A GREAT STRIKE
J N CHIC A ao, 11.1. l SOI Si.
A Sn*ll One Minrleil In Atlii-u*, <tu.
Nearly 1.000 bricklayers and stouomn
sons in Chicago asked their bosses to
change their pay day from Monday to
Saturday, aud when the demand was re
fused, the men laid down their trowels
and quit work. Fully 500 men struck
work by ten o’clock, while others who
had given the contractors a few hours to
decide, began to leave later. By noon,
(100 men were out and more will follow.
The strike is not in any way connected
with that of the carpenters or hod car
riers. Tlie bricklayers quit wherever
bosses announced their refusal to pay on
Saturday. Only a few of the bosses
failed to refuse, und before evening
probably 2,000 bricklayers had quit
work. This threw out an equal number
of hod carriers. Nearly all bod carriers
iu Chicago are now deprived of employ
ment, 1,000 of them having been idle by
the strike of their own inaugurated some
days since.
There has been some trouble in the
past few days among the laborers iu and
around Athens, Ga. They have been
restless and seem inclined to strike for
higher wages. The city has raised the
pay of the street hands to 75 cento, and
a large number of railroad hands have
returned to town from the M. and A.
Road, dissatisfied with their job. Messrs.
Gunn & Murray came near having a
strike among the hands excavating in the
new opera house site. They demanded
$1 per day, but the ring hauler was dis
charged and the trouble arrested.
SECRET SOCIETIES
Who Care for the Widow and Orphan.
The supreme lodge of the Knights of
Honor met in Philadelphia, Pa., recently.
The Knights of Honor was organized
June 30, 1873, in Louisville, Ky., by
James A. Demorcc, and sixteen young
men. Mr. Demorce is still identified
with the order as grand reporter. Iu the
fourteen years of the order’s existence it
has distributed $26,000,000 to its sick
members and the widows and orphans of
deceased members. Thirty-five states and
the District of Columbia were represented.
The report of B. F. Nelson, supreme re
porter, shows that at the beginning of
last month the total membership was 126, -
002, a slight decrease over last year. The
report of the supreme treasurer, Joseph
W. Branch, shows that during the four
teen years of the order’s existence, a to
tal of $26,000,000 have been distributed.
Total receipts of widows and orphans
benefit fund, during 1886, was $3,080,018
and up to April 25th, 1887, $1,062,003;
total, $4,148,522 16. Balance on hand
on April 25th, was $69,305. In the gen
eral fund, balance on hand, April 25,
was $16,058. There is special fund of
$21,375.
The session of district grand lodge No.
7, Independent Order of B’nai B’rith, at
Memphis, Tenn., was devoted to reports
of committees of minor importance. To
wards the close of the session, the en
dowment committee reported unanimous
ly in favor of $1,500 endowment, with
annual dues of S3O. Hon. B. F. Petixotto,
of New York, made a stirring address,
urging united action in behalf of the
Jewish emigrants from foreign shores.
The supreme delegates of the Catholic
Knights of America met at Chicago, 111.,
recently. The organization is one of the
strongest of Catholic organizations in the
United States, and now numbers among
its members fully 18,000 believers in that
faith. The supreme delegates represent
state societies, and two from each state
and territory were in attendance at the
recent meeting. They meet once in two
years, the last biennial session having
been held in New York city.
BATTLES ON PAPER
Somewhat DMlerem In Actual Demoilelra
tloa.
