‘‘Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; for the judgment’s is God’s; and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me and I wilt hear it.” This year's college commence-; ments have been joined by an inno-’ vation at Harriman, Teiin. The! Temperance University at that place; graduated a class of ten, equally di-j vided as to sex. The first year of' this new institution has been very successful, two hundred and fifty' students having been enrolled.

A New York physician has trained; i microscope on a telephone receiver' that enjoys an extended and miscellaneous acquaintance, and the hor-j rible things he saw, according to hisj iccount, were frightful enough toj give a sober man delirium tremens.i Pestilence and black death lurk in aj mysterious way their murders to; oerform, and the bacteria are forev-! ?r seeking whom they can devour. The new postmaster at Lisbon is: i curiosity according to all accounts.; He is not at all impressed with thei aurry and rush of modern times and| mnsiders that there is no necessity' for rushing things. He is charged! with saving up the mail matter de-! posited in his office till lie gets a bag-; ’ul and is entirely oblivious to the schedule fixed by the Department} ’or the arrival and departure of nails. Recent investigations of the ancestral line of Abraham Lincoln, in Berks county, Pennsylvania, where; the family settled in 173(1, show that out one direct descendant of the; name survives. His name is John! Lincoln, and he is an inmate of thei Berks County Almshouse. Abraham Lincoln, who was President* Lincoln’s grandfather, was a distinguished man in his da} - , and held! many official positions, being, wealthy and very enterprising.

There are really a few dudes in. Indiana who feel offended when anyone refers to their personality by using the- term “Hoosier.” Anyone who is ashamed of the record of diana and who is “too nice” to ac cent that good old-fashioned nick - name might as well be transported to some foreign shore. We don’t need such people in The Old Hoosier State. - —- For tis grand, it is great And we're glad we're a Hoosier, as we say, For the gas it is a flowin'. And the corn it is a growin'. And pumpkin pie and turkey's on the way.

“Dr." W. H. Hale. the projector of the Gun Wa Chinese Doctor ‘•fake.’’ recently arrived in New York from England, where lie served 1 a term of imprisonment for fraud. He was immediately arrested andtaken to Denver for trial on the charge of using the United States mails for fraudulent purposes. It is" alleged that Hale made SIO,OOO a month from his various “Gun Wa'l establishments throughout the country’ while they were running, and that the only medicine he ever gave was mountain sage tea. Hale flourTshed atrindi uiapolis foF-a time. but . his “Gun Wa’ parlors on Washington street were found empty one morning and the whereabouts of the enterprising “Dr.” have been unknown until the dispatch announcing his arrest at New York cleared uji the mystery.

Few persons realize or appreciate the benefaction conferred upon the! human race by a great novelist like! Charles Dickens or Walter Scott. Aside from the pleasure and instruction their works afford to their ad- 1 mirers there is a more practical l side to their work. Statistics are difficult to obtain, but when we consider the innumerable editions andi the hundreds of thousands of volumes scattered over the world the aggregate revenue involved in their publication and sale can to a certain extent be understood. The bread and butter of hundreds of employes has thus indirectly come to them because of the wonderful industry and; versatile imaginations of these wizards of the pen. The popularity off (the works of Dickens and Scott eon(tinues unabated and the demand for] itheir books is almost as steady andi J’eliable as the staples of corn and! ■wheat. One printing firm in Edin-i (burg alone for the past thirty years; have uninterruptedly employed thir-i ity hands in the production of Sir; (Walter Scott’s books.

BIBLE LAUGHTER.

“Laugh and the World Laughs With You.” - ' .Unglifrf <>f AH gets mu! the Cocliionation of Ilrvlls—Dr. Talmage’g Sermon. Rev. Dr. Talmage. Who is now in Australia an his Pound the - world - journev, selected as the subject for his sermon through the press, last Sunday. ''Laughter, the text being taken fram _jjsatm_ cxxvi, 2, "Then was our mouth filled with laughter,;’ and Psalm ii. 4, "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh.” Thirty-eight times does the Bible make reference to this configuration of the features and quick expulsion of breath which we call laughing. Sometimes it is born of sunshine and sometimes the midnight. Sometimes it stirs the sympathies.of angels, and sometimes the cachinnation of devils. All healthy people laugh. Scene, an oriental tent; occupants old Abraham and Sarah. perhaps wrinkled and decrepit. Their three guests are three angels —the Lord Almighty one of them. In return for the hospitality shown by the old people God promises Sarah that she shall become the ancestress of the Lord Jesus Christ. Sarah laughs in the face of God. She does not believe it. She is affrighted at what she has done. She denies it. She says, "I didn't laugh.” Then God retorted',, with an emphasis that silenced ail disputation. “But thou didst laugh!” My friends, the laugh of skepticism, in ail ages, is only the echo of Sarah's laughter. God says .he will accomplish a thing, and men sav it can not be done. A great multitude laugh at the miracles. They sav they arc contrary to the laws of nature. What- is a law of nature? It is God s way of doing a thing..

