A Brave Preacher.

In old world splendor, with flunkies and
decorations galore, the Chicago meat packers and
their friends gave grand banquet at the Con-
gress hotel in Chicago last Monday night. The
affair cost little over $125000 and was much
enjoyed by all present.
Among the guests was the Rev. Rufus A.
White, pastor of the Peoples Liberal church. By
some strange oversight Rev White was put down
for brief address, in response to the toast,
"The Social Side of Business Rev. White was
so carried away by the occasion as to forget to
whom he was speaking and expressed himself
in the following speech:
'In just the degree that you create doml-
nant and exclusive class of captains of industry,
each having despotic rule over thousands OF rou-
tine subordinates from whom all aspiration and
ambition has been crushed out by the hopeless
of advancement, in just that degree you
have weakened the citizenship of America.
When these words fell from his lips Nelson
Morris, Edward +. Swift, Lawrence II. Armour
and a score other prominent packers almost
swooned away. According to subsequent reports
they have not yet been able adequately to express
their feelings.
Aside from Rev Whites singing little speech
everything went off per arrangement Powder
ed flunkes, arrayed in knee breeches and cream
ale about and kept up the supply of brandy. The
tables were set in grove and pack of fox
hounds led the guests to the banquet avenues.
Each course announced by gold-braded bug
lers. Roast beef was carved at table by white
capped cooks and church warden pipes were
handed about in lieu of cigars. Each guest was
attired in a red English hunting jacket present.
ed as souvenir by the hosts. 1t is evident from
all reports that, though the banquet cost but
$125,000, everybody had grand time OF it.
Since beef-steak is only twenty-five cents a
pound we all pleased, surely, to learn that the
packers themselves are not starving. A little
lunch like this now and then should keep them in
fair physical shape to see their work is properly
done for them. And we are sure the few thou
sand laborers of Packingtown who do the mere
work of the packing houses will feel gratified to
learn how economically their money is being used

A Lobby Against Health.

Those readers of our columns who have been
following our exposition of the tuberculin test
of milk and its necessity will be surprised to
learn that the State Health Department framed
and presented to the Indiana Assembly of last
year bill making the test compulsory, and that
this bill mangled and twisted by the legis-
lators it actually functions to discourage the test
Such, however, the case.
1t is interesting to note that the lobby con-
Quoted against this bill as recommended by the
State Department composed of dairymen
and breeders from various parts of the state, es-
pecially the north. Their influence was strong
enough to compel the law makers to insert two
three jokers in the statute in such way to
render the entire legislation imperative.
These gentlemen who killed this necessary
and inevitable piece of law making were actuated
solely by motive the commercial That alone
weighed with them, it seems. They were afraid
of losing few head of cattle in case they
compelled to use this scientific and everywhere
recommended means of protecting the public
against bovine tuberculosis
Isaiah said: Il will make of more worth
than fine gold These lobbyists said Il will
make cow of more worth than child
In all probability these very gentlemen were
filled with indignation when they learned of Null

against the corruption of our national congress-.
But where is the steel, oil, sugar lobbyist
who has done more reprehensible trick than
this very piece of lobbying carried on by Indiana
farmers and dairymen?
We may rejoice in the connection to learn that
this piece of dangerous law doctoring has not met
with the approval of the representative dairymen
of the state and that they have more than once
in their own association recommended the tuber-
cun test.

AMONG THE ROCKS.

Oh good gigantic smile o the brown old earth,
This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet
For the ripple over in its mrth;
Listening the while, where the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-ark twitters sweet.
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true;
Such is lfe's trial. old earth smiles and knows
If you lived only what worth your love-
Love clear gain, and wholly we'll for you:
Make the low nature better by your throes!
Give earth yourself, go up for gain above!
Robert Browning.
