Inscribed to the Miners 81 El Mere and

BIZ CHARLES GHEEsEwRTGHT.
Hark, We toilworn men Of labor, hear, ye
miners from afarl
Starving human beings crying give us bread
or give us war
Men and women shelter seeking, eager for q
B place to lie,
Dragging gaunt faced children with them,
who, ere morning dawns, may die.
SYe who toll in this fair city, heed their cry
flor warmth and bread;
Hasten quick to give them succor, see that
they and theirs are fed;
Aid those men to gain their object, help them
crush the tyrant power
Despots who are cruelty striving to trample
labor lower and lower.
Sympathetic fellow toilers, perhaps ere long
the case may be,
That we'l be in the same position as those
that surely need this plea.
Then fly to rescue those poor workers from
the soulless tYrant's clutch;
Inen whenever we may heed neip, Lhey loi
us will do as much.
Hark, We hireling hounds and traitors, traitors
to our worldwide cause;
Hear, ye men of wealth and leisure, stay
your pleasures, think and pausel
just as easy stem the torrent, as stay the
millions in their fight
For the Justice they are needing, for their
Liberty and Right
Hearken, men Of desperation, tits hard we
know to keep the peace;
But for the sake of wives and children, try
peacefully to gain release.
Listen, despots, to this warning, ere you
drive the men to blood:
If you heed moi, the day is dawning when
you'll go down with the flood.

Rooted in Rottenness.

For The Enquirer.
"Sum up the entire mlseries and woes
of the human race, and a large proper
ton ofsthem can be placed either to
cardplaying or intemperance as the
prime cause,n SAYS Iowa Boy" on the
eighth page of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
page given oyer to mutual admiration
of divers stupidities.
Being only boy the author of the
foregoing piece of superfciality may be
pardoned, but similar statements are
made SO frequently by people who ought
to know better, that it may be worth
while to notice it.
CardplaYing, unassociated with gam.
bling, plays very insignificant part In
human affairs, and playing for stakes,
though very deplorable departure
from rectitude, is like the explosion of a
percussion cap compared with an earth
quake when set over against that re-
spectacle gambling by which the food
produced by the poor, passes into the
mouths of the rich. @ ..
To loathe drunkenness one needs but
to gaze once into the maudlin idiocy oi
an intoxicated mans face. In the midst
of widespread drunkenness, civilization
can make but Indifferent headway.
do net excuse the beastliness of the
drinker, and yet, is drunkenness the
prime cause of misery, or is misery
the cause of drunkenness Is it not IN
large number of cases deprivation Of
social and intellectual pleasure an d
physical comforts that drives men into
this horrible degradation? If we find
more drunkenness among the. suffering
poor, than among the tolerably comfort.
able middle classes shall we hastily
infer that il was. the drunkenness that
caused the poverty 1t may have
aggravated the suferings ofpoverty but
it did not originate them-how could 1T
have done so when the most industrious
sober and economical are also poor
though far better conditioned than il
drunkenness were added to their mise
ries. You may visit those eastern peo,
pie among whom intemperance was
recently introduced along with the
christian religion and its missionaries
and you will find that misery and woe'
date back through history and tradition
as far as the monopoly of all lands by a
few persons dates. '
"Intemperance and card-playing'
cause suffering and sorrow, but when
we look for the ''prime cause" we must
study what Abbott, the historian, speaks
of at the "irrepressible conflict between
aristocratic usurpation and popular
rights" In this arlstocratic usurpation
this aristocracY of riches, of strength
and of sex, may be found the great evil
overshadowing every other evil, the
evil beside which intemperance has
grown as an unsightly toadstool against
the decaying trunk of monster tree
the lesser rooted in the rottenness of the
greater. CLARA DIXON DAVIDSON.

TAFFY? Well should say SO. The
daily papers of this city gave it to the
workingmen in speaking of the Sunday
parade. There were nearly four thou
sand votes in the line. These are the
identical papers which so roughly abused
the same worklngmen few months
since. Had there been only few men
in the procession, the daily papers would
have made all sorts of sport of it; the
editors know they would, and the man
who does not know it is confounded
fool. There are some workingmen who
can keep their eyes free from wool.

criminal. No long-winded speeches or
