.. Labor Day vs. Peoples’ Day.

That labor, in one form or another,
is the general lot of all mankind, has
doubtless been recognizéd' from the
time that man first began to till the
ground and tend the flocks, but it is
only as civilimtion has advanced that
he has learned to regard this lot as one
to be embraced with cheerfulness, and
not as a burden' to be avoided-or to

be transferred by force to others. The

association of labor with, servility, has
r radually disappeared before the higher
Christian conception of the dignity of
manhood and can hardly be said any
longer to exist except in heathen lands
and among barbarous tribes.

In America therecertainly is no need
in the' timeout age to insis‘; upon the
dignity of labor, for there is no one to
deny it and any attempt to separate
those who labor from those who'do not,
as though there were separate and an-
tagonistic class .-.s of this kind among us,
as there were under the» ancient civili-
zations, must be futile. For this
reason the institution of a particular
holiday in honor of labor has always
seemed of questionable utility, while
the tendency to make it a class holiday.
isaltogether opposed in spirit to that
veryaprogress we have noted as most
characteristic of modern institutions.

That such a backward movement has
been attempted and so largely directed
and ccntrollel by designing dema-
g‘ogues who have assured imaginary d s
tinczions and undertaken to divxde our
peopleinto classes, only makes more
imperative. the duty of ‘all good men to
reoudiate such tin-American ideas.
Whatever-may still be the case in the
Old World, we Lave no privileged classes
here.
doubt, and men who live upon the labor
of others, but these are to be found in
all ranks; Equally in all ranks the
true American citiz an is a worker, seek-
ing his own prosperity only in the pres
perity of all, and honoring labor most
by his diligence in his own calling.

What harm the mere agitator may do
to labor we have painful evidence in
idle factories and paralysis of industry
and trade, that have been brought
about by distrust and fear and the ef-
fort to array class against class or sec-
tion against section. IfLabor Day is
to bring any goodto those who labor,
otherw’sa than with their tongues,
those who assume especially to rep:e-'
sent their interests have much need for
sobriety of thought and utterance, lest
they further le'Il‘e the cause they
would serve, since the prosperity of la-
bor is in no way separate or to be sep-
arated from the prosperity of the whole
community of free and industrious
people. ' As yesterday was so universal-
15' observed and enjoyed, by all class s
of our people, would not a rechristen-
ing of" the welcome holiday, from f‘La-

bor Day,f’ to “The Peoples’ Day,” is
more appropriate and significant.

O

For Congress.

 

 

The well informed New Haven cor-
reapondent of the New York Herald,
puts out the following congressional
observationsz— -

"I‘he suggestion that Charles S. Can-
field, of Bridgeport, be nominated for
democratic Representative in Congress
from the Fourth district has been
' If‘his nomination
ccu'd be secured, which I have every
reason to doubt, because of. his pro-
nounced gold views, a splendid political
gain would be achieved. He is a young
than of brains and marked popularity.
In the Second district the two names

' mentioned to oppose Representative

Sperry are those of Alexander Troup,
the leader of the silver forces at New
Haven, and Greene' Kendrick, of Wa-
terbury, a recent convert to the white
metal.”

 

Wise anzl Patriotic Advice.

The staunch democratic Sun, which
loves the country above its party. gives
this wise and patrioticladvice:—

“‘Our advice to Democrats is to keep
the main chance. steadily in .mind. A
vote for McKinley is worth two votes
for Palmer as an instrument to: the de-
test of Bryan. ,First let us save the

THE sronv’oricmosastta.

.—.—————.

It is an Ancient Sun Myth of the Hindus,

and 3 Pretty One Also.

