our country, any power conferred upon the

bad for the people. The worlds history has

The immigration Question.

Bishop Chas. B. Galloway, of Mississippi, at
a meeting of the Methodist church (South), in
Kansas City, last Sunday night, speaking OF
the peris that threaten this nation, said:
~ was born in Mississippi, aud know more
about the Negro problem than some do who
discuss it in an academic way. In my country,
the Negroes outnu .nber the whites three to one.
But tell you, the Negro problem, as menace
to our country, sinks into insigni6cance when
compared with the congestion Of foreign popu.
lation in our cities. The Negroes speak OUT
language, and there is no man in the United
States who ever saw,a Negfo skeptic. Some.
times, they believe too much, but they abso.
lutely believe in God and the Bible. The
period of minority through which they passed.
was the grandest period of their history, be.
cause they passed out Of it to become people
of absolute believers. But the immigrants,
from southern Europe and other countries, who
have worshippod at other altars, who are sat.
urated with other ideas than Americans-they
furnish the problem.
"While we are sending missionaries to for.
eign countries to win Chinese from their idols,
the Japanese from their false ideas, the Koreans
from the fetishes, our own country, through
the influx of these thousands, is being practic.

worm knows. when it's hurt, and writhes. It
puts up its hest defence. The union labor man
knows when he is hurt, and writhes, but does
not put up his best defence. The worm is
ahead. The best defence of labor, and easily
practicable, is to seize the government. Let
the masses elect congress, president and legis
latures, and change the judiciary, and the bat.
tie would be wor, and no class injured.
The power of the great trusts lies in our
government. The man who says our govern
ment has not power to crush all forms of in

either under twenty-five or over, or at any other
time. Mentally incapable,
In summing up the matter, we may find that
only few men attain to great ideas; that the
mass of men are ruled through blind impulse,
sefshness or prejudice. Education fails to ed
cate. The old soldier is easily diverted from
the original course of first effort The leaders
of the laboring man are either blind or corrupt.

Shakespeare says, mischief is fool"
There is 10 mischief like the mischief that un-
dermnes empires and destroys civilization, and
no fool like the fool that builds fortunes and
establishes power for the few at the expense of
the many. Such mischief ends iu the over
throw of all. No permanent empire can be
builded upon other foundation than that of
universal brotherhood. Universal brotherhood
demands universal cooperation in the produc-
tion and distribution Of life's necessities.
Princes and leaders of men have generally
fought the doctrine of universal brotherhood,

Union labor is not patriotic. Patriotism seeks
the good of the whole country Union labor
is blind impulse, provoked bv the brutal tyr
amy of the men who employ labor. Union
labor has deep and grievous wrongs, but so has
the farmer, and many other people outside the
pale of union labor lines. We sympathze
with union labor efforts only because he has
wrongs; because he battles with giants.
There can be but one end to the death crap
pie. Union labor will be Overwhelmingly de-
feated.
We come to our text, "Put not your trust in
princes" 1t is one of the few grains of kuowl-
edge that have come down from the ancents-
just as true to-day as thousands Of years ago.
Strange that man has learned so little when it
is so easy to gain knowledge. Every Ameri-
can might have known, if he had wanted to,
that no man could be trusted with power and
leadership who would not bear watching. If
Republicans had watched their party leader
ship, they could easily have perceived that
that party was not promoting the interests
and happiness Of the masses. Republicans
put their trust in men who have betrayed free
dom and happiness. Ditto, Democracy There
is no Lincoln Republica lism in the Republican
party, and no Je Jefersonian Democracy in the
Democratic party. Not of the "vote'et-
straight sort. Impossible! Jefferson and
Lincoln stood for principles. The Republican
and Democratic parties stand for spoils.
Does the old soldier stand for pensions? God
forbid. If he did stand for pensions, is it not
the whole peoples money from which pensions
are paid? Did the old soldier pass his twenty
fifth year without grasping the great idea of an
universal Brotherhood?
What great idea have the union labor people
grasped? Not up to 6shworm. The fish

Remedies for Crime.

