nary citizen. One trip down into coal
mine aroused in me hearty sympathy
for the men who brave indesoribable
dangers for the sake of providing for
their loved ones. Many a noble heart
beats under the rough Jackets of the
humble diggers upon whom the pluto
Gratis of the east look with contempt.
It is not necessary to tell of the hero
ism Of some of these men. 1t is mat
ter of history that many times young
fellows have risked, and sometimes sac
rifced, their lives to save their compan-
ions from death by suffocation or other
dangers peculiar to mining life.
That the west has succeeded in alb
sorbing the best of the eastern miners
shows that, despite all arguments to
the contrary, the region lying west of
Chicago must henceforth and forever
more be considered the mecca of the
American wageworker. And this holds
good not only of unskilled labor, but OF
the highest-priced artisans.
The only relief asked by the miners
of the west is the immediate passage of
an immigration law which would eff
fectually keep out of America the pau
per labor of Europe, and to such legis-
lation they certainly seem entitled.

Queen victoria,s Kindness.

Queen Victoria's kindness to the poor
people about Balmoral forms the sub
ject Of an incident recorded by the
London correspondent of an English
provincial paper. On the confines Of
the old estate lives an old retainer
who had for many years been familiar
to her majesty during her visits to
Scotland. On arriving at Balmoral the
queen learned that this poor old fellow
had been stricken down by a serious
illness. Not a long time elapsed ere
her majesty's little pony-chaise had
stopped at the cottage door and she had
inquired as to the progress Of the suf-
ferer. Since then baskets of fruit have
daily found their way to the cottage,
the gift in each case being accompanied
by an inquiry. In addition, her majes-
ty has made another personal call.

Of the subterranean industrial city. Al

The mine itself is divided into streets
and alleys. East street was the name

two miners were ousily at work.
When the men in one of these aper-

On the strength Of his remarkable re-

the load to leave the gloomy vault he
attaches metal tag to the cart, SO that
he may receive proper credit for his

only limited portion of the air from
the main shaft to go into any one ROOM
Not particle of air is allowed to go to
waste, as carelessness in this respect
might leopard the lives of ailworkmen.
The tools of the miners are extremely
simple. They have picks, short and
very sharp and perfectly fat at the end.
Their drills are about an inch in diam
eter and from six to ten feet long. After
a hole is drilled to sufficient depth, the
auger is removed and powder put in the
hole. A fuse is then attached and
lighted. The explosion following this
operation makes fearful noise. As
many as twenty tons of coal have been
loosened by one discharge in the mine
of which am writing
Most of the coal now taken from
American mines is blown loose by pow
der or some other explosive. In former
years this work was performed by hand,
and in some portions of Europe the old
system still prevails. After the coal
has been loosened it is broken into
pieces of various sizes by the miners
with the aid of their picks.
The social life in a mine is, OF course,
restricted and monotonous, but still the
busy workers find time to exchange an
occasional call with their fellows. When
one of the miners stands in need of
little gossip he simply shoulders his
pick and visits one of his chums in an
adjoining hole OF takes a stroll through
the main street, where he can always
find more or less company.
From the description of these social
functions it must not be supposed that
a miners life is an easy one, for such is
certainly not the case. To earn one
dollar and fifty cents a day miner
must labor most industriously ten hours
day amid surroundings that would
strike terror to the heart of the ordi-

1885 to menace the social and economic
conditions of number of once prosper

Whenever these Hungarians, who at
first came in small detachments, be-
came imbued with American ideas and
asked for increased pay, they were soon

who came by thousands to take the
places of their emancipated brethren.
At the present time scores of mining

ible disregard of moral and sanitary
rules and regulations prevail in com
munities once noted for their cleanli-

The mining of coal became an i'm
portant industry n the west many
years ago, and mine owners in Illinois
and Iowa were glad to get hold of the
workmen whom stern necessity had
compelled to leave their homes in the
east.
A recent visit to Iowa, made after an
investigation of the condition OF the
miners in Pennsylvania, impressed me
more than any previous comparison be-
tween the labor problem of the east

a fair degree of comfort makes the life
Of the Woodworking digger for the

churches are to be found in every settle
ment, and drunkenness is, to say the
least, not prevailing vice.
The life of coal miner is not a
healthy one. Exposure and impure air
claim thousands of victims each year.
Many who use coal every day have not
the remotest idea of how it is brought
to the light of day and made ready for
shipment.
The first descent into a coal mine
produces sensation not easily forgot

THE SONS OF TOLL.

Statesmen may state, and poets sing

They say the worker is a king,
The actual monarch of the soil;
The one through whom the world is blest,
Whose life is sweetened by his skill;
But prefer the Sons of Rest,
Who never work and never will.
Our order is as old as Time,
Ana every year but spreads its fame;
Our members dwell in every climb,
And everywhere our creed'S the same.
For us kind natures bounties blest
Fill every valley, plain and hill,
And therefore we, the Sons OF Rest
Have never worked and never Sill.
We hold that prverty is wrong.
Save when 1t happens to be ours;
And that to us alone belong
The rightful withdrawing powers.
We scorn the treadmill lives we see,
Wherever tolls battalIons drill;
They spin. and hew, and drudge; but We

Who never work and never will.
Men may make laws, and gather gold
And build, and legiSlate, and buy;
And soon they're underneath the mold
And none will halt to heave high.

Count gold and greed as dross and ill;
We glory in our creed OF rest,
