Frozen to Death.

An inquest was held on a man found dead
Ona man found dead in the street
He was only partially clad in rags,
And bare were his frozen feet;
He had neither stockings, flannel, nor shirt.
Nor hat to cover his head;
And the sight of his corpse all skin and bone,
Was picture Of the dead.
His age was forty, or somewhere about
At least the doctor thought so;
But he might be more and he might be less,
For they had no means to know;
But he looked more like q very old man,
For his hair was white as snow,
And deep on every feature of his
Were the lines of want and woo.
There was no register Of births and deaths
To tell Of his name or birth;
Or who his mother and father were,
And where they lived on The earth.
Had he u sister or brother alive?
4 cousin, q wife or child?
No one could tell and nobody cared,
For he was vagrant wild.
Who are to blame for the poor of the world,
Its misery and its shame?
Is 1t not they who usurp all the land,
And everything on it claim?
Is it not they who close each door,
Because they are in their naIue2
Who lock clothes and food in their private
store?
Is it not they We must blame2
shame on tho nation where riches abound
Whilst orc may be starved to death!
Whilst any may fail shelter to End
Whom they yield their fral BREATH

It is understood that bitter fight is
to be made upon Labor Commissioner
Meriwether by the mine owners Of
Missouri because Of his exposure of the
methods employed by many Of them in
paying their men in pay checks or prom
ises to lfquidate at some time in the dis
tant future, and also because of his ex-
posing the scandalous methods of the
''plucll me stores, which are run by
some of the operators in direct violation
of law. l do not think the fight will
prove successful, however, as the farm
ers in the legislature will stand shoulder
to shoulder with the working classes,
and will sustain the commissioner in his
efforts to have justice done an i'll paid
class whose work is hazardous.-Int

Dr.. I.rnaan Abbott.

In a recent lecture before the Brooklyn
institute Dr.. Lyman Abbott said that he
did not believe that there was any fair
minded, intelligent muscle worker in the
country who desires that muscle and
brain should be paid the same wages, but
that it is the constant labor of the muscle
worker for twelve, fourteen and even
eighteen hours day, at a stipend barely
sufficient to provide for himself and fam
lily, compared with the luxurious ease of
the man for whom he labors, who does
nothing, and yet receives from thousands
to millions a year-this is what brings
about trouble, and this is the principal
cause of much discussion of the problem
all over the face of the earth. There
should be but two ways of accumulate
ing money, he claimed-one by industry
and the other by gift or exchange.
''There are four things of our condi-
tion that every one is entitled to--land,
air, water and sum-" DR.. Abbott further
said, "and there is many a home in New
York where he.industrial system is we'll

G man who stands beside the bed of a
dying wife OF child, and who loves them
as deeply as you and do ours. He sees
the hectic fushes on the face of the loved
one grow paler and knows that what he
holds dearest on earth will soon be gone
forever. He knows also that if he could
have what belongs toelsIp--these four
things, fresh air, fresh water, bright
sunlight and little of Gods own froa
soil-this would not have happened in
nine cases out Of ten. Now, when he
comes back from the potter's field should
we wonder If his cheek is infamed with
indignation at what he knows should
not be!'

collective obligations are the greatest
of human duties, because they touch the
welfare, not of one alone, but of millions
of human souls. The Christian who
claims to do his duty to God and shirks
his duty to man is Il sad failure.
The duty of love is the keynote of
Christianity. To do good to all men, to
promote the highest welfare of all men,
is it's distinctive q.ality. Prayer and
praise and creed are all subordinate, are
only helps to this sreat end. To do is
the active principle or the Christ mes
sage"

Every labor organization should aid
in the good work this brave woman has
inaugurated. Their own interests de-
mand that they should help to educate
the women in the principles of unionism.
There are cases on record of factory girls
unions which were as well conducted
and as firm in demanding their rights as
the best of the mems unions. Men and
women must suffer while the latter learn;
but they must be aided by every pos
sible means if they are to make lasting
progress. JOS. r. BUCHANAN.

