A Birthday Anniversary.

Old Sol came up on the morning OF May
| 3lst, it will be remembered, smiling anu
all glorious, prepared before the close
of the day to literally rain down his beams
as the people of Prospect and vicinity and
| and Others can attest. Farmer John Lep-
! ley had gone forth to his duties IN the
field apparently all unconscious OF the
| pleasures awaiting him. About the time
when the husbandman begins to wonder
| if more than an hour must elapse before
! the good housewife will gladden. his faint
| ing spirit with the sweet melody of the
dinner bell, some friends approached and
persuaded co 10y aside his toll for time.
Upon coming to the house, ne found thai
the community had swarmed and was IN
the process of settling on his premises to
hold a picnic in honor of his birthday.
The multitude was not a selected "set
The invitation to enjoy the day together
seems to have been a general one to all
with but few exceptions, and the spirit
which prevailed was one of good will, kind
ness and socability. a committee OF neighbor;

table was constructed capable of accom-
modatng IS persons. Very mysteriously
and from many different quarters this i'm
provised structure was lsdened with the
choicest, most tempting products of culinary
skill, few minutes before noon 1t was
filled with happy people and to sccomo-
date all the process was repeated
three times, $50 persons must have dined
and some came afterward.
At the close of this sumptious repast,
some appropriate exercises commemorat-
i've of the occasion were introduced pre-
sided over by Mr.. James Wilson. Ad-
dresses were made by Revs. McClelland
and Stallmal, .Mcssrs Scott, Welgle, Robb.
Mckee and Stoughton; Prayer was offered,
hymns were sung under the leadership OF
Mrs. LYDIA Lepley. The exercises closed
with praise God from whom all blessings
flow" and the benediction, after which the
friends enjoyed free social time, return
ing home later. The many useful gifts re-
ceived should ne acknowledged since they
indicate the kindness of friends. Mr.. Lep-
lev lives near Prospect and is a substan-
tial and progressive farmer. He is 63 yeart
old, his first birthday being May 31st, 1882
He has, therefore seen GA birthdays. bui
no doubt he looks upon his Gath now as the
best OF his life 80 far. l close with the
kind regards of his many friends who wish
him many more happy returns OF the day.

A Wedding in FIR anklrn Township.

The residence OF Mr.. AMI Mrs. James +
Brown of Franklin Independent was the
scene Of very pleasant wedding on Wed
nesday, May 90. The contracting parties
were Miss Belle Brown of Franklin twp.
and J G. Elliott of Buffalo twp. The GER
emony was performed by Rev. 0ller in the
presence of goodly number OF relatives
and neighbors; most delicious dinner was
served at IL o'clock by Miss Emma Brown,
Miss Reb ,cca Brown and Mrs.J ohm Boozel
sisters of the bride.
After dinner the gentlemen of the COM
pany lndulged in smoke, the groom
presenting them some verv fine cigars,
which we all enjoyed. The bride and
groom left on train for the city.
One Of the ladies sent the old shoes after
them for good luck, while some of the par
ty went with them to the depot. The
rest of the company stayed at the residence
of the brides pareuts and had a good, So
cial time. The writer thinks it would not
be bad place to get acquainted. The
bride received many valuable presents and
ere the guests departed they felt convinced
that marriage is not a failure.
May their pathway through life be all
sunshine and roses is the wish of

During the excitement in the House las

ite wrote this and passed it around:
East Side, West Side,
All around the town;
We're oil against apportionment.
The bills must all 10 down.
Nagee and Finn csn't boss tho house,
The old boss still is trump;
Wait until they show their hands,
And we'll give them all the dump.
Senator Quay te)egraphed to certain
Senator to delay action until he arrived
When it became generally known that the
old man was coming, the doggerel wa
changed ss follows:
East Side, West Side,
ALI around the town;
The man who don't take orders
On the telephone for Brown.
Has heard the old mans coming,
And now does quantity say.
That while he couldn't hear by phone,
He yet may be with Quay.
The Brown referred TO is the Assistant
Secretary of Internal Affsirs, in whose
office the telephone is located. Squads oI
Quay ties were singing the songs on the
streets and in the Capital grounds.
On Thursday, when Quay arrived in
tswn, Quay poets sprung up like dande-
lions in early spring. Mr.. Burrell, OF Mer-
Ger was grinding out the stuff 1t was
sung by the boisterous sdhsrents for The
Beaver man. Here 1t ia:
East Side, West Side, all around the town.

But we won't stand ii, will We, boys,
So let's put them all to rout.

But bluff and Doodle cannot win,
While Bill Andrews is on guard.
Penrose. Durham and the rest
Are in the fight to stay,
Their banners are unfurled to win,
And we will carry the day.
East Side, West SIDE,
Watch how the boys will sweat,
The apportionment bills can never pass.
On this you can safely bet.
The old machines not played out yet,
But still can lead the chase.
It's ten to one shot you can bet
That Quay will win the race.

RELIGION, LABOR, CAPITAL
Bishop Montgomery's Lecture
Last Evening
GOVERNMENT AND MORALITY
Anita agonism Between Labor and Capita!
Is Artificial
Broad aud Comprehensive Treatment Of the
Difficult Subject from the Standpoint Of
Christian Sociology

large and intelligent audience assem-
bled at the Los Angeles theater last
night to listen to the lecture given by the
Right Rev. Bishop George Montgomery
upon the subject of Religion. Labor and
Capital. A short musical programme
was rendered, after which Senator K. +.
del Vale introduced the speaker. In a
few words Bishop Montgomery ina nked
all those who had participated in ma king
the event success aud then went dI rect
ly to his subject.
Making reference to the vastness of the
subject, the speaker explained that he
would confne himself mainly to prin.
cipes. First as to the strained relations
between labor and capital:
If these are to be harmonized it must
be through religious influences. Any
discussion of the matter which separates
the religious and spiritual elements from
the practical is without reason. The or
igin of the struggle lies in the very ma.
ture OF things; but the antagonism be-
tween labor and capital comes from man S
having departed from the law of God.
1t springs from selfish interests, and is
kept alive by mans insatiatc greed.
under the question of labor and cap
ltal must come all the questions regard
ing the relations OF man us social being.
we say the laws OF supply and demand
regulate themselves, and under natural
conditions they do; but today the, are
regulated by an artificial adjustment
which is controlled by. and in the inter-
csts Of the minority. The function OF
government is to protect men in their
rights. Yet the minority are not pro-
tccted; they are not dealt with fairly in
the distribution of the products of labor.
The power OF production should be more
considered. Mechanical inventions and
the consequent increase in ptuduction
should not reward one class alone. Labor
is the source of wealth, or produces
wealth; therefore, the blessings of
mechanical Improvements should be
justly proportioned. If over-p production
is feared as result of the increased
efficiency Of labor shorten the hours of
labor.
There is a double monopoly on the
part OF a few who control the forces of in
dustry, monopllzing the results OF labor
and the laws by which they are enabled
10 do it. 1t is not enough to say private
enterprise will prevent it. 1t cannot
hold its own against combines. Note the
examples offered in the oil industry, in
the large wheat deals and other instances
too numerous to mention. In the pres-
ont condition of our legislation there is
nothing to prevent it.
'If the principle of monopoly. as evil
denCed in such cases, were carried to its
logical conclusion, a corner on the very
materials of subsistence might be ex-
pected. Such thing is crime against
God and man, and the civil state is
not doing its duty where such state OF
AFFAIRS exists.
