Ducks WITHOUT PoNps.-In re-
ply to the question, "Can l keep
ducks without a pond or stream" the
Poultry Monthly says: ave say yes /;
a tank made Of plank say by 10 feet,
with one end sloping and with cleats,
that they may get out easily, is all the
water necessary for the old ones. If
this can be arranged by hydrant, so
as to be constantly moving, all the bet
ter. But for young ducks, pan one
inch deep in which water can stand for
them to paddle in, is all the water
needed. Young ducks, if they have
free access to pond or stream before
they are all six weeks old, or till their
first coat of feathers is grown, will
prove very disastrous to them All
the water necessary is that they have
some place to go and bathe each day
that they may be clean. Again, such
artificial places can be kept clean of
polliwogs, which the young ducks
often eat in such quantities as to kill
them. The only advantage of pond
or stream to old ducks is that they get
their own living, Without a pond OF
marsh we have to feed to greater ex-
tent. If young ducks are kept from
water, as above, they rear as easily as
chickens. In France ducks are fatten-
ed quickly and killed early, which is
the great secret of economy in this
branch of poultry farming.

The best lawyers, the best inventors,
the best business men are all on the pay
roll of the monopolists. The corpora
.tions have not only monopolized the
means of producing wealth, but they are
even forcing corner" in brains. In
attracting to themselves the service of
the most active and vigorous intellects
and the strongest wills, the confederated
monopolies are doubly intrenched. The
past history of the world gives no record
Of any system of oppression so irlsidious,
SO strong and so all -pervading as that Of
the predatory: corporations which are
absorbing the substance and undermining
the liberties of the. American people.

That Blessed Child,

One of those naturally bright children
who are always getting people into diff

evening with his mother, when he asked
aloud: - -... .~..- g..

"Hush !' whispered his mother, eau,
tiously, "it's hymn" !.
"No it amt, ma," continued the hope
full "It's woman; say, who'st going

voice, "you are disturbing the meeting.
1t means going home to die no more" :.
Dine no more. Oh, ma, don't they
eat anything there? / don't want to 60
there if they don't have any dinners"
His mother explained to him as well
as she possibly could, and Willie sat still
for a quarter of minute, his bright eyes
rowing about the church. Then he asked
in still whisper: III 4 1 p.

ThouS hts for Thinkers.

From the Chicago Express.
The love of the plutocrats runs out
toward horses, not men. They build
$4,000 stables, but they waste no money
on men. The average man does not
have half SO mitch consideration in this
world as a thoroughbred horse.
The talk of the inevitable panic is
confession Of judgment against the ex'
isting financial systems. The intelligence
which sustains system that, breeds peri
odical papics is ON par with that Of the
people who have engaged in great wars
for the glorifcation of some butcher of
men.
The times are threatening. Labor is
seeking for its true relations to capital
and beg gins to turn desperate in the
search. The adjustment must come.
That is inevitable. We hope it may be
peaceful. We pray for peace, but peace
never comes before justice. Indeed,
Justice is the mother of peace.
Poverty is the greatest foe to morality +;
it also restrains that intellectual devel-
upment which makes man most useful
to his kind. 1t is not until man sur
rounds himself with fortunate circum-
stances, with prosperity, comfort and
opportunities for the exercise of his best
facilities, that he is developed to that
standard in the scale of being required
for great endeavor and high accomplish
ment.
The king of England lives forever. He
passes through many forms, but. he does
not die. He is great conqueror, a great
warrior, vain and arrogant woman, a
fop, libertine, an idiot, statesman, sage
and soldier, fierce and cruel tyrant,
stupid beer drinker, sober matron, but
all the time king. So the corporation
lives forever. 1t is even worse than a
king, for it has no human feeling or
emotion. Its motive or profit, and its
only inspiration is avarice. The corpora
tion is greater menace than noble or
king.

