Point Judith, r. l., Sept. 5.-While
the war balloon was being removed from
its hiding place, inland, to the station at
the point today, a gust of wind struck the
partially filled bag and swept it across
fields and stone walls. The men who
were in charge were dragged uncere-
1noniously in its wake and a halt came
only after a great hole had been torn
in the canvass, letting out the gas. 1t
was nearly noon before the hole had been
repaired and the work of filling recon-
menced.

VIII Watch the legislature.


Nebraska workingmen are waking
up to the fact that If they get any IA
vors from the lawmakers of the state
it will be because they ask for them,
says the Omaha Bee. In order that
what has hitherto been an open gate
may in the future be at least partially
closed, the, Nebraska State Society Of
Labor and Industry at it's last session
decided to maintain at Lincoln during
the coming session of the legislature an
agent who will be especially charged
with the business of looking after bills
that in any way affect the interests Of
labor, skilled or unskilled, organized or
unorganized. John Q. Lynch, promi-
nent member of the Omaha Plumbers
union, was chosen for this mission. He
will be assisted by four other members
Of unions, the five to constitute a gen
>eral committee, and from time to time
these will be REINFORCED by committees
from the unions interested in any par
ticular. bill that may be pending. In
this way it is hoped to secure legisla-
ton ia vorable to the interests Of labor.
At the close Of the session Mr. Lynch
will NAL e a report to the state society
on his work, paying particular atten-
ton to the attitude Of the several mem
abers toward organized abor. 4 I'D

WOULD LICENSE DRINKERS.
Novel Plan to Help on the Work of
Temperance.


One of the planks in the Prohibition
party platform Of Cortland county, N
Y. and one which they hope to have
made general throughout the state, re-
quires every man who drinks liquor to
take out license, costing not less than
70 year, every six months. the names
of the holders Of such licenses to be
published in the official newspapers of
the county, so that all may know who
has legal right to drink.
Plans for having a measure to this
effect introduced in the legislature
have been formulated. The promoters
of the movement will try to secure the
cooperation of church and temperance
people throughout the state A leader
in the movement says:
I'VE admit that large number of
people who declare themselves as tenn
perance advocates are working the side
and back doors for quiet drinks. but it
is also believed that many people
would refrain from drink rather than
have their names published as licensed
topers. The women throughout the
state will WescOme the movement, and
if the measure can be brought before
the legislature. with their influence
and that of the churches, it is not be-
ieved that it can fail Of favorable &C.

A Few Thoughts ON the Advance Of
Railway Mems Wages.
The world has been startled lately
by voluntary" increases of wages on
several Of the large railway lines in
this country, and the newspapers have
contained editorials, write ups, special
articles and contributions without
number marveling at this wonderful
thing. Dear reader, why does it seem
to you SO wonderful a thing that
wealthy and prosperous corporations
increase the wages of their employees
without being compelled to do so:
Isn't it because labor organizations
have usually had to compel the grant.
ing of fair wage? Just turn these
two queries over in your mind the next
time you are tempted to join in the
bowling of capitalism against some
strike.
The truth is that the railway cor
porations are receiving credit for mo-
tiyes which had nothing to do with
their decision to raise wages. The
railway barons We're wise, that was
all. Don't make the mistake of think
ing they were actuated by the spirit
Of philanthropy. There are just two
counts in this Indictment:
First.-Owing to the great growth of
business on the roads and the conse-
quent pressure of work and because of
the increased cost of living the railway
employees, on nearly every line in the
country had decided to demand an in
crease in wages, and in some cases the
demand was in the hands Of the com
panies' officials when the lightning of
philanthropy" struck those gentle
men.
Second.-Freight rates are to be adj
vanced by all the railway lines, and
the increase will be sufficient to net
the companies neat rake off on the
little game of robbing Peter to pay
Paul when Paul was getting ready to
put up big kick for his dues.
There may be employers who are so
just and have such kindly feeling for
their employees that they will raise
wages voluntarily when the business
justifies. but it would be like looking
for snowflakes in a blast furnace to
seek such employers among the rail-
way corporations Of this country.

