onty and inferiority have continued to
this day, in defiance Of ballots and self
government; and they will endure Just a.
long as labor accepts industrial vassaIage
and social inferiority as necessary condi-
tiOns of existence
The time has come for labor to throw
on this inferiOrity, and assert its manhood
and industrial equality. 1t is utter infat-
uatlon for labor, through its conventions,
to select its standard bearers from hostile
arlstocratlc classes, who naturally regard
labor as a permanently inferior element,
that must be deceived and conciliated by
specious shams and unmeaning promises.
The immediate success of labor candi-
dates rs not to be expected; and success
with candidates outside the ranks of iabor
is simply the defeat Of labor This polit-
lcal farce has been acted too often. Let
labor issue its broad platform of indepen-
dence, and commence its war Of aggression
and conquer. 1t must make beginning,
planting itself on industrial Justice, and no
matter though hooted, ridiculed, anathem
lied and defeated, this battle for a princi-
pie will ultimate in the success of that
m defiance Of all opposition.
Any victory that does not establish prin-
ciple is as unmeaning and worthless as the
shouts Of q drunken mob

This centenary year IS a good time for
labor to take stock, and estimate the good
that the Revolution and the Republic have
done for it. Labor has had ITS vote for a
century. How has it used it For the
benefit of cliques, rings and partisans. It
has suffered itself to be weic..ed down by
public debts that could scarcely be paid by
the sale Of half the States in the Union.
1t has degenerated INTO an unemployed
and spiritless " tramp" ltwanders about
among places that it's labors for century
have constructed for others. 1t has dot

it nothing. Why Because in the very
constitution Of society there exists a sub
tie demand Of aristocracy and monarchy
that has permeated the Republic with q
dry rot. The Revolution left this aristoc
racy untouched, and it has constantly
worked for the destruction Of the Repub
lie.
American aristocracy was divided int
two branches, each alike hostile to til,
rights Of labor, and compelled it to toi
from birth to death for bare subsistence
The other consisted Of the employer an,
controller of white labor, who held thi
white labor in industrial bondage, aud al
propriated nearly all its earnings. Thes
two aristocracies constituted the superior

If our legislature and municipal authori-
ties show plainly that there is no real in
tention to turn back the tide Of emigra-
tIon. We are told that the Supreme
Court of the United States have declared
our State laws unconstitutional and no
wonder What kind of men can they be
who pass laws to prevent the Chinese
from carrying away the bones OF their
dead comrades, and to cut Of the tails of
the living. The only way to meet this
question Is TO tell our Legislators and
monopolists who invite them, that We
don't want and won't have them. That

can unmake as well as make them; and
when our lnalienable rights are violated, if
We do not follow the example Of our an
cestors, who threw the harmless tea into
the sea, We will, at least, send these Mon

A RAILROAD STORY.
Curious Franks Of an Engineers Imag-
national Presentmelt Realized.
From the New Orleans Bulletin

[From the New Orleans Bulletin,1
The following story was told US yester-
day by gentleman who vouches for its
correctness, and whose statements are
entitled to full credit it may, therefore,
he considered as entirely reliable. The
details are very singular, and we give
them publicity because they are not only
strange but develop new species OF pre-
sentiment unlike anything of the kind of
which we haye ever heard or read !:
A few nights ago the train of the Nor
gan Railroad started from Brashear
heavily laden. There was an unusual
large number of cars, and the locomo-
tive travelled at very slow rate Of speed.
When about half way between La
fourche and Terrobonne Station the en-
gineer gave the portentous and loud
danger signal, and Immediately whistled
''down breaks" When the train was
stopped several persons ran up to the
engine to inquire the cause the engi-
neer responded that he was sure he had
inst run over a man the train was back
ed slowly for fully half mile, and every
inch of track and the surrounding local
ity infinitely searched, but nobody was
found.
THE engineer was told this, but he
persisted in his statement, and only af-
ter renewed and very careful search was
he convinced of his mistake; he stated,
however, that he would have sworn that
he had run over man, and described
his peculiar and terrible sensation as he
imagined the wheels of his engine rolling
over the body, and instinctively he blew
the regulation whistle % stop The train.
The man must have actually suffered,
so intense and accute did his magma
ton work and it was some time before
he became fully satisfied of his mistake.
This part of the story is in itself peculiar
but the sequel is still more strange; fol
hardly had the train reached the
end of another mile, when the whistle
again sounded down brakes" and again
the train was brought to stand. In
quiry elected the same story from the
engineer. and the same degree of posi-
tiveness characterized his assertion; at
tempts were made to induce him to pro
ceed, but he would not do so until the
road was examined some distance back
This was finally agreed to, and, con
trary to all expectation, the searchers
discovered that this time the engineer
was right, the train had run over and
killed man just the moment the whis-
tie blew. OF course all were very sorry
to find that the engineers fears were
realized. The body was brought to the
city on the same train.

