The Sunday Temperance Meet
ingS.

The meeting last Sunday after
noon was held in the U. B. Church,
and addressed by DR.. Warner and
Judge Okey Johnson. The w. C.
t. U. editor of the FREEMAN, also
made an appeal to the Christian
women Of the city to enlist their
more active cooperation in max
ing these Sunday afternoon meet
ings more largely attended and
profitable.
The Judges appeal was espec-
tally for the rising generation. He
agreed with the temperance apos-
tie, Francis Murphy, whose meet
ings in Chicago he attended two
weeks before, that nothing but the
grace of God could save the drunk
ard, but" said he, eff prohibition
will save the boys, gipe as prohibi-
tion."
By mistake the Journal notes the
meeting as held at the Baptist, in
stead of the U, B. Church.

ance meetings elsewhere.

train, when he saw that cohesion was inc
vitable, sprang from his engine, but Thomas,
the fireman, was killed instantly. To add to
the horror of the scene, the boiler of the dunn

carried death and terrible injuries to the man

The number killed outright is estimated
at fifteen; seven of the wounded had died at
last reports, and several others were not ex-
pected to live. The fault lay with the con-
ductor Of the freight tram. He is under ar

T Besides Charles Thomas, fireman of the
freight train, the following were killed in

The preventive for war of the poor
against the rich always lies in the ex-
istence of middle class which has no
boundary lines, but which rather fades
from one class into the other. When
this condition of things is changed, and
the people become all members of either
one or the other of the two classes the
very rich or the very poor, the contrast
is too great to escape notice. The poor
naturally see that the distinction is un-
just to them, and what is the result !? In
Gods name, what should it be? The
prayers and tears of the poor; the wrath
of the desperate, and the warnings of
the wise are not needed, and the land is
deluged with blood. Whittier are we
tending to-day? He who does not see
the small cloud ON the sky is either
blind or looking through stained glass.

A LOT of Socialists have been in ses-
sion in Baltimore to consider what is
best to be done for the good of America.
The convention was made up of for
eigners, some of whom had not been
naturalized more than year There is
something amusing in this, and it does
not need elaboration to bring it out
Denver Republican.
Now, just look at this. The associated
press, of which the Republican is a
cousin, avoided any mention of the So
cialistic congress until after its adjourn
ment, and then it barely announced the
fact that it had adjourned. The session
at Baltimore was secret, and yet the Re.
publican, upon the bare announcement
that,it had been held, presumes to tell
what business was done and what was
the nativity of all the delegates. There
could be no objection raised to an open
warfare against Socialism and its advo-
Gates, other than the natural and honest

GENERAL SHERMAN, in his letter to Mr..
John Swinton, denying the remarks at
ytributed to him on the occasion of the
Governors Island banquet, says, AT no
epoch or period of our national history
has our country enjoyed a larger measure
of prosperity than to-day, and never
was there less reason to apprehend
danger from without or within" Any
man who, occupying point of observa-
ton as comprehensive as that of Gen
eral Sherman's, who makes such an as
sertion as that, in the face of the
turbulent condition of American society,
is either a fool or liar, and that such a
one should make the remarks credited to
the general at the banquet and then
deny them, can easily be believed. And
this loose-tongued, short-memory gen
tleman wants to be president. He'll do.

The two weeks which end with this
evening have witnessed one Of the mosa
satisfactory engagements ever played in
this city. The Boston Ideal Opera com
pany is unquestionably the superior Of
| all predecessors hatline. There have
been operatic combinations here which
have probably excelled in some particu-
lar and even that is an open question
but so strong are the Ideals in every
part, from the highest to the lowest, that
q comparison is impossible. One NO
ticeable thing aboutthis engagement tis
the usual apology of "bad colds, owing
to the altitude" The soloists have ap-
peared to sing better as the engagement
advanced. This has been particularly
so Of Miss Stone. who, coming asshe did
without the blowing Of trumpets which
usually heralds the approach ofsopranos
sometimes not half as good singers as
she, she has sung her way right into the
hearts of those who have heard her.
Messrs. Whitney and Karl lave made
hits and have been appauded at each
appearance. In fact every member Of
the company has won the approval of
our people, and an announcement Of the
coming Of the Ideals will ever cause a
thrilIin all lovers Of sweet music in this
city. Atthe matinee this afternoon Fra
Diavolon will be given, and the engage
ment closes thisleyenlng with the beau
tiful military musical gem, 'The Mus
keteers."
On Monday evening Rice's Surprise
Party open for q week in musical come
dies, absurdities and burlesques. 1t is
said this company has had several yalu-
able additions to its ranks lately and the
press of the east speaks in the highest
terms of their performances. The usual

The Cleveland LaborS Star says: "Wha
is the reason of the ominous unrest anc
discomfort of the great toiling multitude
the steady concentration of the workmer
into Knights of Labor. Trades Assem- blies
and Trades Unions, and the bitter cries
against the entertainments of capital
1t is the everlasting protest against un-
fair distribution of the nations earnings
that gives to few the great bulk o.

ence to the many. 1t is not that the
workman envies any man his posses
sions, or has purpose to despoil him
But it means that while the national
earning from every form of industry
gives less than dollar day to each
man, woman and child in. the land
and thousands and scores of thousands
are grasped into one favored hand, the
rightful shares Of thousands of toilefs
have been defrauded of their honest
share to accomplish it 1t means that
the knowledge has come to the people
that great wealth cannot come to one ex-
cept at the expense of the many; that
the production of labor is forced by
triekery and fraud out of the fair chan
nels of distribution that would be just to
all. And this unrest and concentration
of the toiling people into helpful unions
has this ominous meaning; that this
greed of selfshness which steadily bears
them down poorer, while millionaires
grow richer and harder in their rapacious
injustice. must stop. BY lawful process
if possible, but stop at all hazards and at
any cost. If the latter, then God help
