Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-10-14

A writer in the London Graphic
draws in the following paragraph
strong and true picture of just what
manual toll is. The mere realization
of it made him Tor herr tired. How
little do idle people realize what an
eight or ten-hour days labor really
means! 1t was my fate once to occupy
bedroom opposite steam sawmill
At $50 o'clock, just when l was
plunged in the most delicious slumber
the sound of the carts of wood arriving
woke me, the work-people filed in, the
saw was set going. When, little
later, l sleepily arose and walked to the
window, there was everything in full
swing. the brilliant summer morning
in it's glory, the dew still standing on
the grass. a sense of moisture and YER
dure in the air, the whole creation to
live and labor All through the hot
morning, while a lounge under cool
green trees seemed to me the only pos
sible existence, that mill creaked and
snorted, Kissed and sawed without in
Permission. Men, singly or in groups,
ran in and ont like ants, Offering host
ages to its greedy nav. A short pause
for dinner, and then, during that long,
fiery afternoon, which seemed as
though it would never end, the mill
Numbered, while hot and dirty men,
their faces black with sweat, cut and
blamed and hammered in the sun,
whose rays fell vertically, burning as
they fell. The shadows heightened, the
very birds lay still, hushed by the
tropical heat, the grasshoppers ceased
to chirrup-only the sawmill still re-
lentleesly worked on. Then from my
cool vantage ground, as l watched the
endless toll, l felt at last that l knew
the meaning of work, of that constant
grinding labor that leaves no respite,
that bows mems backs and burrows
their faces. and marks off the toilers
from the idlers with as grim brand as
life knows how to fashion, which
makes men prematurely old, and leaves
them to die hopelessly when they are
no longer of any use. 1t was evening.
The little stars began to peep out tim
idly one by one from the pale blue twi-
light. all nature had dropped into
quiet, the plain was filled with shadow,
when slowly, regretfully almost as it
seems. the men plodded out YEARLY
along the dusty road, the horses were
harnessed to the heavy wagons, and the
last echoing creak of the wheels died
away in the distance. The days labor
was over, and, tired out myself by the
mere realization of its meaning, crept
away to bed"

taken a firm hold, fired a shot which
struck the emperor in the head, caus-
ing a painful wound. This was the
first of a series Of outrages extending
down to the present time.
Frederick William w of Prussia was
fired at in the spring OF 1851, the shot
breaking his arm. There is some
doubt that the assailant in this in
stance, Sefoloque, was an anarchist,Dut
subsequent events left no doubt that
the men of that order had William as
one of their special objects. In 1861
Oscar, student with anarchistic
theories, fired twice at King William,
but the monarch escaped unhurt. In
May 1878, when William w. of Prussia
had become Emperor William l. of
Germany, his life was again attempted.
Anarchist Lehman, man with several
aliases, and a record of fanaticsm,
fired three shots at the emperor, who
was seated in carriage with the
Duchess of Baden. In May of the same
year Emperor William was the target

at the imperial carriage as it drove

The commission appointed by the
British parliament, and of which Lord
Rothschild was chairman, has reported
against the advisability Of the estab-

United Kingdom. 1t is declared that
prudence, occidental and self-reli-
ance' on their own part were the real
means of helping the working classes.

Gold Leaf In Bibles,

From the Ceylon Standard: 1t seems
that gold leaf for decorative purposes
is, as a regular matter of business,
packed in little books made up of the
unbound packages of holy writ cut
to the requisite size for the purpose
and stitched together. On inquiry
learn that the practice of packing the
material in this way is well-estab-
lished one, and that the Bible is Sc
lected for this purpose because, as a
rule, the type is more evenly set and
the printing generally finer and better
executed. On the other hand, I hear
from other sources that the use Of the
Bible is looked upon as sort Of guar
antee that the leaf is of the best pos
sible quality. 1t appears that the book
Of common prayer is also employed for
the same purpose. Gold-leaf books are
made up and supplied to the trade by
an enterprising firm In Birmingham.
An enterprising man in London also
supplied them. 1t is evident that the
books are made up from the sheets in
which they leave the press and before
they are folded.

Lehman was executed for his attempt
and Nobiling committed suicide. Both
were anarchists Of the most rabid type,
and the latter a university professor.
What seems to have been an anarch-
list plot eliminated in the firing Of two
shots at Victor Emmanuel of Italy in
1853, but without wounding him.
Ferdinand Charles ILL.,, Duke of Par
ma, was stabbed to death on March 20,
1854. The assassin was not captured,
but the crime was attributed to the
Bakunin theories then taking root
among the dissatisfied elements.
Attempts Against Napoleon III.
Napoleon III. Of France suffered
probably a dozen attempts upon his life
between 1852 and 1868, most Of which
are attributed to anarchists rather than
other political malcontents. Three
times his life was attempted by assas-
sins firing at him in the streets and
once by a bomb explosion as the en-
peror was entering the opera. Other
plots were discovered in time to thwart
the assassins. The attempts against
Napoleon III. began in 1852 with the
construction of an Internal machine,
which was found at Marseilles before
the makers had an opportunity to use
it. In 1857 three anarchists, ltallans
who claimed to be Garibaldians, were
executed for coming to Paris and plot
ting against the emperor.
Queen Amalia Of Greece was the VIC
tim in 1862 of an attempt by student
Anarchist named Dassios, who fired
a shot at the queen, missing her,
King Humbert Of Italy was the CEN
ter of interest in a Naples parade IN
1878. when an anarchist named Pas
sannate made a sudden thrust at the
king with knife fastened to the end
Of banner pole, which the man had
carried in the parade. The king
quickly drew his sword and struck the
assassin on the head before he had
time to repeat the first unsuccessful
thrust. Thirty Italian anarchists were
arrested as connected with this at
tempt. On April % of last year Italy's
ruler was again attacked as he was
driving to the race course by an an
archistic ironworker. The king ward
ed off the dagger, and the anarchist
went to the galleys for life.

Modern Olympian Games.

Efforts have already been started ia
secure the selection Of an American
city for the third series Of internation-
al athletic games on the Baron de Cou-
bertin foundation. These games are to
be held every four years at places Sc
lected by the international Olympian
committee, body of fifteen men rep
resenting as many countries, the presi-
dent being a citizen of the country des-
ignated to be the seat of the coming
games. The first of these games was
held in Athens, Greece, in 1896; when
Paris was selected for the second Sc
ries, in 1900. The date Of the third,
1904, is yet some time ahead, but as
the place for holding it will be chosen
and the special committee to organize
the games will be appointed in 1900,
it has been deemed advisable to start
an early agitation in favor of an Am
erican city. Should present efforts
succeed, the president for the 1904
games will be Professor w. M. Sloane
Of Princeton university.

1t is true that some cooperative en-
terprises flourish despite competition.
These enterprises, as an almost IN
variable rule, are of such nature that
competition is not fierce, and that the
cooperative method of production Is

other kind. Thus, cooperative cream
