Social Economy Class.

The economy class meets at Mr..

Thursday evenings at 7:3o. All
who feel interested in the discus

following at the meeting Of

The working class is the only
class that is not class. 1t is the
nation. 1t represents, so to speak
the body as a whole, of which the
other classes onlyrepresent special
organs. These organs, no doubt
have great and indispensable func-
tions, but for most purposes ol
government the state consists ol
the vast laboring majority. Its
welfare depends on what theil
lives are like.-Frvdeyic Harrison
They (political economists) are
men of only one wealth, how

vided wealth on the whole in

That most important instrument

There is one thing upon which

holy order of Knights of Labor,

he won't get drunk. There is
something positive and truthful
about this. Still, most people

! was not encouraged to say the
least, by the charity organizations
or the church, There is church
across the street from the eating
room, but it nevereven offered the
men a cup of cold water One Of
the deacons did say that We were
doing nice work, and if we would
send the men over to the church
they might be converted.
1T was such a sight as no man
could ever forget-that line, some
times thousand men, waiting in
the cold or the rain. for the room
to beopened. On Saturday even
ing when we shut down there were
squads of hungry, ill-clad men
standing about on Washington
square, and the chilly rain pouring
down upon them. They had no
place to sleep and nothing to eat.
I'm fancy sketches, the condi-
tions of the rich and poor are
sometimes contrasted. On Satur-
day evening the reality of the
scene on Washington square sur

yards of our starved-out free eat
ing room a reception was given
in a palace that faces on Washing
ton square that fashionable cen
ter where people live whose wealth

In attendance at that reception
we're dukes, counts, lords and other
foreigners of title, and the list OF
American names furnished to the
Sunday papers indicates that it
was a dress parade of the ultra

of the upper ten thousand. The
hostess is described as wearing a
diamond necklace worth a quarter
of a million dollars. For weeks
the fashion writer's will be describ-
ing the brilliant scene within that
palace, penning columns about
the costumes of the ladies. They
say the affair cost $4,000. Lines
of carriages were formedin all the
streets near, liveried grooms were
hurryjng about on errands, and
coachmen, we'll fed, and clad in
white rubber coats, sat on the car
riage boxes. Only to think of it.
the cost of a single team and car
riage would be more than the
amount it took to run our little
free eating room for a month. In
the palace was warmth, music,
wine, gold, diamonds, dazzling
splendor. Standing outside in
the rain, so close that the music
reached their ears and the brilliant
flood of light pouring out of the
windows shone upon them, were
squads of hopeless, shivering, hun
cry men, disappointed of the poor
boon of free bread and soup that
had been cut off from them. Was
there ever seen a more striking
contrast between heluxury of the

Being Jeopardized.
The ENQUIRER has been re-
quested to and takes pleasure in
publishing the following address
issued by the secretary of the
American Secular Union.
To the Friends of Freedom.
In pursuance of the lnquisi-
torial purposes and the meddle-
some efforts of the society for the
suppression of vice to stamp out
freethought in this country, an
other liberal paper has been sin
gled out for its vengeance.
Messrs. Harman & Walker, ed
itors of Lnej,f,, at Valley Falls,
Kansas, have been indicted on a
vague charge OF "obscenity'--the
same charge which Chsistian hyp-
ocrites raised against Charles
Bradlaugh and Annie Besant in
England, and d. M. Bennett, DR..
Foote, DIR. Sarah Chase and hosts
of other reformers in this country,
-"obscenity" being one of those
mud-slinging epithets which are
sure to drive weak-minded liberals
from the performance of their
duty, and seemingly placing in a
compromising attitude any who
are compelled to defend them
selves against such ,an imputation.
1t is impossible to ascertain
from the indictment what the spe-
cihc act is with which they are
charged. The editors disclaim
any intent to publish anything
obscene and any knowledge that
they have done so. have been
a reader of Lnejtfy for years Cand
do not remember reading anything
in the paper that could possibly
be construed as obscene, although
have been far from agreeing with
its philosophy, outside its advo-
cacy of freethought. Messrs.
Harman & Walker have been
prominently known as able, ear
nest workers for the advancement
of humanity, and ever have val
iently opposed all Church and
state encroachments. Their prom
inence has invited this attack OF
their suppressors which is, without
doubt, instigated by the same
motives, and contemplates the
same ulterior purposes, that were
glaringly manifest in the prosecu-
ton of ID. M. Bennett.
1t is as apparent as it was in
Benefits case, that the attack
upon Messrs. Harman & Walker
is a violation of the principle laid
down in the 18th demand of liber-
alism," viz: that all laws looking
to the enforcement of Christian
morality shall be abrogated, and
that all laws shall be conformed
to the requirements Of natural
morality, equal rights and impair
tial liberty"
| therefore urge upon all who
have at heart the stability of oul
institutions, the perpetuity of free
speech, and the permanence o.
freedom in this country to aid, ir
the various ways open to them, II
the defeat of the efforts to silence
the editors Of Lmejffy by that Shiny
creature, Comstock, and thus tc
suppress them under the pretense
of enforcing Christian morality.
The national defense association
have interested themselves in thi
case and are soliciting subscrip
tions and the active aid of al
workers in their behalf. You vii

CHAPTER II.
THE ICEBERG.

The loss of the spars l have named was no
great matter, nor were we to be intimidated
by such weather as was to be expected off
Cape Horn.
But there was an inveteracy in the gale
which had driven us down to this part that
bore heavily upon our spirits. 1t was impos-
sible to trim tho ballast. We dared not veer
so as to bring the ship on the other tack.
With helm dashed and yards pointed to the
wind, thus we lay, thus we drifted, steadily
trending with the send Of each giant surge
farther and deeper into the icy regions of the
southwest, helpless, foreboding, disconsolate.
1t was the night of the fourth day of the
month The crew were forward in the fore
castle. and knew not if any man was on
deck saving myself.
/ stood in the companion as In sentry
box. with my eyes Just above the cover.
Nothing was to be seen but sheets of ghostly
white water, sweeping up the blackness on
the vessels lee, or breaking and boiling to
windward.
After long and eager look round into the
,bscurity, semilucent with froth, l went
oelow for mouthful Of spirits and bite Of
supper, the hour being eight bells in the
second dog watch, as we say-that is, eight
o'clock in the evening. The captain and car
penter were in the cabin. Upon the swing
tray over the table were a piece of corned
beef, some biscuit, and bottle Of hollands.

says Capt Rosy when bad sailors die
they're sent here, reckon. The worst nau-
teal sinner can't be hove to long off the Horn
without coming out of it with purged soul.
He must start afresh to deserve further pun
ishment.n
"Well, here's a breeze that can't go on
blowing much longer cries the carpenter.
