| WANT to say, without wish to fiatter,
that never saw braver or more de-
termined set of men in my life, than
those who were in the Missouri Pacific
and Wabash strikes. They knew their
rights and dared maintain them. At
the same time they conducted tn cir
affairs in such an orderly and business
like manner that they commanded the
respect and support of all fair-minded
citizens, and Jay Gould found that he
had not only his lnsulted and indignant
employees to contend with, but also the
noble men and women, who are not in
his employ, along the line Of his roads.
The leaders of the strike were all sober
and intelligent men, who realized the
responsibilities of their positions, and
by their systematic, gentlemanly con-
duct won for themselves places in the
hearts oftheir fellow-wo and gained
the high esteem of the public generally.

THE LABOR UNION is the name of a
spicy, well-edited little daily paper pub
lished at Sedalia, Missouri. 1t was
started just at the close of the recent rail
road strike in those parts, and has the
appearance OF a paper that has come to
stay. 1t is credit to the workingmen
of tie little town of Sedalia to know
that they have the good judgment to
sustain daily paper devoted exclusively
to their interests. Fitzgerald & Carpen-
ter are the publishers of the Union.

Christ was "begotten" and Conceived"

Hence "the gospel of the Hebrews

ancient and authentic gospel, excluded
from the "canon Of scripture" because it
did not'suit Constantine) expressly de-
clares that "the Holy Ghost was the
mother of Christ" ages before He was
born of Mary and hence, in the
eighteenth verse of the first chapter of
Johnit is written: mo man hath seen
God at any time the only begotten Son

Still We Grow.
From the Cincinnati Spokesman

From the Cincinnati spokesman.
Twenty-Five years ago we were 80
100000 of people; now we are nearly
6O,O00,0OO, Then we had al cities
and towns OF over 5000 inhabitants,
Now we have 286 of such cities and
towns. Then the total population of
our cities was 100000, now it is
about 100000.
Our coal mines then produced H.
100000 tons, now 85,OOO,OOO tons,
or six times as much.
The iron product amounted to 9OO,-
900 tons of ore; to-day 1T foots up
over 100000 tons a year, almost a
nine-fold increase.
In 1860 our metal industries en-
ployed about 50 900 hands, consumed
$780, 100000 worth of material, and
turned out about $1SO,O0O,000 in
annual products.
To-day these industries employ 300, )
900 hands, consume 100000 Of
material, and their annual product
amounts to $66O,OOO, 900 a year.
In 1860 the wood industries en-
ployed 100000 persons; to-day they
employ 100000, while the value OF
their annual product has trebled.
The wooden industry employed 600
persons then, and now employs $780,
900, while our home mills, which pro-
duced goods of the value of $SO,OOO,-
600 in 1860, now turn out an annual
product worth $270,O0O,OOO.
Finally, there is cotton. In 1860
we imported 22O,OOO,OOO yards OF
cotton goods; in 1881 we only i'm
ported 100000 yards.
In the meantime the number OF
hands employed in American cotton
mills has increased to 100000, and
we export over $50, 100000 yards OF
cotton goods year, instead OF i'm
porting 227 100000 yards as we used
to do.
In the meantime we have nearly
five times as many miles of railways,
and double the number of farms,
yielding more than double the number
of bushels of cereals.
In the production of sheep, we had
100000 of them in 1860, to-day
we have over 100000 ofthem; and
whereas we then produced in this
country 6O,OOO,OOO pounds OF WOOL
now we produce 24O,OOO,OOO pounds
Finally, the total Of our exports has
doubled. In 1860 it stood at $780,.
100000, and now in stands ct about
| 5000, 100000.

A SPARKLING GEM.
BY FREDERIC LUCIA soUIREs.

A sparkling gem
In uiad6m--
In hue a bit OF sky
May have the power
of April shower
No heart of love can die
Kind words may heal
The wounds of steel,
And heal the scar for aye!
But words of hate
Are ne err too late
To cause our love to del
A gentle word
In love is heard,
Altho' tits said to chlde!
The word of love
Is heard above
By life is claim d brldel
. A smile may oft
Make blame seem soft,
When spoken for our veal!
But all! the word,
That like a sword,
Deals wounds 1t cannot heal!
God bless the one
Who, as the sun,
Effulgence sheds around!
To cheer the heart
OF sorrow part
Bywords of cheerful sound!
God bless her who,
For e'er holds true,
When others turn against
For from their wrath
Our lonely path
BY loves securely fenc d
Tho those we love
All else above
Should falsely turn away
If one holds true
TO me and you,
We've nothing more to say!
For Woman's love
Is as a glove,
To SHIELD from every sting!
And every time
l write a ryhme,
To her I'll tribute bring
