining light, came forward and testified
to his devotion to cold water. At last the

What Is art? is a question that has set
this community by the ears during the past
week, and the conflicting opinions as to
what art Is, are enough to set an ordinary
inquirer after truth wild. I can swallow

I can do It without winking, but I don't

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
Philadelphia Pa., March 10, '83
And sure John L that Is Sullivan did
not do It so effectually this time as he was
wont to do with his adversaries heretofore,
There has never yet been a man that has
not had his equal as to fistic qualities some
where In this world, and Sullivan seems to
have met his equal in this respect In the
person of the doughty little Englishman.
Charlie Mitchell. Mitchell may not bo
John L's equal In strength and physique.
but he Is In cunning, alertness and quick
ness; In this the American champion was
outdone and outgener&lled. The interest
aroused by this International contest Is
something surprising and wonderful, The
sight around the bulletin boatds of thu
various newspaper ofllces,all day Saturday,
longitude of Paris; and even there, where was a sight seldom surpassed. It was as

wickedness Is sold by the bundled thousand ;
where wrltersot lesser name but equal in

JUresMt tragic actress of the age, the play
was a efcoek M Ue blase eritlceof Th Xnn-
Intense and earnest as such places exhibit
during a great national political contest.
The bulletin boards were surrounded by
motley crowds, men, women and children,
being swayed forward and backward as the
newt, from the battleground would please
or displease the watchers for the latest from
France. The displeasing feature caused
the mo.t swavlnc, for all Ameiicaiis had
hoped that the redoubtable Sullivan
would make short work of tho light welaht
Mitchell. This feeling was so strong that
bels with groat odds $0 to SI or $10 to $1
wcro laid on Sullivan ; many a fellow who
only for tho fun of the thing Indulged In
heltlnc, by tho great odds offered, Is five or
ten times better ou lo-uav man uoiorc aim
luring the flzht. Afost of theso fellows arc
happy over their games bnt displeased at
tho draw, for by it tho American and a
great favoiite loses his pro3tlgo hcfoie the
world. This Is something ns nil llko lo
boast of, for there Is nothing In which
nieiicans aro not ambitious to excel oyer
uropeans, oven If It must te mat, cruoi
and bnrbarlous strugclo between Individ
uals prlzo fighting. Il'hlle tliodlsappolnt-
tnent nt the champion's loss Is great, there
Is yet hope for America to retrieve Itself,
ami ntfif-k It. will tin nn tnnncaln.
Pol tics has Its "tips ami uowns- iikc
everything else, and since James Gillespie
Ulalne has percmpioriiy withdrawn ins
name as a contesting candldato for tho Re
publican nomination for President the par-
of "moral Ideas" is in tins position oi
uns and downs" as to a candidate. Ono
ilay this name and tho noxt day that namo
suggested as the "jwessiair' mo man
who can win. Cbllds. Sheridan and Conk-
ling want nono of It, hence this speculation
as to the proper person, rennsyiyuuinus
are particularly at sea nt times ns to their

Bremnlncnce slnco Chllds' "no." that crys-
tnllzes sufficient sentiment amongst j:e-
publlcan leaders to have his namo go bc-