Murat Halstead, of the Commercial-
Gazette, Cincinnati, 0., prints in his
paper, over his own initials, a stricture
on Jefferson Davis’s historical inaccuracy
in that gentleman’s recent criticism of
Gen. Wolseley, on Lee ut Fredericks
burg. Halstead maintains that Wolseley
was right. Halstead was at Fredericks
burg aud knows whereof he speaks, and
sharply criticizes Davis, saying: “Davis,
in criticising Wolseley for saying that
Burnside’s army was in a ‘tight place’ at
Fredericksburg, and allowed to escape,
falls into a strange error which he re
peats and dwells upon, of assuming that
there were two national armies, one un
der Burnside, and another within sup
porting distance on tho north under
Hooker, and out of this theory of two
armies Davis makes the assertion that
Burnside’s troops were not in a tight
place. Hooker did not have an inde
pendent command. He had charge of
ono of the three grand divisions of Burn
side’s army. Tbe other two were under
Franklin and Sumner. Hooker was in
the battle of the first day, personally giv
ing orders to Humphreys that he had re
ceived from Burnside, to continue the
hopeless attack on the stonewall, and
vainly attempting to support it with
artillery. Stonewall Jackson is reported
to have advised a night attack on the
troops in Fredericksburg, and if he had
known how greatly they had been dam
aged he would almost certainly have
made the attack. There is no doubt that
after their repulse, they were in a dan
gerous situation, justifying Wolseley’s
phrase of a ‘tight place.’ ”
PERMANENT PROSPERITY.
President Alfred Sully, of the Rich
mond & West Point R. R. system, said,
on returning to New York:
“I went over some of our South Caro
lina lines, East Tennessee roads ami the
Georgii Pacific. I found them all in
very good condition and a great boom
down there in real estate and mining in
terests. There is a lull in Birmingham
real estate sales, but there is a very largo
amount of building going on. There
seems to be a remarkable amount of en
terprise manifested in the South, espec
ially in Alabama and Eastern Tennessee,
developing the natural resources of the
country. There is no question hut that
the newly developed manufacturing in
terests of llie South are upon a perma
nent basis, and I believe that Georgia,
Alabama and Ten lessee will add 5 I per
ceit. to their material wealth iu the next
five vears. ”

Well, my friends, one of the wants of tho
:ities of this country is u great bonfire of bad
x>oks and newspapers. \\ e have enough fuel
a) make a blaze JUO feet high. Many of the
publishing houses would do well to throw into
;he blaze their entire stock of goods. Bring
forth the insufferable trash.and put it into the
ire, and let it Lie know n, iu the presence of
Jod, and angels, and men, that you are going
lo rid your homes of the overtopping and un
derlying curse of profligate Literature.
The printing press is the mightiest agency
dii earth for good and for evil. The minister
of the Gospel, standing in a pulpit, has a
responsible position; but 1 do not think it is
as responsible as the position of an editor or a
publisher. At what distant point of time, at
what far out cycle of eternity, will cease* the
influence of a Henry J. Raymond, or u Hor
ace Greeley, or a James Gordon Bennett, ora
Wateon Webb, or an Erast us Brooks, ora
Thomas Kiusella? Take the simple statistics
that our New York dailies now have a circu
lation of about eight hundred ami fifty thou
sand per day. and add to it tho fact that three
of our weekly periodicals have an aggro- j
gate circulation of about one million, and
then cipher, if yon can, how far up, and how
far down,and how far out, reach the influences
of the American printing press. Great Godl
what is to be tlie issue ot all this? 1 believe
the Lord intends the printing press to be the
means for the world's rescue and evangeliza
tion, and 1 think that the great last liattle of
the workl will not lie fought with swords and
guns, but with types and presses—a purified
and gospel literature triumphing over, tramp
ling down and crushing out forever that
which is depraved. The only way to over
come unclean literature is by scattering
abroad that which is healthful. May God
speed the cylinders of an honest, intelligent,
aggressive, Christian printing press.
1 have to tell you this morning that the
greatest blessing that ever came to this nation
is thatof an elevated literature, and the great
est scourge has been that o: unclean literature.
This last lias its victims in all occupations and
departments. It has helped to lill iasane asy
lums, and penitentiaries, and almshouse*, and
dens of shame. The bodies of this infection
lie in the hospitals ana in tho graves, while
their souls aru being tossed over into a lost
eternity, an avalanche of horror and despair!
Th< London plague was nothing to it. That
counted its; victims by thousands, but this
modern pest has already shovelled its millions
Into the charnel house of the morally dead.
The longest rail-train that ever ran over the
Erie or Hudson tracks was not long enough
or large enough to carry the Lieastlinws and
the putrefaction which have been gathered
up iu bad book* and newspapers of this land
in the last twenty years.
Now, it is amid such circumstance* that I
put, this morning, a question of overmaster
ing importance to you and your families.
