At the General Meeting at New York
Richard w. Meade and George w.
Dickie Have Ideas.

New York. Nov. 16.-Thr second
meeting of the Society of Naval Archi-
tects and Marine Engineers was held

Meade, rear admiral of the United
States navy, said, in the course of his
paper, IF | hpd my way not Il single
cruiser should be added to the navy
until At least tW'aty battlcShips, 100
torpedo beats and Il number of rams
were ready for service. The vessels
least satisfactory to practical men in
our profession are the Columbia, Min
ncapoliss, Detroit; and Cincinnati.
The Majestic and reutonic can laugh

Admiral Meade called attention to
the present war between Japan and
China, pointing out the fact that
China with fine fleet and incompe-
tent personnel, was defeated by Jap
anese with an inferior fleet but win
Il trained personnel. III said If we
are to have Il policy, let us have one,
for heavens sake. that will outlast the
brief space OF II presidential term.
George w. Dickie, of San Francisco.
said: "In order that the United States
MAY participate in ocean commerce to
the extent that her own imports and
exports entitle her to, there must be
patriotic ambition throughout the
country to carry the products of our
industry under our own flag. Let wise
national laws protect and foster our
merchant marine. Let state and mu-
nicipal laws on the part of sea-girted
states and marine cities encourage
! ship building and ship-owning within
their borders. How remarkable Is the
contrast between the intense loyalty
of the English to the maritime inter
eStS of their country and the hopeless
apathy prevailing amongst us even III

WHEN CHARACTER IS MADE.

Youth is the period of life when char
acter is made. Many young men delude
themselves with the idea, that the evil
life they are now leading is but tenn
porary matter, and that when the time
comes to sober down, they will be able
to cast off the vicious habits, which
they have formed. with scarcely more
trouble than in casting off their soiled
clothing. That is a grand mistake.
You cannot do an evil act, or think an
impure thought without being the
worse all your life for having done so.
But, even if it were not so, if it were
not true that every evil thought and
act, has a permanent, lasting effect, it
is true that a habit, be it good or bad,
once formed cannot be cast off as easily
as soiled linen. Not one man in thou
sand has sufficient will power to break
himself of habit when once it is
formed. "The law of harvest is to reap
more than you SOW. Sow an act and
you reap habit; SOW habit and you
reap character; sow character and
you reap destiny"
And, as someone else has said, if you
SOW nothing but wild oats in your
youth, you will reap nothing but tares
in your old age.-Industrial School Gem.

secretly combine, strike and endanger
the lives and property, of the company,
call it conspiracy; but when Carnagie,
Frick and Co., secretly connive with
officials to palm onto the government,
for steel plate, the basest pot metal,
thus endangering the lives of millions
and the very life of the nation, call
that conspiracy at least. When a poor
man steals five dollars, call it larceny,
when rich man steals a railroad, man
ufacturing plant, or takes money out
of the city treasury, call that larceny
too. When poor man raises a note
from five to fifty dollars, call it forgery,
and when politicians pile up votes in
"blocks of five" to carry elections, call
it forgery too. Mete out justice even
handed. Deny it as we may, the laws
are too often executed in favor Of tho
rich as against the poor. Let the pub
lie press treat them fairly certainly the
labor organizations are not always and
altogether to blame. Certainly cap
italists are not all Gods own elect
saints. Let them condemn the meth
ods of labOring men, but let them notice
their grievances too. The newspaper
men have one of the grandeSt OppOrtu
mites this century has set before any
body of men. The opportunity of be-
ing arbitrator between capital and labor;
they have the whole nation for auditors.
Their words are spoken in the remOtest
corners. To them is given the supreme
privilege of standing as daysman be-
twixt the rich and poor, restraining the
one and helping the other. And lastly,
let the church realize, that for her too,
here is a field white for the harvest.
He whom she claims as her Lord and
Master, was himself labOring man,
labor agitatOr, disturber OF the peace
Of society, because of the oppression OF
the poor. In short. let the working
men have simple justice. They are
they are not band of free hooters, or
lawless vagabonds. They are the
very bone and sinew of the nation;
they are the men who, in 1861 flew to
arms at their country's call. And if to-
day the tOcsin of war should sound,
they are the men who again would
! buckle on the armor. Your shops
would be deserted, your locomotives
would stand idle, your switches un-
turned, your commerce unmOved, not
in wage strike, but in a strike for
> home and flag and country, They are
not traitors; they would give their last
drop of blood for their country, and
make her flag their winding sheet. But
beware, lest this deaf ear to their cry,
: this neglect, this constant encroach-
! ment, this unjust and brutal abuse,
= drives them to desperation; turns them
away from the very nation they love:
s Beware lest that flag, the emblem of
: justice and right and liberty, come to
/ be, to them, the emblem of violated
= faith, of wrong and oppression. Re-
member, that no nations doom is SO
r certain and sudden as that nation from
q whom has been alienated the affection
r of the great body of citizens-the labor
in classes.

