nothing to interfere with his duties as
Christian. We are not working TO save
souls-that is the duty of the church. We
wish 10 better your condition morally. So
cially. financially aud Intellectually. ltmay
be objected that il is a secret society.
Not more so than the family circle.
What would you think of the man that told
everything that took place in his family?
Would YOU not think he was fool? So we
ask you to keep secret Except 10 your con-
feSSor, if you have one) what transpires in

1t is not a political organization, and
party politics are not allowed in our as
sembles. The laboring men of this country
HAVE BEEN HOODWINKED
by shysters. demagogues and One-horse
politicians long enough. II the time should
ever come for political movement, we
will be prepared to carry 1t for
ward without the advice OF rum
soaked. wire-pulljng political bosses.
We are not trades union, yet we retain
and foster all the fraternal characteristics
and protection of single trades union. and
by our multiplied power we protect all.
And again we are opposed TO strikes, and
everything in our power will be done TO
avert them. All lawful and honorable
means will be employed To settle grievances,
vet il sometimes becomes necessary TO teach
men a lesson. and when everything else
fails and IL becomes a question of whether
our members will stay i'm and be slaves or
freemen, then the power Of the order will
be asserted and that silent and powerful
weapon, the boycott, will be used. But let
no man. or organization of men, come TO us
expecting that we will take up their hight
for them.
1t is not beneficial society, and we pay
no sick benefits. Should sickness or acct
dent befall one of our number, we will rem
der such aid as lies within our power. yet a
local assembly may form such bylaws as
they may see fit in regard TO sick benefits.
The mission of our order is not TO give
charity, but by changing present social
conditions render charity unnecessary.
This can only be brought about by securing
shorter hours of toll. Let us unite and
work for that. Then, as we gather our
children around us at night. let us teach
them the history of our country, the duties
they owe to their fellow men, themselves
and to God. Let us teach them that III

that will advance the cause of humanity,
tighten the burdens of toll, or elevate the

Secretary Martens of the Minnesota Bar
rel company has taken the pains to compile
some figures on this point based upon the
earnings of members of his own company,
and they demonstrate with good deal of
viyidness the scanty income upon which
the average cooper is compelled to subsist.
The appended table is the result of Secre-
tary Martens labors. He takes for cOnsid-
Grafton period of forty-one weeks, May
Is to Feb. %, and includes only those men
who have worked at all times when there
was work to be had in the cOmpany's shops.
During twenty-three weeks thirteen men
received ii cents per barrel, their weekly
earnings averaged $3.50; during the thirteen
weeks they received IL cents the average
was S7.49; during the five weeks they re-
ceiyed IL cents the average was S7.37; and
the average per man for the fOrty-One weeks
was S6.9IIl, or a fraction over S1.15 per
day. Out or the forty-one weeks, the shop
ran full time six weeks, and was entirely
idle for like period. For a considerable
portion of the time the men were assessed
81 weekly in pc ymenJ for their shares, and

There are about ten of them-the boys at
the Grand opera house who make up the
corp of ushers. and among them is an en-
terprisng "agitator." who recently instilled
into the youthful minds OF his companions
certain ideas about underpaid labor, the
rights of ushers and the expressions of sor-
did capital. Realizing the fact that in
union there is strength, they recently organ
lZed an UsheTS union. They were getting
% cents a performance and after mature
deliveration they decided that 80 cents
would be their Just share Of the profits, so
on Thursday evening as the crowd begun TO
come in a committee presented Mr.. Beech.
the gentleman to whom they are directly
responsible. with paper which contained
their demands and the signatures of seven
strikers. They declared it was a strike and
that not a seat should be Topped until the
same was granted. The boys were called
up and talked to, and all but four weak
ened and went TO their posts. -Four left
and the force was divided 10 supply their
places. Manager Scott is jubilant over the
victory, and realizes what the terrible con-
sequences would have been had boycott
been declared.

A LETTER descriptive of Liege by a
correspondent whose previous letters
to the APPEAL have won him many
friends, will be found in another part
of this Issue. 1t is in the writer's best
vein, and is full of descriptive bits that
are as charming as 30 many fine eff
fects on canvas. The sweet pathos with
which his description of his visit to the
hospital for poor children is invested
will not fail CT attention, and with
many may perhaps compel the SYM
pathetic tear. What he says of the
dogs is pervsded by keen sense Of
humor and is full of human feeling.
Altogether it is an excelling letter, full
of merit, and will, we feel sure, be
read with Pleasure as it may with
profit,

JOHN A. LOGAN, who is illiterate
and therefore the prey of his brutal
tendencies, his prejudices and the
passions of his lower nature, yester-
day made a speech in Pittsburg that
is the complete measure Of the man.
1t is utterly unworthy of one occupy
ing a place in the United States
Senate, where there are at least
a few men Of brains and ability.
1t is a speech wanting in the
considerations that ought to be a
Senator's chief claim to his placs, and
Of course is utterly wanting in the
elevation of character that man oc-
cupying go august position should
evidence in all that he says and does.
There is a great deal of sham, of pre-
tense and OF assumption in the
Senate, which year by year
grows less and less Democratic.
Senators seem to be overcome by
self conscious sense OF their position
and loss themselves in the pettyness
OF their pretences and the "CouTte-
sizes" OF the Senate. John shares in
this tomfoolery, and besides, is urged
by his ignorance to follies that are a
disgrace to the politics Of the country.
He has never forgotten, and can never
forget, that he was onee pro-
slavery Democrat. Hence his
abuse Of the Democratic party
and his ieverish eagerness to
abuse the South and the Oonfederacy
he betrayed. John looks what he
is--a mouthiug blatherskite, whose
political generslship is his only claim
10 consideration by any Of his Coun-
rymen.
