A railway employes pension bill Is to
bo introduced In tho New York stato
legislature. It will provide that when
ever an employe of a steam railway
company shall become wholly of partly
disabled while In tho discharge- of his
duty, tho company shall provide for his
support by assessing Its dividends not
exeeedingone percent, per year. While
an employe Is disabled he is to get half
pay as long as incapable. If adisability
is only partial and the road offers a man
other employment, he must accept.
Tho act is not to bu effoctlvo against
any corporation until tho majority of
employes of tho company certify that
they desire it.
The sage of tho Punxsutawney Spirit
says: "In our little exporince in life,
extending over a period of thirty-seven
brief summers and a like number of hard
winters, wo have observed this that
most men are too much inclined to bo
stuck on themselves. In other words
they do not have sufficient respect for
the opinions and judgments of others,
They do not make sufficient use of tho
understanding and information of others,
There is hardly a man living who can
not jjet valuable Information from othor
men, no matter what their station or
calling may be. But, as a rule, because
a man knows more In the aggregate or
thinks he does than some othor men
he scorns to consult them about matters
concerning which they know a great
deal more than he does. When these
symptoms are strongly marked In a man
the malady muy be safely diagnosed as
"big head."
As we all hope for mercy at the hands
of God, so should we grant mercy to
our follows, and yet- there are many
poople who make a religious profession
who do not grunt mercy to their fellow
men. He who, through spite or envy,
calls up to tho reformed man his for
mer evil doings, or attomps to use them
against him, is himself guilty of a great
wrong. Especially If error hus boon
committed in the inexperience of youth,
it Is unjust to recall '.t. It should be
allowed to sleep in forgetful ness. The
rule of juBtleo and charity requires that
when a man has confessed a wrong, re
pented of it, and made all tho restitu
tion in his power, he shull be forgiven
Of oourse, this does not Interrupt tho
course of the law, whore the wrong is a
crime under its provisions, but it should
control human actions. There Is for-
giveues with God, with man and
with society, and it should never
be withheld when the conditions of
forgiveness have boon complied
with. The man or woman who do-
lights in recalling the sins of others,
when they are trying to live down
the mistakos of other days, had butter
examine their "titles to mansions
in the skies," for they certainly canaot
tie 'clear" titles.

KniToii Star: I seo by a commu
nication from Doemer's Cross Heads
Council, No. (104, Jr. O. U. A. M., that
thorn are some statements mado con
cerning a deceased member, Goorgo M.
Keed, that are calculated todecelvo tho
public. They stato that Mr. Keed was
re-lnstuted on tho llth of May, IWHl, by
a dispensation, at a fee of one dollar
and ,'IS weeks dues, at 10 cents per week,
making M.fMI. Now M.H0 and 1.00
make $1.80. That part would bo correct
as far as It goes. Then they say ho
paid Into Council, after taking sick,
$.'1.00, leaving a balaneo of $2 70, which
would bo $..70, and at death ho was
$l.H0 In arrears. They say ho took slek
sometime in December. That is
correct, but they don't seem to know
when. If they had been In Council, or
attended strictly to business, they would
have known just when ho took sick, as
he was reported tho same night, which
was december UHh.
Tho facts In tho aro theso: On tho
17th of December ho paid Into Council
$l.fi0, or to ono of Its members, and not
$:i.on, as stated In their report, which
would leave him $1.10 In arrears, as
shown by statement sent out by tho
secretary. They try to leave the
Impression thnt they hired a nurse for
him through his sickness. Ho was re
ported to Camp on the Kith of December
but not a member put in an appearance
until ono week later. Then they hired
a nurso for ono week and discharged
him, and two of their members took
night about for ono week. Council paid
theso men $1.00 per night, which would
make $14.00. Mr. Heed lay slek
seven weeks, the lodge taking euro of
him just two weeks. They sny that
tho public has heard ono sido and jump
ed to conclusions and censure tho lodge.
Tho censure was not for falling to pay
liencfits, but for neglect of duty In not
caring for and watching over a sick
brother. To justify their actions and
try to deceive tho public, thoy hid
behind tho two sections of their by-laws.
There Is not a man In this section but
what condemned tho actions of the
lodge in this cose. I could refer to
sections in their by-luws whore it states
that any brother refusing to watch over
a brother shall pay a finoof $1.00. They
try to dodge thut by saying that only
means a beneficial brother. If that is
the case and a man would get sick and
his wife have to care for hi in without
any help from the lodgo would it not bo
Ix'ttcr for him not to belong to such an
order. As to tho principles of thoJr
O. U. A. M. I huvo nothing to say. I
think the principles ure all right when
carried out. Hut in this case thoy were
not curried out. William Moohe.