HONEST LABOR.

Whom do we call our heroes? To whom our
praises sing?
The pampered child of fortune? The titled Lord
or King?
They live BY others labors, take all and nothing,
give,
The noblest type of manhood is he who works to
live,
IT'S toll that over nature gives man his proud
control:
1t purifles it hallowS the temple of the soul;
1t scatters foul diseases thrO' all their ghastly
train,
Puts iron in the muscles and crystals in the
brain,
The Great Almighty builder who fashioned out
this earth,
Has stamped his seal of honor on labor from
her birth.
IN eyery angel flower that blossoms from the
sod,
Behold the Master touches. the handwOrk OF
God. Selected.

was no King in Israel; every man did that which
was right in his own eyes,
Rev. J. H. Albert, pastor of Grace
Congregational church, of this city, and
Protestant chaplain of this institution
delivered on the evening of July 9Th to
large and appreciative congregation,
at his church in this city, the following
vigorous sermon. Speaking from the
text above quoted, Rev. Albert said:
81 wish to present to you this even
ing some thoughts on anarchy. OF
course it would be impossible, in the
short time allotted me, to treat the sub
ject with any degree of fullness, still if
you will pardon some wide gaps and
abrupt turns, l think l can make my
self understood.
Anarchy is, roughly speaking, of two
kinds, organized and unorganized.
Again, anarchy is to be distinguished
from socialism. The beginning of
socialism in this country may be
placed about the year 1S48. These
posed mostly of Germans. The So
ciety was called Turvereine. These
early socialists were active in politics.
They were abolltionists; they affiliated
first with the free soil party, afterwards
with the new republican party. When
the civil war broke out, they were
among the first to respond to Lincoln's
call for troops. Some societies sent more
than half their number. 1t is estimated
that from forty to fifty per cent of al
these socialists, capable of bearing
arms, took part in The war. Among
these was Gen. Franz Siegel. Indeed tht
war for a time almost paralyzed th'
movement. After the close of the wa

tosocialism. The organization was bro
ken into three parties; the Information

International Workman's Association
and the Socialistic Labor Party. Thes
are known by their initials and by thei
chosen color. The [. w. P. A. are tn
Reds; the 1. w. A. the Blacks and tn
S. L. P. the Blues.
The socialistic labor party is nc
anarchical, it is in fact the direct oppt
site. They believe in the state:and th
general social organization. But the
believe also, that our present socis
organization is wrong, or rather tha

There are number of individuals
in this city to whom we commend
the following statement of facts as to
newspaper men receiving what they
call ''free passes:
One OF the beauties and charms Of
an editors life is deading it on all
occasions. No one who has never
feasted on the sweets of that business
can begin to take in the glory of its
happiness. He does s1oo worth of
advertising for railroad, gets pass
for year, rides SIS worth and then
he is looked upon as dead head or
half-bloom dead-beat. He puffs
a concert troupe SIS worth and gets
ST. in complimentaries and is thus
passed free. If the hall is corwded
he is begrudged the room he
occupies; if his complimentarie.
were paying tickets the troupe would
be so much in pocket. He blows
and puffs church festival free to any
desired extent, and does the poster
printing at half rates and rarely get:
a thank you for it. 1t goes as part oI
his duty as an editor. He does more
work gratuitously for the town ant
community than all the rest of the
population put together, and get:
cursed for it all; while in many in

A pleasant call.

Will A. Coulter, one of Mr..
Houk's supporters from the I4th and
also a man who has mind broad
enough to not heed the baby advice
of the Leader to not take his county
paper because it does not agree with
him IN everything, was in town last
week with his eldest son and gave the
TINES pleasant call. He says there
are very few changes either way on
congressional matters In his district,
but thinks Houk will get more votes
than he did in the primary.
