Tho London Mail tolls ns somo plain truths that it would bo woll for Un to ponder. It says: Tho slavo drivers of today in America aro tho millionaires and tho mon who oporato tho trusts, Thoy aro tho fat toning ogros whom tho pooplo will bayo to destroy or bo dostroyea by. Thoy aro tho Simon Logr?os of tho hour. Thoy oporato within tho law, for thoy make tho law. * Tho Amorioan pooplo havo nomo pet phrases with whioh they hko to do soribo England.' Thoy Bay it is feu dal, kingriddon, a holploBS tool of tho aristooraoy, and that sort of thiog. Thoy do not soo tho boam in thoir own ovo. Tho United States ia millionairo ridden. Tho millionaires start and oporato universities, discharging profossors who toaoh coonomio doctrinos of whioh thoy disapprove. Tho millionaires oporato tho logislaturos, and in somo eases tho courts. Thoy run oonaross, and thoy aro quarterod in tho Whit o Houso at Washington, whoro tho Pron i dont, whom they oleotod, docs thoir bidding. Every year a groator poroontago of tho wealth of America goos into tho pookots of tho millionaires. It is a fact that tho sooond million is moro oaBily made than tho.firs?, third than tho sooond, and so on. By tho foroo of attraotion, a dollar naturally gravi tates toward tho largest pile. - The Rookofollora, who. control tho Standard Oil Company, aro absorbing tho woalth of Amorioa at an enormous rato. With tho woalth como politioa' powor and sooial powor. Sooial pres tige is obtainod with a startling rapidi ty. Thirty years ago tho Vandorbilts had no sooial position in Now York, and thoir ohanoos of ovor getting any woro looked upon as poor. In a few short years they havo bought a social prestige-sont round tho ooroor fo.? it as ono Bonds to tho grooor's. This ia .stated not from any opposi tion to tho Vanderbilts, but to mako tho point that what tho/ oan buy any ono else oan buy. If monoy oin bc oxohangod for anything on oarth, it io natural that it should bo moro in de mand than anything on earth. If it will purohaao a divrogard by tho pooplo of how it was obtained, what matters how it was obtainod? By consolidations tho American trusts aro gradually doing away with every oompotition, oxoopt that botweon --u-1. xnum tm.. luuM nuv nauw j OOS. j.in this, of oourso, must bo a raising in prioo of tho commodities and a lover ing of the, wagoe. What has prevdntcd both those things being dono in oxoo?u has boon tho foroo of public opinion.' Sugar, coal, moat and' other nooossitios whioh havo boon cornorod by tho'-trusts, have risen in price through artificial, rentiono to an oxtont that has pdt extra millions into tho pookotp of those who vu'n^rol them- andrwho-havof^'-iwioh properly already that they suffer from a sort of fioanoial indigestion. ? v- Tho aristoorata Of tho Uniood Statoa aro tho corporations, Thoy oonduot thoir forays upon tho pooplo aa did tho robbor barons of old, A corporation of largo capital is in Now Yoik aa sacred as tho'person of tho soyoroign in Ion don. fit can rob, burn, or murdor al most with impunity, and if it wants help all it has to do is to oall out tho state troops to holp lt. Tho last sontonoe may appear tobo au exaggeration, but competing rofio ories have boon burnod down in tho in terest of the Standard Oil company, and even suoh philanthropists nn the part nora of Andrew Oarnogio sont a hand of oivilian "doad shots" to' Homos toad to shoot down strikers. I was thoro at the timo and caw tho corpses. If tho industrial millionaires oan mako and defy tho laws, buy and br ibo Jurios and judges and aongossmon, what is to restrain thom, unless thero ls Borne,] uprising and some enormous ohange? Tho nearest available rome dy for somo of tho abuses will be the govornmont ownership of what tho Amorioans oall -'publie utilitios." Tiloso include the mediums of trans ?tort?tion, tho railways and tho tram ines, eystems of lighting and tho tele graphs and telphoncs now in the hands of private companies. Tho Standard Oil Company built np its monopoly'by controlling tho rail road linea.. Thoso quotod prohibitivo freight rates, to owners rf oil wolls and competing rcfinines and thoy wero driven out of business, and tho Standard Oil Company got thoir wells and plants at their own figures. The Stool trust is now able to pursuo tho samo taotios with rivals through its ntorest in tho railroads' and in stoam ships. Tho opposition to tho looal government ownership of 'public utili ties" is very great, almost insuparable at tho present timo. Thoso who iavor it are oalled "anarchists." A man who thinks that tho communi ty should got tho profit from its "utili tics" is denounoed as one who waves the rod flag of riot. Tho sam) epithet of anarohist is appliod to thoso who bo liovo in the income tax and death du ties. Tho United Statos will not al low an inoome tax becauso it is ('rav olutionary," and tho highest oourt of tho land denounoed it and declared it ! unconstitutional, when it was pat sod. But although you cannot havo so riot ous a'measure as an inoome tax, you may burn a negro alivo if you Uko. In '.his you soo signs of the menov powor. Tho courts re j mt an income tax at tho | behest of tho rich. Nobody owns the negro who is burnod alive, BO it dosen't matter. In tho' old days of . slavery, whon rv nogro was worth $1,000 to his master, they did not burn him alivo. Tho agitation for tho transfor of "publie utilitios" to tho pooplo is not basod on a dosire to get tho dividends so muoh aa it ls to doprivo tho million aires of tho power whioh tho posses sion of thoso "utilitios" givo to them. The mon who own tho railroads in a State own thelogislature and tho jadgoo and the oxeoutive forces. Thoy do this through the magie pasteboard that means freo transportation, through the ?iowor that tho ability to mako lower reight ratos to shippers and manufao I tures gives to thom, by tho voting force of thoir own employes, and' by a hun* I drod other methods, including a hank account on whioh they oan draw oheoki.