as n distinctive 1'cnnsvivania canuiuaie
with that adhesion ndlcatlnc success.
This speculation Is liable to continue unless
tlio primaries of Wednesday evening in
Philadelphia will indicate sonic one, hut
since this is not probable, wny not naye
tho conlendlng factions unite and select a
man like John ll'annamaker, whoso pre
eminence as a merchant and citizen, whose
broad and liberal m udedncss upon qucs
Hons of vital importance to the people, and
whoso standing, character and attainments
as a sclf-mado man self-made in all Its
meaning would place him beforo the conn
try as i popular candidate with the winning
s Mn nn. ii is namo possesses Jin inspiration
around which Americans would enthusias
tically ral v. U s career as a merchant and
citizen would arouse tho earnest plaudits of
all that is dear to nuy devotee of tho cause
and success of "Triumphant Democracy."
His cand dacv would most significantly
brhm into the field of national attention
those Individual probabilities and that
prowess so characteristic of tho progress
and achievements accomplished by the in
dustrial and commercial forces of this conn
try, encouraged by equality of opportunity
for thirty years past. Besides these popu
lar features Wannamaker's candidacy would
Inlect a vim and force Into a national con
test much desired. It would spoil the oc
cupatlon of the "mud thrower" nnd would
civo the people a clean campaign, clearly
fought upon tno msunguisning lines oi
principle dividing the two great parties at
this time. It would eliminate personalities
and tho decision thus rendered would, with
out any ambiguity, indicate the wishes of
the American peoplo as to the policy to be
applied In the management of national af
fairs, ana above au it wouiu so eiicciuany
annihilate that pestiferous commodity in
American politlcs.themuRWump.that noth
ing would be heard about It hereaf ler. Tru
iv. in so possible a contingency, a contest,
between tho H'aiinamaker and Cleveland
forces protection or moderate tariff would
be Interesting and greatly .to the benefit of
the American people.
One wlfo Is at limes a sourco of much
trouble and contention but one is nothing
compared to two, especially if this duality
brings the man Into the clutches of the
law. Tho latter Is tho case of the young
bigamist Joseph J. uuuen, wiio uuring
January got rather much into the matri
monlal business by leading twoyoung Indies
of excellent character m the spacoof a lltu
over a week. The discovery of his dual
marriage, as any sane man should have
known, caused his arrest and upon trial
during tho week ho was convicted". This
means, unless the court win grant a new
trial, an Imprisonment In the Lastern Pen
itentiary of no less than two years or more
than six years, it was uuring this trial
that Judge Arnold took occasion to de
nouuee tho marriage license law as a fool
Ish nnd unreasonable law. mo Judge not
alone holds to tills view, there arc man
more, because the law misses the mark of
Its intention by causing lots of elopements
does not repress marrying nor has it an
effect upon such as will evade tho law, be
sides it causes much immorality which
would be obviated if counles could go lo
minister direct without the intervention
this foolish law. One thing has been ac
complished andthat,it enhances the impor
tance of that matrimonial annex to l'hlla-
elphla, Camden. In this latter city are
ministers who have established agents
throughout Philadelphia to steer customers
to them. As a business venture this is
good enough, but as a conservator of moral
tono it Is a failure. Since it has become
obligatory to sccuro a license in Pennsyl
vania these Jersey justices and ministers
have had a bonanza, for their income from
marriage fees is large, some making as high
as $8,000 per annum. It pays these fellows
to serve tho Lord and have repressive laws.
It is needless to say that uuiicn got married
first In Camden and then went through tho
form of law In Philadelphia and got mar
ried again.
Those benighted follows who are so loud
In their acclaims that American Industry
would be ruined by a revision of the tariff
laws, evidently do not know that while the
population in Holland Is over ouu to the
square mile and in England 310 to the
square mile, It Is only 15 1-3, exclusive ot
Alaska, to the square mile in tue united
States. This fact alone, not even taking
Into consideration the fertility of our soil,
the richness of our mineral deposits, the
superior natural resources with which God
has blessed America, nnd the great super
iority of American worklngmen over Eur
opean worklngmen, would protect us
against -foreign or pauper competitions.
It is safe to assert that every custom house,
which is a hurt to commerce, could bo des
troyed and still the people of the U. S.
would have such great advantages that af
ter tho readjustment of things thuy would
not know the difference, and it is nn open
question whether they would not be, as nn
entity, much better aud more prosperously
situated, because the abrogation oi tue tar
iff laws would abolish the indirect subsidies
and cause every Industry to stand on Its
own bottom. Such au industry would bo
an Industry, for a branch of business that
requires a subsidy is no industry at all. It
is a burden and oppresses many tor tne in
terest of a few.
The excitement caused ove'r the granting
of licenses for Philadelphia by Quarter Ses
sions Judges, so far, is very Intense. The
liquor men are up In arms. No wondur
when the fact is considered that in lbsTout
of seven wards there were 1311 saloons.

this rate throughout tho city, out of over
mjuu liquor establishments lor icai, oiuy
about 1400 will be left to tell the tale. T
say that this has created consternation
amongst the liquor people Is to state It
lightly; curses, denunciations and bitter
ness over the rigor of the Brook's law Is
heard on all hands. The effect of this fan
atical restrlcttveness will find Its expression
at tho polls In 1SSS. Many conversant with
tue political condition oi rniiadeipiua as
sert that it will revolutionize thins by
making a minority, party of the majorl y
party. It will make at least a difference
of 25,000 votes, favorable to the Democrat-.
Republican politicians shake their heads
and declare that It looks bad for the G. O.
P. It may not be surmised, but it is the
truth, that three-fourths of the liquor peo
ple of Philadelphia have constantly voted
the Republican ticket and otherwise con
tributed to that party's success. This will
bo wanting for 188S, hence political calcul
ation for November. While It possesses
this feature on one hand It will the wip
ing out of so many places have a restric
tion much desired, for there were many
petty hellholes that should have been closed
years ago. These won't be allowed In any
wise. The scenes around the license court
room are very enlivening. Men with red
noses, bleared eics, bloated cheeks, shabby
and centeel In dress, Italian, Dntch, Eng
