Electricity and the Christmas Tree

The prettiest Christmas tree in town
borrows its splendor from the electric
light for the pleasure of one small maiden.
When the electric light was put in the
house Christmas was remembered and a
special attachment provided. The tree
towers to the ceiling and at a touch
blossoms into buds of famc-red, blue,
green. purple and gold. 1t stands dur
ing the holidays, and many small players
caper under its branches from time to
time without fear of catching thei& curls
on Ere.-NeW York Evening Sun.

HOM,S THIS2

A certain Cuthbert lady tells a
good joke on herself. The lady in
question wears false teeth both up
per and lower and is a sonambulist.
Her teeth are her constant compan-
ions. She never thinks of parting
with them either day or night for
any length Of time. Retiring as
usual few nights since, she awoke
during the night only to find her
teeth missing. She thought, posi-
bly,, that she had taken them out
and put them in the pillow cases
she looked and, behold, they we're
not there. Her next thought was
that she had placed them between
the mattresses, but her search re-
vealed the fact that they were not
there, and with the same luck she
searched under the bed and around
in the room. The thought next
seized hold of her that she had
swallowed her teeth. Becoming
much alarmed she awoke the other
lady in the house. Her lady friend
appears upon the scene and seeing
her friend in such distress tries to
pacify her and to dissuade her from
the belief that she had swallowed
her teeth and proposes a search of
the premises for them. This was
done. Lo and behold, after visor-
Gus search one set were found on
the back door steps and the other
near the back gate in the back yard,
some distance off. OF course she
was delighted. She can account for
this only for her having walked in
her sleep during the night and UNI
consciously put them there. The
lady IN question proposes hereafter
to use lock and chain on her teeth
before retiring at night. Enterprise.

The cratic Missouri River is
threatening, and will most likely
soon accomplish, the complete de-
struction OF the town of East Atchi-
son, Mo-, on the opposite bank from
Atchison, Kan. The stream has
been eating new channel for sew
eral months, and during the past
summer has washed away over 300
acres of land. 1t is now within an
eighth of a mile of East Atchison,
and the destruction of the little
town, with many thousands of doll
lars worth of valuable property, is
regarded as inevitable, and the peo-
pie are moving away as rapidly as
possible.

upper aad neither milistones-a shortcrop
and Democratic tariff reform prices
That is all OF piece with the other sam
pies OF Republican trickery. There are
no ''reform tariff prices. - Tariff reform
mas not yet commenced. The ruling
prices are protection. prices. The farmers
have not yet been relieved. Ii the price
of wheat is affected by the tariff they are
being ground by the millstones of Nc
Kinleyism. This must not be forgotten.
1t needs no argument to substantiate it,
the fact only is necessary to present and
the truth is palpable.
The pretense of dread of what may come
as an active cause OF present depression is
vain and illusory. It is invented by those
who hold it up wherewith to frighten the
timid and to divert attention from the
real sources of existant evils. 1t is of the
same deceptive nature as the falsehood
that a Democratic administration is re-
sponsible for the effects of Republican
legislation which it is bound to enforce.
1t is wretched cause that has to be boil
stored MP by such miserable subterfuges.
They are a sure sign that the g. o. p. is

federated Labor Convention.

The great Chicago exposition has been
made the occasion of many important
congresses and conventions. One of them
yet to take place is the meeting of the
National Federation of Labor. The latter
part of August is the time set for the con-
vention, which is to be attended by dele
gates from every part of the Union.
This federation is the largest organiza-
ton of working people in the country,
and on the last day of the meeting there
will be a grand street parade which will
be the most imposing demonstration labor
has ever made in the land. Chicago will
turn out its thousands upon thousands of
workers who, with the visiting hosts,
will make up tremendous army.
This organization has not acted hereto
fore in any but conservative way in the
interests of the laboring classes. 1t may
be expected that the same moderation
will be exhibited in its Chicago delibera-
tons. One of the most important SUBJ
jects that could be discussed is that of the
inherent rights OF working people and
the attitude of organized labor towards
persons who do not choose to join the
ranks. This also involves the question of
employers rights.
There is no dispute among rational
people as to the right of labor to organize
for its own benefit. Even the opponents
of labor unions who believe they are
an injury to the working class as well
as to society must admit that right.
1t is the action of union members towards
non union workmen and to employers
that is in question. The freedom of the
individual and the supremacy of the law
are involved in it.
When men combine to prevent others
from working under certain conditions it
is very different TO their organizing to
regulate their own conduct in relation to
them. Every man has as much right to
remain unconnected with a labor
organization as he has TO join it. Every
employer may give work to non-union
laborer as freely as to aunion hand. Any
thing that interferes with these rights is
both unlawful and unjust.
Strikes may sometimes be necessary.
Usually, it must be admitted, they are
detrimental to those who engage in them.
Occasionally good to the working people
may perhaps grow out of them. But
leaving out the question of the good or
evil in them, they pass the line of right
when they proceed to force, either by
preventing anyone from working or
hindering the operations of trade OF bust
ness. This cannot be too strongly
brought to the attention Of labor Ing peo-
pie, aud it ought to be made clear be-
You'd doubt at the great Chicago con-
vention.
In labor journal now at ihand there is
vigorous and infiamnatory TRADE
against employers and capitalists gener-
ally, because OF fight with strikers in
which some Of the latter were severely in
