Pnila- delphia was the first eity 1o apply the prineipie, and the spiendid results are illustrated in the claim that over 60,000 have built themselves homes through these agencios, Outside of Philadelphia their growth is equaily notable. In tho state of Ohio 750,000 people are interested in these associations, representing over $30,000,- 000 capital actually employed.

Their growth and beneticent influence in Indiana may be measured by the statement that in Indianapolis 35,000 people ure inter- ested.

The possession of a grent fortune may gratify the vanity of its possessor, but it docs not carry with it positions of honor ana trust or assurance of high social distinction. Our people as a whole do not like to see fortunes grow to immense proportions, and when they contemplate an’ estate that crowds a hundred millions and seems likely to g0 on growing they naturally display littleof the communistic sentiment that secems to be ingrained in the nature of mankind. o place a limitation upon the concen- teation of wealth has long been the droam of ideal economists. Iivery gon- eration produces a new erop of wise men who deem themselves competent to deal with the problem, 1t is creditable to the Ame an people that they do not sot themseives against tho money princes morely because they are such. It is possible for o man to be rich in this country and yet be popuiar with tho massos. The millionaire who ostab- lishes greatenterprisos which in various way welit the people at large by furnishing employment to them wi always esenpo the savage eriticism that is leveled ut the man who hoards his moncy and whose sola ambition is to pile million upon million by the ignoble process-of hoarding. This country has moro millionairos than any othor in the world, but owing to the circumstances and conditions under which great fortunes have in a mujority of cases been made hero this fact docs not signify an inequitable division of the country’s wealth, Dis- covery and invention, both beneficiul to mankind at large, have been the soure of wenlth of muny of our millionaires. In both of these flolds of uetivity monopolies more loss burdensome have sprang up, but the fact vemuins thut tho public has profited by the groat enterprises which hav shed in the provess of fo tune-building in th United States. The marvelous industrinal revolution is largely responsible for tho advent of the millionaire. e applinnce of stoam to transportation by rail, river and oconn, the telegraph, telephone and eloctrice motor, the s maching, typewriter and porfocting pross, tho hurvestor, reaper and mower and scores of other greatlabor 8 iving davices hava multiplied wealth und made scores of or boen esta i millionaires, There isa widespreud and growing sentiment to check the undue accumula- ton of wealth.

CALAMITY PRODHETS JURILEF This is the y no doubt of it have been po wnd is the calamity prophets’ Ihose calamity prophets told us that this is to bo a terriblo for rires, floods, famine, cyclones and earthquikes. If they haven't men- tioned that the will to nn end this yenr it was ceriainly an over- sight. Itinay be urged by scoffing skep- ties that such predictions boon made time and again for years. That woro an idlo and irroveront jest. What- ver errors these diviners of calamity have made,their forebodings are coming 1o pass with almost apsolute certainty this year, Please observe the_great vindication of the prophots since” the year 1892 was in. Watch the tidings of calamities and visitations of disaster which have fallen upon the earth, They prodicted easthquakoes, and Cali- fornin shook. They predicted hurri- canes, and vight on our table lios a dis- pateh of the disastrous typhoon at Mauritius, They told of fires, and New Orlonns was almost swept off the earth by flame, while Oswego is still burning. They spoke of floods, and flood news is remarkable for its quantity. Floods in every part of the earth except China, where an annual inundation buries a million souls, but that will come later. Look at Iingland, she has lost an heir to tho throne. Look at Russia with hor millions of starving poasants. Look at Germany with her emperor ng some one to hoid him from declaring war against all the bolligerent powers of llurove.

Tt will bo rememberaid by thoso who are keepin, familiar with the procoedings that the report of tho committee on the state of tho church asserted that the negroes in the south are not only treated shamo- fully in hotels and on railroad trains, but are shot down like dogs out of sheer race hatred.

Dr. Charles A Briggs of Union Theological seminary are awalting with considorablo interest the result of his appearance beforo the Presbyterinn general assombly at Pori- land, where the soundnoss of his theo- logical views will be determined by tho highest authority of the church. The strongth of Dr. Briggs’ hold upon the famous old institution with which he is connected is shown by the fact thut the directors, alumni and students are with him in his fight for liberty of thought. He hus won a largo following in tho Presoyterian chureh and has conducted his campnign with such wisdom and dis- cretion that even those who do not yot see their way to the conclusions which ho has reached aro disposed to tront him with respeci and consideration. It is believed by his supporters that he will come out of the ordeal at Portland with flying colors. Dr. Briggs is now on his way to the general assembly, where he will speak in his own bahall, His defense of the advanced views which he has enunci- ated is expected to be tho effort of his life and will undoubtodly bo an import- ant contribution to the theological liter- ature of the timo. The result of the action taken upon his case will have a decided influence upon tha policy of the A STATUE TO SHERMAN. Reprosentative Kilgore of Toxas has made another bid for unenviable notos oty by antagonizing, on a meve techni- cality, a proposed appropriation for the erection in the city of Washington of a statue to tho late General Sherman, It need hardly be said that the Texas con- gressman did service in the confodorate army, and whother or not he ever at- tained to the vank of a “brigadier,” it is certain that he retuins all the dislike of union soldiers which is ordinarily as- cribad to that class. Kilgore has made himself notorigins by his persistent oppo- sition to every proposition” for ths benefit or the honor of the men who proserved tho tnton, and ho never losos an opportunity to show that in spirit he is still in the list of tho un-recon- structed. Whether this congress votes an ap- propriation for a statue to Genoral Shor- man or not, such astatuo will ba erected at the seat of government. The illus- trious soldier whose achiovements shed imperishable gloTy -upon his @ountry-— whose mareh to thesea supplied o chap- ter to the military history of the vepub- lic which will constitute one of its gront- est attractions for all futuy Ations —will not lack a memor his achiovements, and which tingly symbolize the affection and ad- mivation of his countrymen.

Then would arise the question whothor the prineiplo adopted by the democratic convention of 1856 should -provail, namely, that the candi- date having = elear majority is ontitled to the nomination.

There is not the htoest doubt of it. The American clippor shin of fifty y ago was the wonder and admivation of the maritimo nations. The American yacht, after an unbroken sories of quests over the English yacht extending over forty years, still maintains its su- premacy.
