Minister and Gravedigger.

In Scotch country parish, not long
ago, there lived a church officer who had
filled that office and that of gravedigger
for the long space Of fifty years. 'Sus-
picion had long been entertained that
be was in the habit of helping himself
out Of the collection plate whenever
opportunity permitted. It was difficult
Of course to prove this. At last, how
ever, the sum of one pound was alb
stracted from a missionary box Which
stood in the vestry, and everything COM
bined to point out this man as the eul-
Drit. The elders told the minister that
something must really be done. The
minister SAID, Leave him to me, and I'll
see what can be done" The following
Sabbath, after the forenoon service, the
minister was taking of; his gown and
bands; and being alone in the vestry
with the suspected man, he thought the
opportunity was too good to be lost, SO
he said, "Andtew, have you heard of the
money that is missing from the box?"
90, ay," said Andrew, Il was hearing
something about it." "Andrew,r con-
tnued the other, very gravely, "the
matter lies between you and me. We
are the only two who have access to the
box. Either you or must be the thief"
"Deed, sir" rejoined the imperturbable
Andrew, its just as you say; we're the
only twa that has had access to the box.

An Answer to "Isabel."
,ndence san Francisco Truth.

Correspondence San Francisco truth.
Under the heading of "Woman," in
your more than usually interesting mum.
Der of last week, is a communication
from isabel, that merits perusal, though
needing little correction
"Of all the causes of revolution at
present seething at the bottom of society
there is none so potent, so deadly and
dangerous as the injustice done to
women"
"When woman was loved, cared for
and respected, and when she was worthy
Of that respect, there was peace and
home at present there is not home, but
hell, where peace, now slumbering, shall
soon wake as war"
Isabel is lead to make these remarks
from the fact that the newly elected re-
corder, Mr.. Bryan, proposes male assist
ants in his office, to the exclusion of
females.
That Mr.. Brvan's action, and words in
connection Herewith, are censurable, is
true, and Isabel has right to censure
him, but not to assume that Mr.. Bryan
speaks the sentiments of man at large,
and SO indulge herself in giving vent to
half column of abuse Of the entire
sex.
SIS it possible" she says, that no
other avenue of employment shall be
open to women but the beer saloon and
concert hall?" forgetting that in her first
paragraph she speaks of women "toilerS

From the Hayes Valley Advertiser.

From the Hayes Valley Advertiser.
Some Of the eastern merchants, who
trade with China, report that "the man
darins are obstructing American trade
in China since the passage of the re-
striction bill" And this trash is being
telegraphed all over the union. 1t is
merely an outcropping of the plot to
bring about repeal or modification of
the restriction act. The merchants
know that the mandarins don't care a
copper about the restriction act don't
wish their countrymen to come here at
all, unless they happen to be in the traf-
fc themselves, and that they always have
ohstructed American trade and all other
trade, carried on by foreigners, as tmuch
and as far as they dared. They know
that the Chinese were whipped into al
LOWING white men to enter and trade in
certain ports that every such privilege
has been wrenched from them by force,
and that neither the lives nor property
of white foreigners would be safe for a.,
single day on Chinese soil but for the,
protection of men-of-war. They were.
taught by Lord Elgin and Baron Gros:
that not even the imperial palace at
Peking was safe from the avenging arms
of England and France, and since that
time they have confined themselves to
Constructing trade" instead of the more
congenial sport of numbering mission
aries and plundering merchants, as they
used to do.

