Clergymen In America are a privileged class, and they ought to be a very happy set of people. In Germany and France, and In Italy also, they must render mili tary service, Jut as laymen do. In Germany It is the custom to do them a favor by consigning them to the hosid tals, where their professional skill will com? Into play, but in France, on the other hand, and In Italy, too, no favor of any kind are shown them. They must take their chances with the rest of the world and go Into the ranks. We Amerl cans ari a little less severe and a good deal moro respectful. A great many clergymen were In the civil war, and some few were In the ranks as common soldiers, but It was their option to oc cupy that position. The truth Is we treat everybody pretty well in thin coun try, and It Is the best spot on the globe to live in. Mr. H. R.

He said that the Alaska Packers' Association had bought up th leader of th fishermen union and on newspaper at Astoria and one at Cuthlamet to hold the strike as long a they could, the same as Coleman's man Johnson did ome years ago. Now there are a lot of the boy up there who are friend of mine, and It I too bocl to have them humbugged by those fel low when there I lomethlng to be made.