What Looks and newspapers shall we read?
You see 1 group them together. A news
paper is only a book in a swifter and more
portable shape, and the same rules which will
apply to Isxik reading will apply to news
-pajHir reading. What shall we read? Shall
our minds l>e the receptacle of everything
that nil author Ims a mind to write? .Shall
there bo no distinction between the tree of
life and the tree of death? Shall wc stoop
down and drink out of the trough which the
wickedness of men has filled with pollution
and shame? Shall we mire in impurity, and
chase fantastic will-o-the-wisp* across tlie
iwamps, when we might walk in the bloom
ing gardens of God M > no! For the sake of
our present and everlasting welfare we must
make an intelligent and Christian choice.
Standing, as we do, chin deep in fictitious
literature, tho first question that many of the
young people are as.dug me is: ‘ Shall we I
read novels?’ I reply: There aro novels
that are pure, goo.i, Christian, elevating to
the heart and ennobling to the life. But I
have still further to say that I believe that
ninety nine out of the one hundred novels in
this day are baleful and destructive to the
last degree. A pin*© work of fiction is history
and jxietry combined. It is a history of
things around us, widi the licences an l the
assumed names of poetry. The world can
never pay the debt which it owes
to such fictitious writer; as Hawthorne and
McKenzie, an 1 Landon and Hunt, and
Arthur and Marion Harlan 1, and others
whose names are familiar to all. The follies of
high life were never belter exposed than l>y
Miss Edgeworth. The memories of the past
were never more faithfully embalmed than
in the writings of Walter Scott. Cooper’s
novels are healthfully redolent with the
breath of tho seaweed, and tho air of the
American forest. Charles Kingsley has
smitten the morbidity of tho world, and led a
great many to appreciate the poetry of sound
health, strong muscles, and fresh air. Thack
eray did a grand work in caricaturing the pre
tenders to gentility and high blood. Dickens
has built his own monument in his books,
w Inch are an everlasting plea for the poor,
and the anathema of injustice. Now, Isay,
books like these, read at right times, and read
in right proportion with other books, cannot
help but be ennobling and purifying; but
alas for tlie loathsome and impure literature
tlint has come tijsm tii s country in the shape
of novels, like a freshet overflowing all the
banks of decency and common sense! They are
coming from some of th,-mostcelebrated pub
lishing housi-so: the country. They are coming
with recommendation of sonic of our religious
newspapers. They lie on your centre table
Lo curse vour children, and blast with their
infernal fires generations unborn. You find
these books in the desk of the school miss, in
the trunk of tlie voting man, in the steamboat
cabin, on the table of the hotel roception
room. You see a light in vour child's room
Ist- at night. You suddenly go in and say:
“What are you doingf’ “1 am reading.”
“What are you reading*” “A book.” You
look at the book; it is a l>ad book. “Whole
did you get itf’ “I borrowed it.” Alas,
there are always those abroad who would
like to loan your son or daughter
a bad book! Everywhere,everywlierean un
clean literature. I charge iqion it the destruc
tion of ten thousand immortal souls, and 1
bid you this morning wake up to the magni
tude of the theme. 1 shall take all the world’s
literature good novels and bad, travels true
and false, histories faithful and incorrect,
legends b-autiful and monstrous, all tracts,
all chronicles, all epilogues, all ff.mily, city,
State and national libraries—and pile them
up in a pyramid of literature, and then I shall
bring to bear upon it sorno grand, glorious,
infallible, unmistakable Christian principles.
God help me to speak with reference to my
last account, and God help you to listen.
I charge you, in the tirst place, to stand
aloof from all books that give false pictures
of human life. Life is neither a tragedy nor
a farce. Men are not nil either knaves or
heroes. Woman are neither angels nor furies.