My friends, there is not a doctrine or statement of God’s holy word that has not been derided by the skepticism of the day. I take up this book of King James’s translation. I consider it a perfect Bible, but here are skeptics who want it torn to pieces. And now, with this Bible in my hand, let me tear out all those portions which the skepticism of this day demands shall be torn out. What shall go first? "Well,” says some one in the audience, "take out ill that about the creation and about the first settlement of the world.” Away goes Genesis. ''Now,’ savs some one, "take out all that about the miraculous guidance of the children of Israel in the wilderness.” A wav goes Exodus. "Now.” says some one else in the audience, “there ire things in Deuteronomy and Kings that are not tit to be read. Away go Deuteronomy and the Kings. "Now.” says some one. "the Book of Job is a fable that ought to come out.” Away goes the book of lob. “Now,” says some one, “those passages in the “New Testament which imply the divinity of Jesus Christ ought to come out. Away vq the evangelists. “Now,' says some one. “the book of Revelation how preposterous! It represents a :nan with the moon under his feet ind a sharp sword in his hand. ’ Away goes the book of Revelations. Now there are a few pieces loft. What shall we do with them? “Oh," Bays some man in the audience, "I don’t believe a word in the Bible, from one end of the Bible to the other.” Well, it is all gone. Now you have put out the last light for the nations. Now it is pitch darkness of eternal midnight. How do you like it? The next laughter mentioned in the Bible is David’s laughter, or the expression of spiritual exultation. “Then was our mouth filled with laughter.” He got very much down sometimes, but there are other chapters where for lour or five times he calls upon the people to praise and exult. It was not a mere twitch of the lips. It was a demonstration that took hold of his whole physical nature. “Then was our mouth filled with laughter. My friends, this world will never be converted to God until Christians cry less and laugh and sing more. The horrors are a poor bait. If people are to be persuaded to adopt our holy religion it will be because they have made up their minds it is a happy religion. They don't like a morbid Christianitv. "

When Theodosius was put upon the rack he suffered very great torture at the first. Some one asked him how he endured all that pain on the rack. He replied: “When I was put on the rack I suffered a great deal, but very soon a young man in white stood by my side, and with a soft and comfortable handkerchief he wiped the,sweat front my brow, and mv pains wore relieved. It was a punishment for me to get from the rack, because when the pain was all gone the angel was gone. Oh. rejoice evermore. You know how it is in the army—an army in encampment. If today news comes that our side has had defeat, and tomorrow another portion of the tidings comes, saying we have had another defeat, it demoralizes all the host. But if the news comes of victory today and victory to-morrow the' whole army is impassioned for the contest. The next laughter mentioned in the BibleYhat I shall speak of is the fool’s laughter, or the expression of siuful merriment. Solomon was very quick at simile. When he makes a comparison, we all catch it. What is the laughter of a fool like? He says, “it is the crackling of thorns under a pot.” The kettle is

