APIea For LiberaIisn.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Having read in our local papers the senti-
ments expressed at the ministers meeting
lately held in Minneapolis ON account of
Kristofer Janson's demolished church,
humbiy ask you, Mr.. Editor, space in your
valuable journal for this letter-being my
opinion in the matter. 1.-THE nineteenth een-
tury consistency" as some one said, is not
and 1 frankly express it, any theological
opinions among ministers in Minneapolis as
regards this one or that ones creed, but some
thing else, something unknown, in
fact, to the propagators of 'de-
votional differences here or elsewhere
The nineteenth century consistency is the
social revolution, to which Mr.. Janson is 8
grand devotee, and that was perhaps the very
reason why the ministers were afraid to help,
when asked to, as they always are. History
says so.
heartily agree with the sentiment of Mr.
Fritz Maurer in his letter Of May 10, printed
in the Minneapolis Tribune, that the general
opinion of the Scandinavians is not of the
kind that Rev. Falk Giertson has expressed,
when at the meeting; and dare say that Mr.
Kristofer Janson and his work are Of more
worth to civilization than the Scandinavian
mi listers and their work in minneapolis put
together. Although not an Unitarian, I am
willing to help intellectually, morally and
materially the movement he represents. I
hope he has friends enough to be able to get
what he wants without the aid of orthodox
ministers, and let me assure Mr.. Janson and
his church that the civilization of our cen-
fury is with him more than with them.

THE SLAVIC RACE

A correspondent who defends the Slavic
from the charge of being turbulent people
and whose communication appears else
where, asserts that the Slavs are purely of
Aryan origin and have no connection or
descent from the Scvthians or Huns. With
the very dim light by which we are enabled
to trace the origin of races, it is difficult to
determine these matters with precision.
But the Slavs seem to have anciently been
included in the names of the Scythians and
Sarmatians, and in the most ancient times
to which the history of the Slavs as such
can be traced, their seats were around and
near the Carpathian mountains, whence
they spread north toward the Baltic, west
toward the Elbe. and finally, after the des-
truction of the Huns, across the Danube
With this latter extension the unity of the
race ceased and they split into number of
tribes, separated from each other by pol
itical organization and different dialects.
But the origin of this race has not so
much to do with the troubles
which now confront American So
ciety as the very undesirable element
of Slavic immigration which is creating
turbulence and producing violence in the
larger cities. The GLOBE only hopes that
our correspondent is correct when he SAYS
that these social revolutionists. are not fair
representatives of the Slavic race. The
fact that they have been driven out of their
own country points to the correctness of
this statement. But it is singular fact
that the anarchists in this country belong
almost exclusively to the Slavic people.
Our correspondent refers to the fact that
the socialists in America are largely
of the German nationality. He must also
remember that the Lusatian branch of the
western stem is comprised of the remnants
of the Slavs of North Germany and if there
are German socialists they are in reality a
part of the Slavic population. But the main
point with the United States government.
and what the GLOBE urges, is to exclude
the anarchist from our population, no mat
ter what his nationality may be. The
United States is the asylum for the OPP
pressed people of other nations. but it is
not to be made the home of the anarchist
and revoIutioniSt. The freedom of our in
situations cannot be abused by being made
the instrument for the vengeance of the
nihiliSt.

He Was a Free Thinker.
To the Editor OF the Globe

Allow me few words in regard to the diff
ferenr comments touching upon the suicide
of the tailor, M. G. Moe. have known him
for more than five years, and will say in the
first place that better character as friend
or citizen can hardly be found anywhere.
Some of the paper comments indicate that
his departure from our sphere was caused by
some undue softness of mind, while
over-pious gossip has construed it
brought around by some derangement
of his senses inflicted as punishment on ac-
count of Moe being a staunch freethinker.
This is all wrong. Moe had long ago recov-
cred from the shock received through the
fckleness of his old sweetheart, and although
e man of strong affections and dislikes he
never went beyond the power Of reasoning
and self-control. And nobody who saw that
calm and pleasant face as he lay resting in
his coffin will ever try to insinuate that any
disorder Of mind ever troubled the brains
within.
Mr.. Moe did firmly believe,-and Justly too,
that inasmuch as nobody's consent was
asked, when he was put into existence, he
surely had the right to take his own counsel
in regard to leaving again,-and true to this
principle he did leave when it pleased him.
Moe suffered from disease of the lungs from
which he no longer entertained any hope Of
recovery, and as to his Judgment life could no
longer satisfy him or benefit any one else, he
decided to quit. This decision may be de-
plored, because Mr.. Moe was one OF those we
miss, but no slur to it. He lived and died "a
man.. Il.

