. . , Kansas and New York.
Some time since the New York Even-
ing Post made this editorial remark:
‘fWe do not want any more states till we
cancivilize Kansas." This unkind say-
ing arouses the ire of Mr. J. W. Gleed,
' acitlzen of the fair (hasshopper State,
and he comes back at The Post hand-
mlyinThe Forum in a papa enti-
tled “Is New York More Civilized Than
Kansas!”
Bohemia; statistii s and clinches his
mm with figmes and comes out
trimmpbantly in the stunning that New
York cannot begin to stand alongside
Kansas iuthe contest for real true blue
civilisation with no nonsense about it.
Only ode institution of Kansas Mr.
Glued is disposed to apologize for, and
that is the Populist party. But he tells
us thef“many conscieuiiums and thought-
fnl ddherents"of that new party have
seen the error of thcir ways. a statement
which is herébylreferred to members of
’ the Populist party in Known for com-
ment. “The Populists are and always
have been in the minority." writes Mr.
Gleed, which reminds one of the. famous
defense, “It was such a very little one."
The writer recalls to his readers the fact
that the election of Mr. Peder was one
of the fa senatorial elections in the
country that were absolutely free from
bribery. Before Peder was elected sen-
ator he gave no money and promised no
ofllces.
New York has four times the popula-
tion of Kansas. With this she has 20
times as many paupers and 1,150 fewer
miles of railroad. With four times the
population New kYork has nearly nine
timesasmsuy convicts in the peniten~
tiaries. In Kansas four-fifths of all
children between 18 and 7 years of age
are enrolled in the schools-in New York
city less than one-half. All the same,
no out without a collar is allowed to run
at large in any city in New York. and
we venture to say that Kansas has never
yet passed a cat collar law. Against
that fact what does it matter that Kan~
sue spends more money proportionally
on her public schools than New York
«108?
In the following paragraph Mr. Glued
strikes out front the shoulder:
Society in Kansas no doubt lacks ritual and
recalls. Mr. Astor, formerly of New York.
has moved to London, bought a newspaper
and baited his book for a peerage or its equiv-
alent. He has abandoned his nullvccolintr)’.
There is no complaint about this. lint Mr.
Astor speaks slightingly of (‘blcauo because
maids instead of men answer the doorbells
there. What would Mr. Astor say of Kansas?
Thereagreat many refined, cultivated, Intel-
ligent ladies, heads of households, answer their
own doorbells. asdid Mr. Astor‘s grandmother

To those who indulge in the luxury of
Mt end reflection this age is the
lugtht world has ever seen. Without
making any claims to a near approach of
the millennium, it can be stated without
fear of contradiction that the world has
made a longer stride toward it than in
any 200 years in its previous history.
A men need not be of more than mid-
dleage to have uen‘steam conquered,
electricity tamed and the machine stead-
ily but with marvelous cunning crowd
labor from the places it had occupied for
1,800 years. He has witnessed the filling
up with events as momentous and thrill-
ing as any on record the" most interest-
ing page in the history of the greatest
republic the world has ever seen. And
what a galaxy of brilliant names has
dropped the sword, the portfolio and the
pen and passed before him to the silent
land! There are Irving,~ Thackeray,
Dickens, Tennyson, Hawthorne, Cooper,
Willis, Poe. Whittier, Bryant, Longfel-
low and Webster, Clay. Lincoln. Grant,
Sherman, Wellington, Palmerston, Mav
caulay, Carlyle. Although their works
live for future generations, it is indeed a
privilege to have seen and known some
of them.
But what the middle aged man of to-
day has seen is no more interesting or
momentous than that which he is howl
seeing. Political economy is being re-
written, and never have Lowell's words.
"The times demand new manners and
new men," sounded with so much force.
It is of course as useless to deny some of
the truths embodied in Adam Smith's
doctrines as to deny the laws of gravita-
tion, but new inferences are being drawn
from them. The competitive system, for
indtance, which has existed tor centuries,
is rapidly disintemating. It has prac-
tically been done away with already in
the railway and telegraph world and is
being succeeded by amalgamation or
combination in some form in other great
industries. And, disguise it as we may,
this co-operution of capital and of labor
as well is simply one form of pure so-
cialism. It In interesting to reflect upon
where and when it will end—whether it
will ultimately stifle enterprise and self
reliance or lead to a far more advanced
stage of general welfare.
The evolution in the religious and ed-
ucational world for the past 50 years is
likewise remarkable. ,The facts that a
Roman Catholic priest recently preached
a sermon to the students of Harvard uni-
versity and that a movement is on foot
in Europe for a union of Jews and Chris-
tiansfnrnish floodl‘fbr interesting thought
and compelled) with the general {cellos
within the memory of the adult genera-
tiou. .As to eduéstidh, it is enough to
note the fact that the method of hear-
ing the pupil repeat that which it had
learned by heart, which prevailed until
quite recently, is now considered bar-
barous. while textbooks are used more
for reference than anything else.
Altogether these be mighty interesting
times. It is worth something to live in
them and be a partof them. If 50 years
of Europe are better than a cycle of Ca-
thay, to paraphaee the pod. then the
past 50 years of our own country are bet-
ter than a ( yc is of all else 1n the past.
The Corey Movement.
The peripotetic bands of men which
have been marching on to Washington
from all parts of the country present a
most melancholy spectacle. No man of
heart or brains can ridicule such ade-
plorable and pathetic disturbance.
There has never been a popular dis-
content without a cause for it, and it is
the duty of congress to study this cause
and try to provide a remedy just as car-
nestly as if it were a cry of distress from
Wall street. It is not enough to assume
that these so called industrial armies are
mostly tramps, vagabonds and criminals.
Even if they are, the responsibility is
little less, and if they are not—if they
are people who cannot find bread or
cmployniei1t~then it is no time to shout
against paternal government. Whether
paternalism be good or bad, it is foolish
to retrace when in the midst of the
stremn.
Let cases of lawlessness and threats of
the mob be punished with vigor and se-
verity, no matter how they may be dis-
guiscd.
But the industrial disease which alone
has given tho Corey movement strength
and those taking part in it the sympathy
of the heart of the country must have a
cause. Let congress cease its bickering,
its factional fighting and snarling, and
endeavor to apply a remedy

The Age of Soul.

torial on the age of steel. Tie well,

The individual who should undertake
to live on ordinary baker's bread would
starveto death in a short time. When
we fall ill from theelfecte of inaulficient

By the iniquitous system known to drug-
gists as “substituting" our very medicines
are adulterated, too, so that they do not
have the eifect intended. This system
of wholesale murder would worry the
druggist and chemist so they could not
sleep nights if this were not the age of
steal. '
There is scarcely a textile fabric on tht i l 0
