I see by the papora that the retail "coal dealers have struck. These down trodden end aiWieped fellow citizens demand a raise of fifty cents a ton on coal., front the tint day of November, 18$7, and, ghat is more to have be purpo ,e, they are going to it. With piaus.i,ratitude they see the merciful Indian Summer fade away, and they hail with hymns of gladness the snow. senting in the North. • A week ago they met at the 'Grand Pacific Hotel, and sang the doxology of the coal monopoly, "0, ye frost and.00ld, 0, ye. ice and suovr, Bless ye the Lord : praise him and magnify him for ever." Praise him and magnify him, an extra tlfty cents a ton. It was further resolved at said meeting that any retail coal dealer, wicked and depraved euough to sell coal at a fair profit after November lst, should be boycotted by the asso- ciation, and his business destroyed. A communication' waa read from the agents of the coal monopoly, and wholesale dealers, to the effect that they would do the boycotting ; that. they would not-seli- coal to any aban- doned profligate retailer who should refuse to join the strikers, or who should (let:hue to take advantage of the- icebergs created by au all -wise Providence for the benefit of coal inerchauts. I aw writing this a few days before the first of November, but 1 write ie the bonfideut assurance that the strike will he successful, and that from that °day forward I must pay an extra fifty cents a ton for coal. The strikes of capital and monopoly uovcr fail ; the strikes of labor seldom succeed. It is not at all certain that this will be the last strike of the coal dealers this winter. It is highly probable, indeed, that they will strike for another fillty cents a ton by the lst of December. It depends ou the weather. All through November they will watch with greedy eyes the beaver and the squirrel. If the beaver builds his house with extra care, and niakes,a thicker wall than • usual, or if the chipmunk lays in an extra store of nuts, the coal men will decide that the winter will be "hard,' and they will sanctity the augury by another tax ou coal. 1+ifty cents a ton oil coal isn't much when you look at it as a mere question of arithmetic, a sura in siinple addition ; but wheu you measure it by a poor man's wages, and realize that it we ane a half a day's work for him, it rises to the dignity of algebra, and if you reflect that it includes._. the warning of a corresponding extortion upon all other necessaries, it becomes a heaiachin'e, heartachiug problem of economical trigonometry that baffles Benjamin Franklin. It makes the pews laugh at the pulpit, and . the pulpit laugh at the pews as the coal dealer's prayers go up to heaven, asking for an early winter and a lata spring. For in• stance; I see by last Sunday's paper tlu�t the lumber duelers had a meet- ing the day before, and reeulveet to • strike for an extra 62 per thousand foot. Their strike will be successful, too, bec usoettrey-havn-th-c-capital'to make it win. As I have no money either-to:build houses or to buy them, it looks as if the strike of the lumber dealers is nothing to me. My neighbor's affairs can regulate them- selves; .it is enough for me to mind my own business. I used to practice that philosophy,but I think it cramps the liberal soul, and shuts the gen- erous hand. I have joined the other church, and I now believe that rny: ' neighbor's affairs aro also mine, and that I have an interest in everything that happens in this World. 1 have an interest.in the strike of the 11rmber.de_alers, because I know it wilt be followed by a' strike of the nail dealers, and the brick dealers, and the glass ,dealers, and the dealers in putty. Dear material means less building, and that means -less de - mend for workmen, and less wages for the mechanic and the laborer. This strike attacks mo front and rear, • because although I ruay not feel the added price of lumber so directly as I feel the extra price of coal, yet it hits we indirectly in the rent •I pay for the house that gives inc shelter from the steno. I cannot escape it any easier. than, 'I can escape the e1 ti gees of tcai,petature that follow the procession of t!ie sun° It does not equalize conditions to tell the that T have the ,privilege to ' ritrike for higher wages.

Instantly the.answer came hack, `"Take the battery.'' 'iliis WELD excellent advice providing the battery would consent to be cap- tured, So, when Capitol strikes for higher prices, the advice to Labor to make a counter strike for higher wages, is merely an order to "take the battery." The odds against us are too great, and the battery refuses to be taken. The other day I read, with much pleasure, that the output of coal for this year was greater than last year by about three million tons. Left to the natural laws of trade and produc• tion this would give us cheaper coal this wintery and that was the reason I rejoiced.

I shudder as•I think of the long winter impending over homes poorer than mine. I heard a lecture once on chemistry, and the lecturer said that coal was carbon sent here from the sun, tbat it waa nothing else than the sun's rays transformed by natural chemistry into trees, and these again 1!y decomposition con, verted into coal. He saidthat in this way the rays of the sun, shed upon the earth millions of years ago, were concentrated and embalmed, to be liberated by combustion into flame and heat, millions of years afterwards, for the use and benefit of man: He said that nota ray of sun. shine_ that fell upon the earth was wasted, but that 'nature had provided for the saving of it all. The strike of_tlie coal dealers to keep the dead °rays of the sun out of the poor man's home, only proves that they would monopolize • and tax ,the living sun- shine if they could.. They would sell the air wo breathe, the .green upon, the grass, the perfume of the flowers, and the songs of the birds; but let us rejoice that they are not able to do that yet'. Aa the swart blacksmith, Ebenezer Elliott, used to sing at his anvil, so I sing at my wheelbarrow. Beneath the might of wicked men Tho poor man's worth is dying, But thanks to God, in spite of them, The lark still warbles flying. The unbelievers tell us there is no place of futre punishment, b ut I cannot agree to that. There must be a place "beyond Jordan"-ne e- fuel is cheap, where coal dealers who strike against the poor will be kept warm for ever° Elbe there would be a gap in the moral universe where a big chuhk of justice had been knocked out. • ,A STRONG DENUNCIATION Bishop Cleary Accuses Cana- dian Girls of Immodesty. GIRLS TRAINED TO BE BOLD AND IMPUDENT •Napanee, November 10.•—Bishop Cleary, in the course of his reply to the address presented to hint here by the laity of the church on' his visit last week,. said :— "When the angel appeered to the Virgin with the salutatign,'Hail, Mary,' site was timid • and ashamed, being frightened at the appearance of a man. 011, tho modesty of the Virgin Mary ! What a contrast to the canduet of the women and -girls of this country ! The women of 'Canada are not timid• orZ�udoet, but bold and loud in their actions in public. You all know how women scream and screech in their talk in the cars,- until those who would have quiet or who would enjoy a read, give up iu dtfsgiist, and aro forced to seek a quieter retreat in the smokiug car. Travelling in Canada is made• well nigh intoler- able by bold, screaming, .screeching women. Girls, too, en the streets, kick. tip their heels, lint -their pot-. tieoats, and stare intosthe faces of of the loon they meet; until a gentle- man who has any- regard' for mod- esty is -stared completely. out of countenance Is this the .example wo get from the Virgin Mary ? 'If giels understood, anything of mod- esty or a becoming • demeanor they - would. not be guilty Of such conduct. But of the beauty and virtue of modesty they are not taught any- thing. . Noels sty is not one of the things taught in our public schools; on the contrary, girls at these schools learn to be boisterous, immodest, screaming, kicking creatures, such as \vas never seen even among. peg - alis. Our publip schools are dos- troyers of modesty, an abomination and a disgrae•t. All female mod- esty is de tt'oyecl in the girls that attend ahem, and they become RUDE, SCREECHING FEMALES, who kick their heels, flirt their ski,t.s, and stare lute the faces of the mon with a boldness that must bring the blush. of shame to the cheek of every modest matt. Only think of this in contrast with the timid modesty= of the Holy Virgin Mary.
