Mr.. Councilmen, do you think that is

hobo or anarchist. You are noble, law
abiding citizens, obeying laws OF your
own make. Mr.. Councilmen, in regard
to the condition OF affairs now, the In

men to work on First-street hill, this
will OF course in your minds relieve ths
great amount of suffering in
our land. What noble idea
Suppose you could calm mile square OF

would that prevent the mighty wave

Your great and noble minds lead you
to believe that you could arrest the
leaders OF the army and the army would
disband. Try it, and you will see this

that produced them are lost sight Of.
Hence the difficulty in dealing with the
ilis OF humanity, physical and moral.
Temperance people see the effects OF
liquor and try to deal with it from that
standpoint by legislation, forgetting that
the cause can only be eliminated by
education, not only OF the mental but OF
the physical. So this (presumably)
young woman forgets that both OF our
great national parties, while tinkering
with gold and the tariff, lose sight OF
the fact that for the millions OF idle men
roaming the country, there is no legisla-
ton. Young woman, educate your male
friends to vote properly, then you will
not have the spectacle Of so many idle
men to offend your womanlY sensibili-
ties. When men can vote In "a states
without assuming the rights of citizen
ship, is it any wonder that our legisla-
ton is faulty and that our lawmakers
are dirilect in dealing with emigration
and naturalization With our ports
open for the entrance of unlimited num-
bsrs of foreigners, is it any wonder that
there is an army of unemployed And
as sure as day follows night, so sure will
those causes produce bloodshed. L
doubt If there is senator or congress-
man in Washington who dares to intro
duce bill to deal directly With these
questions. So, Bertha Myrick, while
allowing your ympathies 10 GO out to
these unemployed, use your talents and
influence to eliminate the causes.

Grandma Nrax,s snx.

Grandma Wray of Fairbury, Ills, who
has just celebrated her one hundred and
second birthday, says: 81 hear people
talking of hard times now. Why, if
those who are indulging in that kind of
talk should see half as hard times as I
have experienced in my life the insane
asylums would have to be established in
every county and would be enlarged to
hold the crowd. Many times have l
taken the ak and gone with my brothers
and sisters to the hills of Virginia and
cut wood. We girls used to cut just as
much wood as the boys. We would
swing the axes with every bit as much
vim as they. Where is there girl of IS
years nowadays that will do work like
that? Many times have taken hired
mans place in the field with hoe, cul-
tivating tHhacco. corn and even cotton"

The accident reported recently to one

signing important state papers, using,

the ruler on whose dominion the sun
hever sets tried in vain to get them to ba
off. At last they proposed a bargain.
"Gran," they said, "give US each one Of
those lovely, feathery pens"
The price was considered low for the
service, and it was quickly paid, and
peace and Victoria reigned together for
the rest of the morning.

Washington, then we know whore to
look for relief. The same power that
created thom muat remove them; and If
this ie not done time will bring revo-
luton, with all its horrors, as q natural
sequence. Why is history written ii not
that future generations may profit by
the mistakes of the past? Andyet all
governments ignore or view with un-
Germ the same cayses that have de-
stroyed the proudest nations, and del
uged the world with blood times with
out number. Nothing ever produced a
revolution, or ever will, except unjust
and oppressive laws; and that nation
which ignores Justice and equity among
all it's people is as sure To meet destruc-
ton and downfall as sunset is to bring
darkness.
No greater danger ever menaced any
nation than millions OF men in state
of enforced idieness; and we have not
only that, but millions of men in whose
breasts there throbe large and growing
discomfort because of the way they
are robbed when they do labor, by un-
just and inequitable laws. Said Thomas
Jefferson: "You can legislate adversely
or prosperity upon yourselves" and
those who think and reason from cause
to effect know this to be true.
We are afflicted today with edversity
in every spot and place beneath our flag,
and nothing has produced il except leg
islation. So, repeat, II legislation does
not remove it, blind, brute force will be
compelled to make the attempt in the
near future.
Therefore, let the city aid these men
in their efforts to reach Washington, for
such O move is imperatively necessary,
and will produce quicker and more ben
efciRl Legislation than anything else
that can be named. To give the leaders
work 30 as to break up the movement,
as our district attorney has suggested,
is not wise suggestion and might not
have the result anticipated. Let them
have the aid they desire and satisfactory
results must follow. Yours truly,

strength of the army will thus become

1t is proposed to make the necessary in

of the quartermasters, pay and subsist-

for the independent continuance of these
departments is their separate existence in
