Money versus Flesh and Blood.

A bookkeeper in a Cleveland manu-
factory made the following statement
recently:
Now I'll give you these figures and
I'll stake my left hand they're correct.
But don't put my name in if you print
them. 1t would make me more trouble
than you think.
There is, when you divide the whole
amount of capital invested by the whole
number of men, boys and girls en-
ployed, about 81 ,250 put into the iron
business in Ohio by some capitalist to
every one working person employed.
That is, some capitalist puts up 81 ,25O
and some man or boy or girl puts up his
or her labor against it in this game of
getting rich through manufacturing
iron. Twelve hundred and fifty dollars
to play against perishing flesh and blood.
Those are the terms of the game.
Now go step further. Divide the
aggregate of all the wages paid by the
whole number of people at work and
you will find that the average wages fol
year is $3.50. Divide the aggregate Of
profits by each 81 $50 and you will dis
cover that the yearly dividend on it to
the capitalist is $40. That sounds toe
big, but it isn't, and the books of any
rail or wire mill in Cleveland properly
worked out will show the truth. This
is better for the manufacturer than slav.
cry and cheaper than owning niggers.

Big Railroad Strike in 1893.

Railroad employees are said to be
planning general uprising in 1893
when the Worlds fair is in progress and
traffic is heavy.
A leader among the union men in the
Erie yards at Jersey City said recently:
On nearly every road am acquainted
with, and certainly the eastern roads,
there is a general feeling of dissatisfac-
tion among the men. We know it is
the intention of superintendents to break
up the unions if possible, and believe
they would welcome strike at this
time and SO get the matter over before
the Worlds fair travel starts up.
1t was this knowledge that made the
grievance committee of the Erie and the
heads of various unions so conciliatory
with President Mcleod when the trou-
BILE on the Reading short time ago was
under consideration. We recognize the
absolute necessity of forming fedora
ton of all branches of employees in the
railroad business if we are to be success
full, and movement is on foot to bring
this about as speedily as possible. We
know the difficult job we shall have on
hand If strike is necessary, but by next
summer we believe our organizations
will be so complete and the conditions
30 much in our favor that the companies
will hesitate before they engage in any
confict.-New York World

A MORAL VICTORY.
The Prosecution of Homestead Laborers
in the Light of History.


The Prosecution of Homestead Laborers
in the Light of History.
The prosecution of the Homestead la
borers for treason is moral victory fol-
them. They may now exclaim with
Patrick Henry, "If this be treason, make
the most of it." 1t throws grave sus
picions on the cause of the masters
that they have been driven for vindica
ton to cOnjure up the ghost of that
sanguinary old fantasy known as "trea
son." and in sarcastic harmony with all
the other parts of the serio-comic play il
has been ordered that the Homestead
men shall be tried by "king's jury
Every forward step taken by social and
political civilizations since governments
began was an act of treason in its time
and there never was scarcity of judges
to declare it so. The law of treason has
to be dug out of moldy statutes and the
antiquated and foolish decisions of hired
courts.
A great newspaper, complimenting
the charge of the chief justice of Penn
sylvania, wherein he expounded the
Tory law of treason, says, at is essen
TALLY the ruling of the judge in the Chi
cago anarchist cases, which ruling was
sustained by the supreme court of Hi
nois." The compliment is deserved, but
it might be made stronger by saying also
that it was essentially the ruling OF
Judge Jeffries at the trial of Alice Lisle
when that distinguished jurist" went
the "bloody circuit" in the west, little
more than 200 years ago, which ruling
by happy coincidence, twas sustained
by King James ii.
The attainder of Alice Lisle was re-
versed in the next generation, as the
American attainders of this generation
will be reversed in due time. Alice Lisle
was put to death, but King James him
self was driven from the throne few
years afterward for tyranny, which, ac-
cording to Lord Byron, is ''the worst OF
treasons." And our own Lowell, with
the heroic blood of historic traitors
coursing through his veins and inspiring
his genius as he wrote, has told us that
"the traitor to humanity is the traitor
most accursed; man is more than consti-
tutions."
The great newspaper aforesaid insinu-
ated also that "the time has come when
heroic treatment is necessary, and that
the Homestead affair must be used to
teach disorderly strikers that they must
obey the laws" This has ever been the
cant of kings. 1t was the exhortatior
of Strafford to King Charles, urging hin
to that career of tyranny which brough
king and minister to the block, although
instead of "heroic" Strafford used thu
word thorough" 1t is the excuse con
demned by grand old Milton, himself a
traitor, where he says:
Necessity,
The tyrant's plea, excused his devilish deeds.

Sapho and Her Son.

The latest odd character to appear in
the city is known in the down town sa-
looms as Sapho Sapho is black wom-
an of unusual height, and her powerful
figure is that of an Amazon queen. She
dresses rather Enthusiastically, and carries
a banjo of the largest size, on which she
plays with power and no inconsiderable
skill, and she sings strange, weird Af-
rican songs in some native tongue as she
strums out the refrain upon the instru-
ment. Sapho is always accompanied by
a little colored boy of exceptional black
ness and the most timid and nervous
disposition. He clings to her skirts all
the while she is playing, and when he
passes his hat for money seems afraid he
will be cuffed. Sapho will not be drawn
into conversation, but scowls at all who
address her, and altogether is strange
and unique character among the human
oddities of the city's surface life.-Phila
delphia Record.

Those persons who believe that ex.
travagance, like charity, should begin
at home will derive much satisfaction
from the theory advanced by Mr.. Henry
Clews that the cholera scare may yet be
worth great many millions of dollars
to this country. "Asiatic cholera is a
disease naturally foreign to our coun-
try" said Mr.. Clews to the writer. at
is epidemic only in foreign lands. The
cholera scare is therefore likely to impel
people on this side of the Atlantic to
forego their annual foreign travelling
and sightseeing and do their own
country instead of undertaking the dan
