A Man by the name of George, residing in New York, has lately written a book on the asrociation of wealth and poverty. In like New York or London, this association is than in a small place like this Island, There the groatest wealth is found side by side with It is an undonbt-

a large city

more apparent

the most abject poverty. ed fact thatin many of the largest and most prosperous cities of the world, there is more suffering from extreme poverty in one day, than thers is herein the courso of many years. And here we find that the poor in- crease in almost the same ratio as our riches. ‘The statistics of the Island show that its people are, on the whole, a pres- perous people. Never was there mure money in our ‘banks than there is now ; never did the bulk of our people possess more property and more comforts than they do now. Yet it is an undoubted fact that never was the pinch of poverty more keen- ly felt by the poor ameng us thanit is at the prosent time.

How is this association of poverty with progress to ba accounted for! The writer before alluded to says that this fact ‘‘ is the enigma of our time,’ and that it has not yet received a solution which accounts for all the facts and points to any clear and

simple remedy. = AER

Con- stable Musgrave pursued him thither and found that he was concealed in a merch- ant’s store there. Musgrave had the store surrounded and says two Dominion officials took him ‘rom his hiding place at midnight and rashel past and carried Kavanagh te a boat, where he made good his escape to Isle Macame.
