1t is a pretty hard joke on the work
ingman, but it shows the officers of the
Metropolitan museum have an active
sense Of humor.
Although this hospitable building is
closed against the public on Sunday it is
always open on that day to a favored
few. All the officers of the institution,
fellows, founders, etc, are admitted with
their friends and families by special
cards. But the public, the working peo-
pie, those who most need it and can only
come on this day, are they also admitted
by special card?
Oh, mo-! They are told, with all the
emphasis that a front door can give, to
go TO the devil and mind their own bust
ness. And while this is done from a
deep religious motive, the favored ones
are strolling about inside with plenty of
elbow room enjoying the works of art.
They have it all to themselves. What
fun it must bel And what a hilarious
joke on the crowd outside who are ex-
cluded by the religious principles of the
trusteesl-Life.

1t is impossible to cast ones eyes
abroad upon this serene and beautiful
world without lighting upon some OBJ
ject that suffuses the face with a tender
glimmer of recognition. Yesterday in
Newark a mother starved, after having
distributed the last remnants of food
among her children. This tragedy has
a sequel. Application had been made
IN her behalf to the overseer Of the poor;
The answer was, There was no room
for her" Thus after the tragedy ever
comes the farce; the same old moss
backed, rheumy eyed, doddering farce
that has held the stage since Elizabeth,
queen, gave a name to Virginia. And
this follows: 1.-THE city will probably be
called upon to bury the body. Now,
how shall we class that part of the per,
formance? Is it pantomime, perhaps.
with Newark's overseer of the poor in
his favorite character of clown? One

The collar and linen goods manufact-
urers of Troy never had such a success
full six months in business as the last.
The Mckinley tariff bill gave them all
the protection they asked for, and gave
their business a great boom. Some of
them are celebrating their prosperity by
cutting down to starvation point the
wages of the poor girls who have made
their fortunes. They are living in ele-
giant mansions, building great additions
to their mammoth establishments, living
in luxury and wearing purple and fine
linen" while the girls they employ are
having their wages cut down to the
poverty line. The impression produced
IN the community by the last Gu OF
wages and the strike is a painful one,
and we hope the manufacturers will
speedily get out of the bad attitude they
now occupy.-Troy Northern Budget.

A new problem in social economy has
been coming to the front during the last
ten years, and now stands boldly and
defiantly in the foreground under the
legend, "What are you going to do
shout itT"
The unprecedented accumulation of
money by certain trusts and corpora
tons converts them into bullies and
braggadocios. They mislead public opin-
ion through the columns of newspapers
subsidized in their interest; they have
powerful Hobbies in the legislature, and
by means of deals and Doodle either pass
laws for their own benefit or prevent
the passage of laws which may cripple
their dividends. The community is
powerless, and, except in periods of al
most revolutionary excitement, is help
lessly swindled and victimized.-New

The brakes are all blithe with song.
On the hedges rose garlRnds sway

As shoeless, and tattercd, and grimy and

A skylark sings high above,
A thrush from yon hanging bough,
Far away in the wood a dove;
But he passes with scowling brow;
Their melodies once he was wont to love:
He hates them now.
Hates all; save the Sheltering night.

And squalor IS out OF sight.
The hunger its distance keeps,
And unmocked by the birds and the mead.

One other question which occupied
the n. A. B. at its late session was that
of apprentices. The bosses want to put on
enough apprentices to remove 1.-THE ne
cessity of drafts on foreign labor" How
dear to the hearts of these gentlemen
are the American workingmen. Now,
what is the real object of tlfis agitation
of the apprentice question? Why, the
bosses want to employ boys to do the
lighter work at about one-ffth of the
wages demanded by journeymen. 1t is
well understood that IN o all skilled
employments there are portions of the
work which can be done by those with
little experience-there's where the me
chanic may ease mp n little on the strain.
If this part of the work is lone entirely
by helpers and apprentices the demand
for skilled men is lessened and competi
lion between them for the reduced mum
Der of situations is heightened. At the
same time the bosses are turning out
half made mechanics, who are carefully
educated to a low scale of wages. The
unions of this country generally have
very reasonable rules governing appren-
ticeships, and the manual training
schools, which are becoming so numer-
u and popular, a be trusted to make
upany deficiencies that may occur in the
skilled labor market in the near future.
At present there isn't one important trade
in this country that is not o~vercrowded,
and all this talk about the necessity for
drafts on foreign labor" is balderdash.

This gentleman would have a gag law

rent unjustly treated workingmen from
appealing TO other w%orkingmen who
were tempted to help the bosses starve
their brothers into subsection. A guard

placed around the mind of the working

may not enter and make a. impression.
The bosses may have their oath bound
organizations, pledging each member to
stand by his fellow member in case OF
strike or boycott. and may exact heavy
fines for violations OF the principle, but
the workingman must stand alone, and
not attempt to influence the body or

"A Web Of Gold" is full of weak
points, but while it may not prove a val

arising in time above the ordinary, and

of education, but she has evidently gone
too fast. She should take more time

II will be remembered that the long
lockout at Spring Valley, during which
the miners and their families faced
starvation and other hardships, was
ended by a partial resumption Of work
in the mines. An agreement was made
between the managers and men which
left to the latter little more than the
right 10 live. But that agreement, one
sided as it was. has been grossly ylo-
lated by the company. Men who were
prominent in the miners union have
been victimized and blacklisted; others
were punished by refusal of work for
more han one-third of the time, and by
being compelled 10 dig where they could
not make S15 a month. In innumerabls
ways the company's agents nave abused
the men and violated the agreement. and
Spring Valley has become the synonym
for all that is unjust. hard listed and
cruel.
