Prof. Swing, at the Central Church, had for his subject “ Thoughts on Man," moro especially with referonco to his origin and ancostry, and maintaining that tho human race Js ono race In its origin, and God its only ane eestor.

Dr. Goodwin, at tho First Congro- sational Church, contintred his course of sermons ‘on the Future State, in this discourse trentingof “Tho Heeoguttion of Frionds—the Gloritled Bouy."* GETTING RIOH FAST Asn general proposition, mining corpora: tons and mining stocks are frauds, to boas enrefully ayolded 18 investments for honest- ly-nbtained’ money as. tha ventures at the gambling-tablo or the lay-out of the monte- men. Of course thore are mining compn- nies which haven bonn-fide property, have aunetual substanee, and whose operations aro managed with a reasonable degree of honesty and responsibility.’ ‘These, however, are so exceptional that they may. bo easily counted, ‘The stuck of these compantes Is so well fortified by actual property that itis rarely on the market, and never hawked about at adisconnt, Themultitudesof these companies are, however, no more than legnl- ized swindles, into which the unwary are trapped and robbed. One of the ordinary weaknesses of human nature was wildly developed by the Into War. That weakness was the desire to get rich without Inbor, suddenly arid to an ex- travagant extent. A voluminous and depre- elated paper currency familiarized the pub- Mle mind with large figures;, the sudden and Jnrge fortunes gained by contractors during the War, tho Inflation of all nominal yalues, the excessive displuy of suddenly aquired wealth, the growth of luxurlotis tastes and habits, the change from days of tofl and anxiety to lavish expenditure and yulgar ense,—all had 9 corrupting influence upon the public mind, and an influence whose evil results will long survive the gen- eration which first experienced it, ‘The natural taste for speculation was whotted by the examples of vast riches gained by brief ventures, and the envy felt towards the successful was In nowlse mitigated by. the strong suspicion that questionable means had been employed in many cases, ‘The fre- quent trips to Europe by whole families who had preylously Nved in humble cireum- stances, and the bringing back of the extornal evidences of fashionable luxury, gave to wealth an example in social Iife which formed a widespread desire to gut rich rapidly. The stow processes of labor and moderate ne- cumulations became distasteful, ond. the search for short cuts to fortune led thou- sands of: previously-contented people to abandon Inbvor as vulgar, even if honest, to find quicker returns, even {f the menns were less creditable. Everybody beeame a speculater. Evorybody wanted to live in a better house, to wear better clothes, and to finve wore money to spend than ho or she had before, During the latter partof AndrewJolinson’s Administration the tax on whisky was $3 per gallon, ‘he money to be made by selling whisky without paying the tax wascnormous, Seventy millions of gallons of whisky were made every yenr, and every gallon on which no tax was pald ylelded $3 profit to some- body. No wonder that the number of gallons on which the tax was paid fell to 18,000,000 -n year, and the profit, dis- honest as !t was, found willing hands to share it.» Everybody speculnted—men, women, al children; boys and girls left the farms and yillnges to go into the cities, where monsy was plenty, where they coutd got money and have good clothes, wear kid gloves, have fenthers in their hats, see Jife, ant run the chances of making a good strike, on the road to rutu. Work was vulgar; money was plenty; It wag easy to buy on credit, and sell at credtt with a large profit, Itis truo that In 1873 thore came n sudden end to this mania, Credit collupsed; in a single day fortunes perished; the rich becamo poor; silka wore oxchanged for rags, and the spendthritts were reduced to the alternative of going back to lnbor or golng to the bad, and the erhuinal records of the day show how large a proportion took the latter course, -For several years there was 2 struggle for existence, Under the sepulehral monument of the Bankrupt Jaw are burled thousands who had hopelesly tried to recover. ‘Iho past was too greatalond to carry, Out of this graveyard of speculation cameat last the boom of better times, Men were again at work, ‘Tho industrions population in fleld, and work- shop, and counting-room found employment and remuneration better than these had ever been before, ‘Times