Notwithstanding story Told by
the chief.
There is q passage in Hoods biog'
raphy Of Cromwell in which the his.
torian speaks Of the many enemies who
tried to destroy the great commoner,
and how he successfully met their va.
rious schemings.
"Numberless little coteries Of hiss.
ing snakes and Kissing cells we're wrig.
Cling and twisting toward desired em.
inence. As we have said Cromwell
never was q republican-less 81 now
than ever. Shouts Of 'Usurper!' 'Ty.
rant!' 'Traitorl' 'Deceiver!' from the
factions; 'Detestable wretch!' Muir
derer!' we're met by the calm lightning
of that deep, clear, gray eye. Very
likely, gentlemen; just as you please
about al such pleasant ~epithets.
Meanwhile, understand that I am here
somehow or other. l have some no.
ton that I have been put here by the
Eternal God, who raiseth up and cast
eth down. Noble natures, you will
please to understand that am ruler
here to save you from clammy cells or
kissing snakes; and you, Mes,ieurs
Eels and Snakes, put yourself into the
smallest compass, if you please. or by
the Eternal God that sent me so much
the worse for you"
1t must have been something Of the
sane quality Of determination aud the
same kind Of courage which has &C.
tuated John Duss, Of the Economic
Society, to fight its battles during the
last four or Eve years. The work he
has had to do required the most in
domitable will power, the most posi-
tive kind Of courage.
READS LIKE A ROMANCE.
The story Of his experiences since
he assumed charge of affairs is really
something out of the common. He
would rot give 1t to me as I wanted it.
HIS objections to being interviewed
concerning either himself or the old
Harmony Society; his trials and diff
c%ulties, the present society and its
prospects we're as emphatic as thsylwere
decisive, but warming to the subject
he eventually told . great many inter
esting things concerning the society
and the property which has been the
subject Of SO much litigation during
the last Eve years o. so. 1t was q
story Of tho most uncommon interest
and best told by the man-Mr. Duss
himself-who has played so prominent
q part in 1t.
II it all be true, aud there does net
seem to be the slightest reason in the
world Why it should not be, Johu Ouss
has gone through an experience 10
that short life Of his the like Of which
csmes into the life Of but few uen.
It is but small wonder that the
strongly marked lines which give his
face SO much character are those
which ought to come only with 50
years instead of to q young man whose
age is but 35. Few men there are
who would have come through the
Conflict" as Mr. Duss terms it, as
we'll as he has done. When I spoke
to him Of it he said:
NO TINE TO THINK OF 1T.
g" wonder at it myself sometimes.
They say human nature don't bear up
beyond q certain limit. I would like
to know what my limit is. For two
years, however, l had not the oppor.
tunity to think about it. l had to
hold up, although l seldom was able
to eat . meal in the name it should
have been eaten"
"WoA't you tell The Dispatch Of
your experiences in those days2 The
public is interested, not only in your
self, but in the old Economic Society,
which has been so familiar to Pitts
burgers during these many years."
al we'll know it to be q subject oil
quite general curiosity to know wbs,
is TO become Of the Economic Society,
