Mrs Cummings would have enjoyed
her evening at the parsonage, if her
husband had not glared so severely at
her new bonnet.

"But they're mended, father-and

''Humph!" was all the reply he
vouchsafed.

a thresdbare black suit, received his
guests in truly Christian spirit of
resignation.

WOLF SON.

Last June Dick Crawford
brought his twelve-months-old
child, suffering from infantile
diarrh9a, to me. 1t had been
weaned at four months old and
had always been sickly. l gave it
the usual treatment in such cases
but without benefit. The child
kept growing thinner until it
weighed but little more than when
born, or perhaps ten pounds. /
then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. Before one
bottle of the 25-cent size had been
used marked improvement was
seen and it's continued use cured
the child. Its weakness and puny
constitution disappeared and its
father and myself believe the
child's life was saved by this Rem

The most dangerous element in a
free country is the military spirit.
War at the best is an intensified hell.
No nation should encourage the war
spirit among its people. Preparation
for war often precipitates a war. Had
the southern states not fostered the
military spirit, it is safe to say they
would not likely have plunged the ma
tion into an internecine war. Peace is
cheap. 1t costs neither blood nor
treaSure-at least no blood, and no ex-
traordinary outlay of treasure. Every
thing that tends toward war should be
discouraged. At present a military
spirit dominates nearly every class of
society. Those who profess to love
God and follow the teachings of the
Nazarene have gone wild on military
training. All our higher institutions
Of learning subordinate those things
which elevate, refine and enlightez to
those which degrade and develop all
the baSer passions. These reflections
were suggested by reading the last an
nual report of Gen. Schofeld to the
secretary of war. He recommends an
increase Of the army and navy. and in
creased appropriations for fortifca-
tons and arms so that we NAV
be prepared for an invasion from
foreign powers. Gen. Schoaeld
does not earn his living by
fhe sweat of his face to direct the
movements of an organization that has
done little else since the last shot at
Appemattox than trench upon the lib
critics of the people and eat out their
substance. He draws prineely sal
airy and gives no thought of from
whence it comes or through what
channel it is procured. The average
reader would suppose that. from his
expressed fears, he regards the normal
condition of this people as one of war;
that they should not relax their dill
gence, but enlarge their paraphernalia
Of war and equipments for the field
and hospital. Were it not for Ito coin

the bloodthirsty professed followers
OF Christ, he would be slow to suggest
his devilish sch ne. He suggests it
through professed interest in the
country. War is not to the interest of
the wage-workers of any nation. Pre-
paration for war is not to their in

expenditure of money for the purpose

Debs on Strikes.

"As a general proposition am op-
posed to strikes Now and then. how
ever, the choice is between the strike
and degradation, and when that time
comes | am always in favor of strike.
There is not a star nor a stripe in
this glorious American flag that was
not born to strike. At Lexington,
where the shot was fired that was heard
all over the world; at Concord down to
Yorktown, it was one continuous sue
eession Of strikes against tyranny and
oppression and for liberty and indie
pendence.
There has been no reduction of
wages on any railroad system in the
United States since the great strike,
although they came regularly at in
tervals of week or two before it.
But for the unjust interference of
the Federal courts one of the greatest
triumphs oflabor would have followed
the Pullman strike. l have no obiec
ton to the use of the military to pre-
serve law aud order. But why is this
military always called to aid capital?
Is capital always right and labor al
ways wrong? The judicial system Of
this country is adjusted so as to catch
minnows and let whales go through.
Now the interstate commerce law is
persistently violated.
Labor has begun to think and will
soon act. 1t will no longer supplicate
for its rights, but will take them bold
ly. Not in lawlessnesS or in violence:
but in lawful and orderly manner at
the ballot box will it take them.
THE time is not far distant when
there will be another and greater
strike-that of labor at the ballot box.
Il have reached that point where l
believe that it is absolutely necessary
to totally abolish the wage system.
The time is fast coming when the wage
system will melt and flow into the CO.
operative system. Every man is en-
titled to all that he produces with his
brain or hands. Now the laborer gets
only As per cent of his production.
Why not all? Why should he work to
keep another man in idleness?"

Much of the boarding of money out
of productive use would be done away
with if government securities could be
done away with if government securi
ties could be bought by small invest
ors. Long time bonds of small demon
nations would serve the American
people as place for small savings
performing much the same function.
as postal savings banks. In France
and England such bonds are quickly
taken up, and doubtless would be
here.
1t is the people who pay the Interest
on the bonds. The 100000 in golG
which will annually flow into the
Golfers of banks and great financial
institutions at home and abroad as the
result of the Cleveland loan of 500, OOO,.
600 will be wrung from the toll and the
sweat and the poverty of the producing
classes. Surely it were better thai
some part of it should be repaid to the
thrifty among those classes.
But better even than this it it would
be if there were no bonds to be issued
at all. A national debt has been held
to be national blessing-and so it is
to the fellows who hold the evidences
of it and receive the interest. But to
those who must be taxed to meet the
annual drain it is a curse. Chicago