And yet, if you depended upon much of the
literature of the day, you would get the idea
that life, instead of’being something earnest,
something practical, is a fitful aud fantastic
ana extravagant trnng. Mow poorly pre
pared are that young man and women for
the duties of to-day who spent last night
wading through brilliant passages descriptive
of magnificent knavery and wickedness! The
man will be looking all day long for his hero
ine, in the tin shop, by the forge, in the fac
tory. in the counting room, ami ho will not
find her, and he v ill be dissatisfied. A man
who gives himself up to the indiscriminate
reading of novels will tie nerveless, inane and
a nuisance. He will befit neither for the store,
nor tho shop, nor the field. A woman who
giv< herself up to the indiscriminate
rending of novels will lie unfitted
for tlve dutic* of wife, mot liar, siHter, daugh
ter. There she ia, hair disheveled, counten
ance vacant, cheeks pale, hands trembling,
bursting into tears at midnight over the fate
of some unfortunate lover; in the day-time,
when she ought to lie busy, storing by th*
half hour at nothing; biting her finger nails
into the quick. The cartiet, that was plain
liefore, will lie plainer after having wundered
through a romance all night long in teaselated
halls of castles. Aud your industrious com
panion will b* non unattractive than ever,
now that you have walked in the romance
through parks with plumed prim-esses, or
lounged in the arbor with the polished despe
rado. Oh. these confirmed novel readers I
They are unfitted for this life, which ia a tr*-
mondouM discipline. They know not how to
go through the furnace* of trial through
which they must pass, and they are unfitted
for a world where everything we gain we
achieve by hard, long continuing and ex
haustive work.
Again: atwitain from all those books which,
while they have some good things about them*,
have also an admixture of evil. You have
read books that had two element* m tnem—
the good and the bod. Which stuck to you?
Th* Dad I The heart of most people is like a
sieve, which lets tho small parti ell's of gold
fall through, but keeps tlie great cinders.
Once in *\ while there is a mind like a load
stone, which, plunged amid steel and hrns*
filings, gathers up the steel and repels the
brass. But it is generally just the opposite.
If you attempt to plunge through a hedge of
burrs to get one blackberry, you will got
more burrs than Ltluekberries You cannot
afford to read a bad book, however good yon
are. You say: "Tlie influence is Insignifi
cant.” I tell you that the scratch of a pin
has sometimes produced tlie lock jaw. Alas, if
through curiosity, as many do, you pry into an
evil hook, your curiosity is as dangerous us
that of ~e man who would tuke a torch into
a guntiowder mill merely to see whether It
wo 11 blow no or imm Is a menage ia in
New York, a man put his arm Uirough th*
bars of a black leopard's cage. The animal’*
hide looked so sleek,and bright.and beautiful.
He just stroked it once. Tlie monster seized
him, and he drew forth a hand torn, and
mangled, and bleeding. O, touch not evil,even
with tho faintest stroke. Though it may
Lie glossy and beautiful, touch it not, lest you
pull forth your soul torn and bleeding under
the clutch of the black leopard. "But,” you
say, "how can I find out whether a book is
good or bad without reading it?” There is
always something suspicious about a bad
book. I never knew on exception —something
suspicious in the index or style of illustration.
This venomous reptile almost always carries a
warning rattle.
Again: I charge you to stand off from all
those books which corrupt the imagination
and inflame the passions. Ido not refer now
to that kind of a book which the villain lias
under his coat waiting for the school to get
out, and then, looking both ways to see that
there is no policeman around tho block, offers
tlie l>ook to your son on his way home. Ido
not siieak or that kind of literature, but that
which evades the law and comes out in polished
sty le,and with acute plot sounds the tocsin that
rouses up all the baser passions of the soul.
To-day under the nostrils of this land, there
is a fetid, reeking, unwashed literature,
enough to poison all the fountains of public
virtue, ana smite your sons and daughters as
with the wing of a destroying angel, and it is
time that the ministers of the Gospel blow
the trumpet and rallied the forces of right
eousness, all armed to the teeth. in this great
battle against a depraved literature.
Again: abstain from those books which are
apologetic of crime. It is a sad thing that
& une of the best und most beautiful book
bindery, and some of the finest rhetoric, hay*
been brought to make sin attractive. Vice is
a horrible thing any how. It is born in ahurne,
anil it dies howling in the darkness. In this
world it is scourged with a whip of scorpions,
but after wards tne thunders of God’s wrath
pursue it across a boundless desert, beating it
with ruin and woe. When you come to paint
carnality, do not paint it as looking from be
hind embroidered curtains, or through lattice
of royal seraglio, but as writhing in the
agonies of a city hospital.
