Two desperate train-robbers, at
Deerfeld, near Chicago. murdered one
police-o6icer,on Friday night, wounded
another on Saturday, and were cap
tured only after a hand-to-hand en-
counter, in which they were worsted
when their ammunition had given out,
and they themselves had been peppered
with bullets.

ENGLAND is experiencing the truth
of the saying that "misfortunes never
come singly." For the last two or
three years that country experienced
drought so severe that its agricultural
products were seriously injured. This
year, however, crop conditions seemed
favorable, and the greatest acreage
yield in the world was promised. But
three weeks ago heavy rains set in,and
these have almost entirely ruined the
wheat crop of Great Britain.

On Sunday evening, in absence of
the pastor, Mrs. Baldwin, wife of the
speaker above named took his part in
the Union meeting with the Christian
EndeavOr Association in an address
that elected the closest attention
throughout, to large congregation.
The topical thought was from the
Lords prayer, Our Father who art in
Heaven" the speaker emphasizing the
depth of meaning which is not first ap-
parent As TO its universally, in setting
forth the great idea in the prayer of
the fatherhOOd of God and brotherhood
of man-as applied to all races.
Applying her remarks mainly to
Asia, with the nations of which she
was familiar by residence and travel,
she said no nation could exist without
affecting 10 some way the interests of
another showing that cholera which
has not only scOurged the nations of
Asia and Europe, but also America,
hatched in the idOlatrOus worship of
the Oranges, on whose banks the peO-
ple meet by the hundred thousands
with a total disregard to the laws of
sanitation. Cholera is bred no where
else than in India, and there will be no
reason for its existence when they ac-
cept the Christian religion and are
governed by the laws of Christian
science.
The effect of mission work and the
faith and strong character evinced in
the converts from idolatry, was par
ticulary set forth in the changed lives
of two families which the speaker mar

passed Congress had an appropriation
of $4,000 for Smyrna river. This will
be very advantageous in improving the
navigation of the stream, in giving it a
seven feet depth at low water, 60 feet,
wide. There are shoal places at the
Counselman warehouse, above Roth

down the stream. The needed thing

choose whether he would take the place
Of father Of anew country. Adam Smith,
the English economist, and Benjamin
Franklin, the American philosopher,
thought they had discovered q solution
for the problem of American discomfort
in the representation Of the colonies in
the parliament at London. Hardly any
one but that chief incendisry, Sam
Adams, more than any other man the
author of our nationality, comprehended
the drift Of things. He saw and meant
that America should be free. His clear
eye saw running through all the tangle
Of the mutual rights Of mother country
and colonists that the real colonial right
was to cease to be colony and become
a country. The real right Of Americans
was to cease to be subjects and become
citizens.
In our day we are being buffeted about
in another bsffling complexity OF dis
putes and adjustments. Between those
who employ and those who need employ.
ment, between those who pay wages and
those who receive them, between those
who fix the hours Of labor and those who
work the hours, between those who own
the footstool and those who must have
footing, between the advocates Of this
compromise or that panscos, is our ire
pressible conflict. By the miners Of
Michigan, starving at the mouth OF the
mine while thousand industries stsrVe
for want Of iron; by the millions Of un-
employed from Vienna to London, San
Francisco to Melbourne, while machinery
and forests and fields that would employ
them are kept idle; by the dead chimneys
of the shoe factories and the cloth mills,
closed for "overproduCtion," while mul-
titudes 20 with unshod feet and bodies
Ealf clad; by the tenement house stand
ing up against square miles Of land held
for speculation; by the hundreds OF mil
lions piling up in banks, while the people
can neither produce nor exchange, be-
cause Of the lack Of money; by the differ
ence between the price Of wheat and the
price Of flour; by all panics, riots, over
production and underconsumption, our
present aristocrstic and monarchicSl
government of industry stands selfcon-
fessed failure. Such results are below
the conscience and common sense Of the
people. The pioneers who saw genera
ton ago the thread that would lead us
through this labyrinth and into the free
air have now become multitude. That
thread is the thread Of democracy, whose
principles must and will rule wherever
men co-exist, in industry not less surely
than in politics. 1t 10 by the people who
do the work that the hours Of labor, the
condition Of employ ment, the division
of the produce is to be determined. 1t is
by them the captains Of industry are to
be chosen, and chosen to be servants, not
masters. 1t is for the welfare Of sll that
the co-ordinsted labor of all must be
directed. Industry, like government,
exists only by the cooperation Of all,
and, like government, it must guarantee
equal protection to all. This is democ-
racy, and democracy is not true only
where men Gerry letters and build forts,
but wherever they meet in common
effort.
