Labor for Postal Savings Banks,


The State Federation of Labor in
session at Bloomington has added its
Endorsement to the agitation for the
establishment of postal savings
banks. Local unions in large num-
bcrs have indorsed the movement.
Other state and national conventions
as they meet should also take action
along the same line. Especially
should the American Federation of
Labor, which meets in December,
take strong position in favor of
postal savings banks. The demand
for their establishment should bcre-
iterated 50 pcrsistently that congress
cannot longer ignore the subject.
The vote upon the adoption of the
postal savings bank resolutions at
Bloomington was unanimous, which
indicates the general sentiment of
workingmcn on the subject.-Ci-
coyo Record.

NV brother ostrich, let us think
further one step OF the one whose
failures have made YOU hide your
head. reckon you would regard
him as incxprcssibly stupid who
tried to picture to himself the Grant
or Washington monument, with
nothing before him but sharp edg-
ed chip. Its rough appearance, its
dangerous points, its unfinished and
unpublished sides are not the right
things by which to estimate the
original of which it is a memento.
Think now if YOU please Of those
wrctchcd failures among men and
women Of good profession, and learn
what | would argue concerning
them. Mere fragments are they,
and bear no resemblance to the
grand block of which they were
once a part. They have caused you
heretofore to bury your head from
the sunlight of day. Open your
eyes now and Il wholesome world
growing more and more full of
great things, learned to be true, is
yours to look upon and disport
yourself in for your little day.

| am not intending to argue her,
what things are true and what ar,

charming duncery of your logic
Let me show YOU your own ostricl
way, as in a mirror. All the an.
clients were prepared to swear that
the earth was flat and the sun its
attendant satellite. They were even
prepared to kill those who would
tcssify differently. But while they
were protesting to run the universe
to suit their narrow minds, what
was the truth? The earth was
globular, and its orbit around the
sun had been practically unchanged
for ages. Now it is evident that all
these millions, ignorant of the truth,
believed in untruth, and vet all
their miriads minds did neither af-
feet nor hinder the planets in their
appointed journeys.
Again, suppose we all with one
accord should deny the existence of
the sun, we should merely proclaim
our own blindness and the sun
would not be affected Il particle. 1t
would be still there, hanging hotly
above us, our dcnials of its exist
cncc would be indcscribable Moth
ings.
Now supposing God to exist; the
Sacred Book Of any number Of diff
Ecrcnt religions with any number of
different inaccuracies lived forth by
any number of frightful frauds
takirs of lIindustan or evil men and
thieves in Christian churches-do
not affect His existence or put Him
aside. If he exist, a million denials
of His existence amount to nothing
more than did ages of ignorance in
relation to the power that kept our
globe circling.
fla basic fact of the universe be
true, it has been true always and al
ways will be true, even ifnever dis
covered. Think of the modern
claiming of electricity and you will
see what | mean. The wondrous
power we now control to pull our
trains, light our rooms, cook our
meals, has been here as long as the
world has existed. 1t is a truth of
nature Ysaa.t.ar and. still would. be, -eYen
|,thohgh we never had wrenched its
secret forward into light.
K*
Ever the sun shines Though the night
Brings darkness, yet, not vanishsd quite,
| Our faith is helped by mirrors dim
The misty stars, the moons cold rim,
Or, when the cloudy veil hangs low,
Some shrcding fleece with gold will glow,
And bid us hope. Zen the sad soul
Who dwclls where months OF darkness roll
May find his niidelity
Rcbulicd by some pale stars firm eye.
And still, though uuestionings and doubts
And ridicuie and mocl;ing shouts,
Though all men say no sun exists
And each one argues as hc lists,
And though the planets all combine
To hide his face, still doth he shine.
Some day no cloud shall cloak the hill
No mist the gloomy valley ill;
But every shadow flee away
out driven by the perfect day.

