Work In New York.

There is a great movement of the same
kind in New York. In St. Bartholomew
Protestant Episcopal Church, of which
Rev. DR.. Greer is rector and in St. Georges
Church, Rev. DR.. Rainsford, rector, there
is a carpenter shop and other places, where
boys may learn to use the tools of the
carpenters craft. Others who conduct
similar enterprises are the Central Metho-
dist. Episcopal, Metropolitan Temple, Park
Avenue Presbyterian Church. Amity Bap-
fist Church and Madison Avenue Presby-
terrain Church. The pastor of the latter,
Rev. DR.. Charles L. Thompson, is also
president Of the open and Institutional
League"
Those who have arranged for the con-
vention are hoping for great results, and
expect that Christian unity VIII be brought
much nearer as the outcome of the meet
ings.

TIE MINERS, STRIKE

1t seems unfortunate that the coal
miners of the country numbering into
the hundreds of thousands, should be
called upon to go on strike just when
everything points to a revival of buSi-
ness.
The iron makers and coal operators
seem to be responsible for this strike.
They represent the manufacturing class
which profits more than any other by
the tariff law about to be enacted. 1t
would seem that of all others they were
the last who should announce the cut
in wages which precipitated this strike.
Their employees were told that the cleo
tion of Mckinley would ensure better
times for them. Why should they
make the times worse for these same
men by cutting wages just when the
new administration is making times
better for the iron maker and the coal
baron? They might at least let wages
remain as they are.
1t has frequently been urged that all
the country needs is a rest from dis
turbances of this character and from
agitation. But if prosperity depends
upon a cessation of strikes and efforts
to secure changes in the economic sys-
tenn it will be a long time coming.
There will be agitation and efforts to
upset the existing order, like that en-
bodied in. the Debs plan, for instance,
just as long as there are wrongs. or
seem to be wrongs, which need right
ing.
There is dissatisfied element always
clamOring for a change in the existing
order-sometimes for better, sometimes
for worse. Out of the agitation car
ried Oh by this class generally comes an
adjustment which brings truth and
right nearer to the front.
All reforms and attempts at changing
the established order meet with violent
opposition at first and sometimes it
takes many years to overcome that op-
position. 1t was so with the move
ment for the abolition of slavery. The
opposition was so great that a resort
to arms was finally necessary to put
down the wrong and establish the
right.
There are those today who believe
that a laboring man is entitled to a
larger share of his earnings than he is
getting-some going so far as to main
tain that he should have the entire pro-
duct of his labor. Labor unions and
strikes are the results of these opin-
ions. They have generally been fail
ures as a means of accomplishing any
thing permanent, but if these people
are right in their contention they will
triumph some time, if not through old
methods, then through new ones.
Each generation witnesses great
changes in public sentiment and in
business methods. Things that are
now considered just and proper by a
large part of the people would have
been thought startling and even dan
gerous 80 years ago.

He said 1t would not be long until every

compelled to destroy several canvases.

single crop-oatS- All the land inclos-
ed by the mile track is planted in this
cereal and some 20 or so acres in addf-
ton are under cultivation. The crop
this season is nearly ready to cut, and
something like $500 bushels is the re-
suit. The harVeSterS will StartstO work

oats would cost the city not less than
$3.50 if had to be bought.
This is not all, for two cuttings of
hay will be made from this same land,
which w. Lee Ellis, who is in charge,
estimates will produce something like
$500 bales, which would cost the nuni-
cipality easily $4,000. The city has
more stock to feed than is generally con-
sidered. Taking the fire department,
the sanitary squad, the street force and
all, not less than so mules and horses
must be fed by the city and all OF this hi

says: The cost of operating the farm
is practically nothing, except for the la

vesting- The stock must be kept any
way and with the number needed to do
the city's work all that is necessary in
the cultivation of the crop we raise
can be done when the animals would be
idle if not thus employed. We use all

FELL THIRTY FEET.

the operation was entirely involuntary.
Smith was working one of the
derricks at the site of the new Santa Fe
bridge at Bonner Springs, and was at
a height of over thirty feet from the
ground. While adjusting some of the
hosting machinery he lost his balance
and fell, but the ground under the der

were badly sprained and his entire
body severely wrenched. 1t is believ-