10 the Editor of The Labor Enquirer.
DEAR SIR-Let the vain world boast
of its crowned heads, imperious statues,
royalty and royal blood-so great is the
depraved idolatry it pays to rank and
nobiity-but far above them all, in its
native grandeur, sublimlty and preemi-
nence, stands the eternal, time-hOnored
aristocracy of labor. Descended from
the very foundations of the earth, it has
witnessed unshaken, the myriad des-
truction of kings, empires and domLnions
the greatest, that have fretted away
their brief and honored existences only
to crumble and decay to shapeless ruin,
amidst the chaos and CONSERVATION of
their votaries, leaving historical records
of crime and disgrace-damnable and
ignominious to every newborn genera
ton
Labor is the. only line of greatness
that has survived the swift and devasta-
ting changes of time. 1t built the. world
famed cities of tie Orient and saw them
decline, totter and fall. With barred and
brawny arms it perfected the ancient
Greek and Roman architecture, the
models of the world in design, beauty
and strength. Temples Of ancient and

LATER.

Just prior to going to press we have
secured a copy of house bill No. 65, in
troduced by Van Yalkenburg, which is
one of the bills alluded to above as
opposed to the interests Of the working
man, and is characteristic of that mon
opolistic tinker. Here it is;
Section /. If any person or persons or
any person or persons acting as the
agent or agents, or in the employ of>a ny
organization or association, shall, with
out the consent of the party or parties
entitled to the rightful possession of any
coal bank, gold, silver or copper mine or
manufacturing establishment in the
state of Colorado. enter any shaft tqn-
mel or other opening leading into said
mines, or into any yards or buildings
used by any manufacturing company,
with the intent to commit any injury
thereto, or for the purpose of in any
manner interfering with any of the
workmen employed, or who shall by
threats or otherwise influence any of
said employees to leave such employ
ment, or shall attempt TO create any dis
turbance of any kind, which will in anv
manner interfere with continuous work
ing of. coal bank, gold, silver or copper
mine, or manufacturing establishment,
such person or persons, whether for
themselves or as agents of some organ
ization, so offending shall be deemed
guilty of misdomean and upon con-
viction shall be fined in the sum not less
than $500 nor more than 81 900, and i'm
prisoned in the state penitentiary for a
period of not less than one nor more
than five years, or by both fine and i'm
prsonment, at the discretion of the
! court.
This is snothing more nor less than a
hidden blow at trades, unions. 1t
is the first step towards declaring the
conferences Of working men for thespur-
pose of bettering their condition a
crime. The penal code Of New York,
which has aroused the just indignation
of every fair-minded man on the CONT
nent, is not worse than this intends.
ANY fair and honest man comedies the
right of any individual or set of indl-
viduals to use every honorable means
to secure Just remuneration for services
rendered, or in other ways bettering
their condition. We call upon the mem
bers of the legislature to carefully con-
slider house bill No. IS before voting on
it, and if one is found foolish enough tc
support it in the face Of the protest ot
every honest Wageworker in the state
let him be prepared to stand the Conse
quences and the re;ribution that comes
sooner or later to the man so reckless as
to attempt to place his foot upon the
neck Of a mighty people.

