The London Dockers' Progress.

From the address of President Tom
Mann to the lockers congress, recently
assembled at Mile End Road. the follow
ing pleasing extract is made:
In London, from carefully prepared
statistics, so per cent. of the members
have obtained solid advance Of wages,
averaging rs. per week, and $4,000 an
advance of IS. Cd. per week. In round
figures the $4,000 members of the union
in London are receiving 100000 more a
year than before the union action of
1889.
An equal gain is the abolition of the
contract system in eight out of the ten

The NIOneyless Man.

Go look In your hall, where the chandeliers light
Drives back. with its splendor, the darkness of
night:
Where the rich hanging velvets, in luxurious folds,
Sweep gracefully down amid FURNISH of gold;
Go there in that hall and find, il you can,
Any welcome for the humble and moneyless man.
Then go to yon bank, where mammon hath told
Its hundreds and thousands of silver and gold,
Where pile upon pile of the glittering ore
Are safe from the hands of the starving and poor;
Go look in t1ose vaults and tell me, if you can,
Is there III ,ney stored there for the moneyless
man?
And thence to yon church, where cloud reaching
spire
Gives back 10 the sun its own hue of red fire:
It's arches and columns, all gorgeous within,
And the walls are as pure soul without sin;
Walk down the long aisle; see the rich and the
great.
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate
Go there in patched raiment, and find il you cam
Any wide open pews for mOneyess man.
Go thence to your hovel, where no raven has fed
That wife who has suffered for want of plain
bread;
Kneel down by the pallet and kiss the death frost
From the lils of the angel your poverty lost
Then. in your agony, look up TIC your God,
And bless W lille he smtes with the christening rod.
And hope that ct the cnl Of this lfes short span.
4 welcome above may await the noncyless man.

l ay get the man right and he will
put his circumstances and his reputation

not departing one iota from that. But
the difficulty is in getting men in such
a condition as l have described to come
to God. They are like people at the up
per windows of building on fire. You
hold out sheet or net underneath and
call to them to leap, but they are afraid,
they have not nerve enough, and they
fall back into the fire. These people
have not got nerve; they are preoccu-
pied; the man wants some dinner; the
woman is thinking about her hungry
children; the man is in the turmoil of
crime, and the police are after him; and
if you talk to him about heaven and
hell, he says, "This is hell; how can
get out of this hell?" He has no thought
to give to this subject Of religion, and
he goes on and perishes. Therefore, if
you don't care for their bodies, and it is
only their souls you are after, say get
at their souls through their circum-
stances.
How do we propose to help them? l
propose to have number of harbors of
refuge in this dark sea into which they
can be brought by agents who shall go
out and persuade them to come in.
From these harbors, which propose to
have in every center Of poverty and des-

PAINS. Texas, Dot. 22-The message OF
Chief Perryman to the council Of the
Creek nation, now in session at Ocmulgge,
makes mention Of the Law enacted BY
congress BY which Western tribes are fast
allloting lands preparatory to the admis-
sion as citizens into the American Republic.
He then adds: "Thus the rights, privileges .
and athority Of the five nations are. being
infrlnged upon and curtailed at almost
every session Of congress. It would hardly
be fair to charge congress with harbor-
ing malice toward the Indians, or q
willful disregard OF their inter
ests. The general policy Of the government
toward the Indians is one Of humanity and
charity. The fault lies in the ignorance OF
our would.b benefactors as regards the
true condition and needs OF the Indians.
This congress. through its misdirected zeal
for the betterment of the condition of
things of the Indians, has handicapped our
most laudable efforts for self-government
and for the self-preservation of the United
States. It must be constantly informed Of
our condition and continually reminded OF
the sacred treaty obligations she has en-
tered into with us in the past. It is reC-
therefore, that strong deleQa-
tion be sent to Washington to represent
our nation during the next session Of con-

could to prevent . collision, but finding that
