GATES.
The (Lucite this week unsparingly de-
nouncws the t‘tl_\' authorities because
there are no gates at the railroad cross~
ing. ”or esteemed cotemporary is in
emtl‘. as the dlllllnl’lllfi, by which we
suppose it means the officials. have sub-
mitted the matter to the people. and
they have said no gates. The authori-
ties are not to blame. It is also a very
serious question whether the proposed
8“” would reduce or increase the dam
ger.
Since the last accident the Presidem
of the Consolidated road has stated that
the company is ready to put up the gates
~ as soon as the citizens are agreed that
~ they want/them.
A good many people are not in favor
of gates. and believe they would increase
the danger.
There are other means of protection
which should be considered. and one is
the lessening of the speed of trains over
the crossing. which could be if the Rail-
road Commissioners so decided. 7 The
law provides that the city authorities
shall call out the t‘ommissioners where
there is objection to the speed of trains
through the city.
Another plan ,is for two tlagnicn at the
crossing which undoubtedly would be a
great improvement on the present.
The question to decide is which plan is
the heat. -
IDI'Tl' TU THE STATE.
The strikers. numbering some two
thousand who have been for some days
threatening t‘leveland. says the l‘rovi-
deuce Journal. after having rioted in the
immediate vicinity. are mainly Poles
and Bohemians. and are led with mili-
tary subordination and control by it Be-
hemian. They have a full supply of
revolvers. (in Tuesday some twelve
hundred entered (‘leveland and forced
the closing of the shovel manufacturing
establishment. as they ilid that of the
screw works. battering down ducts and
breaking in Windows. This was because
of a reduction of pay in the rolling mills.
an establishment in which the owners or
directors of the t‘lcveland works were
interested. In short. because of a griev-
ance. real or fancied. these men sought
to destroy whatever property they could
find belonging to. or lll part managed
by. the men by whom they felt therii~
aelvesaggricvcd. The fact that their
conduct affected injuriously. if not dis~
astrously. persons not connected with
the reduction of \vagesaworking people
who depend tip in their daily labor for
the daily support of their fulllllltfl’ «set-ins
not to have had the slightest influence.
The innocent. if any were thought to be
guilty, were confounded with the wrong
doer.
At this point of the proceedings the
question of wages is wholly outside of
consideration. This is an issue by itself.
The one only matter to be thought
of is the violent. illegal. rnonst rous means
taken by the rioters. There is nothing
to be said which has not been sziida
thousand times. but there can be no
silence so long as there is renewed cause
for speaking. llithi-r an end must be
put to this sort of thing or. as is the case
now in Cleveland.
curity tor property. no safety for per
sons. if a certain municipality cannot
protect its inhabitants in their posses-
sions and lives. then that community is.
there will he no se-
free and peaceable and potent govern-
ment. It is idle to talk of the possch
sions of Republican or Democrat institu-
( tions anywhere if business is to be inter-
rupted. or is in danger of being hindered
or delayed. by a mob. The period of an-
archy may be of longer or shorter dura-
tion; so long as it continues. law and
order . right or liberty. are suspended.
It isso far forth as though there were
neither statutes nor courts nor moral
sentiment. no s'ocial obligation nor any
principal of civilized life in. or moving
or restrainingin. that place at that time.
This is something which is of coupe-
quence to all. Not only are the citizens
of one section of the country often di-
rectly and indirectly pecuniarily interest-
ed in the industries of another section.
but even more is this subject of moment
in that no one can be certain when? or
where this mob spirit may break oiit.
/)‘o one can tell to-day if it will i be cori-
~, dried to this or that district. nor how
far it is latent in those localities appar-
ently the most free from it. Nor. indeed.
is there any assurance that these men.
who are commanded in a foreign lan-
guage. are the only ones who are im‘
bued'with a feeling wholly antagonistic
to. not merely progress and prosperity.
but any personal or proprietary liberty
right. It was well said the other day at
the meeting of the American Institute of
Instruction. that the children in our
public schools mightyvell be taught the
duty of obedience to law as the princi-
ples upon which law is founded. \‘ery
clearly. the time is past when we can
live upon and ' boast unqualified of our
tradition. This is a new country in
some vital aspects: those who ignore
that which is so patent and so alarming
are not doing justice to themselves nor
to the State.
WORKING MEN‘S LEA DERS.
Rev. “'ashington Gladden who in
youth was a farmer‘s boy and a mechan-
ics appentice. says:
The law gives to capital an immense
advantage in permitting its consolidation
in great centralised corporations. and
neither law nor justice can forbid
laborers to combine. in order to protect
themselves against the encroachments of
capital. so long as they abstain from the
use of violence. and rely upon reason
and moral influence.
But it needs no prophet to tell that
these societies are liable to become
imrumenta of evil as well asof good.
“happens that a large porportion of the
incubus of most of them are ignorant
man. whose rim-ions are easily excited.
and whemay be led to take very fanati-
calald at-ud views ofthe labor ques~
tin. And whenever any large number
of melt men are brought into company.
the devil. in the form of the demo
kinda! laminate whom the workmen
h “manoeuvre” mau-
' will haveany attraction.
:3"
persecution not much better than viol~
ence. The persim that refuses his assent
to the meaures resolved upon is denounce
ed as a traitor: and a dispoution is
shown to make the place too hot for
him. In such persecution no fair~minded
man will join; to this intimidation no
brave man will submit. Never sell out
your manhood to any man. or set of
men. Do not be bribed or coaxed or
bullied into doing what you think is not
right. Let nobody decide for you what
is right. Make up your own mind. and
stand by it. no matter what it costs.
These labor~unions have certain
rules that cannot be defended on any
principle of justice. They often forbid
their members to work in company with
nonunion men. and force employers to
discharge all such persons. They will not
suffer a boy to learn their trade. unless
his father belongs to their society. This
is nothing but di‘spotisiii. despotism of
the most brutal sort; working—men ought
to be ashamed to resort to it.
The leaders of these societies tell us it
is necessary that they should combine.
to resist the extortions of capitalists: and
that their combinations will amount to
nothing. unless there is firm discipline
in their‘rrinks. \‘es. “discipline;‘ that
was precisely what the lords of the lash
on the Southern plantations used to call
it: that is just what all the despots that
havi- ever trampled on tho liberties of
men have always called it. The word
sounds well: but sometimes. when most
sweetly spoken. it means tyranny. And
I say that any man of proper spirit will
be careful how he puts his neck into the
yoke of this “disciplinc;" and will resist
iiiito blood. rather than sutl'errit to be
bound upon him by any power what

