Bismarck can do, as he has done,
many remarkable things, but he cannot
stop the continued migration of the sons

bitter gall of his later life and that is the
secret of his late efforts to direct this
constant stream of migration into other
channels. and is the chief reason why he
is founding colonies in distant seas. He
is in downright earnest in the matter.

A submarine eruption occurred on
the ODD of January, off the east Cape of
Hawaii, which was witnessed by
Charles N. Spencer and others. It
consisted of q terrific explosion, by
which q column Of water was thrown
six hundred feet into the air, accompa-
MED with most terrific detonations, as
if q battery Of cannon had been dis
charged. These noises were so loud as
to have been heard forty miles away
and continued for several hours, and it
is probable that the water was disturbed
during the whole day. But as dense
smoke and steam, which came from the
submarine eruption, filed the air and
prevented any further observations,
nothing was afterward seer of it during
the day, The occurrence was followed
by a storm of wind and rain, which last
ed only afew hours. The next day was

talked Of, and it is hoped hatsome good
will come of it.

/ OMAHA, Oct. 13. Labor matters have

Of organization is progressing, and the
various trade organizations, with one
or two exceptions we're never in a more

never has been SO many out<of employ

Ity with which they adhere to their re-
spective unions, III.
Business is very dull. Every business
manin the city is complaining about
"slow collections, mo money in circu-
lation," etc,
The big real estate boom that we have
Ihad for three or four years has fallen to

begun to depreciate in value.

"Pauper Idlers.".

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 14-"The pauper
labor>of Europe" This is an expression
we often hear nowadays, and a certain
class of alleged political economists are
appealing to the voters of America to
vote for protection against the pauper
laborers of Europe and the world.
Reader, did you ever think seriously
on the expression. "pauper labor p

lent inversion of language this express
sion is? it were used by apoet to ex-
press ONE imaginary condition it would
not be 80 bad, but when it is used to ex-
press a fac:, it. is simply monstrous.
What is a pauper2
Webster says that pauper is "a poor
person especially one so INDECENT as to
depend or charity for maintenance; or
one supported by some public pro-
vision" Ill.,.
A person who is INDECENT is one who
has no property or means OF sustaining
himself. -> r.
What ilj laborer2 ..g
A laborer is one who works in the
production of wealth. IA
All wealth is produced by labor.
: Wealth is composed of things that
sustain life and make people comfort
, able. 49,.
Now, is it not strange that laborers
should be paupers2 Is it not damnable
that those who produce wealth should
depend en- charity for maintenance or be
supported at public expense2
Why should the people of this country
object to laborers coming here, when II
is labor that produces everything that
we consumed
We never hear anything about pro-
hibiting pauper idlers from coming here,
The dukes, the princes and the gllded
psupers--aye, not only paupers, but
thieves and rascals, come here, and are
wined and dined and treated to the
best the land affords, and even some Of
or "best families" are not at all shocked
when these public leeches debauch their
daughters and lead their sons into evil
ways. Those who cry the loudest for
protection from "pauper laborers' have
lot word to say about these pauper
iilers.

CINCINNATI. Oct. 17-Business, dull
politics, bright This is about the way
it stands here at present. During the
past week there has been a great out
rage perpetrated on the Cigar Makers
Unions of this city. It was done in the
following manner: Some person or per-
sons, politicians, no doubt, distributed
circulars purporting to have come from
the above organizations asking the
workmen to withhold support from one
of the great parties; and signed Cigar
Maker Unionists." The way in which
it was signed shows fraud. What makes
this look as though it was done by the
bosses combination is the fact that
another made its appearance soon after,
or simultaneously with the first mem
toned, seemingly In the interest of the
opposite political party, but denouncing
Hyman Phillips, Secretary of No. 4, and
one of the hardest workers in the cause
of labor in the city. The Union held =
joint meeting and condemned the per-
petrators of the outrage and ordered
condemnatory circulars issued.
There is not, work for one-half the
members of the labor organizations in
this city, hence it would be well for all
to give it theJgo by NJ. D. G.
