and then little all together. We repeat
that wealth, or capital, II you please, is
the offspring of Labor, but the child has
grown insolent and saucy, and often mis-
treats its paternal father, and in turn,
Labor, has been driven to do that which
was wrong. As an American, and from
principle, we are opposed to Anarchy.
The plant will not live and grow in our
country. What We want is an under
standing, a thorough and full knowledge
of the relation between Capital and La
h0r, and, with this, there should arise a
feeling Of sympathy and respect, a closer
relation, not that naughty indifference,
which only tends TO widen the breach.
Show M country that looks upon La
tor as degrading, and will show you a
country where the annals Of crime is ap-
palling. But upon the other hand where
Labor and the labOrer are respected and
encouraged, there is peace, prosperity
and cOntentment, which will, in the end
bring them TO true knowledge of mans
relation to man, and will lead them tt
higher aspirations in this life and fol-
eternity. JUSTICE.

as this planted on rich soil, the yield
would be immense and would double that
of the common variety. More care
should be taken by our planters in the
selection Of seed for planting corn and

Labor and Capital.

Communicated to the Madison Indiana
Herald:
There is no question with which the
Nation has TO deal at this time of more
importance and of greater interest to
every individual than that Of Labor and
Capital. To solve the question and de
termine the relation between the two Is
tho great problem Of the day. That
there is wide breach, and that wrong
has been done, none can leny. That
there must be harmony in order to be
successful is apparent to any thinking
mind. Let US notice what are the actual
relations between the two. You have
capital. say, $4,000, hut you say l wont
use it unless can get labor at what l
am willing to pay for it. You 60 ON
this way for ten years. how much Of
your $4,000 have you got at that time?
What benefit have you been to the CON-
munityp Whom have you helped feed
through your giving employment How
much have you added to the wealth Of
the city or State in which you live !?
Nothing But you are poorer yourself
and if you are sensible man, you haven't
conscience void of offen9e either. Ca
pital will exhaust itself. 1t is not self
existing. II must be used in order to ey-
list. 1t cannot labor. 1t is child Ct
Labor, was begot by Labor, and must he
fed and supported by the same. God
said that man should earn his bread by
the sweat Of his face. But if some men
had the giving out of that bread there
would be great deal of sweating and
but little bread. The same One said the
laborer was worthy Of his hire. Yes You
say, but He didn't say how much that
hire should be. The man Of strong arms
is rich in muscle, is powerful in resource
that will bring him wealth but he cannot

OF less value to him. You invest $4,000

DRO WYIYG ACCIDENT

AT sPoFFoRD LAKE. SAD BREAKUP OF
CAMPING PARTY.
Charles Bowers and Ida Walker, members
Of a camping party from Amherst, Mass,
were drowned in Spofiord lake, Chesterfield,
N. H., on Tuesday last. The party consisted
of IL persons, who arrived at the lake the
day before and had hired the Armstrong cot
tsge, on the east side, taking their meals at
ThAtchers. On Tuesday forenoon Bowers,
accompanied by George Merritt, another
member OF the party, went over to the north
side OF the lake and procured an old catAma-
ran which was brought there last year by q.
NJ OsgoOd OF Amherst, for the purpose Of
taking the party out sailing. The craft,
though a little leaky, was believed to be per
feotly safe, and the party all got on board at
TbAtcher's, where they had broakfasted, and
for half an hour they had an enjoyable sail
It got to be noon, and the boat was not more
than 10 or 20 rods distant from Thatcher's
landing when the dinner call sounded, and
she was rounded to and headed for the wharf
One OF the boats compartments was by this
time nearly filled with water, and Bowers had
begun to bail il out-his hRlf-brother, Samuel
Kellogg, having the helm-when, before the
ladies could go TO the other side OF the boat
the leaking side sank under the WATER throw
ing the boat on its side and spiling the whole
party into the lake. Several persons on
shore. including Mr.. Thatcher himself saw
the catastrophe, and promptly went out in
small boats to the relief OF the party, and
we're fortunate enough to save all but the two
persons mentioned, Miss Walker and Mr..
Bowers, who did not come to the surface.
The water at this point is about - feet deep.
Kellogg, by diving, succeeded in eight or ten
minutes in bringing up Bowers's body, but
all efforts ut resuscItatIOn proved unavailing,
although physicians from Chesterfield, Win
chester and BrattleborO we're at once sum.
moned aud every known means Of restoration
resorted to. Mr. Bowers WAS a good swim
mer, but it WAS found that he had received
an injury across the forehead and nose, prob
ably from the boom swinging around, which
stunned him and caused his drowning Bow
ers was | years of age and unmarried. He
was leader and general fAvOrite among his
associates. and was well known in his section
As clerk of the Amherst House. The body Of
Miss Walker was found to be entangled in the
boats rigging, and period Of some 40 min
utes elapsed before 1t was recovered. Miss
Walker WAS q daughter Of Charles Walker Of
Amherst, and was 90 years of age. Some Of
the other members OF the party
whom was Miss Jennie Hastings, daughter Of
Conductor Hastings of the New London
Northern railroad, who was particular friend
OF Miss Walker-were picked up in par
TALLY unconscious condition, and all suffered
more or less from the effects of fright and
exhaustion. The report that tho persons
drowned were betrothed lovers ID without
foundation. The Amherst people we're
promptly notified OF the sad event, and sew
friends came up in the afternoon, acoompa-
MED by an undertaken. Ga Wednesday the
bodies were placed in baskets aud the entire
party returned to Amherst.
