There we six or seven other heirs

Miss Geu,sh after reading the docu-

Last March Leo wrote a dying

Black nigh. succeeds thy day
Black nigh, for thee; wasted thy
frame life's food sustains
No more thy shrunken veins
Death casts his fatal dart robed, for
the grave thy bones
Lie under the cold stones.
But my freed soul escapes her chains
and longs in flight
To reach the realms Of light.
That Is tho goal she seeks; thither her
tourney fares;
Grant. Lord my anxious prayers.
That, with the citizens of Heaven,
Gods face and light
May ever thrill my sight
That / may see Thy face Heavens

Has brought me home above.

LABOR N CAPITAL.

Indications point toward a conflict
between capital and labor in the near
future, and a conflict the end of which
no man can predict.
The employers of New York City
have organized, and the first thing
done vas to declare war on all labor
unions. This declaration was followed
by similar actions in Boston and Chi,
cage and it is expected that the EN-
ployers in all the big cities will come
in to fight the man who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow.
According to Geographic dispatches,
billions of capital will be pitted
against labor, for the purpose of
crushing the spirit of independence
which has always been recognized as
strictly American and to bring Ameri
can labor down TO the level of the
serf n funky of Europe, The claims
of the unions have been declared ex
cessive and unreasonable, even to the
organization itself. The keynote Of

MEXICO AND MONEY.

The railroads of Mexico seem to be
in a bad way financially on account
of silver and there is nov a scramble
on to avert the ruin that is staring
these concerns in the face. The an
nual report of the Mexican Central
shows that almost constantly depre-
ciating currency has brought the Mex
lean railroads 10 the verge of a grave
financial crisis.
Modern Mexico, in commenting upon
the situation, declares that the contin-
uance of a ascent dollar would mean
speedy bankruptcy for the Mexican
railroads. In the annual report and
editorial referred to. the idea is held
out that the only hope is in govern
ment aid in establishing an arbitrary
rate of exchange which will give the
railroads the benefit of a 50-cent
stable dollar. There is no conceal
ment of the fact in financial and rail
road circles that the situation has for
some time been considered grave.
The annual report says that through
the depreciation of the Mexican peso
during 1902, .he Mexican Central suf-
fered a net loss in revenue amount
ing to $3.50, 964.94. United States
rency. This resulted in a net deficit
to the company amounting to 1894
402, "a, United States currency. Had
the average price of the Mexican dol
lar during 1902 been the average price
of 1901, the company would have
shown a surplus amounting to $272,-
562.20 over and above the charges of
the year.. This loss is at the rate of
$5,S59.53 for every cent depreciation
in Mexican currency.

all deliberations, they say will be:
mo quarter given; no quarter asked"
The possibility of arbitration will not
enter into the question. An increase
of wage will not be considered for
one moment. Combines that have been
able to pay so per cent. on the money
invested can rot afford to meet labor
with a 5 per cent increase in salary,
and should the employed assert their
right and strike, they are to be kicked
off the earth.
Organized capital seems to have
overlooked that great doctrine of
equality of all men and they are now
seking to Cypress, coerce and suppress
those who have assisted in making
their great wealth possible. They
have overlooked the fact that the
union is perhaps all that the laboring
man has. 1t is his club, his social or
ganization where he meets and greets
his friends. where he discusses the
small affairs of life, and where he can
in time of need assert that God-given
right Of a human being that has al
most ben reduced to a beast of bur
den. And because the union will as
sist in the fight for the rights for a
few of their number, the combinations
of capital have decreed that he shall
not exist. These combinations have
overlooked the fact that even in his
subdued condition, the spirit of Ameri-
canism still exists in his breast. He
will not submit to outrages, nor will
he accept that which the man Of mil
lions may cast from his back door
and mekly depart, satisfied that he is
allowed to cucumber the earth. The
laboring man Is willing to meet the
capitalist half way. and even two
thirds of the way in order that diff
culties may be avoided and disputes
settled. Before the millionaire en-
ployers take the step that means a
conflict between labor and capital, let
them take into consideration the con
sequences, for it is just such acts and
organizations as the n started in
New York that breed socialism and
makes possible a victory for social
ism, and to avoid such a calamity to
the country, 1t is the interest of every
employer, large or small, to intercede
for the laboring man and for capital
itself.
