A TRAMP'S DIARY.

factory, or anywhere that there seems
the faintest chance Of getting a bit of
work. The other day as | looked out
of my Office window into the yard of a
large ironworks, saw man standing;
his face attracted my attention, there
was such look Of anxiety on it, ner-
vous impotence to know the result of
the interview he hoped to get with the
manager of the yard, and withal look
of dread lest it should only be another
disappointment, Presently the manager
comes along. | watch the man as he
steps up to meet him, for moment
ray of hope beams in his face, as with
beating heart he begins to stammer out;
please, sir, could you find me--
Don't want anyone to-day and the
manager is gone. But that mans face !!

would 90 from my memory. lie stood
for moment. and as that ray of hope
died from his face there settled on 1t
such a look of utter misery and despair
as hope it may not often fall to my lot
to see again,
We Socialists are sometimes accused of
looking only on the evil side of life, and
disregardiug all the good that lies about
us. Well, there may be much good in
the world, many good people in all
classes, and .many happy ones, but
while it is even possible for such misery
as have described TO be the lot of tens
! of thousands of our fellow cOuntrymen,
l cannot see how any person with the
least feeling and imagination can enjoy
the good as it should be enjoyed; and
when such misery is not only possible,
.but is made inevitable by our present
system of industry, surely there can be
happiness for no one with any sympathy

THE VILLAGE BY THE MILL,
.}Y j. CORNELL"

/ mere was Il NlIldSt Oli dl't 'alS
Which stood around mil,
Its grimy huts and squalid rooms,
The warmest hearts would chill
No comfort did its folk enjoy,
No pleasure did they know.
They grasped no wisdom as they went,
Nor richer did they grow.
A stranger might imagine these
Were lazy people all;
He'd change his mind if there he went
Or near the place did CALI
For palsied age its burden bore
Through painful daily scenes,
And baby fingers guided looms,
And tended big machines.
Upon a pleasant rising slope
Not very far away,
A stately palace reared It's head,
And wooed the summer day;
And mighty seemed to all around
This mansion on the hill.
For there in kingly aplendor dwelt
The owner Of the mill.
Its marble pillars shining bright
Set off its gorgeous walls;
Its countless mirrors dashed the light
Across its ample halls.
Its sinking carpets kissed the feet
As if to teach them bliss
All, surely even heaven itself
Could barely equal this,
There came one morning to the mil,
To labor at his trade,
A tall pugnacious Journeyman,
His name was Jack MGrade.
With tales at first considered strange
The workers ears he caught,
And soon they learned to understand
The lessons that he taught.
Ere many months were overpast,
There was an awful row,
The master got "the sack" at last;
He's way in Texas now.
The people seized and worked the mill
And when the goods were sold,
The price was fairly portioned out
Amongst the young and old.
Full soon the rotten huts came down,
And sprightly cots arose,
With flower beds and evergreens,
And arbors for repose.
The wild birds robbed the cherry trees
And Toasted on the haws,
And made the place a paradise,
Compared with what it was.
Now tiny fingers toll no more,
And little feet are light
The rustic school with open door,
Is ter,pting, free and bright.
The merry fiddler on the move,
At eventide is seen,
And lads and lasses gather round,
And foot the village Green.
The tourist comes from far away
To prove the story true,
And marvels at the happiness
That meets his searching view.
And eager tongues with pride relate,
As round the place he's shown,
How Justice flung her banner out,
And wrong was overthrown.
And comrades, what Of you and /;
Are we too much afraid
To raise the Flag of Liberty,
Like honest Jack M'Grade;
Oh, let us make our gallant fight
The reign Of wrong to kill,
And every little hamlet like
Tie Village by the Mill.

The Carrick Riot.

DUBLIN. Jan. 26.-It is estimated that
riot at Carrick on Thursday. 1t has
t%ranspired that Mr.. O'Brien, after leav.
ing the court and escaping through
the crowd, refreshed himself at a house
near the police barracks and drove to
country before the police formed a Gordon
around the town. In the evening he
dined with a select party at a house sit
uated at Carrick-on-Suir.
Timothy Peaty said in an interview
that Mr.. O'Brien would probably sur.
render to the authorities at Carrick-on.
SUR. His appeal from the sentenced
he said, would secure a few weeks of
nndisturbed freedom.
Mr.. Powell, editor of The Midland
Tribune, published at Birr, was sen,
fenced to three months imprisonment,
at hard labor, in Tullamore Jail. After
the magistrate had concluded the sen.
tence, Mr.. Powell remarked the con.
demnation was ''cut and dried where
upon the Judge imposed an additional
penalty of seven days in Jail for disre-
spect to the court.
A collision took place at CionmeI be-
tween the police and the people. The
latter largely consisted of women and
children. The occasion was the impris-
onment of Mr.. Meaning, the secretary
of the Waterford branch of the National
League. The crowd surged forward,
and surrounding the prisoner, cheered
him repeatedly. The police charged
upon the crowd with their batons, and
the latter retaliated with sticks and
stones. A lage number of people were
hurt, many having their legs and arms

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The report OF
P. L. Williams, commissioner of schools
of Utah, for the year 1888, says that the
taxation in the territory for school pur-
poses is insufficient, and that tuition
fees to exc out the teachers salaries
have to be charged in the district schools.
The charge prevents many poor children
from attending the schools. The leaders
of the Mormon church, the report says,
are actively pushing a scheme to estab.
fish a Mormon UNCONVENTIONAL school In
each stake" in the territory. The re-
port says that il is manifest that no adj
ditional provisions for the support of the
public schools will be made by the legis-
lature as long as the Mormons remain in
control of territorial legislation, unless
private schools, In which the Mormons,
may control the affairs and teach their
t%encts, are allowed to share with the
public schools in the money raised.

a Republican who had not taken an
active part in the quarrels Of his party.
Carr, it is expected, will heal the breach
between the Platt and Miller wings of
the party. He has given offense to
neither faction, and he is favorably re-
garded by both of them. Carr, who has
a brilliant record as a soldier, is very
popular in New York. He served two
terms as secretary of state, and although
he was defeated for governor by David
Bennett Hill, the fact that he received
several thousand more votes than an
other candidate on the ticket, testified
to his popularity.
