jaws mr young will not crown his brow with the laurels of fame by the production of this brace of legislative fledglings fledgling 1 communicated AN undoubted THE popular preacher of plymouth church hit upon a very vital truth tru t 11 1 and prerequisite of stable society when in speaking in regard to the south he said the great fault of the south is that the be people jack lack sympathy for the laboring clas cias classed seb sek the better class olafs has striven to be equitable toward the laborer but s equit ity is cold and the laborer wants sympathy if there thele Is ono one on diver diven ginee gince more certain than another between employers and employed f it is well stated is as above for years past this condition bab baa been growing and it continues to increase in la magnitude and to ery year a larger per of our industrial population the preacher had reference no doubt to the colored people of the buth but the white man is a tic vic tim to the bame harsh cause tho the antagonism which comes cornea from interests that apparently conflict ia Is made evident in the suspicion jealousy and withdrawal of confidence which la said to be well nigh universal between those who labor and who employ or purchase that labor hence come strikes instead of arbitration waste instead of ia crease and idleness in place of work each party sees but its downside own side of the dispute and both fall fail to see that their best interests ard are really mutual and united this is often the result of ignorance and still more often of that ignorance inflamed by demagogues and used by them as a simple steppingstone stepping stone to importance popularity or an easy living the ideal of mutual erous trust and unlimited confidence between two classes wis was and is measurably yet to be found among the landed gentry of 0 theale tue the old oid world there tenants and laborers albeit working for little remuneration ne were not ilot beneath the notice of the lord or squire my lady was the confidante and adviser of the mothers wives and daughters of the peasantry and in seasons of sorrow the ever ready hand and purse parse as well as the voice and heart of interest and sympathy were never known to fail bu butt bute it almost seems as if estrangement came with giant factories felc feic tories and mammoth works yet even there there was many a grand tradition oD and often practical realization ot of the ancient habit both in thought and action that mutual dependence barred out all ro urness all mistrust and all antagonism as they exist today to day it was waa once said that corporations have no bouls souls and many wealthy employers are in themselves a corporation their em aloyes may be very numerous but they are looked upon as so many machines machin cs aa as so much raw material to be utilized or cast east away as the necessities of the moment may demand domand they are worth so much in wages that is their right their due abstract justice can demand no more but equity Is cold and the laborer wants sympathy I 1 and this Is more than paltry coin one of the largest iron proprietors in boutu booth W wales aies ales lamented bitterly uit bit leuly this coldness which is the one symptom of industrial and social death he said eaid that men now readily leave the firm for which their fathers worked all their days and that employers dla ala discharge charge without compunction those who may have given the flower and glory of their lives to establish tho the business which gave them bread broad the warm kindly feelings which prompted intense Inte interest reit in indi vidual prosperity and family and that took pride in seeing growing comfort and independence in the workman Is fast passing away with many others of the lost and forgotten arts now in utah where the brotherhood of man id la supposed suppo sappo aed aad to be one of the corner stones of a new now re regime gline we might expect something better than this but human nature ia is human nature and many a sensitive man has felt here that a little less lees indifference in employers would be a real blessing and advantage to both the interested n te parties patties part pait lua iea far too often otten wages are reduced or kept at a standpoint where in the old world there them would be given ada aja an unsought advance nor would this advance be grudgingly beste bestowed weda it would be hearty whole and from genuine interest in and regard for a tried and capable servant and friend enquiry and interest in regard to a map mans 18 fi family in regard to his bis temporal welfare suggestions growing out of this interest and including such things as securing him a home and all the name implies never would be out of place and this interest being mutual would work to tar the advantage of both it would often bring economy care time and attention where indifference fe renco cold coid coldness neglect or apparent would induce a watching of the lazy clock glock or bring a sudden bolt before the hour but it may be argued that this would ba be unjust that fon for wages paid service should be rendered i but wages never bought 0 or r paid a true or sensitive man when men work only for wages when they are uninfluenced by esteem for their employer when he by harsh ness or coldness places himself outside the sympathies good feelings and good wishes of his employers emp loyess loyes they will become time servants eye eje and aa the employers erb aim is to get gei that labor for the least possible pay it la le likely the servant will in turn award the least possible amount of labor all employers whether individual or corporate should manifest respect for and interest in those who labor for them should listen to their appeals should consider their needs should make it to their advantage to continue in that service and by increased remuneration control this enlarged experience for a mutual end in a word so called servants should ba be treated aa as men manhood brotherhood 3 friendship should be encouraged or cred creg created ted mutual dependence should ba be acknowledged respect and courtesies and amenities of life 1110 should be unstintingly awarded coldness and indifference should give way to warm cordiality and studied interest thus conti confidence dence would come in place of jealousy and distrust neither would be satisfied with simply frigid or tardy justice for all should know that equity is cold and the laborer as a man wants sympathy THE PROPOSED NEW AMENDMENT THE proposition for a constitute constitutional ion lon amendment forbidding polygamy in the united states which originated with a talented regular correspondent of the new now york tribune f and has been introduced into the house of representatives by mr J 0 burrows barrows of michl michi michigan 9 an does not find favor with the rabid anti cormons of this territory who pretend to be so anxious for the suppression of the twin

alarm it ia is not very ilk lik likely ely that such an amendment wi will wiil I 1 ce e adopted W we do not believe it will pass a democratic house it would be a contradiction of democratic doctrine which teaches that domestic religious and social affairs should bo be regulated by local and not national law and that each state should have tho the control of such within its own boundaries to buit
