News came Monday that Frank
Sweeney, a brother of Mrs. C. e. Nell

ously injured. Later word was re-
ceived that he had died that evening.

Sweeney and Will Sweeney left yes

where the funeral was held.
Mr.. Sweeney was young man of
great promise and made many friends
among PhillipSburg people when he
used to run in here on the Rock Is
land. For some time past he has
been firing on the D. & R. G. railroad.
The accident, it appears, occurred
in the mountains west of Pueblo, but
we did not learn the particulars of
how it happened. Mr.. Sweeney leaves
a wife and one child besides his par
entS, brothers and sisters to mourn
his early death. The sympathy of d

FABLE OF THE FIRST COCOON.

Ancient the ages and ancient the forest,
When at the katydid's cali,
Beetles and butterflies, golden and gaudy,
Gathered to dance at q bail
Wild with waltz and the Ciddy mazurka,
Blind with the trollc and fun,
Never a butterfly noticed the fairies
Hiding and watohins-not one.
Out from the ambush Of boulder and berry,
Rushed the fast fairies, and ere
Any could vanish, the guests were imprisoned,
Caught by the fairy folk there.
"iiow can We dance If we haven't the gauzes,
Or follow the sweeps and the swings?
How can we do u" insisted the fairies,
Lacking the gduze and the wings?'
There in the berry hush, there in the forest,
Gathered the fairies about,
Plucking the wings of the beetles, and golden
Wings of the butterflies out,
Then, with the wings they had stolen, the rob.
bCrs,
Dancing around and around,
Floatcd and Hutered m magical measure
Scarcely toe on the ground.
Down in the ivy and down in the grasses
NinglcNS and ugy--n shame
Scattered the butterflies, broken in spirit,
Changed in their nature and name;
Once the companions Of linnet and robin,
p III the region OF sOngi
Now hut the wiggle'worn worms Of The wood.
land,
Creeping and crawling along
Blighted in beauty, and robbed Of the golden
Wings, and the motled and blue,
Wandered one worm in the dawn Of the autumn; /;
Then of the thistle and dew
Shelter it made tor the shame and the winter,
Made in the light of the moon
Such is the song Of the fairies-the simple
Song Of the hrst cocoon.

III 10 II, an fnEllSn
\N writer asks, that Cam
ada, a country of splen-
did natural resources,
capable of sustaining an enormous
popuation. does not develop in the same
ratio as the United States? lie then
points out that the fertility and nat
ural wealth of the dominion call for
poulation of 50000,000 instead of the
beggarly 5,33S,SS3 returned by the re-
cent census-an enumeration that, in
Ontario at least, included several
thousand Canadian-born persons who
had removed into the states, it being
rashy assumed tNat they would even
tually return--and he makes an elu-
quent plea for British capitalists to
take some of the millions now put by
them in hazardous South American
and South African investments, and to
use them in colonizing Canada's rich
waste places on large scale.
The United States" this writer con-
tinues, "have been built up entirely by
immigration. The men in authority in
the Yankee country realize that fact,
and they have secured Europe for
brawny workmcu to till their soil and
delve in their mines. The emgrants
who have been taken West and placed
upon the great grain growing lands
there are raising the wheat which ar
riVes at our ports by the millions of
bushels. Meanwhile, the splendid
farm lands of Canada, which might
grow every pound of bread that Great
Britain eats, are, comparatively speak
ing, vast solitude. Why do emil
grants go to the United States instead
of to Canada? Because they are taken
there"
The Englishman's idea that money is
to be made by more systematic cX-
ploitation of the Canadian northwest
than has yet been undertaken is rea-
sonahie. With Manitoba alone produce
ing 52,000,00O bushels of wheat this
year and paying farm laborers $50 a
month, exclusive of board, there is
hardly any limit to the productive pos
sibilities of the great region north of
our northern boundary, of which the
Red river province forms, in area, only
small fractional part. But it will
take more than natural wealth to at
tract and retain an intelligent immi-
grant population into Canada. Emil
grants from Europe may go TO the
United States because they are taken
there; although most of them come
nowadays of their own free accord, Of
ten ignoring the wishes of those
amongst whom they settle But they
remain in the United States because
they prosper here; because they find
that their children have excellent op-

Labors' Worst tiindrance.

q DISPATCH from Chicago in
~ the papers of yesterday in
~ dicates where disregard Of
the rights of others is lead
ing some of the men connected with or
ganizcd labors struggle for the mas
terry of American industry. 1t is as
follows:
"MuiGors III strik1 ~ the AlIis-
Chalmers foundry here, who We're on
Friday cnjoined from picketing the
grounds of the Allis plant, by an order
from Judge Kohlsaat, are openly de-
fyns the injunction today by having
out lire Of pickets. Business Agent
Phillips Ct the moulders' union said:
We do no; care for any injunction
which will deprive US of our rights as
American citizens, and will keep on
we have done in the past Strike lead
ers maintain that the injunction is nom
operative in their cases because they
are using no violence"
"The rights of American citizens
have their fundamental guarantee in
which nowhere gives warrant for labor
unions to make war upon non-union
workingmcn or uphods the surrounding
of private property by picket lines to
spy upon what Is done within or to
interfere with those who may wish to
come or go. The rights of American
citizens are defined in American
courts, and when therein defined, are
not amendable at the will of individ-
uals, save through the orderly pro-
cesses of the ballot. The remark
credited to Business Agent Phillips of
the moulders' union is in spirit a def
ance of the law and a usurpation by
Mr.. Phillips of authority not belong
ing to him, but belonging to the ju-
dietary.
If every citizen who is told by the
court to do or not to do certain thing
may justify dsobedionce by alleging
that it conflicts with his views of what
constitute the rights of American citi-
zenship, that citizenship would soon
lose all value because it would soon
represent instead of orderly and stable
government, a government of personal
whm and caprice.
Those who excuse or cXtenuate law
lessness when put forth in the inter-
est of labor organizations defend their
course by alleging that employers also
are sometimes or frequently lawless.
The defense is inadequate. one wrong
is not righted by showing the existence
of another. Whatever sins rest upon
the ConsCenCes of those who employ
labor or however badly illegalitics by
capital stand in need of punishment
and correction, the fact is inContrO-
vertible that the public interest most
urgently demands of those who guide
the activities Of labor honest respect for
law and order. But this demand is
daily ignored; and in hundreds of COM
munities anXieties are felt akin to
those of civil war because many of the
men who lead labor trade on prejudice
instead of reason.

their escape is improbable on its face.
The armed guards are more probably

tried to intimidate non-unionists from
accepting employment, and when fall
