fusillade upon the trenches.
Cheer after cheer arose from the camp
when Dodge's troop rode out in the plain
and stopped to reconnoiter the Indian po-
sition. The main force of Utes lay upon
a hill, with its sides almost perpendicular,
where a charge would have been a reckless
waste of life and Dodge reluctantly turned
! the heads of his horses back toward the
! camp of his beleaguered comrades.

Lawson's retreat to the wagons, where
Payne's men had united with PaddOck's
ID company and formed the strongest body
on the ground. If Lawson could get his
men back, a massacre might be avoided.
Cherry once more saved the day by fighting
heroically against enormous odds. Two of
his men fell dead, and several were wound
ed, but he held his ground until Lawson's
company was safe and then retreated, carry
ing his dead and wounded off the field. The
movement, however, cost the life of the
gallant leader Thornburgh.
When Cherry's little band encounterek
the Indians on the last advance and Law

Thorn burgh set out to cross the space be-

to the front, so as to be near Cherry in case

Captain Payne took command in place of
Thornburgh. The soldiers all united at the
wagons, and strong corral was formed
about 200 yards from the river bank. The
wagons We're dismantled and the boxes
with all their contents piled up for breast
works. About 20 horses which had been
wounded and disabled in the fight, were
led out some distance from the parapet and
shot dead to form cover for the skirmishers.

A foreshadowing affecting its subject as
with foretaste of death was that recorded
by Charles Mackay of his friend, Mr.. In
gram, founder of the London illustrated
News, Travelling together in Switzerland,
the two were witnesses one night in Cha
mounix of one of the thunderstorms that
rage with such appalling grandeur amid
those mountainous regions. Mackay's rap
lures over the scene were checked by see
ing his friend crouched in a corner on the
floor, his face pale, his hair on end with
terror. The paroXysm was succeeded by
Inconsistencies, on recovering from which
he told Mackay how, ever since he could
remember be had been possessed of this
unnccountable and utterly uncomfortable
horror Of thunderstorm.
Some eight years later Mr.. Ingram was
crossing Lake Michigan when the steamer
was run into by sailing vessel, and amid
scene of terror and confusion, it being
night and violent thunderstorm raging,
crew and passengers were precipitated into
the waters As 1t was five hours before In
grams body, still warm with recent life,
was washed ashore, he must have been
struggling all that time-an eternity Of

The odor of liver and bacon permeated

He would have expostulated, but she

The best of these which come nearest TO

petition secures economy and efficiency.
But the Federal Government invites no
competition as to plans. 1t may sink
large sums by reason of detective plans
and Incompetent supervision. There Is no
good reason why the Government Win
unlimited credit and money always on
hand, should not have every advantage
that corporations and private citizens pos
sess. AS long as the complaints originated
with citizens who were not architects no
official attention was given to adverse
opinions. But now that the most infiuen-
tal society of architects and one having
national character has taken hold OF tue
matter, official snubs will only provoke
more exhaustive investigation. The first
part of the exhibit supports the original
statement of the architects that the Gov
eminent is wasting money on public edl-
fees because it does not secure as compe-
tent service as private citizens secure by
open competition.

THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER

The question is often asked if the So
called Industrial Army can expect to ac-
complish anything by march upon Wash
ington. The answer involves two consid-
erations. If by anything" is meant the
enactment of such laws as they propose
tue reply would be clearly in the negative.
But if by anything" is meant restraint
upon the policy of coddling to the rich
and crushing the poor the reply will be as
clearly in the affirmative. The move
ment is simply a physical as we'll as
mental protest against measures which
lead to diminution of Industries and the
reduction in the rate of wages. 1t may
not be aimed especially against the advo-
Gates of free trade, or the advocates of the
slngle-gold standard, or the advocates of
Chinese immigration, but against any and
all measures which tend to deprive labor
of lis fair share of the products of the
joint use of labor and capital. The only
convincing argument that can be ad-
dressed to greed is the demonstration of
the fact that there is a point at which
greed becomes improbable. That is the
lesson of the Industrial Army movement
1t is to convince men who make our laws
that in free country it is wise to deal
fairly with labor. Those who have some
thing 10 the end have to bear the cost of
feeding those who have nothing and can
earn nothing, and the cheapest and most
wholesome way of doing work that can
not be snirked is to pay labor enough to
enable it to care for itself.

FOR BETTER MORALS.

