REPUBLICAN REVENGE.
Reducing the Wages Of Democratic
Worl,men.

CLINTON, O., November This
morning fortY-seven Democrats en-
ployed by Russell s. co, Of Massillon,
quit work because their wages had been
reduced 33 per cent. The wages of the
Republicans were not changed, and the
only reason given for reducing the DEM
ocrats' wages was that they voted for
John G.. Warwick, the peoples candi-
date, and against Major Mckinley, the
friend of the monopolists. The city Of
Massillon is ablaze with Indignation on
the part Of the workingmen of both
parties against the tyrannlcal action
and an Indignation meeting will be held
by the citizens to take acton IN the
matter.
The shops of Russell & Co are i'm
mense concerns. in which SIX or seven
hundred hands find employment in the
busy season. over four hundred being
employed the year round. The firm
manufactures agricultural machinery,
steam engines and similar articles.
During the campaign the Russells, who
are stanch Republicans, interested them
selves deeply in the election of Mr. Nc
Klnley. Yesterdaya large number OF
Democrats received their cards with the
prices revised, a cut Of 33 per cent. being
made on every article.
Upon hearing it Lieutenant Governor
Warwick could scarcely bring himselfto
believe it. Investigating the story, he
found it to be only too true, whereupon
he said:
What an outrage! What shame ! 1t
is terrible, terrible. am shocked and
surprised. indeed, by this infamous act.
Driven from work because they voted
for me-"
At once Mr. Warwick began to make
preparations to relieve the men who
had been so outrageously treated. A
telegram was sent to Michael D. Harter,
Of the 18th district, who has large shops
at Mansfield, asking him if he conld not
make room for those who had been
practically cvicted.
Shortly after l O'Clock Mr. G. II. Rus
sell was accosted at the postotilce by
Otto Young, Democratic candidate tor
Probate Judge and a leading lawyer OF
Massillon. Mr. Young asked the manu-
facturer if it was true that the reduction
had been made. He was frlgldly re-
ceived, Mr. Russell evadlng the question.
Insisting upon reply, Mr. Young re-
celved the harsh response:
Hereafter in our shops free-traders
will receive frec-trade wages"

ratus to the village, could prevail upon
their fellow villagers to come out OF
their hiding places. The aeronauts

the morning marched back, the balloon

At the next village, Podboria, there

and the Inhabitants concluded that it
was visit Of holy saints from heaven.
So in every cottage the shrine lamps
were lit, and the peasants fell on their
knees and prayed the heavenly vlsi-
tants to favor their village also with
their presence. When, therefore, there
appeared on the road to Podborla a
sledge surrounded by a CROWD, the
whole village went ont to meet it, and
great was their disappointment on
learning the actual state Of affairs.

But most distinguished was Bethel
for that famous dream which Jacob
had, his head on collection of stones.
He had no trouble in this rocky region
in finding a rocky pillow. There is
hardly anything else but stone. \ ct
the people of those lands have a way of
drawing their outer garment up over
their head and face, and such a pillow
I suppose Jacob had under his head.

over in the night and take another
stone, for with such hard bolster he

that night God built in Jacobs dream
a long splendid ladder, the feet Of it on
either side of the tired pilgrims pillow,
AID the top Of it mortised il the sky.
And bright immortals came out from
the castles of amber and gold and put
their shining feet on the shining rungs
of the ladder, and they kept coming
down and going up, d procession both
ways.
l suppose they had wings. for the
Bible almost always reports them rs
having wings, but this was a ladder on
which they used hands and feet to
encourage all those OF us who have no
wings to climb, and encouraging US to
believe that if we will use what we
have God will provide a way. and If we
will employ the hand and the foot he
will furnish the ladder. Young man.
do not wait for wings. Those angels
folded theirs to show you wings are not

hard pillows-hard for.ickness, or hard
for poverty, or hard for persistence
know that hard pillow IS the landing
place for angels. They seldom descend
on pillows of eidcrdown. They seldom
build dreams In the brain of the one
who sleeps eaay.
The greatest dream of all time was
that of st. John, with his head on the
rocks Patmos, and IN that vision he
