LABOR TROUBLES.
Eight or Ten Thousand WOrkmen Still
Out OF the Lumber Yards at Chicago
Other Matters.
CHICAGO. Nav II


There was no attempt to resume operations
in the West Side lumber district Tuesday
morning, and eight to ten thousand men en-
ployed in the yards and the planning mills are
still idle. The lumber men claim that the
great majority of the men are overawed by
Bohemian Socialists who infest the region. A
large force of police continues to be stationed
in the district to guard against any outbreak.
The yards in the north and south divisions of
the city and south Chicago have all fully re-
sumed on the old basis of ten hours work
and ten hours pay. so that the lumber busi-
ness of the city is only lightly affected.
The metal working establishments opened
again Tuesday morning with larger working
forces than Monday and proprietors expect
to see all the men on duty again within few
days The furniture workers constitute the
only class which is holding out for the eight
hour system.
Boot and shoe manufacturers who tried the
eight hour day as an experiment are consid-
ering the advisabilty of returning to ten
hours.
The Brunswick, Bake, Collender Billiard
Table Company, Tuesday morning, claimed
that there had been between 100 and 80 men
At work. This number was nearly sufficient
to run the factory.
A great crowd of strikers stood about a
factory on Market street. The manager tel
phoned for police. Asquad was Immediately
sen, down and the strikers rapidly disap-
peared
Police reserves are still on duty at their
respective stations.
The police are devoting their energies in
procuring evidence against the Anarchists
and it is claimed that on trial of the conspir-
ators evidence will be ample for the convic-
tion of August Spies, Schwab, Parsons and
Fischer of murder.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCr
"inthrop Hostler, Horse and Buggy
Mlssins. - The People Don't Know
whether to Call it Robbery, Murder,
or Mental Alteration.
WINTHROP, Nav IL

WINTHROP, May IL.
Inc people of Winthrop are interested in a
queer loss that befell Mr.. A. d. Jenness at
an early hour Monday morning. Mr.. Jen.
ness runs the stable in connection with the
winthrop House and has had working for
him, as hostler, for a mopth past, a Young
man named Charles Robbins. Robbins has
relatives both in Winthrop and Wayne and
made MS own appearance here about two
months ago. During the month he worked
FOR Jenness Robbins appeared faithful and
honest and was man who never drank drop
OF liquor. However, Monday morning at
four, the stable doors were found wide open
and the hostler had disappeared with the best
horse in the stable together with a buggy.
Investigation proved that he had gone to his
room sometime between l2 Sunday night and
and A. M Monday and put on his best suit
besides taking extra clothing and then made
off.
he never was allowed to take horse or
let one without consulting Mr.. Jenness, who
was all the time in the hotel. All inquiries
and search on Monday failed to find any
trace of the missing man and team. Mr.
Jenness has sent word to livery stable keep
ers throughout the State to look out for the
turnout. Robbins is described as being a
peculiar looking man with a small head,
STOPPING shoulders, swinging gait and about
twenty-five or thirty years of age. He is not
very intelligent and can neither read nor
write. The horse was a bay mare and would
weigh $50 pounds full eyed and full breasted,
good walker and prompt driver; scar on the
hind leg below gambrel joint The buggy
was a second hand side-bar Brewster made
with spring top, painted dark; cushions and
backs were trimmed with leather. At first
people were 10th to believe that the hostler
stole the team but the discovery that he had
taken his clothes seemed to settle the matter
Some contend that two unknown drunken
men, who were about the town in the evening
and night, persuaded him to drive them off
some ways and having disposed of him made
off with the team. These people think the
missing hostler will be found bound or
knocked on the head in some adjacent woods.
Others think that Robbins is not right in his
head and that he may have wandered off in a
fit of mental alteration. In any case further
developments in the odd disappearance will
be anxiously awaited. Mr.. Jenness only
bought the horse last week

HOME RULE.
A Prediction that GladstOne's Bill is
Doomed to Defeat.
LONDON. Nav Ii.

LONDON, Nav IL.
The detection among the supporters OF
Gladstone has grown rapidly today. A num-
ber of the adherents of Lord Harrington and
Chamberlain has risen from SS to l0S. The
English and Scotch radical papers that have
hitherto supported Gladstone now concur thai
his concessions are inadequate; that the joint
commission is practically impossible and that
the home rule bill is doomed to defeat unless
crucial amendments be made. The oppo-
nents calculate that there will be majority
of 40 against the bill. Gladstone has beer
urged to assent from day to day to the dis
cussion of the bill, and he has promised to
reply on the subject Thursday. One hun
dred and twenty-five members will speak dur.
ing the debate. Sir Henry James will open
Thursday and will be followed by Campbell
Bannerman and Sir Wm. Vernon Barcourt
Chamberlain has prepared venomed attack
on Gladstone.

