A Church and a llailroad Act.
At ISureka, Ill., the recent state con¬
vention of the Christian church, rep¬
resenting 119,000 members, with 774
churches and about 500 ministers,
adopted the following resolution: “Re¬
solved, That It is the sense of this con¬
tention that It would be advisable for
|mr ministers aud church officers
throughout the state to invite the ac¬
credited and credited representatives
of organized labor to occupy our pul¬
pits at proper times, that we may hear
of their needs and aims and that we
4»ay terest assure them of our Christian in¬
In them. Moreover, that next
fl'ear a prominent place on our pro
gramruo he of given to a prominent repre¬
sentative the labor interest so that
we may have a full and free discussion
•of the great questions of labor and
capital that are now agitating society.”
This resolution is extraordinary, and
shows that a church that adopted it,
and proposes to carry it into effect, is
wide awake to the importance of one of
the most difficult problems of modern
economics. With all the benefits that
have accrued to mankind from the sub¬
stitution of new and vastly improved
methods of .production for the less effi¬
cient ones of the past, there have run
the deplorable facts that the situation
of the individual worker has grown
more precarious, and the element of
human kindness has been forced ever
more out of business calculations. Not
that the average wage rate has not
steadily advanced, for it has; In addi¬
tion, dollar for dollar, the wage buys
more and better; aud hours of toll
have been decreased. But there is less
room than ever for the worker who is
not of the highest efficiency; there is
the danger of finding no new job of
equivalent value when the machine
makes another step onward and dis¬
places another regiment, brigade, or
army of men. Further, Industry
“booms” and “slumps.” National and
international connections are already
so Intimate that a “boom” may exist
In two continents, to he followed by a
"slump” extending over an equally
large area. We ourselves have experi¬
enced this. These conditions exist.
The benefits that ensue from them are
not to any great extent due to the
'hy^nthropic motives of any one; the
evils, that follow not due to any one’s
desire to oppress. They follow, just
as- grass grows where rain falls and
th<»- sun shines, without intention
on the part of sun and rain, to'grow
grass, rather than diamonds and shoe
black. They simply follow conditions.
It is very evident that there must be
injected into our economic systems a
leaven of regard for man as men, a
new factor that will tend to give
greater stability to the present, and
Insure a tolerable future, for decent.
Industrious people. Just how this is
to be done, I do not know. Long-head
«d men, and not all of the “theorist”
«lass, either, are trying to work it out.
The latest great move In that direction
is the act of the Pennsylvania Rail¬
road company, one of the richest cor¬
porations of the world, which has es¬
tablished an old-age pension fund, de¬
signed to hold out to every one of its
many thousand employes the prospect
that if they do their part as men while
able to do the work or the company,
.they shall draw pensions when old.
.This is one of numerous Instances
8«ihere It may be said that formal decla¬
ration is Impliedly made that man is
not a mere living machine, to be used
until worn <5ut and then cast aside.
And the resolution of the Christian
church above quoted, is further evi¬
dence of progress in the same direc¬
tion. While r.o church has ever held
men to be mere machines, many
churches have failed to recognize the
dehumanizing trend that accompanies
much industrial advance, nence have

neglected to take steps even to coun¬
teract the evil, let alone to bringing
about the substitution therefor of no¬
bler principles than have at any time
prevailed. The comparative ease of
production, the conditions that make
it possible for a few men to create the
things that will satisfy the wants of
many, should, and I doubt not ulti¬
mately will place the present and
future well-being of workei'3 upon a
more stable basis than ever, and at the
same time make it possible for man¬
hood and womanhood as such to at¬
tain a place higher than any yet

Blacklist and Boycott.
The Cleveland street car strike
given the boycott a prominent place in
public discussion. And discussion
the boycott brings up the blacklist.
relation between the two is forcefully
pointed out by Governor Thomas
Colorado In a recent message
panying his veto of a bill to repeal
law forbidding boycotting. The law
in question forbids both the
and the boycott, but a measure
the legislature repealing the
tion on boycotting. Governor Thom¬
as says, in part: "The boycott
boycott and blacklist are slightly
ferent means of accomplishing
same result. Each is a method of
ercion and punishment. Both are
on previous agreement and depend
their success upon concert ot
by those interested. The blacklist

