men were in 1t. I noticed a third-class
compartment with two women in It,
seated opposite each other close to the
door; and as l was afraid the train
would be going II took up any more
time by looking elsewhere, I thought I
would place Frank In that compart-
ment, and at once opened the door and
lifted him in. I then noticed for the
first time that there was disreputable-
looking man at the farther end Of the
compartment, and was sorry that
had put Frank there; but 1t was too
late to make any change, for the train
was just starting. The porter closed
the door, and l walked along by the
side Of the compartment as far as
could, throwing kisses to my boy, which
he smilingly returned; and that is the

BEARING FRUIT.
The Good Samaritans at Work in this
City.

The reporter was called on
today by Mrs. Robert Bruce and
Miss Annie Muller, who wished tc
be shown where the old lady could
be found spoken of in our last issue,
as being sick and destitute. The
reporter carried them around and
found the old lady sitting up in bed.
Mrs. Dawson, the lady at whose
house this old lady is stopping, said:
She is much better today, and
when asked if any one had called
to help her, said yes, Mrs. Ben
Foreman and Miss Kelley had been
there and rendered assistance. The
reporter left Mrs. Bruce and Miss
Muller there and they will do all
they can to make her comfortable.
Mrs. Bruce reported another case
of destitution in the city that they
had just visited and relieved tempo
rarily. We say God bless these
women in their work of relieving
human misery.

Retrenching Council.

The West Side City Council met
last night and allowed the bills for
the past month. A committee
consisting of Aldermen Chic, Gala
CHER and Burke were appointed to
consider the new offer made by the
electric light company to furnish
lights for the city next year. The
company we learn wants $75 cash
money for each light per year on
moon light schedule or $3.50 year
for all night service. They also re-
quire the city to give bankable
paper with individual security. We
had a talk with several of the aid
ermen on the subject and they arc
in favor of letting the electric light
company take down their poles and
carbon burners. They argue that
the city has no money to pay for
the lights and if they have to give
bond for the pay they will just let
the service 60 We believe a city
is doing wrong to contract debts it
cannot pay and as Mayor Turner
was elected on a retrenchment
ticket pay as you go" it would be
well for the council to sustain him
in curtailing expenses,
The council also in their deliber-
ations sat down on the Mayor and
those councilmen who have been
in the habit of giving to every Dick,
Tom and Harry that asked it, per-
mission to cut away the street and
sell the dirt to private individuals

The committee on the electric
light contract will meet on Thurs
day night and they will report as to
whether they will pay the electric
light company for services or let

HIS MOTHER AS CAMILLE.
Ex-speaker Crisp's Boyhood Recol'
leCtions of the Stage In America.

Ex-Speaker Crisp's family was Of
the stage, And, indeed, it was this
profession of the theatres by his
parents which furnished Sheffield,
England, to the ex-speaker as a
birthplace. Both Crisps father and
mother were Americans born and
bred. And it was while his father
was fulfilling an English engage
ment that the leader Of the Geor-
gia Democracy was born. Not only
were Crisp's father and mother
stage folk, but his brothers as we'll

burning of the Brooklyn theatre

at that theatre at the time. Not

ingto in the role Of camille, Crisp
then speaker of the House, was in
attendance. In the interim be-
tween the second and third acts he
turned to a gentleman who occu-
pied seat just behind him.
"This is the first time I've been
to the theatre for many months,
said Crisp. 1T struck me all at
once that ] would like to see this

many years ago, On that occasion
my mother played the part of

corners Of his kind, friendly eyes,
"while | would not claim that my
mother was the greatest Camille
that ever lived, | must say the inn
preston which still dwels with me
is that she played it a great deal
better than does this lady" At
this point the curtain went up and
the speaker settled back for the
third act and the clustering me-
mories it brought in its train.

THE NECK OF Toll" :"
HOW 1T IS OPPRESSED BY THE
"lRON HEEL OF CAPITAL"

One Of Grover Cleveland's Idiotic
Phrases Ridiculed by "The Sun"
The Frenzied Rhetoric of the
Populist Leader Incited Labor
Against Capital-Provena Liar by
Later Events.
1t is pleasing and instructive to
watch what Mr. Cleveland calls the
"iron heel of capital" impinging on
the "neck of toll" For several weeks
now, at almost every industrial center
in the country employers of labor
have been raising the wages of their
men. They have been doing it freely
and unsolicited, under no sort of pres
sure from organized labor, and Of
their own volition merely. The rea.
son is TINT business has revived, that
the commercial outlook is full of en-
couragement, and that being able to
improve wages they prefer to do so.
Under like conditions the American
employer has always done the same
thing.
The converse of this proposition
would appear to be that labor, when
evil times overtake employers, should
of its own initiative reduce wages.
That is to say. labor should recognize
the true nature of its relation to cap.
ital as promptly and rs nationally as
capital recognizes It's relations and its
obligation to labor. This is not a
popular Wow of the subject, but 1t is
common sense; and although labor
does not admit the fact, it is the prin
oiple which determines the decrease
In wages precisely as under other and
opposite conditions 1t operates to raise
wages.
When Mr.. Cleveland started out to
experiment with the tariff, and there
by plunged every manufacturing in.
dustry in the United States into such
uncertainty that business could no
longer be carried on with confidence
or safety, the wage scale declined in
every direction and ceasel entirely in
many. Every demagogue aud every
anarchistio newspaper in the country
took the matter up. 1t was too good
q chance to miss. The oppressors Of
labor were closing their mills or cut
ting down the wage scale with the
merciless avarice that always marks
the attitude of capital toward labor.
Had not Mr.. Cleveland called atten.
ton to tho s'scenes that were being
enacted ut Homestead" in the name
OF capital, and was it not fitting
time for every friend OF toll to rally
against the encroachments and extor.
tions OF the rich? Then there spreal
over the whole United States one vast
tornado OF frenzied rhetoric and un.
reasoning denunciation whereof tho
echoes died away only last spring
Aud now the objects OF it oil, or at
least those who have survived tho
abuse and the injury heapol upon
them, are emerging into the cleare |
