LONDON COACHES.
Those in Queen Eliz~beth's Time We're
Strao~s Monsters.

Ahoso IN queen EHxADoth's Time We're
Strange Monsters.
Riding was the only alternative to
wall inE at the beginning Of Eliza
beth's reign, and lady never rode
without six or seven serving men to
carry attire suitable to all contingen-
cies. and the means to repair a toilet
which might suffer on the Journey. To
diminish this cost coaches came into
use. They were introduced in 1900 by
a Dutch coachman Of the queen; but
we are told "a coach was a strange
monster in those days. and the sight
of it put both man and horse into
amazement; some said 1t was great
crabshell brought out of China, and
some imagined it to be the pagan
temples in which the cannibals wor-
SHIPPED the devil" But at length these
doubts were cleared and coachmaking
became substantial trade. So rapid
was the increase of coaches that in
1901 an act OF parliament was passed
Ito restrain the excessive and super
fluous use Of coaches within this
realm" In spite of this innovation
no method could be devised which
made locomotion pleasant through
streets which were alternately tor
rents of dirt finding thsir way to the
Fleet ditch, and thick deposits of black
mud, which furnished a ready weapon
to any one who wished to express dis
appreciation. 1t is difficult for us to
picture London without either cabs
or omnibuses.-Bishop Of London, in

WHERE ARE We DRIFTING?

WHERE ARE WE, DRIFTING?
The greed for gold is the power
that rules this commerciallysmad
nation. Mothers sell their daugh-
tiers to the highest bidder. Fathers
drill their sons in commercial rob>
berry and call it shrewdness. Broth>
ers force their sisters into the world
of labor to shift for themselves and
often to fall the prey of the money
ed man who can provide better for
them than they can for themselves.
We are drifting to gold basis, not
alone in the government of our
country, but in our homes, our
social life, in everything pertaining
to existence. We lie down at night
impatient for the morrow to arrive.
We are up and on the run all day.
1t is "Give us gold, gold, gold"
We tread upon the PROSTATE forms
OF those who have fallen in the
great rush for precious metal. We
hear the cry Of a widow, an orphan,
the sick, the lame, but we have no
time to halt and lend a helping
hand. We commit crime every
day tor that which we believe the
only happiness. We no sooner rise
than we kick over the ladder upon
which we climbed. Brother swin>
dies brother, father robs son, wife
steals from husband. Do anything.
everybody Just so you gain gold.
We meet as friends at social func-
ton, but as enemies in business.
There is nothing we will not do to
crush out the competition Of our
fellow man. We look upon him as
an enemy when he enters busi,
ness field. If we would have reli>
gion we must pay price for it.
II we would be well thought of we
must purchase the esteem of our
neighbors. Ii we would marry we
must take our bank book along
and exhibit it to the fond mother
who desires golden" future for
her daughter. Men do not die for
women these days, neither do wo-
men pine for men. Get the gold
and l am yours. Fail and will
take the man who has the largest
bank account. A man must be we'll
dressed to be in society. A woman
must attire herself in garments
from the waist DOWN that would
have killed our grandmothers to
look upon, much less wear, to be a
leader in the social swim. Never
mind her purity of mind or body,
if she has the gold. the clothes and
all the other frills that go to make
up successful entertainer, she is
the queen. No matter what a man s
morality, no matter how coarse his
mode Of life, if he be possessed of
the yellow metal he can rule.

1t was, when honor and principle
stood before the dollar. 1t was
when the American workingman
was king in himself. He was
worthy Of his hire and political
questions played little part in his
daily existence. Things are differ
ent now. Today he must turn to
the centralized capital for his daily
bread. There are fewer branches of
industry to furnish him means of
escape from a tyrannical master.
He finds that where two men were
employed previously now there is
only one. If he is willing to work
for small wages then he can secure
work, if not he must seek whatever
he can get to do that will provide
bread for the mouths of the hungry
children at home. If he has few
dollars in bank and desires to start
business he meets competition in
the hands OF few that crush him.
If he refuses to handle Standard oil
that company comes into his city
and gives it away. He must cease
the sale OF that article. If he be a
butcher and does not buy from the
trust, he soon finds himself unable
to supply his customers, for the
trust will send in meat SO cheap
that he cannot sell at profit. No
matter which way he turns he is
confronted with this octopus.
Eventually he has spent his dollars
and must turn again to toll tor
bread. He Immediately encroaches
upon the field of labor and so soon
as surplus Of labor is in the field
from this cause a reduction of
wages follows. Unionism stands
strong when conditions favor it, but
a hungry babe will cause man to
commit crime to provide for it.
Thus the workingman is wholly
at the mercy of the capitalist of the
country. If he engage in prospects
ing he must sell his property for
small consideration or he is refused
capital to develop it., If he would
be farmer a price is set upon his
products year in advance. If he
be cattle raiser he is driven from
the range by the cattle combination.
If he has valuable property in
mining district he is assailed by
the capitalist and forced to sell to
avoid litigation.-Aspen Democrat.

To the Common Council of Emporium:
GENTLEMEN:-It seems to be beyond
question that there is more drunken
ness and disorder on our streets than
the citizens care to put up with, and l
believe that the appointment of anoth-
er policeman would meet with public
approval. The East Ward is certainly
entitled to more protection than it now
receives and think that with one more
policeman all sections of the Borough
could be properly protected. Any ac-
tion you may take looking to the ap-
pointment of good, sober, reliable
man, at a fair compensation will meet
with my hearty approval. A cheap
policeman is dear at any price.
