mands and when such was the case
they have succeeded, when other.

been on the side of tho strikers
With the great public on their
side the Knights are invincible,
with it against them they are help

will have TO face is that as they

The New York Historical society lIstene ed
patiently to an address by the Rev. DR..
George Z. Ellis, of Massachusetts on "the
opening use and future OF our national do
msin." OF the future the learned gentleman
took very gloomy view. He thought that
the fifth act of our national drama had al
ready opened and that In anarchy and its
contest with law We have with US the seeds
OF our final ruin," the maturing of which
could only be checked by the religious faith
that is in the people; superior to the faiths
OF Greece and Rome at corresponding pe-
RODS OF their history.
To this General Sherman replied that he
saw no cause in the wonderful growth and
prosperity of our country in the past fly
years for gloomy feelings. To be sure, our
butfalos are exterminated, but they are ugly
beasts any how, and in place of them we have
droves OF cattle that furnish food for the
world. To be sure, we have had our West
ern lands filled up hy foreigners OF all kinds,
and even by New Englanders, but they have
improved the country. Let but the tocsin
ring and men would swarm forth on every
hand to aid the cause of this country.
The general is right He has the sympatby
OF every cheerful man who refuses 10 believe
that the country is going to the dogs be.
cause many things are not as they should be.
