JUDICIOUS ARBITRATION.

One of the most vital questions which
interest the deepest thinkers of the age
is the rights and standing of the wage
Garner in the modern industrial system.
1t permeates religion, philosophy and
politics, and, as education is more
widely diffused among the laboring
classes, yearly grows more complicated
and difficult of solution. AS we look
back over the pages Of our nations his
tory and compare the industrial strug-
giles of the past with those of the pres
ent we find in all periods the same
story of strife and competition, labor
arrayed against capital and warning in
terests contending for supremacy.
How to harmonic the discOrdant ee-
ments of industry and set the national
wheels of progress revolving TRANQUILITY
is the question that remains unan-
swered? Strikes, with their attendant
disorder and numerous failures, have
caused the public to lose faith in their
utility to accomplish the end sought.
But to have acquiesced in any of the
past methods of arbitration suggested
by the great corporations would have
been betrayal of the interest of labor.
The reduced "wage system" and ap-
pressive clauses stipulated in their
agreements have all played their re-
spective parts in increasing the burdens
of labor and advancing the ends of
capital Capital has taken the position
of dictator instead of that of party
to dispute, and has assiduously sought
to force on labor agreements that lack
reciprocal features. But, in their ef'
forts to introduce unfair methods OF
arbitration, they have overshot the
mark and prepared the way for better
organization of the forces of labor. A
common bond of sympathy that unites
opposing factions in concerted action
and compels respectful attention tc
their demands for the redress of real OF
alleged grievances, has brought the
cause of the wage Garner to the from,
and presented his side of the case to the
thoughtful consideration of thinkers

A STEADY PURPOSE.

The man with steady purpose is
sure to succeed. With all undOubting
faith in the goodness of his purpose,
he will follow it until above all obsta-
cles he comes out victorious. A vic
tory of this nature strengthens the
mans own powers, and ennobles him
in the eyes of his fellowmen. With
his eyes fixed upon the end, he pursues
the leading of his determination, and
though men may scott and ridicule as
he goes, when he triumphs over all his
foes and stands firm upon his accom-
plished purpose, those who lightly re-
garded him gather around to praise.
The steady purpose in good things will
surely bring happiness and rich re-
ward. Men laughed while Noah builded
the Ark, but Noah paid little heed to
their jeers, worked faithfully day aft
er day until the f1oodgates of heaven
proved the wisdom of his purpose and
the folly of his scoffing neighbors.
Purpose directs energy, and makes
life, short though it be, worth the liv-
ing. We must not stand still, else we
become enfeebled. Purpose means pro-
gression, progression is growth, and
growth ultimates in fruition and COM
pleteness. A man who purposes good
thing may be overcome by difficulties,
and may frequently fall by the way,
but if he is true and steady, as surely
as the magnets needle points to the
North, so surely will he enjoy the
blessing of his accomplished purpose

HASTY JUDGEMENTS.

Don't be too hasty to cOnstrue
The motives of another.
Let charity with mantle true
Enfold your lowly brother.
You cannot know what tenderness
Within his heart is hidden,
Nor why at grief and sore distress.
His tears will flow unbidden.
Though rough his hands and deeply lined
With coarse trademarks of labor,
BY these you may not gauge the mind
OF him that is your neighbor.
His garb may be OF common grade,
Well patched and sadly faded
Not by this scale should he be weighed,
Nor by this standard graded.
Not versed in classic lore of Greece.
Not learned in ancient story,
Nor ever heard of ''Golden fleece"
Or AleXander's glory;
Yet he may have kindly heart
That beats for those that sorrow.
A helping hand to do his part
To better some tomorrow.
To glance at ocean deep and wide,
When summer smiles enwreath it.
Is not the way to gauge the tide,
That swiftly runs beneath it;
A plummet and deep-Sea line,
Must be employed to sound it.
BY these we may the truth divine,
Rejoicing when we've found it.
The rugged rocks that hilltOps crown,
May be devoid of beauty
To guard some treasure deeply down,
May be their bOunden duty.
To find the jewel in the clay,
There must be constant labor;
7Tis by hasty glance we may
Misjudge a worthy neighbor.

The attention of the Star having been

belonged to history. There is no ne
cessity for secrecy so far as Germany
and the dreibund is concerned, as the
treaty was made solely in compliance
with Russias wish and Germany had
nothing to be ashamed of. On the con-
trary, all peace-loving Germans have
just satisfaction. 1t is totally untrue
that the treaty implied disloyalty to
the dreibund. The latter even allowed
Austria to be neutral in the event of Il
French attack upon Germany or an
unprovoked German attack on Russia.
The whole dreibund could incorporate
in it if Russia was willing and conclude
the same argument without abandon
ing its main purpose. This would
tranquilize all the friends of peace, and
if there is any inclination on the part
of Russia it would be eXpedient to re-
