FIVE YEARS OLD TO-DAY.
TO NELLIE.
Swing open the wide parlor doors,
Let in the brightest sun.
Strew leaves and flowers upon the
floors,
Make way for romping fun.
Release the bonds of mild restraint,
Turn duty into play,
Charge not a single small complaint ;
She's five years old to-day.
Untie the ribboned gifts of Love,
Bring out the frosted cake.
By many a candid token prove
We're happier for her sake.
.O'er paths of roses guide her feet
Thro' pleasure's brightest way,
'Til dreamland music tinkles sweet ;
She's five years old to-day.

The meanest man in the present
struggle between the A. R. U. and
the railroads is not the capitalistic
class, for we expect to find them on
the side of railroads ; but the mean
est man is the laborer who is against
the union and in favor of the rail
roads. He is a poor, miserable,
cringing tool, whose opinions are
echoes, and whose hands no honest
man of any class should touch. He
is meaner than the renegade white
who in early days joined the Indians
in murdering and (fobbing white
communities. The capitalist we can
forgive, and treat with respect, for
where a man's treasure is, it is natu
ral for his heart. to be, also; but
there is only one place for the fel
low who, working hard for a living
himself, takes sides against his fellow-laborers,
and that place has a
climate a blamed sight hotter than
Fresno. Not all capitalists and em
ployers are against the A. R. U. in
tin's stiuggle. Many of them are
broad-minded and good hearted men,
and used their means in a public
spirited way, and they are with hu
manity in its struggle to better its
condition. The distance between
one of these better ciass of capital
ists, though he were worth millions,
and the laborer who is against other
laborers, is as great as the distance
between Heaven and Hell. Every
sell respecting man despises the
toady, the tool, the sycophant.
People will use traitors, but they
despise them, always. So we say
to every laboring man, don't reserve
your hate for the man who is natur
ally against your side of the ques
tion. Reserve it all for the con
temptible cur of a laborer who, in
stead of being a man, prefers to bo
a cringiDg lickspittle. New Char

tered a section of the Topekii