A SECESsIONIsT.

Nova Scotia wants to secede from the
Canadian federation and threatens that if
not allowed to go in peace she will fight
her way out of the union. Nova Scotia's
principal cause of discomfort is the tariff
legislation adopted by the Dominion parla-
ment. Whenever blow is struck at free fish
it is blow struck at Nova Scotia, and conse-
quently the plucky little province is going to
protect her fish if it has to be done at the
lannon's mouth. 1t is not at all probable
that the Canadian government will consent
to peaceable secession. 1t is not in the
nature of governments to voluntarily sur
render control of any part of their territory.
Therefore Nova Scotia may as well make
up her mind to fight or to quit talking about
secession. The latter course is probably
the safest plan to pursue.

opinion from reputable citizens of all classes
that justice shall be dealt out to the leaders
who are now awaiting trial. 1t is always

that hanging is the punishment for murder.
The policemen who who were killed by the
explosion of the dynamite bomb were MUIR

for the throwing of that bomb ought to be
hung for murder. There is no necessity
for-asking suspension of public judgment

Compromised Their Claims.
Special to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, May 14.-The carpenters
who have been out on a strike for the past
two weeks have made compromise with
their bosses. When the men first went
out their demands were of the most extra
ordinary kind, among them being provis-
ion that all contractors, before making con-
tracts, must submit the bids to a committee
OF ten from the carpenters; and another
that no nOn-union men should be given en-
ployment. These demands have been
waived. The bosses agree to pay from
twenty-five to twenty-four cents an hour
according to the value of the men, the lat
ter working as many hours as they see fit.
This Is an increase of from four to six cents
an hour. This compromise is, however, not
guaranteed for any particular length of
time, the bosses reserving the right to re-
turn to the old standard in case building
operations fall off, as it is expected they
will. With this compromise of the carpen-
tiers goes the last bulwark of the eight hour
system that promised so much three weeks
ago. The only class of labor that has
been
BENEFITED BY THE MOVEMENT
is that employed by the city. There is a
movement on foot now to repeal the eight
hour ordinance and put city laborers back
with others. Manufacturing establish
ments all over the city are starting up with
full forces. Old men are taken back where
they have not been engaged in the recent
strikes and labor troubles. but
rioters find hard work in securing employ
ment. Many of the strikers have gone
back to work at smaller wages than they
received previous to the Inauguration of
the recent labor millennium, and are glad to
find places even on these terms. The Bay
View mills start up Monday. The differ
ences between the machinists and carpenters
have not yet been adjusted. but it has been
agreed to refer them to arbitration, pending
a settlement. The men, under advice of
the Assembly Knights of Labor, to which
they belong, will return to work.

70 Not Asking for an Increase.

- Not Asking Tor an Increase.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA prominent
official of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, when spoken to to-day concerning a
published statement that secret petitions
are in circulation among their employees
asking general advance in wages of 10 per
cent, said:
ann positive that no movement of the
kind is underway, and you can say so. Our
men are not dissatisfied with the wages they
are receiving, and I am satisfied that they
will not do anything so foolish. On the other
hand, we have every reason to be-
lieve that our efforts in their be-
half of late have been thor
oughly appreciated. The lately established
relief department, the provision of which
was modified at their request to meet their
ideas has been very favorably received, and
each week sees an increased membership.
There are now upward of 10000 men on the
roll of membership, and when its practical
working is better understood there will be
many more.
General Manager Pugh has received no
intimation of any such movement and was
not inclined to believe that it had any ex-
istence. 1.-The men, he said, are we'll
paid, and they know it, and for that reason
1 do not look for any agitation of the
wages question:" 1t could not be ascer-
tanned how many of the Pennsylvania rail-
road employees are connected with the
Knights of Labor, but it is generally under
stood that a good many of them are not so
associated.

