Some farmers have sowed tbei small grain while others have no commenced yet, and some have not got their corn out yet. Cattle and hogs as a general thing are looking well considering the long hard winter the have had to pull through, and most of them witho-it shelter of any kind to protect them, but. we think the farmers have learned a lesson from this year's oxperience, so they will be better prepared in the mture. Glad to hear from Bro. Helvern in his new home in Arkansas, but we expect to see him back to "God's country" about the Fourth of July shaking with the ague. Wm. Schrull, Chas. Steflen, and Mrs. Armisted are still on the sick list. Sm. We Strikers. Published by request. We have been opprobriously brand ed as communists, as a mob as rioters, disturbers of the peace, and itrikers. Are we not your friends and broth ers? Are we not loyal, 6ober industri ous, tax paying and home loving human beings? Have we not paid the earnings of hard toil lavishly into the coffers of your bankers and merchants? Have we not freely expended our money to sustain your schools and churches? Have we uot cheerfully contributed our money, our labor and our brains to advance every interest and welfare of this city? Are we not composed of tho same blood and niusclo and do not the samel chemical elements enter into tho composition of our Dlood as yours? Haye we not the same sympathies, affections and feelinrs for our wives and children that you have? Have we ever been guilty of robbery, 'forgery, bribery, frauds, corruption, dishonesty, seduc tion and midnight arson? Have we ever been declared rebels or outlaws, either by the laws of our state or coun try? Are we professional hypocrites, violators of the sanctity, purity and happiness of tho domestic circle? Have wo any rights left or are wo the slaves ot aristocratic aristocracy? Does tho fact of having filched fifty or sixty thousand dollars from a certain rail way company carry with it the power to any officials of any city to appoint a hoodlum police force, load them down with shot gunB to halt, hold up, or terrorize our wives, sons and daughters without causn or provocation? Is this law and order, justice and equity, liberty and humanity? Is this a sample ef our enlightened civilazation? Is this the boasted "land of the free and home of tho brave?" Is this the asylum of the oppressed, where das tardly cowards are allowed and in structed to hold us up. while attending to our usual business avocations, with all the bravado of highwayman? Is it bravery on your part, when you see us engaged in life and death struggle with a soulless corporation for our homes and families and a more ele vated humanity, to take sides against us and crush us? Will it be a source of enjoyment or satisfaction to your Christian souls to hear the last expir ing wail of humanity as it ascends to God for vengeance from the groaning, toiling millions? Is :.t any wonder that Christianity languishes when our preachers are sacrificing humanity on the altar of the "golden calf?" Truly "the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine." Will it) be any wonder if in the near future some of our codfish aristocracy shall find themselves between the npper and nether millstone? Wo glory in the name of strikers ! Patriots, loyalists and liberty-loving, freedom-seeking men and women of all ages and cl.mes have been strikers. It was strikers who were enabled to throw off the tyranical yoke of op pression and plant the glorious stars and stripes over what should be a land of freedom! We strike for the rights of humanity We strike for our homes and families. Wo strike for a higher edui ation. We strike tor justice, liberty and equality, and may the God of Justice strike down the "golden calf and its wor shippers ! We only ask that the company's officials maintain the same dignity and sobriety which have characterized the actions of the strikers, and we feel assured that no trouble will ensue. but we as citizens shall avail ourselves of our privileges as such to defend our lives and our families from the fury of a drunken mob.

This order is still in its infancy, be ing a little ever seventeen years of age having started with seven members. To-day its membership numbers more than 156,000, That multiplied five, the estimated number in each family, will give 1 80,000 souls directly interested in the gtowth and prosperity of the order. This order has contributed as much as, or more, toward relieving poverty and degradation, than any other. It is a plan that has driven want and death from many a fireside, and erected in their place the standard of hope and protection. The first death occurred in 1871. The widow received $160. Since then there has been paid $135, 000,000 to the widows and orpnans of of the deceased members. A few years ago this order was re garded with distrust. It was thought that it was a trades union of the ordi nary type. Today this society is com posed of members from every station of life, governors of states, judges of courts, ministers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics and laborers. Some object to the name of work men. This order is composed of workmen who are ready to do anything to advance their fellow men in the scale of civilization and usefulness. Each and every person when he joins this order receives a benefit certificate by which at his death anyone whom he may name will receive two thousand dollars, and at a much less yearly rate than any other plan of life iasurance He also has a membership in a lodge where fraternity and philanthropy is constantly taught and practiced, each member being entitled to a weekly sick benefits if unable to attend to his usual business.
