WILL THE MESSIAH COME?

1t Is a serious circumstance that many
men of sound minds. not given to WIS.,
ionary dress, have predicted the coming
of Messiah. They have not made this
prediction as a joke or as an idle ran
com mental shot.
During the last week we had a war
scare The hasty Mr.. Debs now retires
from the field tattered and torn. His
cause was spurious and his course of
action lame.
But back of the actual conflict there
was still greater trouble. That cause
is the sordid, unreasoning and con-
temptiole greed for gold. This nation
has gone wild on the question of money,
not money with which to subsist, but
money for moneys sake. The posses
sion of money for moneys sake alone,
brings with 1t arrogance, supercilious-
ness, distrust and greed.
1t has come 10 a point when all our
conclusions are reached from the posi-
ton money occupies in our course of
reasoning. If the courts do not decide
bought up. If our officials act contrary
20 expectations, the officials have been
bribed. The collection taken in the
churches impresses many a man in the
congregation that the church is a great
deal more eager TO get its hands on
money than it is TO save souls. There
appears TO be no organization, religious
or otherwise, with which the idea of a
contribution or an assessment Of money
is not connected.

GREEK DEPUTIES As BANDITS

From the New York lyibaao.

Greek officials Indeed, the mayor OF
Duzesti recently gave dinner in the
city hall IN honor Of a robber band. \
few days ago 10 was announced that
the two Greek deputies, GhianuSsis
and Hadjigalzis. were arrested on the
charge of being professional robbers.
The complaint against these two depu-
ties is unique document, reading as
follows: AT the beginning of August,
1898, a band of robbers, under COM
mand of Messrs. X. Tsannka and g.
TSouka, armed with Chassepot rifles,

thing possible the robbers took posses.

possible the return of the Greeks Il

IABOR'S RIGHTS.

There is good deal of wild talk in
these Debs days about the rights of or
ganized labor. 1t is said that labor is in
peril, that labor, which is In demand
everywhere and at all times, and which
creates and sustains every value, is going
to be destroyed or converted into slavery
or transferred to machinery. Had Debs
ill-adviSed and unwarranted walk-out
in the interest of Pullman's employees,
tied up every railroad in the country.
and had that result been followed bv a
strike of the federated organizations,
and everything brought 10 a stand still,
the rights of labor would not have been
emphasized, nor IN Debs' failure are
the legal and real rights of any union
annulled. Rights, real rights. founded
on morals and upon reason will survive
all such buster of salaried heads as are
but theories leading to destruction of
life and property. Labor has no right
TO organize for war. Shooting or burn
ing cannot be made right or make right.
Powderly said: a strike Is a wound. a
boycott DEATH" and he was right. 4
strike hurts employee and employer alike
and never helps either. While orraui-
cation cannot annul or probably even
modify the law OF supply aud demand it
eau command the equitable thing as be-
tween man and man, but not by a resort
to violence
