Lamentations iii M, "Wherefore doth a living man complain'" - -i <\,i in the most rati- j A C^ieeiiUl luw,:ivj>...v.J ancholy book of the J3:ble ! Jeremiah v.-rose ! so many sad things that we have a~ ^s-jrd j named after him, and when anything issur- j charged with grief and complaint -we call it a i jeremiad. But in my test Jeremiah, as by 1 a sadden jolt, wakens up to a thankful spirit ' Our blessings are so much more numerous j than our deserts that he is surprised that j anybody should ever Had fault. Having life, ! and with it a thousand blessings, it ought to j hush into perpetual silence everything like criticism of the dealings of God. '-Wherefore doth a Jiving man complain'.'" While everything in our national finances is brightening, for the last few years the land has been set to the tune of "Naomi." There has been here and there a cheerful soloist, but the grand chorus has been one v " ArA, of lamentation accompauicu v.w prostrated commerce, silent manufactories, unemployed mechanism and all those disorders described by the two short words, "hard times." The fact'is that we have been paying for the bloody luxury of war more than 30 years ago. There were great national differences, and Y.*e had sot enough Christian character to settle them by arbitration and treaty, and so we went into battle, expending life and treasure and well nigh swamring the ca'ional Sninces. and north and south, east and west, have ever since been paying for those four years' icdr 'gence in barbarism. But the time has come when this depression ought to end?yea, when it will end if TtvWprr to do two cr three ?Wv yvv^v _c ? -things by way of financial medicament, for the people as well as congress must join in the work of recuperation. The 1>est political economists tells us that there is no 2001I reason for continued prostration. Plenty of money awaiting investment. The national health with never so strong an arm or so clear a brain. Yet we go on groaning, groaning, groaning, as though Gou had put this nation upon gruel and allowed us but one decent breaklast in six month?. The fact is th3 habit of complaining has become chronic in this country, and arte"- all tJaese years of whimper and wailing and objtirga-: tion we are under such a momentum o:' stiiv-: el that -we cannot stop. There are three prescriptions by which 1j believe that our individual and national f<-: nances may be cnreu of their present de- i pression. The first I- cheerful conversation and behavior. I ha% e noticed that the people who are most vociferous against the day in which we live are those who are in comfortable circumstances. 1 have made incutry of those persons who are violent in their jeremiads against these times and I have asked them. "Xow, after all, are you not making a living'.''" After some hesitation, and coughing and clearing their throat three or four times they say stammeringly, "Y- e-s.:' So that. -with a great multitude of people it is not a question of getting a livelihood, but they are dissatisfied because they cannot make as much money as they would like to make. They have only *2,000 in the bank, where they would like to have ?-1,000. They can clear in a year only $5,00), when they would like to clear $10,000, or things come out just even. Or in their trade they get SO a day when they wish they could make S4 or $-3. iiOh," says some one, "are you not aware of the fact that there is a great populafinn nf smnln'jmBTit snr? f^ere are hun. dreds of good families of litis country who are at their vrits' end, not knowing which Tray to turn?*' Yes, I know it better than any man in private life can know that sad fact, for it comes constantly to my eye and ear, but who is responsible for this state of things'.' Much of that responsibility I put upon men in comfortable circumstances who i>y an everlasting growling keep public confidence depressed and new enterprises from starting out and new houses from being built. You know very well that one despondent man j can talk 50 men into despondency, while j one cheeerful physician .can wake up into j exhilaration a whole asylum of hypochondri-1 ac3. It is no kindness to the poor or unem- j ployed for you to join in this deploration. If i you have not the ^it and common sense to I think of something cheerful to say, then j keep silent. There is no man -who can be j independent of depressed conversation, j The medical journals are ever illustrating it. j I was reading of five men -who resolved j that they -would make an experiment and ; see what they could do in the way of depressing a stout, healthy man, and they resolved to meet him at diifercnnt points in his journey, and as he stepped out from his house in the morning in robust health one of the five men met him and said: ' Why you looic very sick today. What is the matter'.'" He said: "I am in excellent] health. There is nothing matter," But, j passing down tne street, ne oegan w exawuiu his symptoms. and the second of the live men met Mm and said, "Why, how bad you i do look'" "Well," he replied, "I don't, feel j very well." After awhile the third man i met him, and the fourth man met him, and j the fifth man came up and said: "Why, you j look as if you had had the typhoid fever for; six weeks. What is the matter ^ith you'.'" j And the man against whom the stratagem j had been laid went home and died. And j :f TT-WU no-noi!!cl to!1-- prirtllT. I Ai. J Kf U ib UUCLU. TT UU ?? j hard times and bankruptcy and dreadful winters that are to come you break doirn his courage. A few autumns ago, as the winter was coming on, people said: "We shall have a terrible winter. The poor will be frozen out this winter.'' There was something in the large store of acorns thai the squirrels had gathered and something in the phases of the moon and something in other portents that maue you certain we were go- j ing to have a hard winter. Winter came. It j was the mildest one within my memory and within yours. All that winter long I do net think there was an icicle that hung through the day from the eaves of the house. So you prophesied falsely. " - ' -5 t : !. ! i>ast winter was coming :\su me pyopiu > "We shall have unparalleled suffering arrongj the poor. It will be a dreadfal: winter." Sure enough it was a j cold winter, but there were more large; hearted charities than ever before poured outj on the country; better provision made for the poor, so that there have been scores cf; winters when the poor had a harder time than they did last winter. Weather pro- j phets says we will have frosts this summer tehich -win tf?U rrif? nnrvp-in. Xc*T. let lao tell you. you have lied twice about the wea- j ther, and I believe ycu are lying this time. i Some people are so overborne with the dolcrousness of the times that they say we ' shall have communistic outrages in this country such as tliey had in France. I !>> not believe it. The parallel 'Iocs not run. They have no Sabbath, no Uible, no God in : France. We have all these defenses for our : American people, and public opinion is such that if the people in this country attempt a cuithrcat expedition they will land iu Sing Sing or from the gallows go up cn tight repe. j 1 do not believe the people of this country; Trill ever commit outrages and riot and mur-: der for the sake ot getting bread, but all this j lcgubrosity ct tone and face keeps people j down. Now I will make a contract, if the i people of the United States for one week : will talk cheerfully, I will open ail the manufactories: I will give employment to ail the unoccupied men anl women; i will make a lively market for your real estate ihat is eating you up with taxes: I w'.'.l stop the long i processions on the way to the poor-house and j the penitentiary, and i will spread a plenti- ] ful table from >l:dne to California nni from i Oregon to ifandy Hock, and the v, :.o!e land j shall carol and thunder with national juriiee ] But says some one. will u\ke thai con-; wft ?n't -whov nation.