Fair PLAY il All that We Ask,

How many prohibition speeches
and lectures have we heard in this
town and not one of them made be-
fore a licensed public which had the
opportunity of reply! Every one has
been made behind the fortress of a
pulpit or surrounded by an ecclesias-
teal court, which the instincts and
teachings of a gentleman would not
disturb. Were this a question ttat
concerns churches and christian bod
les exclusively, we would not say a
word. But it concerns the trade and
commerce of this town; it concerns
the property and occupation of good
citizens; it concerns the happiness
and well-being of cultivated families;
and they have q right to q showing
any discussion that involves these
interests. But, 60 into the church
and say that saloons are the gate
way to hell and the men that keep
them are the entlcing agents of the
to mislead nnr people; old and
young, and retire from such a con-
quest without the opportunity of an
swer, is moral cowardice; and wesay
with all the force Of its meaning.
The Grenada gazette. (Grenada, Miss.) 1885-18??, 1886-05-15
DON'T RE UNEASY.

We wish both friends and foes t.
to the sentiments expressed IN these
two columns to know that FIVE could
throw the slightest obstruction in the
pathway of any church, even the
humblest and most obscure, We
would scorn to do it. We are willing
that svery man shall go to heaven in
a boat of his own choice. If he don't
like the "Old Ship of Zion" there are
quite a number of smaller craft al
ways ready to weigh anchor for the
promised land that lies beyond the
ever dark and rolling river. But,
what is a church? Is it the ideas of
each and every nan of all associated
body of christians, Or pagans, as the
case may be? Or is it the ritual of
service and the IN preached =?
Or is it the creed of beliefs, confess
sions of faith, enunciated dOgmas,
disciplines of government? These
latter are the constitutions of our
churches, and when we attack any of
these it will be time enough to hold
us responsible for attacking any of
the churches. Let IS ask right here,
Is prohibition in drinking wine or
whisky, brandy or beer, a plank in
any of their constitutions? We ask a
plain question, and wish it answered
without any circumlocution of logic,
which can prove a chestnut horse and
q horse chestnut one and the same
thing. Holding up for analysis what
any preacher MAY say or write on the
subject of prohibition could be no
more an attack on the church than
an opinion or speech of a lawyer in
which we did not agree, would be at
lacking his profession or the science
of jurisprudence. SO it would be with
the diagnosis or an dissertation of a
physician in which we could not ac-
cord-not an attack upon his profess
sion nor the science of medicine.
Church people must learn that The
preachers are chosen officers of the
church, but not THE CHURCH; and as
such we will hold them, but always
with the highest respect on every
subject that has to be discussed before
the people. While in their pulpits
and preaching the doctrines of the
christian Bible as we learned them in
our youth from the Revs. Pierce,
Howard, .Borens, Styles, letters and
others, some of whom still live, they
will never be disturbed by us if the
most profound respect to their char
'cter and admiration for their elo-
luel1ce is keeping the peace.

WINE AND ITS USES.

1t Is a little strange TO us that chris
tian people should under any condi
ton denounce the use of wine, tn
universal stimulant of antiquit,
among both Jew and Gentle, pagan
and christian. We read of but tw,
orders of people mentioned in tn,
Scriptures who foreswore the use o
wine, the RechaIites and Nazarites
The former lived with the Isrealites
but belonged to the family of Jethero
the father-in-law of Moses. Theil
distinctive principles were three
To drink no wine; have no houses
nor lands, but they lived in tents and
wandered about, These were genuine
prohibitionists, and a lIce set to fol-
low this day, when every mar wants
a house, a corn field and a 'tater''
patch, if no more. The Nazarites
were but few, and nobody knows any
thing of their origin, but that they
were prohibitionists is sure, for they
eschewed wine, never cut their hair,
but made vows extending from eight
days to lifetime, and we have but
two characters that took Il lifetime
vow, Sampson and John the Baptist.
They were genuine teetotalers. How
about Christ and his Apostles? Christ
said that John the Baptist came
neither eating bread nor drinking
wine and you say he hath a devil.
The sol of man is come eating and
drinking and We say, behold a glut-
tonOus man and a wine bibber, a
friend Of Publicans and sinners"
These are the actual literal words of
the VII Chapter Of Luke. If that
does not settle the question that
Christ used wine, there il no impart
in language. But step further.
See him at the wedding supper in
Cana of G%alilee, converting, under
MS own direction eighteen gallons Of
water into wine, and then telling the
servant bear "a goblet we supp6se) to
the Governor (the Syposiarch) of
the feast. For what? That he might
test its purity and value. Read
what the Governor said about 1t,
which was that it was superlatively
good but did not then know how It
was made, Remember, that we do
not say that Christ was "a "wine bib.
but that he used it when ii suit
ed his material wants and tastes. and
there is no logic nor sophistry which
oyerturn the conclusion. Yet
christian meii and women now for
bid it's use BY prohibition. This is
the stream rising higher than the
fountain.
