IN the HOUR OF TRIAL.

Speaking OF the proposed day OF
public prayer in Missouri, on &C.
count of the devastating drought, the
Omaha World-Herald says:
Because the realization of mans
weakness is forced upon all men dur
ing such periods as this, we have now
no sneers for those who are inclined,
in the moment of disaster, to resort to
prayer; we have no taunts to hurl at
those whose faith, in the moment of
tribulation, leads them as suppliants
to the throne of their God.
It is nothing new that in the time of
q great calamity, in the presence of
threatened disaster, men become more
tolerant of the faith of the mothers.
The story is as old as the hills, and
from the beginning men, who in pros
perity have been inclined either to in
difference or to sneers, have in dis
aster come to realize, though only for
amoment, that they are dependent upon
q superior power. The old time re-
ligion that in the busy marts has been
swept aside by those too practical to
midst of trouble re-impressed itself
OHOA ACAP4OSS A40A3 1Au 0AA Vu0 VA0e
o1ogies and the creeds and the notions
erected by so-called progressive"
men are as mere baubles at such
time in comparison with the faith of
Paul and Silas.
We may have heard q man in the
vigor and freshness of youth sneer at
the faith of his mother, but when the
oats have been sown, when the mad
race has been run and age and de-
crepitude come upon him, how often
have we seen that same man demon
strate that he realizes the complete
ness OF human frailty.
We may have heard q man sneer at
the faith of neighbor; and yet how
often have we seen that same man
when death has threatened his own
household, kneeling beside the cot of
q beloved child and mingling his
prayers with those of q devoted
mother, invoking for his home that
which he is powerless himself to give
pleading for relief from g source
whose very existence he has oftimes
questioned.

An exchange tells it's readers how
to mind their P's in the following
manner: "Persons who patronize
papers should pay promptly, for the
peculiar power in pushing forward
public prosperity. If the printer is
paid promptly and his pocket book
kept plethoric by prompt-paying pa
irons, he puts his pen to his paper
In peace, his paragraphs are more
pointed, he paints his pictures of
passing events in more pleasing COL
ors, and the perusal of his paper is
pleasure to the people. Paste this

ceive Tx.

The Safest Speculation.

~PSSSs0SuVus
Farmer Ben amt investin' in wild
cat minin' and option and gold brick
schemes, I can tell you. It's mighty
poor and resky business, as lots of
folks not thousand miles off have
found out to their sorrow. Where
one makes, a hundred breaks, and I'd
rather keep on the way I am then to
be reputed rich one day and next have
to lose everything and be down to
poverty. All the speculation 1 ever
made was in buyin' a forty joinin'
me. I got it for twenty and now am
offered forty. I call that safe and
sure. Raisin' all kinds of things on
the farm is another way I've got of
speculatin'. I raised everything that
will grow, from sheep up to wheat,
somethin' of everything, and I specu-
late en- strikin' high price on some
thin every season. This year I'm in
it for a few shoats that my renter is
turnin' off at better than five cents,
figgerin' up over SIS "a peice. Next
year hogs may be low and cattle high.
Last fall my barley was good pro-
perty, and next fall somethin' else will
be good. Hay at SO in the stack ain It
so bad, either. tell you I amt got
any notions of gittin' rich quick a
speculatin'. What I've got by hard
work, and there's little steady stream
OF income comm in now every month
OF the year. What would I do with
the old farm gone, and with lot of
old good-for-nothing stock or town
lots on hand, and no income, and no
nothln'? Stick to the old farm boys.
BE good to Mother Nature and she
give you good Twin. -Farmer Ben,
in the Austin Transcript.

ORGANIZED CAPITAL VS.. ORGANIZED
lADoR, .@. .@e%

A momentous struggle between or
ganized capital and organised labor
is going on in Pennsylvania st the
present time. A large number Of Ia.
borers in the steel and tin plate mills
are out on strike, and it 10 possible
that every workman in those linest
may be called out. The question is
not one Of wages at present. It is a
struggle for the existence or destruc-
ton OF labor unions. Morgan, the
master of the steel trust, Is an in
veterate foe OF labor unions, and re-
fuses to come to an agreement with the
Amalgamated Association regarding
the regulating of non-union mills. If
he can crush the labor unions he will
have the men completely at his mercy.
The steel trust controls almost every
mill in the country and If the labor
ers are dissatisfied with the wages Of
fered they will have no chance to get
work elsewhere in the same business.
The only weapon that can be used
against such might is q labor union
that can call out every man in the en-
ploy of the trust and completely para
lyze it's business. Local strikes by
disorganized workmen would have no
effect. AS long as such important
mills as the Homestead plants are
non-union the trust can still do some
business. The Amalgamated asso-
citation is therefore striving for q
chance to unionize those mills.
Attempts at arbitration have been
made, but Morgan dismisses them
with the curt announcement that
"there is nothing to arbitrate. Last
fall he had to give up in the struggle
with the anthracite coal miners in
Pennsylvania because the continuance
of that strike might have been dis
astrous to the republican party. Now
there is no such danger, and Morgan
will probably fight it out to the bitter
end.
It is possible, however, that in it's
inordinate greed for power, the trust
may overreach itself. The labor un.
ions have made conditions for Amer
lean laborers tolerable, and in the
last two presidential campaigns the
union laborers have to great extent
turned the tide in favor of the trust
party. Let the unions be crushed and
the laborer feel the heavy hand of the
trust as the consumers have, and they
will not be so afraid of voting for a
change. If the trusts were wise they
would recognize that contented labor
ers would be their best shield against,
the wrath of the consumers. But the
thirst for gold and powers seems to
make them regardless of all precau-
lions. AS long as they were satisfied
with American markets they could
take out of the consumer what they
had to pay in higher prices to union
labor. Now they want the world, and
in order to compete with the pauper
labor of Europe they will attempt to
reduce the American laborer to the
same condition. "Pride goeth before
fall" and the very means these gi-
gantic trusts are using to increase
their power may be the instruments of
their undoing.