".NO, S:Uu HU, "i v>;iai iu j i go down, under ths wave with everythbr. i i wan! lo consecrate my property and a.i <.j J Co-." And sj ho was bapiized.

Ilere a loss and there a loss and everything was bothering, perplexing and annoying h:m. lie sat down one day and said: -God must have a controversy with ac about something. I believe I haven't j given enough to the cause of Christ." And j there and then he took out his checkbook j and wrote a large chcek for a missionary society. He told me, "That was the turning point in my business, liver since then i have been prosperous. From that very day, aye. from that very hour, I saw the change." And. sure enough, he went cn, and he gathered a fortune. I The only safe investment that a man can . make in this world is in th;: cause of Christ, j If a man g:vo from a superabundance, God ; may or he may not- respond with a blessing, i j but if a m^n give until he fee Is it, it" a 22:1s i give until i: fetches the blood, if a mar. giv^- j ! until Lis selfishness c.inges and twists and j 5 cowers under it, he will get not cn'y spirit- j i uai prof.:, but !.e will get p.iid back in haru cash or in convertible securities. V,*e often see men who are tight fisted who seem to get along with their investments very profitably notwithstanding all their parsimony. But wait. Suddenly in that man's history everything goes wrong. His health fails or his j reason is dethroned, or a domestic curse j smites aim. or a midnight shadow of some ! kind dr">ps upon his soul and upon his busi- j neis. V.'hut is the matter? God is punishing him for his small heartedness. lie tried i in che.it God. and God worsted him. So j ib.it one of the recipcs for the cure of indii vidual and national llaaaces is more generosity. Where you bestowed $1 on the cause of Christ give God loves to be trusted, and he is very apt tc trust back again. He says: "That man knows how to handle money. He shall have more money to handle*" And vcry soon the property that was on the market for a great while gets a purchaser, and the bond thu was not worth more than O'J cents on a dollar goes to par. and the opening of a new street doubles the value of his house, or in any way of a million Gcd e VI 1.; * JLllUI. j Once the man llnus out tb.it secret and ho | goes on to fortune. There are men whom I have known who for ten years have been: trying to pay God $1,000. 'i'bey have never j been able to get it paid, for just as they j were taking out from one fold of their pock- j eihcok a bill, mysteriously somehow in some i ether fold o: their pocketbook there came a i ] larger bill. You tell me that Christian gen- j i ercsity pays in the world to come. I tell j \ you it pays now, pays in hard cash, pays in j i government securities. You do not believe i ' ''' * u 1 " - r/Ml V-! 11 7 ! J.W. -TiU? Lili-l C 15 J VIA vuvu. - J knew you did not believe it. The whole world and Christendom is to be reconstructed on this subject, and as you are a part ofChristendom, let. the work begin in your; own sou:. "But,'* says some one. ' ! don't j believe that theory, because I have been ] generous and I have been losing money for j ten years.'' Then God prepaid you, that is j all. What became ox" the money that you j made in other days'.' You say to jour son, "Now I will give you i $ 390 every year as long as you live." After j awhile you say, "Weil, my son. you prove i yourself worthy of my confidence 1 will; ust i give you 0,000 in a single lump." Aud j you give it to him, and he starts oil'. In two j or three years he" does not complain against you: "Father is not takicg care of me. I ! on "hi to have 8-300 a ve:-tr.!' You prepaid your son, and he Joes not complain. Ihere j are thousands of U3 nor/ -who can this year | get just enough to supply ourvrants, but did I not Goi provide for us in the past, and has \ he not again and again paid us in advance? j in ether words, trusted you all along, trust-1 ed you more than you had a right to ask? Strike, then, a lalaacc tor God. ?conomize in anything rather than in your Christian i charities.