York Coal exchanges and not as it tshould
be, in the open coal markets. To-day
coal is sold cheaper in Boston or Buffalo
than at retail in Philadelphia Vast
furtunes are being built up by a few
through their absolute control of this
rich region. Consumers pay more for
eoal than tits worth; miners dig coal
for less than they should, because there
are only half dozen employers lin all
that region, and they work for each
others interests.
1t would bewell if this giant monopoly
could go no further; but the example of
its success has aroused the jealousy of
the mighty railroad king, Vanderbilt,
and he has through his agents already
bought up vast tracts of coal land through
the interior of the state. He is con-
structing a railroad through the state to
tap the rich coal fields. He intends to-
mine, ship and sell coal. He intends to
pay as little to miners for digging the
coal and charge the consumers as much
for it as circumstances will allow. When
he finds the markets at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Buffalo and all
through the country short of coal he will
put up 'freights so the small operators
along his line cannot ship coal, then he
will buy their coal up cheap, ship it to
all these markets over his. own line and
sell it at high prices, which he made
himself In this way he can make mill
ions. He can crowd down the price of
coal at the mines and thus compel the
operators to reduce the wages of their
miners. What good would striking do ?
If coal freights were 25 cents ton
certain distance he could make them so
cents or $l.UO if he saw fit. In short,
Vanderbilt intends to. make another
anthracite coal monopoly in the Clear
field coal region.
And what are the operators and miners
of that region doing? Nothing. What
can they do? Wanderbilt's $1O0,0OO,000
is mighty power. He can buy what he I
pleases. Ther1 is trouble ahead to the
operators and miners and to all who use
Clear6eld coal. Vanderbilt means no
good to the people of Pennsylvania. He
has no pious intentions in coming in
among us. He sees an opportunity to
drive out all the small operators and
land owners and sell coal at speculative
rates.
The great Pennsylvania road has never
attempted anything of the sort 1t was
never accused of crowding out small
operators or dealing unjustly with its
army of employees. 1t has good record.
Vanderbilt cannot cannot control it or
drive it. He comes into the state to
to injure it. The Labor World warns
the Clearfeld miners long before actual
danger is in sight that they and their
employers had better beware of Van
derbiIt.

Another Giant Monopoly.
From the Labor World.

FTOm INC LdDOT W UIIU.
1t has been years since the coal miners
of the anthricate coal regions struck for
higher wages. And why? Is it because
they are paid so we'll? 1t seems not, as
hundreds of them are constantly making
efforts to escape from that region as
though plague held it. Thelreason is
that few giant corporations control the
production and shipment of coal, and
have driven small operators to the. wall
Enterprise has departed from theregion,
competition is unknown. The price of
coal is regulated in the lparlors of New

down to lawyers. Isabel would make
out that the recorders Office was all the
world outside of saloon and concert
halls" and that all mankind stood in
Mr.. Bryan's boots, and closes by saying
''there is no help for you (woman), but
rather through yeu must the help, of
God come to man in the hour Of his ap-
preaching calamity" #
Now, Isabel, this is not just Who EN-
ploys the $4,000 Chinese house maids
help, or what you will, in this city, to
the exclusion of women? Who, buys all
the Chinese made shoes, underwear, ETC.?
Who supports the 5000 Chinese laun-
dries? ~ ..-ers- FL EEhe
When noble band of men organized a
league of deliverance here to open way
for the employment of men and women,
giving their time and money, day and
night, and Sunday, too, where was the
first female pen orhand to aid them in
their thankless task? 1 did not see it !!
1t certainly was not aided by women as
a rule, and it certainly failed for that
reason. .'.
Isabel speaks of "revolution at present
seething at the bottom of society,"" and
her head. is clear. 1t is even so. But
society" means men as we'll as women,
and revolt means resistance to oppres-
sion, and that means "obedienceto God"
Yes, Isabel, men, too, are oppressed, ex-
cluded from employment, and other ina
lienable right, and but half paid for the
labor they are permitted to perform ;
and in the causes Of their impoverish7
ment and degradation lie the causes of
women's even worse condition..
And in the coming struggle We will
need womens help. From the nature of
things, men must be the pioneers. If
we wait for "the hel p of God through
women" only, it will be tardy advance.
Where are the women to-day, "the mint
toilers, teachers and librarians?" Are
they seeking light? Of the 5000 work
ing women of San Francisco, how many
subscribe for Truth? How many for
fashion books and novels? There is
your field for missionary work, Isabel.
The men are fast becoming converted.
Now for the women.
But the limit Of space allowed contrib
utors compels me to close here, asking
Isabel's pardon for attempting to give
her mans view of things, and hoping
that when she looks little farther into
politics than the recorders office, she
will use her splendid composing talentin
trying toindicate the causes that produce
such men as she took up her able pen to
rebuke.
If permitted I may speak more of
these causes feeling that to "Agitate,
Educate and. Organize" each must add
his mite, and in union is strength and
victory.

done so, read progress and Poverty"