VV A?V*V% Vliuu K)\JtAiV^t '? ' ' row a rejoinder Representative ? Floming of Goorgia, who pre sented a resolution for tho in vestigation of tho right of Mas* saohusetts members of congress to hold their seats. Mr. Moody's resolution assorts that a certain class of voters were, disfran chised in Louisiana, thus invali dating tho election of Louisiana representativos. .Mr. Morning's resolution, in part, recition1 "Whereas the constitution of the state of Massachusetts, in contravention of the provision of tho Federal constitution, im poses additional qulifloationsfor suffrage by declaring ?that 'no person shall have tho right to vote who shall not bo able to read tho . constitution in- ; tho English language and write his name. "Resolved, That when the said select committee shall bo appointed it shall be charged with tho furth?r duty of in quiring and reporting, by bills or otherwise, whother the rep resentatives from tho state of Massachusetts aro entitled to membership in this house and wliothor tho, numbor of repre sentativos from said state should not be reduced."' ? i Mr. " Morning is right. His j resolution will expose tho hypo crisy of such men as Moody and will effectually put a stop to tho intended raid . on tho South. There aro other Northern States besides Massachusetts that should bo.investigated. THE following statistics as to illiteracy ' among immigrants to this country have b?en compiled : "Passing on to tho race - items, it . appears that \ Scandinavian immigrants are the best edu cated, less than one in 100 of them being illiterate. English and Scotch immigrants come next, with a little, over ono in 100 of them unable to read and write. Of Irish immigrants 3.2 per cent, only were illiterate; of French, 3.9 por cont*.; of Ger man, 4.1 per cent. ; of Dutch and' Flemish, 7.8 per cent. Tho Ital ian immigrants show the "high est proportion of illiterates, hut there is a marked difference be-' tween those from Northern and those from Southern Italy, for while.15 in every 1?0 is tho illi terate ratio among the former, it is 59 in every 100 am on g th? latter." A businesslike wedding was celebrated ' at Fort Scott, ?Kan., tho other day. The parties wore aged respectively . 71 and 64. Both aro possessed of valuable, property, and ' tho bride is tho towner of several farms. - Before the ceremony an agreomont wag Sigurd to the effeot that each should have control of tho pro perty belonging to each. How ever, the good woman got a lit tle tho better of the dickering. By tho terms of the agreement she is to haye a lifo dmtpr.est in his estate after death, but ho is not given the samo right;< with respect to hers. After "every thing h?d..boen completed com-4 fortably, arid the .two stood ut) and wore married and then'tho' husband attempted to salute his bride. "Go 'way, John," she said; "I an't a-going to let you kiss mo iii public". THE secretary of the Kansas State Temperance so?iety makes large claims as to the growth of 'sentiment in favor of a strict en forcement > of tl\e prohibitory law. In 48 per cont, of ?the 192 towns of tho Btate, with a popu lation of 600 or over, the law is strictly enforced, ho declares; in 13 per cent, there is open and notorious defiance o? tho law. In 48 towns thoro is either open violation of tho law or a more or loss general evasion of it; in 144 tho laws is either strictly or very largely enforced. Half tho 192 towns strictly regard the law it is said, and the situation af fords satisfaction to tho organi zation for which'the report is made. . ..