New Orleans, Sept. 1S.-The body of
a murdered man was discovered few
weeks ago in an old field in st. Charles
parish and about the same time two
negroes offered second hand dealer
in this city some articles which made
him suspicious and he reported the
matter to the police. The result was
the arrest of the negroes and a search
discovered various articles evidently
stolen. Other arrests followed quick
ly and further discovery was made
that a regularly organized gang of
murderers existed in st. Charles par
ish, and that the body found in the
old field was that of a Jew peddler
whom the gang had murdered.
They only secured small amount
from the poor man. The leader of the
gang is a negro called Creole, and
others of the gang were confined in
Jail. 1t will be remembered that about
year ago two Italians were taken
from the Jail in Hahnville and lynch
ed for the suspected murder of an old
Spaniard with whom they had been at
enmity. After some time had elapsed
quite commotion was created by
some sentimental people who insisted
the Italians were innocent people and
that the mob's vengeance had been
wreaked on a couple of harmless for
eigners. A good deal of sympathy was
thus created outside of st. Charles,
and many had begun to believe the
lynched Italians were innocent. The
following from Hahnville settles il
that the Italians got what they de-
served on that fatal Sunday night:
Hahnville, La, Antonio Richard, the
alice creole sent for Sheriff Orr this
morning and made the following
statements: On July 6, 1896, Joseph
v dorella and Salvador Arena, two
.iians who were taken out of the
Jail in this parish by an Infatuated
mob and lynched on August 8, 1896,
came in front of Ellington plantation
ia cart full of water melons. They
gave the Creole all the melons he
could eat and then asked him to help
them kill Jochim RoXima, an old
Spaniard, in the evening, TO which
proposition he cCasented. In the ev-
ening of the same day he procured a
piece of iron rail, went through a
field while Ventorella and Arena drove
in the regular road in their cart, and
met him C''CreOle'O near their corn
field just as the old Spaniard Rox-
ima) was passing. "Creole" accosted
him and struck him in the head with
the iron, killing him. Yentorella then
came over, tied piece of rope around
Roxima's leg and dragged his body to
the place where it was found. This
statement of Creole" confirms the
opinion held by all officers and citi-
zens of the parish, that the Italians
had a hand in the killing of old Rox-
ina, and that no innocent blood was
shed on the night of the lynehing."

And Now the Easy Payment Company
Has Two Suits on Hand.
Frances Moody and Ida Bennett be-
gan suit for damages against the S.
L. Gillett Easy Payment company
in the Forty-fifth District court yes
terday. Their complaints are set
forth in separate petitions, but the al
legations are about the same. They
show that on June they were pos
sessed of certain household furniture,
consisting of bedroom sets, ETC., the
aggregate value of which was about
500, and that on that date four of
defendants agents forcibly entered
the house of plaintiffs to take posses
sion of the furniture. The petition al
leges that the agents abused and as
saulted plaintiffs and that Frances
Moody is an aged woman and unable
to make physical restance; that a
large number of articles of bric-a-brac
were broken and that plaintiffs suf-
fered great mental pain by the ma
liciOus and wantom acts of the agents
committed under express orders of
defendant Gillett. Ida Bennett sues
for damage in the sum of $500 and
Frances Moody for $1,000.

Charlie Armour Came to Town and
Now He is in Jail.
Sheriff Campbell arrived from Yoa-
KUN last night with Charles Armour,
who was arrested Saturday on a tele-
gram from San Antonio. Armour is
wanted here on a charge Of stealing
a horse and saddle. Up to last Friday
he was employed by Celestine Yae-
ger. farmer, and came to the city
with a load of hay. He sold the hay
to the City Brewery, and drove to
Louis Vollmer's campyard, corner Of
Medina and Perez streets. Here he
took one of the horses and borrowed
a saddle from Mr.. Vollmer, telling
him that he wanted TO collect some
money. He left the wagon and the
other horse in the campyard and rode
off. Here Mr.. Vollmer's suspicion be-
came aroused, for the rider, saddle or
horse never returned. Armour rode to
Yoakum, where he was arrested, and
the horse and saddle have been re-
covered.
