THE COAL MINES.

If all other incentives to action
Lay dead in my sinking heart,
If no other woe in the nation
Bade a word for truth upstart, fG
If all my hope lay buried
In defeats unfathomed pain,
The deep, dark, terrible coal mines
Would rouse me to action again.
Within liethe pit and its dangers
Without is the pluck-me store;
In the office, the schedule of scanty work.
At home the wolf at the door,
Within Is the CRIME that blackens
Worn face and horny hands,
Without is the voice of oppression
That patient silence commands.
Are white with winter SHOWS
Little children eagerly listen
To hear if the whistle blows:
And If it gives no warning
They know the truth full well;
There'll be no work tomorrow
This tale does the silence tell.
Think of the trampied manhood
In it's awful battle for bread;
Half work, no work, thus months roll on
Till hungry hope lies dead.
Children fade and hope lies lost
And woman's cheek grows wan.
But the watchers who sigh in the darkness
See no promise of rosy dawn.
These men shrink not from danger.
They are willing to do their part
In bringing old Earth's treasures
TO civilizations mart.
But faces that have blanched not
At the terrors of the mine,
Grow white at the thought Of the future
And at fortunes certain decline.
The head reels and the eye dims
When we weigh the tale Of the mines,
And think of the. calm indifference
With which lordly capital dimes.
But not from the yielding of princes
Will Labor gain tenable ground
In the courage and struggle of the people
Alone will Justice be found.

INSPECTION HUMBUG.

With grain inspection, butter, milk
and cheese inspection, Oil inspection,
and several other inspections, each of
which gives fat places, some being
sinecures, to political strikers, there
is expected to be added meat inspec-
tion and hay and potato inspection, to
make more sinecures and give other
servile political bushwhackers soft
snaps. There is one article of COM
merce widely dealt in and consumed
an article that is more subject to
adulterations and fraud and conceals
more deadly poisons than any other,
that has been overlooked. Why not
pass law providing for an inspector
of whisky in each important city in
the state, with provision that the
seller pay the inspection fees?
Here would be improvised a large
number of very desirable Offices for
the hungry and the thirsty, without
imposing any burden upon the prO-
ducer or consumer of product neces-
Sary for the subsistence or comfort of
the people. The tax or expense of the
service would not be- felt and do no
harm. But the expense OF some Of
these other inspectors is growing
burden that the people are chatting
under. The News will not be sur
prised to hear of a movement that
will spread over the entire grain-grow-
ing sections of the state before the
next election, for the absolute repeal
of the grain inspection and weighing
department.. The farmers are fully
satisfied it is no longer for their bene-
tit, but that the service is largely
manipulated in the interest of eleva-
tors, dealers and millers. There is no
certainty about it. Numerous in
stances might be cited where the
same Identical crop, shipped at the
same time, has been diversely graded;
some cars going No. hard, others No.
and smutty, and SO forth. This in.
spection craze must be SAT upon, or
the time will come when the man who
produces an article of human food
will be classsed as public enemy, un-
til he prove the contrary at large per-
sonal expense. News.