got better, wages were larger. and more regular, expenditure in- creased, and the smothered but not ex- Unguished fre of speculation broke forth anew. Thie time it hus taken tho for of digalug gould, of Onding gold, of gatherlng in 8 few weeks gold cnowgh to overshadow the earnings of a lifetime of Jaber, Young men by the thousands haveabandoned Inbor, taking the hundreds and thousands of dol- Jars saved by ‘them, and gone olf to the mountains to get rich by (nding gold, ‘Thoy. oxpect to find Itin the running streams, In tho solid rocks, under the roots: of trees, in tho plajns, and. in over- hanging banks; they oxpect .to strike tho varth anti tohear ps metallic response, It ia of no uso to tell these people that each ounce of gold ever found hus cost far moro than its value in human toll and human lif to uncover It; the deslre to get rich sud- dlenly and without labor overwhelms all reasonable considerations, ‘Chis manis is fed by wonderful stories of fortunes inade In a few weeks, days, and hours by mining stocks. There are thou- sands of discontented people who cannot go to the mines,—cannot go to the hills to dig. ‘They doyour everything published ‘concern: Sug thesa so-called mines, They read and helidyo all the stories of tho wonderful wealth. to be thu? guined, ‘They read of stocks goll- ing at 50 cents on tho $100 yesterday, and of thelr salo to-day, at $50; they read of lines sulling at $500, and belng stocked | Gt $1,900,000, and the stork being In do- munud. ‘There ore thousands of those so-called imlies — capitalized at — sums ranging from $1,000,000 to - $90,000,000; of mines whose stock for $1,000,000 has been THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MON. AY, APRIL 12, 1880, sold at25 cents on the dollar becoming of Buch valite that tho capital was Increased to $10,000,000 ant divided among tho original stockholders, and ‘then selling at $100 per share. Itis not surprising that these self- evident fables find eredulous persons in All walks of life investing thor ton, fifteen, and hundreds of dollars of savings In the stocks of these scandalous and infamous swinilles and frauds. It is Insptred by the old manta for getting rich suddenly and without Inbor, It {s the desire to got great,wenlth for tho purpose of spending it in display, of having fashionable dissipation, of outdressing one’s nelghbors, of having better louses, bottor clothes, and of living faster, more rivtously, moro aimlesty, and more dlsreputably, ‘The operators of these bogus mining achemes of course could make no money if there wero not fools to be duped, pigeons to be plucked, and money to be parted with in der the most stupid expectations, The anx- fety to get rich suddenly arid without Inbor, however, fs stpertor to reason. It {3 only necessary for Mrs, A, at © reception, to sco the superior diamonds of Mrs. B, to make her inquire of her hus band why he does nob buy on gold ming, and, giving up his bitsiness, go to Europo and have a good thne, instead of try- Ing to make n living slowly. So with people {n all tho walks of life, To bny a gold mine Is the rullng ambition, and fn nine enaes ont of ten the money Js desired for purposes of display,—shoddy exhi{bition, weak ambition to outshine thelr neighbors, Nevertheless millions of dollars are finding thelr way Into theso'factorics of mines, and the robbery of the dupes goes on ns If tho swindling was not an oll story practiced tn‘ every ange and in every country, but espe- cfally in this one, THE SOUTH AND THE CANDIDATE, Tho Philadelphia Record urges that the Democratio States of the South should take {nto thelr own hands the setiloment of tho Democratic Presidential nomination. Iteom- plains that “the universal disposition among Southern Democrats to concede to the North the candidates becomes a viclous sentimen- talism if it permits the cholea of bad enndl- dates, In the present condition of Northern politics, with such great States as New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio nursing the small quarrels of ambitious men and Incapable of any jolut or generous action, It ts the busl- ness of the united South to,intervene and de- clara itself In the interest of tho country.” There is one sense In which this advice Is yery sound. Ifa Democratic candidate is elected, he must be elected by the South, and whatever policy tha Administration may in- augurate the South will be responsible for, The South contributes tho vast majority of tho Deinoeratic party, and does the voting for