swung, a bunch of brambles is put under it, and the torch is appliedLtQt. and there is a great noise, and a big blnze, and a sputter, and a quick extinguishment. Then it is darker htan it was before. Fool's laughte The most miserable thing on earth is a bad man’s fun. There they are ---ten men in a barroom; they have at home wives, mothers, daughters. The impure jest starts at one corner of the barroom, and crackle, crackle, crackle, it goes all around. In 500 such guffaws there is not one item of happiness. They all feel bemeaned, if they have any conscience left. Have nothing to do with men or women “who tell immoral stories. I have no confidence either in their Christian character or their morality. So all merriment that springs out of the defects of others—caricature of a lame foot, or a curved spine, or a blind eye, or a deaf ear — will be met with the judgments of' God either upon you, or upon your childreu. Twenty years ago I knew a man who was particularly skillful in imitating the lameness of a. neighbor. Not long ago a son of the skillful mimic had his leg amputated for the very defect ‘ which his fafher had mimicked years before. I do not say it was a judgement of God. I leave you to make your own inference. The next laughter that I "shall mention as being in the Bible is the laugh of God's condemnation. "He that sitteth in the condemnation will laugh at him.” Again. "I will laugh at his calamity.” With such demonstration will God greet every kind of sin and wickedness. But men build up villainies higher and higher. Good men almost pity God. because he is so schemed against by men. Suddenly a pin drops out of the machinery of wickedness, or a secret is revealed, and the foundation begins to rock. Finally, the whoje thing is demolished. What is the matter? I will tell-you what the matter is. That crash of ruin is only the re verberation of God’s laughter. Rome was a great empire; she had Horace and Virgil among her poets: she had Augustus and Constantine among her emperors. But what mean the defaced Pantheon, and the Forum turned into a cattle market, and- the broken walled Coliseum, and the architectural skeletons of her great aqueducts. What was that thunder? “Oh,” you say, “that was the roar of the battering rams against her walls.” No. What was that quiver? “Oh,” you say, “that was the tramp of hostile legions.” No. The quiver and the roar were the outburst of omnipotent laugh ter from the defied and .insulted heayons. Rome ylefied God and He laughed her down. Nineveh defied God, and He laughed her down. Babylon defied God, and Be laughed . her down. ./

There is a great difference between God’s laugh and his smile. His smile is eternal beatitude. He smiled when David saner, ami Miriam clapped the cymbals, and Hannah made garments for her son, and Paul preached.and John kindled with apocalyptic vision, and when any man has anything to do and does it well. His smile! Why, it is the 15th of May, the apple-orchards in full bloom; "it is morning breaking on a rippling sea; it is heaven at high noon, and the bells beating, the marriage peal, but his laughtermay it never fall on us! It is a condemnation for our sin; it is a wasting away. We may let the satirist laught at us, and all our companions may laugh at us, and we may be made the target of merriment of earth and hell, but God forbid that we shftuld ever come to the fulfillment of the prophesy against the rejectors of the truth, “I will laugh at your calamity.”

The other laughter mentioned in the bible—the only one I shall speak of—is heaven’s laughter, or the expression of eternal triumph. Christ said to his disciples, “Blessed are ve that weep now. for ye shall laugh." That makes me know positively that we are not to spend our day in heaven singing long meter psalms. The formalistic and stiff notions of heaven that some people have would make me miserable. I am glad to know that heaven of the bible is uot only a of holy worship, but of magnificent sociality. We shall laugh. Yes, we shall congratulate all those who have come out~of great financial embarrassments in this world because they have become millionaires in heaven, Ye shalLiaugh. It shall be a laugh of reassociation. It is just as natural for us to laugh when we meet a friend we have not sefen for years as anything is possible to be natural' When we meet our friends from whom we have been parted ten of twenty or thirty years, will it not be with infinite congratulations? Our perception quickened, our knowledge improved, we will know each other at a flash. We will have to talk over all that has happened since we have been separated, the one that has been ten years in heaven telling us all that has happened in the ten years of his heavenly residence, and we telling him in return all that has happened during the ten years of his absence from earth. Yc shall laugh. You know how the Frenchmen cheered when Napoleon came back from Elba. You know how the Englishmen cheered w’nfen Wellington came back from Waterloo, You know how Americans cheered when Kossuth arrived from Hungary. You know how Rome cheered when Pompev came back victor over nine hundred cities. Every cheer was a laugh. But, olr, the mightier greeting, the gladder greeting, when the s now-white cava.ry troop of heaven shall go through the streets, and,

according to the book of Revelation .Clm&t, iu tfofe crimson coat, on a white horse, and all the armies of heaven following on white horses! Oh, when we see and hear that cavalcade, we shall cheer, we shall laugh. Does not your heart beat quickly at the thought of the great jubilee upon which we are soo i to enter? I pray God that when we getthrough with this world and are leaving it we mav have some such vision as”the dying’Christian had when he saw written all over the clouds in~thc sky the'letter ir W,” and they asked ‘him. standing by his side, what he' thought the letter “W” meant. “Oh. that stands for welcome.” he said. And so may it be when we quit this world, “W” on the gate, “W” on the door of the mansion. “W” on the throne. Welcome! Welcome! I have preached this sermon w ith five prayerful wishes that you might see what a mean thing is the laugh of skepticism, what a bright thing is the laugh of spiritual exultation, what a hollow thing is the laugh of condemnation, what a radiant, rubicund thing js the laugh of eternal -triumph- Avoid the ill. Choose the right. Be comforted. "Blessed are ye that weep now--=ye'shail laugh, yeshalHaugh.”

