THE CHIVALRY that continues to care for a woman who has been proved to be irretrievably bad is as strange as the lack of chivalry that takes a man from a decent woman and makes him forget the dignity that belongs to his own children. There is a sometlfing in the Flack and Hamilton cases that makes most men blush for their sex, and there is no explanation of it in any theory of human influences thus far mapped out. It is true that Sheriff Flack is a Tammany man, but what is the matter with this descendant of Aleck Hamilton ? THE RIGHT TO LOOK NICE. A PREACHER of the Dunkard faith, which holds forth solely in Penn- sylvania, has been silenced because he could not prevail upon the women of his congregation to discard fineries. Poor fellow! He couldn't kill the women, and the Almighty constructed them in that way. Perhaps if the conference would carry their protest against ribbons, bangles, and bustles to heaven they would be more successful, for there the blame rests; yet if they did the Dunkard women would become so unattractive that marriage would be likely to die out. After all, isn’t it a woman's right to be as pretty as she can?

THE MODERN PATRICIAN. HENRY WATTERSON condemns the proposition of the Post that John Wanamaker cannot be a“ sood postma because he sells clothing, or, in other words, is a * shopkeeper. ood deal of democracy about Henry; and on the other hand there is a good deal of the English idea in the make-up of that fine old Irishman, “Larry” Godkin, strange as ‘that seems, If men in trade cannot build themselves into statesmen but must remain “shopkeepers " or something else of the plebeian order, there will be a plentiful: lack of material for the first official positions—for we must remember that none of our offices are disposed of on the hereditary principle, accord- ing to the good old English idea that applies to office above the com- mons, Perhaps, however, there will be an aristocracy of mugwumps directly, and then the “Larry” Godkins will have their day, the same to last till they quarrel themselves to death. THE ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN TRUSTS. HEN A MAN cars two dollars a day and expends one for suste- nance, clothing, and shelter, the one unused is saved-up labor, and as it will purchase some other man’s work, becomes capital. A savings-bank represents many thousands, or tens of thousands, of days’ work on deposit. ‘The borrower gives, as security, his financial credit in the shape of prop- erty, representing previous and crystalized work, and uses the loan in pur- chasing cotton, grain, or cattle, representing farm and plantation labor, He pays also for freightage or transportation labor, to reach a market: A bountiful product there, or elsewhere, reduces val- ues, through favorable condi- tions, as there is.a larger result for the same specific amount of work. A given expenditure of labor fluctuates as it may be plentiful or scanty, and be- comes, nevertheless, a stand- ard and leveler of values. A steam-engine or a water-wheel $a cheaper worker than a man, and for the energy ex- pended costs less for housir nothing for raiment, and little for that mechanical wear called maintenance or repair. At first these become competitors and displacers of work, then servitors to man, by giving their larger product for lesser cost. A machine or structure costing five thousand, and pro- ducing a result during its ex- istence equal to the value of thous: s’ work, the difference to profit, *increment,” or increase of value. Any- thing that outlasts and still produces above its original expenditure goes to accumulation, and becomes capital, as captured labor. ‘The generations that precéded this, who built or contrived anything outlasting their using, have bequeathed us the legacy of their energy, and made the world by so much the richer and more enjoyable by addition to ur resources. ‘The inheritor of the cleared fields or built homestead is the recipient of expended forces that, requiring no repetition, leave the owner free to add and pass new gatherings on to the next. Manual work has its and can only, accumulate its surplusage. This narrow margin, by multiplication of its numbers’ and time, creates what is and is called the wealth of the world."'y2 s ‘The individual whose single strength is unequal to a certain task asks helpfulness of another,” The tivo,"becominy partners, achieve a su where single strength was_a failure. Partnerships, then, are joint contribu tions of direct labor, or labor conserved as capital, and personal experience. Corporations are larger’ partnerships, in, which individuals are selected to supervise and direct for the contmon interest. It requires the simplest force to move. Wheelbarrow. Increase of load and lengthening of traf- fic have developed the freight-car, which is but a scientific wheelbarrow, moved cheaper and surer than was possible by its crude parent. When labor is more plentiful than work the struggle for it lowers its compensa- tion to an unremunerative point. Corporations, like individuals, are sub- ject to the same law, and compete, until the labor invested in the construc- tion of its instrumentalitics is worn by the attrition of little or continued Whad’s der’ mattah ? in d’ pastah.”” I've hed dat critter goin’ on twonny yeah, Go learn d troof ! ten pass comicbooks.com
