Come to Me, o Ye Children!

Come to me, o ye children,
For hear you at your play.
And the questions that perplexed me
Have vanished quite away.
Ye open the western windows
That look toward the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows.
And the brooks of morning run.
In your breasts are birds and the sun
shine,
In your thoughts the brooklets flow;
But In mine is the wind Of autumn,
And the first fall Of the snow.
All! What would this world be to us,
II the children were no more?
We should dread the desert behind us,
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest,
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood.
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
OF q brighter and SUMMER climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
Come to me, Oh We children;
And whisper in my ear,
What the birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere.
For what are all our contrivings,
And the wisdom of all our books,
When compared with your caresses,
sAnd the gladness of your looks?
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
For We are living poems,
And all the rest are dead

Running the Hatter's Trade.


Newark and the Oranges, N. j., con-
tain many of the principal hat facto-
ries of the country. At present the
trade is in bad shape, owing to the
buckeye" shops, which employ cheap
labor. It is claimed that the Hebrew
Benevolent association of New York,
which is under the patronage of Baron
Hirsch, is largely responsible for the
condition of affairs.
A large firm in Orange and other firms
have an agent who sends gangs of 25 in
experienced immigrants to the shops
each month. The men are guaranteed
So week and board for month. The
understanding is that they are to be
taught trade. The firm puts them at
a certain work, and in week they can
do something. Then they are kept at
the same work and make money for
their employers. When their time is up
and they cannot get work elsewhere,
they are kept a month or two longer if
they choose to remain. When they quit,
they go to some buckeye and find en-
ployment at even lower wages.
Said union halter the other day: 'It's
killing the business. Before long there
will not be an American halter at the

Labor In Illinois Penitentiaries,

Governor Altgeld has replied to the
inquiries of the labor assembly of Chi
cago touching the convict labor ques-
ton. He says in his letter:
The penitentiary commissioners are
starting the convicts to work on indus
tries which will not compete with free
labor, and the reason that no more has
yet been accomplished is that no radical
change is possible without the expendi-
ture of great deal of money and that
none has been available until the new
appropriation bills were passed. The
commissioners have been reasonably sue
cessful in getting appropriations, and it
Is hoped that within the next year much
will be done to prevent convict labor
from seriously competing with outside
free labor.

The Ford's theater disaster has aroused
the Washington Knights of Labor to a
renewed struggle against the contract
system, and it is stated that vigorous eff
forts will be made on the line of abolish
ing the present system of giving out con-
tracts by the government. On this line
at the last regular meeting of District

buttons were passed reciting that the sys-

their profits by skimping the work, using

abolition of the contract system on ma

The resolutions therefore provide that

repeatedly made to the proper authori-

the war department, would have pre-.
vented the fraud of the Washington
aqueduct and the murder of the clerks in
the pension and record division of that
department, and also that the legislative
committee be authorized to work for the
abolition of the contract system and the
substitution therefore of the system of
direct work by the government through
its own responsible agents.

A Stray Letter.

We have received the following
excellent letter from a prominent
alliance leader. We print it with
pleasure. In the first issue of
the Representative" Mr.. Donnelly
spoke kindly of Fish, but Fish made
fierce attacks upon him, week after
week, with all manner of false
hoods. Mr.. Donnelly felt, as presi-
dent of the alliance, that he should
defend his good name, for the sake
of the organization he represented.
He is sensitive, very properly, to
everything touching his honor; and
hence replied to Fish where he
should have ignored and despised
him as he deserved. But his friends,
from all parts of the state write him
not to notice him further. One
gentleman says, "There is not a
man who ever served in the same
branch with you in the Legislature
that will not certify to your incor-
ruptibility" Mr.. Donnelly stands
so high that it is not in the power
of E. w. Fish to injure him.