DISPERSED BY SAUERKRAUT.

The Peculiar Cause of All the Children Quitting tne Old Home. Chicago Tribune. They were talking, about the desertion of farms by the younger generation for the alluring charms of the cities; how tlye young men and women left the home nest in the country as soon as they felt any confidence in themselves and flocked to the paved streets and brick walls of urban life in the hope that work would not be so hard and money would come easier. ‘"Our family furnishes a—ease—in point." said a young German who has latterly appeared in minor roles in Twentyfourth ward Democratic politics. "We’re all in the city now except the.old folks, who stick to the farm, and are doing pretty well. Our reasons for abandoning the farm, lmwever. were not those usually given, and 1 doubt if a parallel case can bo found.” Then he told his story: With two brothers and three sisters he lived on a farm 100 miles from Chicago, and they all aided a phlegmatic old father in operating the place, It. was a line piece of land and the family was happy and prosperous. But dark disaster came one day in the shape of a cabbage crop, The Chicago market then showed a strong demand for sauerkraut and the fai-mer decided to go in for a profitable crop. With the three boys he planted several acres 4ft-cabbage with excellent results. The crop was cut up and packed and there wore 350 barrels of the finest sauerkraut made,

Communicating with a friend in -the grocery business on the- North. Side the farmer-received an order tor ten barrels. A few days later the grocer announced that the best he could offer was 85 cents a ; barrel, the top market price. The old man couldn’t stand such a drop as that, so he had the shipment returned, paying freight charges both ways. Purchasing forty fine young pigs, he began fattening them on his high -grade sauer kraut. All went well for a few days, but the porkers soon tired of the diet and began to run from it. The pile grew high, and a few of the stronger pigs jumped the fence and ran away, while the other sickened and grew weak from starvs atiou.

It was a puzzler for the old man, but he was determined to derive, some benefit, and the boys lugged the stuff up to the orchard near the house, where it was spread about as a fertilizer. By this time the entire family grew turbulent at the mere mention, of sauerkraut, and when the sun poured its hot ravs.on the pickled cabbage the girls rebelled. The farmer was obdurate, and the three girls packed their effects and came to the city. The kraut became so -powerful that even the old man could not stand it, and the boys were instructed to cart it down to a distant field and spread it. The boys had been on the verge of mutiny several times and this settled it. They all “lit out” for Chicago and have been here ever since. The girls are in service, and once in a great while they all meet with the lonely and disappointed old Teuton on the farm. When it was all over the Chicago sauerkraut market went booming again.

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, Delies Uncle Sam's Demands. The Mississippi Legislature, at its last = session, passed an act authorizing the Governor, Auditor and Treasurer to issue treasury warrants in denominations of $5, - should it become iloccssary to tide the State over the financial panic, The issue was limited to ?20Uj$00, and the warrants were to draw intermit at the rate of 2 per cent, per annum, payable Jan. 1 of each year until" the Legislature meets again, in 1596, The warrants were made payable to bearer, and it was the intention of the Legislature fir them to pass as money allover the State. Immediately after the passage of the act the State Auditor contracted with the St. Louis Bank Note Company for the printing of the warrants, and tfte first installment of $50,000 was delivered to the State Treasurer and placed in circulation a few days ago. Saturday, Gov. Stone received a dispatch from W. H. Hazen, chief of the United States Secret Service at Washington, demanding that the Governor send to him all of the unsigned warrants that have not been placed in circulation. Mr. Hazen also telegraphed the St. Louis Bank-note Company, demanding that the plates be turned over to the government. In an interview Governor Stone stated that lie would not comply with Mr. Hazen’s demand in any particular, and thatllie issue of the special warrants will bo continued until the full issue of $200,000 is completed. The State officials regard Hazen’s demand as an unwarranted interference and will not treat it seriously. They say that the demands were based on the assumption that these special warrants resembled too closely United States currency, and was violative to the statutes of Unite 1 States. This is strenuously denied by Governor Stoue, who says the act of the Legislature is sustained by the best legal authorities in the country. The Auditor has telegraphed the St. Louis Bank-note Company not to pay any attention to Hazen’s demands.

