they were not of the rank and file, but
majors or generals, who in time of dam
ger remained at convenient distance
In the BACKGROUND, received the glory

daddle," they were privileged char
acters and remained at home to take
care of themselves and the war widows.
Gould and his kin deserve some credit
for they decided that the walking was
not good for the soldiers and furnished
railroads to rush them ION to the front
and to DEATH" and left them with the
pleasant rejoinder, "boys, will see you
later" Many of the brave soldiers are
still there. What fools these poor men
be to take up arms and venture life and
limb on the field of battle IN behalf of
the wealthy; not for themselves or
country, for they have nothing to lose or
to protect, for the country with its lands
and gold belongs to the wealthy, the
very class who oppross them.
If the country and Its laws does not
properly protect the poor, why should
they buckle on their armor when the
country and its owners are in peril ?
Why not let them do their own fight
in92 Are the affections of the rich any
stronger than those of the poor? Then
why should poor family be deprived
of their only support and protector
when the rich family have already &C.

Wealth and standing should exoner-
a no man from performing the duties
of life side by side with his less fortu-

If we are all equal before the law we
should be 80 treated by the law. but it
is very evident that the law is not al
ways justice. Let us have no more sub
stitutes or servile leglons, but let every
man, rich and poor, do his duty towards
God and his country and let all be
treated alike on the broad plain of equal
rights and strict equality. BosToN.

What the Strikes Mean.

1t Is idle to cry peace when there is no
peace, and to imagin that the preaching
of moderation can only avail when the
strongest of passions are aroused. These
strikes mean war and that civil war not
a war between organized states like that
whose epoch has with US just closed, but
war between organized factions within
the state, which ranges neighbor against
neighbor and draws lines of battle in
the city streets. 1t is the House OF
Have" and the House of Want" that
are coming into collision, and they everv-
where iostle each other. To be sure,
this is as yet only negative war, which
resorts to blockaee and not to bomb
she'll but it is war in spirit. And when
passions are reused and men are mar
q olad the negative may fash into the
his great gfa.Ies->.-, role of physical force,

A Circular to Members of the Graft,
From General Secretary
Mcclure.

Editor Labor Enquirer
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 7.
Will you kindly give the following
prominence through your excellent jour
nal:
The present low condition of the car
penter trade, the low bids and cutting of
prices among contractors, and the down
ward tendency of wages, demand that
the carpenters should take some meas
urps for their own protection.
Like other trades the carpenters must
organize and Dand themselves together
in one general body. In each city they
must organ ize union and join our
brotherhood. 1t has local unions or
branches in $50 towns throughout the
United States and Canada. Our society
is ON a trades union basis, for mutual
protection aud with benevolent objects.
1t is growing very rapidly, and we wish
to still further extend it's influence.
The benefits we extend are $3.50 on
the death of a member, $3.50 in case of
disability, $50 on the death of the wife
of a member. We have paid out thou
sands of dollars in benefits the past four
years and are In good financial condl-
ton.
We also aid our members in sickness,
assist each other to find employment,
and sustain one another in every laud-
able and honest effort to elevate the
condition of our craft.
Seven carpenters are sufficient to form
q local union and secure charter.
Constitutions, circulars, documents
and further information relating to the
brotherhood, will be freely furnished BY
me upon application.
Yours fraternslly,
P.J. MCGUIRE,
General Secretary, Lock box l80, Cleve'

To the politician the shaking up ol
the dry bones of old political parties
brings to his amazed apprehension "a
new deal" all around, and to the hu-
ma nitarian nothing is clearer than that
tyrants must yield and the reign of JUS
tice be established.
To temperance people the "irresist
ible conflict" is at hand when the HON 9
and all it represents must take issue
with the devil of greed and selfshne ess
so bent on destroy it.
To the workers of the worl in the
light of approaching freedom is appar-
ent the dissolution of the wage system
and the final establishment of their
claim to their own hard earnings-to
equality before the law, not as made by
their, oppressors but the higher law
which now begins to be practically ap-
piled: "Love thy ne,ghbor as thyself."
And to woman-ah what is the reva-
lation to women in these latter days
independence, equality, the ignoring of
sex in the earnest demand for thought,
for sacrifice, for wiser counsels. no obler
deeds. Never in the demands of the
great crises of the ages has woman failed
to cast herself in the mold of the COM
ing ideal or to place herself in the van of
spiritual strife
Here-ol the farms where food awaits
market-there in the cities where
starving women and children are
cr1uched in hollow-eyed want; on the
street corners among discouraged Imer-
chants; in the workshops or around
their closed doors where strikers dis
cuss their wrongs; in the rich mans
home where threats of violence and of
the uprooting of the rotten fabric Of So
cietv causes hearts to palpltate with an
unknown fear; across the water where
masses of men and women are already
demanding Nread or blood among the
prison cells of Russia where freedoms
light streams afar from their narrow
windows and royal blood curdles with
dismav; among the grain fields OF India
where monarchy sucks their life blood
on the breezy hills of Scotland where
the very shepherds pipe of peace Is
tuned to resistance of oppression; on
the green slopes of the Emerald Isle
where tn , leaven of liberty works and
ferments and foams among the
famished owners of its ancient soil
here, there, every where a hush of ex-
pectqncy is on the air the breath be-
fore the rising storm; the despair which
precede9 desperation and the gathering
resolve which means to overturn the
wnrld of oppression, of greed, of selfish
ness and of sin.
And, brDthers, sisters, when the word

What We are Taught by the
Horrors of Last Weeks
Chicago.
The Militia and Police are Brave
and Reckless When They
Feel Safe.
While the Dynamite Bomb Was Ter.
rible, Yet 1t Will Make the
People Think.
For the Enquirer.

