The Blossom ARMY,

Why are the grave little pansy faces
In long procession assembled here?
And the violets' eyes bear dewy traces,
In their sweet blue depths of a
pearly tear?
Why, in the happy, bright May

Have the lovely flowers all met to-
gether,
From the forest hooks and the wild
wood places,
And the spicy gard far and ne.-?

a Zulu Bridegroom.

The daughter of Zulu in comfort
able circumstances does not leave her
fathers kraal without much pomp and
many queer rites, which doubtless are
held by her people in high estimation.
1t may be noted, too that the maria ye
customs of these dusky Africans are
subject to innumerable variations,
each tribe having its own peculiari
ties Hairdressing, by the way, is an
important feature both to the bride
and bridegroom, and the attention
paid to the coiffure of the pair would
shame the performance of a West end
hairdresser who arranges a brides
chaplet. A cone-shaped erection, for
instance, is the lawful coiffure of a
Zulu wife, and this cannot be legally
worn till the marriage rites are duly
completed. Save for the all-important
cone, the head of Zulu bride is close
ly shaved. an assegai being used for
the purpose; whilst, as soon as a
youth is of a marrageable age, his
head is shorn to leave a ring round
the scalp, and then literally besmear-
ed with fat and ochre, without which
unglents no Zulu would feel fittingly
decorated for his bride. When the
bridegroom m-elect has been shorn of all
his hair save the wool on the crown,
which is trained in circular shape
and some four inches in diameter, a
ring is sewn to this, of gum and char
coal; in this the Zulu thrusts long
snuff spoons. needles, and small utility
articles. and is very proud of his ring.

I'VE will close our mine and keep
it closed for twenty years before we
will recognize the miners union"
said the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
company to its miners when they
asked last Monday for union wages
and recognition of the union. To
fully understand the meaning of all
this it is necessary to understand
what constitutes a mining company
and miners union and the rights
one may have over the other if any.
A miners union is company Of
miners formed for the mutual bene
fit of all it's members, and the Bun
ker Hill is a mining company
formed for the mutual benefit of all
its members. Now what would the
world say of the miners union if it
would notify the Bunker Hill man
ayers that it would go on strike
and remain out twenty years before
it would recognize the company,
that the stock holders of the Bunker
Hill would have to treat individu-
ally with the union before any set
Element could be ma6e2 The whole
world would condemn the miners
union for any such action. Yet this
is exactly the same position taken
by the Bunker Hill company. They
demand that the miners shall treat
with their company, but refuse to
treat with any company the miners
may form. They demand a right
for themselves that they deny to
their own faithful employees. The
best thoughts of the men of the age
declare the rights of labor prior to
the rights of the balance of humani-
ty. Every member of the Bunker
Hill company was born to die. Not
one of them brought anything into
the world and not one of them will
take anything into the world to
come, and therefore they have no
moral or legal right to impose con-
ditions on others that they are not
willing to accept when imposed on

Modern Republicanism represer

Modern Republication represents
everything that is odious to- reformers.
1t stands for Imperialism, for tyranny,
for concentration of wealth in the
hands of the lew for crushing monop-
olies, for the rule of the dollar as
against intellect and character. Its
sun Is fast setting, and will go down
in imperishable gloom, night that
will know neither stars nor sunrise,
II is being smothered by the stencil Of
the embalmed horse flesh on which it
fed our heroes who fell on the bloody
slopes of San Juan. 1t is cursed by
the poor who are reduced by its ma
nipulation Of the dollar TO CALLING
serfdom. II has laid violent hands on
speech and essayed to throttle the
press. 1t stands for the worst de-
grading form of slavery, for it would
change the godlike mind and lay its
bastard embargo upon the eloquent
lip. Amid its wild bachanal revil,
strong in fancied security, drunk
with power and mad with spoil, APP
pears the hand of destiny writing its
doom in letters Of flame.
Democracy, on the contrary, repre-
SCENTS progress. 1t beralds the dawn.
Its reforms are practible. 1t does not

account the truth that in matters OF
reform it is bad policy to get too far in
advance of the people. 1t has an un
paralleled organization. Its leaders
are among the princes of the world in
all that makes men and women noble
1t behoOves, therefore, all true reform
ers to get into liue with this great
party. Division into rival camps
means only to iazard victory, or
rather it means the triumph of Mark
Hannaism. Such division will hinder
reform. 1t will delay the sunrise of
the new social order wherein will