OKLAHOMA OTTRAGE.

Keveng© Upon the Hock lilanil llailrjad by LawleHS Citizens, Tlvo adverse decision of the Oklahoma Supreme Court on the application of the towns of South Enid and Pond Crock to compel the Rock Island Railroad to build stations and stop trains, has been quickly followed by an outrage. A mile South of Enid the Rock Island bridge was blown up with dynamite, Friday, and a freight train demolished. The engine and a couple of Cars had passed safely over when the dynamite exploded, hurling the train from the track. Thirteen cars wore piled in the ditch and brakeman Cordry. and Larry Lyon, a tramp, wore badly injured. The dynamite was evidently intended for the regular- worth-bound passenger train from Texas, which reached the scene thirty minutes later,and which but for the accident of the freight blockade, caused by the strike, necessitating the running of extra freights now, would have been tin: lirst, train on the bridge.

At, Friday's session of the Senate tin river and harbor appropriation bill,, which usually gives risetosharp debate and eons umes from three days to a week for its comp'otton, was' passed. Another important bill—the legislative, judicial and executive—was immediately taken up and put well on its way towards uassage before the Senate adjourned. A bill for the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at Dubuque, la., was passed. A bill was introduced by Mr, Davis,by request, placing dining and sleeping ear companies under the interstate commerce law. Mr. George introduced a bill to amend the act for the appointment of a board of arbitration between companies engaged in transporting passengers and their employes, approved October, 1838. The House, Friday, agreed to the report of the conferees on the pension bill. Mr. Durborow, of Illinois, rose to a question of personal privilege, and denied that he had ever expressed or entertained 'sentiments attributed to him in an interview which quoted him as taking very strong grounds against the action of the President in ordering Federal troops to Ghicago. At 5 o’clock the House took a recess until 8, the evening session to be devoted to consideration of private pension bills.

The jury in the Barr murder trial at Brazil returned a verdict, Thursday cveing, finding the four hoys, James Booth, Wm.

The three others for complicity in the stoning to death of the engineer will ne giyen separate trials. The Howard Circuit Court has decided that Tipton eounty must support the family of Blufe Faiconberry, a convict. When Faiconberry was sent to prison the Tipton county authorities dumped the family over the Madison county line, hut the woman and seven children were sent back promptly. Suit was brought with the above result. Northern Indiana towns are jealous of Hammond, One paper says: "Hammond is the city that aupears to get all the fun there is going.

Pierrepont Morgan is credited with the intention of erecting a monument over the unmarked grave of brave Molly Pitcher, of Revolutionary celebr't.y, which lies near West Point, adiacent to the Morgan country seat at Highland Falls, on the Hudson.

Didn’t Hit Her.

One of the big ships of the British navy recently ran across a derelict lumber ship in the channel, ‘and after failing to get it in tow determined to blow it up with shells to get it it out of the way of commerce. The great guns were fired at her for a long time, but the vessel refused to be torn to pieces by the terrible missiles in a fashion that was truly mysterious until thel next day, when the derelict went alshorc of her own accord, and it was found that not one of the shelle had hit her.

OTHER NEWS ITEMS.

PULLMAN SPEAKS. George M. Pullman submitted to an interview at New York, Friday, and reiterated his determination not to arbitrate. t He again stated that his shops were being operated at a loss at the time trouble began. He stated that the average rental of tenements at Pullman was at the rate of $3 per room per month. The rental of houses, Mr. Pullman claimed, had no relation whatever to the business of #e Pullman Car Company’s shops. Many Pullman employes own their own homes in adjacent towns. la- conclusion Mr. Pullman said: “ Strenuous efforts have also been made to create a prejudice against the Pullman company by charges that its stock is heavily watered. The Pullman company was organized twentv-seven years ago With a capital Of f1.00J.000, of which twothirds represented the appraised value of its cars, then held by three owners, and one-third represented the appraised value of its franchises and existing contracts. * The company has grown until its sleeping car service covers 125,000 miles of railway, or about three-fourths of the railway system of the country, and that increase of service has necessitated increase of its capital from time to time until it is now $30,000,000. Every share of this increase has been offered to stockholders and sold to them or to others in the ordinary course of business at not less than par in cash, so that for every share of increase outstanding the company has received SIOO in cash. There are over 4,000 stockholders of the company, of whom more than onelialf are women and trustees of estates, and the average holding of each stockholder is now eighty-six shares, one-lifth of them holding less than six shares each. At a labor demonstration held in Cooper ' Union, pn the 12th inst., Henry George, the single tax theorist, delivered an address In which he denounced President Cleveland in unmeasured terms, for using Federal troops at Chicago against the strikers. He supported the stand taken by Gov. Altgeld. Mr. George said he would rather see all the railroad property

