THE SEA-BIRDS' FOE.

Round some low promontory leap and

Ami wheeling round with curious eye

When on hard rock or crimsoned wave
they fall,
Aud at the salor's feet in heaps are
lying,

In vain on yon bare cliff by thousands
dying
By whom Is uerved the sanguinsry hand
Which spreads a cloud of woe Ger cliff
and water,
Aud drives these living sunbeams f'om
our strand?
By thy fair sisters, 'cte or gentle daugh-

For her brave hat demands the sea

Nor wiz one feather from her tresses

To put an eud to all this tragic story.

STRIKING FOB PRINCIPLE,

The Leavenworth Times, speaking
of the striking cloak makers of New
York, some of whom have been given
work at their trade, does not under
stand their motive in the strike. It
says:
They probably claim "prinoiple" but
principle is one Of the most abused words
in the English language to- day.
There is principle but lis good idea TO
know when to act on account Of it, and in
the absence of that knowledgei it were better
not to sot at all.
1t is to be presumed that the res.
son the Times never acts from prin
clpls is because of the absence of
that knowledge" The Times never
has any kick against a corporation or
q capitalist on account Of a reduction
of the wages of labor, but it never
fails to howl when lsborers make an
effort to stand for their rights.

NEW CHARITABLE RESOURCES.

The associated charities Of Topeka
recently adopted the plan submitted
by Treasurer Wilder of the Santa
Fe railroad to give the poor OF thus
city work upon a rock pile at the rate
of 80 cents for $l5O worth of work in
order to keep them from starving.
Some of the charitable associations of
Chicago seem to have hit upon
another scheme of charity" which
we recommend to Mr.. Wilder for
adoption by his society. Those Chi.
csgo people seem to have got ahead
of our Topeka humsnitsrisns in the
charity business, snd Mr.. Wilder
may profit by their suggestions.
They propose to feed the poor
worklngmen of Chicago Cpon bread
made of three fourths ssW-dust and
one. fourth rye -four. They say that
by a chemical process the texture
and taste Of the saw dust is taken
away and that it really makes pret y
good bresd-not such, it is tue, as
would be chosen by Mr.. Pullmsu,
Mr.. Armour and such like gentry, or
even by Mr.. Wilder himself, but good
enough for workingman. 1t is said
that workingmsn of Berlin have been
eating this kind of bread for some
time, one bakery alone, over there,
turning out 200 pounds of it per day.
If it is good enough for a Berlin
workingmsn, why not for sn Amari-
can? American workingmen, espe-
cially if they are out of a JOB and un-
able to find work, must not be too
fsstideous about little matters of this
kind. By all means, let Mr.. Wilder
get saw dust bread factory in oper-
alton as soon as possible. By so do
ing, the associated charities could
cut down the so cents which they
propose to give for $3.50 worth of
work on the rock pile to rs cents
easily, and q great saving would be
made thereby.

The fact that United States notes
are being used by a lot Of pirates for
the purpose of depleting the treas
ury and securing the issue OF govern

rency reformers" as indicating the
necessity for the final retirement of
all United States paper money and
turning of the whole fiat business
over to th9 banks. A far better plan
would be to hang the conspirators
engaged in this scheme of plunder
and thus finally retire them.

Readers Of The People are not untR-

ration. M than once these columns
have proclaimed the capitalist glorIes OF
Of this capitalist ulcer on our capitalist
metropolis. It has again and sgain been
pointed out that this concern was reared
on wholesale fraud, perpetusted by
more fraud and still more fraud. That
the municipal and state sanitary laws
were as 80 much unwritten matter, in :
soHar as they were at all obsVed by the
corporation. That upon its domain and

most deathly tenement houses, grog
shops and houses Of prostitution, and
that from such polluted sources and
through such breaches Of law q hypo.
critical, phsrissiCsl coterie did gobble
up large quantities Of wealth, all the
while covering itself with the cloak Of
morality and religion.
Well, now, these are investigation
days. Parallel with the TsmmRny in
vsstigstion, we have been having tene-
ment house system investigation. The
latter has called comparatively little at
tention until toward it's end. Now, how
ever, facts appear that should cause the
worst Tsmmsny exposures to pale, es-
pecially il it is considered that the tene.
ment house crime directly Affects hu-
man life.
These are some Of the facts brought
out by the investigation:
In one bouss q child Of 3 years was
found hard at work all day folding silk
about ornaments which the mother made.
The little one worked as long hours 90
it's mother did. In another there were
tiny sufferers from scarlet fever lying
prone on the swsst-shop bundles Of
resdymsde clothes on which they had
been at work. The use OF bundles OF
unfinished garments as beds of illness
and Of rest is common in the tensment
sweat shops.
A witness stated that she found, In

She believed the moral effect TO be
very bad. She had watched a number
Of children grow up, and in almost
every case the influence Of their sur"
roundings was responsible for their evil
tendencies. 1t is not an uncommon
thing for q child 20 be born in q sweat
shop in the presence Of young women,
and during work hours. Witness knew
OF Two cases were unnatural crimes were
committed through the iDfuenOs OF these
surroundings. Most families live In On
apartment of two rooms, dark and un-
healthy. Witness thought that the
remedy lay in an enforcement OF both
the factory and health laws.
Such was the bulk Of the testimony
from which it Furthermore appeared
that the most Famshaokls tenements,
least fit for human hRbitation, in which
light, water and ventilation were least
accessible, and sQualOr reigned supreme
one OF them even turning out to DO an
opium j1int, belonging to the Trinity
Church corporation.
Colonel Van Rensselaer, Cruger, the
controller of the corporations estate,
was then called up. From the start his
explanations placed him in an unfavor-
able light, but before the committee got
through with him, he was disgrscsd
man. He at first tried to free the cor
porstlon from blame by claiming that In
certain specific instances 1t only owned
the land and leased IL, and that it was
the lesees who broke tho law. Being
asked whether, when the corporation
found that q building on their property
was in o bad condition, 1t could not Co
cree the lessee to obey the law, he an
swered that they could, but he thought
that to do 30 would be an "unwRrranted
hardship" to the lessee. Toe colonel
had barely escaped in this singed oondi-
tion from one dislemmR when be was
hurled heels over head into another.
The committees secretary read an in
spectol'S report on the house at 342
Hudson street. It asserted that the
building was in q villainOus state, and
that Trinity corporation owned both
land and house. and collected the rents.
The colonel hemmed, hswed and
looked cheap. The committee pressed
him with questions why the corpora
tion fought the health boards efforts to
enforce the law compelling water on
every floor Of tenement houUes. Then
the man became impertinsnt and
shouted that the corporation did so out
Of sanitary reasons, because sit was bet
ter to have the dwellers go into the
yard for their water; when it was inside
the building, they we're likely to slop 1t
on the A1or and create dampnsas.
The sanitary precautions" Of the
Trinity Church corporation may be
summed up thus: "DsRth rate. IL;
