are active in temperance work will not

As Italian woman is said to have
given birth to six children at one time,
something altogether unparalleled in
history. _
Tub,.Cincinnati saloon-keepers, after
lighting the law for two Sundays, sensibly
concluded that it was best to obey
and consequently their doors were closed
yesterday.
Tub Servian Chancellor has decided
to tax bustles, taking the ground that
they were unnecessary articles of luxury.
He might have added, and a cause of
deformity.

spirits of the Chicago Anarchists by
writing them n letter which closes with
the cry, "Down with the ballot box.
Long live the social revolution." Anarchy
has lost the terror it once had, and
Most is a harmless fool.
Cannot Carry N'mr York.
The New York Sun publishes an interview
with Washington politicians in
which it is assorted that Cleveland cannot
carry New York, and intimates that
Whitney could were he the nominee,
because he is not in sympathy with the
President's ultra tarilf ideas. One man
itf made to say that there is some unwritten
history back of that which is
hound to come out before long. "Tlio
relations between Vilas and Whitney,"
says ho, "are not similar to those which
existed between David and Jonathan or
Damon ami Pythias. I believe the President
himself has doubts of his ability to
carry New York, but believes that by his
tarili' ideas he can make inroads on the
Republican column in the Northwest that
will otl'set the loss of the Empiro State,
lie is so stubborn that it would be ridiculous
to Hay that he was under any man's
influence but his own, but it is certain
that he leans towards Vilas' idea. Ilis
selection of a Democrat from Illinois as
his choice for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court was a. part of his bid for
Northwestern support. Vilas believes
that the Kepublican Northwestern column
is not impregnable. The idea is
delightful totlie President's mind.
He would be pleased beyond measure
if his Administration could receive
the indorsement that would
be given it by his re-election. He
would bo delirious with joy if that indorsement
could bo obtained, notwith
standing the objections of New York.
Thorn is no sentimentality in his composition.
He does not value old friendships.
He has changed iiis friends about
as often jus he has changed his suit of
clothes. Those who were most eager for
him to be made SheriH'of Krio county
wore not his most enthusiastic supporters
when he was a candidate for Mayor
of Butlalo; and those who hotly desired
^ him to be the Chief Magistrate of that
city were rather lukewarm when ho wos
.a candidate for Governor of that State.
Men who furnished the sinews of war to
make the tight in Ohio and in New
York in his behalf when he run for the
Presidency, with possibly two exceptions
? one in Western Pennsylvania
and the other in
New York City ? would see
him as far in shoel,' this time as a pigeon
could llv in a week before they would
put up a dollar to help him. No one
knows this better than Cleveland. He
has made.sure of the South by giving it
all that it has asked for nud by ottering
free-trade doctrines to its delighted
Mlt'orisis. in? would uiir ui puuimi ma
old Statu because it lion not, in hit* estimation,
given him tlio enthusiastic
support he thinks ho is entitled to. If
lm cannot have the crown of CV-sar, then
welcome the example of Samson. I fear
that in his defeat will fall the pillars of
the Democratic temple. No party can
atTord to have its fate so indissolubly
hound up with the fortunes of any one
man, and the PeiJocratic party can least
nfiord it of all."
Legit Itiuiry of Sluvu MnrrlnBim.
Judge Tuley, of Chicago, has rendered
a peculiar decision in regard to
the legitimacy of children horn in slavery,
which arose out of a contested
will case. Jaiues Washington, a slavo
of General Thomas Marshall, of Mason
county, Ky., married a slavo named
Liza and from their union sprang two
children, Liza ami Elizabeth. In 1832
James escaped, going to Huron, Ohio,
and there lie made arrangements to buy
his wife and two children from their
master. But while ho was paying for
them his wife and tho child Liza died,
and their master, in consideration of tho
sum already paid, gave him Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, however, soon left him, and
after wandering over Ohio and Indiana,
came to Chicago, where she was married
in 1S44. Her husband and children
died, anil in 18S0 she, too, passed away,
, leaving property by will, it is claimed,
to Betty Kilvery, a white girl, who had
been her companion for somo years.
James Washington, after tho death of
his wife, Eliza, married again and had
several children. Tho eldest of these,
a daughter, married William II. M.
Bond and had throe children. These
three children stepped in and contested 1
tho will, claiming it to bo a forgery and
that they were the legal heirs of Elizabeth.
But Judge Tuley decided that |
Elizabeth was an illegitimate child and ,
could have no heirs but those of her I.
own body. Tho ground of the decision
is tlial, slaves being chattels, no Jcgal i
uiarriago was ixxoiible any more than
real estate can marry real estate.
Tho decision was received with surprise
by the lawyers, and the ease will
