Labor's Worst Enemy.

While labor is throwing away an
enormous sum annually, with what
show Of consistency can it lament its
condition. One years remission of
that destructive self-indulgence would
solve every labor problem extant. At
present the working-man can hardly
make both ends meet; is it not be-
cause he insists in creating capitalists
out OF the saloon-keepersp The
saloon is the most hideous abuse OF
the day, but whore would it be if the
working.men withdrew their sup
port from itP 1t keeps them poor.
1t stiles progress. 1t brutalizes hus.
bands and fathers, breaks women's
hearts, puts rags on the working
mans back, disease in his body, and
shame and despair in his heart. Yet
when labor is most disturbed, when
the demand for advanced wages is
loudest, when strikes are most fire.
quent, when hunger and misery are
most rife in the houses OF the poor,
the saloon fourishes still. There may
be no Tread at home, but there is al
ways beer and whisky at the bar, and
the men who consider themselves
victims OF circumstances or the
''thralls" of capital squander their
earnings in these dens. Can there
be serious labor question while this
state OF things continuesp Can work
ing-men talk gravely of their wrongs
while It is plain to all the world that il
they only saved the capital they earn
they would be all rightP-George F.
Parsons, in Atlantic Monthly.

PHYSICAL FORCE,

The Powers of Mind and Heart Gaining
tho Ascendancy Over Mere Muscle.
At a recent woman suffrage meeting
in England, Mrs. Stanton Batch made
a witty and eloquent speech dealing
with the physical force argument. She
said:
AS we look back over the course we
have come, we feel how weak is such
power. Those who belittle the influ-
ence OF heart and brain are, in fact,
decelving themselves. for they fail to
see how the reign OF muscle is doomed.
Psychical development has left physical
power behind it, and the crowned kings
OF to-day are mind and heart. Mr..
Labouchere has recently declared that
he would rather live under the Cars
OF Russia than under a petticoat Gov
eminent in England. He fails to see,
however. that the trend OF character is
given in the nursery under petticoat
rule. Probably in his childhood the
old rule Of Spare the rod and spoil the
child prevailed. and his memories Of a
quite other than moral suasion have
perhaps embittered him against us.
But If physical force is to be test, I
would rather rely on the strength Of a
pit-brow woman than on that of men,
Der Of Parliament. Prince Bismarck is
the high priest Of the ugly old religion
of might, and he said not year ago
that the next war would bleach Europe
white as veal. On whom would that
prophecy fall but on the manhood Of
Europep What force did more in the
Crimean war than that of Florence
Nightingale. or in the American than
that Of Clara Barton? When asking
for the suffrage from the men she had
helped to save, Clara Barton's words
were: When you were weak and I was
strong, l helped you; now that I am
weak and you are strong, l ask you to
help me- Some woman might say the
same to every man now"

GOOD WORDS FOR WOMEN.

MhS. LLILAbETH CAD1 STANTON pre-
diets that in ten years woman's suffrage
will be an accomplished fact in every
State In the Union.
A wOMANLY woman always attracts.
and If she has a truth to teach she will
find that when she has made favor
able social impression the battle is half
won; her cause in pleasant guise has
gained foot-hold, and converts are
made before they are aware.
s REPRESENTATIVE GRINDLE voted
against woman suffrage in the Maine
Legislature in 1875, but the other day
he declared his conversion. II be-
lieve." said he, "there are few men in
this House who, in matters of morals
and conscience do not rely more upon
the judgment OF their wives than upon
their own" They are off the track II
they don't.
/ SPEAK for the enfranchisement of
woman. reminding the sceptic that the
Father is so good an architect that He
creates nothing He wants wasted. A
first-class soul or mind with only a
second-class chance is a piece OF Gre
alton wasted. Therefore God must
mean that the right to the largest
chance for the largest usefulness shall
be open to ALL. Clement Ambrose.
EVERY wise woman buildeth her

which he could learn a livelihood, so
no girl ought 10 be brought up without
learning the science OF self-support
His advice to all girls and all
unmarried women, whether in affluent
homes or in homes where most strin-
gent economies are grinding, is to learn
to do some kind Of work that the world
must have while the world stands
Talmage.
The evil that has caused the down.
fall OF every nation in the past the
evil that is gnawing at the foundation
Of all nations to-day. Is the result Of
keeping the mothers Of the human race

can not rise higher than its source, but
the reservoir lifted on the hill shows
that men have it in their power to ele-
vate the source. For their own i'm
provement and welfare, men should en-
courage and stimulate women. Mira

GOOD municipal government can be

problem is how to give to this better
element its fullest legitimate control
without doing injustice to our natural

tending municipal suffrage to women

= Incident OF the Johustown Dlsastel
Down the former peaceful vale,

Amid the ruin and the wreck,
On house-top, like speck.
Passed lonely maiden fair,
Singing in the midnight cir;

Groans from hearts both brave and stout;
Strong her voice, and calm her breath,
Though rushing to tn jaws Of death.
That, without groan or sigh,
Sang to Christ. her Lord. on high:
'Jesus, Lover Of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly"
All around were shrieks and cries,
Bringing tears from strong mems eyes;
But from tn maiden, lone and fair,
Came song that filed the air.

