FREELAND, FEBRUARY lb. 18ini
Army of tlie Unemployed.
Among those of our readers who are
disposed to "seek tho truth" there may
perhaps be some who will volunteer an
answer to the live question so squarely
put by Mr. Miller, "What shall be done
with the unemployed?"
We should be glad indeed to publish a
complete and satisfactory answer to that
most perplexing of questions, but un
fortunately it is much easier asked than
answered. There is altogether too
much truth in tho statement made by
Mr. Miller to be at all pleasant to the
reader.
It is a lamentable fact that in every
section of our country the army of the
unemployed is steadily increasing in
numbers and in the intensity of its de
mands. We do not undertake to furnish
an answer to his question, nor do we
reproduce the answer which he himself
gives, preferring to lay his query before
our readers and await their reply.
It. however, is entirely safe to predict
that if a satisfactory solution is not soon
readied the question will be not, "What
shall society do with the unemployed?"
but rather, "What will the unemployed
do with our modern society?"
2T Extinction of Game Animals.
Another notable game animal of the
northwest is said to be fast traveling
the road to extinction that the buifalo
went. The bighorn, one of the great
est attractions to sportsmen hunting
in the Canadian northwest, Is being in
discriminately slaughtered by the In
dians, because of the high prices now
paid for heads and sets of horns. The
matter was brought to the attention
of tlie JsuturaJ History society of Brit
ish Columbia recently, and the so
ciety lias appointed a committee to se
cure proper protection for the animals.
It is said that very few rams have been
seen this year. The Indians have lieen
slaughtering the animals in bands, re
moving the hides and horns and leav
ing the carcasses. Two or three years
of such slaughter as is now going on
will, it is said, cause tlie extinction of
tlie bighorn.
JACK BABBITS have become so numer
ous and troublesome this fall in Cassia
couuty, Idaho, that the farmers are or
ganizing round-up hunts to lessen the
numbers of the pests. At a hunt of this
kind held recently by farmers living
near Oakley 5,120 rabbits were rounded
up and killed, and two coyotes and a
lynx were also caught in the ring. The
method followed in these hunts is for
the farmers and their help to spread
over a large section of country, form
a ring, and then all work toward tho
center, beating the intermediate terri
tory thoroughly and driving the rab
bits into the center, where they are
killed with clubs.
THAT tubercolosis is increased by
living in thickly-settled communities is
shown bj' statistics collected by Dr.
Petit for GG2 French towns. In Paris
the proportion of deaths from tuber
culosis diseases in 100,000 inhabitants
is 400; in 11 towns from 100,000 to 430,-
000 inhabitants it is 363; in 4G towns
with a population between 30,000 and
100,000 it is 305; in 50 towns from 20*,-
000 to 30,000 inhabitants, it is 289; in
127 towns between 10,000 and {20,000 it
is 271; in 332 towns between 5,000 and
10,000 it is 21G, and in 95 towns, with a
population below 5,000, it is 181.
ELECTRICITY muy soon tackle thistle
and jimpson weed. Prof. Woodworth,
of the Michigan agricultural college,
announces that electricity is quite as
cheap as salt for killing off weeds, in
the long run, ns it is much more effect
ive, destroying the plant to the root,
lie proposes to experiment on the most
noxious weeds by taking a wheelbar
row or wagon supplied with a storage
battery to tho land to be cleared, and
let the hanging wires drag along the
ground. He insists on the practica
bility of removing Canadian and Rus
sian thistles from farms in this way.
INDUSTRIOUS old ladies are so numer
ous in Maine that no longer is there
any special glory for any one of them
who claims a record with a patchwork
quilt containing several thousand
pieces. The country is covered with
phenomenal quilts. But a new stand
ard of supremacy has been set by an
inmate of the Old Ladies' home at
Bath, who has just finished a quilt con
taining 14,911,4G2 stitches. She saj's
she has kept tally of every stitch. If
anyone doubts her figures the quilt
is on exhibition and the stitches may
he counted by the doubter*
LIVE QUESTIONS.
A Berfett of Articles Contributed to These
Columns by Advanced Thinkers.
NUMBER I.— SEEK THE TRUTH.
"New occasions teach now duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth."
All history tcaajies that the doctrine.