the pnrty, -in Congress and out of it. Tho North only furnishes hangers-on, Ily- Ing off the Southern Democracy by virtua of its superlor cheek and nolse, ‘There Is no good renson, thorefore, why the South should. not name the candidate without any regard tothe North, since it will have to do the real work of electing him and will be re- sponsible for him. We seriously abject, however, to the main reason why this should be done—“bocause it is tine that an end was made to sectionalisin.” So long as tho Soutly has yo other motive for action than section- allsm, we do not seo how tho Record’s prop- oaition will end it, Sectionalism urged the South into a war to break up the Unton and destroy tha Government. Sectlonalism ins sought to obstruct every method of re- construction. It has driven out Northern men and Northern capital, whfch- were and aro still necessary to develop its resources. It lins disfranchised. the Re- publican party in the South and mado tho South solid politically against the North. It has influenced all the legislation which has been Introduced from that section, and dominated the voting upon it. ‘There Is nothing, therefore, in precedent or experience to Indicate that the candidate nominated by It would not be @ scetional candidaté In the most Intense moaning of the.term, but on tho other hand there woulil be every assurance growing out of such a prospect that the cown- try would be plunged into confusion if not into ultimate war. Still, if the South would like to try tho experiment of following the Record’s nlvico, the Republican party would notseriously object. With a solid North for a Northern candidate arrayed against a soll South for a Sonthern candidate, there would be no doubt of tho result, THE ENGLISH LIBERALS AND THEIR PROGRAM, ‘Tho comparatlyely small majority aver Con- servatives and Mome-Rulers by which the British Liberals return to power fs linble, we think, to prove a fortunate occurrence for them, ‘Tho Conservative leaders haye always been unserupulous in thelr promises to the Home-Rule party; the latter may therefore be expected now to’vote most frequontly with the Conservatives, ‘Tho Liberal party differs from the Conservative in that few of {ts prominent men think alik on any ono public question, The repre- sentatives of tho Intter aro almost ex” clusively aristocratic by birth and tenden cy. ‘Their {nterests and feelings are there- fore shuilar, ‘Chey think alike, aro prompt- ed by the same motives, and vote alike on al- most every occasion, Whatever their pos!- tion In Ifo may be, thore are fow mon in tho Parltamontary ranks of the Conservative party who do not worship everything per- talulug to tha aristocracy, ‘fhe varlous in- dustrial Interests of tho British Empire have therefora never found propor representation among thom, and asa natural consequence all legislation by them for these Interests ling either been neglected or directed by persons largely ignorant of tholr necessitles.. As the mnotlves and fuelings of the Conservatives are Identical, it has never been dificult for their leaders in. Parllament to control and govern them, Their strength Has never been feittered away by dissension, The Con- survative party hug owed its success In at- talning power to the udiniration which tt fa tho nature of overy Englishman to -feel for anaristocrat, and to tho fuct that in thelr appeals to the people thelr efforts, which were united, have been exerted to the great- est advantage, ’ ‘Tho Liberal party, on the contrary, is, as its nome huplics, made up from all classes of veople. Its roprosuntatives are from every station fu Jife. ‘he various professions, trades, and Industries have thelr spokesmen within Its ranks iu the Mouse of Commons, Dut there are few questions upon which one tlre unanhuity of opinton exists among them, ‘The views of Mr, Chamberlain and Prof, Fawcett, for oxamplo, differ from those of Mr, Gladstone und Mr, Bright. Theao two aro not in full accord with Lord Martington, or with Mr, Forator and.Lord Kimberly, Under these elrcunistances, wise Jegislation by the Liverals can only be secured after careful consuitation and mutual com promise, A cautious prudence and much common senge will be Jndispensably requisit for lurmontous actlon by them onany subject, ‘The adoption of auy hasty orjujudiciows policy can scurcely be possible whoreso many diverse jnterests, 50 many inen of varied opinions, are ty by consulted, Government by the Liboral patty ix essen- (lilly a Government by the peopl