GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

"A watchful soul is soul upon the
wing--a soul out Of gunshot-a soul
above the ouds.-Phillips Brooks
-Self-help is the best kind 1t de-
velops use and eases the community,
which is thus left free to aid those who
cannot help themselves
1T was quaint saying of Matthew
Henry that while man was refined,
woman was dust double refined, being
one remove further from the earth.
1t was fine saying Of Fenelon,
who was saint II ever there was one,
that ''The crosses which we make for
ourselves by our restless anxiety for
the future, are not crosses that come
from God"
THE difference between the state
and the church is this The state says,
"You must;" the church says, you
ought" The one means restaint the
other constraint That stands for com
mission; this for conscience.
Men have ruled well who could not
define commonwealth, and they who
understand not the globe OF earth COM
mand large part of it. They do most
by books who could do much without
them.-Sir Thomas Browne.
--'Tis the fine saying Of a noted
thinker that amusements should fill up
the chinks of life, not the great spaces
thereof. Take pleasures as Daniel said
his prayers-with windows wide open
--pleasuses that need not cause blush
on an ingenious cheek
The books that do us most good
leave behind them no trace of morbid
self-consciousness, or mere pious senti-
mentalism; they make us able to go
forth in the strength of the Lord, and
after the example Of His saints to meet
the evils that we must attack, the
temptations that we must face in thia
everyday world. Lucy Larcom.

ANN ARBoR STRIKE.

The Struggle Practically mt ,an End-Im-
portant Concessions Granted TO the
Men.
TOLEDO, O., March 15.-The Ann Ar
Dor strike is practically at an end and
the company expects to be running
trains regularly to-day. Railroad Com
missioner Kirby and J. M Ashley, pres
ident of the Ann Arbor, were in con-
ference all day, going over the books Of
the company, discussing the demands
OF the men and examining into their
grievances. Late last evening they
had not concluded their labors, and the
terms upon which the men will agree
to go back to work can only bo guessed
at In the matter OF wages, it is un-
derstood the men are not disposed to
ask too much.
From Commissioner Kirby II Is
learned that there would have been no
strike but for the many minor injustices
alleged TO have been inflicted upon the
men by the superintendent and master
mechanic OF the road. 1t is intimated
that one of the conditions Of the settle
ment will be the removal Of these OFF,
cials Traffic was heavier yesterday
than at any time since the strike COM
menced and the road Is moving consid-

BY the memory Of the cradle in which
your childhood was rocked with the

the crib in which your own children,
slumber night by night under Gods
protecting care, by the two graves in

beat with love so long for your welfare,
and by the two graves in which you,
now the living father and mother, will
find your last repose, / urge you to the
discharge Of your duty. lssRss
Though parents may in covenant be,
And have their Heaven in view;
They are not happy till they see

from the skies to-day and give new
emphasis to what you told us on earth,
with many tears and anxieties! Keep

the cross, and amid overwhelming and
/ gracious memories, we resolve, each
one for himself, "As for me and my
house we will serve the Lord"

At the late English church congress,
held at Follxestone, there were several
significant straws that showed which
way the ecclesiastical wind is blowing
nowadays One Of these was the recep.
ton Of cordial address Of welcome TO
the town made by a non-comformist
divine there which called forth an
equally hearty response from the arch
bishop of Canterbury. Another was
an acknowledgment on the part of the
head Of the English church that the
former attitude OF the church Of antag-
onism towards science was now
changed to one Of expectation. A third
straw was statement made by the
same dignitary that the position of the
church towards the industrial classes
Is the main issue of this decade.
That Is to say, catholicity towards re-
ligionists Of other creeds, friendliness
towards scientific research and frater-
nifty towards the working classes are
hereafter TO characterize the established
church. This change Of spirit is a new
conversion-rhay It be carried on to

found some as intelligent, interest
ing, and aspiring men and women as it
Ia seldom my pleasure to meet. 1T in
creRses my reverence for the capabilities
Of human nature to find such sterling
qualities, such clear headedness, such
broad comprehension Of the meaning
and purpose Of life, such wide informR-
tioD, and such answering devotion to
high moral principles as found among
the leading representative men and
women in southern Kansas mining
towns.
/ do not hesitate to state thsC it is my
belief that the companies would prefer
to be rid Of these men who are 30 well
informed as to sec through the lab
yrinth Of figures and of calculations by
which the operators could confuse and
mislea6 the more ignorant into the be-
lief that they were receiving fair and just
pay for their labor. Should the strikers
lose their case in their forlorn battle
with an all-powerful adversary, the in
telligent men Of high character will be
marked for dismissal. They know too
much. A lower order Of men will better
suit the purposes of greed and gain.
Among such, there is seldom an effort to
rise toward better conditions.