Cursed be tlie books that try to make im
purity decent, and crime attractive, and
Hypocrisy noble! Cursed lie the lx>oks that
swarm with libertines and desperadoes, who
make the brain of the young people whirl
with villainy 1 Ye authors who write them,
ye publishers who print them, ye booksellers
who distribute them, shall lie cut to piece*, if
not by on aroused community, then at last
by the hail of Divine vengeance, which shall
sweep to the lowest pit of perdition ail ye
murderers of souls. I tell you, though you
may escape in this world, you will be
ground ut last under the hoof of eternal
calamities, and you will bo chained to the
rock, and you will have the vultures of do
gpair clawing at your soul, and those whom
you have destroyed will come around to tor
ment you, and to pour hotter coals of fury
upon your head, and rejoice eternally in the
outcry of your pain and the howl of your
damnation. "God shall wound the hairy scalp
of him that goeth on in his trespasser*. ,r
The clock strikes midnight. A fair form
bends over a romance. The eye* flash fire.
The breath is quick and irregular. Occasion
ally the color dashes into the cheek, und then
dies out. Tbe hands tremble as though u
guardian spirit were trying to shake the
deadly book out of th** grasp. Hot tears fall.
She laughs with a shrill voice that drops deud
at its own sound. The sweat on her brow is
the spray dashed up from the river of death.
The clock strikes "four, ‘ and tho rosy dawn
soon after begins to look through the lattice
upon the pale form that looks like a d’ tained
spectre or the night. Soon, in a madhouse,
she will mistake her ringlets for curling ser
iientfl, and thrust her white hand through the
bars of tlie prison and smite her head, rub
bing it back as though to push the scalp from
the skull, shrieking: ‘*My brain! my brain ”
Oh, stand off from that! Why will you go
sounding your way amid the reefs and warn
ing buoys, when there is such a vast ocean in
which you may voyage, all sail set?
There is one other thing I shall say thl*
morning liefore I leave you, whether you
w ind, to hear it or not. That is, that I con
shier the lascivious pictorial literature of the
day as most tremendous for ruin. There i* no
one who can like good pictures better than 1
do. Tho quickest and most condensed way
of impressing the public mind is by picture.
What the painter does by his brush for a few
favorites, the engraver does by his knife
for the million. What the author accomp
lishes by fifty pages, the artist does by a
flash. The best part of a painting that costs
ton thousand dollars you may buy lor ten
cents. Fine paintings lielong to the aristo
cracy of art. Engravings belong to the
democracy of art. You do well to gather
good pictures in your homes. Spread them
before your children, after tho tea-hour is
past, and tho evening circle is gathered.
Throw them on the invalid’s couch. Strew
them through the mil-train to cheer the trav
eler on his journey. Tack them on tho wall
of the nursery. Gather them in albums and
portfolios. God sjjeed the good pictures on
their way with ministries of knowledge and
mercy!
But what shall I say of the prostitution of
this art to purposes of iniquity ? These death
warrants of tne soul an* at every street cor
ner. They smite* the vision of the young man
with pollution. Many a young man buying a
copy has bought his eternal discomfiture.
There may be enough jioison in one bad
picture to poison one soul, and that
soul may poison ten, and ten fifty,
and the fifty hundreds, and the hundreds
thousands, until nothing but the measuring
lfno of eternity can tell the height, anw
depth, and ghastliness, and horror of the
great undoing. The work of death that the
wicked author does in a whole book the bad
engraver may do on a half side of a pictorial.
Under the guise of pure mirth, the young
man buys one of thase sheets. lie unrolls it
before his comrades amid roars of laugh
ter, but long after tho paper is gone the
result may perhaps lie seen in the blasted
imagination of those who saw it. The queen
of death holds a banquet every night, and
these periodicals are tho printed invitation to
her guests. Alas that tho fair brow of
American art should lie blotched with this
plague-spot, and that philanthropists, bother
ing themselves about smaller evils, should lift
up no unite ! and vehement voice against this
great calamity.