and for the people, Conservative Government, yn the other hand, can only be in the interest of the urlstocrnoy, It ean novyer be other than What it bas been during tho last six yeare,—~ purely personal and In accordance with tho dictares.of ono Individual, if tho Liborals had obtained ns Intge ma- Jortty in the tnst.election, they would prob- nbly encounter many serlous obstacles to their Parlinmentary success. With sueh minjority It would bo dificult, and in many cuscs Impossible, to prevent some of thelr representatives in Parlinment from following their own personal opinions rather than any general party polley. Ilaving only a amalt majority, this is not Ukely to happen. Tho Opposttion being so strong in tho new Parliament, tt will be neevssary that each Liberal member yield hls own opinion to the party program, Tho election proved that the Liberats wero ready and willing iu an emergency to sink thotr dliterences for thocommon good. Such emergencies in the nexte Piirllamont will frequently arise, aut the same yielding of Individuol opinion by Liberal members will be {ndispensable, un- less thoy desire to break up thelr party and to ninke a new election necessary. . The greatest differences nmong the Lib- erals hnaveso far been principally ns te tho conduct’ of foreign nffairs. Reforms ond changes required by domestic Intorests find greater unanimity of vpinion among them. Vossessing so intich practical and skilled fit formation regarding these Interests nmong thelr Parlinmentary representatives, it is hardly posslble that tholr legtstaffon for home affairs can be other than judicious, A raptd decrease of tho varied evils which oxtst throughout the United, Kingdom may bo ex- nected. It its probable, also, that thoy will bo ablo to remedy, at an early day, many misfortunes brought upon India by Con- sérvative rule, as the Englishmen most oxpo- rienced In Indian affulrs are tobe found in thelr ranks, ‘The greatest diMlculty encountered by the Kiberal Administration will probably be found In the conduct of those affairs nbrond which wore left unfinished by the Conserva- lives. These will test the strength of the Libernl party to the utmost, and if not brought to satisfactory solutions wil make Its lease of power of short duration, En- glishmen aro undoubtedly willing to un- dergo much sacrifice In order’ to preserve thelr national predominance in other coun- tries. Such ascendency benefits thelr trade and tickles their self-concelt. ‘There Is cer- talnly no gratification comparable to these ju shaping public opinfon among them. ‘Tho Conservative polley, however, called for tov Jarge on expenditure In money and bade falr to yield too smalin return to either pridg or pocket for thom to continue any length of timo in submission to its exactions, It will be necessary for the Liberals to shape thelr courseso as not only to avoid wounding these too acuto sensibilities, but to contrib- ute as much ns possible to their gratifieation, ‘Tho task will be no easy one. It is stated by the London Tunes that the policy of the Liberal Cabinet will be to main- tain the Treaty of Berlin in accordance with the public opluion of Europe, to treat the Anglo-Turkish Convention ns 9 question still open and to be regulated by future events; that it will ‘probably ingulre whether tho annexation of the Transyral was not made in error,—this also being regarded ag an open question; that the Governinent shonlt insist tipon the South African Colonies entering Upon some common engagement for military: defense by which the Mothor Country will be relloved from the Inrge expense attending native wars; that whatever is dono in Afghanistan will be with the sole view to the safety of Indin; and that tho proposed schemo for the transfer of Herat to Persia, with the entangling alliance attending it, will no “longer bo heard of. Tho speeches of tho Liberals, during tho election, lead us to bellevo thnt this statomont Is cor rect. Recent evengh show that to it may probably be nddeit the. prompt sottloment of the Greek boundary question; a frank and manly understanding with Russin relative to tho affairs of Turkey and Central Asin; no nore coqueting with Bismarck and Hoymerlo forndefensive alliance with Gormany and Austria, and a-closer bond of friendship with the French Republic, If the Liboral Jendera enn cause the atoption by thelr party of this program, thoy will have ample tuoccupy them for some years, ‘It probably covers every foraign question lable to arisa during their