When an organization is formed to i'm
prove the morals OF people. It's purpose
also includes the creating IF conditions
which render better morals possible. Ii
is of little use to talk good morals to peo-
pie who ara lacking in all the comforts of
life. First, The conditions under which
they live must be improved to such an
extent that nature will not be continually
suggesting that its necessities be supplied
By fracture of moral laws. The move
ment now under way to concentrate the
moral forces against especial and grievoas
evil practices has fixed upon the tenement
hou sc system as one Of the sore spots OF
modern civilization. Within the eight
walls of two dingy rooms families eat,
sleep and work. By denying themselves
all the comforts of life they can produce
goods little cheaper than the same quail
ity of goods can be made for in factories.
They save one rent and work longer hours.
The manufacturer who provides comfort
able workshops and limits working hours
in accordance to law or custom finds that
be is undersold in the market. To save
trade he reduces wages or gives his work
to the sweatshop. 1t is little oGd that

system are being exposed in pulpits and
newspapers, the Postmaster General of
the United States should urge upon his
employees contract for clothes which re-
duces the cost of a suit by 25 per cent. In
a branch of business in which there Is
active competition such reduction can
only be made by leaving the contractor
free TO get his work done at the lowest pos
sible cost. The lowest possible cost means
the sweatshop. There through excessive
work and scant fare life wears itself out
in few years. The employees do not gel
living wages. and by the operation of nat
ural laws die before their natural time.
But the work goes on all the same. There
is always live one to take dead ones
place. 1t is bad enough for individual
greed to work out such results without
having a member of great and rich gov
eminent join in the unholy traffic in hu-
man bodies and souls. Bisselps PROPOSE
ton is in line with the Democratic fad for
cheap things. When statisticians make
close calculations upon the lowest possible
wages upon which life can ba sustained
they aid to fix standard that tapers off in

THE LION IN THE WAY.

One Of the things that are not easy to
find out is the reason why the Nicaragua
canal enterprise lnnguishes. Everybody
is in favor of it. Both parties have de-
clared for it. All sections of the country
want it. There is a peanut statesman in
Minnesota who seems to be afraid that
the United States could not bold the
canal if we should build it. but the range
Of his influence is not wide. The great
mass of the American people think we
might put ourselves in condition to hold
it, and to hold the Hawaiian Islands,
also. But no progress is made toward the
construction Of the canal. One Senator
proposes a bill which another Senator
picks flaws in. A good many Senators
apparently do not want the canal built
unless it can be done just in their way.
1t is quite evident that there is lion in the
path whom but few see. This lion, what
ever may be its name. is too wise to show
its teeth 1t seems to have considerable
faculty, however. in the way of confusing
counsels If it were settled that the Gov
eminent would take existing lines of
transcont influential railroads off the owners
hands at an agreed valuation, the chances
are that the lion would disappear. There
would no longer be great corporate inter-
ests for it to guard.

PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ARCHI-
lecture.

Some good will pro bably result from the
controversy which began some time ago
about the architecture and cost of public
buildings. The American Architect for
April contains an interesting article giving
a comparison of results of Government
and private architects. The cost Of struc-
ture, the time consumed in building and
the structures themselves show that pri-
vate competition in architecture has Sc
cured by far the best results. There has
been waste OF public money right along.
The Government has been paying more for
its buildings than any corporation or any
citizen. Secretary Carlisle snubbed the
Society of American Architects when they
asked that designs for public buildings
should be open to private competition.
But the matter did not end there. Now
the architects have proceeded to investi-
gate further the methods of the GOVERN
ment in the construction of public edifices.
When all the facts are laid before the pub
lie the basis will be furnished for radical
change.
When corporation or citizen is about
to erect costly structure plans are in

AT EiGHTY-FOUR.

Senator Morrell of Vermont has just
celebrated his eighty-fourth birthday. His
political career has been as smooth as the
current eff his life. He served twelve
years 10 the House of Represen tatives,
and was then elected to the Senate. He
has been reelected four times. and at the
expiration of his present term in 1897 will
have served thirty years in that body,
making forty-two years in Congress. Sen
ator MOrrell did not take into public life
much of the quality known as genius, but
a good deal of plain common-sense and
great capacity for work. He represents a
State that INDUCES in no political eccen-
tricities. The only problem involved in a
Vermont election is that of the precise fig
ure of the Republican majority.
