CHEAP LIVING.
, The fall in the price during the last ten
years of nearly all the necessaries of life has
been great in England as well as in this
country. It is found that bread which cost
9d. in 1876 can now be bought for 6d. in
the west end of London and 5d. in the less
stately quarters of the city. Butter is near
ly thirty per cent, lower than' it was a
few years ago. . Tea, sugar and coffee have
come down in price, sugar especially. Fruit
and vegetables, are much cheaper than they
used to be. Meat holds its own more firmly
than the other articles of food, but even meat
has been forced down a point or two under
the pressure of foreign competition and home
complaints. The change in the prices of
clothing has been astonishing. Trousers are
selling at the east end for 8s. lid. per pair,
and boots are so low in price that the second
hand dealers are giving up the trade in de"
spair.
Honse rent has also been greatly lowered
in London. In certain localities, such as
Clapham, Heme Hill and Feckham, the fall
has been from 30 to 40 per cent. The most
widespread rednction is noted in the rent
paid by the genteel poor. For the custom
of this class there has been a fierce compe
tition. Now houses are offered "with slow
combustion stoves, gas, cooking apparatus,
Venetian blinds, lavatories and bath rooms
with hot and cold water," all for 28 a
year.
All this is encouraging to those who have
to work for a living, but, as the " London
News points out.it is not safe to rejoice over
much in the apparent cheapening of food,
dress and lodging. If the wages of the pro
ducer have fallen proportionately with the
decline in the price of things he must buy,
be is not a gainer. Wages, it is known,have
sometimes gone down with the products,
but the News is probably right in thinking
that on the whole the laborer is better off
to-day than he was ten years ago. It believes,
however, that the bread-winners are no w less
concerned about saving than they are about
having more things for their money. They
want more of the good things of life, and
they are trying to find out how to get
them.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Now that Faddy Byan has been "knocked
ont" we suppose that business can go on.
The Register makes a moving appeal for
Democratic harmony in this city. It is
needed.
The great strike in Chicago has completely
fizzled out." Few more foolish and un
necessary strikes than this have occurred this
year.
Sumac gathering is becoming a recognized
industry in parts of Virginia. This year the
quantity gathered is unusually large, some
gatherers having made $500 each by collect
ing the leaves and branches of the shrub,
which they call "ahoomake."
The farmers and others who hswled for the
taxation of oleomargarine didn't see just how
their scheme would work. A far larger rev
enue is likely to be received from the oleo
margarine law than was anticipated. It will

The Salvation army in Chicago is very live
ly and vociferous. One of its songs in which
the joys of salvation are pictured contains
the following impressive lines:
I never shall forget the day,
Happy as a whale, (Repeated)
When Jesus washed my sins away,
Happy as a whale.
I know my sins are all foreiven,
Hapny as a whale, (Repeated)
And I am on mv way to heaven,
Happy as a whale 1
It seems to be hard work to accumulate
personal property in poverty-stricken New
York. In 1870 the assessed valuations were:
Real estate $742,103,075, and personal estate
$305,385,374. For the present year, 1886,
the total assessed valuations are: Real estate
$1,303,941,065 and personal estate $217,027,
221. Thus the increase in the assessment of
real estate since 1870 has been $461,837,990,
while the decrease in the assessment of per
sonal estate has been $88,258,153.
It has just been discovered that Royal E.
House, the inventor of the House printing
telegraph, in common nse thirty or more
years ago, invented and patented a telephone
so long ago as 1868. The Scientific Ameri
can says he did, and gives a description of
his instrument and a cnt of his model placed
in the patent office, bnt sines destroyed by
the fire in that office some years ago. Mr.
House designated his invention an "electro
phonetic receiver," but the Scientific Ameri
can says it is "a perfect telephone, immeas
urably superior to anything shown in the Bell
patents of 1876 or 1877," and predicts that
the Bell telephone patent is now probably
broken. Not yet.
A new "Anti-Patriotio league" has been
formed in Paris. This sooiety will not inter

league," but aims at the establishment of an
international republic At its first meeting
the committee charged with the elaboration
of manifesto was furnished with the follow
ing leading articles of creed: "No fatherland!
No political boundaries! ' A universal repub
lic 1" The manifesto is to be distributed
among the revolutionary patties of France,
Germany, Russia, Italy and Spain, and it is
hoped that the Anti-Patriotio league will as
semble in congress on the occasion of the
Paris exhibition in 1889.
The Supreme court of Massachusetts has
affirmed the sentence of conviction against
the barber Dextra, on the ground that "keep
ing open shop or workhouse on the Lord's
day for the purpose of doing business with
the public indiscriminately is an offense in
itself. The legislature intended by this stat
ute to keep the ordinary places of traffio,
business and work dosed on this day, so that
persons who desired to relax fram labor and
business to attend to private and pnblio wor
ship, might not be disturbed by those who
chose to pursue their worldly business and
avocations in open shop." The opinion states
that "we are not called upon to pass on the
question whether it is a work of necessity to
cut hair and shave beards on the Lord's day.
That question does not arise in the present
case."

