NUMBER IS.

In Carver Union, No. 1928, on February
2sth, 1891, the following was unanimously
adopted:
Resolred, That we, the members of this
Sub Union, tender our thanks to Mr.. w. j..
Coleman, merchant at Sabula, Mo-, for his
kindness in reducing the price on his goods
to the members of the F. & l.. z. and citizens
and, further,
Resolved, That copy of this be sent to the
IRON COUNTY REGISTER for publication,
and a copy 10 Mr.. Coleman.
A. LEWIS, President.
GEO. LEWIS, Secretary.
The citizens Of this community had an op-
portunity to listen to most excellent ad-
dress by Mr.. James Smith, State Lecturer of
the F. and l.. u, at the courthouse Monday
afternoon. Mr. Smith dealt with the finan-
cial issues of the day in a clear, logical aud
forcible manner. He demonstrated the
iniquity of our national banking system by
which man may take fifty thousand dollars,
buy bonds with it, deposit those bonds with
the government, and while drawing interest
upon them, get reissue of forty five thous.
and dollars in national bank notes to loan.
He dwelt at some length on the manner in
which gold was artiicially forced up to two
dollars and eighty five cents during the
war by making greenbacks receivable for all
debts except duties imports and interest
on the public debt, thus placing the import
er at the mercy of the gold gambler, who,
through the importer, was enabled to rob
the people. He showed how, after the war
was over, six hundred million dollars were
added to the interest bearing debt entirely
for the benefit of that class which is now
vociferating against the free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Smith believes in free trade, free coinage,
and the total destruction of national banks
His description of the supreme effort of the
Kansas Alliance to defeat Ingal S, to select
circle of friends after the speaking, present
ed the accrimoniousn of that contest in a
a strong light. 1t seems that the Kansas
Alliance appointed three Baiiffs to each leg
isator, whose duty it was 20 stay with him
day and night, until the conflict was settled.
Every influence was brought to bear on the
"cow- hides" by friends of the "iridescent"
senator from filthy lucre to the solid dove,
as history will show, to no purpose. Let the
good work go on.

PERSIAN PASTiMES.
How People Sometimes Amuse Thsnaslves
 In the Shah's Land.

Excepting their great religious drama or passion play, called the "Tazieh. :" the Persians have no dramatic amuse- ments such as afford entertainment to other people. They partly mako up for this lack by listening to professional story-tellers and strolling musicians. They are also addicted to card playing, although with much less variety of games than with European cayds. Games of chance are forbidden in the Koran; so also arc pictures or scdlp- lures of human beings; but tho faolle, pleasure-loving Persians have foand means to evade the precepts of the prophet of these points.
 Next to the ''Tazieh" the least ob- jectionable sport in Persia is that of athletic exhibitions. All people with 8 healthfully developed manhood en:oy displays of physical strength. which need never be demoralizing when kupt above the brutalities of the prizo ring
 As one strolls about the streets of Teheran he often sees a crowd collected intensely absorbed in some exciting scene. They are dead to all else but what is going on before them. On ap- proaching and peering through chin1 in this animated mass one nnds that they are gazing on wrestling match Such Is tho steadiness of the climate that almost the whole year round such exhibitions occur out of doors under q clear sky. But these are cheap shows witnessed chiefly by the lower classes the performers being altogether second. rate.
 If ono would sec tho athletes of Persia at their best he must sec them in the covered arenas where they per form to "cultured audiences. The professionals of Persia form class by themselves, as distinct from other pur- suits as our actors, as carefully trained, dieted and disciplined us champion oarsmen.
 Tho athletes of Greece and Rome thought to maintain their prodigious strength by frequent and violent exer- cises in the gymnasium. But the Per sian professionals follow quite another course. They avoid severe exertion and fatigue. They eat five or six times day and are warmly clothed, especial ly during the cold season. As the Persians also treat their horses in the same way--and all the world knows tho endurance, strength and beauty of the Persian breeds-this system may not be so absurd as it at first appears to us with our different notions and practice.
 These athletes on ordinary occasions go abroad but once daily, and toward evening. and walk with great delibera- tion. What is especially remarkable, so long as they pursue this profession they lead lives of absolute confluence. St. Anthony was mere tyro in chastity compared with tho Persian athlete who. for no spiritual and eternal ad- vantage but solely for worldly and perishable objects, mortifes the flesh.

Training for Life.s Rattle.

Mir. Carroll D. Wright United States Commissioner of labor, contributes an article to the New York Tribune on the chance to earn q living. Mfr Wrigh. estimates that in this country thera were in June last g. 900, 900 persons. Of all ages and conditions engaged is gainful occupations; and that there ars +6. oo0 persons added each year to ths number engaged in all occupations. for which vacant places there will next year be 5000, 900 candidates-men, women, and children.
 If the conclusions be correct it nec- essarily follows that those persons who desire to compete successfully for the vacant places should be thoroughly equipped mentally and physically. Tho necessity for this equipment becomes moro apparent every day. Even if Mir. Wright should be mistaken in his assumption that the time has already come when the number of business opportunities is smaller than the num- Der of persons desirous of obtaining em- ployment it must be admitted that tho competition of the present time Is . competition of skill with skill. or of skill against the lack of it. Increase of industries has increased tho wants of tho people; luxuries have become ne- cessities and each great invention has carried with 1t an increased number of occupations. many of which were not before known. But this increase In production has also made 1t necessary that there should be more than muscle and strength brought into play. and that even the farm hand must have in. formation Of a higher grade then that merely necessary to enable him to swing the scythe or to handle the hoe. In every department of industry men and women should have not only technical equipment but bring to their employ ment character and assiduity.
