Governor Hendricks, in his message to
the Indiana legislature, says "Thc public
peace has ON more than one occasion been

and that during its most serious aspects,
the governor Of the state was not there to
exercise the authority vested in him for Its
suppression, but was in the east hob-nob-
bing with Tlden over that double-headel
letter of acceptance. The governor adds
"In no instance has the authority aud pow
er of the United States bccn invoked, but
in every instance the people preserved the
public peace" Yes, because no political
disturbance occurred IN Indiana which the
authorities declared themselves powerless
to suppress, and if the greatest dist urbance

was out of the state, had been Of political
nature, some authority besides his would
have been necessary to preserve the peace.

The wiseacres who know so much that

ing that Senators CoNOvER, SPENCER and
PATTERSON were to vote with the Demo-
Gratis on all questions relating to the South.
They are greatly confounded by the action
Of those Senators on the questions that have
already come up for consideration. They
adhere to their party faith with their ac-
customed fidelity, and stand shoulder to
shoulder with the most faithful. This is
gratifying, and only shows how their pa
triotism and fidelity have been underrated
by the enemies of Republicauism.

Some weeks since the TRIBUNE, in
speaking of the conditions and needs OF
the homesteaders in Emmett and adjoill-
ing counties, took the ground
that the condition of all those
soliciting aid ut the hands of the
benevolent should be carefully looked i'm
to. and If deserving, they should be as.
sisted, otherwise not. The opinion was
also expressed that there were many who
were shiftless and would not work. and
questioned the policy of assisting those
who were too indolent 10 work. These
positions were taken after mature delib-
Grafton and personal observations and ex-
aminatiOns among this class of citizens.
We did not discourage the giving of aid
AND comfort to the really needy and de-
serving, but we simply took the ground
that great care should be taken in the
distribution of supplies, and that no aid
should be given to those who were able
to work and could secure work to do.
The TRIBUNE was quite severely criticised
for publishing such statements to the
world, as they might have tendency to
discourage the sending of supplies.


The course which affairs have taken in
PetOskey during the past few days shows
the wisdom of our position. The Pc Os-
key Democrat, of the 2d inst, contains "a
notice that Bond & Ingalls,, of that place,
and w. E. Parker, of Little Traverse. de-
sire to employ men to cut wood at sew
enty-iive cents cord, which is fair pay.
but that very few of those men who are
in destitute circumstances will work. 1t
says that some men who worked fer Bond
& ingalls, last winter for the same price
will not work now, and asks ''wly these
things are thusly?" Our answer is that
it is because they think that they can live
without work. As long as they can draw
supplies from the ''reliet fund" jut that
long they won't work. The manner in
which the relief business has been man
aged has led to that result. We are in
formed that a member of the committee
visited the relief rooms Friday last
week, that being distributing day" and
tried to persuade some of the mel to go
to work, but it was without avail. Now


there is something radically wrongabout
this. If the men were able to wvk and


can secure work, and the Democrt says


there is now work enough for al they
should not be allowed to live on Clarity.


1t is not justice. There are dobtless
some who deserve charity. These hOuld
be aided, but the relief should OF be
so general as to induce Incidence.


In the transactions Of the distributing
committee We notice that nenon is
made about aid in ChebOygan cunty.
We have stated repeatedly that Cbboy-
gan county does not solicit aid from
abroad. She will take care of the eedy
in the county without outside aid.

lhe owners Of the Patterson silk mills
have had some quarrel with their weavers,
the latter left their looms without notice,
and neglecting to finish the job in hand
according to contract-th. warps being
greatly injured, if not ruined, by being go
abandoned-have been committed to an.
swer in a suit Of damages. 1t is stated
that the weavers have united to provide
means for the defense of the imprisoned
men, and it is to hoped the mill.owners
will be equally determined, and will make
this test case, just as in another direction
the men who terrorized the coal-fields were
put down by the law. If they do not take
this stand, other men will be encouraged to
strike in the same way, and the effecs may
be disastrous. There is no doubt but these
Patterson weavers can be properly held on
a charge of conspiracy. Men can stop
work if they are SO minded, but they must
not break engagements without fair notice
in doing so, nor must they leave matters in
such shape as to entail loss upon their
employers,-to do these things ia to delib>
erately subvert the law, and they can be
held amenable therefor. Strikers have
been taught one needed lesson in being
shown that they will be surely punished
for intimidating or assaulting such Of their
more sensible companions who decline 10
join in their frantic schemes, and now
they need to learn this companion fact,
that employers have rights as we'll as en-
ployees, and that valuable machinery and
material are committed to their care for
other purposes than to be spoiled or wasted
A few actions for conspiracy to injuse may
throw more light on this matter than rea-
son or argument appears to have been able
to do. ..... ..... ,


If men leave an employment for any
cause, they ought to give notice of their in
tention, and above all things, do no injury
to their employers, tools, machinery, or

What are the whispering voices
That awake at twilight fall?
Do they come from the golden sunset
With their haunting, haunting call!
They tell me OF breezy spring-times,
And of dreamy summer ewes,
And of snow-wreaths merrily shaken
From the shining ivy leaves.
But the far-off treble changeth
To a tenor tone, and so
i know that the voices tell me
Only of long ago.
What are the tuneful voices
That of early dawn are b,rn?
Do they come from the orient portals
OF the palace of the morn?
They tell of golden city,
With pesrl and jasper bright,
And of shining forms that beekon
Out of the dazzling light.

