With nine cut of every ten persons
life is mere struggle for existence. All
Of mans vitality and life forces are
spent in feeding and clothing the body.
With ten hours laborious work, two
hours for meals and from eight to ten
hours sleep daily, how much time is left
for the weary and overworked mechanic
or laboring man to de 7ote to self cult
ure? How and when can he develop his
higher self By the naturalization of
land and industries man could provide
for all the bodily wants by four hours
work (as predicted by Franklin even in
his time). Then he would be free from
the terrible worry and dread of want in
old age, which drives so many into in
sane asylums and to suicide. Then he
would have that leisure which is neces-
sary to study art, science, literature,
philosophy and religion, and evolve the
Intellectual and spiritual individuality
of the true man.-Charles E. Barnes in

A Lesson for Workinemen.

Messrs. McGhee and McHugh have
been fully vindicated, and an example
has been made of the author of the reck-
less allegations which constituted the
libel. This trial and verdict should be a
warning to workingmen, who are often
too prone to believe injurious statements
made against labor leaders because the
allegations appear in the garb of print.
Men who take up the cause Of the work
ers and advocate it against powerful
vested interests ought, surely, to have
the protection of those in whose behalf
they imperil character and means. But
it not unfrequently happens that the in
strument with which they are sought to
be crushed is found among the ranks
of labor organizations. We feel sure,
however, that every genuine trade union
ist in Great Britain and Ireland will be
glad Of the verdict which acquitted twp
such true and tried leaders as Messrss
McGhee and McHugh from the libels
which were printed and published by
Herman against them.-London Labor

CONDEMNED TO DEATH.
A CHINESE DIPLOMATS UNHAPPY
PREDICAMENT.
Empercr's Mandate Brought Him Home
to Atone for his Misdeeds.

PARIS, June 1.-Advices from Pekin
state that Tcheng- Ki-Tong, formerly act
ing secretary of the Chinese legation in
London and this city, has been con-
demned to death. This is believed to be
the outcome of the diplomats
action while in France. His life
in this city was marked
with many forms of extravaganza.
Early this year the London Times had a
dispatch coming ostensibly from Ii
Hung Chang, prime minister of China,
authorizing Tong to negotiate for the
Chinese government loan Of $1,000, 900.
Tong opened negotiations with English
and French banks, but was suddenly re-
called, and sailed for China, to the great
sorrow of a large number OF his cred
itors, to whom he owed immense
sums OF money. In fact it was
generally believed that he had taken
advantage of his official position to
swindle right and left. But the Chinese
law is far-reaching where the subjects
Of the emperor are concerned, and when
Tcheng-Ki-Tong was recalled, owing, no
doubt, to reports Of his conduct here
reaching the Chinese authorities, there
was no course open to him but
to obey the emporer's mandate. Had
he not done so his family in China
would have been held responsible for
his acts and all his relatives would have
been held to strict accountability for
the deeds of their kinsman. Rather
than bring this disaster upon his rela-
tives, Tcheng- -Ki-Tong obeyed his sover-
eign's command to return to his native
country. Immediately upon his arrival
there he was placed under arrest. His
trial shortly followed and death is the
penalty for his wrong doing.