The story of Cinderella is substantial-
ly the same as that told of Rhodopis
and Psammitichus by Elian, who lived
in Rome in"the third century of the
Christian era. The story, as told :by
Elian, is that while Rhodopis was bath-
ing an eagle carried away one of her
sandals, and dropped it near the feet of

Psammitichus, , King of' Egypt, who, ‘

like Cinderella’s prince, was struck by
”its diminutive size, caused. the maiden
to be sought for, and married her when
‘fonnd. ‘

Make the sandal a glass slipper, and
add the ugly sisters for the Sake, of
contrast, and the stories are much the
same. The glass slipper, by the way,
is an acknowledged fiction. being in

reality a mistranslation of “pantoufle”

"en vair” (a. fur slipper), and not “en
verre.” This,'at all events, is what is
claimed by Perault in his “Contes de
Fees.’{ p

Both these stories have doubtless a
common origin, but it is necessary to
go further back in the history of the
literatun to find it—to a people who
live in' a period compared with which
that of even Elian is quite modern.
It is in the Vedas, the four sacred books
of the Hindus, that the’origin is to be
found.” - ' ‘ - ‘

After whathas already ‘been said, it
will not be“ surprising to learn that
Cinderella is a dawn maiden, her sisters
being the powers of darkness, who com-
pel her to wait upon them, keeping her
hidden from sight. The dawn maiden
breaks from her bonds, and captivates
the sun, remaining With him for a time.
But she cannot linger with him in the
heavens; she can remain only until a
certain hour. Once she lingers too
long, and, hurrying back, leaves on-the
path she has taken a token of her visit,
in the form of a fleeoy cloud, which has
borne her aloft when she left the
regions of darkness. The sun, de-
termined to find ’her, sends out ,his
emissaries (the rays of light). but does
not find her until she appears before
him as the eveningr‘twilight. - Iii the
Vedas the prince is called Mitre, which
is one of the names given to the sun.—

MIGHTY COLD WEATHER.

 

of a Western Winter that
Broke All Records.

“Mr. President and gentlemen,” be-
gan Mr. Calkins, “I am not an old man,
and therefore the winter I speak of is
familiar to all of you—that of 1873.
Five of us, with our wives, had gone
to Dakota in order to obtain home-
steeds, .and settled twenty-five miles
from the then small village of Fargo.
near where the city of Castletou is now
situated, but then a. wild, desolate
prairie, with no neighbor nearer than
Fargo, and bands of Indians or droves

Memories

of wolves placing us in constant peril.‘

"The five families, although having
sod houses of their own, all lived in one
house for companionship and protec-
tion. Well, at half-past ten o‘clock
Wednesday night, October 2, it turned
so cold that we could see the walls mov-
ing in and the house grow smaller from
the natural contraction caused by the
atmosphere. It grew colder constantly
until morning. and then remained as it
was.”

"What was the degree?" some one
asked. .

"To tell the truth, gentlemen, I do
not know," was the reply. “We had
half a dozen thermometers, but they
were the mercury kind, and the. mer-
cury froze so solid within an hour that
the children used the bulbs to play
marbles with all that winter and until
they thawed out the following Fourth
of July. '

"We had plenty of fuel and were
heavy winter wraps in the house—in
this way keeping from freezing. After
a few weeks we became used to it. One
of the ladies discovered how beautiful
the icicles were that grew upon the
windows. They then wore them as
jewels, and diamonds never looked
prettier. There was no danger of their
melting in the house, and it was ac-
tually a source of sorrow to the ladies
when the weather grew warm enough
for us to go outdoors and to melt the
diamonds with which they had deco-
rated themselves. That was the cold-
est winter I ever experienced, but I can
not tell just how cold it was, owing to.
having no spirit thermometer.”—Wash-
ington Star. \

As ordered.

“That last load of coal you sent,?’ said
Mrs. Slopay, with a most impressive
manner, “was more than half slate.”

“Perhaps you. may remember,” re-
torted the coal man with much spirit,
"that you said after youhad ordered it,
‘just slate this, will you?’ ”—In'dianapo-
list-79.11.23.1- '

A few years ago nearly .311 newspapers
published, at this season, recrpes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met,with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chamber-

for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. N 0 one havin a bottle of the
