FINED GEN. GRANT.

Justice Walter. of Washington, Punished
the Great Soldier for Fast Driving.
Few justices of the peace in America
have had so many distinguished people
before them as il has fallen to the lot
of Charles Walter, of Washington, to
try. Among those who were arraigned
before Justice Walter was Joseph n.
Bradley. father of the present associate
justice OF the United States supreme
court, who in 1857 carried challenge to
Judge Fisher to fight a duel with John
A. Surratt, son of the woman who was
hanged for completely in the murder of
President Lincoln. Gen. Sherman once
appealed to justice Walter for protec-
ton against b. S. Snider, who had
threatened his life, and of whom the
general wrote in his complaint: This
man will bear watching He is either
a crazy man, or bad one pretending
Christian charity
But, perhaps, the most interesting
among the records of Justice Walters
court is warrant bearing date April 6,
1855, and issued on the oath of Officer
Stephen A. Bailey. charging that Gen.
Grant twas driving his horse faster
than moderate trot, contrary to the
corporation ordinance On the back
are the words: April 10, 1886, fined S.;
paid" and in Gen. Grants handwriting:
Il will appeal at p. m U. S. Grant"
But the appeal was not taken and the
fine was paid.-Chicago Post.

FRATERNAL,SM.

Government Of, by and For the People
is Fraternalism, Pure and simple.
The best evidence that the very es-
sence of old par tyism is really monarch
ical, is that it always refers to any pro-
posed action of the government in be-
half of the people as paternalism. If
the reader will stop to analyze the idea
behind that w5rd it is this, that the
government is something apart from
and above the people just as father is
the natural provider and, therefore,
above and superior to his children
This is monarchy. And our old parties
are monarchists because they simply
substitute the word government for
king.
In true republic pater nalism cannot
exist even in the thought of its citizens.
Fraternalism, not paternalism, is the
idea behind a real democracy. Pater-
nalism means authority-fraterna!i
cooperation. The republican and dem
ocratic parties see in our government
exactly what the British try to see in
the British government, something
apart from and greater than the people.
The peoples party sees in our govern
ment as it ought to be, exactly what
the fathers of the republic saw, an
organized brotherhood.
The peoples party renounces the pa
ternal theory with all the ardor it can
command, and denounces the republi-
can and all other parties that hold to
the doctrine of paternalism They in
sist on the simple and sublime doctrine
that this is, or rather ought to be, a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people. The govern
ment is simply the people in their
organized capacity. 1t is the author
lied agent of co-equals, of brothers. 1t
IS the chief, the only function of this
agent to promote the welfare of the
brotherhood. No king business, no
father business, no kaiser business,
simply, only and purely brotherhood
business. Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none"
1t is the function of the government
as defined by the constitution, to make
money, declare the value thereof, and
emit bills of credit. Now this is fra
ternal, not a paternal function, to be
exercised for the benefit of the entire
citizenship-that is, of the national
brotherhood
G01S
supreme function has been delegated
to certain wealthy citizens under the
form of national banks, who have used
this original power of the people to
rob, plumber and enslave the people.
Instead of emitting bills of credit direct
to the people, the government has
made it possible for bankers and money
lords to contract, expand and regulate
the volume of bills of credit which is
another name for money, at their pleas
ure. AS consequence of this more
than one-half the wealth of the Amer
lean people is in the hands of less than
thirty thousand people.
When the people demand the aboli-
ton Of these national banks and the
issuance of bills of credit direct to the
people in such quantities as will do the
business of the country on cash basis,
the demand is branded by the Shy lock
parties-that is, by republicans and
democrats-as patern4lism, which is
supposed to be something very terrible.

The PoTTER,S GRAFT.
A Trade Which Is One OF the Most I'm
healthy In the World.

A Trade Which Is One OF the Most I'm
healthy I'm the World.
While the potter's life is pleasant
one compared with many other mechan-
ical vocations, being surrounded with a
sense of the beautiful and an artistic in
stinct which goes far to make his exist
ence happy it is unfortunately brief
The business is one of the most I'M
healthy in the world. Potters commence
work about eighteen years Of age and
at thirty-five perceptibly begin to de-
cline. The average trade lives Of the
pressers is seventeen years and of the
lSilnmen fourteen and a half Pulmon-
airy diseases are common among the
slip-makers, turner's and jiggermen.
The revolving molds keep q cloud of
clay dust about the workmen which
they can not avoid inhaling. In many
factories the clay is mixed in damp cell
lars which increases the liability to
colds. Hollow-ware pressers stand
while at work, and are obliged to stoop
q great deal, the size and weight of the
molds make their work laborious, and
the rapid motion agitates the dust to the
injury of their throat and lungs The
sagger-mnkers are liable to overstrain
their muscles in placing the saggers in
the kiln. An ordinary sagger when
6lled with ware weighs from 90 to 100
pounds, and after twenty years of lift
ing suoh weights the workmen begin to
decline. In the decorative departments
there is danger Of lead poisoning from
the dry coloring matter.
At joining the trade the mortality is
low. but after the age of thirty FIVE
years il is far above the average. In
England this mortality has been espe-
cially noticeable, it being exceeded only
by costermongers. miners and hotel
servants. This high death rate was so
remarkable that it caused DR. VIM.
Farr, register general of England, to
ask the pertinent question: What can
be done to save the men from dying so
fast in the potteries?" In America the
potters are much better off than in En-
gland. Our factories are larger. better
lighted and better ventilated Anthra-
cite coal used here prevents the smoky
atmosphere which surrounds the En-
glish pottery districts.
There Is a constant betterment to the
sanitary conditions of American estab-
lishments, but there is room for further
Improvement especially in the avoid
ance of dampness and dust. 1t is not so
much the physical labor that injuries
the potter as it is the dust arising from
the materials in which he works. If
this could be obviated the business
would be changed from a short-lived
and unhealthy occupation to one long
lived and healthy. This will undoubted-
ly be brought about with the progress
of invention and the advent of better
economic conditions Offering larger OPP
portunities for labor and causing en-
ployers to compete for the best work
men by affording them better accom-
modations -ChautauQuan.

CuPlD's SLAVE.

A slaEe-and yet the world
Does not Fevile or scon at me;
A slavel and yet the world
Has not for me much sympathy.
My letters do not burn
Their way in SCARED and m&rtyred flesh
Nor does the lash in turn,
Bring forth the blood from wound afresh
do not cringe nor bow
Before masters scornful glance;
Nor scheme and ponder how
can gain liberty, perchance
serve my master well,
And my fair mistress, too, ween;
But yet tits hard to tell,
Save By her smile 1 sometimes CLEAN.
At times she does exact
Too strict obeyance &c her will;
Yet with her subtle tact
Dispels my vain remonstrance still.
IT'S true, quite often, too,
Her petulance distracts me much;
And In my plight, rue,
Lest our poor hearts are not in touch,
Yet when she seems intent
To make my servitude severe,
see her quick relent
And try to calm my pain and fear
feel her touch my check
see repe ntant tear-drops shine;
She suffers me to seek
Her lips; TO press them close to mineI
IT'S then marvel how
ever deemed her harsh before;
And as kiss her, VOW
To be her slave fer evermore.
