ANOTHER OF THE "OLD
 GUARD" GONE.

Still another departure from the scenes of his earthly labors was chron- icled last Monday in the burial of one of Connecticut's "old guard of reform ers-Daniel P. Bradley of Middletown, laid to rest in the old North cemetery of Hartford. He was a man of kindly heart and with the courage of an hon. est, earnest and intelligent conviction. And he kept the faith of the true re- former to the last. If the world is not the better for his having lived long and honestlife among us-the desire of every true reform heart-surely the blame not to him belongs.
 Peace to his ashes, good soul, and an abiding love to his memory.

thereby imposing additional burdens on the rest of the property in the school district in which it is situated And in order that the point would have more telling effect a fling must be made at the chairman of the school district because of happening to be a man imbued with the principles of genuine democracy and endowed with the courage of his convictions. "The proposition of the school district" said the learned counsel, "is a proposition of an utterly socialistic character which might properly be expected from the chairman of the school dis trict.'
 To intelligent men of heart this could only pass as compliment to the po- litical sagacity of the school chair man; how it was considered by the gentlemen of the committee to whom it was addressed, may be quite another thing. At any rate, it showed that the man who uttered the words, and who labels himself Democrat" knows noth- ing of the true meaning of the word.
 And yet this legal philosopher spoke better than he knew. He was right. The proposition to compel a money making institution able to pay S5,O00 yearly salary to an antiquated super intendent, to bear it's share of taxa tion with the poor mans humble home he whose income for productive la bor or indispensable service will not reach one-fifth of that amount, is truly a socialistic proposition as is the basic feature of the whole common school system itself. And to the really intel 1igent American citizen, socialism is only another name for genuine democ- racy, aye, for genuine Christianity, which declares that imposing unjust burdens on the poor that the rich may escape being burdened at all, is a crime against the law of God as we'll as the instincts of common humanity.

SATURDAY, MAY IS, 1901.

The proposed whipping post bill in the Connecticut legislature has been rejected. This is well for the lawyer fraternity, especially the small fry thereof. Anything that would tend to decrease the number of petty offenses initiates against the business of these gentlemen And surely they are de- $erving of far more consideration in Ehe community than the unfortunate wives of brutal husbands. Besides, there are other citizens who consider themselves well entitled to life, ib- erty and happiness on the misfortunes of others.

simon Rurn., Luck.

President Simon Burns of the Win dow Glass Workers association and also general master workman of the Knights of Labor is a fortunate man. He has just been informed that he has drawn a grand prize of $6O,OOO in Mexican lottery.
 President Burns, whose headquarters are in Pittsburg, is one of the most astute labor leaders in the country. He is known everywhere as fighter, and when he goes into a fight or dispute he never gives up until he has won. As president of the Window Workers he is also a director in the American Win dow Glass company (the trust), his or ganization owning a nice large block of the trusts stock. = Philadelphia Times.

of others.

When the trade-unionist speaks of striking for a nine hours workday for ten hours pay, he prejudices his case before the public. There is no such thing as "10 hours pay as a basis of measurement. It may be one thing today and another tomorrow. We nev- er hear of nine hours pay for ten hours work, when the employer '1n- sists on cutting wages. The only way to look at the matter is this: Is nine hours time sufficient for an ordinary .workday? If it is, let that settle that mart of the question, leaving the com pensation or wages part to be settled Ion it's own merits.

THE COAL GOD MADE.
Was It Intended For All OF to Make
 n Few Money Lords?