and insidiously. It is employed by
few and the powerful against the

erally the latter. It Is usually

that Is disregarded or unfairly
istered, the remedy is with the
at the ballot box. The most
fact urged in behalf of this bill Is
some of the great companies In
state disregard and violate the
list eeetion with impunity, while
organizations arc held to a strict
countability under the law. This
said to result from the difficulty of de¬
tecting the one and concealing the
eration of the other, There is, unfor
tunately, too much truth in this state¬
ment. Those who cry loudest
lawlessness and anarchy are
unmindful of their civic duties and
mandates of legislation. The power¬
ful syndicate, entrenched In power and
authority, overrides prohibitions and
penalties, snaps Its fingers in the faces
of the people and sets at naught the
limitations of statutes and constitu¬
tions. I^abor is Imitative. It cannot
understand why obligations should be
unequal or retaliation should not be
fair. Its mistakes and Its offenses
have been copied from the conduct of
those above it, and It Is not surprising
that it sometimes seeks to better the
instruction. If, therefore, the statute
against blacklisting Is held In contempt
and disregarded by those it was meant
to restrain, why should that against
boycotting remain as an obstacle to
retaliation? Those who use the black¬
list must answer, and unless they shall
comply with laws like these, the time
Is coming whoa the answer must be
exacted. The sublimist maxim of jur¬
isprudence is that he who seeks equity
must do equity. The suppliant for re¬
lief and protection Is denied both when
he fn turn denies them to his adversary.
Burke long ago declared justice to be
the great standing policy of society,
and any departure from it under any
circumstances to be no policy at all.”
Her Wayward Boy.
In Launceston (Tasmania) a mother
of 90 years brought her son of 72 to the
benevolent asylum to be looked after.
The poor lad had apparently taken up
with bad companions and fallen into
bad habits. The other day his speech
was certainly thick, while from the
odor of his clothes and breach her
worst fears were aroused—she’d every
that '
reason to suspect he'd begun
smoking. The asylum superintendent
took charge of the bairn, and promised
to let his mother know If he miscon¬
ducted hlinself so she might come and
correct him. Tasmania has always been
reckoned healthy, but this Launces¬
ton example points to the profound
clairvoyance of Swift In imagining a
land of Struldbrugs.—Sydney Bulletin.

PUTS IT VERY PLAIN.
ALTGELD’S CONDENSED PLEA
FOR FREE SILVER.
la Two Scutences the Kx-Governor Sums
lip the Whole Questlou at Issue—
The Producer Robbed of Ills Prod¬
ucts—The Parmer and the Trusts.
In his recent Labor day speech ex
Gov. Altgeld said many sensilble
things, but nothing more pregnant
with the truth than this:
“The battle for bimetallism is the
battle of the producers by which they
hope to get a more equitable share of
the products of their toil. The battle
against bimetallism is the battle of the
non-producers to keep down the prices
of the products of the producer.”
That is the whole free-colnage ques¬
tion In a nutshell. The great teacher
went on: “By stealth and by fraud one
of the money metals of the world was
demonetized by governmental action;
not by commerce, not by the Industries
and enterprises of the world, but by the
strong arm of the government, wielded
by chicane and the greed of the world.
As the result of this act the world’s vol¬
ume of actual money was gradually re¬
duced by nearly one-half; and, as the
world’s volume of money tends to de¬
termine the selling price of property,
It follows that the property of the
world, and particularly farms and farm
products, fell In the selling price by
nearly ofie-half, while the debts and
fixed charges remained the same. And
even today, when we are told that the
farmer Is prosperous, he Is selling his
products for just about one-half what
he formerly got. Tills determines his
purchasing power and of necessity de¬
termines his social status. By reducing
his purchasing power to about one-half
what It formerly was, by depriving him
of his ability to buy at the factory and
at the store as he formerly did, the
great American market has been de¬
stroyed to a large extent, and we arc
looking abroad In foreign lands for
markets for our goods, when we would
find a greater market than we could
possibly supply right at home if we
would again restore the farmer’s pur¬
chasing power to what It would be If
the world’s prices of products were
fixed by a volume of money consisting
of both metals, Instead of being fixed
by a volume of money consisting of
only one metal.
“At present the farmer has to pay
trust prices—that is, prices arbitrarily
made high by monopolies—for every¬
thing that he buys; but he has to scli
his products not only In the open mar¬
ket of the world, but be has to sell
them on a single gold standard value,
which is only about one-half as high
as a bimetallic standard of value would
be. This great wrong having been
done to all property-owners and to all
debtors by government, must be un¬
done by government; and, inasmuch
as the powerful moneyed classes of the
country are opposed to having the gov¬
ernment right this great wrong, we
must have a political party with suffi¬
cient moral courage and sufficient de¬
votion to the cause of justice to carry
out this reform without the aid of the
moneyed classes.”

