His Craze cannot now be identified

His grave cannot now be identified.
It was never marked by even q rude
stone. and e'his name and LIES brief
date'' could never have been read by the
children from the neighboring school,
who love to play among the graves, for
they we're never recorded. The villagers
who come to pray on Sundays know no
more Of O'Brien personally than they
do of his book. Even the sexton OF the
church, an old, grey-haired man, who
has passed all his days in Hanwell, was
unaware that anyone of the name OF
O'Brieh was inferred in the little grave
yard, the tombs Of which are as familiar
to him as his household goods. We
looked up together the register of burials
for 1885, and sure enough we found the
following entry:-t'No 525. Henry
O'Brien, Hanwell, July 2; years. rs;
Charles Birch, ohioiating clergyman. !"
AS ill-luck would have it, not even the
number Of the grave helped towards Its
Identification, the system of numbering
having been dispensed with many years
before the graveyard was closed to IN
terment, fifteen or twenty years ago.
AS the gard was small we decided to e1-
anime every stone and tomb, but Our
search was fruitless, the name OF
'sO'Brlen" could not be discovered, and
the wonderful youth, who fondly hoped
he had made himself immortal by, as he
believed, lifting the veil which thirty
centuries had woven round the origin OF
the round towers, who though biz men,
DRY would be green at least as long as
the towers themselves lasted, lies in an
unknown grave among strangers; while
his book is regarded merely as "a Curl
osity of literature or as an example OF
the strange freaks for which the genius
Of man is often responsible.

Organized Labor Declares

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. FIFTY
delegates from Knights of Labor assem-
blies and trade unions throughout In
diana met here to-day in annual con-
vention as state federation of trades
each of the delegates being duly accred'
tied from their local organizations
When the hour for assembling arrived
forty laboring men from Fort Wayne
and other cities applied for Abundance
and presented pass cards and other evil
dences of good standing as Knights CT
Labor. Not having credentials from
the local organization which they profess
70 represent, the doors were barred
against them and the meeting was
formally organized by President Levy,
of Evansville. The session was secret
and every avenue of information was
carefully guarded during the day
When the meeting adjourned, however,
it was developed that the most impor-
tant action taken by the body was tie
adoption of series OF resolutions re-
garding Gen. Harrison's public and
private record. The resolutions were
introduced as having originated in VIII
lett's assent s gs *. of L., and charged
Harrison with being unfriendlY to or
ganized labor in this: Thathe opposed
eight hours as constituting days
work for letter carriers: and opposed
the law limiting Chinese immigration,
and, as senator in congress, had voted
and worked against It's enactment; that
as a citizen he had armed himself and
took command of company for the
express purpose of forcing railroad
men TO submit to exactions from cor
porations, and openly advocated shoot
ing the strikers down if they persisted
in demanding their rights; That he is a
corporation attorney and the whole
Of his life and acts is opposed to the
interests of labor. The resolutions
closed with the declaration that the
laboring classes would not support him
for the presidency. A resolution also
referred to Morton as national bank
er. and one who is opposed to labor Or
CARNATIONS. The discussion of the
resolutions continued for several hours
and all the speakers declared in favor
of their adoption. When the vote was
taken delegate left the hall and one
other voted in the negative, the vote as
recorded standing 48 to 1.
a resolution asking congress not to
remove the tax from whiskey and to-
bacco was adopted unanimously. Then
the convention adjourned sine die.

Let this excellent work 20 on, and
we shall soon find an end to the

tween the radicals and conservatives;
but the contest will be continued,
nevertheless, on another and greater
field, where the line will be clearly
drawn and the contestants must reg
lister themse YES either on the side Of
the enemies of labor, or with the
Socialists entirely and unrQuivocally

OUTVOTED A SOCIALIST.

The St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer
Press gives q graphic description Of
the expulsion of "the Socialists"
from the st. Paul Trades and Labor
Assembly. A delegate from the
Typographical Union, bearing the
intensely American name Of Johann
l.. Blrkheimer, moved that the dele
gate from the Socialist Section
Withdraw and that the Section be
refused representation in the future.
The only Socialist in the meeting
was Emil Constant, the delegate
against whom and his organization
the motion was made. He protested
against such II proceeding, amid the
gentlcmanly hootings Of so-called
labor representatives,. The P'onecr
Press says that the arguments" OF
the Socialist hatcrs (probabIy all
Americans Of the Brk heimcr brandy
"summed up, amounted to the fact
that they wanted no Socialists in
theirs" A vote was twice ia ken, to
make sure of the matter, and Mr..
Constant withdrew.
Unless it is specially desired by
such an organization rs u central
trades assembly, Socialist Sections
might as well not insist upon sharing
in the support Of such organizations
by their presence and their per- capi-
Ia taN. Individual Socialists who
are members of trades unions Ger
tainly do all that their party tactics
require among the less advanced cIe-
ments of Organized Labor when they
bear their share of the burden Of the
trades union movement and strive
for the spread Of democratic ideas
among their fellow workmcn, and
honest and conscientious conduct Of
the labor organizations affairs.
Nevertheless, the above mentioned
episode does moi speak well for the
character of the ST. Paul Trades
Assembly.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
WHAT TRUSTS INDICATE.

The growth of monopoly in this
country is significant of deliverance
or destruction to individual indus
trians-who knows which? There
is the sugar trust, controlled by ten
firms with a nominal capital of nine
ty millions: Linseed oil is monopol-
lied by trust with a capital of
eleven millions. The paper bag
trust has two million capital. The
steel rail trust, the iron ore trust,
the steel beam trust, the castor oil
trust, the school slate trust, the nail
trust, the wrought iron pipe trust,
the oil cloth trust, are all monopolies
against which individual competition
is out of the question. They make
prices and regulate production.
These and an hundred other trusts
indicate the way in which produc-
ton will be carried on in the future,
but the benefits Of combination must
somehow be shared by the people at
large. The people have no way Of
combining except in the government,
and so the individual worker is left
to choose whether he will be swal-
lowed by the great monopoly of CAPT
tai or by the greater monopoly OF
government. There seems to be no
middle ground, and no avenue of es-
cape for him. Production is here.
after to be the work of monopoly,
public or private. Possibly this fact
will deliver the individual from
bondage to drudgery. 1t is an ex.
ceedingly important fact at any rate.