Religious journal.
The Christian Guardian of Toronto
speaks upon certain things in connec-
ton with the campaign for prohibition
In Canada as follows:
"We have received a rather strange
letter touching on the referendum is
sue. Our correspondent, though Pro-
hlbitionist. thinks that the effort to
poll respectable vote in December is
a vain and foolish one and that the
making of it means disaster to the Pro
hibition cause. One illustration of the
soundness of his view he gives: A bust
ness man in his own city, who is a Pro
hlbitionist and an official in the church,
enjoys a considerable share of the
patronage of the liquor dealers. His
competitor for that trade along a GER
tain line is neither favorable to the
church nor the temperance cause If
the former votes in December, he
stands to lose the custom referred to-,
and the less worthy man will gain it..
Our correspondent thinks it is unfair
and unjust to place a man in such a
position.
I'VE believe that our day has be-
come too enlightened for the successful
working Of the boycott and that liquor
dealers will in the long run, as every
one else does, deal where they think
they can to the best advantage. But
the temperance crusade will never win
it's holy sepnlcher until men and wo-
men by the thousands are ready to
count great sacrifice joy for it's sake.
We are onlv really in earnest when
that is the case, and it were better that

risk should be counted against us
than that we should strive to lower

. UCHMDHh ~, 1ot)z, the OaSl-
ing Confederate cavalry lead
er Earl Van Dorm achieved
! one Of the most brilliant and
| important raids of the war.
But for the celebrity and thoroughness
Of his sudden swoop that day at Holly
Springs, Miss, Vicksburg might cut a
different figure in the history of victo-
ries.
The middle of December, 1862, both
Grant and Sherman were moving
against Viclsburg overland and by
steamers down the Mississippi. The
chief supply depot at the front for
Grants land column was at Holly
Springs, on the Mississippi Central rail-
way. Far up the road northward to-
ward the main base of army supplies
in Kentucky Forests troopers were
destroying bridges and telegraph lines,
as we'll as capturing important militia
; ry posts.
Van Dorm at the time of the raid had
under Ills command a small body Of
cavalry serving as scouts for the Con
federate army of Pemberton which
confronted Grant in northern Missis-
sippi. Acting on his own impulse he
made swoop from Grenada to Holly
Springs, and so rapid were his move
ments that Grants outlying scouts
were distanced in the race to camp.
Van Dorn's attack on the post was
sprung at daylight and proved a COM
plete surprise. In spite of the gallant
resistance made by the garrison after
it had been aroused the raiders cut the
telegraph wires and destroyed the mil
itary stores. TIE garrison consisted Of
the Eighth Wisconsin and portion of
the Sixty-second Illinois infantry and
six companies Of the Second Illinois
cavalry. The Illinois troopers made a
stubborn resistance, falling upon Van
Dorn's scattered detachments and
fighting heroically to retrieve the dis
aster.
Van Dorm estimated the supplies
burned in the raid at $1,500OOO and
Grant at 100000. The cutting of the
wires broke the communication be-
tween Grant and Washington and
Sherman on the river. For weeks the
Army of the Tennessee remained in a
state Of isolation as great as though
steam roads and the telegraph had
never been invented.
! Before the wires were cut Grant
learned of the work Of Van Dorn's
energetic colleague up the line. With
1900 troopers Forrest had crossed the
Tennessee river westward at Clifton,
and early on the 18th of December gal
loped toward Lexington. Lexington
was Federal cavalry outpost, cover
ing on the east the important military
post at Jackson, on the Mississippi
Central.
Jackson was the headquarters Of a
military district commanded by Gen
eral J. G. Sullivan, and the outlying
points east, north and south were gar
risoned by small bodies of infantry,
