We are often told that the best
and onlyway to evade the misery
of poverty is to be industrious
and frugal, but we look about us
and see thousands upon thous-
ands who are Industrious and
frugal and they are also misera-
ably poor and wretched. At the
same time we behold people ar
rayed III fine linen and yet they
Observation-Disclosures nor frugal.
They ride IN fine equipages, and
have uniformed footmen to do
their bidding and they look scorn-
fully upon those industrious, fru-
gal people who have been foolish
enough 10 take the advice of those
who have been plundering instead
OF following the advice so liber-
ally given. Is this not little
strange?

He Wants One Strong Paper.

Comrades: hope that you and tbe
other colony organizations of your
state, such as the Cooperative Broth
erhood, will issue but one paper. +
is easier to get subscribers for one
good paper than for several Door
ones, besides it is a waste of labor to
issue paper for each organization
when such organizations aim at the
same purpose.

A RELIC OF BARBARIsM.

The Christian pulpit should decry
and denounce war as a relic ofbarbar
ism, the enemy of civilization, as alb
solutely opposed to the genius of
Christianity.-Rev. Fl. w Pinkham.
Baptist, Denver, Colo.
Competition is war, waste, havoc;
it is the very acme of all that is ruin
Gus; it is anarchy, and is subject to
every denunciation hurled against
war.

Wedo not decry political action

GUS weapon unless he who would
essay TO handle it is on an equal
footing with his adversary, and
under existing conditions few
toilers can claim to be economi-

capitalistic masters. Give us

When a great philanthropist
feels that the first great cause is
in need OF funds, he cuts down the
wages of his slaves and then
makes & great name for himself
by donating a portion of his

know of it, are greatly surprised
at the almost boundless interest
expressed for the success OF Equal
ity colony. From every CONT
nent and from the islands of the
sea, come words of comfort and
good cheer.
The faith, and the hope and the
trust of thousands to whom the
persons i'll Equality are strangers
is revelation and surely tells
volumes for the strength Of ties
that bind us together. The ca
gerness with which every item OF
news respecting our colony and
it's methods, is seized by those
whose environments prevent
them from coming to the front, is
matter of astonishment, and has
become an inspiration to those
who toll and struggle to bring
order and beauty out of the chaos
which now exists.
Letters come to us from all
over the world, asking for
every little detail Of management,
and many of the writer's of these
letters reveal great perception,
rare good judgment, but quite Of
ten the writer betrays a suspicion
that all is not well in Equality.
Often we are asked if we are har-
monious, and usually the writer
hints that want of harmony
must of necessity result in the
destruction of this, the grandest
effort of any age to inaugurate the
reign of justice.
We answer frankly that we are
not always harmonious, nor
could anyone expect us to be SO.
1t is not even necessary that we
should be 50, for actual expert
ence teaches us that some of our
most valuable lessons have been
learned in a conflict of opinions
and interests.
In no period of history has there
been harmony during a vigorous
mental or moral growth. We
now think there can be no mark
ed growth without fierce conflict,
and SO it is that nearly all Equal
ityites rather welcome than dis
parage conflict of opinion. At
such times we anticipate reach
ing new planes of progress and
new heights of glory, and we gen
orally realize all that we antici-
pate.
Our discussions, while ANNA
ted, are usually conducted with
decorurn, but when any of our
people transgress the rules gener-
ally observed by gentlemen and
ladies, they are Inundated there
by, and as a result they become
more cautious in all future dis
cussions.
This is a mark of progress and
always encouraging, and it is this
feature of our little collisions that
gives us such bright hopes for the
future.
AS well tell the boy that he
must learn to swim before ven
turing near the water as to tell
our people that they must be-
come polished, refined, ready and
polite without experience in such
arts. We, in Equality, do not
use guns, but some of us hurl
pointed remarks at our oppo-
nents, and then when the storm
is over and the sun of peace shines

SARAH WARD TEMPLE.

Oh, dark is the background to the
sunny landscape of our comfortable
lives. Behind our rich houses and
costly comforts are bleak rooms and
worn clothes, through which the
wintry wind drives its dagger; where
starvation creeps into the bed with
mother and child, and eats into the
blood and bone; where, at the best,
life is long and weary strife against
the force oflaws which pitilessly inhict
their worst sentence upon the innocent
and weak. This is CHASTITY burden,
and it lies heavy upon millions in this
country.-S. Brooke

A DEPLoRABLE SPECTACLE.

Our prosperity howlers are now
holding high carnival; they are now
footing their tom-toms, firing anvils
and drinking costly champaign. BY
this we are forcibly reminded of that
historic scene in which the Hon. %
Senator Hanna was the central figure
and from whom emanated that classic
sentence: "God.reigns and the repub-
lican party still lives
1t is not known that recent scenes
and events have inspired any remarks
of equal note with this utterance of
the model Ohioan, but if the intellectual
productions are less noted the accom-
pa1liments of drunkenness and pro-
family are not less marked.
The corrupt and corrupting practices
of modern political deals, are fast ia
1niliarizing It's with scenes of evil
which would have shocked the most
debased of our earlier days. If not
checked, what must be the end? All
agree that an awful destruction
awaits this nation unless the career of
crime is ended, and yet there are, APP
parently, no efforts made to bring
about better conditions.
Repeated successes have made Our
political hucksters insolent, naughty,
confident and persistent in their fixed
resolution to rule for personal gain.
Demands which, at one time, would
have been considered brazen effrontery,
are now made with absolute assur-
ance that they will be granted as a
matter of course.
Had the republican party made
such campaign twenty years ago,
as it made this fall, prediction that
it would be speedily buried would
have been verified, beyond doubt, but
now a vile record is the most enchant-
ing recommendation to those who
corral voters for a consideration.
A record that can neither be denied,
nor defended, is lookedupon by the po-
litical buzzards as an heirloom of I'M
common value, and it is accorded the
same tender treatment that Chinese
bestows upon his loss.
So-called Christians are some of the
most relentless and INSCRIPTIONS in
their manipulation of political forces,
and ministers, in their pulpits, apollo
gize for the most glaring departure
from principles of rectitude if only the
offender donates literally to the sup
port of the ministry.
All the agencies of modern society
are enlisted in the perpetuation of the
most debasing political practices that
have ever yet disgraced and degraded
humanity.
Are there no means by which the
great masses who are the victims of
the plundering schemes of our rulers,
can be made to rally to the support of
right, truth and justice? Reader, it is
your duty, and you should regard it
as a privilege, to join with other hon
est citizens in an honorable attempt
to put an end to the career of all po-
litical mountebanks. Will you do it
and strive to enlist others?

cal action is the only salvation
