admirably. His has two chambers.
The upper for roosting purposes, with
low perches and sliding bottom to
facilitate the escape Of droppings, is
furnished with doors that open all
along the front. The lower chamber
has an alley along the back, and nests
at the front with sliding doors to each
so that the eggs can be readily collect
ed. A hole in each end of the top and
bottom compartments allows the birds
to pass freely in and out. The parti-
tions between the nests are loose, SO
that any required nests may be shut
off from the others. Properly white
washed, this can be kept quite sweet,
and would save many a fine bird at a
very trifiing cost of time, trouble or
money.

The workingmen's claims seem to be as
Stunning political aspect in recent local
elections. The formation Of political
party upon the issues under discussion we
apprehend will work injury to the work
ingmen's cause. The main plank In the
platform is to be upon the subject of wages,
10 which is to be attached the cry OF ''down
with railroad monopolies." This is a very
indiscreet movement, as it only serves as a
cover to n sort of communism which will
become the capital of demagogues who
would lead American artizans and laborers
on to ruin, for their own personal and indi-
vldual advantage. The plea Of the laborer
for relief is probable to come before con-
gress a. lis next session with more than or.
binary potency. All the workingmen OF
this country have the right OF suffrage, and
1t would be ill-advised to raise partizan
banner. They should vote for men who
are capable and just for all Ofhces, and
leave them at perfect liberty upon the
Issues of the day. The result will be sound
legislation coming from body possessing
patriotism and intelligence. Under proper
legislation capital aud labor would bt
equally protected, as they ought to be.

The prompt action Of Governor Hart
ranft in the recent riots and strikes in Penn
sylvania has won for him golden express
sions of appreciation. Lavlessness was at
once suppressed ard stamped out. AL
though there is little fear of any repetition
of rioting, still he believes in sleeping upon
his arms and being upon the safe side. In
this the president and cabinet council seem
to agree, and that portion of the regular
army which took part in suppressing the
recent disturbances will not be scattered
over the country, but be held at convenient
stations east of the Mississippi river. so as
to be in readiness for any possible emery.

measure, although there may be nothing tc

have good moral effect and tend to nip In
the bud the lawless propositions OF those
who may feel disaffected. The democratic
members Of congress have now good op
portunity to consider their measures Of
Gripping the army of the United States

The Labor Reformers,

Blanton Duncan, in letter to the presi-
dent recently, said that the labor question
would have an important influence on the
elections in the west, and that that organ
ization would carry the municipal election
In Louisville. His prophecy in this latter
respect has proved true. He also informed
the president tina. similar movement
would be initiated In Ohio, and that the
labor reformers, uniting with the green
back people, who already have placed a
candidate for governor in the field, would
receive as many votes as Bishop, the demo-
cratic candidate. Information from other
sources corroborate the statement of Dun
can that there is likely to be a labor movo-
ment In Ohio this fall which will make its
influence felt in the election.

Church Creeds and Burdens.

Editor Rutland Globe:
When / wrote my first article on this sub
iect it was not to provoke controversy, but
because l was satisfied, by examining the
lessons of the third question, international

rect one. l have found fault with no one
creed, only counseled harmony-a union,
for various reasons given.
My present article will be largely quota

only give quotation msrks, not the chapter

claim that ''the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Jesus Christ" After
the last supper Christ says, "Peace leave
with you My peace give unto you, not
as tho world giyeth." Does not the world
give dissension, strife, discord, contention7
Is there worse contention than that which
springs from, or is the results OF, these va
rious creeds1 You will not want me to
cite instances. Paul says, Fulfill my joy,
that you be like minded, having the sams

fessed christians do things without disput-
ings ? are we not too apt to "seek our own,

things as lost for the knowledge of Christ
and as doing that he might win Him.
