THE PULpIr AND THE LABOR CUES
TION.

Itis very gratifying to see the interest
the clergy are row taking in the labor
uro5lem. 1t has been often said in the
past few years that the pulpit is losing its
mower among the masses, but the research
and the sermons and lectures of the cler
gymen Of Inc country, from the humblest
bsckuoods minister 10 the most learned
divine, show that the clergy still come
right home to the people and are exerc!s-
ing a powerful influence in trying TO dis
cover and point out the proper relations
between man and in this great misuuder-
stsrding between labor and capital.
Below we give sayings CLEANED from ad-
dresses of some of the most prominent d.
vines of the county, which are good exam
pies of the position the pulpit is taking.
Rev. 7. De WIrT TALNAGE, in the series
of sermons on the labor question, now be-
ing published in the REGIsrER, says:
Your first dnty o, lSboring man is to
your family. Let no one out Almighty
God dictate to YOU how much you shall
supnort Them. Work when you please,
where YOU please, at what you please and
aIloW no one for q hundred milhonth part
of n second 10 interfere With your night.
When We emerge trom the present unhap'
piness, as we soon will, We shall find many

ana capital. An old tent maker put it

clsrsd: The eye csnuo: say to the hand, /

Rev DE-. CHAgLEs F. Deems OF New
York, says among other things:
The pulpit is TO apply what has been
called the Golden Rdls, the precept of our
Divine Rsde-mer 10 the man who owns
the capital and 70 the msu who performs
the labor Where this is urged in the

Cardinal GIBBONS, Of Baltimore, says
that he Re cards strikes as "a great evil to
workmsn' themselves and having on them
q most demorAhzing influence" He then
adds:
The best solution of the whole difficulty
between labor and capital is found in q

II is estimated that in the three weeks
since May l, the $4,000 wOrkiDgmen on
strike have sacrificed 50 600 900 in wages.
The loss of employers is estimated at
$500 600. Aud $40, 100000 in building
contracts, in ten cities, are said to have
been cancelled or deferred in this time,
and this is only one branch Of trade.
But from the great reduction In the
number OF strikes, it will be seen that the
outlook is more hopeful than at any time
since May l. Employers and employees
are coming to understand one another bet

TOO MUCH WATER POWER.
A Big Reservoir at East Lee, Mass.
Breaks Loose, Destroying $500, 600
Worth of Property-A Dozen People
Killed and Several Ipjured-The Town
Industries Paralyzed.

The village of East Lee, Mass, was
inundated and dozen lives lost a lit
tie before 6 O'Clock on the morning OF
the Goth, by the breaking away Of a
dam at Mud Pond reservoir, Mountain
Lake, about two and g. half miles from
the village. The pond covered many
acres of swamp, and was increased
from it's original limited size by extern
sive dams built by club of manu-
facturers as a storage place for water.
East Lee village, whose half dozen
paper mills are situated on the
stream, received it's first news Of the
accident when the flood, came pouring
down the streets, the water being from
four to six feet deep, and bringing with
it trees, portions of houses, barns,
fences, wagons and every form of NOV
able property. People fled to the
slopes of the valley, along which
the torrent was pouring, and
saw houses moved and toppled
about like chips on river. The
food passed East Lee and went on
down the road, destroying gardens,
lawns and fences and moving the
smaller buildings. 1t had not the
power, however, to wreck utterly the
larger houses. The scene is one of ter
rible desolation. Eleven bodies have
been found, and it is expected that
several more will be discovered, as
three persons who were living in the
track of the flood are missing. The
disaster throws great many hands
out of employment and literally
paralyzes all East Lee industries. The
loss in property is fully 100000
while the expense of repairing roads
and other cost that must fall on the
town will reach $4,000 more.

THE Insurance Chronicle publishes
in its fire tables a diagram which
shows at glance theratio between the
several causes of fires. From the dia-
gram it appears that incendiarism is
the greatest single cause of fires, beingre-
sponsible for more than one-fourth of
the whole number. The next most
prolific source-leaving out large
space assigned to call other specified
cases''-is the detective fue, to which
about one-twelfth of the fires are
traceable. Explosions of lamps and
lanterns come next, followed closely
by carelessness, lightning, matches and
sparks of all kinds, except those from
locomotives. Spontaneous combus-
ton and stove and stove pipes are
about on an equality, and locomotive
sparks run close race with accidents
and tramps. Ashes and gas jets are
tolerably influential, and so are explo-
sions of varnish and volatile oils.
Furnaces, friction of machinery, forest
and prairie fires and fireworks are
duly credited; while cigar stubs, steam
pipes, oil stoves and open fre-places
are among the minor causes.

