allsl." Mr. Iby is not a member Of tie

Iby is a free. American citizen, and has
q perfect right to oct a. watchman for

The Board Of Police Commissioners
have as much right to say who shall
chop the eompany's wood. as they have
to direct them in their choice for a pri-
vate Waterman.

iSIARVATION.

The wolf-Hunger-is at the door Of
many . poor man in this land to-day.
He has boldly shown himself at Scran-
ton rushing into houses, making a dash
at the strong grown-up members OF the
family, and. sometimes bearing off some
of the little lambs within. This wolf
has become q public enemy. So they
thought in Scranton; and the people,
with clubs in their hands, followed the
ravening beast to the Mayors chamber.
1t was charged by the indignant crowd
that the city authorities, and the State
authorities, and the national authorities
had all failed in their duty. Said one
man to the Mayor: 'For weeks past
my family and have Jared solely on
bread and water. Now the flour is given
out, and God only knows how or where
the next meal is to be gotten!" Some
we're in favor of sacking all the
bread shops along the main streets. This
proposition, however, the better judg~
ment of the hunger-pinched multitude
overruled. Tranquility for time is
restored. But he is an matchmaking
politician who fails to discern in these
low mutterings the first small blast OF
the storm that is sure to come sweep
ing over this land ii the great Labor
problem is lett MISUNDERSTANDING.
What an oversight was here! What
q tool that mayor was!
Why did he not take daily paper and
point that starving, bowling mob to tho
great fact that gold was down to 104! /!
How they would have cheered! And
that desperate wretch, whose last sack of
four was gone, how he would have
rushed home to his starving wife and
little ones, and gathering them around
him, have informed them, with tears OF
gratitude bedewing his honest counten-
ance. that our great paternal govern
ment, which was instituted "for the
benefit of the governed" and whose
grand maxim was the greatest good for
the greatest number" had made the rich
