However the battle is ended, Though proudly the victor comes With fluttering flags and prancing mags. And echoing roll of drums. Still, truth proclaims this motto In letters of living lightâ€"- No question is ever settled Until it is settled right. Though the heel of the strong oppressor May grind the weak in the dust, And the voice of fame with one acclaim May call him great- and just, Let those who applaud take warning, And keep this motto in sightâ€" No question is ever settled Until it is settled right. Let those who have failed take courage, Though the enemy seem to have won; Though his ranks be strong, if he is in the wrong, The battle is not yet done ; For, sure as the morning follows The darkest hour of the night No question is- ever settled ' Until it is se'ttled right. Oh, man bowed down with leborl Oh, women young, yet oldl 0h, heart oppressed in the toiler’s breast, And crushed by the power of gold! Keep on with your weary battle Against triumphant might; No question is ever settled Until it is settled right. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The Passing of the Gods. (By Father Thomas McGi-ady.) In the days of ignorance and super- stition men adored the wonders of nat- nrc and the Works ol'their own creation. Every law was a mystery," and every calamity came from the potentates ,who ruled the world from the throne of the gods. Evcry' profession and vocation was protected and‘patronizcd by a tutel- ary divinity. There were gods of the mountains and the hills and the mead- ows and the groves. There were gods 0! murder and theft, of anger and en- mity, of lust and wine. of hatred and revenge. Man made his gods and then fell down before them in awe and sub jection. and offered them his obedience and sacrifice. But the days of paganism are not past. Man still makes his master and adores the Work of his creation. The laborer made the capitalist and falls on his knees in presence of this august divinity. The superstitious that cre- ated the pantheon of Greece and the triads of Egypt. have erected a throne for the gods of finance and commerce, and offer the sacrifice of labor and blood and life on the alter of capitalism. Mummon has dethroned Jupiter, and the cringing multitude fear the power of the financial niaumte as the ancients trembled when the pagan god drove his chariot across the stormy skies and pro- claimed his omnipotence in the voice of thunder and the flash of the angry clouds. . But Science is delivering men from industrial bondage as Christianity is t'lelivering man from religious bondage. Science has taught men to use the en- ergies of nature for their comfort and advancement; Physical. laws have been banished fromflthc throne of the gods and no longer exercise thepower of the despot 'over the timid,. [awning multi- tude, but are -subjected “to the human mind and discharge the functions of servants. Jove’s burnihg flame has been bran-1h! down i'r-im the chm ls anti the whirlwinds and sent as a lllcsStzutz‘l‘l‘ to carry the thoughts of men over oe-‘ans and continents. Knowledge has tuch the seeptre from the hands of Neptune, and men launch the ships on theheav- ing breast of the sea-god, smile at his frown and laugh at his rage. Science has, also, revealed to the laborer his power. It has revealed to the laborer the tact that he has been enslaved by the work of his own creation. it has taught the laborer that he hasmade the machine and created the capitalist, ' and in the knowledge of this revelation the toiler will claim the right to owu the machine and dethrone the capitalist. The productive forces of this age are the creations of social factors and do not belong to any individual. Society has created the civilization. that gl-vri- fies the dawn of the twentieth century. The triumphs of this age are the results of all the works and all the thoughts of the human race. The ideas and labors of every tribe and nation and tongue have been preserved and transmitted to posterity, and in the march of time each generation has inherited the knowledge of the past, augmented it with its own victories, and bequeathed it as a legacy to the future. Society has discovered all the continents and islands that have been touched by the foot of civilized man. Society has invaded new worlds and glorified them with the product of its thoughts and energies. It has cre- ated the cities and ' towns and villages 'and hamlets of populous countries. It has erected the art galleries and muse- ums and filled them with the'noblest productions of the brush and the chisel. It has built libraries and stocked their shelves with the thoughts of the poet and the crater and the scientist and the philosopher. It has created schools and colleges and universities. Society has furnished man with every facility of production that he enjoys, and has mult- iplied his resources and exnended his power over the laws of nature. There- fore society should use its resources. all the energies of its creation, all the rat.- ‘ tors that it has called into exiéteecs’ through the slowly revolving cycles, and ‘ the passage of the silent centuries, for the elevation of humanity, for the cre- .' ator should enjoy the works of his hands. ' The resources of Society rightly he- long to Society, instead of the individ-. us], and should be used by society for the advancement of every child of our race. Justice demands that Society ap- propriate what it has created; and in the triumph of knowledge and science which shall glorify the new century. the power of social factors shall be with‘ drawn from the hands of the. privileged classes, who have wielded it for person at luxury and ambition, and the enslave ment of the toilingâ€"smegma. and it shall be used for'the physical preservation and mental and moral ennoblem'ent of mankind. The templc‘tifpaganism fell. . withstthonward-Ein‘arch of Christianity. and theatemplc of Mammon will {all with the illumination of science. The, alter of capitalism. stained with the. blood of the'fiations, willfperish in ever-y, land, and the world will be blessed with the triumph of truth and love and jus- tice. The industrial magnates and fi'h ancial kings shall be relegated to the shadows of antiquity, and their dark deeds shall bellinked with the fables of' - heathen mytholOgy, and their histh shall perish with the flight of time. and their names shall be forgotten, and their memory shall he consigned to cverlust~ ing oblivion with the gods of Greece and Rome. to. Conditions in Russia. A St. Petersburg dispatch says of Russian conditions : " Regular auction sales of women and children are held there, the wives, the daughters and little ones of men who are too poor to buy food for them being knocked down to the highest bidder, in order that they may not perish A. Sound, wholesome young girl fetches $135; a healthy child sells for from $10 to $25. Speculators are said to he do- ing a thriving business by fattening their emaciated purchases and scling them again. Whole families are sub: sisting on a little meal mixed with the ground bark of trees, while roots nod herb-3 are boiled with the flesh of dis- eased animals to make soup." This is in Christian Russia. whme a crucifix is in every home. But do u't pity the poor Russians; they cannot vote. Pity your Own stupidity, for we can duplicate these things in almost any big city.â€"-American paper. L. r . Jr... d.» v'- . :- Mxlvx... x-:.:.. . ‘v'-‘"\.r\,‘v\"‘v ~‘_,v-.~r\-:‘ ‘-'