He who heard that precious song
Was not favored with 1t long;
Angry torrents seized their prey,
Soon among the dead she lay,
At the Stony-bridge OF death,
Singing with her latest breath:

Let me to Thy bosom flyp
Not by martyrs stake and FIRE,
But flood most fierce and dire.
She, with wings of faith and love,
Mounted to her home above,
To take again tn fallen lay.

Two Stolen Children Found

MACON, Ca, Jan. . .-Maria Rivers,
an old colored woman of Macon, has re-
covered two Of her children who we're
taken from her during the war. The old
woman was a house maid in a wealthy
Georgian's 'amily before the war, and
when the male members of the family
wen to the front she was left behind to
care for her mistress and several small
children.
The woman remained faithful to her
trust. and at the close of the war found
herself with two children TO care for, her
husband having died during the war.
Scarcely had she started to work for her
self when one day one OF her children, a
girl Of 8 years was carried away from
home while she was away. A year later
the other child, a boy, was carried away
in a similar n Her children taken
from her, the old woman moved from
place to place, and finally came to Macon,
where she was engaged as a cook in a
prominent family.
About ten months ago Aunt Maria, as
she was called. made a wonderful discov-
cry. IL was nothing else but the o
of the girl who had been taken from her
twenty-thrce years before. Certain marks
upon the girls shoulder made the identi-
~fication complete, and the old woman
passed many happy days in company with
her long lost child, who by this time had
become a woman. Aunt Maria moved to
her daughters home and there reigned
supreme until yesterday, VIXEN she was
completely upset by n second discovery.
1t was this time the boy who had been
carried away years ago. 1t was about
noon when a large able bodied man walked
IN to the old woman's door and asked for
Maria Rivers.
Here | is" said Aunt Maria, and
with a hobblc she came to the door to
meet the stranger. "Well, my name is
Joe Webb and from best accounts | learn
you are my mother" said the man. The
aged ncgrcss fell upon her sons neck and
wept for Joy. The boy had been West in
mining camps, and finally returning to
Macon found an old man who knew his
mother, and directed him how to find
her. Joe had saved up a neat sum OF
money and will hereafter take care of his
mother. The old woman is nearly crazed
with joy and spends her time talking to
the neighbors, telling them how she
found her two poor chilluns'' after wait
ing for them twenty-three years.

SOME HOPE e

Should the Union Pacific funding bill
get through congress this session it will
bo a genuine case OF nip and tuck. Sew
eral times during the present session all
hope OF its passage seemed to have a n
ished in the air, bat at the moment when
the outlook was darkest something has al
ways happened to give renewed hope.
The last encouraging feature was the ao-
ton of the senate yesterday in making
it the special order over all other
special orders.
1t cannot be denied however that the
outlook for the passage of the bill at the
present session grows beautifully less as
the day of adjournment rapidly draws
nigh. The continual agitation has.
however, worked a wonderful resolution
in public sentiment A profound preiu-
dice existed for many years against the
Pacific railroads, both East and West, and
the prejudice was certainly well founded
in reason. The management of the
Union Pacific of late years has been such
as Il allay much OF the prejudice and the
better the policy aud methods have be-
come known the more kindly has the
road been viewed.
There is still, however, very strong OPP
position to the passage Of the Union
Pacific funding bill. 1t comes first from
the other Pacific roads which purpose
sharing in the fruits of the good beha-
vior of the Union Pacific, or failing in
this TO bring the strongest possible pres
sure to bear in the hope of defeating the
bill. Next comes the opposition of the
railroads which are now or may become
rivals OF the Union Pacific. So long rs
the affairs of the latter company are
maintained in an unsettled condition, just
so long will the unhampered roads be
enabled to compete for business with
pretty nearly all the odds in their favor.
Furthnr opposition comes from congress-
men who either honestly oppose
all concessions to the Union Pa
cifc or do so with the idea
of currying favor with their constitu-
ents on the ground of opposition to all
monopolies.
Although the chances seem to be against
the passage of the bill there is still some
little hope tor it. The people of Wyom-
ing are unanimously in favor Of the bill
not only because it contemplates an equi.
table settlement of a long disputed cues.
