actually feeds them by giving them
work. It is only fair to say that even
the miser is better than the spend
thrift; for the spendthrift simply
wastes and benefits no one, unless it
benefits the county to take care of him
in old age. Whereas the miser saves
and his money can, at some future
time, be proftably invested so as to
yield wages to the poor man. But any
man, however rich, or however penuri-
Gus, cannot properly be called miser;
for the miser only boards away his
money so that, for the time being, it
does no one any good. But the man
however penurious who keeps his
money constantly in business, turning
his capital over one time or many times
during the year, each time yielding to
himself a profit, however large, and to
others their specified wages, however
elsewhere paid. is no miSer but a bene-
factor to his race and ought to be re-
garded as such. Nor can such an en-
ployer be called robber. No one is a
robber who does not take without con-
sent what belongs to another. The
workman has no claim upon any money
of his employer except the specified
rate of wages and for the specified time
and even then, only for work actually
done, unless prevented by the employer
from filling the contract. This invalid
claim is not made valid by the fact
that, in the same business, another en-
ployer pays higher or lower rate of
wages.
Without the consent of both parties
the specified rate OF wages cannot
fairly be changed within the specified
term of service. If the workman vio-
lates the existing contract in regard to
time in order that he may violate it in
regard to rate of wages, or because he
cannot directly violate it with respect
| to wages, he is no less robber than
the employer who seeks to do the same
thing. At the end of the stipulated
time, either party desiring to with
draw from the contract because dis
satisfied with the wages, ought to be
allowed to do so without earning the
epithet of striker or robber. L have
yet, however, to think of any circum-
STANCES which could justify either
party in forming far reaching combi-
nations to compel the other part of the
old contract to adopt the proposed
new rate of WAGES. And if this could
be called robbery, would it be less so
on the part of the workman attempt
ing it than it would be on the part of
the employer? The fact is, no man has
any peculiar claim upon the pocket
book of another. If he had, the other
man would not be the sole owner of his
own pocket book; because complete
ownership always implies complete and
exclusive right to the thing owned.
The only claim that another could have
would be the claim of charity, and the
claim of charity no one can urge as a
right that he can demand. B.

In God we Trust.

The motto ''In God we Trust" is a
good one, but just take notice that the
government backs up to the utterance
with silver dollar. Trust in God for
success, but work just as hard to win
it. Give good advice to your needy,
but write it in pencil on the back
of a five dollar bill and your advice
will have better effect. Pray for a
good crop, but try to answer by getting
the best implements to work with, the
best seed to plant and then work with
tire best vim to make the virgin soil
dsgorge it's treasurers. Prayers ac-
companied by such collaterals will GER

Justice to SMindled Freedmen.

Soon af tie war, the government by
act OF Congress, organized the Freed
mans Savings Bank, and gave the
bank such apparent credit by the gov
ernment as to fully justify the freed
men in assuming that in dealing with
the Freedmen's Bank they were deal
ing with the government, or had the
government guarantee for the safety
of their earnings.
The Freedmen's Bank turned out to
be a rotten concern, but it was man
aged for many years under apparent
government direction, and when its
rottenness finally bankrupted the in
stitutiOn, the poor, deluded negroes
were swindled out of a million dol
lars.
Although the bank failed years ago,
the government has never fulfilled its
fairly plighted faith to the swindled
freedmen. Many of them lost all their
little savings in an institution that
they believed to be part OF the govern
ment, and they have long appealed in
vain for justice.
This being a Presidential year, and
the colored vote being an important
element in politics, the Senate has,
just at the heels Of the session OF Con-
gress, finally passed a bill appropria-
ting $1,O00,000 to reimburse the de-
positors Of the broken Freedmen's
Bank.
1t is only common justice to the de-
luded and swindled freedmen that the
Senate bill should be promptly passed
by the House. The Freedmen's Bank
invited the freedmen, in the name of
the government, to deposit their earn
ings with that institution, and having
been swindled ir the name of the gov.
ernment, they are clearly entitled to
restitution from the national treasury.

Care of the head.

DR.. Nichols, senior editor Of Pop
ular Science News, in an article
in that journal, attributes the early
badness of men, which is now so
noticeable in churches, theatres,
lecture-rooms and political assem-
blies, to modern false methods of
treatment of the hair and scalp.
There is too muc h washing, sham
pooning and rubbing done, too
much soap, ammonia and alcohol
used for the good of the hair. He
says: Women do not shampoo or
wash their hair as often as the 9TH
ten as the other sex and conse-
quently they are in large degree
exempt from badness in middle
life. 1t is true, however, that
many women in cities make fire.
quent visits to the hairdressers, and
subje ct their tresses to the "scour-
ing" process. Ifthis becomes com
mon, it will not be long before
badness will overtake the Young
mothers as well as the fathers, and
the time will be fastened when the
children even will have no hair
to destroy with ammonia or other
caustic.
The advice we have to offer to
| young men and maidens is Let
your hair alone, keep at safe dis.
tance from hairdressing-rooms and
drug shops, where are sold oils, al
kaline substances, alcoholic MKT
ures, etc, for use upon the hair
The head and the hair may be
washed occasionally with soft, tepid
water, without soap of any kind
AS rule, the only appliances need
ed in the care of the hair are gooC
combs and brushes; and they SHOULD
not be used harshly, SO as to wounC
the scalp. Avoid all electric anC
wire made brushes. No electricity
! can be stored in hair brush; if
J could be, it is not needed. The hal
: is beautiful gift of nature, and j
must not be DESTROYED.
