A Little Philosophy and Religion
For Union Labor RefOrmers.

A Little Philosophy and Religion
For Union Labor RefOrmers-
Let us suggest to our Union Labor
friends that they should not expect
that all reforms can be brought about
by the triumph of this or that polit-
zeal party. If they should succeed
in electing their candidate for Presi-
dent, they would find that the mil
lenium would not be ushered in on
the day Of his inauguration, and that
righteousness and justice and happi-
ness would not all at once cover the
land. Men would still be selfish and
mean. Bad men would not instantly
become good men. A change from a
low state Of morals to a high grade
can only come slowly only as fast as
people can be educated to "cease to
do evil and learn to do we'll" What
we want in this country is more pure
undefled religion Of the right sort,
rather than a greater number of PO-
litical parties religion not Of mean
ingless forms and empty ceremonies,
but a practical sort of religion that
will prompt a man to 'dO unto others
as he would that they should do unto
him. a lively religion Of love to God
and love to man. When you can get
that kind of religion into the people,
and the shylock, and mammon
worshiping spirit out Of them, you
will have fewer selfish, grasping mil
iOnaires, fewer oppressive trusts and
soulless corporations, and more we'll
fed, happy, prosperous people, no
matter what political name they may
be designated by. Political parties
are composed of people, and those
parties will enact just such laws as
the people composing them desire
them to enact. Then if we want good
laws let US do what we can in our re
spective parties to make the people
as good as we can. The laws that
are put upon the statute books in any
country are a true index of the moral
and intellectual development of that
nation. Our Union Labor friends
can not usher in the millennium by
merely defeating both the old par
ties,' but they must take mankind as
they find them, and abolish existing
evils by educating the people, so that
their quickened sense Of justice and
equity will prompt them to abate the
evils, and to right the wrongs. Get
the people right and the parties will
be right

line Of railway is divided into sections

nails are stationed. When a train en-
ters one block danger signals are aa-

protecting the train both front and
rear. When the second block is
