The State OF the World.

Was there ever 4 Golden Age IN
which there was no war, or strife, or
contention, or auyht to produce UNI
happiness or pain? Is this only i
dream Of the poets? Or is it an idea
given to man to reconcile him to the
inevitable evils by which he is sur
rounded. and to cause him to hope for
future as bright as the golden age
Of the past? Has man from the be-
ginning been always engaged in war
and bloodshed as We find him now,
and is this his natural state? Must
he so continue to live as long as time
shall last? Is he to grow out Of his
evils and find better nature by the
slow process Of evolution, and by the
operation of the law of progression of
which modern philosophers are so fond
of talking? II so, how many thous-
ands and thousands Of years and ages
must clapsc before the happy moment
comes? Who can tell? We confess
that the evils that we see in the world
opprcss us sometimes with sense OF
orphanage that is alA2pst overwhelm-
ing. But when We lock upon the
splendor of the heavens, or the beauty
and majesty with which the material
universe is filled, at such times the
soul is lifted up into calm and serene
region where peace reigns. But in
that region We cannot live always
The demands of life urge us. to new
er-ceasing struggle. We live amongst
men; We breathe the airs they breathe;
feel all emotions, whether good Or bad,
that they feel, so that it is only at rare
and most happy moments that we are
able to ascend to that region which is
above the mists and evil vapors OF Or
dinary life. And it is only at such
moments that hope revivcs and We ares
enabled to feel and know that at last
the reign Of peace must become uni
versal. Not through the operation of
The law of progress, not through the
natural evolution of 4 better life out
Of a seething, purifying mass Of cor.
ruption, which will ultimately clarity
itself and cast the dregs to the bottom;
no, not thus must peace come at last.
But through the divine operation Of
God, who gave US the power to 60
astray, the power to disobey and rebel,
because only by having this power

"Gut such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels wcep;"-
but he has not forgotten us, and though
darkness is now upon the face of the

and harmony as the sun is full Of light.

$4,000; tie bricklayers, taors, piasterers long

PLANS FOR RELIEF.
To meet the emergency several plans have been
suggested. The Workingmen's Central Council
has adopted Two plans whereby, 1t believes, the

the separate labor organizations OF this city

Council. TO supply the necessities OF all their men,

expected that much good VIII result to the mem
bers by the cooperative principles involved In

The second proposition OF the Council is that the
great majority OF the working people out Of

ing public employment. The Council does
not wish 70 encourage pauperism wnile
made which would benent the whole community.

The press has generally sounded the alarm Of

country generally. AS the charitable institutions
OF the city are, 1t is stated, taxed to the utmost it
is evident that an Independent organization must
be inaugurated among the citizens In order that
the great mass OF people thrown out OF employ
ment may be protected from want during the
coming winter. 1t IS reasonable to suppose that a
large proportion OF those who engaged in busi-
ness VIII have as much as they can do to carry
