8 THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, APRIL 189 1. OMAHA PULPITS AND KELLY | How the Commonweal Movement is Rogarded by Local Clergymen, SYMPATHY WITH CONDITION, NOT AiMS All Sides logy for Raitronds and Capltalists of Tyindall, Butler, er and € Dr. Mackay Wants Justice on pinion Webs Last week's events in Omaha and Council Bluffts had their effect Omaha pulpits yesterday, and in many of the churches the sermons had an tinge, with much direct digcussion of the unsettled industrio-economic and uneasy condition of the working world, of which Kelly's army is both a result and a symptom. In most cases sympathy expressed with the condition, though not with the immediate and specific aims of the armies of the unemployed who are headed for Washington, though the unjust condi tions which cause suffering when there might be plenty for all were deplored. The pulpit remedy seemed to be the general one of ap all hun plying Ohristian ethics to | cerns. Said Dr. Mackay of All Sain ehurch Granting all that can be sald regarding the tyranny of capital, is it not true that men put themselves in the position of chattels by their own want of prudence and frugality? When a man falls to respect himself how can he expect other men to respect him? When the spendthrift com to want, what right has he to complain be causs his fellow workmen refuse to glve him of their hard earned money? and look at the Go _down into our city gilded palaces called saloons and the haunts of vice and ask who supports them. The capitalist? Oh, no. The workingmen and the wage earners. These men are selling themselves into a slavery worse than that of the south before the war. The money that ghould go to the support of the family, that hould be laid by in anticipation of a rainy day, Is squandered over cards or to poison the stomach. And yet it is oftentimes these slaves of their own follies and vices that are the loudest shouters for liberty and who most fiercely denounce the capitalist and corpora- tion. Men must recognize the value of their wn souls, their dignity as men made in the mage of God, ere thelr fellow men wiil horo* them and yield to them the consideration they deserve. Never shall true justice be done between 1 nd man, between cap- ftalist and laborer, until all alike acknowl- Ige their divine fatherhood and their com- mon brotherhood in Jesus Christ. Today in this land we are confronted by the problem of how to reconcile the interests of two opposing camps—capital and labor. No true man can fail to be interested in the causes of the trouble, and we of the clergy should be foremost in trying to find a peace- ful solution of the problem. We should de- plore that recklessness in public speakers and in the public press which widens the freach by wholesale denunciations of capital and of the rich, as if all capitalists were highway robbers and all rich men veritablo Shylocks. Capital has rights which labor is bound to respeet, and while in the past pub- lic opinion has been on the side of the cap- italist, now the tendency seems to be the other ‘way, and corporations are treated as if they had no rights, as when during the last week the raflroads were threatened and abused because they would not carry the In- dustrial army free gratis to Chicago. So far as the abstract right is concerned, these rallroad corporations are not to be blamed for their action in refusing to carry theso men. Their representatives might have used gentler methods, but nevertheless their po- sition is a correct one, and if we could get at the motives of these public spirited (?) citizens of both cities (the wealthy ones T mean), who were &0 urgent in their appeals to the railroad corporations and ceased not day or night sending appeals to the managers 1n Chicago to “move the army on,” we should find, I fear, that it was the selfish desire to rid themselves of a burden they were un- willing to bear, and to shift the responsibil- ity of feeding thesc men on others. It was not so much love for Kelly and his army as love for their own personal comfort and safety that actuated them. The question these men have raised by their curious pil- grimage can be settled here as well as in Tllinois or at Washington, and the sooner a settlement is arrived at the better for all concerned. All sincere lovers of their country should exert selves to bring about a better feeling between these opposing camps, and to this end every effort should be made to stop this gathering of large bodies of men with no ostensible object in view save to coerce the law makers at Washington into complying with their demands. No feeling of sympathy for these men should be allowed to blind the eyes of thinking men to the possible result of such gatherings as those of Kelly's army. The country is in a con- dition too serious for any such ill-timed and unwise movements. While no doubt the Jeaders are sincere and honest men, their sincerity of purpose is no guaranty of their wisdom and statesmanship. My sympathies are with the wage earner and the poor as being one with them, rather than with the capitalist, but I strive to prevent my sym- pathy with either class degenerating into prejudices against either, and the fact that a man Is rich or poor should not be allowed to enter the merits of the dispute between them. 'There is a higher standard by which to estimate the merits of the dispute, that of even-handed justice between man and man, even as there is a higher standard by which to measure the vaule of a man. Robert Burns' oft quoted sentence, * man's a man for a’ that,” is often wrongly applicd, and is not always true. The honest, thrifty work- fngman, who saves his hard earned wages and succeeds in bullding a home for his fam- fly, Is more of a man than the voluntary tramp, who has fallen so low as to live by begging from door to door. There 15 a refining process which takes the unsightly ore and extracts from it the purest gold. There is a higher chemistry which will yet draw out the good that is in all men, which will make the human divine. which will make a man so precious in his own sight that he dare not defile the temple of God, which he i, and so precious in the sight of his fellow men that all the gold of the world will be worthless in comparison. That time will surely come when we shall recognize in every man, who is truly m: our brother—when all men shall stand to God in the same relation that Jesus stood God in them and they in God, and so the whole great universe shall be bound together faileth, shall and_all tend to by that love which ne: with “sure, unfaltering work one ineffable, beatific end." WANTS Webster Is Heart and Soul with the A Tenth Street church last night, Rev. T. C. pastor, preached on the subject Across the Continent, or Lessons Rev. T. At the South Methodist aplscopal Webster “A March from Kelly's Army Ho sald the secular and spiritual world