Denver, Col, April 7.-Lieute nant
Governor d. G. Coates, President of
the State OF Labor, stirred up a
hornet s nest in the ministers alliance
this morning when, by invitation, he
told the ministers why the working
classes did not go to church.
During the delivery Coates was
repeatedly Missed, and when inter
rupted by minister calling him u
hireling, he retorted "You are the
hirellng. You are supported by the
blood money wrung from the smelter
laborer who works 10 hours a day
for a pittance that your millionaire
patron may have more money to hoard
Yes, you churchmen are filling the
brothels by toadying to the owners of
department stores who will not pay
living wages to the poor girls con
demned to serve behind their counters.
You know what infamous business
your deacons and trustees are engaged
in, and you are afraid to condemn
their nefariOus means OF accumula-
ting wealth. You, by your silence, are
driving thousands to drunkenness,
suicide and perdition. Help the work
ing classes to escape the hell ON earth,
and the workingmen will listen to
your talk of hell in the hereafter.

his noble efforts.
The farmers have been busy rebuild
ing fences washed away in the recent
flood. In most cases they have put
up temporary enclosul es. as stones and
rails are in many cases washed away,
and they cannot lose time from their
already greatly delayed crops The
pike leading to Mooresville has been
literally washed away, and conse-
quently the toll-gate has been thrown
open. AS the bridge at Mr.. Dave
Smiths was washed away there is
no ford except the one at the mill, and
then all travel goes through Mr.. Bell
place, around by Mr.. Davis, and out
to the old pike at the Rock Dale school
house. This is great inconvenience
to the public and to the individuals
thro' whose farms travellers III ust pass,
and it is hoped that the bridge will
be built soon or the old ford below the
bridge be fixed.
