Professor Swing on Labor and Capital, Inter Ocean: Professor Swing ■ preached a remarkable sermon yesterday, taking for his subject tho strikes and riots of hist July. While complimenting the law abiding laborers of Pullman and other localities, he spoke in terms of the strongest condemnation of despotic lenders who precipitated the strike ami encouraged insurrection. “The flag of labor,” he declared, “is a perfectly glorious one—too grand to be carried by a fanatic or a simpleton or a criminal.” One purpose of the address was to show that there is less hostility between capita! and labor than between labor and labor. Carpenters are not anxious to pay largo bills to tailors, nor blacksmiths large plumbers’ bills, nor laborers of any guild high prices for products the result of labor on the farm. Every man wants to earn as much money as possible by his own labor and to pay out us little as possible for the labor of others. This provokes hostility, not between labor am! money, but between laborer and laborer, and here comes in the appli cation of the Christian idea of pi in ciple. Professor Swing does not hold recently imported foreigners responsible for the anarchistic and insurrectionary spirit that manifested itself this summer, but credits the prevailing diseon tent largely to Americans. On this point he said : “We have of late years been produc ing a group of Americans who care nothing for right or wrong, ami who have become the masters of all the forms of abuse and discontent. It is evident that the influx of anarchists ought to cease, but we must not forget the crop our nation is growing out of its own soil. All the cities set m unit ing to make law ridiculous. The alien who will sell his vote for a few whit lings is not so low as the American who will prefer these votes to princi , pies. The immigrant may act thus ; through the absence of patriotism for . his new land, but the American acts through total depravity. The foreign era are generally manipulated by po litical confidence men who are home made.” I _ LOCAL BRUITS. I , There was a partial eclipse of the moon on Friday evening of last week.

The Necessity of Composure. One thing that, if not a necessity, j 8 at least conducive to comfortable'living, is hardly appreciated even by those who most need it. This is tlm need of having some time each dav entirely alone. It is impossible to live comfortably without composure of mind, and there is no way of securing it so surely us to spend a short time each day (and a long time is even better) in silence, and i oe from inter ruptions. It is soothing to tiled nerves, and strengthem g to a tired mind. The person who does not like to be alone, who doos not even strongly desire to bo alone once in a while is already on tho highroad towards jR health. It is the only way to have re lief from the confusion of always being in some one’s presence, which will sooner or Inter, either affect tho nerves or weaken the mind. Wherever, or however, yon then, see to it that you have at leMi one hour out of every twenty four that . you can cull your own. Some busy I people may at first think this is im-■ possible; but we rarely find anyone who doos not waste more than this ■ every day, ami who is not the worse off for the waste. The very act of taki g! this hour strengthens the will and adds that much to the comfort of living, since a weak willed person is at the mercy of every thing and every person that encroach upon his lights; ami not the least of these is the right to live a healthy, comfortable life.—From •‘Sanitarian;” Demorest’s Magazine for October.