"Whatever is, is right," is so far front
being true that in methods and opinions
tho direct contrary may be said to be
much nearer the truth. Washington's
lifo was shortened by faith in bleeding
as a panacea. The gouorally aceopted
prejudice that denied water to the
parched lips of a flaver patient—what- un
told suffering it brought upon our fore
fathers I All races in certain stages of
their progress have peopled tho invisi
ble world with gods who were the
magnified images of themselves, with
all the vices and passions of primitive
man intensified. Any one who question
ed tho exact truth of this mass of imag
ination and tradition was banished or
put to death. It was a very mild con
travention of the accepted religious be
liefs of his time that brought the cup of
hemlocks to the lips of tho wisest and
best of the heathen philosophers. The
Christian martyrs were succeeded by
martyrs to Christianity. St. Stephen
and John Huss were aliko victims to
opinions that nobody uow holds. So
wore Joan of Arc and the Salem witches.
Prior to the time of Copernicus it was
tho general belief that tho earth was
flat and immovable, and numerous wore
tho theories advanced by learned men
to account for phenomena that every
child now understands. Tho true expla
nation announced by Copernicus and
Galileo was condemned by tho holy
office as "absurd in philosophy and
formally heretical because directly con
trary to the Holy Scriptures." Galileo
was forced to recant, and tho name of
Copernicus remained anathema for throo
centuries. The divine right of kings
was once universally accepted, and in
our own tiino Lovejoy lost his lifo in
Alton, and Garrison and Phillips risked
theirs in Boston for daring to question
the right of man to onslave his fellow
man.
The geological conclusions of Sir
Charles Lyell in tho nineteenth century
were condemned by tho church, as were
the astronomical theories of Galileo in
the seventeenth. Franklin's discovery
of tho identity of lightning and elec
tricity was ridiculed by tho English sci
entists of that day. Stephenson was
laughed at when ho asserted that his
locomotivo could draw a train at the
rate of 20 miles an hour. Wo all know
now that Galileo and Lyell, Franklin
and Stopheuson were right, and the rest
of tho world was wrong. But we go on
just the same condemning or refusing a
hearing to tho Lyells and Galileos, the
Lovejoys and Garrisons of today. Like
all our forefathers, we are sure that our
creeds and theories represent tho abso
lute and entire truth.
As Bagoliot says, "There is no pain
so great as the pain of a new idea,"
and tlierofore tho world shrinks from a
new idea as a child shrinks from the
surgeon's knife. Every proposal to
chango the established order is now, as
heretofore, condemned, often without a
hearing, as fatal to tho family, destruc
tive of religion or subversive of society.
We now accopt the doctrino that all
111011, of whatover color, are horn freo
and endowed with cortaiu inalienable
rights as expressed In our Declaration
of Independence. But for the most part
wo are satisfied with tho mere dcckira
tion that all men aro equally entitled to
life, liberty aud tho pursuit of happi
ness and aro impatient of any inquiry
as to whether our present political and
social organization really secures this
right equally to all men. In this country
wo have not since the Revolution doubt -
od tho truth of Jefferson's dictum that
"a government derives its just powers
from (ho consent of tho govorned," but
in 18(13 a proposal to grant to English
men their plain political rights was re
garded by the conservatives as threaten
ing the safety of tho kingdom aud the
continuance of social order. Macaulay's
arguments in favor of tho reform bill
apply with equal force to the conditions
of today, and the following from the
pen of the famous Dr. Arnold of Rugby
embodies a truth of universal applica
tion. Advocating the passage of tho re
form bill, he said: "One would think
that peoplo who talk against change
were literally as woll as metaphorically
blind and really did not see that every
thing in themsclvos and around them is
changing ovory hour by the necessary
laws of its boing. * * * There is noth
ing so romlutiouary, hocause there is
nothing so unnatural and so convulsive
to society, as tho strain to keep things
fixed, wlion nil tho world is, by the
very law of its crontion, in eternal prog
ress, and the causo of all tho ovils of
the world may bo traced to that natural
but most deadly error of human indo
lence and corruption—that our business
is to proservo and not to improvo."
It does not by any means follow that
every now idea is a good ouo; that overy
proposed chango would bo an improve
ment. But as progress is the law of tho
universe, it rests with the old order to
show why it should bo continued. It is
therefore the part of wise men to give
careful consideration to new idoas, how
ever contrary they may be to prevalent
opinions, bearing in mind the lessons of
history that "tho stouo which the build
ers rojected tho same is become tho hoad
of tho corner." In tho series of articles
that will fill these columns for many
weeks to come it is arranged to presold
to tho reader the views of leaders of
thought throughout the couutry on tho
vital quostious of the day, tho questions
that bear in their solution the weal or
woe of the present, the progress and
prosperity of the future. Such produc
tions should be read in tho spirit of St.
Faul's advice: "Provo all things. Hold
fast that which is good."
To this excellent principle should be
explicitly added the caution which it
is the main purpose of this introductory
article to enforce—viz, that the new
oan receive fair treatment only by re
moving so far as possible (it cannot be
wholly removed) tho handicap that is
placed upon it by prejudice in fuvor of
the existing order.

