Hojonen In tuo Congrcirn tlonallst. Sir Charles Dllko has, In n recent f erles of articles In the Nineteenth Centura, drawn a dark picture of tho political con dition of Europe, and has pointed to the United States as the hope ot the world. The great nations of Europe, he says, are spending their revenues in enormous nr maments, each being determined to outdo the other ; and for the privilege of bully lug each other are curtailing their free dom and retarding their Industrial mid Intellectual development. It is, ol course, possible that distance has 'lent enchant ment to Sir Charles's transatlantic view. lie is apparently not awaro that our pen sion list, a legacy from our late civil war, exceeds In amount tho cost ot the mill- tarv establishment ot so considerable a power as Austria Hungary, and is only ?l(i,000,000 less than that of Germany. Nor has he heard that a dependent pen sion bill was passed by the last Congiess which, if it had not been vetoed by tht president, would have made an end of our boast that ours Is an Industrial civiliza tion, iiiid that we are unopprcsed by the bmdens which the great standing armies of Kurone necessitate. W e should, in fact.be supporting an army of non-combatants at a cost greater than was ever borne by anv nation in times of peace. The sigulllcance of this alarming waste fninoKi.. In its economic and moral aspects. could, however, scarcely be appreciated at a distance. It Is, moreover, ine unac knowledged programme of liberalism in nil limits whore it exists to take a roe- colored view of American conditions. The United States presents an object lesson to the European nnerai, cxempiuynm me working of the reform which he is advo cating. He has Ills eyes constantly di rected across tho Atlantic, and sees there very much what he wants to Fee. It may lie the, extension of the suffrage which lie has at heart. In such a case he Is apt to llud that American prosperity is due to universal suffrage. In tho Norwegian Storthing during a recent debate, lasting for weeks, on the introduction of trial by jury, both the government and the oppo sition pointed to American experience, and drew exactly opposite lessons from 'in tho French Corjis Leijlslatlf similar ly contradictory deductions are constantly being drawn from American history. I once heard the late Jules Favre talk in the chamber as If our country were the veritable Atlantis, a Garden of Eden, tin vexul by problems introduced by the ser pent ; aud ft venerable royalist responded by depicting our social conditions as being horrible beyond compare. He too had read 1) Tocquevllle and perhaps Ban croft, and had derived the impression that our republican experiment was chielly v.-ilimlilii ns n warning example to all States which might be tempted away from the safe paths ot monarcnicai intuition. In the German Reichstag, compliment- arv references to the United States are, I believe, rarer than In any other legislative assembly in Europe, chielly because lew- have the courage 10 run counter iu uis marck's prejudices. 1 have heard the Jewish representative, Sonnemann, editor of aFrankfoit journal, hint iu a speech that things were not mi bad here as Ger man official circles all'ected to believe, and the socialist members also occasionally "point with ptide" to our freedom from the ills that oppress kimi-ridden Europe. Tney boast of our prosperity as it it were only necessary to adopt their measures, in order to make Germany equally blessed. But they deal chielly in generalities, dis tort their facts, if by chance they get hold of any, and subject them to all sorts of wild interpretations. The late Frledrich Kapp had, however, more inllueuce than any one else iu restraining the German admiration for the United States, which existed as a sort of vague sentiment witli the liberals between ISIS and 1S70. He had spent many years in important posi tions in our republic, and had returned home disillusionized and disgruntled. A favorable disposition toward Ameri can democracy being thus, as a rule, char acteristic of liberalism, it is, of course, but natural that conservatism should cherish the opposite sentiment. And there are several circumstances which tend to make the conservative case a strong one. In the first place American competition in agricultural products drives tlie uoble ninu and the country gentleman from their inherited acres, aud makes it impos sible to support the dignity of exalted station on the rents of land tilled by ten ants. This disorganization of the old feudal system naturally aroues hostility ; for no feeling Is bitterer than that which springs from au empty pocket. The revolutionary tendencies of Ameri can pork and wheat have long since, been remarked by European statesmen, and have prompted various measures of de fence and retaliation. Germany lias found our pork unwholesome, aud it is a notori ous fact that it disagrees with all the J i ii Aces and country noblemen. The Irish landlords would have made tho same dis covery, if there were any hope of induc i ii i7 EiiL'Iand to abandon her free trade policy. Statesmen llKe uimisione, who recoLMiize the fact that feudalism Is doom ed, welcome the co-operation ot industrial forces which hasten the day ot me nnera- tion of mankind trom tlie old Dondago : and even a premier o tlie Salisbury type Knows tliat It is a nopeiess ining 10 ugni au'iiiufit a fact. Xo man, however clever, can emancipate himself from tho multi plication lame. a. protective uarrier in the way of a duty ou American wheat would revive the old corn law airitatlon. and make the old privileges and class dis tinctions more insecure than over. The pretense that idleness Is an essential