This subject has already been discussed
by correspondents in our columns. and
in the editorial columns. of some of our
conterntmraries. The Rev. A. ll. liriid-
ford. Ii. ll.. of Moritcluir. N. .I.. has rc-
cently made a valuable coritirbrition to
the subject. having first ipizililied him—
self by special inipiiiies in England. and
extensive cs-rrcspondcnce iii our own
country. He has published the results
in the ('Iirrsh‘rrii l'nr‘on. and in the fol-
lowingquotations gives a summary of
facts and :issigiiiai reasons. togi‘llicr With
his own comments :

6. About as many seem to think scr«

than .in churches as take t‘ieoiiposite
view. The weight of the opinions ex‘
pressed in the letters favors services in
the churches rather than in the balls.
7. Some object to the contribution—
box. and some do not.
Some of the letters are simple expiri-
sions of spleen. but most of them are en~
titled to careful consideration. In. some
cases the true answer is given. and in
others answers which are believed to be
true but which are not true.
The greatest of all causes of non-church
attendance. not only among artisan
classes. but among all classes; is not even
mentioned in these letters. Mr. Henry
George paints .a glorious picture of the
time coming when the State will
own all the land. or when. at least. the
land will pay all the tartan. He. too. has
left out the principal factor in the pro-
blem of human wickedness and miserv.
When the land pays the taxesdlie attract~
ions of dime theaters. the fascination of
roller-skating. the delights of evenings
under electric lamps. will not have dini~
inislied. People will crowd to the cities
and desert the country just the same.
All classes neglect churches primarilv
for one reason: they are not interested iii
religion. tine man goes to Ooney Island.
another makes plans for enlarging his
business. another walks in parks with his
children. another stays at home and
reads lugersoll. and all are church-neg-
lectors for exactly the same reason—
the depravity of human nature. He who
cares nothing for religion. and lives an
animal life, whether he be millionaire
or pauper. will not. be found in the
churches. No service which does not
bury Christ beneath meaningless; forms
One gentle-
man to whom I sent letters to be placed

