DENVER, Nov. 13.-What is the differ
ence between Christian believing and
Christian li7ing2
Church historians sometimes treat US
to great array of figures to prove the
progress of Christianity in the world.
and attempt to show that within a few
more years the church will conquer the
world for Christ.
Far be it from me to blame the minis
ters for attempting to show that their
services are of some yalue to the com
munitY; but figures are of little account
in this matter. II it could be shown by
figures that church members a-e supe-
nor in character to other men and
women, then figures would count; but
at the outset We will ask the churches
to demonstrate whether there be any
superiority in the lives of their members
over other members of the community.
Profession goes for nothing IN the alb
sence of proof as the most religious
countries in the world, by profession,
are the most degraded in character. The
same may be said of churches as of na-
Etions-the loudest professors Of saintli,
ness are the ugliest in life and the lowest
in character, as those who believe aloud
are the least to be trusted.
The churches are always willing to
increase their membership ty admitting
anyone willing to confess his or her own
depravity, and trust to the righteousness
of some other person for purity Of life
and character. So that numbers do not
establish any point as to tie success Of
Christianity, as { hr1stian believing is

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 10.
To the Officers and Members OF All Trades
Unions of America:
FELLOW WORKERS On May 18, 1886, a
conference of the chief officers Of various
National and International Trades Unions
was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at
which twenty National and International
Unions were represented, and twelve more
sent letters of sympathy rendering their
support to the conference. This made at
that time thirty-two National and Intena-
tional Trades Unions, with 1857, 1856 members
in good standing.
Since then quite number of Trade Union
conventions have been held, at all of which
the action of the Trade Union conference
has been emphaticallY and fully endorsed,
and desire for closer federation or alli-
ance of all Trades Unions has been gener-
ally expressed. Not only that, but great
impetus has been given to the formation of
National Trades Unions, and several new

As to Voting.

For the Enquirer.
In an old number of Truth may be
found the following: IN this city (san
Franclsco) there are ordinarily cast 49,
900 votes; 81, 900 of these are the ballots
of dupes, tools, fools and slaves. On the
dav when these men refuse to 60 to the
polls the 5000 masters VIII understand
that the slaves have wAKED UP and JUS
tice will begin to show its presence.
Therefore, honest men, VOTE NO
MORE."-JaQues Populus.
Perhaps such argument as this is the
source of certain theories that the ballot
is useless. Twenty-Five thousand men
of Chicago voted for labor few weeks
ago. Does anyone now think that these
25OOO could have frightened the masters
more by not voting? There were $4,000
voters in Chicago who d d not vote. Did
their refusal to vote produce any Won
derful etfect2 On the contrary. few are
aware of the fact. Some of them were
laborers who could not leave work /; vet
their masters were not alarmed. A lar
ger portion were Anarchists in the real
sense. They were traders and loafers
who care nothing for public affairs. They
only wish to trade for big profits, OF
lend for big interest. The state neither
aids nor hinders them in their schemes
except occasionally to compel them to
keep their bargains good with one an

Hanging the>Wrong MEN.

Bob Burdette is sometimes a philoso-
pher as we'll as funny, and there is more
cool philosophy in the following than
in MANY thousand page octave:
"Herr Most was not the first man who
broke the laws and taught other men to
do 80 in the east.
"If we begin in New York to hang
men who hate the law and defy 1t, and
break it, We will run out of rope long be-
fore we get to Lake Michigan.
when fnancier runs off to Canada
with a million, the one whose little de-
posit of SIS went to make up the million,
becomes an Anarchist and wants to
throw bomb at somebody.
when hungry man with a ungry
wife and children is sent to Jail for
Stealing sack of -four, while the de-
faulting cashier is permitted to 60 free
with one-half his stealings if he will give
up the other half, the convict makes up
his mi1d to set fire to house as soon as
he gets out.
when a merchant promises to ray
81 for his goods, and then fails and is
let off by paying 80 cents, but makes
his tenants pay full re It or get out, the
evlcted tenant feels like sand bagging
somebody.
"When a railroad company counts its
yearly earnings by the millions, and
works its employees seven davs in the
week at starvation wages, 1t is nurs ng
a brood of Anarchists.
Hang the Anarchists Pm afraid
the last would have to commit suicide
or go unhanged.
"The bomb that exploded IN Chicago
may have been thrown by the eight
condemned men, but they did not make
it.
Hard, sordid, grasping, pitlless
greedy hands spent good manV years
making that bomb. 1t is well enough
to hang the Anarchists, nv boy, but
am afraid we're hanging the wrong men.