of the country burned up,- all the rails torn up. than to see them preserved by force of arms. The millionaires made their money by robbery and debauchery; by the purchase of judges and legislators, and now they wanted to preserve them hv Die hnvonet.s and the arms of the Federai troops. Mr. (ieorge then entered into a lengthy condemnation of President Cleveland and his employment of Federal troops in the West. Every mention of the President’s name was received with hisses, and when Mr. George asked: ‘•What are you fWing to do about it?” A voice shouted: "Impeach him!*’ “Hang him!” shouted another. Nearly everybody followed with suggestions until tho house was in an upfdar. Mr. George differed from all the remedies proposed by his hearers. The system, ho said, would have to be fundamentally changed. Strikeswere useless and always resulted in failure. At this point tho speaker drifted into his well-known single tax theories, and told his audience things would be better w hen his theories shall have been adopted. Archbishop Ireland, of the Catholic Church, in an interview at Sf. Paul, Sunday, said: I dislike to speak of the Chicago strike Localise iu so doing 1 shall blame labor, - while, because of iny deep„>ympathios with it. I should witdrto have never but . words of praise for it. Yet, in a momentous social crisis, such as tho one through which' we are passing, it is a duty to speak aloud and to make the avowals of truths and principles which will save society and uphold justice. The fatal inistake which has'been made in connection witli this strike is that property has been disproved, the-liberty of citizens interfered with, human lives endangered, social order menaced, and the institutions and freedom of the country put in most serious jeopardy. Only savages, or men who for the time being are turned into savages, will burn or destroy property, whet her it be the factory of the"rich' man or the poor man's cottage, a railroad ear or a National building. More criminal and more inexcusable yet is the act. of murdering human beings or of endangering tiieir lives. Labor, too. must learn the lesson that the liberties of the citizen are to be respected. One man lias tin* right to cease work, but he has no right to drive another man from work. Yes, I approve highly of President Cleveland’s course in the strike. His prompt action brought State and city officials, citizens and strikers to their senses and certainly, so far a« ho wont, ho had legal right with him, Mr. Cleveland deserves well of tlje Nation, and of the people of Chicago in particular.

REED’S REVOLUTION,

The Denver Divine Say* He 1« an Anarch. | lit and Predicts lied Kuln. The Rev. Myron W. Reed delivered an address at Denver, Sunday, before a large mefcting held under the auspices of the A. R. U., in which ho declared ho was an anarchist. lie continued by saying: Jesus Christ was not only an anarchist, but was killed by the representatives of the law, the church and the State for daring to practice humanity. Jesus Christ was an anarchist and a socialist, but I never read of his being a deputy sheriff. [Cheers]. Nothing lias discouraged me so much in the past weeks as to see so < many men anxious to take a gun and offer to go out and shoot their followmen for the mere pittance of three dollars per day. 1 look at this effort now being made by such men as Pullman as aneffo'rtto break up all o.y aui/.atlons (it laboring men, so that they can deal with tho workingmen one by oho and gradually got them down to pauperism and serfdom. 1 have been criticized for saying that any man had the right to take his labor away from any employer, but had not the right to interfere with ar.y other man for taking his place. I say now that he has a right to interfere if he does it in a peaceable wav. It is right and just for every man to protect his wages and his job. I also sav that a man who does not belong to a union and stands ready to take another man’s piace at less wages is an enemy. a spy and an obstructor, and ought in .some peaceable way bo removed. He predicted that upless something was speedily done for the laboring classes this country would be plunged into one of the greatest revolutions the world has over seen.