It is the calm conviction 0 years of med-

the amelioration of the condition of the

angels for a choir. and an arch-angel
who always speaks without notes for the
teacher, and a trained company of re
Marti-ans for ushers, would fail

tion that those who were to be reached
did not love darkness rather than light.
We must recognise that a prejudice is

supposed to be real? if prejudices are
destroying souls. then the church must
attack the pre udices. The Son of man
came to save e lost. We are continu-
ing his work. It is absurd to be content
with saying. There is room for all in
our church. and all are welcome. Prej-
iidices will lock a door tighter than bolts.
it is the dirty of the church to be sure
that it never gives the sli htest basis for
prejudices against it. but man who
said that lie believed that there was not
a minister in the State of New Jersey
who would not court the rich and des-
pise the poor must have had some reason
for that statement. Some one is to blame
for that opinion beside the man who
holds it. If it is only a prejudice it
most be removed before he can be
helped. A million ministers saying come
would do him no good. He must be.
taught that his opinion is false. As a
matter of tact. in most churches the poor
are just as welcome as the rich. if they
\vill come; but. in nine cases out of ten.
an unchristian rich man is sought. and
courted. and called upon. while the
Christian poor man is simply left to him-
self. The one is just as welcome as the
other. and yet the one is sought and the
other is not.
Deniinclatltiu of Labor l‘nloiis.
In court at Washington yesterday
J'uil'ge Snell. in disposing of a case grow-
ing out of threats made by union tailors
against non~iinioii men. said : “This isn
land of freedom and foreigners come
here to enjoy American freedom. They
get a higher price for their labor than
they ever did before. as the labor statis~
tics of other countries show. You come
here from Italy. ticrrnanv. Austria and
every other country. and as soon as you
get here you join a labor union and pro-
pose to control the price of labor in this
country. The people of iliiscountry are
not going to stand this. The time will
soon come when persons in this country
will be able to employ laborers as cheap
as they can and pay them in pniportiori
to their work. without the interference
of labor unions. The greatest nuisances
we have in this country are these infer
rial unions. and the sooner we get rid of
them the better. These men are made
tools of by the unions and go to non.
union men under the pretext of giving
friendly advice. They are sent as riies~
sengers. just the same as by the old Ku~
Klux mode."

Among the decisions given l~_v Grand
Master llugli Muway at the flIlllillll
communication of tlietirzirid Miisoriid
lodge of Canada I“. & A. M.. last week
are the following:
Quakers cannot be made Masons. An
aliirmationation in lieu of an oath is not
adinissable. i‘andirlates before initiation
are required to declare their belief in a
Supreme Being who has revealed his
will to luau arid the llible as His rcveiil~
ed will. Anatheist Mason. afrcc think—

presses Contempt for God. should he

laid down in Masonic tracts. An liidiari

t‘olor. creed or country is2no bar to initia-
tion. The action of King Solomon lodge
of Toronto in expelling Brother llarri-
son several months ago on acharge of
agiioeticism is sustained. Before the ex—
pulsion a decision was made that an ag-
nostic who says there may be a God.
but does not know where he is. cannot b -
tirade a Mason. llarrisson. who is a
manufacturer of stained glass church
windows. threatens an act of tort. as his
business has suffered. In pursuance of
this subject the grand master says:
“Practical atheism should also be ex«
cluded in the persons of those who only
admit that there may be a God and may
bea future life where men will be re-
warded or punished for deeds done in

The next mysterious murder will
probably occur in New York State. if
the line of successive progression that
has prevailed in Connecticut be (‘ontilh
ued. First there was the Mary Stan-
nard case. next the Jennie t‘ramor. then
the Rose Ambler. and lately the well
mystery near Stamford, justifvng a
change rendering the familiar express-
ion to "“‘estward the wave of murder
hold itsway.“ A somewhat remarkable
fact in connection with this wave of
mysterious murder is that each deed
was perpetrated at intervals of distance
not widely different from each other.
and not very far out of a straight line
running east and west. With this
much ascertained it ought to be possi-
ble to predict the location of the next
murder of this class with as much of
certainty as has adhered to \Viggin‘s
weather prophecies. But we will leave