tenure ‘of office, It is In ac cordance with the expectations which were based on statements made by their own speakers. It meets the wishes of the British people because it will lessen expenditure, and, while presorving British prastige, it In- flicts no wound upon British pride.” OHINA AND RUSSIA. Tho forelgn dispatches report that the Rus- sian ‘fleet has beon ordered into Chinesu waters with the expectation that its presence will awe the Celestials and counteract the as- condency which the renetlonary party Is gaining, to the manifest danger of Europenngs, So far as alarming the Chineso with a display of Russian war-vessels Is concerned, thore is little prospect of a very extensive scare, in- asmuch ns the Chinese flect Is quiteas strong, if not stronger, than the Russian; and was recently shown by: the London Times to be even stronger In some respects, especially in Nght-dkatt vessels carrying heavy armaments, to the English. ‘ha moral effect of the Russion tleet would also to a cortain extent be countoracted by tho British fleet which Woult bo certuin te follow It, and would rep- resent a Power which fs friendly to Chinn, Again, it is questionable whether the pro- posed display of Russian strongth on tho eastern sido of China is go much Intended to Influence her Inher relations to the other European Powers, as to Ine {midate ~ hor in her operations on: hor western frontler,- One thing is ‘ cor tains Russin and Chinn have at Inst mot in Central Asin, and Russia, contrary to ull hor expectations, finds China tn a belligerent nttltude, and not only disposed to fight, but rendy to fight, which isthe last thing that Russia wants to do at present, In view of her internal dissensions, her financial complica- tlons, ind the uncertainty of her relations to, England and Germany, ‘Tho throatoned collision between China and Rusuiy has developed a yery important. view of tho former’s resources us a military power. So far from belng ina condition of decadence, as lings generally been supposed uf allthe Asiatic Emplres, tt 1s dlacovered that China, though governed by an infant and’ two old women, 1 renily In a condition to talk back to Russia nnd domanda provinces from her upon penaltyof war. It Is found thatall tho power of tho Empire, notwith- standing much dissatisfaction, corruption. and revolution in the past, ls consolidated with wonderful cohesiveness under the mysterious Iniluence of the two old women, and that the Provinelnt Governors, and Vieeroys oboy them, or somo secret power behind them, without question, Up to this time Russia in her progress through Central Asin las selacd and held territory almost without Airing a shot, and has never relinquished what sho hastaken from China, apparently beeause there has been no power to demand It, Now4 sho finds a demand for the.restoration of Kuldja first by negotiation, ‘Tho negotiution has been had, and ts do unsalisfuctory to tho two old women that they order the Plentpoten- thiry’s head tuken off and demand a fresh negotiation, which Russia is willing to graut because there ts a strong Chinese army in Central Asla prepared to Aight for Kuldja if it Is not given up on satisfactory terms, Jb has been dlscoy- ored, morcoyer, that tho Chineso armics are formidable Affairs, In point of nin bers China has the advantage which s watlon af 400,000,000 lins over one of %0,000,- 000, nnd itis to be takon Into recount also that tho Chinese havo alt tho fatalism of Asiatics and do not fear death, Thou sands of thom might be slain and there re- main thousands more to rush in and take thelr places, Tho vvercrowded provinces could supply miliions, and they can subsist upon almost nothing. It lias also been dls- covered that these armies afo now well armed with improved modern wenpous, and that they have at least somo knowledge of European drill, With tho vast superiority of munbers and tho possesston of aris of preetsion, Jolned te the wonderful reenpern- tive power of tho Chinese, it will be secon that, while they may nat be able to drive out the Russians, they can seriously embarass thom and prolong a campalgn almost indeti- nitly, since It hag the capacity for relnforeo- ment after defeats which no other Power In tho world possesses. One of the English pa- pers, In commenting upon this point, says: Tach country fs under tho disndyantage of 9 dlstunt buse,—the distance for the Chinexo, tke ing Sin-gau-fu ns tha nearest paint to Kuldja, bolt some 2.078 miloa; while Oronberg, ns tho Russian base, ts lttle jess.