N UMBEP. 11. — THE MAN OUT OF EMPLOY
MENT.
Tho unemployed are found in places
where machinery is in use and in places
where machinery is not in use; where
gold is money, where silver is money
and whero paper in money; where there
is free trado and whero thero is protec
tion ; where government is corrupt and
where government is honest; under
monarchies and under republics. Neither
the question of machinery, relied upon
by Socialists, nor the question of money,
relied upon by Populists, nor the ques
tion of good government, relied upon by
political reformers generally, can solve
tho question of tho unemployed. The
most significant figure of our times is
tho man out of employment. Yostorday
he was regarded—so far as regarded at
all—with alternating contempt and
pity. Today ho is regardod with con
cern. Tomorrow he may he regardod
witli terror.
On your way home tonight some of
you will see, comiug out from tho shad
ow of an alley or building, a man ab
ject anil unkempt. He will not venturo
to stop yon; he will walk along with
you, and, in subdued voice and with
cringing air, will ask you for tlio price
of a night's cheap lodgiug or a cheap
supper. Who is ho? The mail out of
employment. You have seen him be
fore. He has called at your office. Ho
has been seen at your kitchen door.
You have seen him in crowds beforo tho
bulletin of employment offices. You
have seen tho crowd stream all day long
into some factory or offleo which had
advertisod "help wanted." You have
seen him wistfully watching more for
tunate men who were at work on scmo
building or excavation. You have seen
him on the country roadside. You have
seen him crawling from tho trucks of a
railway trnin. Ho is known to famo.
You can read of him in the newspapers,
where he appears in tho column of
crimes or in the column of suicides.
This is tho day of "labor problems,"
and on every such problem there falls
tho dark shadow of tho man out of em
ployment. Who keeps wages down? Tho
man out of employment.
Who reduced the wages of Pullman's
employees? Not Pullman himself, not a
greedy corporation, but the man out of
employment. Who ordered the great
strike of 1804? Not tho American Rail
way union, nor Dobs, but tho man out
of employment. Who is it that was
fearod by tho strikers? Not tho railway
mngnatos nor the courts, not the in
junctions nor tho troops, but the man
out of employment. Who broke tlio
strike? Tho man out of employment.
Who compels organized laborers to stand
together shoulder to shoulder? Not the
labor agitator, not the walking dele
gate, but the man out of employment.
Protean in shape, the man ont of em
ployment is hero a tramp, there a horo;
horo spiritless, thero proud; hero re
vengeful, thero patieut; here a mendi
cant, there a martyr. Tho man out of
employment is tho constant mouaco to
our civilization. Today tho army of tho
unemployed lurks in the rear. Tomorrow
it may bo at tho front, barring the way,
moro terrible than an army with ban
ners. Once mustered into that nrmy,
tho man out of employment uevor mns
tors out unless ho furnishes a substitute
from the ranks of werkiugmeu. Why
are men unemployed? Yesterday society
answered, "Because they wish to be."
Today society answers, "Wo do not
know." What shull bo dono with the
unemployed ?
Yesterday socioty answered, "Wo do
not care." Today socioty merely echoes,
"What can wo do?"

Cliango the feeling in an individual,
and his whole method of thinking will
bo revolutionized; cbungo the uxiom or
primary sensation in a science, and the
wholo structure will have to be recreat
ed. Tho current politicul economy is
founded on tho axiom of individual
greed, but let a new axiomatic emotion
spring up (as of justico or fair play, in
stead of individual greed), and the ba
sis of the scienco will bo altered aud
will necessitate a new construction. So
when peoplo arguo (on politics, mor
ality, art, etc.) it will generally bo
found that they differ at the base; thoy
go out perhaps quite unconsciously from
different axioms, and hence they cannot
agreo. Occasionally, of course, a strict
examination . will show that, while
agreoing u? tho baso, one of them has
made a firlse step in doduction. In that
case his thought does not represent his
primary feeling, and when this is point
ed out ho is forced to alter it. * * *
This ir the coinmcrciul age, tho oli
garchy and plutocracy of Plato. Honor

Wago slavery, usury, mortgages and
other abominations indicate the advance
of the mortal process. In tlio individual
man gain is tho end of existence.—Car

Husbandry is tho firstborn, but it is
not; the most favored, trade, because

nothing but laws.—Bismarck.
RICH MAN'S APOLOGY.
