Their Ideal.

The Coxsy movement being under de-
bate in the federal senate, Senator
Gordon rose in his seat, and looking
triumphantly upon the distorted cOun-
tensncss Of his Northern colleagues, all
of whom be realized felt they were living
at home on the volcano Of the labor
movement, he contrasted the quiet and
restful condition Of labor in the South
with the restless, dissatisfied condition of
labor in the North, and he closed with
the words, "The South also has labor,
negro labor, happy, cOntented, WITH FEW
WANTS"
Senator Gordon spoke more wisely than
probably he knew.
Where labor has few wants, its wages
need be but slight, and oil the bigger, in
consequence, is the portion Of it's pro.

be regarded Rs q very dangerous enemy
by the men who, being responsible fol

Ys godsl can it be possible that the

have stolen the power from the people

sole solution Of the labor movement that
capitalism proposes and applies In bS.
tween the acts Of It's wholesale butcher
les through its militias, police and courts.
Here is an issue squarsly joined.
Capitalism seeks to reduce che wants
of labor, despite the increasing enjoy
ments civilization brings with II, the
wage slave is to be- lowered to On ever
lowering range Of feelings, pleasures, az
pirRtions; class rule Ia to be perpetuated,
and freedom to be suppressed.
Socialism, !. e., the labor movement,
seeks TO conquer for mankind the full
fruition OF increasing civilization, to
raise it's wants by raising man to an ever
rising range Of feelings, pleasures and
aspirations, 10 emAncipate the wage
slave, overthrow class rule and establish
freedom.
The black flag Of capitalist anarchy ID

human brotherhood and peace is thl
standard Of the latter. Our people ar

Of these two opposing forces. A handful
OF usurpers, clad in crime, and sustained
by their lsWd CampfOllowers, uphold thG
banner Of human degradation; the
thrifty, intelligent and moral masses ere
focking around the banner Of human re-
demption.

an atonement must be made for the aims
which have been committed by the hu-
man race during the lapse Of ages inter-
vening since the earth first became the
hsbitation Of man. And great ss the
magnitude and volume Of the sins, will
be the sacrifice required for repsrStion.
Such is the decree of natures immutsble
laws. The signs OF the times are porten-
tous Of evil. Our once prosperous and
happy country is continually disturbed
by the antRgonism Of capital and labor. A
strike for higher wages by the miners Of
the various coal regions, Of greater mag
nitude than we have ever before had 10
sgitating the country from center to cir
Cumference. The mines in the silver
producing states in the West are closed
as the result Of adverse and ruinous
silver legislation; business ia stagnRted
and thousands Of willing workers are
out Of employment. Hordes Of tramps
infest the large cities, and their numbers
are hourly on the increase. The rail-
rcads, the established highways Of the
nation, no longer being able to pay the
interest on their bonded indebtedness,
are now in the hands Of receivers. Bank
and business failures are OF continued
and frequent occurrence. A widespread
and fearful depression OF business has
settled down upon Is. The unemployed
thousands who no longer have the means
to supply the nscassaries Of life are join
ing the ranks of the army Of the COM
monwesl to march to the national Capi-
tai for the purpose Of demanding such
re-RdjustmentEof conditions as will re-
vive business and furnish employment
for the idle that they no longer need be
dependent upon charity. The great
middle class are in full accord with the
movement of their less fortunate breth-
rem, and are feeding the army "a it con-
tlnues it's weary march. The loyal heart
of the nation is beating time to its
tread.
The anxious query goes out from the
soul of every loyal son and daughter Of
America, what will the outcome beS
Will the lawmakers, whose power has
been delegated to them by the people,
listen to their demands for relief from
enforced idleness? Or will they stand
between them and justice rather than
disregard the interests Of their pluto
cratic masters in Wall street? From
present indications they seem to be
blind to the significance and Importance
Of this great movement; they appear to
regard it as an uprising Of lawless and
dangerous element, and Notwithstanding
it is known to be composed largely Of
representative men from the ranks OF
labor, declaring themselves to be peace

deRenseless to the nations capital as Pc

Good Tea and Bad Tea.

