The Iron HridE~ Mentioned ia.'I.iitle Dor

Ny reference few days since to
the growing difficulty Of recognizing
various portions Of Dickens London,
with special allusion Tea the lost name
Of the iron bridge mentioned in Lit
tie Dorrit, has brought me more than
one question rs to the locality Of that
structure. Ina point Of fact, it is now
known as Southwark bridge, which, al
though 1t crosses the Thames IN the
very heart of the city bring situate
between Blackfriars aud London
bridges--is the least frequented Of all
on the river, partly because Of its very
bad gradients, but mainly because, COM
ing from everywhere in general, IL
leads to nowhere in particular. Even
Its one literary association is unknown
to its frequenters because of the
change of name, and some admirer of
Dickens should label it in the fashion
comparatively recently adopted in the
churchyard of ST. George the Martyr
in the borough.
The Marshalsea prison used to stand
adjacent to this churchyard. and when
il was abolished its destruction was so
complete that even its site seemed
likely to be forgotten. Now, however,
two large plaques have been affixed to
the wall calling attention to the cir
cumstance that the debtors prison
immortaliZed in Little Dorrit' once
stood there. 1t might have been added
that the whole of that immediate dis
trict is classic ground for the Dickens
lover, for hard by is still to be seen an
unspoiled fragment of the old coaching
inn where Sam Weller first was met
by Mr.. Pickwick, with its double tier
of bedroom galleries, with old clumsy
balustrades, running round two sides
of the Struggling area. while within
a gunshot is Liant street. where Mrs.

be sure that he will quit when he gets
through" and only then, because he
evolves such decision from his inner
consciousness, and not because Of any,

have strained every nerve, exerted all
their influence, striven with all their
power, to hold back the government
from war, and that this righteous con-
flict is on is due not to the wishes of the
plutocracy, but to the influence of the
aroused conscience of mighty, JUS
tice-loving people, who regard the re-
lief of suffering nation as their para
mount duty, and who care not at all
if the ensuing shock of war should
SILVER the props of dozen thrones
and involve a wholesale and whole
some destruction of the triune aristoc-
racy-royalty, nobility and wealth.
War is not an unmiXed calamity;
peace is not an unalloyed blessing.
Each has its chapter CT horrors. Each
has its tale of invasion, of pillage, Of
determination, and of conquest. But
a prolonged peace gives nation spe-
cies of dry-rot, and it is we'll that we
are awakened today by call to arms
in such righteous cause, for verify
it seemed, judging by the constant sue
cession of victories won over the peo-
Pile by our modern captains of industry,
our leaders of commerce, our organic
ers of trusts, as if our national con-
.cience had been drugged to eternal
somnolence But every era of great
physical science has in the past marked
an epoch of intellectual advancement,
and do not in the least doubt that the
present history marking crisis will
prove no exception. For the present
it is enough for manhood in America
in particular and throughout the world
in general to rejoice that Spain, the
eternal enemy to progress, freedom and
enlightened thought, is at last brought
to bay, and her dying struggles should
evoke no more sympathy than the final

Forcing the Issues.

Trade unions are gradually forcing
the great labor issues into public view.
The worlds best minds are commenc-
ing to realize that there is a labor
question and an issue that will not
down. We hold the trades-union move
ment will grow more rapidly in the
future than it has at any time in the
past, as it now has contributing sourc-
es while 1t had only one in the past.
Formerly our movement drew only
from the skilled and manual workers,
while today the law Of the survival Of
the fittest," but more largely aided by
the trust and combinations of capital,
is rapidly driving the small business
man out of existence as so-called small
business men or middle classes, and in
to the ranks Of those struggling for an
existence. These people will not want
to go back in their manner of living
any further than they can possibly pre-
vent, and will naturally embrace the
trade unions as the only logical and
present means of maintaining the
standard of life. We anticipate great
changes in the social and economic
status of our country during the next
fifteen years and a rapid growth and
increase of strength of the trades-union

The War and Organized Labor.

From the Federationist: I atti-
tude of labor unions in the impending
struggle between our country and
Spain will furnish food for thought on
the part Of those superior beings who
heretofore have had but little sympathy
with the aims and purposes of labor
organizations. War among working
men is not recognized as the best meth
cd of promoting general welfare, but
experience has demonstrated that ty-
ranny and oppression as applied to
governments have seldom been over
thrown without an appeal to the gauge
of battle. In this instance the bond of
sympathy between the citizens of the
United States and the struggling inhab-
itants of Cuba has nowhere found more
active promotion than in labor's ranks.
Trades unions flourish only in coun-
tries where liberty is recognized as a
natural right. Instead of being inim-
ical to the growth and development
of free government, labor organizations
keep alive spirit of manhood and in
dependence in their members, and the
cause of humanity, not the greed of
aggression finds in the workingmen's
ranks it's best defenders, because they
have felt the force of oppression.
Spain, with her blind and barbaric
system of government, brushes labor
at home and robs it abroad. In her AFRO
gance she has for more than genera
tion committed outrages upon the citi-
zens of the United States, finally muir
dering the crew of the Maine in the
most cowardly and brutal manner. The
army of this nation will be recruited
from the ranks Of toll, always loyal
to the cause represented by the flag
of freedom. Happily the working peo-
pie will be in position to deliver a
blow at the common enemy of humani-
ty and at the same time demonstrate
that unionism means high-minded, pa
triotic citizenship.