Yes, you ha-.*e been bled, and you r.re spirit- j ualiy emaciated, when if you had been cour-j ageous enough to go through your property j and say, '-Thai belongs io (joti, and this bo longs to God. and the ether thing beioags to God, and no more uareu to appropriate it to i your o~n use than something that belonged ; to your neighbor, instead e;' being hied to ! death by charities yoa would have been reia- i | vigorated r.nd recuperated and built up for j ; time and 1'cr eternity. God Trill ke'ep many j of ycu cramped ia money natters until the ! day cfyour death unless ycu swing o;:t in'o j larger generosities. | People quote as a joke what is a 'iivir.c ] i promise. "Castthy bread upon the waters i and ic will return to thee after many uays.'' j V.'hat did Jed mean by that? Tbere is an j allusion there. la Egypt when they sow i corn i: is at ,-i .?.e when the Nile is over- j flowing its banks, and they sow the seed i | corn on the waters, and as the Nile begins j to recede this seed corn strikes iu the earth j i and comes up a harvest, and that is the allu- i [sion.

'-(Sazt thy bread upon tae j j vraters ar.d 't sliaii comc back to thee after j | rr.r.Ly Jays."

You remember, I suppose, some years ago, the shipwreck of the Central America'* A storm came on that vessel.

The intention was to see as many of j DeArmitt's men befcra they sot into 1 the pits as possible. About 4 o'clock, 1 500 strikers as-} sembled at Turtle Creek and headed j by three brass bands and with banners ; liyif.s-. marched pist the houses cc- I cucied by DaAruaitt's miners. The > miners hcottd and yelied and then j marched to the mines where they pla a ted themselves before the pits, { thus compelling DeArmitt's men to i run tbe gauntlet to get to work. A j sboxt time later, Sheriff Lowrey, who j naci D^en wirea to lor assistance, ar- j ri^ed from Pittsburg vsith. 50 deputies, j armed with Winchesters. The strik- j ers quietly withdrew acd the ne?7} deputies were placed on guard. When the ~eeting was called to; order at 10 o'clock this morning there i were 3,000 striking miners in attend-! asce, and before it was well under way j there w^re 5,000 people in the vicinity j of the school house. About 9.30 o'clock j 250 miners from the Sandy Creek j mines marched to the metting and j quite a large number came from Turtle Creek. The demonstration had | no eS'ect upon the men at Plum Creek, ! and all went to work. The strikers used all the powers c.f j persuasion upon me diggers, out none were molested and 20 threads were i made. Previous to the meeting En- S gene V. Debs. District President DoJan, Secre-ary Warner and M. P. Gar- j rick vrest among the strikers and j counselled them to keep within the 1 bcuads of the la?7 and pr, serve good nriipr ihrmiphr n!: thft dav. Their 2d vice was received with good grace by j the men who cheered tae officials en- j thusiastically. President Dcl&n was made chair .nan of the meeting andia a short speech he accused Mr. DeArmilt of incincerity. He said that if De!rmitt's men did net come out there would_ be a sympathy strike all over the United S~ta*es. M. P. G-arrick was nest introduced and ne said that wormngfiaGn all over toe United Scales were interested in this strike because it wiil have a tendency to raise wa^es er<ry where. "If you men of the DeArmiU mines will not come out now we will march 60,000 men here ana cumpel jou to come out, net by forcp but by shame " When Eugene V.

In order to vrin you must re- i main absoiuiely sober until this contest is over. Whiskey clouds the brain, rcbs you of your money and makes ycu brutal, and also mskes you do just what your enemies want you to do." After the meeting the Sindy Creek miners returned to work and ihe strikers went into camp and hsd lunsb. Mr D.-?Armitt made the fol Joking statement: "A lew o: cur men from the Turtle ( Creik and Plum Creek mices attended the meeting. About 40 of the younger men in the Sandy Creek S' mines were present. As far as the ef j feet of the meeting on cur men is ccn- J cernea.it was a flit failure. Ail of cur mines were in operation and will be tomorrow."

Late at sight William Warner, sec- j relary cf the miners' union, telephon- i ed that a break in Di&rmitt's men has 1 taken place. He says that after the j day meeting another meeting was ar- j ranged for Thursday night and was at-1 lenJed by many oi the men who have | seen at work.

The entire colored populace is very much wrought up. Wednesday afternoon a nosse. comoossd of negroes, captured George Pritchett, who had gone into the woods.
