The Conservative papers Of Great
Britain belittle as pitiable affair the
demonstration in Hyde park, London,
of the National League For the Adolf
ton of the House of Lords. They say
there were "only" 10, 900 persons pres
ent, and that they looked very small and
weak scattered as they were among IL Q
10 speakers platforms But the Con-
sentative papers that make light of this
demonstration forget it is a tremen-
dous thing that there should be such
a meeting and such league at all.
When one thinks back and recalls what
would have been the status in old feudal
days Of the very people who now com.
pose that league, the distance the COM
mon people have travelled in Great Brit
ain will be appreciated. From the
swineherd over whom his lord possessed
power even of life and death the I'M
titled citizen of England has reached
the point where he dares to protest pub
licly against the right of the hereditary
lord to make the laws governing him.
In no reign previous to Victoria's would
such gathering have been possible. It
would have been almost high treason to
suggest such thing. AS to the noble
lords, for them this movement is the
handwriting upon the wall The twen-
tieth century will doubtless look down
upon British lords still, but they will
no more be hereditary lawmakers.

POpULIST CONVENTION.

The populists of Stevens county
met at the court house hall, IL NJ,
Sept. 9Th, and adjourned until 2 p. m.
Temporary chairman, John Sanders,
with T. E. Colahan as secretary,
called the convention to order.
Minutes of previous meeting read,
and On motion accepted. Nineteen
members present.
On motion, r j. Hall was admitted
as proxy for James McCarroll.
Motion carried to make temporary
officers permanent.
r. J. Hall, after few remarks
upon the subject, moved that the
convention nominate the parties
placed in nomination by the demo
cratic convention. Some objection
was made as to commissioner in End
district.
Mr.. Borrill, the democratic nominee
for Office Of treasurer, asked that some
other good name be placed in NOM
nation by the convention, but after
remarks of John Sanders the conven-
ton refused to consider the request.
Fred Rentz' name was offered for
commissioner of End district and the
delegates from towns composing that
district cast the following ballot
Fred Rentz 6 votes; G. Anderson 4
votes. The chair declared in favor
Of Mr.. Rentz.
Messrs. Prodger, Torgerson and
Hodgson were present at the con-
Venticn, and as named were called
upon to speak. The two first named
were not prepared and excused
themselves. Hodgson complied with
the request aud talked. Among many
things said, he made the remark that.
''if the populists could not elect their
own men, they did not care who go
the Office; in fact it was just as
suitable 10 him if the meanest mel
got them"

The action of the populist county
convention in swallowing the prev
iosly nominated democratic county
ticket, executing the nomination of
Charles 0. Anderson, of Donnelly, for
ounty commissioner in the End
commissioner district, is causing con-
siderable uafarorable comment. An
,lerson ranks high as a citizen and
Glcr"ssful farmer and is peculiarly
vel! fit I'd for the office by virtue of
long heirg q member of the town
board of his town. Why he should
be cut and deliberately snubbed his
fr;ends cannot understand, and if as
limited, tn" Job was put up to help
certain other nominations in the
county ticket, it will prove an I'M
profitable and even disastrous de-
parture. The candidate of the popu-
lists, Mr.. Rentz, all consider a good
competent man. Tt is not him they
object to, but the action of the con-
vention.

One fact is apparent in the midst Of
all labor troubles Wherever friendly
spirit exists between employers and en-
ployed there are apt to be few strikes.
For three generations the Cramp ship
yard has been in operation at Philadel-
phia In all that time there have been
only two strikes in the works, and these
two were speedily and satisfactorily adj.
justed Many of the carpenters and work
nen in the shipyard have been In the
mploy of the Cramps from the time
that they were old enough to drive q
nail. and they are now gray headed. In
some instances grandfather. father and
son have lived their laboring life in the
shops. Most of the men are of Ameri-
eau birth and ancestry. The disturbing
element in workshops came to America
with the foreigner. Low priced labor
and strikes go together.
Between the Cramps and their en-
ployees there exists the old fashioned
spirit of community of interest between
master and Ian. The prosperity of the
one means tile prosperity of the other,
and the men understand this. When
the Minneapolis spurted out from the
Cramps shipyard and showed herself
the fastest cruiser, the men went wild

