TRADES UNIONS OF TODAY.

A short time ago FIVE thousand
union cloakmakers in New York
forced the manufacturers to sign
wage agreements for the coming
year.
This news was printed in brief
paragraph in the press dispatches.
A similar item appears every few
weeks. What sensation such ac-
ton would have created fifty years
ago. Yet today it only goes to
show the appreciation of the pro-
gress that has been made in the
organization Of labor.
Today the right to belong to 3
labor union is almost as unques-
toned as the right to breathe.
Some employers still discriminate
against union labor. The same
fellows would corner air and sun
shine and retail it if they could.
They are few in number, however.
The majority of men, capitalists
and workers alike, mean to be fair
and to do what is just. Because
the determination of labor TO organ
lie was just, the opposition to it
has quickly disappeared, and what
was once merely a determined claim
Ahas now become almost recognized
and vested right.
Some individuals have predicted
that the country would 60 to smash
a six months ''if the time ever
came when a man could not man
ge his own business. But we

have not gone to smash far from
it. We have lately gone into an
extensive new deal in real estate.
All that labor organization means
all that it ever can mean, as sem
sible men saw from the frst-is
that it can force an employer to be
fair. Fair men have never been
seriously troubled by labor unions,
even in the years when they were
learning how to organize and were
making mistakes. Thoughtless,
tyrannical, mean men, with bad
advisers, have been troubled good
deal. They are wiser now and bet
ter and have learned a valuable
lesson.
Labor unions say that employers
shall not compel men to work over
time without extra pay; that they
must give them as safe and whole
some place to work in as possible,
and that they must refrain from
petty meanness and tyranny and
discrimination which might be in
flicted on individuals if they were
single-handed. No fair-minded en-
ployer can object to this programme.
No sensible, well-officered union
asks anything which is unfair. If
it should, it is almost sure to be
beaten.
All the results of organized labor
have been good. Shorter hours,
the self-respect that comes from
membership in an organization
which will protect a man from
wrong, the discipline of organizing
and winning the fight, have inn
proved the temper and manhood of
those who do the nations work.
The future of our civilization is in
TRjRands of organized labor.

him man to use such language, and it
is noble work in which these societies
are engaged. There is a society of this
kind in this city at St. Louis Bertrand
church, and it embraces goodly portion
of the male members of that congrega-
ton. BY earnest and persistent efforts
on the part of each member the member
ship could be doubled in short time,
and it is the earnest wish of the directors
that it should be done. They approach
the holy sacraments ON the second Sun
day of each month.

A PLEA FOR THE STUDY OF THE
IRISH LANGUAGE.

Every nation has its own tongue,
its annals and legends. Not one is
richer in these particulars than the
Celtic. On account of the cruelty
practiced against our forefathers.
their language being forbidden them
as well as their religion. the mother
tongue in many parts of Ireland
was dropped and English substi-
tuted in its place. Consequently
in the homes of Irish people our
ears are not accustomed to its use.
Children often ask what it is like
and why it is not spoken, saying
that German, Italian and French
can be heard at any time; but not
so the Celtic. A living proof that
the English have got the better of
us, lasting illustration of Our own
stupidity, if we allow this to go on,
and relegate the language of saints
and historians, of poets and theolo-
gians, to the back shelves and out
of-the-way drawers of Our libraries.
Let the Irish Renaissance that
has been going on of late years
I across the ocean be introduced
among us, and our educated men
land women who have time for study
take up the neglected branch and
learn its beauties. If the rush for
money has hitherto left our people
with little time for intellectual
work, they can at least teach. the
younger generation a respect and
love for this ancient language, and
tell them how it comes that it is not
commonly spoken wherever the Celt
has immigrated into America.
fM2nena race without its own
distinctive tongue HSnm
Gus, how debnsed. how nothing !
Without history, without liter
ature In the heart of Africa there
might exist such a stunted, starved
monstrosity, but not in Erin. Her
music and her folklore, plentiful
enough to fill immense libraries,
are the loveliest and most spiritual
in the world. Can more be said?
How demoniacal the hatred and
how far-seeing the cruel policy of
government that forbade to peo-
pie the use of its own language
Let us fool them.
Too long has it lain cold and neg
lected but if we lay it close to our
hearts the warmth will revive it
and we may reasonably hope to see
it thrive and grow.