Shortly before one Christmas tho holi- day shoppers in large city grocery wit messed a little transaction which set them thinking.
 A sleigh came jingling up to the door, drawn by pair of handsome horses, and with coachman and footman on the box A lady buried in warm furs was handed out and entered the store, humming with Christmas activity.
 Going to tho tea counter, she called for pound of cheap tea. The clerk looked up doubtfully, as if to ask whether he had understood her correctly.
 It's for poor person in the country, ," the lady answered. "She would never mo- tice any difference
 Hardly had the littlo parcel been tied when rather shabbily dressed man, with his coat collar up and his hands blue with cold, stepped up to the samo clerk.
 II want a pound of the best tea in this establishment, he said. Its for 0 poor thing down in the country. She probably never tasted anything real nice in all her life, but want her to have some this Christmas.
 Tho clerk said nothing as he dived int, the tea canister, and the woman said noth- ing as she passed out of tho door, but it is to be hoped that the unoonsciously given lesson took effect.-Youth's Companion.

 "Policemen sometimes get the credit of making a clever capture, when, if the truth was only known, the capture is the result of pure blind luck" said H. L. De Witt of Philadelphia. 1T used to be on tho police force myself, and I had one or two just such experiences. I remember one instance very distinctly when I was complimented by my captain for my prow- ess in capturing thief, where had it not been that tho man actually threw his plum der on me while l was asleep, thereby waking me up, never would have known that anything was wrong. The beat I walked at that time was on tho outskirts of tho city, and there had been good many complaints entered by the residents in that locality that their chickens were being stolen. 1 had tried to catch tho thief but had so far been unsuccessful One night, feeling pretty tired, walked around to the rear of house and seated myself on a log that rested against tho back yard fence
 ''As l said before, was pretty tired and had not been seated there long before fell fast asleep. had not been asleep very long before I was awakened by heavy Uuuuie lttifluS OH ulc, itiltt StdfUlHg up was good deal startled at first at hearing a scrambling noise on the fence top right above me, and the next minute a big negro appeared on tho top, and without even taking a look below him dropped virtually into my arms. A more surprised man than he when he discovered me you never saw. at once placed him under arrest, and picking up the bundle that had so rudely broken my slumbers found it to be sack filled with chickens, which tho negro had just stolen. He had wrung their necks, placed them in tho bag and then throw it over tho fence, intending to got it when he climbed over himself I took him to the station, and he, thinkingI knew all about him and had been watch ing him, made clean breast of the mat ter and confessed that he had been the one who had committed all the former depre- dations. 1 of course made good case against him and got good deal of credit for my smooth detective work, which I bore with becoming meekness.

Controlling Steam.

A differential spring governor for steam engines is among the recent mechanical inventions of note, the device possessing the advantage of being applicable either to control valve by which steam is admit ted to tho engine valve chambers, or to di- rectly actuate the cutoff mechanism of any customary type of valve. In it's con struotion there is a fulcrum lever, one arm of which connects the device with the valve or cutoff stem, and the other with a collar sliding upon the governor spindle. The governor balls, or weights, have short arms connecting with bar fixed to and rotating with tho spindle, and other arms extend outwardly on the opposite side connecting with tho bar which is slidable upon tho spindle and which actuatos the movable collar. The angles formed by the levers-which extend out from the oppo- site side of the balls or weights-are in- ternal angles, so that, as the balls are thrown outward, these balls are brought more nearly into straight line with each other. A compression spring acts to re- turn the parts when the centrifugal force is reduced York Sun.

E. H. Cook, A. M, Ph. D., ex. head master of the Rutgers college preparatory school, New Brunswick, N. J., and presi- dent of the National Educational associa- tion, graduated at Bowdoin in 1886. He organized the West Chester, Penn, State Normal school, and was the first principal; 1; was principal of the Columbus, O., High school. From 1884 to 1889 he was principal of the normal school at Potsdam, N. Y., spending $50, GOO in the erection of new buildings and renovation of old.
 Says the Journal of Education: MT. Cook is widely known and highly appreciated for the genuine boom that every institution with which he has beer connected has en- joyed, and from the prominence given him by the state associations of Ohio, New York and New Jersey. He has the tact to take advantage of circumstances, the ability to decide promptly and the energy to execute. He has accomplished enough to satisfy any man s professional ambition, and yet the best work aud highest honors ought to be ahead of him.
