This NeMsboy Was Grateful

A condition of moral degeneracy is COM
monty attributed to newsboys, but there are
exceptions.
A physician who recently moved I'D town
into the eighties took an evening paper from
a small newsboy and dived into his pocket
for the change.
That's all right. Doc" rmarked the little
chap. II won't take no money Don't you
remember Jimmie you cured last winter with
the fever?''
Then the physician recognized in the tall
and sturdy boy a little chap whom he had
pulled through fever without any payment.
But that's all right, jimmie" be said,
''and you must certainly let me pay you for
the paper"
''No.' said the boy, 81 won't Where are
you living up here, Doc? 1 want to come and
see you."
He hasn't turned up yet to see the doctor.
but every morning and evening he slips a
paper under the door and to have a proper
understanding in the beginning with the first
paper he scrubbed little notice: please,
Doc, accept these papers allus, from Jim

IT is claimed by those in charge of labor
bills in the House that the Committee on
Rules will not ser apart day for their con-

the question. Congress does not act on these
labor bills, although reports on them have
been made by the committees. Let the gen.

sincerity by demanding the consideration Of
these measures on the floor of the House, and
then working men can see who is at fault.

New Hampshire's Plague of Woodchucks.
While the Vermont farmers are scolding
their legislature in regard to protected deer
and presenting bills for the destruction OF
crops to the tune of about s4OO. 900, New
Hampshire has been agitated by the wood
chuck question. 1t is estimated that the State
had 4S2, $50 woodchucks and that each one
can destroy 500 pounds OF clover per season.
DeductinR 10000 from the above figures the
4I0,O00 remaining must destroy each season

sos. 1000 lost by New Hampshire farmers by
woodchucks. The farmers and their boys
have consented to run down the 'chucks for
the astonishing bounty Of 10 cents each and
last years kill amounted to about 10000.
Notwithstanding all this the actual number Of
wocdchucks in New Hampshire is reported as
great as ever.-Boston Herald.

DEFENDER OF THEosopHY.
Mr.. Coffin Says God Is Principle and
Not a Person,

There was large audience at the hall of
the Legion of Loyal Women, 419 Tenth street
northwest. last night to hear the lecture Of
Mr.. George NJ. Coffin on "Some truths about
Theosophy." The discourse was In part an
effort to controvert the arguments advanced
some time ago by Rev. Dr. Frank Sewall. in
his discourse on "0ccuitism and Christian
ity.''
Mr.. Coffin said the theosophical idea of
God or deity is not that Of great man in
human form, as is taught by the orthodox,
but Of principle eternal, houndless, and
immutable, the source and cause OF all things
created, including man, who is the highest

THE BROOKLYN STRIKE.
From the Baltimore Sun. !

From the Baltimore Sum-
The convulsions that shook Chicago last
year and that have been shaking Brooklyn
recently are not properly conflicts between
labor and capital. They are conflicts be-
tween capital and capital. The moneyed
mans capital is his dollars and brains But
the workman has capital that is quite as
valuable and quite as necessary to the gen.
eral good. His industry, his bodily strength,
and his skill are his capital. and, though in
tangible and invisible they are as much
property, in the sense of being marketable
and sources of revenue as the stocks and
bonds of railway corporations.
II the railway corporation has the right to
demand of the State protection from inter-
ference.that would depreciate the value of its
stock and bonds, the employees have no less
right to ask protection from a high-banded
and unwarranted course which would depre-
ciate their property-their skill. their
strength, their industry-and cut down its
dividends by 25 or so per cent.
In the case of railway and other great cor
porations whose services are absolutely es-
sential to public traffic and convenience, the
plea that man has the right to do with his
own as he will cannot be accepted without
limitations. Their privileges are necessarily
coupled with obligations to the public. and if
they fail TO discharge those obligations it is
not their business only, but eyerybody's bust
ness.
AS it is, the Chicago strike. with all its vast
issues, has decided nothing. and the Brook
lyn strike, if it ends by the mere suppression
Of the strikers, will be just as fruitless. The
strikers may be repulsed, but the attack will
be renewed from time 70 time, if no system
of arbitration is adopted, and the country

these combatants