should not be divorced inasmuch as one was important for the benefit of the other. He was on the side of the laboring people and saw in capital as it was now being controlled a great engine for the oppres- slon of the poor man. This did not refer to all capital, some of it was being properly mpplied. Capital was a necessary adjunct to labor and without it labor could not prosper; on the other hand labor was a necessary adjunct to capital and to have both succeed It was necessary they go hand in hand. He thought the outcome of the present depression would be dreadful if capital much longer refused to recognize honest labor. Kelly's army was a fair representation of the honest working men out of employment. It represented a cry for bread; bread for wives and families nd children, and still the monopoly, cap- ital, refused to become a party to succor it. ' “Take this army,” he sald, ‘take its general, a gentleman in all ways and at ull timeés, In many ways a remarkable man This army of 1,600 men on a mission to secure from our congress ald for them: es and the unemployed the country ove “‘Some look upon them as vagrants, tramps and outcasts, men who are imposters, but it these men are lmposters and outcasts then all who are out of employment are. They are quiet, orderly, and under perfect dis- elpline, Liquor has mot been brought iuto the camp, and one man®who in some way secured a bottle of whisky and passed it among the members of the army was ex pelled for jt.”" Mr. Webstor read an extract from The Bee regarding the sobriety of the army, say Ing that the only thing In the semblance of liquor that was ever brought fnto camp was a barrel of eider, and that had beer or in toxicants been offered it would have been refused He looked upon the Industrial army as the marvel of the Nineteenth century. Its march across the c in t was in many ways wonderful and he, quoting the seven wonders of t the elghth “In my opinicn,” sald he, “this is but the forerunner of a revolution that will forever settle the difference between capital and labor, and settle it rightly. Do you think it these men were tramps and vagrants they this must be world, thought would have endured the hardships of cold and sleeping in the rain that they have and hung together all along I tell you, my brethren, it's something to be admired, and it is to be hoped their errand will not be In vain. Not all capital is monopoly, nor do I mean it is unjust for one to become wealthy. It is the extreme the oppression of the already downtrodd which usually follows the acquirement of wealth, Let us be just to all, rich and poor alike; let us hope that Ged's mercy may ex tend to us all and give the honest laboring man a chance to earn an honest living. In this land of plenty there is abundance for all, and one has as much right as another to share God's blessing. Both muscle and money are gifts from God, and it is as wrong to misappropriate one as the other. Were capital rightly directed, it would assist labor, which should in turn recognize rightly directed capital in a brotherly man ner, knowing that the welfare of hoth de pends upon the willingness of both to assist each other. What the result of this mission would be Mr. Webster declined to predict, but he said he hoped and prayed the congress of the United States would recognize the living petition presented to it relieve the distress it and do something to presented.

But I do not believe they have a right to seize a train of cars and appropriate it for their transpor- tation. I rejoice that Mr. Kelly has refused to accept transportation. We must admire some ¢ the calm, noble and Christian conduct of Mr. Kelly and his men as scen in these parts, and it will go far to aid their cause. “As to the outgrowth of this movement, it is hard to prophesy at this early stage of its progress. Not even does Kelly himself feel able to To say the best, it looks as if the movement were feeling its way slowly in the dark in rather an aimless is to be hoped that the object of ~that of better times for the poor reached without bloodshed and Nor the arm —may death. should we be too hasty to condemn the peo- ple of Council Bluffs, the authorities of Iowa or even the railroad managers. This will not be New is the time to keep cool. help the cause. Not even liberal Omaha would re to entertain for great while such a large number of men in Kelly' army free of charge. After so much charity has been_dispensed as there has been this winter, mosc-cities feel poorly prepared to continue It under present circumstanc This we say without the slightest fault-find- ing with Kelly or his honorable army. Let us move slowly and cautiously, and I belicve that most of the good people of our land will be with our poor and industrious people in a substantial way. “The god of America is money, and mil- lionaires are trying to run the government. Doubtless many other things enter into our national hard times and troubles as causes, such as the tariff question, congress, silver problem, Cleveland's administration, refusal of banks to loan money, small circulation of money, little work for the laborer, too much speculation and general depression, but the chief cause is our sins, such as the saloon traffic, Sabbath desecration, and especially the love of money as underlying it all. God has also a hand in this matter of hard times and social upheaval. Our present troubles are largely the result of our love of money and the possession of too much of the spirit of Cain, when he said: ‘Am [ my brother’s keeper? The great motto for a prosperous people Is the greatest commandment, love to God and man, the fatherhiood of God and the brotherhood of man. We have brotherhoods enough, but too little brotherly love.” Chief Glory of th Kelly's army had a place In the prayers of Rev. S. W. Butler of the St. Mar, Avenue Congregational church yesterday morning, who asked God's blessing on_those who were far from home on that pilgrim- age, and beseeched that those who stood in the pivotal places of power might be endowed with wisdom in their efforts to settle the uneasy and menacing industrial condition. Referring briefly to the Kelly army in his sermon, Mr. Butler said: ‘“The only really admirable and commendatory thing about the army is its refusal to com- mit depredations.” What the present situa- tion demanded was the application of Chris- tlan principles to civic and social affairs The country needed religious politicians. Russian Jews Helping Kelly. At the regular service of the congregation of the Russian Israelites held in the syna- gogue on Capitol avenue yesterday morn- ing, ex-President Jacob M made quite an earnest appeal for help for the Common- wealers and a resolution of sympathy was unanimously carried and a committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions to be col- lected and forwarded to General Kelly, — Frank J.