represented by President Mckinley,
the future control of the Philippines
was to be left to the decision of the
Peace Commissioners. Nothing
that transpired after this solemn
pact was signed could alter the
agreement. All the fine talk about
territorial expansion, manifest des-
tiny, and so forth, may be passed
by as the idle wind. Manifest duty
was our impelling motive in going
to war manifest duty must be our
guiding star in closing it. The
path of duty now lies in the scru-
pulous observance of our agreement
with Spain and passing by the in
elements of the expansionists as
insulting temptations. We do not
desire our President to rank in his
tory with such personages as Fred
erick the Great or William of Or
ange, the shameless breakers of
treaties and royal promises.
Peace, we are confident, is now
fully assured, and with the return
of peace we have right to antici-
pate a return of that prosperity
which has been banished for too
long a period by Our unsettled do
nestle concerns in the first place,
and by the outbreak of war in the
second. We here in Philadelphia
have suffered more severely than
any other locality, perhaps, by
these unfavorable conditions. We
have been especial sufferers from
the war and the protracted disturb
ances in Cuba which preceded it.
The full extent to which we have
been affected by these causes can
never be known, but we can form
some notion of the loss from the
statistics of our imports and ex-
ports. From these it appears that
Our trade with Cuban ports since
the instruction broke out has
dwindled almost to nothing. -Four
years ago the imports amounted to
twenty million dollars; last year
they produced only two millions.
How calamitous such a loss was to
the city can easily be estimated.
Many a poor trader must have been
ruined, and many working house
hold driven to the wall in conse-
quence of the withdrawal of such a
vast sum from the general fund.
We believe that, without being
accused of over-optimism, we may
look for a speedy revival of Our
vanished prosperity, now that the
channels of legitimate trade are no
longer given over to the mining and
countermining of destructive war.
In state of war a few persons
make fortunes, but millions are
made to feel the pinch of poverty.
1t is on the poor the burden falls
the stress of additional taxation,
the deprivation of the household
bread-winners, the cessation of the
employment in the factory, and,
last but not least, the agonizing
sorrow for those who fall on the
field or are brought home to die a
lingering death, shorn of limb and
the means Of earning a mans live
lihood. These things are little
needed by the selfish traffickers in
war and the thoughtless crowd.
But they are the one element in the
situation which appeals to the phi
lanthropist and the patriot. 1t is
to secure peace the soldier fights,
and it is the conquest of peace
which the nation celebrates when it
celebrates victory.

the train, each man grasping his hand as
he passed out.
Finally the bell rang and the train
moved on amid the cheers of the people,
the music of the band and the booming

the rear platform waving adieu to the
multitude. BY his side stood Judge

A Little TWiSter.

Last Tuesday night, about IL O'Clock,
Garnet had her first cyclone. 1t was "a
little one, though, making a track less
than forty feet wide. 1t was a lively
little twister, however and did quite a
bit of damage.
The storm came in at the southwest
corner of town; and Travelled in north
easterly direction, but, only passed over
about half the distance across the town
in a diagonal direction for it seemed TO
have lost it's force when it reached E. E.
Masterman's residence, where it blew
down few cherry trees
The first place the storm struck was
the home of A. Beisscll, where it tore
down some sheds. Then it uprooted
some trees for {. A. Monroe and blew
one of Mr. Cartwright's chimney down.
Mrs Jas. Mclaughlin barn was lifted
from its foundation, leaving the horse
and buggy standing unframed.
Then it proceeded on its way, stripping
shingles from roofs, moving out-houscs,
breaking windows and uprooting trees
or stripping them of leaves and branches.
Taking everything into consideration,
old Borcas let Garnett of mighty easy
just gave us a good scare, as If To say,
"Now will you be good!'