to the very. heavens, declared the mighty
handiwork of labor. Pompeii, the
wicked, corrupt and sensual, owed all its
gaudy splendors, not to its pagan priests
and flaming images, but to the creative,
genius of labor, decorating, refining and
harmonizing everything, everywhere.
Labor saw the glories of all these vanish,
like dew before the rising sun-destroyed
and forever obliterated. III ,-&. If
What, then, l ask, hath prouder an
cestry or more illustrous renown than
labor2 Can any earthly potentate claim
greater power or more extensive sway :?
No. The birth of the world was the
birth of labor, and it's glorious destiny
will not be completed until there be
general dissolution of the whole design.
Look up, descendants of a lineage so
venerable, productive and supreme J.!
Realize the dignity of your ancestral
greatness! Heed not the SCOTS and
frowns of the silly fools who think to
pride themselves upon the ashes of the
past. Your royalty is living and actual
existence-not the vague spectre of what
has been, but what's! You are laborers,
and ought, to be proud of it. The mag
nifcent edifces of great cities, the tow
ering spires, the lofty domes; the in
genious contriyances of mechanism; that
brightest star in the diadem of intel
ligence, the great daily newspaper, herald
Of truth and justice; all-all attestto the
superiority of the ancestry of labor!
Yield not an inch of your just dues
and true dignity to any hostile. forces
Measure your dues by your merits, and
let your dignity be commensurate with
your honor and selfesteem. Respect
your own standard, if in turn you wish
to be respected. Glory in the brillian
array of your ranks, in the magniticen
successes, in the cheering progress being
made. in the boundless resources still
at command for advancement and ever
lasting fame, remembering that no crow
of earthly sovereignty and potency cal
compare with the selfconsciousness
having defended your rights and de
served your honor, meriting the fina
benediction of "well done, good anc
faithful servant"
Should that spirit of harmony an(
union prevail that now seems to b.
actuating the great masses surgin|
around the inspiring banner of labor
the setting sun of 1883 will shine upol
a much more thorough system of organi
zation than at present exists. The pres
tige of so ancient and honorable caus
will be content with no less. Protection
in the future demands it. So may it be

An Exemption Law Introduced Which
viii Be a Godsend to the
Family.
Convict Labor Laws Which Conflict
and Do Not Do Justice to
Honesty, :

The legislature of Colorado is just
closing the second week Of its present
session and the period past is particu-
larly marked by tie large number of
bills introduced, including proposed
amendments and new laws on nearly all
subjects Of interest to the people of the
commonwealth. A number of bills re-
lating particularly to the workingman
have been introduced both in the senate
and house 1t is gratifying to see that
the working classes have so many friends
in this assembly, and that they have
gone to work in earnest in the interests
of labor, in as far as they have progress
ed filling their pledges made during the
campaign and at the polls. 1t only re-
mains neN to SEE that the work inaugu-
rated is conscientiously and zealously
prosecuted, and that the good bills in
trodueed become laws.
Two bills have been introduced which,
from their titles, we are led to believe
are adverse to our cause, but owing to
the dilatoriness and incompetency of the
public printer, we could not procure
copies of them. They will receive con-
sideration when we are able to procure
copies.
Three lien laws have been introduced,
two I'M the house and one in the senate.
Senator TiIford has introduced bill
which allows lien for any sum due for
labor performed, and it appears to US to
cover the case as we'll as we need expect
at present. Mr.. Pisko, & the house, has
also a bill of about the same nature, not
being so voluminous as that presented
by. the senator, and it appears to US, in
our limited knowledge Of law, that there
is very little choice, and if the friends of
honest labor and justice are numerous
enough to pass either, great good will
have been accomplished. Mr.. Green, of
the house, has also presented lien bill
but we find objection in it, inasmuch as
it defines that no lien can be taken for
anv amount less than $l5, This will not
do IF a man has right to protect him
self against the loss Of Sl5, for which he
has performed honest labor, we can see
no reason why he should not have the
same RIGHT when thesum due is less than
that amount. Mr.. Green's bill would
undoubtedly fully cover the contingency
of contractor endeavoring to secure
himself but what is needed is a law that
will protect all alike, be it a laborer at
s1.5o'per day or the heaviest contractor
in the state
Mr.. Pisko has presented bill which
should become law, as it covers ground
not covered by the other lien laws, and
is necessary to the protection of certain
class. Section / of this bill provides
.That for all personal service rendered
after this act shall take effect, by any
i person acting in the capacity of house
seryantIor common laborer, no property
shall be exempt from seizure and sale
under execution, provided, that suit be
brought to recover the same within the
time in the next section mentioned.