N. o. Nelson, the metal artificer,
many years ago drew his workmen out
of ST. Louis and planted his factories in
convenient suburb. He established
the profit sharing system with his men.
Today he is rich. His men own their
homes, their old age is provided for,
and the clubhouse. libraries, parks and
gardens give them more than the adj
vantages they would have in q city
There has never been strike
The same story over again might be
written of Alfred Dodge, the great felt
maker of Dolgeville. The profit shar-
ing system is in vogue. A model settle.
ment of workingmen' s homes is cluster
ed about the factories. There are nc
strikes.
Near Bloomington, Ills, are the coal
mines operated by company of which
Vice President Stevenson is president.
In the midst of the labor commissions
this summer these mines have suffered
somewhat, but less than any others
in the state, although they are among
the largest At the beginning of the
coal strike the men at Bloomington
went out on sympathetic strike. But
there was an arbitration meeting, al
which the men agreed to go back to work
at their old wages in return for certain
concessions made them. The dispatch
announcing the adjustment Of the differ

kindly feeling between employer and

Echoolboys of the older dayS wiz,
recall with mischievous CLEO their de-
vices to outwit the f1agellator and
soften the effect of his blows. The
methods of the operator were closely
studied, and preparations made ac-
cordingly. If it was his practice to
apply the rod to the back the most
usual course in later days when a
real good fiogging' was administer
ed-a copy book or school atlas was
thrust up under the jacket. In some
cases it was found advisable to place
the defenses lower down. Feruling
on the hand gave no chance for such
protection.
In my own schooldays light, hex-
ible rattan cane was used by the
principal for fogging purposes, sting
ing without infiicting serious injury,
as was the case with heavier instru.
ments of punishment used in some
other schools. 1t was a belief among
the boys that the insertion of fine
hair in nick at the end of the cane
would slit it up with the first blow
and make it useless. When a fog
ging bee was in prospect, the en-
deavor was always made to secretly
cut the nick and insert the hair. DC
casionally a more desperate scheme
was undertaken. The rattan was
stolen from the masters desk, hastily
cut into short lengths and divided
among the conspirators, and after
school triuinphantly smoked as ''ci-
gars" to the admiration Of the smaller
boys. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

When the humorist began his lee
ture, he would sometimes describe it
by saying, "One of the features Of
my entertainment is that it contains
so many things that don't have any
thing to do with it," and in the mid
die Of his lecture he would stop and
say:
Sowing to a slight indisposition,
we will now have an intermission Of

The audience would begin to feel
uncomfortable at the thought of star
ing at vacancy for that time, when,
rubbing his hands, the lecturer would
continue, but, ah-I will occupy the
intermission by telling few stories. +"

The American League of Architects
has had an important discussion. TWAS
on the subject of tall buildings. Presi-
dent George B. Post declares it archi-
tecturally possible to construct build
ings 40 and so stories high. The ques-
ton is, Is it desirable to do SO? It is not
for several reasons. One is that the
streets on which these lofty structures
stand would thereby be made dark and
damp. The high houses decrease the
light and the rental value of small houses
next them. The chief architect of the
Worlds fair buildings, Mr.. d. FL. Burn
ham, said that the question of the height
of houses would be finally determined
by the elevator and elevator space. He
declared there is rate of elevator speed
beyond which people will not and cannot
go. This is probably true. Architects
may make the 40 story house as safe as a
rock, yet somehow there will always be
feeling in the human mind that the
nearer the ground one is the safer he is.

Where is Eden?

Many reams of good white paper
have been spoiled, and many an old
gray goose deprived of quilts, in the
endeavors of theologians to determine
an actual location for the garden CT
Eden. Josephus thought that it en-
braced the whole region lying between
the Ganges and the Nile. Galvin's
opinion was that if lay in Babylonia.
near the Persian Gulf. Calmet sun
posed it to be i'll Armenia, near the
sources of the rivers Tigris and
Euphrates. The Mohammedans be-
lleved Eden to have been in one of
the seven heavens, and that when
Adam was cast out, he fell upon the
earth. Some modern critics, lot king
towards the cradle of the race in the
far east, think it to have been in
Bactria or Cashmere, where a ce, tain
region is still called Audyana-"T
Garden" The opinion of the more
advanced critics is that Eden was not
an actual earthly locality, but that
the spiritual significance of the story
s all that concerns Christians of to-
day. The section of our country
which answers best our idea of an
Eden, SO far as productive land and

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

Above the Clouds.

There is story told Of some work
men who were building the tower of
church in the city of London.
There was some last work to be done
on the spire, and but the one day in
which to do it if the church was
finished in the desired time. On the
morning in question one of the heavy
fogs settled down, and the master
workman was almost in despair. One
of the men, more thoughtful and
more in sympathy with his masters
anxiety than the rest, observed, IF it
is possible to climb to the top, it
might be we would get beyond the
fog and be able to work." and he vol
unteered to make the attempt, which
was successful ;and when at sun set the
fog lifted from the city, the last
beams of sun shone upon beautiful
church finished from foundation to
top of glittering spire, and the church
had been completed in the given time.
The general lesson to the Christian
to be learned from this story is 80 ap-

drawn, but there are special lessons
that enter into everyday working

things go more and more criss-cross.
Now is the time for mother to get
above the fog into clear light of
