The last rays of the setting sun throw a pitying halo about the shivering forms of the bereft and helpless watchers. When darkness falls over the landscape, they are taken army to their cheerless homes. Sync ., have to be carried ed by force, for they would throw themselves down upm the i - cold ground and perish in the despair of that hour. What will become of them ? Will the christian men to whom God in his infinite wisdom has given control of the property interests of this country, care for them ? Yes, the rights and the interests of the miners, and of their families, will be cared for. The christian men-will permit the widows to remain in the tumble-downshacks, pro- vided they clean the offices and help at odd jobs. And the children who are big; enough to walk from the shack to the mine can break coal. They will have the privilege of working for the christian men. and paying the rent of the shack from their wages of three dol- lars a week. And how will they be able to live? Oh. the women can take in washing in their spare time, and do some gardening, or take some other home occupation, which numerous great city houses are generously providing for those who are poor and needy. Ah! yes, the miners’ families will be provid- ed for. And so will the christian men, some day. Let them imagine that the work- ing class was created by their God to' serve them eternally. So much heavier will the coming Wrath fall upon them. â€"Appcal to Reason. The Bank of hhilifih rears hiiihhitih. capital £1,000,030. Reserve £390,090. ARE.

A sudden crash, a dull roar, a crash- ing and falling of timber, and darkness envelopes the bruised and maimed forms of a dozen ill-fated miners. Some ol them are dead, some are only uncon- scious, and a few of them are alive, but unable to move. The awful stillness is only broken by a few occasional groans. and the cracking of a piece of timber under the heavy pressure of the earth. The sickening.r smell of the extinguished lamps, mixed with the penetrant odor of powder and fresh soil, adds to the desolate and hopeless solitude of the buried men; buried alive, with sure death creepin'z upon them. “ Jack,” calls a hoarse voice; and a- gain, after some deep heavy breathing. “Jack. oh Jack.” OFFICE noses : a m. to 3 p. m.

The Madison, (Maine), Bulletin, is deeply puzzled to explain how it is that. workingr men combine in unions and ask for more wages. Incidentally, the editor claims that people are getting better wages now than they ever get before; and that every man, woman and child who is able and wants work, can get it at good wages. The editor has not yet grasped the Fact that a five per LEG 21L. . -____..____.___._..‘ ___.____. F. A. MCDIAl‘U-llD. ARRISTER, SOLICITOR,Etc., FENE- lon Falls.

A. ration of the condition of the laborer, And I wish I could sentence that editor to answur the letter of every man, we- man and child who is out of work, in spite of their ability and good will, at the present moment. “ The laborer has a right.” says the editor of the Bul- letin, “ to ask for an increase of wages which his employer can meet; but when the limit is reached and the laborer still asks. or in a body demands, more than the conditions of his employment will justify. it then becomes a serious ques- tion for both himself and his employer, who must then run _ his business at a loss or shut down.” Well, how much more would the laborer get, it he asked lor an increase individually ? He would get the suck. that 's all. ' And for how much should he ask collectively through his union ? He has a right to ask for all he produces; no more and no “Jack, for God's sake, where are you ? ” , A light is struck by some one. The whole horror of the scene is exposed in the dim gloom. Where is Jack ? Ah. there he is, with his head crushed un- der a pile of timber, dead. And how many are alive? Two, three. A few others are feebly stirrine. Is there any possibility of escape? They crawl to- ward the side which is nearest to the shaft, and tap the walls with a pick The heavy and solid sound tells their trainrd ears that the whole length of the gallery is filled up.

With their families un- capitalists and the laborers are diamet- rically opposed. and that. either the one or the other must suffer an injustice.

But 1 have no doubt that the capitalist editor will consider this ex- tremely impracticable, for, under Social- is n. the capitalists would not be able to appropriate the products of the labor of others. However, I don’t care what the capitalists or their editors think a. bout Socialism.