Centaur
Liniments.

So nearly perfect the recipes of these wonderful
pain soothing and healing Centaur Liniments, that
can confidently say they will alleviate any pain
arising from fesh bone muscle arrangements
We do not pretend that they will mend broken leg
eateTnii,,ce boiLs but in such they will
reduce the inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can
guarantee the proper results where the body is
poisoned by ac'sley. Temperance Is as necessary to
proper physical, mental condition.
TIE WHITE CENTAUR L1NIMENT is particularly
adapted to all cases of Rhuemdtisni Lum5ago, Neu-
ralgia, Erysipeas Itch, Sprains, Chillblans Cuts,
Bruises Stings Poisons, Scalds, Sciatic Weak Back
Pains in the side, Wounds. Weeping sinews. Burns,
Frosted Feet Palsy Ear ache, Tooth-ache, Head ache,
Ulcers Old Sores, Broken Breasts, Sore Nipples Sore
Threat, Group, Dipthcria,. etc. The most of these
complaints the Centaur Lnnent will cure all of
them it will benefit. 1t will extract tie poison from
bites and stings ard will burns and scdIds with
out scar. The following is but sample of thous-
and similar testimonials

ferer from rheumatism. She has tried many physi

1t is an unlisputable fact that the Centaur Lini-
ments are performing cares nerer before effected by

ians called they frequently use this Liniment,
and of course charge several prices for it.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of the
animal creation. It's effects upon severe cases of
SPAWN, Sweeny Windmill, Big Head and Poll Evil,
are little less than marvellous.

peror to anything they have over used. We sell as
high four to five dozen bottles per month to own

"MOTHEB."

1t is the cry of the infant, just from
the cradle; it is the only balm that viii
heal the wounded heart in youthful days
Mother, Tn hurt" 'sMother, I'm
hungry" Mother, I'm tired" 'smother,
sing to me, rock me, tell me stories" It
Is always mother with the child and
the lad. No one like mother. No hand
that falls on the fevered brow as softly az
hers; no words as sympathetic as those
that pass her lips. The house would be
grave without her. Life would be a
grave without her warning voice and
and guiding hand. A father may be
kind, may love not less, but tie wearied
child wants the mothers arms, her soft
lullaby songs; the caresses of her gentle
hands. All childhood is mixture of
tears and joys. A kind word brings a
smile, harsh word sigh, fall pain,
toss q joy. The first footsteps weak
and trembling, grow stronger by the
guidance of mothers love.
The little wounds, the torn clothes,
the headaches, the heartaches, the tri
ais, all vanish at the words of mother,
and there is built up in the heart OF
every man an edifce of love and respect
that no crime of his can topple down
no dungeon cell affect.
And a lad grows to be man only to
find that mother is the same. If lie
errs. she weeps; if he is good and
manly, she rejoices. Hers is the only
love that lasts-endures forever.
The wolf of starvation may enter the
door, but her love is only tried to shine
the brighter. All the world may call
her son criminal, but the mother only
believes it not. Trials may beset you,
storms gather over you, vexations come,
ruin drag you down, but there is one
who stands firm in your cause, who will
never leave you. The criminal on the
scaffold has suffered in feeling because
his bad deeds would cause pang in a
mothers heart. The low and wretched,
dying in some dark abode of sin, have
died with that name upon their lips.
There is no praise like her praise there
are no sad tears that pain us SO much
as hers.

working 229 days labor of this kind
upon one tree. The tree measured
ninety-two feet III circumference at the
base, according to the statements, which
aimit OF no question in respect to gem

and the wood remaining between the
holes was cut off with chiseis on the ends
of long sticks.