Blends with the vision clear,

MANS RELATIONSHIP. - The true
worth aud dignity of man, as revealed
in the light OF the Cross, consist not in
any accidental possessions, but in that
nature bestowed at birth upon all alike.
1t is this nature which mon overlook,
and fail to enter in that column which
represents kinship and obligation.
Hence they ignore the fratcrnal rela-
ton of man with man. If they help
the lowly, it is in patronizing sort Of
way, and not as a man helps his own
brother. They despisc the very ones
they benefit. They see no dignity,
no value, in people who cannot push
their way in the world, or better their
low estate. They do not respect those
whom they support, nor love those
whom they are helping to make love-
ly. These people undoubtedly do much
good, but in spite of the good such peo-
pie do, they do not do their full duty.
Their hearts are not lifted to the level
Of Christian requirement Patronage
is not brotherhood. The poor are not
to be treated and thought of as lower
class of creatures providentially placed
in our charge to control and educate.
They are to be regarded as common
sharers with us in one and the same
human nature; and this fact is to be
regarded by us as sufficient, not alone
TO save them from contempt, but 10
place them, as brothers and sisters,
among the foremost of earth.

An extract from the St. Paul Pic neer Press, which we print elsewhere, calls attention to the fact that Major Powell's theory that the land capable of being cultivated in this country is nearly all taken up is incorrect. We think Major Powelrs time could be better employed than in attempting to prove that the valuable public lands belonging 10 the nation are nearly ex- hausted, especially as his theory is based upon an imaginary line, by which he separates the arid and hu- mid territory. The fact is that the ex- tent of arabic land Tn the region west of the State of Missouri is far greater than it was supposed to be thirty years ago. many of the best lands in Kansas and Nebraska being included within the space which was then marked on the maps as a part of the Great Amer ican Desert.

 Major Powell moreover loses sight of the fact that by planting forests in those Western regions the amount of rainfall can be considerably increased. His theory is moreover contradicted by the facts, for there are millions of acres of land in the region west of his imaginary line which are capable of being cultivated, as is proven by the thousands of productive farms which can to-day be seen there on just such lands. Major Powell's reckless state ments have really done injury to the credit of the country, and we are therefore glad 10 find them contradict ed by Western journals which are per fectly familiar with the facts. We al- ways prefer facts to theories.-Nation- al Republican. Aug. 9.

An exchange says: As the trials oi life thicken and the dreams of other days fade, one by one, in the deep vista of disappointed hope, the heart grows weary of the struggles, and we begin tc realize our insignificance. Those who have climbed 10 the pinnacle of fame, or revel in luxury and wealth, go to the grave at last with the poor mendi cant who begs pennies by the wayside and like him are soon forgotten. Gen erations after generations, says an elo uuent modern writer, have felt as we feel, and their fellows were as active in life as ours are now. They passed away as vapor, while Nature wore the same aspect of beauty as her Creator commanded her to be. And so, like. wise, shall it be when we are gone The heavens will be as bright over our graves as they are now around our path: the world will have the same attraction for otfsprIngs yet unborn and that she had once for our elves, and that she has now for her chil- dren. Yet a little while and all this will have happened. Days will con tinue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard in every chamber in which we die; and the eye that mourned for US will be drIed, and will glisten with joy, and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names.

II intolerant skeptics and superstitious

following extract from an article in the
New York World, of Wednesday last,
the society would be spared a good deal

its great boast and its great lack-charity:
" If the reasonings OF the various sciences
were applied to one another as indis

and those of science 10 theology, we
should have a conflict of the sciences, as
well as conflict between religion and

the consideration of the heavenly bodies

come chaos. We are not entitled for
thisreason to consider geology unfounded
If the crystallographer should insist on
the classification of animals according to
angels, faces and specific gravity, wall
of anguish would arise from the z3OlOgica
collections of the world. On this account
is crystallography absurd When a

we to reject religion, the chief center of
all that we call pure and goOdi And if
science advances some doctrine that
throws radiant light across the realm
of nature, but stands in conflict with our
present views of the bible, are we justified
in proclaiming an antagonism between
religion and science? A deeper view of
both religion and science, broader view
of their history, faint glimpse of the
one cause movable or unknowable of
both nature and spirit, would make both
sides more prudent and more tolerant.

q Thank God, the days of the hump

temporary suspension of the patient in a

man of nineteen, who had suffered from
an angular curvature of the spine, the
angle of this curvature being about 130
degrees, and was only able to move about
