ofor ignored by unthinking leaders of labor
organizations :hat popular sympathy is al
wavs on the side of labor when its demands
are just and reasonable, and that 1t is al
ways sufficiently strong to compel corpora
tions to grant such demands when
made by their employees. Public SYM
pathy is turned the other way when
force, from the use of which the pub
lie suffer, is first resorted to for the purpose
of securing concessions. In this country,
where, with so few exceptions, all men are
working men, the representatives Of labor
have no reason to fear that the great masses
of their fellow citizens will not sympathize
with them in their efforts TO secure fair treat
ment from employers. If their demands for
such treatment are wisely made they cannot
be denied, but wisdom, as Mr.. Powderly de-
clares, generally suggests other means for
securing Justice than that OF strikes. Force
may sometimes be good last argument, but
it is commonly the very worst first argument.

C0LORED MEN IN CONFERENCE.
Interesting Session of the African Meth,
dist Episcopal Zion Church,

dist Episcopal Zion Church.
CHICAGO, September 4.-The second days
session of the Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was more
largely attended than the opening session yes
terday. Sermons were delivered by Revs.
Temple, Jenifer and Claiborne. Bishop Lomax
also delivered an able sermon.
In passing upon the character Of members
there was considerable opposition to passing
w. A. Foareman, of the Twelfth Street Church,
Louisville. The church owed about 500 to the
general fund, which, the pastor said, could not
be collected owing to the cyclone blowing
down the church. and the church became tenn
porarily disorganized in consequence. Mr..
Lawson said that the mother church should
help to rebuild the church, but. however, he
would settle the matter by becoming liable for
the amount due. The Rev. M. A. Easton
preached this evening.

SNAKES IN wATERMEL0Ns.

Although Torpid When Found, IL Was Alive
and Began TO Crawl Away.
BRIDGEPORT ILL, September 4.-Recently
a small boy let fall a watermelon, which burst
on the ground. Inside the melon was a snake
IL inches long. 1t had an eel-like appearance,
but was dark colored, with white spots over its
body. Although torpid, it was alive and began
to crawl away when the melon burst. The
fragments of the melon, when placed together,
melon burst, and the snake must have grown
in the melon from the time 1t was a blossom.
Although a similar occurrence has been re-
ported IL was never before observed IN the
melon country here The authenticity of this
case is undoubted as DR.. j. C. Barr was close
by and saw the snake an instant after 1t left its
place in the melon. The spot where 1t fell was
a smooth piece of ground as bare as a floor.
