cludes a considerable quantity Of

ening and is just what is needed for
the women and children. The "Wo-
mans Club" is now widely known on
the West side and will doubtless be
adopted as n model for the establish
ment of similar charities in those
parts Of the city where the distress is
greatest. Thus far, the entire burden
Of its support has fallen on Mr.. Mer-
ritt.
1T is not a charity alone, but
club" exclaimed Mr.. Merritt good
humoredly, "They come here, the
men in the morning and the women
in the afternoon, just as the well-to-
do folks 60 to their big clubs uptown
and where would they eat il not at
their own club2 II they chose to take

all fellow human beings, and can
not SIT and see their sufferings unre-
lieved while I have the power to help
it. have never known a season
when there was SO much distress in
New York as now, and it is growing
worse. It is now the sober, lndustri-
Gus, intelligent class who are suffer
ing. Behind these crowds who come
here daily to be fed at the Eighth
Avenue Mission, there is another and
far vaster crowd that must inevitably
swell their ranks. IL we can feed
them at two and half cents meal,
as / have demonstrated, and help
them TO tide over their troubles tenn
porarily and to avert actual starva-
ton, lot us do it, in His name"
The work begun by Mr. Merritt has
opened up an appalling vista of hui
man wretchedness and suffering, and
has extended far beyond the power Of
its founder to supply its needs. Be.
lievlng that a work 80 slgnally de.
serving should not be permitted to
suffer for the lack Of proper support,
Dr. Klopsch, the proprietor of the
Christian Herald. has undertaken TO
render such aid as is needed to re-
lieve the most urgent cases OF desti-
tuition in the homes OF Christian fam
lilies. 1t is proposed to search out,
with the aid Of experienced district
visitors, such households as belong to
Goods poor" but which are now tenn
porarily afflicted In one such home
that was visited, the only carpet--a
cheap ingrain-had been torn up and
sold to procure food and fuel enough
to last a few days, and in another,
desperate mother had sold her wooden
under-garment that she might buy
bread for her children.

Harness of Our Own Make.
The Friend of the Homeless.

The sufferings of the destitute I'M
employed" Lewelllng's friends" as
our republican brethren are pleased
to call them-in the large cities of
the past is simply appalling. Why
an intelligent and generous American
public continues to support a compet-
tive system that inevitably leads to
such abject misery is one of the curl
osities Of history. When the 1776
representatives of the peoples party
met on the nations birthday in 1892
and so accurately foretold the dire
circumstances il which the country is
now plunged, a jeer Of derision and
denial went up all over the United
States. To-day the whole world sees
that prophecy fulfilled, and the jeers
of the politicians are drowned in the
louder cry for bread from the toiling
millions. Below we give an extract
from the Christian Herald, New
York, (Dr. Talmadge's paper de-
scribing the state of affairs in that
city and the noble efforts of a Chris
tan hero to alleviate the suffering
brought on by the damnable policy of
currency contraction, coupled with
the fierce struggle constantly attend
ant OH our competitive system Of So
ciety:-
Many readers Of The Christian
Herald will remember the publication
year ago of the history Of "The
Traveler3 Club" which had then
been rece ntly founded by Mr.. Mer-
rift, and which was an outgrowth of
of his Zig nth Avenue Mission in New
York City. A long experience in
philenthro pic work had brought the
veteran preacher into contact with
suffering humanity in every stage and
degree of retchedness and destitu-
ton. He he'd been made especially
to feel for the thousands of homeless
unemployed in our larger cities, who
were drifting about like waits on the
great ocean of misery and want, with
none to help At different times, he
had been chose1 as the instrument
under Providence, Of uplifting and
restoring many of these down-trodden
and helpless souls to new manhood,
and of leading them to Him in whose
hands is fulness of blessing, here and
hereafter. 1.-THE Travellers Club" at
the outset, was composed of the poor.

who assembled in the

with a wholesome and abundant meal
of meat, bread and fragrant coffee.

Where Their Grievance Lies.
THE SITUATION SUMMARIZED.

Eight Companies of Regulars Ready to
Assist the Aiarslials.
So here is the way matters now stand:
Four companies of regulars at Fort Shell
ing are under arms prepared to march to
the assistance of the United States mar
shals i'll Minnesota and North Dakota tn
maintain the peace and protect the prop
erty of the railway. four other companies
are under orders to start for Grand Forks
and all four of the brotherhoods are
committed TO the side of the road bv
means Of advanced wages; consequently
the American Railway Union leaders il,
their big strike on the immense system of
that road feel somewhat uncertain of re-
suits.
A proposition made by the commercial
bodies of the two cities has been generally
discussed. 1t was for submission of the
question at issue to five arbitrators. The
A. Il. L. held meeting and was urged bv
prominent citizens to accept, but the suc
gestion was fairly hooted down. At the
same hour of the day that in another mart
of the city President Hill was telling Soma
business men he would agree to apy fair
proposition for arbitration on the sole con
dition that the men resume work at once.
this same proposal was being Missed by the
strikers and their friends at the Labor
hall meeting. Hill explained that he
could not fight ami arbitrate both at the
same time.
President Debs privately said he was in
favor of the scheme proposed by tie COM
mercial bodies, but when he addressed the
Labor hall mass meeting he spoke as the
mouthpiece Of u committee whose MAORI
ty is against him and very radical After
this announcement and the formal re-
lection of the arbitration by the mass
meeting, today the company expects to
start the usual trains on schedule time
| and it will become clear whether the men
will stay by the union and go out, or ac-
cept the company's offers to the brother
hoods. The brotherhood engineers in the
Great Northern met to discuss the stua-
ton and stand where they have all along.
They will resume work at once.
At Fargo the local members of the
union have a scheme they think will offset
the late move by Hill. At the least they
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-04-30

believe it will cost the Great Northern
some money. They claim to have positive
evidence that the company sent out trains
having neither mail nor mail agent aboard
though mail cars were attached to either
end of trains and they were manned by
United States deputy marshals. In such
a case they think that the bill for United
States marshals will have to be paid by
the company instead of the government,
and To secure this end they propose to
have Representative johnson object TO the
payment of the deputies employed on the
road during the strike.