Guilty the st. Louis court officers have in Sc

that MAXWELL is arraigned for trial on
the charge of being the murderer, his at
torneys insist. as they have the
right to do, on having an intelligent
jury. The court is unable to secure a
panel of intelligent jurors from the fact that
of the several hundred thousand people in
St. Louis who can read not half hundred

archists. Were LaW.Rreakers.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE mulatto wife
of the hiding anarchist, Parsons, who was
herself one of the most violent speakers in
the city, addresses the following letter to
the Daily News:
To the Editor: I beg the privilege of say
ing word to the public through the columns
Of the Daily News. l ask, in common fair
ness, suspension of public judgment as to
the anarchists now imprisoned or under the
ban. Will the people wait until our side has
had its opportunity to be heard in the courts
of general opinion? The howl has gone up
from pulpit and press now, as of old, ''crucify,
cruelty" but even an anarchist ought not to
be condemned and executed without hear
ing. Is there not danger that in the excite
ment of the hour good people will forget to
inquire whether the anarchists have really
ever violated any Of the laws of the city,
state or nation? l do not understand that
any one has charged that the meeting at Hay
market square, which the police attempted to
dispense, was an unlawful assemblage, or
that the attendants were engaged in any
riotous act when interrupted. If it be so,
were not the police, instead of the anarchists,
the law-breakers? LUCY E. PARSONS.

Brush those idle tears away.
Fie! upon your wedding day
To be crying, must say,
Seems quite out of place.

Finding that you have a heart
Meath that f1lmy lace.
Soon he'll come to claim his bride,
Do not let him see you've cried.
What, are you not satisfied
With the price he paid?
Surely it was large enough
For doll in silk and fluff,
Daintily arrayed.

Smooth those tangles in your hair;
An expression of despair
Makes you sadly pale.

Dtscontented Laborers.

ST. LOUIS, May 14.-Another strike has
been commenced in the Belcher sugar REIN
cry in this city. Some time ago large
number of Poles and Germans were i'm
ported to work in the refinery in this city,
and they have remained in their places
without Joining in any demand for shorter
hours or more wages until the present
eight hour agitation, when they demanded
an increase of pay of Is cents day. Their
demand has never been replied to, and yes
terday the entire number, fifty or sixty,
struck. In the afternoon several new men
were engaged to fill their places. This
they objected to- and collecting around the
refinery attacked and beat every new man
thew could lay hands on. The police were
summoned and dispersed the crowd, who
retreated muttering vengeance. A detail of
officers guards the works to-day.

DIGBY, N. S., May 14.-Capt. Scott of tn
steamer Lansdowne, accompanied by the
queens solicitor in the case of the schooner
David j. Adams, arrived to-day from Halifax.
Soon after their arriva awarrant to seize the
schooner was received by the sheriff of Digby
by mail and under the instructions of the
solicitor, she was seized this after
noon by the sheriff, who boarded the
vessel and nailed the warrant to the mast.
This warrant was issued by the vice adj
miralty court, and acts on the vessel and her
cargo the same as a capiaas act on an indi-
vidual about to leave the provice, that is, she
is the custody of the high sheriff of the
county Of Digby, as the deputy of the mar
shall of the vice admiralty court. The Adams
is now held by the customs ana the sheriff
cojointly. The LansdOwne will proceed to sea
tonight or tomorrow morning to look after
more bait buyers. ALI of the commissioners
have been distributed for the cruisers and q
dispatch has arrived for commissioned Off
Ger w. o. Hodges of Digby, to prepare to
take charge of cruiser. Several fishermen
belonging to the United States are seeking
bait in the lay. The Adams has been moved
to the wharf, her sails have been taken off
and ten men placed on guard. Counsel have
been retained by Consul General Phelan to
defend the case against the schooner.

THE UNIVERSAL MONARCH

The storm king is no respecter of sec
lions this season. He rides on cyclone
across the prairies of the Northwest, and
his laugh is heard in the hurricane that
leaps with delirous bounds among the
mountains of Spain. The rumbling of his
chariot wheels is heard in the rain torrents
which sweep the valleys Of Ohio, and the
fierceness of his anger Is displayed in the
tornado which levels school houses and
business blocks in one Of the fairest young
cities in the Southwest. Everywhere it is
the same story of destruction of property
and the loss of human life. There is no
section which is safer than another from his
destructive power.
