THE mechanic who loafs during his leis-
ure hours in bar-rooms and there spends the
money he should devote to his family, or, if
he have none, to his own personal advance
ment, can have no claim upon the public for
any sympathy when question of raising or
reducing wages is up for consideration. Such
a man, when he strikes for higher wages, is
merely striking for more beer or more whisky,
and if he gets it he is thus only put in pos
downward march to poverty and the gutter
But worse than that he puts, by bis conduct
an argument in the mouths of rat-employers
which they are not slow TO use against the
sober and industrious of the fraternity.

WHY D.?

o. W. HOLMES
At Meeting Of Young Msl's CAristi1n Union.
Why lnger round the sunken wrecks,
Where old Armadas found their graves?
Why slumber on the sleepy decks
While foam and clash the angry waves?
Up When the storm blast rends the clouds
And winged with ruin sweeps the gale
Young feet must climb the quivering masts,
Young hands must reef the bursting saili
Leave us to fight the tyrant creeds,
Who felt their shackles. feel their scars;
The cheerful sunlight little heeds
The brutes that prowled beneath the stars;
The dawn is here, the day-star shows
The spoils of many a battle won;
But sin and sorrow still are foes
That face US in the morning sun.
Who sleeps beneath yon hammered mounds,
The proudly sorrowing mourner seeks
The garland-bearing crowd surrounds?
A bright hairt boy with beardless cheeks.
'1is time this fallen world should rise;
Let Youth the sacred work begin
What nobler task, what fairer prize
Than Earth TO save and Heaven to wiR?

MORE LIGHT
On the held-Resecrans-Chase Con-
trOversy.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Colonel A. X. Hun
ton, of this city, who commanded the First
Michigan engineering corps at Chickamauga,
was interviewed on the Garfield -Rosecrans-
Chase controversy, and says he was in po-
sition TO know what was going on at head
quarters at the time, and knew the substance
of many of the cipher dispatches passing
that Garfield may have been indiscreet, but
never disloyal to his commander. Proofs are in
existence TO substantiate this statement, that
there are officers now in the regular army
who could clear Garfeld's memory from the
aspersion were it not for fear of offending "a
West Point graduate" apparently meaning
General Rosecrans. He refused to state the
nature of this evidence on the ground that
it was not the proper time for it. He be-
lieves this controversy was instituted by
Rosecrans's friends to put him in training for
the presidency of the United States.

it was shown that one months pay was al

PARK BENJAMIN, for many years editor Of

that the ordinary magnetic telephone, with
out the transmitter, will be public property
before the end of the year. The infringe
ments are coming so fast upon the Bell Com

made the magnetic telephone years ago, that
