The press of New York has recently won
two victories for which it is receiving the
thanks of thousands of people in that city.
One was the opening of the public art gal
leries on Sunday. and the other was the free
ing of the foot-path on the Brooklyn bridge.
The newspapers of New York. almost with
out exception, contended that the laboring
classes. those who had no opportunity for rest
or recreation on any other day, Should have
the right on Sunday to visit the art galleries
and enjoy their besutiiul treasures, They be-
gan the agitation for the opening of the gal
leries and pushed it so vigorously that the
authorities were compelled 10 accede TO the
demand that these places be kept open on the
Sabbath.
The newspapers also commended that New
York and Brooklyn were too rich and too
great TO collect toll from the poor people who
were compelled TO 60 back and forth over the
bridge. They worked away on this idea until
they built up public sentiment which de-
nianded the abolition Of charges TO foot pas
sengers on the bridge, and now everybody in
New York and Brooklyn is as free 10 walk on
the bridge as on any street in the city
Great Is the power OF the press.

The reaction from the expressions OF LABOR
which characterized the eighteenth century
and the early part Of this has not only broken
the bonds which Standardization, butthreatens
another form of slavery in which employer
and employed will alike lose their personal
freedom.
The effective power Of combination has
been demonstrated TO be 80 great that not
only have unions Of the various trades vndi-
Gated their own rights, but have impetuousiy
proceeded to assail as enemies and subJugate
NIL whom they conceived to be their opponents.
This disregard Of the rights of others pro-
ceeds in large measure from selfshness' but
chiefly from ignorance Of the inevitable and
terrible consequences Of such principles II en-
forced.
II is almost incredible that any great body
of American citizens-educated in our atmos-
phere of liberty and equality. and attached to
our institutions, which guarantee to all men
life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness
would deliberately undertake to overturn those
fundamental personal rights Of their fellow
citizens, without which all else would be an
empty sham. Voting is nothing in compari-
son with personal freedom and the right to
make bread for yourself and family.
In another column. under the head Of
From Freedom TO Bondage" will be found
an extract from n recent essay on this subject
by Herbert Spencer-the apostle Of advanced
modern free thinkers which forms the intro
duction to a work called "A Plea for Liberty"
OF this we shall have more to say hereafter,
but for the timebeing it is quite sufficient to
sound again the old-fashioned warning to our
fellow-citizens; The price of liberty is eternal

The soubrettes who ornament and llumi

I'm God We Trust"

ORIGIN OF THE MOTTO ON UNITED
STATES COINS.
People who see the the motto, SIN
God We Trust" on the coins of this
country might suppose that this pious
assertion had been stamped on United
States coins from the foundation of
the nation. This supposition would
be wrong. From the foundation of
the Government until 1864 no relg
ious motto ever appeared on our coins.
In November, 1861, a clergyman ad-
dressed letter to Mr.. Chase, the Sec
retary of the Treasury, suggesting a
recognition of the Deity on the coins.
This letter was referred to the Direc-
tor, with favorable Endorsement by
the Secretary, but it was found that
the notices could not be changed
without authority of law. In Decem-
Der, 1868, the Directors submitted
plans for a new three-cent, two-cent
and one-cent piece, on which it was
proposed that one of the following
notices be inserted; "Our Country,
Our God;" "God, Our Trust" Mr..
Chase suggested in lieu of these mot
toes the one, SIN God We Trust.
1t was the two-cent piece authorized
April 2a, 1864 (since abolished), that
the motto SIN God We Trust first ap
peared. IT is now upon all the large
| coins.

A Mean Practical Joke.

to me, ''you talk about your mean
tricks and cruel practical jokes-Ive
just had one played on me that's the
meanest and cruelest that a man ever
thought of"
What was it ?" | inquired.
'Ill tell you. 1t was like this. l
goes into the Wellington this noon to
lunch, Just as I'm sitting down in
comes Jack Austin. You know Jack?
He's the closest old skinfnt in six
counties. Well, he sits down at my
table and says he'll tell me a funny
story. | size it up that he is getting
into me for the lunch, but | says moth
ing, for know there's no help for it,
see l only have about S. so in my
clothes, seel
81 let him order first, and he goes
and orders woodcock and things like
that up to $3.2s. This kind of freezes
me, and SO l tell him Pm feeling sick
all of sudden, and all want is cup
of coffee and some crackers. That
costs quarter and makes the bill up
to the limit of my pile, see3 Well,
we eat our lunch and Jack tells two or
three funny stories, and pretty soon
the waiter comes around and makes
! out two checks with total of S3.5
"'Here says Jack to me, give me
your check. III pay for the lunch
"Now l call that one of the most
dastardly of practical jokes. If l had
suspected that he was going to do any
thing like that l would have eaten
about Sc worth, as l was nearly
starved. The worst of it was he saw
through it all and it tickled him i'm
mensely." ..
