Treasury Clerks Are Gagged Like Camorrists

placlta was fixed up as sort of q
glass house, and several hundred
clerks fired out into that. OF course,
the sun beats down on this glass
house from the time that it rises until
it sets, and the result was that about
half the clerks were ill all of the
time from the heat last summer. So
this summer they aave put great
canvas over this glass house, and
keep water running on it all the time.
The poor clerks that work under
this are turned in in the morning,
and the iron gates are closed like q
stone prison, and to get out to get a
bite to eat in the 30 minutes they
have at noon they have to tell their
name, age, nativity, place Of resi-
dence and lot of other family his
tory. At least those who have to eat
say that it seems to them it takes up
enough time to give their pedigree
from the Revolution to now before
they get out without having to do the
same things to get back in, and that
takes up at least 10 minutes from
their scant half hour from eating. It
is said the iron cages are necessary
for the safety of the money which the
clerks are counting, but the treasury
department has been running for
about 100 years with no such safe
guards, and there hasn't been s100
lost in the whole 100 years. So, after
all, the clerks in that section of the
treasury department haven't any
thing over the Camorrists who were
shut up in steel cages every day.

Alexander Bluffs Ajax In HymeneaI Mix-Up

4 LEX Power and Ajax Tobey, two
IA leading members of the colored
back alley 400, who were related by
marriage, inasmuch as Alex had led
Ajax's sister to the hymeneal altar
and promised to provide board and
lodging for the rest of her natural
days, were arraigned before Judge
Douglas of the police court on a
number of charges ranging from
"cussing" to "scrapping."
The statement, made by Alex was,
that the lightning defer invaded his
domicile and in the presence of his
copper colored spouse had used Ian
gauge of a very tabascoitic variety
Alex further testified that he had pick
ed up stick of stove wood with
which he persuaded Ajax to desist.
Unlike his famous prototype, who de-
fled the unseen, Ajax wilted when he
saw that piece Of timber in the mus-
cular hands Of the brawny Alexander,
and beat it. He didn't take time to
leave by the door, but Jumped out of
the back room window, which, In his
precipitate flight he did not stop to
open. The result was disastrous-to

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn
Congregational church, the widow of
DR.. H. w. Thomas read a sermon that
was delivered by him in 1893 on the
occasion of the opening Of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, entitled, "The
Universal Brotherhood Of Man. In
the audience of over 1000 persons who
heard the original sermon there were
representatives of every race and ma
ton in the world. 1t was a plea for
the abolition Of race prejudice and an
exposition of the common interests of
all human beings. The sermon was a
remarkable one in the undisputable
facts it contained. 1t said: ''The hui
man mind is the same wherever hui
man beings live. 1t puts men on
common plane, above every other form
of life or matter. Be he European,
Celestial, Jew or African, he stands
above everything around him. HUI
man conscience is the same every
where. 1t tells every human being to
do what he thinks is right. It is the
common possession of men of every

Upon the solid rock of the
rights of the individual as grant
ed by the Constitution, the Re-
publican party builds its struc-
ture Of optimism. The Demo-
cratic party, on the other hand,
in the opening sentence of it's
address to the electorate, be-
trays it's occasional quality by
denying the right of Congress-, a
right again and again confirmed
Wy the Supreme Court, to estab-
Iish protective duties for the ben
eft of American industries. 1t de-
cIares as false the vital issue of
the constitutional liberties of the
Individual. Such liberties are
now assaulted by those who advo-
cate the overthrow of the indie
pendence of the judiciary. 1t

fenseIess in the protection of
