ARE THE " STRIKES " OVER?

We are sorry to see that most of the better off classes, in this country' look on the miserable riots, provoked by folly on one side and on the other, as over. There are expert and able demagogues at work to organise the hundreds of thousands of unemployed men — some unwilling to work, but most of them, not wishing to eat the bread of idleness, and, fearful thing, notable to find <nsorlt ! Some of our Mends look hopefully on the prospect for next winter, saying " The American people are so practical that they will find a solution for the threatening danger !" We are sorry not to be able to share that confidence. The want of Faith, Hope and Charity, as taught only by the Catholic Church, is hardening class against class in this country. For nearly thirty years, professedly, in the primary schools where children are taught, Jesus Christ has been put out of school, or " boxed up " during school hours. Almost professedly this whole people have undertaken to do without Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ, on His part, determines to do without the people of the United States ! It will be good for those that are able. to flee out of them, not to be partakers in the plagues that will come on them. — N. Y. Freeman's Journal.