THE presence of a delegation of Nor
mon women in Washington lobbying
against further legislation for the
suppression of polygamy and other
evils in Utah is significant common
tary upon the frequent statements to
the effect that travellers in the Nor
mon dominions find the spiritual
wives" bowed down with shame and
misery over their condition. The sad
truth is that the Mormon women are,
with very rare exceptions, even more
determined than the men in support
of polygamy-which serves to empha-
size the well-known psychological fact
that the sex, with all it's native good
ness and sweetness, is still often un-
accountably queer.

IT has been suggested, says the New
Orleans Picayune, that the Southern
states should now fall into line with
the North and adopt the 3Oth of May
for the decoration of the graves of their
soldiers. By common consent that
date has been fixed throughout the
North and West, and there is no rea-
son why it would not be as accepta BILE
to us as any other. Here in Louisiana
the 9th of April has been chosen, for
the reason that it is the anniversary
of the battle of Shiloh. While that
conflict was not without its influence
upon the destinies of the two sections,
it was not of that decisive character
that would mark it's anniversary as
one to be commemorated. Nor do the
soldiers of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia who had been in the service
something like a year before the fight
at Pittsburg Landing regard the day
with special favor. 1t is urged that
hereafter the 3Oth of May be set aside
as Decoration Day, and that the other
Southern states be asked to join in the
move Thelegislature could probably
be induced to declareit a legal holiday,
as it is such in so many state. of the
Union.

GOOD diplomatic relations still ex-
ist between Germany and France, the
war between them, however, being still
carried on with great fury by thenews-
papers. The papers of France have
been compelled to bear the burden of
blame for melting animosity against
the Germans, but, if the German press
is not misrepresented. no small share
of the responsibility may be placed at
their door, since in their virulent
hatred of the French they are not ex-
celled by the French detestation of
everything German.

A RAILROAD man expressed the opin-
ion recently that it would not be long
before passenger coaches will be lighted
with electric lamps. AS soon as the
electric headlight for locomotives shall
have been made success, which he
was confident it eventually would be,
the system could be easily extended
throughout the entire train, thus do
ing away with the smoky, ill-smelling
lamps which are one of the positive
discomforts of railroad travel under
the present system. Electric lamps
would be peculiarly suited for the light
ing of railway carriages, and a long.
suffering public will hope that their adj
vent may be near at hand.

WHEN one stops to think of it, how
few are the accidents of travel by rail
compared with what seem to be per-
petual menaces of danger. Take the
case reported on the Fitchburg
Road in Massachusetts. A pas
senger train was rolled down an en-
bankment some 200 feet high. The
point where the accident occurred is
the most dangerous on the road. The
train runs on the edge of an en-
bankment 200 feet above the Deer
River. The bank is steep and covered
with huge boulders and masses of
rocks. When the train arrived at this
point the track commenced to settle
under it for distance covering it's en-
tire length, and the cars went down,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-The
Senate has passed bill authorizing
the secretary of the interior to sell
timber upon the lands reserved for the
use of the Menominee tribe of Indians
in Wisconsin. The timber is to be ap-
praised by two disinterested apprais.
ers, to be appointed by the secretary,

Office at Menasha, Wis, six days before
the day of sale, which shall be adver-
tised for two months in three papers
in Wisconsin. The sale shall be held
at auction, but the timber shall not
be sold for less than the appraised
value. and for cash only. The pur-
chasers may have five years to remove
the timber. IL the secretary shall
deem it best for the Indians ne shall
authorize the Indian agent to employ
Indians to cut all or any part of said
timber into logs and haul the same to
the bank of the river instead of selling
it at auction, and the logs shall then
be sold to the highest bidder for cash.

SOUTHERN people are not only grow

more ofthis crop that any other Sec
