A little over seven months ago J. B, Thompson, of Harrodaburg, Ky., bonded abont 1,000 barrels of whisky to be delivered to the collector of customs at Newport News for exportation to Melbourne. When, how- ever, the time approached for actual with- drawal of the spirits under bond, the distiller concludes it would be better to export the rpirits to come by way of New York and fi'ed with the colleotor at Fravk- fort a new_bond to cover the route from Newport Nexs to New York, The collector informed him that only four s time re mained to him under his original bond, snd as the new bond covered a period of thirty days, it could not be accepted, In the meantime believing that his now bond met all the re- quirements of 1aw, he had begun shipping his ¢0ods to New York, and internal revenue of- ficers soized a large quantity of it. The mat- ter was reportsd to the suthonties at Washington, and the distillers made » perconal application to Mr, Rogers, acting commissiuner of internal revenus, for & relcase of his apirits on the ground that they were shipped under a misapprehension, The act- ing commissioner con-ulted with the solicitor of internal revenue and ordered the re'ease from detention all spirits seized on condition that Il’my-hn‘l be held at Newport Nows subject to acceptance by the secretary of the treasurer of abond to cover the route from there to New York, Itis believed that tr nsfers will be al- lowed in this case notwithstancing the expira- tion of the seven months bonded period.

As un iostance of Chinese in- genuity it is said that those in charge of the operations, fearing the stench from the boil- ing pot: would be 80 great as to attract atten- tion outside, procured two living skonks so that the odor of the latter might overcoms the former, The coroner confiscated all the re- mains, The discovery this sfternnon of tha horrible wholesals practices ot Chinese committad ua- der the very nose of the ity suthorities has oreated deag and inten‘e ex.itanent.

Atter haviog opened several cases, the cor- oner concluded to eeiz the whelo lot and re- move them to the morgus, Express wagons were called, and while the cases were being placed in wagons some boxes rolled off to the pavement, breaking and leavigg the bones ex- sed to view, The crowd whohad assembled, aving learned the canse of the excitement, jumped in the boxes, and in thelr indignation trod them under foot.

They Iabor for their own sdvancement and mental improvement, But the laboriog classes of to-day are but little advanced over thoss of most ancient times, and all because of the moneyed power of the world, Underneath the shadows of Gould’s and Vanderbilt’s man- sions ia New York, women are to-day making chirts at, three cants spiece and wearing away their lives, In the beginning of thivgs all persons were on an equal fuoting. Then a few began to gather in money, Wealth has always been the dominant power all over the world, The generous government of the United States has made this country a more libsral ove than any European power. At wha. epoch money asserted 1ts power over the masses history does not thow, ~Coming down to a period eighteen hundred years ago the Iabor problem was ono which attracted atten- tion the same as it does now. Ths owner of & vineyard wanted men to work in hia fields, Ho went out and hired men for a penny a day. At the third or fourth hour he fouad he could not finish his work and went out in the highway, and, beholdiog men ot working, eaid to them: *"Why stand ye here idle all tho day?’ They explsined they could get mo work, and he_ said: ‘ Come into my vineyard snd I will give The vineyard owoer, still havieg his vines un- plucked, went #gain into the highway and got more men, When the labors of the day were finished, and the men paid, they all received the sam» sum—one penny. Those who worked all day protested that they had borne the heat of the hot sun, and were entitled to more pay, whea the owner smd: ““Is it not lawful for me to do with mive own as' I like?” The same anewer is made t) the laborer of to-day when be asks for justice, Ooming down eighteen hundred~ years let me ask you how far Lave we got from the vineyard stage. Boss Tweed said: ' are you going to do about it 7’ and Vanderbilt told the pnblic later on to ‘“be damned.” ‘Waealth to-day holds the world by the throat, ‘Whila Englieh serfs are unloosing their hold of aristocrats, the free serfs of, America are firm- ly held in ehacklos of steel. They subwit to it and ses it growing. Gould and Vander- bilt, according to the census of 1850, could have bought the entire stutes of Kaneas and Nebraska with all their cittes, towns and vil- lager, and still have a moderate fortuze left, Tho agressiveness of monopoly could be stopped, but only by the ballots of free peo- ple. Ths speaker said that daily labor was supposed to represent the fortuno of the hu- man race, He wanted to kuow how much toil and hew many days of labor tha $300,000,- 000 of money owned by Gou'd and Vanderbilt represented, Lab.ring men were told that they were prosperous and hippy, and when they objected rich men laughed and aeked what they would accomplish, The_agitation lavery was an analogous case, Men were cranks who ask for justice for the farm A fow yoars ago the Nebraski t was confronted with a bill to reduce pas- sepger rates to three cents a mile, There was a ti6 vote in the senate, which was decided by the president of the seuate voting against the measure, Men sent to the legielature have betrayed their constituents, Rallroad oreans and their cappers patted these fooliah lopis- lators on the back, gave them drink, and called them great legislators, and the poor, deluded men were body and soul in the power of the companies, This state of things would not always exist, and the time would come when the people would rise and declare their power, The senator at this point spoke of the great discrimination of Nebratka railronds against the peol and compsred them with Iowa roads, which gave one hundred per cent less rates and were satisfied, When ho referred to the Reagau inter-state commerca bill, and the Nebraska legislators endorsement of his own advocacy of it, the large audience chaered enthuslastically. He then spoke of the railroad commission force and the catering it did to railroads, If Gere had been in the hall ho must ha blushed, If he had such an article about him, which is very much doubted by all who know him, ~ The tor closed with an eloguent peroration, after which he shook hands and receiyed the congratulations of a msjority of those present.