For the Enquirer.
As long as workingmen replied to the
assaults of the drilled sleuth- hounds oi
law and order by shaking their brawny
fists, or with sticks and mud balls, it was
all right; it was "fun" for the blue-coats
as one of them remarked in the brutal
assault made on workingmen few
months since at South Bend. Indiana
1t is great sport for these gentry to clu b
unoffending people as they did in the
recent street car strikes. 1t is rare pas
time for the militia to turn out and
shoot down strikers when the
latter do not retaliate in kind, and to
bayonet defens eless women, as they did
at Lemont, Illinois. AS long as the
workingmen do not return blow for
blow it Is a fine thing to hunt them
down and shoot them Ike dogs, as has
been done many times in this "free"
country, in almost everv state in the
Union. Oh, yes, the poor. meek work
ingmen, and their wives and children,
make excellent targets, and heretofore
it has been healthy exercise to club
thom. But, 10 the tables have been
turned 1t has been discovered, at
some sacrifice of blood, that the work.
ingmen will not always wait for the kill
ing to begin. The police of Chicago
have learned that they may not always
have things their own way. They haye
learned, too late for some of them, that
there is virtue in a dynamite bomb
when thrown by practiced hand.
Let the consequences fall upon whom
they may, the fracas which occurred in
Chicago on Tuesday night, the fourth
instant, cannot but help the movement
in the long run. Thousands are now
discussing the general subject of Social
ism who never heard of it before. 1t
will arouse the sleepy heads of 30 cety
who imagine that all is lovely in this
country. and N nv will be brought to
see the terrible rottenness Of the present
system. Should it result in the conver.
sion of but one "sinner to repentance"
it will not have been in vain.
In this explosion IF single dvnau
mite bomb, with its attendant results,
we may plainly read the signs of the
times. 1t is the first loud knock of the
pending Revolution upon the door of
society. 1t is the first clap of thunder
telling the storm is about to break in all
its fury. Shall we heed this warning,
or shall we eontir ue to quiet ourselves
and one another with the thought that
it is not yet?
Workingmen and Socialists, the storm
of Revolution NAV burst upon us row
any day, any hour Are you prepared ?
Already free speech and free press are
things of the past in Chicago. There
cannot be any more public meetings held
there for the propagation of Socialism.
Henceforth it will be unhealthy for a
Socialist to proclaim himself in Chicago.
Will the movement be brought to a
standstil because of th Russia-like re-
preston? Those who think 30, little
know the temper of the Chicago Social
lists. CATO.

LITTLE FOLKS SAYINGS.

A minister. having taught his little girl
the Lords Prayer, was surprised to hear her
repeat il with the following variation: "Give
us this day our daily bread, or biscuit and
honey, if you please"
little girl heard some one remark that
her mamma and auntie were the pillars of
their church, when the small woman gravely
said, ''If mamma and auntie are the pillows,
papa and uncle must be the holsters. -

The affectionate mamma OF jamie r.,
aged five, deemed it prudent to give him
dose OF castor-Oil, and took him to a drug
store, in company with his little sister, to
have 1t mixed with soda water. jamie took
the glass of suspected beverage in his hands,
looked at 1t moment, pursed up his little
lips to the edge, tilted it till the floating oil
rose above his upper lip and cody drained
all the sweet water. Having got all he could
without swallowing the oil, he set down the
glass and said: Its sisters turn now."-

There was Sunday school teacher, and
her class was composed of goodly number
of average small boys. The other Sunday
the lesson was upon the Babylonian captiv-
ity, and the teacher had done her best in
preparing the lesson so as to attract and
hold their attention. This is not always an
easy matter in some of the Old Testament
historical lessons, and so the teachers ener-
giles were directed toward making the story
lifelike and realistic to her young pupils,
'Now just suppose, boys" she began, that
some great army was to come here and take
fathers and mothers and yourselves prison
ers, and carry you off to strange land and
make you work as slaves. and try to make
you believe in their religion instead of your
own" etc. AS her vivid Imagination en-
tered upon the picture she was pleased to
notice that the boys looked interested, but
her satisfaction quickly ended as some pat
riotic urchin, amid the smiles OF his CON-
rades, exclaimed: "Yessum, 'twould be
kinder rough, but there amt nation on
the earth that's big enuf to do it."-Boston