to nobll tv cannot be much longer maintain ed. Tho farmer on the western prairies forces tho British peer to null ott his gloves aud go to work. It is ilrst the younger sons who are reduced to this iiea essitv. but within half a century the eld est will also hftvo been compelled by the sauio agency to conquer his prejudice. His leisure is nlreauy now largely auction. It lie desires to Keep up tne rale ot ex pendlturo which his dignity demands, ho is obliged to invest his money in some thing that payH better than laud. He be gins to watch the stock market ; he inter ests himself: in various niauufacturinir en terprises, in the hope ot llndlug safo and proll table investments ; and If he means to protect himself ngaiust loss, he Is obliged to keen an eyo on the manage meiit of the various concerns ou which lie depends for bis income. In other words, he has descended liom his pedestal, him! taken his place nicu or less reluctantly among the world's workers. And tills half-acknowledged l ruiislormatiou is due to the fact that Ami i lean pork anil wheat which pay no rent- iU nres-i tho value of the same products in Great Britalu, until they too refuse to pay rent. In Germany this liilluencQ would bo as strongly felt, if Bismarck's high tariff did not. ror a wane. Keen tne countrr nob e man safe. But oven there the social revo lution is In progress, and the American republic is felt to be n greater menace to tlie existing aider of things than France mid Russia witu tueir millions ot sol diers. Thero I still another nspect of this fiurs'lou which is worth emphasizing, and mat is the inllueuce ol the emigrated Eu ropean upon his countrymen at homo. Xo one who 1ms not actually observed It can estimate tho political effect of "tho lettor irora America. ' in -Norway, it is scarce v nu exaggeration to sav that It has been ono of the chief agents In liberalizing tho country. And it is not only iu Xorwnv that this process of political education Is iu progress, in an counir e.s or Europe which have sent us emigrant), a similar growth toward advanced liberalism has Fit EE PRESS. FRF DAY, AUGUST 19. 1887. been perceptible. Hundreds of thousands or rather millions of these letters annual ly cross tlie Atlantic, and go Into every parish and village, stimulating every one who reads them to reflection concerning the causes which have produced astute of society so different from that to which he has been accustomed. Iu most cases, they awaken, no doubt, a desire to shako the dustot the Old World, witli all its worm eaten Institutions, from off one's feet, and to go in quest of a more favorable fortune in the Xew World. But tho-o who are In a position to do this are, after all, the ex ceptions. Thnso who remain behind are, for my present purpose, the more Import ant. They begin to feel ft certain Impa tiencu nt the venerable abuses which for merly they incepted as matters of course, and to give ear to all sorts of new theo ries of government. As they usually luck the mental training, requisite for testing tlie soundness of new political doctrines, they naturally rush to extremes, anil a large number ot them fall into tlie hands of socialists and other ladicnl agitators. The mere fact that there existsa gieatnnd prosperous nation beyond the si-i, which gets along admirably without kings and armies and privileged clashes, tends to convince every thinking man that these ornamental institutions, which he has been taught to revere as the very corner stone ot the State, ale wholly superllu ou. When once this skepticism lias found lodgment In the mind, other and more dangerous conclusion are apt to follow. There Is no doubt in my mind that the re cent spread of socialism among the lower classes in Germany Is, iu some meas ure, due to tills lellex Ililllienco ot the American immigrant upon the father land. There are other cause., of course, which lie more on the surface, and which every one is sure to seize upon, But in so far as America Is responsible for this propagandisin, she Millers a sufficient penalty in receiving, sooner or later, the converts which she has unintentionally made. And it is in this latter capacity as tlie lumber-room and garbage barrel of Europe, where all human refuse and odds and ends that do not lit into the old svs tem can be disposed of that she is of the greatest value to the ancient monarchies. She has relieved them of that most dan gerous of all problems that of over-population. Tlie great ports of Liverpool, Havre and Bremen, like so many safety valve., have alfotded outlets to the superfluous steam, which otherwise might have ex ploded the kettle. The majority of the restless, radical and discontented spirits which could only be kept in order by the enormous armies, standing on the lid, have made their escape to this side of the Atlantic.'aud are here ranging about and stirring up mischief to the extent of their power. The habit of discontent has grown to bo constitutional with them. They are trying to avenge in their new home what they suffered in the old. But there is a limit even to American patience in this matter of suffering vicarious letri bution for the sins of Europe, and that limit has now been reached. m:v iiAMi-siiiiti: kaii.ko&o fioht The llonton and Maine I'eoplo flcn a Ho ml for a New Kranch. CoKCOltn, X. II., Aug. 14. It given out to-day on good authority that yesterday some of the leaders of the Boston and .Maine, movement, among whom were Frank Jones aud Charles Sinclair, signed a bond to immediately construct a rail- load from Alton Bay along Lake Winne-pi-aitkee to Eaconia. to be called tlie Lake Slioie railroad, in cao a charter is grant ed by tlie present Legislature. In