STEALING CAPITOL FURNITURE.

In an account of the disgraceful proceed
ings of the last legislature in Harrisburg,
the New York Voice says:
Two days after the capitol building burned,
the legislature met over the postoffce. and a
member from Philadelphia asked the privi-
lege of taking home his chair and desk which
he had rescued from the flames. Representa-
tive Perry NJ. Lyle of Huntington county,
arose and said:
This is a very strange request to make.
This gentleman couldn't have been long
about Harrisburg nor familiar with the ways
of the legislature, or he would have known
that if he saw anything belonging to the
state which he particularly desired. all that
he had to do was to take it, and ask no ques-
TONS
"Thereupon resolution was passed author
izing any legislator to take anything that
he wanted to, provided he rescued it from the
fire.
zone York county member lugged home
russet-leather lounge and chair beside hat
rack and desk
zone member stole enough furniture to
furnish whole house for his red-headed mis-
tress, who lived not far from the corner of
Fourth and PETER streets in Harrisburg.
''After the members had carried off all they
chose, the legislature appropriated $4,000
for some more furniture"
And this occurred in that gold
bug, sound money, National
honor old commonwealth, the
state of Pennsylvania.
Hurrah for sound money and
National honor. 1t is a good
thing for some people, of course,
but does it suit you?

The thought of Industrial Free
dom is one of the most fasclna-
ting thoughts that come to our
toilers as they continue to grind
away their lives in dismal and
unrequited struggles for masters
who care nothing about the con-
dition of labor.
The hope of securing the free
dom for themselves and their de-
scendants must be a noble inspira-
ton and one that steadily beck
ons them on, and on.
This is the most hopeful and
the most cheerful Of any reform
now claiming the attention of the
world of labor, and tousit seems
easiest of realization.
Our paper will be conducted in
the interests of this reform, the
freedom of the industrial classes
of all countries.

McCabe, a bishop, whatever
that may be, says that the poor
man depends upon the rich.
He does, but why? Simply and
solely because by chicanery, arti-
flee and cunning the rich man has
robbed the honest toiler; and then
when this toiler shivers in the
cold this sweet-scented hypocrite
says: THE poor man depends
upon the rich" and he goes still
further and denounces the victim
because he does not submit to be
robbed still further. If our de-
vout (?)bishop would exert his
arts in an effort to open the eyes
of the sordidly rich to the evil of
their ways he would deserve more
and receive more at the hands of
honest men all over the world.
This learned bishop may proba-
bly, deceive himself into a belief of
such driveling nonsense, but he
cannot long deceive anyone else.

The silly objection to Socialism that it
wants to divide up" is still made by the
thoughtless who do not know that 1t was
ong since exploded, as well as by the dis
honest who know better, but lack the moral
courage to lie on the right side. The fact
is that Socialism seeks to stop division ac-
cording to the rule of capitalism, which has
brought about the following result in the:
United States: The nation is composed of
the working class 80 per cent; the middle
class,3 per cent. the CAPT talist class, o per
cent. The national wealth is owned by.
working class, per cent; middle class, "A
per cent; capitalist class II per cent.
Here you have the outcome Of dividing
up according to the rule which capitalists
approve. You see we don't need to look for
a system TO divide up;" such a system is
already here.-Social Democratic Herald.
What we want is TO stop iniqui-
tous dividing and substitute the
right to use all you earn.

No man ever yet earned q mil
lion dollars in q week, month or

into possession of so much money
in so short time he has had to
do some lusty plundering. Some
people call the methods used bust
ness methods, but all of us know
that a change of names does not
alter the essential nature of the

A SOFT ANSWER.

A tramp steamer had just been tied to q
wharf in Boston. From her dingy hold there
leaped upon the dock man who was evident
ly stoker. He was black with CRIME, reck-
less of face, eager for release from an almost
unbearable confinement, and ready for any
animal qualification for which he could find
opportunity.
AS he emerged upon the main street, look
ing probably for the nearest saloon, he saw a
colored woman walking sedately toward him,
carrying basket of apples. Full of mischief
the stoker stumbled against her. upset the
basket upon the pavement, and then stood
aside to laugh at the invectives which he
supposed his trick would bring forth.
But the old colored woman did not even
look at her tormentor. She bent and quietly
picked up her apples There was not even an
expression of resentment upon her face She
bent here and stopped there, and when she
had recovered her last apple she turned upon
the astonished man with pathetic dignity
that forced respect, and said in tones of kind
ness:
God forgive you, my son, as do.
The rudeness that had counted on bitter
berating was softened in an instant. The
mans coarse lips parted, his hard eyes fell,
he tried to speak: then he thrust his hands
into his pockets and pulled out all the silver
that he had. This he forced upon the silent
woman.
''Take it," he said, and then added, as she
looked at him in establishment, God bless
you, mother. I'll never do it again.
That which is probably one of the hardest
sayings of Christ to accept, one that has re-
ceived the ridicule of centuries is illustra-
ted by this incident. The principle involved
in the command to turn the other cheek to
the smiter is utterly antagonistic to natural
human impulse. ga soft answer turneth
away wrath" is a form of presentation of the
same principle, that in theory, at least, is
somewhat readily acknowledged, and its truth
was never more emphatically verified than in
the incident we have described. Trio.
Such line of conduct is abso-
lutely irresistible. 1t will unarm
the most hardened and it will fill
the life of those who practice it
with JOY and gladness.

SOCIALIST DEMANDS.

The Socialist Labor party with the
founders of this republic hold that the
true theory of politics is that the ma
chinery of the government must be
held by the people. Socialists hold
furthermore, that the true theory of
economies is that the machinery of
production must likewise belong to
the people in common, but through
the perverson of democracy to the
ends of plutocracy, labor is robbed of
the wealth which it alone produces; it
is denied the means of self-emplov-
ment, and by compulsory idleness in
wage slavery is even deprived of the
necessaries of life. We further hold
and declare that the hours of labor
shall be reduced in proportion to the
progress of production. The United
States shall obtain possession of the
railroads, canals, telegraphs, tele-
phones, and all other means of public
transportation and communications
that municipalities obtain possession
of the local railroads, ferries, water
works, gasworks, electric plants, and
all industries requiring municipal fran
chiSeS; school education of all children
under fourteen years ofage be compul-
sorry, gratuitous and accessible to all
by public assistance in meals, clothing,
etc, when necessary; that all unem-
ployed be employed by the public
authorities-city, county, state and
natiOn.-Examiner.

An interesting interview occurred be- tween the octogenarians. MT. MoT- Till referred to his four score and eight years with some pride. MT. Gowan is four years his junior.
 ''I suppose you have no member of your senate who is my equal in years?" queried the Vermont states man.

standpoint and affecting Lis views.
For my escane, and for the faithful
devotion which made that escape pos

full to Almighty God. But when I
think of the happy, hopeful young
priest who reached Delen in the end of
1881, who spent his leisure hours col
lecting natural history specimens, I can
scarcely realize that he is the man who
worn, prematurely aged, emaciated
with disease and starvation, in fear of
his life, fed across the desert at the
end of 1891. The horrors of those ten

of my escape to Omdurman and conse-
quently Father Bononi was supposed
to be the only captive at Ell Obeid. The

refused to go beyond his instructions,
and one Of the bitterest moments Of nv