Was It Intended For All OF to Make a Few Money LOrdss I Behold the hire of the laboEess who have reapeG down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cEieth, and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord ct | Sabaoth.-James v, A. Es-,s Under the earth's surface at various depths, in veins of varying thickness, lies the worlds supply Gf coal Mil lions of years before meT came here this coal was stored away to supply them with heat when in the fullness of time they should arrive on earth to fulfill their mysterious and still unex- plained errand. ..Es During thousands of centuries the coal was stored slowly, and during thousands of centuries twas packed into stony condition by the pressure of the weight piled up above it. Today men dig it out and sell it. In the production of this coal you would naturally say that there were only two great agencies: .:
 First, God, who made the coal and stored it away to be used.
 Second, the men and women and children who work in the smines,- living in darkness and grime and bringing the coal to the surface.
 But there must be some other great agency responsible for this coal and for this reason:
 The coal product of Great Britain last year sold for $500, 100000. Theto- tai amount paid to all men and women and children who dug the coal out of the ground was $5O,OOO,OOO. . dollars, five-sixths of the entire prod uct, went to some one else. Of course that "some one else" is the mine owner, the coal speculator.
 We do not believe that the power which made the coal and gave it to men is quite satisfied with the condf- tions under which the coal is dug. We have an idea that a situation which in-' wolves extravagant prices for the poor. who use the coal, very small pay for the poor who dig it and $25O, O,0OO, 900 for mon who neither made the coal nor dig it is not satisfactory to the Maker | of coal mines and the Ruler of the world. .eS We sincerely believe that in his own time he will change system which needs changing so badly.
 We believe that a change will come and that it will be radical. For Divine disapproval of the grab alls is written too clearly to admit of any varied i4ter. pretation:
 Go to nowx rich men; weep and bowl for. your naiseries that ssaA come upon you. stt Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten. K Your gold and silver is cankered, and the Eust of them shall be witness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days-James v, l. 2, 3.
 The existence of a half starved miner is not pleasant, the! life of a woman working in the mines is horrible, and the stealing of five-sixths of the coal from those who dig it out is abomina- ble.
 But we have an idea that when the time comes to straighten out accounts the miners will not have the hardest part of the bargain.-New York Jour nal. .

CALL HIM SOCIALIST AND

When the pettifogging pleader wish es to score point against the accept ance or adoption of measure that is truly democratic, he invariably dubs the same as ''socialistic'' This is con- sidered as good argument enough for the average legislator.

noble men and womens no dusty mills to stifie the young life and SOW the germs of premature old age, but Gods fresh air and sunshine to make them happy and beautiful. They could go to school in the winter, for nefghberhood schools would come as the population of the neighborhood increased Agri- culture could be Introduced into these schools with profit, and the young peo- pie would soon become practical and scientific farmers on their acre of gar den land, eventually becoming prosper ous farmers on their own account if their tendencies lazy fn this direction
 The question of child labor would soon be settled forever if a sufficient number of them could be turned loose on an equal number of acres of Gods green earth.
 The idea would be for labor union to acquire homes ass nearly as possible in the same community locating near each other, but for society and general helpfulness. They could then club to- gether and buy one or two, horses in or der to cultivate their gardens properly. The plan could of course be elaborated to suit the circumstances. Then, too, if any should happen to be out of em- ployment there would be place to put in his time to good account.
 This is a practical work that the trades unions might accomplish which probably they have not thought of, and yet it would mean more to the members of their organizations than any of the new movements yet sug gested. 1t would mean wholesome lives and happy homes.
 Let the Federation of Trades take this matter up and see how many of their numbers would pledge them selves to take such homes when built. Let them decide what kind of houses they want and how much land attach ed Then advertise for bids and see what the land owners and capitalists Of Atlanta are willing to do toward supplying this demand for homes A desirable location could easily be se cured. If necessary, car line could be extended to take ih the settlement, provided, of course, e1oHgh went into the movement.

 insurance Commissioners SchofeId or Connecticut has anything but hope full word for the future of fraternal so- ciety insurance, and looks for the not far off passing out of existence of those organizations, leaving in their trail a most unsightly wreck" We appre- hend that these words were meant to help along the passing out of exist ence act. Commissioner Schofield is politician who has his ear to the ground to catch whatever may be thought well to say for the benefit of his friends And the friends he thinks most of are not to be found among the class or men who invest in cooperative insur- ance. Yet, perhaps, MT. Schofield is correct in his prediction. There are lots of men in the world who prefer to give themselves into the care and keep ing of others than undergo the trouble of doing anything for themselves. It is thus that the caretakers sometimes become millionaires while the cared for remain next door to pauperdom.

