count of the way in which they do things
tout West" a course which every con-
sistent and conscientious individual will
fully endorse. A correspondent writes
as follows to the Journal, Columbus, Kan

of circumstance which occurred in that
place n short time since. 1t appears that
the Presbyterian Church held a festival
in which they resorted to the means
usually employed in such places to raise
money. They reserved a cake for the
last night, which was disposed of by o
regular lottery or gambling operation
which closed tine festival. About thi'
time complaint was made against gamb'
ling saloon in town. The grand jury
found bill against the proprietor. On
conviction the saloon.keeper paid his fine
and then paid his respects to the Presby
terrain gamblers, who he supposed had
complained of him. Every person who
had taken ticket in the cake lottery wa'
arrested and tried for gambling and finet
$40 each and cost. The pastor escaped
trial because he had not received the pro
ceeds of the game This was just right
These church festivals are shame anc

Ben BuTEER on STRIKEs.-In recent
speech at Lynn, Mass, Gen. Butler gave
expression to the following sensible opin.
ion in regard to strikes:
Labor has been called capital, and in
some degree it is true but it is a capital
that cannot be boarded, that will not
keep. lfyou keep your labor for day
1t is lost. 1t cannot be put at interest.
The battle between labor and capital is
therefore an unequal battle. Strikes in
the first place arc beneath the dignity of
the American workman. For this reason {:
They were started in England and other
countries where the workmen have no
power, no voice in the government. Here
the workmcn are intelligent and if they
have grievance they understand it. In
the second place they have for their de-
fence the most powerful weapons ever
given to frcemen, the ballot, by which
they can choose their own rulers and en-.
act their own laws whenever they please.
Strikes are unequal and, as a rule, can
never win. In strike you peril your
all against only the profits of capital.
The capitalist has his capital when he
gets through. He has only lost his pro.
fits. You have lost your capital.
But there should be no occasion for
strikes. All combinations outside the
necessary political combinations for your
self-protection, are wrong. On the other
hand the capitalist has no right to com.
bine against the laborer. There should
be no antagonism. Let the people elect
those who will go to the legislature and
pass laws precisely to remedy their griev.
ances. You can be strong enough and
are strong enough. And now, my friends
let me speak of what | never spoke be
fore, in reply to charge of my being &
large employer of labor for six or eigh
years. In the first place, | owned NJ
more after the war, in proportion, in th'
great manufactures of Lowell than | die

factories. In one l own a majority o

ToBAcco.--The American Education
Society has determined to appropriate no
more money to educate young men for
the ministry who use tobacco, believing
that this habit will be a hindrance to
them in the work of the ministry. This
will save quite sum Of money to the
students and to the churches which con-
tribute funds for this society. Tobacco
is an expensive nuisance. If now the
churches would abolish it, enough would
be saved to carry forward the missionary
enterprises Of the day with more vigor
saying nothing of the piety, health and
decency thereby promoted.
