Twentx-sexen Cents a Day.

"A commission composed OF Murray
Shipley, chairman, Cincinnati chamber
of commerce.; w. j. Atkins, for Cleve-
lane chamber of commerce.; j.. F. Ogle-
vie, for Columbus chamber of COM
merce; w. H. Porter, for Toledo cham
Der Of commerce, has been investigat-
ing the condition of the coad miners in
the Hooking Valley (Ohio) district and
in a recent report to Gov. Mckinley
declare that the average wages Of these
coal miners is ~ cents 9. day!
Mind You, this does not come from
calamity-howling PopuIists, but from
representatives sent out by the cham
bers of commerce in the leading cities
of Ohio. 1t is not likely that this COM
mission has reported the condition of
the miners any worse than really ex-
lists and, therefore must conclude that
the report is true.
Think of it! Twenty-seven cents a
day! The magnificent sur of $1.62 a
week! A princely income of $84.24 a
year! Support a family on this! Think
Of the luxuries a family can indulge on
an income Of such magnitude!
Seriously, friends, what do you think
of this? Is it not astounding to think
of such conditions being imposed upon
workingmen in free America? We
say imposed, for it is the avarice and
greed of the coal operators that force
these men to work for worse than star
walton wages.
If this was an isolated case some
excuse might be found for it, but labor
all over this country is gradually be-
ing pressed to that point. The cupid
ity of the capitalistic classes on the
one hand and the stupidity of the
masses on the other are making such
conditions possible.
oh, why will not laboring men arouse
from their lethargy and shake off this
incubus of capitalism? Why be slaves
when they can so easily be freemen?
Why do millions drink the bitter dregs
of. poverty, misery, sorrow, and woe
when they only to be men-brave.
courageous men-to throw it all off?
Such conditions are the results of
wrong voting and in no other way can
they be removed except by right yot-
ing. So long as laboring men vote for
candidates and measures suggested by
capitalists so long will labor be in the
tolls, as now.
We have been voted into these anon
alous conditions and the ballot is the
only peaceful remedy to lead the peo-
pie out.

q SCHEME.
what . Great Democratic PaI,sr Say
Of the bond Swindfe.

~ 80
Of the bond swindls.
We presume that the cuckOOs who,
against their own convictions, may feel
themselves compelled to defend Mr..
Cleveland's gold bond scheme, will
claim that II the scheme had been in
dorsed by congress, it would have re-
suited In q saving to the people OF
SIG. 1000, 900 during the next thirty years.
The answer to this is that the whole
ton, was in the nature of a blackmail-
ing operation in the interest of the ele-
ment that is growing rich out of the
increased purchasing power that the
single gold standard is comforting on
the money they are boarding. The
representatives of the people refused to
permit their constituents to be black
mailed, and that is the end Of the mat
ter SO far as this congress is concerned.
The alternative proposed to congress
by Mr.. Cleveland may be very simply
stated. In effect he said: "You gentle
men seem to be opposed to the single
gold standard. Very we'll. If you don't
accept it for at least thirty years. I
propose to levy an additional tax of
SIG, 900 900 on the people that they
would not ave to pay it you would ac-
cept gold recommendation for thirty
years."
That was the ultimatum, and if con-
gross had accepted it, that body would
have gone down to history as the most
Infamous assembly of representatives
h a ever pretended to represent the
people.
To ave SIG, 900, 900 in the course of
thirty years, the peoples representa-
tlves were asked to indorse a scheme
that would have tied the country to
gold recommendation. The country has
already lost untold billions by the op-
erations of this system, and while S16,-
100000 might have been saved by ac-
cepting the Matchmaking conditions
proposed to congress, the people would
have lost billions in the further shrink
age OF values and prices and in the
general depression of business occa-
stoned by making gold the only unit Of
account and measure of value.
The Constitution regrets that there
was even one Georgia congressman
ready to indorse this %scandalous propo-
sition, and, at the anne time, thanks
heaven that there was only one. With
the sole exception of Mr.. Turner the
representatives of the people of Georgia
in congress stood by the interests of
their constituents, and by the prin-
ciples of their party. This fact shows
that all the efforts that have been made
to induce Georgia's representatives to
indorse the financial views of John
Sherman and the republicans, have
been futile.-Atlanta Constitution.

THE GLORY OF GOD.
OSHKOSH. WIS.