“Undoubtedly congress will be urged
to consider the question of franchises
in Porto Rico and tho Philippines very
early In the session, as It is a matter
of no small Importance from a practical
point of view. The granting of fran¬
chises in Porto Rico will be of material
benefit to the Island,, and there is rea¬
son to expect that in the near future
there will be a demand for franchises
In the Philippines Involving a very
large amount of capital.”—Republican
Organ.
The cat is coming out of the bag.
The nigger is escaping from the wood
pile. The cause of the war la
closed, says the Nonconformist. A can¬
did confession Is good for the soul.
“Franchises are of no small importance
from a practical point of view.” You
can bet your sweet life on that propo¬
sition. “The granting of franchises in
Porto Rico will be of material benefit
to the Island”—and to the American
speculators also, to the friends of Mark
Hanna and Abner McKinley, the
wicked brother of the president. Alger
expected to be in this deal, but there
wasn’t good stealing enough to go
around, and so he was bounced. “In
the near future there will be a de¬
mand for franchises in the Philippines
involving a very large amount of cap¬
ital.” Who has that large amount of
capital? Why, the speculators who are
controlling McKinley, while he engi¬
neers this war. The war that was to
add “new glory to the flag” Is changed
to adding new profits to the corpora¬
tions. The war for the spread of the
gospel has become a war to enable
speculators to gobble up profitable
franchises. There is no hope of peace
until congress opens the flood gates of
corruption and allows millionaires to
plunder the Innocent. When Rockefel¬
ler, Hanna, Morgan and Brother Abner
get hold of all the franchises of our
new possessions, the plundered natives
will pray for the return of their Span¬
oppressors. Sweet peace will only
come to the Filipinos when they have
nothing left to steal.
Pet Folly of Trust Promoters.
From the Cleveland Leader: A pub¬
lished statement made by one of the
promoters of the trust which is being
formed by the glove manufacturers of
the United States contains a striking
illustration of the fatuous notion upon
which the men who create such big
combinations base their hopes on great
profits. It is another avowal of the
purpose of the trusts to get along with
one traveling salesman, when fifty
were Msed under the old conditions.
Imagine one salesman, representing a
complete monopoly, visiting a town 6o
sell gloves, where ten or twenty sales¬
men go with the same line of mer¬
chandise now. He would never be able
to escape the deadening effect of the
consciousness that lie had no competi¬
tion. So the easy-going dealers who
sold gloves at retail would let their
stocks run low because they would be
under no pressure to increase them.
They would not carry stock enough to
make them care about reducing It. All
special efforts to stimulate business
would be made in lines showing more
life and preserving more novelties. The
natural result, of course, would be to
lessen the number ot gloves worn In
any community in a given length of
time. All along, from the manufacturer
to the consumer, there would be leth¬
argy In the glove business. Then it
would he learned anew that competi¬
tion is the life of trade.
Enthroned Dollars, Enslaved Men.
Again, the fierce commercialism of
the age, which has tended to enthrone
the dollar and enslave the man, has
lowered the standards and has cov¬
ered the land with corruption until
corrupt concentrations of money .wield¬
ed by unscrupulous men, have acquired
such a complete control of the gov¬
ernments, national, state and munici¬
pal, that the people are almost helpless.
Laws destructive to tlioir interests are
passed through bribery, and laws nec¬
essary for their protection are kept off
the statute book by bribery. To meet
this now and unfortunate condition it
Is necessary that the people be given
the power, In certain emergencies, to
legislate direct—either by a popular
vote to put specific acts upon the stat¬
ute book or to deolare certain specific
acts already on the statute book to be
null and void. This would destroy the
business of bribery, because It would
render the fruits of bribery worthless.
No corporation would buy a legislature
or a city council If the acts of that leg¬
islature or council could be nullified by
the people.—Altgeld.
IVlull Man Has Matte of Man.
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While In a grove I sate reclined
In that sweet mood when pleasant
thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me
rnn;
And much it grieved my heart to
think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose tufts, in that green
bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreathes;
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hopped and
played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure;
But the least motion which they made,
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
The budding twigs spread out their
fan
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
If this belief from heaven was sent,
If such be Nature’s holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
—William Wordsworth.
Colt ot “Criminal Aggronton.’’
Now we begin to have definite data
as to the cost of the Filipino illegal
war $(13,000,000 , 664 men killed, and
6,500 wounded and invalided. The first
shot was fired in February last, and we
presume the $63,000,000 Is what has
been expended in about four months.
Just before that outbreak of massacre
the cost of subjugation was estimated
at $280,000,000 a year, and it is cer¬
tain to be in the future far more than
in the past. A World special gives
the estimate of an officer recently re¬
turned that 80 per cent of the army
there will receive pensions for
complaints, and that when the
35,000 men arrive the expense
be $300,000 a day, It being now
At $300,000 a day It will be
a year, but as triple that
of men will be required tho
will be nearly $300,000,000 a year
the next ten years, or more.
And what Is it all for? Simply to