Result of SuSpending Pensions,

PORTSMOUTH, o., July 30.-Secretsry
Hoks Smith was hanged in efigy by the
enraged citizens of Rome, little town
IN Adams county, Saturday night at 10
o'clock. A number Of pensions had been
suspended before. The climax was
reached when the pension of j. L. Reed,
q veteran of the Eleventh Illinois cav
airy, aged 83, was dropped. Mr.. Reed
had served four years and five months,
and his pensin was his sole support.
When he received the notice of his sus-
pension he became q rsving maniac.
The aroused citizens, led by John Fur
nier, democrat, proposed to hang Smith
in sfigy.
Saturday night over 1000 people, ire
spective of party affiliations, assembled
to participate in the ceremony. A plat
form was erected on the public landing,
and several speeches were made, after
which 9 professions marched through
the town headed by brass band. The
efigy was hanged and then burned.

He Gives the Vice President the Benefit
of His Opinion,


PORTLAND, ORE, July 25.-Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson and party arrived here at
7:30 this morning, and were driven to a
hotel for breakfast at Salem. The vice
president was welcomed to the state by
Gov. 9eDneyOr, Notwithstanding the
hour was early. Great crowds were at
the depot. In welcoming the vice presi-
dent, the governor said: mo fairer land
upon the whole earth IS visited by the
sunlight Of heaven than our own Oregon,
and yet with all our resources, many of
our industries are at q stsndstill, and
many OF our laboring men are without
employment, and their families are with
out bread. This condition Of affairs is
the legitimate result of the departure
from the financial policy of our fathers,
which was made two years ego, and
which still exists. Believing this, we
appeal to you to use your utmost inhu-
enCe to procure return to the policy of
the government which was successfully
followed for eight years. The simple re-
peal Of the Sherman law, thus leaving
our financial system on gold basis, by
the great political party which elected
you to the next highest Office in the gift
Of the people, which gained control of
the legislative and executive branches of
the government, and which pledged It,
self to the people on it's last national
platform to secure without discriminR-
tion against any other metal the coinage
and use of both gold and silver as the
standard money Of the country, would be
a flsgrsnt breach of coed faith which all
honorable men would scorn and which
would justly subject the party perpetrat-
ing it to unmeRsured contempt of the ma
tion and the world, nor would it be of
any benefit. The people of Oregon,
therefore, beg you to carry out the writ
ten pledge Of your party by restoration
Of the former financial policy of the gov
ernment which would result In the re-
turn Of prosperity and revival of indus
tries, and give employment to the vast
army Of unemployed"
Vice President Stevenson, after ex-
pressing gratefulness for the welcome,
said: "In response to words of the dis
executive Of this state, can
only say that to the best Of my ability
will sndeavor to cooperate with those
who, regardless Of party, have in view
the best interests Of the common people
of the land"

AMONG THE MINERS.
Continued from page II

same as when first established.
Among the entire number Of miners
with whom / talked, / did not find one
who knew Of single instance where a
miner was the owner Of home paid for
solely by his own wages. In every case
the men had been assisted by the labor
Of his family. In the majority of cases
where the miner owns his home, his wife
has helped to pay for it by taking in
washing, sewing, or by keeping boarders.
Whenever the payroll shows large sum
paid. to the miner, it represents the earn
ings Of an assistant. AS soon as the
miners boys are old enough to be taught
the trade, they are taken into the mines,
and the pay for their labor is included;in
the fathers check, and it is thus that
the largest showings are made on the
compRny's books.
The houses which the miners occupy
belong to "the company" (only small
percentage having even shadow of
claim to home), and are one, two and
three-rUom cottages put up in the job-lot
style Of modern contract. The rent
ranges from "a to 50 a month. Probably
one years rent would pay the cost Of any
Of them.
The mining villages are located in q
dresry waste OF fiat, sandy, barren coun-
try. Their long rows Of houses, built
after the same plan, advertise themselves
as contract built and company owned,
and are typical Of that vsunted and
cherished "individualism " which the
conservers and defenders Of the present
order Of things dread above all else to
see sncroschsd upon by the progressive
and humanitarian efforts Of the pro-
moters Of q new and better order Of
society. The eut-sfter -one-pattern style
Of architecture which sbounds in villages
and in the poorer section Of cities is the
result Of that "psternalism" which OBJ
tsins where one man or a company owns
the homes (P) of the lsboring classes.
The company" is 80 desirous Of being
impartial that it furnishes sll-alike |
houses for its children. This manner Of

proVRl Of President Grover Cleveland. It

dent sdmirss. Drudgery, ten hours per |