Men of science are constantly ap-
pealing to one central force which
animates all things; that which is
dlffused throughout creation, appear
ing in divers forms here and there;
"the coronation of the forces;" the
diffusion of energy, now appearing in
the works of nature, now in the forces
of gravitation, and now among plant
and animal and human life; all MAX
ing up one great force. This is not
the verdict only of religious and sci
entific men, but of poets. Goethe
said it was his great desire, and de-
sire he impressed upon others, reso.
lutelY to live every day in that which
was true, beautiful and universal, in
the thought of one great whole of
which he formed pant and toward
which everything he did contributed.

workingman naturally meet. Each
has his limitations. The inexper-
fenced youth is sometimes more en-
thusiatic than he is wise: and the
workingman is often crude and i'm
practicable. But this, at least is
true, that these two types meet and
know each other and are beginning
to believe in each other. What could
be better for either type than this
mutual understanding and respect?
Workingmen's College.
Lest some reader should think this
statement of relations visionary. I
snail cite one case of such practical
intimacy. Harvard University lies
about a mile from a considerable
working class population; and three
years ago few students of the uni
versity undertook to meet some Young
workingmen scholars of Cambridge
port, and give to them, as scholars
the instruction which they, the stud.
ents, had just received. They trans
mltted, that is to say, the university
courses, the student now becoming
teacher, and handing on the knowl-
edge freshly acquired. From this
modest beginning has grown work.

find in these classes youths of luxur-
ious training happily and heartily at
work with men from the compositor's
desk or the carpenters bench. Both
teachers and scholars are learning
much more than the lessons assigned.
They are coming to understand each
other. The college boy is learning

ST. GREGORY OF NAzIANzEN.
BY REV. MARY j. DELoNG.

This Christian father was born in
the year 1923, and died May 9, 800
His father was Bishop of Nazianus;
his mother was St. Norma, and he
had two sisters both of whom were
canonized. While yet boy he had
a dream, which in great measure
influenced the rest of his life. He
dreamed there came to him two celes-
tial female figures of dazzling beauty.
"They took him in their arms and
kissed him. He asked who they
were, and from whence they came.
One said, | am called Chastity, and
my sister here is Temperance; we
come to thee from Paradise, where
we stand continually before the face
of Christ, and taste ineffable de-
lights; come to us, my son, and dwell
with us forever" This dream seemed
to him so real that he received it as a
divine command, and took immediate
ly VOWS of perpetual confluence and
temperance. He studied at Athens,
where ST. Basil, and Julian, the Apos-
tate, were his fellow students. He re-
ceived baptism at the age of thirty
and was made coadjutor of his father,
Gregory, Bishop of Nazianus.
The Emperor Constantine, having
imposed an Arian formula upon the
western bishops, made an attempt to
do the same with the eastern episco-
pate. A storm arose in the bishop
ric of the aged Bishop of Nazianus,
which was only quelled by the strong
influence of the younger Gregory.

THE FORT WAYNE CENTENNIAL.
Ex-Lieut. Governor RoDertson's Address.


The City of Fort Wayne, Ind, eel
ebrated its centennial last week with
great enthusiasm and amid general
rejoicing. The Indiana city was par
ticularly fortunate in the orator and
historian of the occasion, Ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Robertson, whose ad-
dress was an epitome of the thrilling
history of the early settlement of that
portion of the Western country and
of the conflicts with the Indians, re-
viewing the history of what is now
known as Fort Wayne from 1872.
We give following substantial por-
tion of the eloquent address:
The downfall of one nation is the
upbuilding of another.
The king is dead-long live the
king" has been the cry throughout
the ages. We assemble to commem-
crate the building of our beautiful
city, and in doing SO we must COM
memorate the city and nation we de-
stroyed that ours might rise. For
here at the meeting Of our waters
was the principal seat or capital city
of the strongest and proudest aborig-
inal confederacy on the continent
the central home of the Miamis or
Twightwees, and of their allies and
kin.
Over it has hung or foated the col
ors of four nations, Bloody Belt" of
the Miamis, the lilies of France, the
cross of st. George, and the starry
banner of the United States, and it's
ownership was claimed by yet another
power-that of Spain.
When the footsteps of the white
man first pressed this soil we know
not. II we did we should know the
beginning of our history. Go back
to 1850, and call into your mind a
picture OF the head of the Maumee
as it was then. An unbroken forest
covered the face of the country for
many miles in every direction. Our
beautiful rivers flowed together then
as now, but they glided on through
brush and brake untrammeled. No
bridges or dams spanned them any
