FC VOL. X. LABOR'S L0.NG WAS.' Arp Wants to Know When the Conflict Will End. HIS SYMPATHY FOR THE TOILERS. It is Sad to Sec the Children in the lactories Wearing 'I heir Lives Away and Longing for RrsL ??? Labor and Capital. When will tbe lung protracted struggle ceas.\ Away bark in history there was a war that lasted thirty years, but this war hai lasted longer than that and s?cms to grow more bitter as the years roll on. In tlio good old times it did not atfeet tiie south but like a pestilence it spread and there seems to be n > remedy. All of tiie women?most all the men. outside of the capitalists?hav heretofore sympathized with the to 1ers iu their demands for less work an i better pay. They have bitterly denounced tbe heartless managers who would wear out the life of a child before it gets grown?who would keep them caged in factories from ia ly morn till lamplight, with n >t an honi for recreation. No May day, no \ lay day, no ball game, nor marbles, n r fishing, nor frolic of any kind for t .o boys; no hunting wild flowers or hi.o Itberries for the girls, no youthiul pleasures. no recess, no Saturday; but from year to year it's "Work?work?work, in the dull December light. And work?work?work, when the weather is warm and bright." How sad it is to see them toi! a3 if in a treadmill, and to hear them sigh as they glance from the windows o their daily prison, and with longing eyes, whisper "Oh! but to breathe the l reatli o[ til woods and 11 ?w?:rs sweet. With the .sky above lr.y head and the grass beneath my feet." And Oils is sad. pathetic, and but for hearties legislation and 1 gislatois, would have long since been rente die ! It is the good side of human nature that arouses sympathy for the poor, and Yeigh Hunt never wrote a sweeter line, than that of Abau Hen Adhctn's plea for entrance into Paradise: "Write me as one who loves his fellow man." In ruminating about the wants o* the poor 1 have often thought that the greatest want and the I. st 1 ion to a : toiler was a home. Home?on - of the j sweetest words in any language. Its best definition is in the heart, for lan- | guage fails to express it. Indeed there are some languages that hav no word for it -no synonym. The French has none and suiistilues only an aim io or dwelling place. The best definition found in the old SanrUirt. the sa-rei dialect of tli' Hindoos and Persian;;. The word is Kshema and means a permanent place of rest and s "curity. j Would that all the poor, all the toilers, j all the women and children in the land j had that?a permanent abode?a place j of rest and security. No landlord to call for rents- no expiring lease, no uncertain title; but a home where the good wife can plant her own vines and adorn her own yard with (lowers an l feel that they are hers and her children's. Why didn't Mr. Carnegie thinlc of this and give homes to the poor, instead of boobs. Fifty millions of dollars would have given c unfcrtable homes to one hundred thousand poor families?and given a permanent place of nxst and security to at least half a million of the toilers. The time was win 11 a Methodist preacher was not entitled to a home no more than a Roman Cathoiic priest was to a wife. He must abide for a year in any hour.' that was cheap and vacant. He must, b > the exemplar of humanity and nn-< 1flshness. for they said that the Sav or wos horn in a manger and ni:; soft' si bed was hay. Hut there is some lucre scripture that demands the 1> st of everything for the priesthood, and that says; "Touch not My anointed, and d 1 My prophets no harm. A hotter c.vtllzntion now provides a good comfortable parsonage in almost every town and village and I am -i t i of it. n U so much for sympathy f.u* th > pr -eher, but for his goo I. Ion r-mY ring an t patient wife and h> growing chiHiu 11. Woman loves her hone and lov ; to adorn it with fruits and f wers. When the Mothndis-f g^t p; ,ng enough to build a parsonage they hoitld n it s. p at the finishing of the h n:.;e, hut have a permanent committe > of lide. to plant vines and roses an 1 mak gravel walks, and establish a garden w.tii such tiiltigs that do not pass away and perish with the year. Plant fruit t: ces, make an asparagus bed and don't f >rgot the strawberries and raspb rries, and here and there plant som * of the old time garden herbs, su-h as sage .vnd balm and parsley and e.damns for a sweet breath and mint for the children's colic. Fix the place up for a home and when the go d wife leaves it, of course, she will have it clean and leave it with regret, and her successor will be happy and talk about h r successor will be happy and talk about her to the neighbors. If I was a bishop I would allude to this at the general conference. and lay much stress t.n what John Wesley said, that "Clenalinoas was next to Goldiness." This is not In the Bible, but might * T jgrl ^ / ; s;. ** F have been and dan? no harm. Yes, the kindheartcd p op'.o havs generally been sympathizing with the strikers, but the ease at Dayt >n, ().. his discouraged them. We see that Mr. Patterson died suddenly this week.

He hollove-d lie had :; >lv? <1 the problem of capital and lab ir. But ahout three years ago a lab ir uniu i was formed and its commit began to hunt up devilment. N t. long ag> they discovered that tlio 2d Ik) to" ..s that v.-i . < furnished tlie bathroom fie<? were was'.: d every w< \ l.y s to ? poor woman who dill no h:?bm : i > i m v.nion, nnd thoy demanded of Mr. i'at terson that lie have his \va !i lit; don?" by union folks.

Next th y ordered the discharge of his sup Tin; ndent because he was not a union man. Tills was refurrd and they > ?rurh. attain. They also ordered that two union 111 n who had be.mi discharged had work should be restored, lie restored theni and paid thoni regularly S>t 1a week for each. but gave them no work, saying that they wore not competent, but lie would pay them. And so they liuutc I around for other tilings and dually ordered a bis strik . and it has been on for weeks and no .-ettltment. 1'p to date the lo-s t > workmen in wages amounts to $120.u>ki and all these poor families are ii dlstres and would so ba. ;t if the union corn m litre would let them. It was at Pay ton where a few months ago the union crowd pursued some non-union men and knocked them down and hammered their finders to a jelly with .-.tones, so that they could not work any more Mr.Patterson's works have b?en visite 1 by progressive men from all countries, who wanted to ;ee how li managed that great business without any clash between his capital and liieir la1)or, and now they say. "I told you so. 1 knew it would not last!" I; made mo right t-iek t ? read about it. for it is much worse than I have told it. Is our sympathy for the pomail wasted. No?no!
