Memorial. Han VS.. Monument.

To the Editor Of the Press:
To the members of the S. and S. M. Asso-
citation and Fellow Citizens; As the ex-off-
GERS Of the war and the officers Of the Asso-
citation have generally been expected to
speak the most ON this subject, as they have
performed the labor and should understand
1t we'll, please listen to few remarks from
one Of the ex-priyates. Years ago when the
matter was spoken of to erect a memorial
hall it did not seem favorable, as 1t would
want to be situated in the business portion
of the city and would naturally be surround
ed by high buildings which would obstruct
the view Of it. This evening the subject
will come before the Association. Shall we
have a monument or memorial hall? The
site chosen appears to Ebe Market Square.
Now why cannot the meeting vote to in
struct the committee to confer with the
Mayor and city government on the feasibili-
ty Of erecting memorial hall upon that site.
Suppose we say the second story to be occu-
pied as memorial hall, and the first, third,
fourth and fifth stories, If built as high, to
be occupied for city purposes. The first
story could be occupied as an armory for an
artillery company with room for their can
non, etc, and there would also be room for
a ward room or any purpose the city might
want it for. The third story could be used
for the armories of our militia companys,
and the upper story for drill hall; the en-
trance to memorial hall to be separate from
the other stories Of the building. The old
materialof the Market House could be used
on the inner walls and the building con-
structed as near fire proof as possible.
Niches could be built ON the corners of the
second story, and small statues Of soldiers,
sailors or implements of war could be placed
there; also some designs placed on the out.
| side walls of the same story. Tablets could
| be placed on the inside walls or on each side
| Of the entrance on the outer walls. The
whole building can be made ornamental and
| the roof finished off with dormer windows,
| and statue of soldier on one end and a
| sailor on the other. and perhaps short spire
| in the centre.
Now, gentlemen, If we can have this we
want to pay for it. There Is no doubt but
! what the Association can raise more money
| to add to what they have to build memo
rial hall than they can to build monument
| in Market Square. To build monument
| there they say will cost S35,0O0
| Let the Association contribute that
amount and the city S3500O, making
$4,000, and could not the building be built

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 20.-There is a
new scheme on foot to bring the miners
strike to close. Ex-Assemblyman Hines
went to Pottsville to enforce the scheme,
which is that all the strikers apply to the
poor authorities for admission to the poor
house. A big tax would then have to be
levied and the corporations would have to
nav it. Hines thinks the operators, rather
than pay, would bring the strike to close.

Christian brothers in the ministry,
you should consider whether you are
entirely guiltess in neglectlng to
teach the full duty your people owe
to one another as members OF this
universal brotherhood. You cannot
justify yourselves by preaching;
"Do unto others as YOU would be
done by" Perhaps it may be true
that the whole subject matter is
contained in that one sentence, but
it requires to be extensively elabor-
ated, and by closing your eyes and
mouths to the moustrOus SIN OF eX-
acting profits from those who cannot
pay in kind, renders you morally
guilty of sanctoning the same.
Furthermore, it might not be amlss
for you who are in receipt of large
salaries, in excess of your needs, to
consider whether you are giving a
good equivalent therefor, and if 50,
whether to the cause Of the unlver-
sal brotherhood, or in easing the
conscieuces of wealthy eXploIters OF
labor. II. II. l..

that men, by banding together under

" OUR FATHER

Probably there are no two words
in the English language more gener-
ally recognized THAI these, and none
receiving less thought as to their
real significance. They are used as
expressive of common father. All
Christians recognize common
fatherhood Of God, and 10y logical
reasoning they must recognize the
universal brotherhood of man.
Their lives and actions should be
governed by and regulated IN accord
ance Herewith, and they should con-
stantly keep in mind the interest Of
all, and drive far from them the
spirit of sclf-aggrandI2cmcnt at the
expense of the many. They should
consider that if they appropriate
to themselves great wealth which
they have not earned, they are rob
bling their brothers of what they
need and what justly belongs to
them. The "Christian spccuIa-
tor who buys up the gram to make
corner in the market and takes al,
vantage of the necessities of the
mortgage-Saddled farmers by paying
them less than their grain is worth,
should remember that he IS actually
robbng his brothers Of the wealth
they have produced. When the
" Christian " railway managers adj
vance the rates beyond what Is
necessary to cover the cost for trans
porting this grain to market, they
should remember that they are rob
bing their brothers in another direc-
ton. In fine, our Christian broth
ers should bear in mind that al.
profits levied over and above tho
lust cost of production and dlstrlbu
ton is robbery. For profit they civ,
no equivalent whatever. The
masses who purchase have no profits
to offset the profits they pay-lt al
comes from wages, which IN TIT
main are stationary, but with Il gen
cral downward tendency. Th'
"Christian manufacturers VIII,

them the easy victims Of the NOR
