Kitten in Revolt.

A remarkable case of filial ingratt
tude on the part of a black kitten has
occurred in Liverpool, England. A
few days ago a customer threw a
piece of meat between them, which
was secured by the mother cat. To
the surprise of everybody, the kitten
sprang at his mother and drove her
out of the house. Since then he has
mounted guard over the doors to pre-
vent her return, and, although she
has attempted time after time to re
turn to her old home, her stern, un-
bending, and ungrateful son bars the
way.

Rapid Growth of Capital.

Gentlemen. labor will never be 'liqul-
dated as long as capital grows raster
than population. But if capital accupmula-
tions fall off, if our earnings fall off or our
savings fall off, if we become inefficient
i'm production or wasteful in expenditure
then there will be danger that every
body will be 'liquidated.'
Il think that we are bound to recog-
pize that terribly mistaken and mis-
guided as the labor organization at
times have been, they have also shown d
very noble spirit of brotherhood and self
sacrifice. spirit indeed that is of the
very essence of social progress. 1t is n
class spirit a class consciousne S, class
devotion, but all the institutions of So
ciety have developed from the earlier and
smaller groups.
There are these two essentials for a
progressive people: there must be gains
in the efficiency of the population and
gains in available capital to hnance
greater efficiency. 1t used to be said out
west that a farmer was always striving
TO grow more corn 10 feed more hogs to
bly, more land to grow more corn etc.
ad infinitum. And SO gains in efficiency
and in capital react upon each other in
definitely And if the bankers have u be-
ter comprehension of the common inter-
ests of the community than any other
class of people. it is for them to lead in
the work of educa ton.
