THE Indianapolis Journal, in an ed
itorial article, states that the name of
ex-President Harrison will be present.
ed to the next national Republican
convention as a candidate for the
presidency. The use which the Jour
nal makes of Mr.. HarrisOn's name is
not authorized by him, neither is it
objected to, and it is believed he will
be guided in the matter largely by his
friends. The Journal states that his
mail has become abnormally large of
late, mostly consisting of letters from
all parts of the country asking him to
become a candidate for the nominal
tion in 1896. There is no question but
the Republican party will have plenty
of Good presidential timber within it's
ranks to select from when its national
convention meets two years from now.

those bodies. To teach men to pre-
pare for a rainy day; to lay by for OLD
age: to protect themselves from pow
erty in case of an accident or failing
health; loss of tools, ETC., and to re-
ward merit and inculcate the prlncl-
pies of brOtherly love and beneyOlence
are surely laudable objects, and can
not help but have some good influence
upon those who are prudent enough
to deny themselves today in ORDER
that they may enjoy tomorrow.
The discussion was opened by MI
f. w. Cotton, who stated that he
fully agreed with the sentiments eX-
pressed in the paper, and would not
enter upon any criticism upon it, but
merely make few remarks along the
same line of thought. He proceeded
to show the difference between
what he called the old and the new
trade unionism, which, in short, is
the difference between those who do
not and those who do believe in social
ism, and he believed the cure for the
troubles confronting society to be
through socialism.
The general discussion related large
ly to the rights of labor organizations,
especially in time of strikes, to take
possession of the property where
workmen had gone out. and decline
to allow the employers to proceed
with their business unless the de-
mands of the strikers were granted.
Much of the discussion hinged upon
questions growing out of the Great
Northern strike, and the duty OF en-
ployers to employed was touched up
on.
The last regular meeting of the club
year will be held on Tuesday evening,
May 18th. The question for consider
alton is the "Income Tax and the
paper will be presented by Mr.. W. ID.
Willard. The election of officers for
next year will also take place at that
time. The arrangements for the ban
Duet which will take place at The
Saulpaugh on the evening of May I'D,
were completed, and a most enjoyable
occasion is anticipated.

They'd put them in Jail, too.
And suppos'n Browne should

They'd Jail the entire posse too

Don't Blame God.


"Forlorn earth pilgrim /! no home!
Then die. That is better. The
grave is brighter and grander and
more glorious than this world with
no tents from marthings, with no
barbor from the storm, with no place
of rest from the scene OF greed
and gouge and loss and gain. God
pitv the man or woman who has no
home
The above is an extract from an
eloquent sermon preached by Rev.
Dewitt Talmage clarifying the
sweet influences of homes.
Don't let us blame God because
men have no homes. God gave to
man this beautiful earth, capable of
supporting the human race. in COM
fort, happiness and plenty.
He gives it the sunshine
He gives it the rains of summer !;
The flowers of spring;
The golden grain of the harvest
time.
He waters the face of the earth
with mighty rivers and beautiful
babbling brooks;
He gives the majestic forests /;
boundless ocean; the vast mineral
wealth fertile soil.
He gives to men and women
strong arms, willing hearts, cunning
hands.
There is no reason why every
man, woman and child should not
have a home-so far as God is con-
cerned.
He has done his share.
1t is man, in his greed, selfish
ness and avarice who has deprived
his fellow men of the homes they
should have.
Yes, God "pity" the men and
women who have no home-but
while He is plying them don't let
Him forget, and we say it as rev
erently as ever Brother Talmage
uttered a prayer in his life, to damn
the Infamous system of human laws
that prevents every man, woman and
child from having home-across
the threshold of which no landlord,
creditor, ax-gatherer or work-mas-
ter can, or dare to step his foot !
