A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.

1t can not be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t can not be
that our life is double, cast up by
the ocean of eternity to float for q
moment on its waves and then
sink into nothingness. Else why
is it that the glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the
temple OF our hearts are forever
wandering about unsatisfied Why
is it that the RAINBOW and the cloud
come over us with a beauty that is
not of earth, and then pass off and
leave US to muse upon their faded
loneliness? Why Is it that the
stars, which hold their festivals
around the midnight throne, are
set so far above the grasp OF our
limited faculties, forever knocking
us with their unapproachable
glory? And finally, why is it that
the bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our view for a
moment, and then taken from us,
leaving the thousand streams to
flow back to Alpine torrents upon
our hearts? We are born for a
higher destiny then that of earth
there is realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will
spread out before us like the lslets
that slumber IN the ocean, and
where the beautiful beings that
here pass before US like shadows
will stay in our presence forever ~

his wife, said: II charge you, re

was sheltered. How much cour
age you must have had, and how
much confidence in yourself, to
have practically said to her, 4 will
be to you more than your father
or mother, more than all the
friends you ever had or ever can
have. L feel myself competent to
take you through life. 1 know
you are an immortal being. L feel
myself competent to defend you
and make you happy. Come with
me, though your present home is
bright and comfortable. Come
with me. l will be to you more
than all the world beside. You
can trust me- Now, how should

her better than any being in the

May morning and her lips sweeter
than honey. Do net daceIre her

Business Suspended and More
, Trouble Expected.
Fort WORTH, April ESPECIAL.
The police attempted to take {
freight train south about noon to,
day on the Missouri-Pacifc rail,
way. No objection was made until
1t came 10 the Fort Worth and New
Orleans railway crossing, two
miles from the city, when it was
discovered that parties, supposed
to be strikers, were ahead on the
track, signaling them to stop. As
they did not pretend to stop, the
supposed strikers turned the
switch, compelling them to stop.
The engine was loaded down with
armed deputies, commanded by the
notorious James Cartwright, who
commanded the strikers 10 leave
possession OF the track. They re-
piled they were unarmed. and had
no intention ofvIolcnce toward the
railroad. The officers then started
to the engine, and, on the way
back, discovered party of armed
men in ambush, close to the track,
behind some bushes. They COM
manded them to throw up their
hands, which they did, bringing
up n loaded Winchester. Fire was
at once opened and about $50 shots
were exchanged. Officers Chas.
Sneed and Dick Townsend were
killed officer Fulford was shot in
the thighs and probably fatally
wounded. Tom Mace, 4 striker
was shot in the head and will die.
Several others on both sides were
wounded, but no names were
learned. The strikers were driven
from their ambush and fled to the
river bottom with the officers in
hot pursuit. About 2:3O p. m.
about two hundred citizens armed
with WInchesters marched from
the courthouse to the Missouri
Pacific yard with the intention of
taking out trains, but so for no
attempt has been m.de to do any
thing. The stores are all closed |
and well guarded. Tho strikers
are now more determined than
ever and say they will not allow
freight trains to leave, as they have
been lenient and have gwen Gould
and HoxIe o show to arbitrate and |
that they will use violence if nee
essary to gain their point. The
city is in a foment of excitement
and more trouble is feared. Of
ticers have not yet returned from
the chase.

WAGES AND PROFITS.

st. Louis Republican.
Mr.. Powderly does not believe
in strikes. He has little faith in
their remedial qualities for the
Affections OF labor. He regards
them as evils. They are enor-
mously costly, and the worst part
of their cost falls with bitter effect
upon the party least ablo to bear
1.-THE strikers themselves. But
the employing party and the
general public come IN also for a
share in the loss, so that at the
end of protracted strike the three
parties-strikers, employers and
the public-fnd they have lost 4
million dollars or more, and not q
single advantage or benefit to
show for it. This is why Mr..
Powderly believes that strikes
should be postponed as long as
possible, and, if possible, avoided
entirely. He would resort to them
only as a desperate remedy for a
desperate case that will yield to
nothing else.
Powderly is right, and his wise
counsels on this subject present
him to the world. not only as a
representative workingman and a
true friend of his class, but as q
true patriot and friend of law and
order besides. II is an interesting
fact that in all the letters, ad-
dresses and interviews with which
this worklngmans name is con-
nected one piece OF evil advice can
not be found.
His object is to replace the
wages system in our industries
with the practice of profit sharing.
The wage system, he declares, is
wholly wrong-unjust, in Its work
ing, to both employer and en-
ploye. 1t makes labor, that is, the
living OF the working man, worth
only the market price, no matter
how small that may be. On the
other hand, it makes labor worth
all the market price, no matter
how great it may be. Under this
system, then, the employer and the
empIoye are perpetually in antag-
onism-the one seeking to cheaper
wages, the other TO appreciate
them and the lntermlnable strikes
that embltter both parties and Gre
ate a chronic social disorder are
the inevitable result. The profit
sharing system which Powderly
proposes as q substitute is simply
the plan of paying the working
men In q productive establishment
fair wages, and the employer a
fixed rate of interest; paying all
charges IN the conduct of the bus
mess, and distributing the sur
plus, if there be any, equally be-
tween the working-men and the
proprietor or company. 1t is not
wholly an experiment; it has been
tried with satisfactory results in
some cases, and Mr.. Powderly be-
lieves it contains a peaceful solu-
ton of the issue between capital
and labor.