case of failure to Imild, the forfeiture is supposed to be about WO.000. This is regarded as a shrewd move on the part of tlie Maine people, ns a charter was granted two years ago to thoie now identified on the side of the Concord road, and no step toward construction lias ever been taken. Sa gacious politicians think that this move will undoubtedly gain votes for tlie Hazeu bid from the lake section of the State. A TIIKII.I.INC INCIDENT Narrow Ksmpo of a Man From the Horse Shoe ItapIdH at Niagara. Lying close to the brink of the Horse Shoe Falls at Niagara, beyond the old Terrapin bridge, there Is 9 big rock. Be tween this and the bridge there are three log. On Tuesday morning J. F. Neville of Montreal ventured to walk out on the logs to the rock. After going out some distance on the logs he slipped oil' and fell into the rapids. Instantly iie was carried under the Jogs and dashed against the third log, head llrst. Though somewhat stunned lie caught hold ot the log ond nung ou wiin nis leet projecting over the brink. By a superhuman effort he drew himself up along the log until lie was about three feet from the brink, where he secured a footing. Neville was rescued trom ins perilous position by a teamster who happened to bo in the viclnitv with his horse. The harness was stripped from the team, and the line, check rein and other straps buekl'-d together until a Hue ot sufficient length to reach the un fortunate man was made. It was tlirown out with a noose on one end, which Ne vlllo caught aud succeeded in gettiugover his head and under Ins arms, lie was then drawn to a place of safety alter hav ing been iu the rapids lor nearly an hour. ltccre allon, Ll'rom liurilette. s soon as the summer vacation was come and tlie weather was torridly warm, away from the city's confusion and hum ho fled, to the rest of the farm. The scent ot the clover with joy he enhnles, he leaps o'er the fence and he shrieks as on silvery raits lie his person impales, and fractures the dome of ids breeks. The sound nt tho supper bell makes his heart glad, for his nunger i wuuisii ami Keen, but the lllilK has been skimmed anil tho bread Ir. l uml and the berries are not to be seen. Ho sleeps in n bed that is inhabited, and the maiiress is uneu Willi old hay; so forget ing his prayers, he grumbles and swears, and lights until the dawn of the day. Ho is called to arise with the lark, aud ho hies to bathe in the trough at the well : when 13 hired men are through witli it, then the towel Is his for a spell. Hisnb lutions are done, he goes for a run through tho nwadows to verdant and trim, when the bull comes along, with his imHtnui. song, and that settles the meadows for htm. With pleasure ho sees the indus trious bees and liiidstliein quite harmless to be ; but he finds it is warm when he happens to swarm some hornets that live in a tree. Ho goes every place till he poisons his lace with tho leaves of rhus toxicodendron, and ho looks like a man who is under the ban, for having been out on a big bender on. Ho helps to make hay, but lie gets iu tho way, and gets ploughed down the back with a rake; then he goes to tlie brook, for pond lilies to look, and bites himself twice with a snake. In sorrow ho cries, with tears iu his eyes, "I'm tho wretchedest man amotig men ; if my life can hold on till this summer is gono, I'll never leave Brooklyu again." TWENTY-TWO MEN DROWNED.

No one was surprised, therefore, when the verdict in tho easu was exactly the revcrso of what Rldlleberger desired it should be. SK.VATOK IIIDDl.KIlEIKlnn. But everybody was very much surprised, and, moreover, very much excited at tho spirit in which tho senator took the verdict, and his pccullnr manner of calling public at tention to his anger. At Ridillolierger's sug gestion the prisoner who figured in tlie case was hauled through the streets of the town with n placard around his neck containing some pretty severe and caustic reflections on tho judge. Troops of peoplo followed tua prisoner on his travels, most of them highly amused nt the curious turn an old personal quarrel had taken, but many of thorn very indignant at tho nap.Tslons put upon the judge. Finally ono of tho judge's frl mis went to tell him whnt was going on. Ti-uminutis nfterward p'llieeuicn were i mining nmund looking f'T Senator Riddlelierger. Ho was found nnd summoned bel'oro his oldenrmy, tlm justice, to answer for contempt of cr.urt. There was a tumult in tho streets nmund the court lioilso nnd excited penpl el iniiiied nt tho doors for admission. After he had given Mr. Riddlebcrger un opportunity to mako au explanation, which did not appear to bo satisfactory, tho judge lined tlie senator fij and committed him to jail for ten days. Protests nnd further attempts nt explana tion wero in vain. Judge Newman left the touch iu anger and Riddlel"rger was hurried off to a cell. Tho excitement wa". tremen dous ns tlio nows spread ai unit 1 town, nnd pmtisanship ran rampant. Rnldleberger's friends swore- they would get him out before midnight if they hnd to burn the jail to do it. Upon hearing these threats Judge New man's friends vowed they would defend the jail by force if necessary, nnd many of them volunteered their services to tliesherilf. All Riddloberger's influence nvniled him nothing iu ids elforts for release. As darkness settled down on the town tho senator was making a fair meal oil' prison rations nnd preparing to make himself comfortable for tho night. Ho was very anxious that his friends should not step beyond hounds of tho law in manifesting their sympathy for him. MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS. Hnrmoiilotm Meeting of the State Com mittee at lloston.