LOST IN GREAT CLOSED LAND
Mrs. It I juliart's Desperate Experien¬
ces in Thibet.
It is strange that In these days of ex¬
ploration there shoflld still bo a land
which has never been penetrated by a
white mail. Lliassa, the capital of Thi¬
bet, is the one city on the face of the
earth which no stranger can enter.
This laud of mystery, whose locked
gates so many brave men have tried to
open, is fourteen times as big as Eng¬
land, and is three miles above the level
of the sea. Its population is about us
large as tile population of Loudon.
Only one Englishman lias ever been in
the sacred city—Thomas Manning, who
reached It in 1811. lie was soon sent
back again, however, and since that
time travelers and missionaries have
risked their lives In attempts to solve
the riddle of the unknown land.
Mrs. Lucie Itijnhnrt, tho American
wife of a Dutch missionary in China,
has reached the furthest point in Thi¬
bet ever trodden by a stranger, but she
has paid dearly for her courage. It was
Mrs. Itijnhnrt who. with her husband,
assisted Copt. Welby and Lieut. Mal¬
colm, two English officers, in their re¬
cent journey across Thibet, and since
then the missionary aud his wife, with
their little boy. hardly more than a
year old, resolved to do what in them
lay to carry the Gospel into the heart
of this strange country. To-day Lucie
Itijnhnrt is back in her home ill a/little
village on the borders of Manitoba, her
boylies in a lonely grave In Wild Thi¬
bet, and her husband she Wfs lost for¬
ever In this world, mvltfss a miracle
brings him home again! For mouths
they traveled, sijjg'hlg hymns and dis¬
tributing Bibles, as they rode along the
mountain streams. Then their horses
were shot, their men left them, aud
they were helpless and alone.
“On the day before yesterday.” writes
the brave wife, “my husband swam
across (lie river to get the people in
the tents to come with their animals to
our aid. IIo awam across and turned
on the bank to wave his hand at mo.
Then he disappeared behind the rooks.
For tlirae days I have waited for him
to come back, but he does hot.” And
now Lucie RIjuhai't Is alone in Mani¬
toba, her beautiful face worn with
grief, her child snatched from her, her
husband dead or worse than dead in
the Great Closed Land. What her hus¬
band is suffering must be difficult to'
describe. The Thibetans are not mer¬
ciful with strangers. “Intruders" are
made to ride on horseback on a wood¬
en saddle with a high back from which
iron spikes stick out, horizontally, ot¬
to stand on n log of wood with their
legs thrust as wide apart as
strength of five men can force them.
Redliot irons are held within an inch of
their eyes, guns are fired close to their
heads, and the rack is as common ns in
the days of the Inquisition. It is to l>e
hoped the brave missionary is dead,
rather than enduring the tortures
which other travelers have suffered.
All efforts to find him have been in
vain, and Mrs. Ki.jnliart is mourning
him ns the last of the martyrs of Thi¬
bet.
Aii<‘iciii Horror* of
In tile sixteenth century smallpox
fell upon Mexico, and in a few years
fi,OOd.bOO of the population yielded up
their lives to it, leaving in some places
scarcely enough people alive to bury
the dead. Brazil in 1,803 was invaded
by smallpox, and in some instances
whole races of men were carried to
their graves by it.
The province of Quito in a few years
lost 100,000 of her Indian population by
this one disease. In 1707 smallpox in¬
vaded Iceland and caused the death of
18,000 out of a total population of 50
000. One-sixth part of the inhabitants
of Ceylon died of smallpox during one
epidemic. Whole tribes of our Indian
population were swept out of existence
by this disease. In 1734 nearly two
thirds of the population of Greenland
was swept away by this disease. Eu¬
rope, in the century preceding the dis¬
covery of vaccination, lost in deaths
from smallpox 50,090,000 of her popu¬
lation. All of this has l>een changed
through the practice of vaccination.
Europe has always respected ns ns
an industrial people, but since the
Spanish war she has learned that in
an emergency we are also a military
people, A community of educated
men make tho best fighters in tho
world. They have something to fight
for, and when intelligence is wedded
to courage there is apt to be ft victory.
Europe has not discovered that fact
until recently, and its regard for us
and its friendliness toward us hnvo
been greatly increased.
