panies, in which over 500 boys are enroll
ed, and there are several isolated com
panies in India, Australia, New Zealand
and in South American countries, as
well as roo South African boys whom
the missionaries have organized
In New York and Brooklyn the Bap-
fists Boys brigade which is a part Of
the national organization, is very pOpu-
lar. The boys have neat uniforms, they
drill with wooden guns, the officers
carry real swords. they have a band Of
their own, and every summer they so
into camp in regular military style at
some quiet seashore resort on Long Is
land. All winter long the boys look for
ward to these two weeks when they can
live in tents down by the shore. Their
camp is made in due military style. and
they mount guard on their picket lines
Just like real soldiers.
IN Chicago, too, the Boys brigade is
regarded in high favor among the ju-
venile population A little incident
which happened recently has done much
to popularize the brigade. One evening
a crowd of young tOughs gathered in
front of a church on the West Side and
were making a noise. The janitor or
dered them away, but they replied with
a shower of sticks and stones. Some of
the larger toughs grabbed him, and he
was roughly handled just at this mo
ment something happened which sur
prised the toughs a good deal.
The noise of the rioters had increased
and the poor janitOr was at their mercy,
when suddenly the basement doors Of
the church We're thrown open, the shri11
notes Of a bugle rang out, and a com
pany Of uniformed boys, armed with
muskets. marched out and formed in
double rank on the corner. The 16-yeaT-
old captain took in the situation at
glance.
Fix bayonetsl'' he commanded.
Thirty-six hands reached toward the
muzzles Of as many gnns
Forward Double quicki Chargei''
Thirty-six boys with guns tipped with
steel moved toward the astOnished
roughs. The leaders released their hold
on the bruised and half ch0ked janitOr.
There was a brief resistance, during
which a tough threw a stone, but the
next moment he felt a bayOnet and
ran.
The others followed him. and in less
than two minutes the street was clear,
and the boys We're marching back to re-
sumo their drill, which had been inter
rupted.
This was the first battle fought by
s1y company of the United Boys Brl-
gade Of America t may not be the last,
but whether the boys are even called
upon to face flesh and blood foes or
not, they are expected 20 win many vic
tories over evil habits and other imma-
terial but nevertheless real enemies.

wArL - PRosPERIEY.

Henry Clews' last circular from Wall
street takes on a very hopeful tone for
the future of business. Below are Civ
en- a Few Of the points in which he hnds
encouragement. He says:
"a better feeling prevails in the tex
tile trades, and the disposition shown
by the mill owners to restrict produc-
ton and reduce wages suggest a pros
peet that this important group Of in
dustries may soon hnd the way towards
q regulation of their interests. In the
iron trade also. important progress has
been made towards remedying the de-
moralization In prices through forming
combinations in different branches of
the business for the purpose Of pre-
venting excessive competition and plac-
ing production upon a paying basis. In
some of the Lending Industries. manu-
facturers are reducing their running
hours or stopping their works. Another
source Of relief must soon be sought in
the reduction of wages. which We're
very injudiciously and needlessly adj
vanced a year ago; and these exped-
tents win contribute towards bringing
ABOUT healIhAeH cohAlNoAS % DAsi-
ness"
1t seems from the above that a pros
porous condition Of business is to be
restored by reducing wages. working
shorter hours. stopping work. and form
ing combines to prevent competition.
The prosperity resulting from such
methods will be perhaps entirely salts
factory to Wall street but how viii the
people like it9

". G. BIRD TALKS.
Declares His Expulsion was Hasty
and Without Cause.


Labor Commissioner w. Bird
reached town this morning and viii
leave again tonight to secure addition
al data for his coming report from the
eastern part Of the state.
Commissioner Bird is not at all
worried over his suspension from the
membership ia the Kansas City
Trades assembly last Sunday. At least
that is what he says. Spea king of the
matter the commissioner said;
The whole trouble grows out of the
letter i wrote to the secretaries of the
various labor organizations through
out the state telling them I was op-
posed to the nomination of Governor
Morrill, for q second term and suggest
ing eX-Mayor Nat Barnes of Kansas
City, kan, as the proper man for the
Barnes. This fact led a number OF
Catholic labor men in Kansas City.
kan. to harangue their organizations
about it, and as the majority of the la
the consequence was they dOWned me.
Some of the leaders in the opposf-
ton to me are men whom ia the past
have greatly beErlenGeu and assisted
in every way. OF course I feel as
though some Of those who had been
my friends have turned against me
Nevertheless 4 snail keep on doing all
can for the labor cause lt is no use
to feel sore and spiteful for there
might be disruption This would be
wrong for it is trouble enough to or
ganize labor without disrupting it,
"A see in the resolutions which help
ed TO displace me that am accused
of 'bartering and selling the labor vote
to Nat Barnes. The fact is. I have
made no attempt to do anything of the
kind, neither does my letter regarding
the gubernatorial nomination even in
innate this I only asked the labor
organizations to get together and talk
the matter over, as Governor Morrill,
was not a friend to organized labor,
and was not q true American For
these reasons I suggested the name OF
Nat Barnes, merely for their consider
atoms"

In New York preparations are made
tutional before the governor has time
to sign them. Such has been the case
with the Raines liquor law and the law
compelling railroads to carry bicycles
as baggage. The necessity for a com
petent tribunal to pass on the oonsti-
tutional6y of laws before their enact
ment is becoming more apparent every
year. Or it might be better to frame
new constitutions so arranged that
when the people want a thing done
they can have it done.