Why Ue Pinned a 100 11111 to tho llaby'a
Among the mnny passengers on a
t'nion Pacific train was a traveling
man, an eastern capitalist, and a young
man with a child. The train was two
days out from San Francisco, and per
sons who have made this trip realize
how tired flic passengers must have
been, especially those who traveled
from the far east. The babe was cross,
fretful and irritable, like most bnbies
cciy rally are, and often its cries could
be heard all over the ear. The father,
for such the young fellow proved to be,
(lid everything in his power to quiet
the child, but without success, and for
hours the pnssengerswithstood thetor
ture without a murmur. The capitalist
was one of those cranky individuals,
and moved his seat a number of times,
but go where he would the pitiful cries
of the child reached him.
Finally he lost his patience, and with
his face red with anger walked up to
the seat occupied by the young father.
"Take that brat to its mother," he
exclaimed loud enough for everybody
irt the car to hear. "What the deuco
do you mean by keeping it here and dis
turbing everybody in the car? No
doubt she's asleep and cares little
whether the baby annoys us or not."
The father slowly rained lils eyes,
and as he did so the tears trickled down
his checks like rain. Finally he spoke,
but it was with a great effort.
"My wife," he said, "Is in her coffin in
the bnggage car. I don't know much
about children, but I am doing the best
I can."
The capitalist's face was a study-. lie
saw that it would be useless to offer an
apology, nnd without saying a word he
walked back to his seat. The passen
gers could see that he was deeply
moved, and what his thoughts were
can better be imagined than expressed.
The traveling man, who occupied the
seat behind tho father, reached over
and said:
"Let me take your child. I have a
little girl at home, and maybe I can
quiet yours."
Without a word the father handed
the child over the seat to him. The
youngster watched the transaction
with wondering eyes, and for a mo
ment was inclined to cry. Then it be
came interested in his watch charm,
•and in a little while was asleep. The
loud talk was hushed and even the
poker party broke up. The father also
dropped asleep, and while he was en
joying his much-needed rest the cap
italist walked to the seat in which the
baby was cuddled up. Long and earn
estly he gazed at the innocent face,
and there was something about his
eyes which looked like tears. The pas
sengers saw him reach in his pocket,
and when he drew it out again the fin
gers clutched a SIOO bill. This he
pinned to the child's dress and re
turned to his scat. This was his way
of soothing the wounded feelings of
its father.—lndianapolis Sentinel.
A NEW ANIMAL.
Strange Kyoless Creature with a Ilnrn
Tail Found in Auntralla.
Once in a little while we hoar that
some geologist has 'liscovcred, or con
cocted, n fossilized antediluvian beast
not yet known on the books. But tlie
discovery of anything new in the ani
mal and vegetable kingdoms of to-day
is exceedingly rare.
The greater must be the surprise of
the scientific world at the find which
Prof. E. C. Sterling, of Adelaide,, late
ly made in the central desert of the
Australian continent. The ilewly
found animal is only a small mole, but,
like its big neighbor, the kangaroo,
it seems to be a remnant of a period be
yond the' ken of man. It resembles
the kangaroo, for the female has a
pouch in which to carry its young.
Its general color is a pale gray, re
lieved on some parts by silvery and
golden tints.
The face of this stranger presents u
queer sight, it being simply a horny
plate crossed by a dividing line and
having two nose holes where there is
no nose. The mouth is underneath
this plnte. Eyes there are none, and
minutely small, round holes ure the
only outward indications of the organ
of hearing.
The toil resembles a truncated cone
and is bald-headed, so to speak. As
the mole has *lO teeth, it is the more
liable to toothache. Prof. Sterling
was astonished at the strength of the
animal demonstrated by the rapidity
with which it uses its forefeet, encum
bered with enormous, oddly-shaped
nails. With these feet and the horny
snout it digs with such speed into and
through the loose sand of that region
that, once lost to sight, it cannot be
traced again.
No tunnel marks the route of this
underground traveler. With its hind
feet it completely closes the passage
behind it as fast as it progresses. Like
its brethren in Europe and America, it
subsists chiefly on animal food, ants
and the larvae of insects.—N. Y. World.
Deer Shooting: In Scotland.
Forty-night stags (including one
royal and an 11-pointer) had boon
killed this season in Lord Alrlie's for
est of Coenlochan, in Forfarshire,
which is let to Mr. G. W. Henderson,
who succeeded Mr. Pilkington in the
tenancy. This is a remarkable score,
considering thatCaenlochan comprises
only 9,000 acres, the ground also in
cluding the Tulchan grouse moors.
Still more striking was the bag in the
adjoining forest of Glencally, which
is rented by Mr. Lambert from Sir John
Kinloch. The extent is little more
than 3,000 acres, nnd 28 stags were
sla>t, while the Glcnisla moors (5,000
acres) yielded a bag of nearly 800 bra<
of grouse. These two shootings are
on the march with the heavily stocked
deer forest of Glen Doll. London