be promptly appealed. Certainly such
on obviously unjust decree caunot stand.
It is claimed by tho defense that whatever
may have been the status of a slave
marriage prior to tho war, tlio effect of
ine emancipation rrociamnuon ana uie
the Constitutional amendments was to
rcHtore to tho slaves all those rights of
which they had previously been deprived.
Such, undoubtedly, was the
moral design of tho President who issued
the proclamation.
Capital ittul Labor.
In discussing tho question as to
whether capital gets too much, Mr. Edward
Atkinson, tho celebrated statistician,
says that the price of an article is
not llxcd by the labor alonu which is
expended in making it, or the wages
paid for the labor of making it, but by,
in addition to tho labor or wages, the
capital invested in mills, machinery,
power and raw materials. Ho, for instance,
sets up a hypothetical cotton
mill in which $1,000,000 are invested by
its owners. He puts to work in it 950
operatives, who rectyve on an average
$H)0 per year. Tho wages paid amount
to $205,000 annually, and the net protit.s
to tho proprietor are, at 0 per cent,
$00,000. That is to say, counting the ;
wages of labor as all clear profit, the <
employes of the mill get nearly five !
times as much as the employer. (
Tiie Philadelphia Tdojmph in coin- '
menting on the above remarks that the
only real question, however, is, Can
there he any just limitations fixed to the
honestly earned profits of capital, which
are such profits as are realized after labor
has been paid that which is universally
agreed is a fair, equitable wage? There
in something to be considered besides
the capital, the machinery, ^ud the raw
materials mentioned by Mr. Atkinson.
Quito as important as these, and for
which there should be the mcfre liberal
reward or profit, are the enterprise and
risk of the employer and his ability to
extend his operations. It is to be recollected
that tho 950 men receive their
$500 a year each out of Mr.
Atkinson's" hypothetical cotton mill
solely lnscause of tho proprietor's
enterprise and courage in risking his
million of dollars in its possible success.
Tho employes Uike not one cent's worth
of risk in tho business. They are not
partners in tho losses, but in tho profits
only. Indeed, though their wages rej>resent
tho largest part of the losses, they 1
get them all the same. There is not one
of them who need lie awake at night, to
keep compnny with their employer, because
cotton goods are a drug on the
market and are being sold in great blocks 1
in the auction rooms at less than the
cost to manufacture them. Vet in the
cotton, woolen, iron, steel, or any other
manufacturing business that is a condi- 1
tion of afiairs likely to happen not infrequently.
Thatjthc risksofcapitalistsarogreatmav 1
be seen from the statistics presented the
other night in tipublic lecture by Joseph
II. Walker, of Worcester, Mass. Worcester,
it is to be considered, is an old ;
town, with old established businesses; 1
but Mr. Walker savs that, of every bun
dred men in business tliere in im;>, zd
wont out in live yenrs, 50 in ten years,
and 07 in fifteen years, and in nearly all
wises going out meant simply failure". In
1840 there were Hi) prominent inanu- ;
facturers in Worcester, who were the
great capitalists of their day and neighborhood,
14 of whom failed or retired
without property, and of the entire 30
the surviving children of only three have
any property, or died leavinganv.^In 1878
there were 170 persons engaged in 10 of
the leading manufacturing industries as
owners, and only 15 of the entire 170
were sons of manufacturers. Of the .'50
manufacturers of 1810, 28 began jus journeymen,
while o?the 170 of 1878, 101 began
as journeymen. Some of them were
the sons of poor farmers, the others were
the sons of machinists, carpenters and
blacksmiths.
There is, no doubt, too commonly
abroad a spirit of antagonism to capital";
but, if capital cannot be wholly justified
in its large profits, at least it should have
full and fair consideration given it for
its enterprise and its courage in taking
such extraordinary risks as it is compelled
to take. It should similarly be
given full credit for tliefact that it is the
source of employment; and that, while
it gives the means of comfortable living
to the great hosts of labor by its investments
inactive industries, it is fairly entitled
jto liberal reward. When it is
recollected that the capitalists of to-day,
especially our manufacturers, were originally
generally laborers or merchants,
working themselves in mill or shop for
much lower wages than tliev now pay to
others in their old places, laborers and
mechanics and operatives should be the
last to grudge them the prosperity which
they have gained by their own personal
efforts?by their intelligence, energy,
courage and thrift.

A nhort time ago a young man who a

>o passing a few days in Florida. Wan- (
lering through the streets one evening,
lis eyes were attracted by the tlaring c
lights of a dime museum; aiid having w
iothing else to do, ho paid his dime and
valked in. Tliero was not much to look
it, but his ears caught the sound of ~

lie cage, the young man whis- lered
through the bars, "What's I
