Ingersoll ON Labor.

New York, April 7.-Robert G. Inger-
soil has the following editorial over his
own signature in the journal:
hardly know enough on the subject to
give an opinion as to the time when eight
hours are to become days work, but I am
perfectly satisfied that eight hours will be-
come the labor day. The working people
not. capitalists will require just as many
hours as human nature can bear. For the
man who gets up before daylight and works
until after dark, life is of no particular i'm
portance. He simply learns enough one
day to prepare himself to work another.
such life is without value. OF course
cannot say that the present efforts are 60
ing to succeed. All can say is that hope
it will. I cannot see how any man who
does nothing, who lives in idleness, can in
sist that others should work ten or twelve
hours day; neither can see how man
who lives on the Injuries of life can find it
in his heart or in his stomach to say that
the poor ought to be satisfied with the
crumbs they get. believe there is to be a
revolution between labor and capital.
The working people are reasoners; their
know great deal more than the capital
lists. It takes Thousand times more brain
to make a locomotive than it does to run a
store or bank. Think of the intelligence
in the steamship and all Thousand machines
and devices that are now working for the
world. These working people read, they
meet together, they discuss, they are be-
coming more and more independent in
thought. They do not believe free schools
In this country has tended and put men on
an equality, and merchants understand the
side of the case and are able to express
their views.s Under the circumstances there
must be revolution. The laboring men,
however. ought to remember that all who
labor are their brothers, and that all women
who labor are their sisters, and whenever
one class of working men or women are OPP
pressed, all other laborers ought to stand
by the oppressed class. Any man who will
help to force his brother to work more than
eight hours day is not a civilized man.
Ny hope for the workingman has its foun-
dation in the fact thot he is growing more
and more intelligent. have also some
hope for the capitalist. When both be-
come intelligent the matter will be settled.
Neither labor nor capital should resort to
force.

To Escape From Tornadoes.

When trying to escape from tor
nado never ruin to the northeast, east,
or southeast. Never take refuge in a
forest or grove of trees, or near any
object that may be overturned by the
wind. A frame building is safer than
one built of brick or stone. The form
er is more elastic and holds together
longer; the latter goes down in the
first crash, and the debris is whirled
into heap in center of the foundation.
In frame structure the cellar is the
safest place, but in brick or stone
building it is the most perilous. In
the former case the debris Is carried
away from the foundation. while in the
latter instance the cellar is filled with
it.
The tornado cave offers absolute
security to life and limb. and no means
of protection can replace it for that
purpose. AS regards protection to
property, no building can be made
sufficiently large, strong, high. or low
to resist the force of the tornado's vOr-
tex. There is no changing the path Of
the tornado by the employment of cx-
plosives or by any artificial barrier.
TO contemplate the dispersion of the
cloud by the use of any electrical cou-
trivance is also idle. All buildings
should be constructed as would be
done without the knowledge of the
tornado. and then protected ny legiti-
mate insurance. Protection must be
accomplished by organized capital. the
safety Of one being assured by the
legitimate and successful cooperation
of many.
The writer strongly advocated this
method of protection during his tor
nado investigations in the West in 1879.
and now several million dollars worth
of property are thus insured every
year.-F'0rnn,.

FATE COULD NOT HARM.
Tho Feeling OF Security OF a Man Whose
Life WAS Insured For go.

They are tearing down old houses al
ever the city to make room for tho
more modern houses. While these
houses are being demolished there 4,
usually class of people who crowd
around. eager to pick up all stray
pieces of wood which come in theil
direction. Colored people generally
predominant in this class. and many u
family is thus supplied with fuel.
While tearing down house in the
northwest section Of the city recently
the workmen were very much bothered
by these wood hustlers." as they term
them.
The "wood hustlers' IN the case
were composed, with but one except
ion, of small negroes. This exception
was an old negro who had one leg
shorter than the other, and was nearly
bent double, but whether with age o.
not no one knew. He looked as if he
had worked hard al his life, but APP
pearances are deceitful.
The workmen Became so incensed at
the wood hustlers" that they drove
them all away excepting the old man.
After while the old man became mere
bold, and endangered himself in try
ing to get pieces of wood. One Of the
workmen spoke to him about it telling
him he would be hurt if he persisted in
getting in the way: The old man
mumbled out something, but paid no
attention to the warning.
Finally he got close to the wall and
stopped To pick up Il piece of a beam.
Just as he was STOPPING brick fell in
front of him, and he narrowly escaped
being hit. Seeing this. a workman
yelled.
Look out. ole man, or you'll be
killed"
Il doan't kare." replied the old man,
and he continued to confiscate all the
wood that. came within his reach.
Again he barely escaped being hit with
another brick, and again the workman
shouted:
Il done tole yer onst to git away
from dere. The fust thing you know
YOU won't know nothing"
II doan't kare," reiterated the old
man. looking around for more wood.
and, seeing some in the interior of the
building. he went for it. He had hard
ly passed the door when heavy beam
fell in the place he had just vacated,
snveloping him in II cloud of dust.
Several workmen, thinking that the
heavy beam had pinioned the old man
to the ground jumped down to render
all the assistance possible. Imagine
their surprise when, on reaching the
place, they found the old man gather
ing the wood as unconcernedly as
though nothing had happened. The
workmen were speechless for while,
and then one said: t'
Look a har. ole man. you'll have
to get out O this. We don't care bout
losin' time or carryin' yer korpus
through the street"
The old man looked contemptuously
at the speaker, and then said in don't
give-a-continental tone:

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.--The departure of

Is more than significant In short, the
general has been summoned to the national
capital by Gen. Schofeld and the Secretary
of War for the purpose OF discussing the
details OF his plan for at once dismounting
and disarming the hostile Indians in the
northwest. Gen. Miles was seen by a re-
porter Just before his departure and he
confirmed all that is stated above II go
to Washington" he said, ''to confer with
the general of the army concerning the In
dian situation. Yes, the situation is grave"
he continued, "and the necessity for q Wig
orous winter campaign is becoming more
and more apparent We are probably face
to face with a winter campaign. The hos
tile. Indians ought to be compelled to sur
render, and they ought TO be dismounted
and disarmed, and they will be. This is
all l can say except that they will probably
find themselves in position in the future
so that they cannot so easily mount and
arm as in the past. You may look for a
winter campaign in the northwest. We
have only 1000 mounted men in the Indian
country over a stretch of country 600 miles
long. The infantry is doing guard duty
only. With this force we have to keep
the peace until We get ready to crush the
uprising"
The war department is in receipt OF a
number Of dispatches from the seat of the
Indian, trouble, all indicating an improve
ment inithe situation. Con. Brooke says
that every hour lessons tho strength of the
