THE CLASS WITH CHARACTER.
(To THE Ronne or THE " Seecaracia.")
Snr,—.4 propos of your most admirable article, " The Class with Character " (which I would give much to see distributed by hundreds of thousands all over the country), the following incident which took place not very for from here some little time ago may interest your readers. I give it as I heard it. Doctor: " So you are going to strike, are you?" Railwayman: "Yes, we are going to strike." D.: "Well, look here, I shall strike too." R.: " What do you mean?" "D.: " Well, your little girl whose life I saved the other day by hard work will probably he ill again and you will mind for me. I won't conic, and she will die! " It.: " What! do you say that? Well, I never thought of such a thing!" I do not suppose that the doctor would have carried out his threat. I know the doctors. They work hard day and night (not eight hours, but some- times eighteen), and never strike. They are a living lesson of unselfishness to all classes. And so are some of the hard- working clergy. But they have not the same voting-power as the so-called working-class.—I am, Sir, Sc.,
EDWARD C. BALDWIN.
