Published by Request) A tribe of monkeys met one day,
 To settle some disputes That they had among themselves
 Concerning men and brutes; And as chanced to pass that way
 I felt an inclination To hear what they might have to say, And got an invitation To take seat among the rest
 And make myself at home, Among my old relations
 That in the forest roam. Says to one, "There's some mistake Explain it if you can Do you me for a monkey take
 Or call yourself man ?" Says he, s'My friend there's no mistake
 As far as we're concerned. This question rose among you men,
 And men that you called learned; And this is why we meet today
 To talk the mate over; So hear what we have got to say,
 And do not feel so sober.o took seat and must confess
 felt little queer To hear what monkeys had to say
 Regarding mems career; And what l saw and keard them say
 I'n tell it, verse or prose;- I'll let the muses settle that,
 No matter how it goes. But let it betin verse or prose
 I'll tell the truth the same, And if there's aught to give ofense, You'll not have me to blame. Iris always best to tell the truth, No matter who itchits- You need not put the fools cap on
 Unless you find it fits. It seems these monkeys all had heard

 The unions declare this law is violated, and that in several instances more than the per cent. are engaged in several trades, and declare that nothing less than the law of 1888, with the addition of unproductive labor in case of 8 sur plus, will satisfy them, and many of the legislators feel they have hotty prob lem to hand1e.-New York World.

It is well known that the most intelligent and earnest portion of the working class have for years past been seeking to render employment and the means of subsist- ence less precarious by securing an eqm

O'Reilly, of 4s.

Tom O'Reilly, of the Knights of Labor, was interviewed recently, and among other things said:
 We number 315,OOO members, and we are increasing at the rate of 85 new assemblies month. We are splendidly equipped and our machinery is running smoothly. Now, in February there will meet in Washington delegates from the Knights and from the Farmers Alliance and other industrial organizations. The coalition between the different orders. There will be no absolute fusion, for the knights and the alliance will remain separate bodies with distinct officers, as at present. But 8 platform for political action will be adopted suited to both order, and this once done, the 1aboring men Of the country will absolutely con- tro1 its politics. The knights will rec ornmend in the platform blanks as fol lows: Railroads and telegraphs to be owned and managed by the national government, and should be in favor of nationahzing certain industries, such as the ownership of all coal lands by the government.
 As to the secret organization of labor, this must come if there be any attempt on the part of corporations to crush the open organizations. We have proof positive that employers are now banded together to annihilate the organizations of laboring men. If this great conspir- acy succeeds, then will the workingmen organize in secret, and then may the in cendiary's torch and the :assassin's bullet play part in future struggles between capital and labor. But we do not think the day of terror is at hand.

The Situation in Europe.

Men are grooming over spell of win try weather unequaled in severity for nearly half century. Outdoor work has been greatly impeded, and all over the country frozen streams have stopped the water mills. The number of unem- ployed workmen has consequently been largely augmented, and already much distress prevails, necessitating special measures for relief and a. large expendi- ture of money by the poor law guardians. Here in London the distress has not made itself very apparent, although it is real enough. But the socialist agitators are endeavoring secretly to exploit the sufferings of the poor people, and trouble may result.
 But by far the most distFessful coun- try at the present moment is Italy. Sig nor Crispi has been making fine speeches about the glories of the triple alliance and the maintenance of peace, to the accompaniment of the cries and threats of starving workmen in every Italian city. The trouble has been accentuated, although not caused, by the phenome- nally hard winter. For months not 8 day has passed without the failure of some bank or great commercial or in dustria1 firm. The customs, excise and railway receipts have been steadily de- .creasing, workshops closing and manu- lecturers reducing the number of their workmen The national exchequer, long embarrassed, is getting into desperate condition, and the maximum tax endur- ance of the people seems to have been reached.
 The popular misery is widespread and terrible At Turin alone over 1000 heads of families are without work; at Milan, 10000; in Rome, 50,000. Men, women and children arc known to be starving in all those beautiful cities, and at Venice, Genoa, Brescia and elsewhere. The sufferers are not in amood to starve quietly. They demand bread or lead, and are pretty certain to get the latter, for revolutionary agents are at work 1 among them, and seditious cries have been heard at their meetings French men, with some reason, attribute the | Italian troubles to the vast and dispro- Eportiionate naval and military burdens accepted and borne as sa condition of entry into the triple alliance, and Paris therefore does not make even. 8 pretense of sympathy with Rome. .-Lon- don Cor.