With a short extract from the authors
preface, which is of course his own opin-
ion and not charged to one of his charac-
ters, will leave the further considera-
ton of this interesting story for another
time: Projecting the future on the lines
of the immediate past, and the dullest
mind perceives that the concentration Of
power by reason of the control Of oppor-
tunity must, in very brief period, in
crease the ratio of dependency to an ex-
tent never equaled in any civilized
country. Already new feudalism has
been developed in which power is trans
mitted, not by blood, but by bequest,
and in which vassalage is secured, not
by an oath of allegiance, but by de-
pendency. The barons of wealth are to-
day more potent in molding the desti-
MES of others than the feudal lords ever

The character is beautiful, and yet not
in the slightest degree unnatural. It is
what would be the rule instead of the
exception were not mans nature de-
formed by his own environments. "Mur-
vale Eastman" though conscious Of
mans inhumanity, fully aware that in
the mad race for wealth and power men
become more selfish and cruel every day,
is not pessimist. He believes in God
and has faith in his creatures-when
their eyes are opened and they see the
way they will walk in it, and he labors
to make those he can reach see it.

Don't Expect TOO Much.

There is no place in the South where
money invested in lots and houses will
pay a better interest than in Clifton
Forge. The town has grown gradually
for the past few years, from a station on
the c. & 0. railway, TO a city OF Of 1000
souls 1t is still growing, and the popu-
lation would be as large again had there
been houses to accommodate those who
might have located here. Buildings are
going up in every direction and as fast
as they are completed there is either
buver or renter at hand to take them
The great need of the town is more
buildings, and that will be the increas-
ing demand for many months to come.
AS soon as the G. L 0. railway can adj
Just its affairs for that purpose large
number of hands will be employed at
their extensive new shops here. This
cannot be done in day, and it is I'M
reasonable to expect it. The company
must keep its machinery in motion and
its employees at work to meet the re-
quirements of the road. Change must
be effected by degrees, so as not to IN
terfere with the supplies the road cons
stantly demands. 1t will take months
to do this, but it will be done neverthe
less The establishment of large plant,
or a large industry, and its operation to
its capacity, is no easy matter. 1t cannot
be done in Whit, or as speedily as
buying a lot or the closing purchase.
1t takes time and labor and means to
either change or establish a plant, and
this should not be lost sight of by those
anxious to see large force engaged at
the workshops or on the factory plant.
When the promises, upon which the
the hopes Of many are predicated, have
fully materialized, the looked for activ>
ity in business will commence and in
crease and continue, as improvement
and development progress.
The indications all favor increase of
enterprise, new life and interest of every
kind and a general waking up all along
the line The exceptional advantages
presented in Clifton Forge and this en-
tire district will not be questioned
Capital and enterprise will avail of
them, and profess will.be the order of the

DARING SAFE BLOWING AND
ROBBERY.

With the increasing population and
business growth Of town also comes
the william. He is the scum of society.
and as soon as there is a stream OF pop
ulation to any point, he is found floating
along with it. or after it. Clifton Forge
had its first Introduction to one OF these
characters last Saturday night.
Sunday morning the first thing that
greeted the ears of the people after
getting out on the street was, Have you
heard Of the robbery and in a short
time there was IL throng OF persons going
toward the jeweiry store OF Mr.. j. 4.
Faber at the eastern end OF town, in a
diagonally opposite direction from the
McCurdy house. Investigation proved
that burglars had entered Mr.. Fabers
store, blown open his safe, and carried
away all of his valuabies. Entrance
had been effected by inserting some thin
instrument about one and a half Inches
wide, between the two folding doors
and, springing the lock, opened them.
This part of the work had been done
with apparent ease, for there was only
a slight impression made upon the door
in opening it. Inside there was only
chaos. The large safe door, lying ten
feet from the safe; show cases and win
dow panes shattered by the flying pieces
of the safes iron door facing, and here
a battered watch and there a distorted
ring or other trinket. all blackeDed and
L..
Two holes had been drilled into the safe
one through the door, ABOUT six inches
above the lock, and the other through
the top. 1t is supposed the powerful
blast was put in and exploded from the
latter point
The entrance to The store and the
drilling would indicate that the operas
tors were experienced craftsmen, but
the use of powder and the tremendous
charge are pretty clear evidence that
they were not Had the parties who
are alleged to have heard the explosion,
rushed to the store, the burglars could
not have succeeded III carrying OFF the
valuables, composed Of 500 in money,
watches and jewelry, which had evi-
IDENTITY been scattered in all directions
The loss to Mr. Faber is about "a 900,
and there is no probability of his ever
recovering the smallest part of it. not
withstanding diiigant efforts will be
made to detect and punish the perpe-
traitors. The loss falls heavily upon Mr..
Faber, as all he had was invested in his
business.
On the same night some one entered
the store of Mr. Licl>ter, on Railroad
Avenue, and took abont $50 worth of
goods, consisting OF Il pair of shoes and
several cheap watches.
A reward of $500 has been offered by
Mayor Bowles for the arrest of the par
ties