Young man! buy not this moral strychnine
for your soul! Pick not up this nest of coiled
alders for your pocket! Patronize no news
stand that keeps them! Have your room bright
with good engravings; but for these unclean
pictorials have not one wall, not one bureau,
not one pocket. A man is no better than the
pictures he loves to look at. If vour eyes
are not pure, your heart cannot be. At a
news stand one can guess the character
of tho man liy the kind of pictorial he pir*
chases. When the devil fails to get a man t
read a bad book.he sometimes succeeds in get
ting him to look at a bad picture. Wtu

GARFIELD’S STATUE
UNYEILEDAT WASHINGTON, D.C., WITH
IMPOSING CEREMONIES.
Great < rowda Attend Tlie Weather i*
ilenutifuf—linpoNiiw >liiitary Diplay
Hpcech by President Cleveland.
Um.er the supervision of the Society
of the Army of the Cumberland,of which
Gen. P. H. Sheridan is president, tho
statue of the late President Garfield was
unveiled at Washington, D. C..
The statue, whicii is of bronze, is tlie
design of Sculptor Ward, and cost, with
the pedestal, nearly $60,000. It is 10
feet, 8 inches in height, and represents
Gen. Garfield in the act of delivering tin
address, with his right hand resting on a
column and a manuscript held in his left.
The pose of the figure is easy and uncon
ventional. Recumbent ideal figures at
each corner of the triangular pedestal
represent the student., warrior and states
man. typifying the three positions in Mr.
Garfield's career. Bronze tablets above
the figures bear a globe, trumpet and
sword, and laurel wreath, including the
scales of justice.
After an imposing procession had
passed through the streets to Maryland
Avenue, where the statue is located,
where a stand holding 1500 people was
erected, and on which were seated the
most prominent people in Washington,
Col. Wilson marshal of the District called
the assembly to order. Rev. Dr. Crisy
opened with prayer, the Marine band
struck up “The Star Spangled Banner,”
and amid clapping of hands, tho Ameri
can flags enveloping the statue was drop
ped, and the great bronze image stood
exposed to the ray, of the middsy sun.
There was a lull in tho proceedings, while
srtilleiy boomed out a national salute.
Gen. Sheridan then introduced the
orator of the day, Gen. J. Warren Keifer,
who, on the part of the monument com
mittee, delivered an address transferring
the statue to Gen. Sheridan. Gcu. Sher
idan then transferred it to President
Cleveland, who in accepting it said
among other things: “In the performance
of the duty assigned to me on this occa
sion, I hereby accept, on behaif of tlie
people of the United States, this com
pleted and beautiful statue. Amid the
interchange of fraternal greetings be
tween the survivors of the Army of
Cumberland and their former foes upon
the battlefield, and while the Union gen
eral and the people’s president awaited
burial, the common grief of those mug
nauimous soldiers and mourning citizens
found expression in a determination to
erect this tribute to American greatness.
And thus to-day, iu its symmetry and
beauty, it presents a sign of animosities
forgotten and the emblem of brotherhood
redeemed, and a token of the nation re
stored. Monuments and statues multiply
throughout the land, fittingly illustrative
of the love and affection of our grateful
people and commemorating brave and
patriotic sacrifices in war, fame in peace
ful pursuits, or honor in public station.
Wc cannot forget that it teaches our
people a sad and distressing lesson, and
the thoughtful citizen who views its fair
proportions, cannot fail to recall the trag
edy of death, which brought grief and
mourning to every household iu the land.
But while American citizenship stands
aghast and affrighted that murder and
assassination should lurk in the midst of
a free people and strike down the head
of their government, tne fearless search
and discovery of the origin and hiding
place of these hateful and unnatural
things, should be followed by a solemn
resolve to purge forever from our politi
cal methods aod from the operation of
our government, the perversions aud mis
conceptions which give birth to passion
ate aud bloody thoughts.”
During the delivery of hisaddress, tho
President was frequently interrupted by
outbursts of applause, lie spoke fluently;
in a clear voice, which was audible to
most of the crowd that filled the circle
before the stand. When he had con
cluded. the band played “Hail, Colum
bia,” and Rev. .Mr. Power, who was pas
tor of Garfield's church, pronounced tlm
benediction.