THE IMPENDING CONFLICT,

BNlt -INDliN0 S0lNT LIA
 Monday next promises to be a not able day in American history, every thing now indicating the biggest labor strike yet chronicled. It is the day when the national organization of ma- chinists with other allied trades have decided to throw down their tools and
 walk out into idleness if their de- mands for a nine hour day with pres ent wages be not s.1-s
 Already the fight is on in some al 7 reetions, the employers declining to say that they, too, will do likewise. some going so far as to declare that the fight against trade-unionism itself might as we'll commence now as later, the claimed arrogance of the fraternity being unbearable.
 While our sympathy is with the la
 boring man, our belief has long con- sidered the trade union as a crude method of salvation from the wrongs and oppression of naughty and con- scienceless capitalism But it seems to
 be the only weapon of defense or ad-
 vance known to the average trade unionist- least the only one he seems willing to strive to operate. An intel ligent use of the ballot would be far more effectual with no attendant sac rif1ces incident on either defeat or vic- tory. However, it is useless to talk
 about that at present. Perhaps 1t may
 not be so later on. But the strike is
 now the question before the house. AL
 ready the decree has gone forth that strike it is to be in case the employers still refuse on Monday to grant the demands set forth, The struggle may | be short, and it may be long and des- perate. It all depends on the percent
 age of workers to be found within the
 pale of organization. If the percentage
 is large, then the fight is virtually won
 on the part of the workers before it is commenced. If the percentage is
 small the odds are much against them. l The. contest is never between employee and employer. It is between the man in the union and the fellow outside. The employer merely uti11zes the one against the other. When he isn't there to utilize, the employer is defeat ed in advance.
 But as has been heretofore referred to, it seems as lacking sagacity on the part of the employers to refuse this very moderate request of the working men. There need be no sacrifice in- l volved in doing it. If the wages would
 be virtually advanced in consequence there is nothing in our commercial ethics to prevent an advance of prices
 accordingly and thus compel consumers l-workingmen and alto stand the difference. And the average working | man would never catch on to the trick.
 His education in political economy halts
 at the wage scale. He has never learnt | that the politicians can take away from him in taxes all that he is able

Nohi1ify and Dignity.

H. M. Hyndman, the famous English socialist, in letter to The Challenge, published at Los Angeles, says: "1 am sick of the talk about the nobility of the laborer and the dignity of la Dor. The laborer today is not noble, and his labor is not digniied. No, the worker of our time is for the most part a self degraded drudge, and his profit making toll is an embruting task"

TWENTY REASONS.
Why Osteopathy is So Popular
With The People,
lFrom our Special Correspondent

Franklin, Ky, April 9Th, 1901.
EDITOR KENTUCKIAN:-
So many ask why they'should try
Osteopathy rather than some other
method of treating disease that we
give the following reasons:-
1. The percentage of Osteopathy
cures is greater than any other
system.
2. Most of the Osteopathic cures
are made when all else has tailed.
3. 1t cures many troubles that
medicine cannot.
4. Osteopathic treatment is alb
solutely safe.
S. OsteoPathy does not produce
one disease to cure another.
g. Osteopathy removes the cause
of disease.
7. Improvement continues after
the treatment is discontinued and
the cure is permanent,
8. The system is not saturated
with dangerous drugs.
9. Osteopathy is more pleasant
to take than any other treatment.
10, The method of Osteopathlc
treatment appeals to the common
sense Of intelligent people.
II. The thousands who have
tried Osteopatby are enthusiastic
10 its praise.
y, The charges are reasonable.
10. The most intelligent people
are believers in Osteopathic prac-
tice.
A. Osteopdthy has been con-
sidered in over half of the states
this winter andnot one singlelaw has
been passed against it but several
have been passed in its favor.
Is. Governors, Legislators, judges,
authors, and all classes are its adj
herents.
10. The practitioners at this in
Urinary are educated men and
women with large experience in
the treatment of disease.
II. Our force includes bright
medical men aud men who have
held positions as teachers In medi-
cal schools, and been officers in
medical associations.
IS. The Osteopathic practitioners
have spent more months in prepar-
alton than ninety nine out of every
hundrd medical doctors.
10. Possibly your chronic trou-
bic will never be relieved by medI-
cal means.
20. You cannot afford to neglect
this means of relief.
We shall be glad to furnish any
afflicted person with literature and
complete information regarding the
institution. 1t costs you nothing to
investigate the merit of the treat
ment.

Charles Dudley Warner on the Quality
of Human Kindness.
Something of the view of life taken
by the late Charles Dudley Warner
is found in his "Back Log Studies"
"The longer / live" said the author,
"the more | am impressed with the
excess of human kindness over human
hatred, and the greater willingness
to oblige than to disoblige that one
meets at every turn. The selfshness
in politics, the jealousy in letters, the
pickering in art, the bitterness in the
ology, are all as nothing compared
to the sweet charities, sacrifices and
Differences Of private life. The peo-
pie are few whom to know intimately
is to dislike. Of course you want to
hate somebody, if you can, just to
keep your powers of discrimination
bright, and to save yourself from be-

but perhaps it is well to hate some
historicalperson who has been dead so
