THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

Under the heading, e." Shook the
Hand Of sullivan the following artl.
Gle appeared in the editorial columns
OF the Miw aukee Journal Of recent
date:
"Tho duke then stepped forward aud
shook hands with sullivan and thanked
HIM"
"That Is IN excerpt from an article
which details the kindincss and con
descension OF the young man who has
made May Goelet II duchess.
"SulliVan Is the gardener Mt Ochre
Court, Newport. Socially he Is Il
of RoXburghe. Perhaps both are
necessary parts OF the great human
fabric.
"But when you get right down to
hnrdpan, who of the two has done the
most for his kind-has best played his
part In the worldY IL the bee or the
butterfly the more important?
Sullivan has been u gardener for
years. Every day he works hard, lie
minds his own business. He loves his
work. He IL m artist In his proGos-
sion. His aim In life Is to produce
more and better flowers. Wealth Is
not his, and he has no ambition for
social recognition. lie Is content with
being tho best gardener that Goelet
money could hire. He has not counted
aching bones or bllstered fingers. lie
has not hungered for the millions OF
his employers or envled them their
possessions Destiny made him n
gardener He made OF himself II good
gardener,
"And the dulSe He has danced n
little, hunted II little, fought bravely
las most Englshmen dol sowed his
full crop of Wild oats, gambled some,
and married Ten Million Dollars,
!" He may have thought that he con-
ferred favor when he pressed the
calloused fingers OF sullivan, the gar
dener. He didn't. For in all things
that 60 to make up the practical life
the useful human, The man who grows
flowers for the Goelets Is the superior
aud stands head and shoulders above
the titled fortuno-huntors of Europe.
We tolerate the nobility must
have the toilcrs."
The story is we'll told, aud the moral
which the journal draws from IL
should be called attention to again
and again until the world learns to
distinguish between what Is real and
what Is false in human conduct and
character.

will outlast perhaps dozen board
walks Under such circumstances
the cement pavement, costing perhaps
thrice as much as the wooden, actually
becomes SO cheap In comparison that
very great economy is practiced in
adopting the more modern material.
1t can impose no hardship upon any
property owner to lay granolithic
walks in view Of these facts.
"And the advantages are many,
aside from the financial. Such walks
practically remove all possibility of
damage suits against the municipality
because of injuries sustained by pedes-
trians. There are no holes into which
one may innoccntly step, no treacher-
Gus boards to trip the unwary. BY
night as readily as by day these walks
may be traversed safely, confidently.
There is no need OF person picking
his way along carefully, donbtfully.
1t Is known exactly what is under foot
that the surface Is hard and level.
And, the year round, 1t is by no means
as slippery"

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1903,

A great deal OF our American So
cialism- socialism which may be class
flied as of the unconscious variety is
due to spirit of reprisal. Some peo-
pie favor socialistic measures as a
means Of furnishing elements which
have managed TO profit by one-sided
socialism. Socialism for the rich as
exempli6ed by protective tariffs be-
gets demand for socialism for the
poor. Governmental favors TO one
class naturally lead to desire for
similar favors on the part OF other
classes. IL Is thus that suspicion and
hate are engendered among a people
who should be harmonious and just
In their dealings with one another. m
Chicago Chronicle.
In the early days Of the Morrill,
tariff Horatio Seymour used TO warn
the people against the evils Of the
communism OF protection. He argued
with all his well known power that
high tariff taxation fostered above all
things q spirit OF communism; and
predicted that If the protective policy
should long be maintained In the
United States it would on this account
prove q great evil and tend TO crush
out the true American spirit OF self
reliance, which only asked Of the gov
eminent n fair lied and no favor. In
the present widespread and growing
feeling Of discomfort and In the great
activity Of socialstic writer's, takers
and actors, may be found very good
evidence that the great Scymou was
in this regard Il true prophet. Ii Is
the communism OF protection which
begat the communism Of trust domina-
tion and II long Inc Of coneommItant
evils. If, as President Roosevelt
says, the American people acquiesce
In the protective policy, they should
be exhorted and stirred up to It's evils
until they aequiesce In 1t no longer.

FEDERATION FOR REFORMS.

A convention OF the Federation OF
Churches was recently held at Wau-
sau. Orlando Burnett" in his cor
respondence to Wisconsin newspapers,
gives good report of the proceedings
He says:
"E. Il. Hicks Of Oshkosh eX-attor-
ney general, is n speaker whose voice
Is at the disposal Of any good cause.
He was there, with perintendent OF
Schools Cary and State Senator Bird.
who wage ceaseless war on the cigar
cite. One of the most powerful
speeches was by Bishop Grafton's
coad tutor, Bishop Weller. He is II
southerner and talked of Sabbath OBJ
seryance. He said as boy he was
fed on cold dinners Sundays, his
mother being rigid in her ideas Of the
Sabbath day; and he scored the mod
efn home where the kitchen Is never
so busy as on Sunday, taxing the
women from the mistress to the SER
want. The bishop has the mannerisms
OF the cloth, but he Is an orator Of
great rover. He said it may not have
occurred TO all his hearers that the
lAllD1ul aJlcnudnCe On HlhSS ounuby
mornings by millions of American
Catholics had done not n little to pre-
serve the day In the face of non-at-
tendance by Professionals.
"The object Of the Federation is
partly TO prevent the waste caused by
multiplying churches in small com
munities and to combine the moral in
huence Of the church membership of
the state to pass good laws and OPP
pose bad ones. ~

old Iwilei stockade has returned to, the
hands of the men who made It, Yes

Deputy Sheriff Albert McGurn pat
Ching Lum and Leong Kau in possess
sion of the place.
The Chinese were the contractors
who built the place for T. Masuda and
H. Hamanaka, the alleged Japanese
proprietors of the place. The place
was bull practically ON speculation. The
speculation proved highly profitable
and during the height of its career, was
mint for those concerned in 1t.
But the apotheosis of vice departed
when the courts issued injunctions
that resulted in the place being CLOSE J..
Since that time, the place has been
worthless, so far as bringing any ~
venue to its owners was concerned.
Since the time of it's being closed the
place mas had but few tenants. The
Chinese contractors have. in the mean
while been whistllng for the ba' ance of
the money due them.
Masuda went to the mainland last
year and Is reported to have died in a
New York hospital. The other man
has not been where the authorities
could secure service, so the wrl- was
finally issued this week out of Judge
Dickey's court and Deputy Sheriff Nc
Gurn turned the property over to the
original builders. What use, they will
make of the place has not been an