"What I Believe," by Count Leon Tolstoi,
translated from the Russian by Constantine
Popoff, is now published. The name of
Tolstoi stands high as the author of "War
and Peaoe" and "Anna Karenine." Dur
ing the last sevea years he has with
drawn himself from the world and devoted
himself to the teachings of Christ. Im
pressed with Christ's words concerning the
duty of living a life of unselfish toil for
the benefit of others, he has been trying
to devote himself to ministering to his fel
lows. In this work he expresses the prin
ciples and convictions by which he is now
ordering his life. The whole scope and
purpose of Tolstoi's life are changed and
he relates how it was that the change was
effected in him. There are many thoughts
and sentiments which cannot but find a
strong echo in the hearts of readers who
believe in the regeneration of humanity
through the spirit and teachings of Christ.
This work and "My Religion" draw hu
manity nearer together and show them the
spirit of disinterestedness and self-sacrifice.

CORRESPONDENCE.
The 8alons or Minneapolis.
To the Editor of the Jodbnai. and Couaiaa:
A great deal has been said through the pa
pers about the growth and prosperity of Min
neapolis and mnch more remains to be said.
But your readers may find a few facts con
cerning its saloons both interesting and sug
gestive. In the spring of 1882 there were
252 licensed saloons here. During that year
the number increased to 371, and the next
year to 515. This hardly tells the whole
story, however, for there were scores of
smaller dives selling liquor without license
and everything seemed to be done to make
the business easy and comfortable for those
engaged in it. The license fee was only
$100 and even then it was customary to make
commutation so that a man opening his sa
loon in the middle of the year wonld only
have to pay half price. Low concert halls
and gambling dens flourished openly and
with the actual approval of the administra
tion, police protection being furnished so
that They need not be disturbed by intruders.
Tins evil state of affairs finally aroused re
spectable people so that they combined to
cleanse the city. The result was that Mayor
Ames and his "wide-open policy" were bur
ied under a majority of 6,000 votes given to
elect Mayor Pillsbury and a council was
chosen in thorough sympathy with reform.
That was in 1884. This new administra
tion raised the license fee to $500. They
also confined the sale of liquors within "ac
tive patrol limits;" i. e., within an arbitrary
line beyond which it was not found necessary
to send a patrol except on special call. The
existing law forbidding the sale of liquor
within a mile of the State university, and
other similar restrictions, were also revived
and enforced. The result was that not less
than five-sixths of the territory covered by
the city was practically prohibition ground,
79 saloonB outside the patrol limits
being closed up, while - inside the
line the high' license plan closed
135 more such establishments. - The
515 saloons that had been previously recog
nized by la w were thus diminished at once to
278, while the scores of unlicensed places
were rigorously closed, with those few excep
tions that always succeed in escaping the
most vigilant exercise of law. The concert
halls and gambling dens were rigidly sup
pressed. During the second year of Mayor
Fillsbnry's administration the city enjoyed a
most remarkable growth; and at its close its
population was nearly twice as great as when
he was inducted into office. Yet the number
of saloons had increased only from 278 to
298, which paid into the citv treasury the
sum of $149,000 tax, as over against the
sum of $451,000 previously received from
more than double the number of saloons.
Now why did not this admirable state of
things continue! Why did not the reform so
well begun go on to still better achieve
ments? One reason was that the Fillsburys
were capitalists; and although i . was conced
ed that they treated their employes kindly.
even to the extent of sharing with them the
surplus gains of their great mills, yet the
prejudices of the foreign laborers especially
were excited and promises or the most ex
travagant natnre were made and believed in
by them; as, for instance, that every one of
them should have a clear title given him to
the land his house stood on; that each labor
er should get $2.50 a day; that the millers
and other capitalists would be compelled to
divide, etc. Meanwhile the third party
prohibitionists, with well-meant but
sadly misguided zeal, not only
kept np their organization, thus withdrawing
a portion of tne vote tnat snouia nave gone
to the support of a decent administrati:n,but
some of them actually urged people who
would not vote their ticket to vote for Ames
on the theory that the worse matters became
the sooner wonld anti-saloon Republicans be
compelled to come .into the prohibition
ranks. The result of all this Was that last
spring Mayor Ames was re elected in room
of Mayor Pillsbury by a majority running up
into the thousands.
The council, however, has held -firmly to
the principles of high license and the patrol
limit, although the Mayor has done his best
to break down these restrictions. Concern
ing Dr. Ames, it should here be said that he
is an excellent surgeon, a man of warm and
generous impulses and the very "prince of
good follows," only he wants a "wide open
policyj" reckless of good morals and the true
welfare of the public. The doctor, more
over, is ambitious and wanted to be chosen
Governor of this proud young common
wealth. He has, therefore, used every art
and influence that could be imagined to ac
complish that aim; and while his claim was
repudiated by an overwhelming majority in
Minneapolis, he came very near succeeding
through the special exertions made outside;
the Republican majority for McGill only be
ing about 2,600 a great falling off from the
majority of about 41,000 gi en for Blaine as
President. Here again appeals to the labor
prejudices had force; and also the third party
boast of having diverted 12,000 votes. We
rejoice that a good Governor is chosen; bnt
our city mourns that it must keep a bad
Mayor another year, of whom it wonld have
been rid had the people placed him :n the
gubernatorial chair! E. R. Y.

Last April my horse was attacked with pneumonia.
We all thought he could not live. Being a pet
horse, we did everything possible to save it. The
disease soon assumed a typhoid form and the doc

tled in his feet and he could not stand upon tliem.
We tried several preparations to help the hoofs.
Hearing of your Ointment I purchased a box. and
assure you it worked wonders in tnis case. AU of