Dr.. Polhemus II. Swift, Of Chicago, in dis.
cussing the above problem, last Sunday, said,
among other things:
"There must be revival of civic righteous
ness. Good men must take an active interest
in politics. The pulpit must speak out IN the
interest Of new earth as we'll as new heaven.
Good men must be elected regardless party afil-
iations. There must be a reviva! OF enforce
ment of law. Violators of law must be speed.
lily punished. There must be great revival
of spiritual religion. There must be union
of effort. The church of Jesus Christ must
not be wanting in the conflict. The press can
be counted on for heroic work. Let these say
in thunder tones: Wickedness shall not receive
projections; law must be enforced; criminals
must not be pardoned; lawlessness shall be
hunted to justice; that corporations must be
held accountable for wrong, just as individuals
are. The victory must be won."

CORPSE COUNTS MONEY.
Woman Who Went Back After Her
Gloves Saw Hair. Raising Sight.

A corpse coming to life at the wrong
time gave the police the clue to one q
the cueerest cases in the history of At
lanta criminality.
1t was reported to the police yesterday
by several women of the West end that
George Sherman who lives on Beechaln
street, had been playing the part Oh a
dead man. and by having his 12-year-oid
son appeal to tender charity for money
with which to bury him, had beer
dipping the people. Kelly Sherman, the
young son of the man. stated to rep
resentatiVe of the Constitution yester-
day that this was the game they haze
been playing. He said that his father
would lay himself out like a dead man
and would send him out to beg for
money for the burial. The boy succeed
ed in enlisting the sympathies of sew
eral women of the West end. who went
to the dirty ill-kept home, and seeing
lying on the bed what they believed to
be the dead body Of the father, gave
a sufficient amount of money to have
the body given a decent burial.
Several minutes after the women had
left the home, one of them discovered
that she had left one of her gloves, and
going back to the house in quest of the
lost property she found the corpse sit
ting UP on the side of the bed counting
the burial money. The women did nos

not care to acknowledge that they had
been so badly and easily fooled, bus

on the streets begging money, one oA

and found the boy, Kelly Sherman.
and his little 9-year-old cousin, Susie

ried to police headquarters. where upon
being questioned the boy at first denied
that his father had been playing the

FOUR-TRACK CAR FLOATS.
Enormous Loads Carried by the Float
Inc. Tzrai1tt Yarrls il, the IEn.-l.-.-

Enorm Gus Loads Carried by the Float
ing Freight Yards in the Harbor.
On one Of those clustering days of
last week when the wind from the west
seemed to be trying to blow all the
water in the river and bay out through
the Narrows, a big tug appeared to be
making good headway against both
wind ana tide with a Whole freight
yard in tow.
Other tugs were painting and putting
with unwieldy scows and barges and
making little progress, but the Dig tug
got along comfortably, although sand
WICKED between two of the biggest car
floats in the harbor. These big steel
hulled floats each carried twenty eight
freight cars upon their four tracks and
the tug captain skilfully piloted them
into their slips with out a bump.
The burden upon the floats consisted
of at least 1,250000 pounds, if the cars
We're empty, and if loaded it was prob
ably close to 100000 pounds. This
illustrates q remarkable evolution in
the matter of transferring freight cars,
within a comparatively few years.
The first car float is said to have car
ried only one freight car and was re-
garded as a rash experiment, but it
was not long before number of
barges or scows were built to carry
four cars with a platform for hand
4 trucks between them
4 Then the size of the floats developed
/ fore and aft, but retained the loading
and unloading platform, as many OF
them do today for use at the freight
piers Few of these floats carry more
than ten cars but there are others
which are detachable portions of freight
yards to be tOWed from one point to
another. where slips and bridges are
maintained for transferring the loads
without breaking bulk.
Some of these car floats have three
/ tracks abreast and can accommodate
seven ordinary box cars upon eacf
track, but the latest development is this
