WkNT WE WANT.

An hail the dawn Of new day breaking,
When strong armed nation shall take away
n weary burdens from backs that are aching
With maximum labor and minimum pay;
Vben no man Is honored who boards his millions
Wnen no man feasts on Anothers toll,
And Gods poor suffering, striving billions
Shall share his riches Of sun and soil.
There is gold for all in the earth's broad BOSOM
There u food for all In the lands great store
Enough Is provided II rightly divided
Let each man take what he needs-no more
ehame on the miser with unused riches,
Who robs the toiler TO swell his hoard,
Who heats down the wage Of the digger OF bitches,
And steals the bread from the poor man 8 board
Hhame on the owner of mines whose cruel
And selfish measures have brought him wealth,
While the ragged wretches who dig his fuel
Are robbed OF comfort aud hope and health.
Hhame on tho ruler who Rides In his carriage
Bought with the labor Of half paid men
Men who are shut out Of home and marriage
And are hertied like sheep In hovel pen
Let the clarion voice of the nation wake him
10 broader vision and fairer play
Or Vet the hand Of Just law shake him
TM his III gained dollars shall roll away.
Let no man dwell under mountain OF plumber,
Let no man suffer with want and cold;
We want right living, not mere aims giving,
We want Just dividing OF labor and gold.

money?
Over three months ago the papers
mentioned the prolonged sleep or
Miss Grace Gridley, of Amboy. She
had then been asleep three or four
weeks, and no effort OF medical men
or others had succeeded in waking her.
A week ago a representative or the
Mendoza Bulletin went TO see Miss &.
aad found her still asleep. He says
the young lady is in apparent good
health, graceful OF figure and very
beautiful. She fell into this condition,
it seems, during revival in winter,
in which she became deeply inter
ested. She worked so hard that she
became very tired, and took to sleep
ing longer than usual. One morning
she was called, but failed to respond.
Her mother tried to wake her, but
without avail. She is sleeping yet,
but is believed to be conscious Of what
is going on about her. She lies with
her face toward the window, with a
peaceful smile upon her lips. She has
wasted away hardly at all. Her limbs
are still round and plump. She is still
given liquid food, which seems to pass
down the throat without effort to
swallow. The doctors are unable to
make a correct diagnosis, and it is a
wonder that the case does not attract
the attention Of those eminent in the
medical profession.

THE JOLIET WRECK.
Two Morris Ladies' Killed-Wm. Thomas
and Others Hurt.

The accident was a peculiar one
The train was twenty minutes late al
Morris and was endeavOring TO make
up the lost time. 1t had crossed the
river bridge and was approaching the
depot The engine and express and
baggage cars crossed the switch all
right, but when the first coach reached
the switch it flew of the track. Inc
switch was pronounced all right and
no broken wheels, bolts or rods c0u!d
be found. The supposition is that the
switch was defective, and that
the hange of the wheel did not
catch. The first coach contained only
a few passengers, and when 1T left the
track struck a strong massive iron
bridpe-puard to the bridge over the
street. This knocked the bottom OF
the car out, the beams blowing clear
through it, letting the two passengers
who were killed out OF the bottom,
and they were run over by the cars
that followed, which plunged around
the iron bridge guard. The car turned
over after passing the iron bridge ana
the whole train was dragged fully Joy
yards, jolting crashing and rocking I'LL
il stopped.
William Thomas, Judge Stipp and
Kate Freisheimer were in the over
turned car and had miraculous es-
cape. Judge Stipp lost the decision OF
an important Joliet case, his pocket
being torn off. Mr.. Thomas's left knee
and ankle were bruised and Miss
Freisheimer's right knee was bruised.
MrS Annie SeayerSOn, OF Morris,
and her sister, Mrs. a. j. Pratt, were
thrown under the car and ground to
pieces. Among the injured are:
p. A. Armstrong, of Morris, right
foot smashed: Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley, in
jured internally; Mr.. and Mrs. Perry,
Morris, fatally injured: Judge r.. NJ
Wing, Morris, finger broken; Adam
Werner, section hand, Morris, back
and shoulder bruised; Mrs. Susie Arm
ruster, of Morris, sisterof Mrs. Seaver-
son. who was killed, left eye and knee
bruised.

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

The Christian Socialists nave recently
organized a branch in Chicago Rev.
DR.. Bliss, OF Boston, Is very actively en-
raged In this work. AS the Christian
Socialists are striving TO bring about
more Just social and industrial relations
than at present exist, the laborer is in
tsrestsd in their progress.
Where the carpenters have won I'M
condttionally In the recent strike the
new scale provides that overtime shall
be paid for at tho rate Of time and one
half and Sunday work as double time
The latest issue of The Carpenter re-
ports the following as the results Of the
May struggles in the carpentering trade:
Eight hour day secured IN twenty seven
cities and towns; the nine hour day IN
seventy, two cities and towns; increased
wages In eighteen. A recapdtulation
shows victories In III towns and cities,
with 40, 1877 worknen benefited.
II seems that the organized workers Of
England are divided In their opinions on
the advisability Of adopting the eight
hour bill which was introduced in parlia-
ment.
The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road company is true to its record. Its
latest move was to order oil conductors
20 leave the Brotherhood or the road.
This action was taken because the Broth
erhood ut its recent convention repealed
the antistrike clause Of its constitution.
There are indications of another strike
soon by the street car men Of Chicago.
The men don't like the methods Of Mr..
Yerkes any better than they did two
years ago.
The United German Trades Of New
York have adopted resolution to punish
all members Of affiliated unions who
patronize grocers selling "scab" bread.
Reports from San Francisco to Gen
eral Secretary August Delabar show that
the cooperative bakery established by
the union in that city is thorough sue
cess.
Reports indicate that the workingmen
of St. Louis are more stirred up over the
need of organization than ever before,
and unions arc multiplying rapidly.
The competition Of Russian and Polish
Hebrews in New York has reduced the
pay Of shirtmaking from 81 to IS cents a

little one acts as housekeeper and
while engaged in splitting kindling
wood she accidentally cut her big toe.

at last accounts the little one was very