Caleb L. Ludirigton of Fair Haven
who is 70 years old and has been famil~
iar with oysters all his life expresses much
contempt. for Mr. Rowe‘s discovery of
new insect which will kill the oysters.
He says as reported in the Register. that
“the story about the brown, coral~like
insects. told by llilr. Rowe. is all non-
sense and that Henry 0. Rowe doesn‘t
know anything about oysters and the
troubles to which they are subject.” and
adds: "If Mr. Rowe will come to me I
will be happy to give him some informa-
tion. The excresence which he has dis-
covered on seed oysters a year old. is a
natural growth and is always an indi-
cation that the young oysters are heal-
thy and vigorous. The appearance of
these growths is not new in New Haven
waters. for it has often been the case
that the finest oysters taken from Mor-
ris's cove. fat and of excellent flavor.
had the same growth on their young
shells and oysternien are always glad to
see them. lle adds that the same thing
is liiiltt‘ctl in Delaware bay and that
plenty of well~informed oysternien can
be found to support his statements.
Uvsterriien here say that what Mr.
Rowe complains of is nothing ncw. but
has occurred on certain oyster grounds
from time iininernorial.’ The incrusta-
tiori is termed "sandc‘oral." and. it is
claimed docs very materially interfere
with the growth of the oyster. \\'liile

and keeps it poor.

his new style of history :iliirriiingly pop.

of the American dude of IN“; “The
pantaloons of a bean went up to his arm-
pits: to get into them was a morning‘s
work. arid.-wlicn in. to sit down wasirii-
possible. ”is but was too small to con-
tain Iirs liaridkr-rcliief and was not ex—
pected to stay on his head. His hair

toward his forehead. and looked. as at
satirist of that day trucly said. as if he
had been lightirigan old fashioned hurri-
cane backward. About his neck was a

l‘ointers for Advertisers.
Don‘t expect an advertisement to bear
fruit in one night.
The enterprising advertiser proves that
he understands how to buy. because in
advertising he knows how to sell.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget- tliat most. folks can-
not remember anything longer than
about seven days.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement it is a great point gained.
The fair sex doesn‘t. hold all the curiosity
in the world.
Trying to do business without advert is—
irig is like winking at a pretty girl
through a pair of green goggles. You
may know what you are doing. lint n0~
body else does. '
You can‘t eat enough in a week to
last you a year. and you can‘t advertise
on that plan either.
Enterprising traders are beginning to
learn the value of advertising the year
round. The persistency of those who are
not intimidated by the cry of dull times.
but keep their namesiever before the pub-
lic. will surelv place them on the right
side in the end.—[Poultryman.
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out a dam because the water
is low. Either plan ‘will prevent good
times from ever coming.

God won‘t keep a young lady pious
who has her waist encircled seven times
a week by the arms of a spider-legged
dude. _
Some of you little sinners are sitting
around here waiting for salvation to
strike you as it did St. Paul. Snow
bird waiting to be struck with a can-
non~ball. God adjusts His ammunition
to the size of the man He is after. Mus~
turd seed shot will do for you.
Sow billiards. reap fools. Sow cards.
reap gamblers. whiskey. reap
drunkards. Sow germans. reap spider~
legs.
The dude looksas if he was melted
and poured into his. pants.
There‘s many a fellow with a white-
wash brush trying to clean up a little
before he goes to God.
Many men think the people don’t know
that they are gamblers, but the do.
You wear fine clothes, and 00k like
a gentleman, and think people don’t
know what you are. But you don’t
find the town full of greenies, you; big
old fool you.
Some men arefesling all right. be-
cause all their boys are girls; but the
first thing that you know, the devil will
pack of! a drunken musin-law on you.

1“I|l|l‘ "hits to Housekeeper-s.
Never use water from a stone reservoir
for cooking purposes.
Never keep vinegar or yeast in stone
crocks or jugs: their acid attacks the glaz—
ing. which is said to he poisonous.
Glass for either is better.
Never use water which has stood in a
lead pipe over night. Not less than a
wooden biickctfnl should be allowed to
run before any is taken for use.
If lirooriis are dipped for it rriiliiite or
two in ii kettleof boiling suds. once a
week. they would last much longer. It
makes them tough but pliable. and a
carpet is not worn half so much by
sweeping \\ ith a broom cared for in this
manner.
