What Does 1t Mean ?
Are We on the Eve ora Gigantic Baiiroa,
Struggle.

Are we on the I've OF Gigantic hnilrnhd
Struggle.
The Easton Free Press of Mo day
says: The meeting of representatives
of organized railroaders employed on
the Reading system was held amid
greatest secrecy here Easton or Phil
lipsburg Sunday What was done was
not divulgod. It is known that the
members Of grievance committee
went to New York Monday to confer
with railroaders there. Two reasons
are given for the action OF the men
one the unjust discharge of five engi-
neers somewhere "on the New Jersey
Division of the Reading;" the other,
that the Reading intends to compel
the men to leave all the organizations.
1t is said that the reason for the dis
charge Of the liyo engineers was that
they refused to leave the brotherhood
and join the beneficial organizations
Of the Reading company.
IL is said that there is apprehension
that the Reading officials will not re-
ceive the grievance committee, and, if
that is the case, the trouble will be
precipitated. IL is said that one Of the
grievance committee remarked before
he left that he did not know when he
would get back. lie might return in a
few days and it might take two months
to settle the trouble. lie gave out the
impression that the men were ready
for big fight. They are in the fight
to finish.
A peculiar feature of the movement
is the unanimity with which strictest
secrecy is preserved, coupled with the
fact that not in fifteen years have any
of the organizations on either the Le-
high Valley or Jersey Central had
trouble with any of the companies, de-
spite the wages were low and unequal.
Early in July a secret meeting was
held i'm Easton sin anticipation of
trouble" and since then the different
organizations among railroaders-en-
gineers, firemen, conductors and train
men generally have greatly increased
their membership.
In this connection the following will
be read with interest.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a prominent
labor official in this city said that a
meeting held at Easton yesterday by
representatives of the various railroad
organizations to take action upon the
discharge of number of men by the
Reading combine, because they would
resign from labor organizations, will
be followed by meeting in Philadel.
phia on Tuesday, which will be attend,
ed by prominent representatives OF
the railroad employees associations
The meeting will be strictly secret and
will be in touch with secret oath
bound organization that is running
over the entire Reading Railroad sys-
tenn, and which is so arranged that
even if Il single member betrays his
trust it can only effect himself and no
one else. OF course, the strictest sec
recy in enioined, as the Reading be-
lieves it has not a single member of
any such labor organization among all
of its employees. This new order is
planned so as not to be exposed either
by detectives or rewards.

eration OF Mankind.

Count Toistoi's First Step in the ReEsn-
eration OF Mankind.
only desire to establish the PROPOSE
tions that in order to lead a moral life,
It is necessary to observe certain Sc
quence in good actions; that if a man IS
serious in his aspiration to lead a good
life the practical manifestations of that
desire will necessarily unfold themselves
in q certain order, and that in this order
the abstemiousness self mastery is the
first virtue which he will have to cult
vate. In the pursuit Of the virtue of alb
stemiousness he must again observe n
certain definite order, and the first step
therein will be abstemiousness in food
fasting
In the practice of fasting the first
thing from which he must abstain, If he
really and truly aims at leading q good
moral life, is animal food, and this for
the ineligible reason that, not to speak
Of the passions it engenders and fosters,
the consumption Of animal food is plainly
immoral because it demands an act
which does violence to our moral senti-
ments--viz., murder-and is encouraged
and kept up only by mems greed of gold
and their appetite for savory food. The
reason why the first step in fasting and
in right living is abstinence from animal
food has been admirably formulated,
not by one man only, but by all man
kind in the persons Of its most accredited
representatives during the course Of hu-
man history.
But why, one may ask, if the illegality
i. e., immorality-ofc consuming animal
food has been recognized by mankind
for such long period, have people never
theless persisted down TO the present in
ignoring this law? This question natu-
rally suggests itself to those who are
prone TO be guided less by the light Of
their own reason than by public opinion.
The answer to the question, however, is
that all moral progress land moral prog
ress is the essence Of all progress what
ever) is work Of time, is accomplished
slowly, but that the sign Of genuine
progress, as distinguished from casual
advance, is its uninterrupted continuous
ness and its ever increasing rapidity.
The vegetarian movement ought to fill
with gladness the souls of those who
have at heart the realization of Gods
kingdom upon earth, not because vege-
tarianism itself is such an important
step toward the realization of this king
dom (all real steps are equally important
or unimportant), but because it serves
as a criterion by which we know that
the pursuit of moral perfection on the
part of man is genuine and sincere, in
asmuch as it has taken that form which
it must necessarily assume, and has truly
begun at the very beginning.
1t is impossible not to rejoice at this,
just as it would be impossible for people
not to feel glad who, after having vainly
endeavored to reach the top Of the house
by attempting to climb up the walls
from various sides, at last meet at the
bottom step of the staircase, and crowd
ing together there feel that there is no
way of reaching the top except by as
cending that staircase and beginning
with this first and lowest step.-Count
Tolstoi in New Review.

1T CERTAINLY would be very amusing
to have Lehighton's great disciple of
Blackstone, Samuel Gillian run for
District Attorney against the able jos,
Fisher Mebbe those fellows who still
remember that brilliant speech of
Sans when he labeled all Democrats
as rebels and copperheads wouldn't get
in their little work. Sam Gillian as
District Attorney would be almost as
bad as Sam Gillian as a school teacher
Both are bad.

THE OPPOSITION to W. f. Biery have
commenced a system of what they call
practical politics" in the present legis

and bunOombe and the spending OF
considerable money for beer and
whiskey. Carbon county people how
ever, are too intelligent to be caught
by this style of electioneering and viii
render a rebuke at the November elec
tion aud the result will be Biery vii
represent Carbon county in the mex

BIERY HAS Ben Kuntz on the run now
and it takes all the time the latter can
tind to keep fixing up things along the
line. Mr., Biery is an honest, capable
fellow and won't simply be a figure
head. If occasion calls for it he can
get up and say something that amounts
to something, poor Ben however,
who is lead by the bosses only holds up
his thumb. Biery will be elected be
cause he is the poor mans candidate.
