ANOTHER SrRIkE.

A Philadelphia correspondent ofthe New
York Graphic gives the public notice that
there is likely 10 be another railroad strike,
more formidable and better organized than
the strike OF July. There is TO be meet
ing Of the engineers, in Boston, and if
general strike is then ordered il will be bet
ter managed than the last one. The engi-
neer's have the advantage Of a thorough
organization, and they have cOnfided the
management of their affairs TO the hands OF
one man. and are therefore, likely TO secure
that unity of action which is so necessary in
all business enterprises. The new strike
will occur, ii at all, just before the meeting
of Congress, and will thus precipitate the
railroad question upon Congress and force
its recognition. If it has the effect Of max
ing Congress take some decisive action in
the matter it will result in good, for, as the
Graphic truly SAYS, eve cannot afford to
have war on our transportation lines.
Peacably or forcibly our railway system
must keep right on without any Interrupt
ton caused by the managers OF the roads or
their employees"

GOOD TIMES COMING.

There seems to lie no longer any doubt
that We are now on the eve Of better times.
Everything indicates it, and the eastern
cities already report a decided Improvement
in trade IL is safe to conclude that the
worst is past, and henccforth business will
steadily improve. Al that seems to be
needed row to place the country on the
high road to prosperity Is an act Of Con
gress restoring silver to its rightful posi-
ton. In an editorial in regard To the i'm
provement in business, the New York Times
OF the 9TH inst, says:
The testimony in regard 10 the improve
rnent which is taking place ia various depart
ments of trade l. too widely di1iused and too
conclusive TO be disputed. Mich Of it is at

suits of actual observation. We have got be-
yond the formula which long served 10 checl.

fence of other places.

KANSAS MANUFACTsxES.

The manufacturing interests Of Leaven-
worth are beginning to attract attention in
all portions of the west, and Leavenworth-
made goods may now be found on sale in
nearly every western town. \ few OF our
prominent manufacturing establishments
are thus referred to by Il correspondent of
the Garnett Faiadealer, who has been max
ing two-months' tour through the western
States:
Everywhere We see carloads of the well
built Kansas wagons, made at Leavenworth.
Also, i'm every town, the splendid stoves made
by the Leavenworth Stove Company, and the
fine engines and mill machinery made by the
Leavenworth Manufacturing Company; and
also piles of furniture made by Alternately
Bros. and Robert Keith & Company, and three
ply carpets made by the Kansas Carpet Com
pany, Leavenworth. We were no. ashamed,
this time, TO say we We're from Kansas; and
We only want 10 hold perseveringly on, to be
sure OF material, educational and mora

FOR NHElslFE.

Among the names mentiond in connection
with the Office OF Sheriff, to be filed by the
voters of Leavenworth county this fall, Is
that OF L. q. Lowe-one Of the best men in
the county-one who has been faithful to
every trust heretofore reposed in him. No
man deserves or commands more fully the
goodwill, respect and confidence OF the peo-
pie Of this city and county, with whom his
long business career has brought him III
close contact His thorough competency
and integrity are well known to all classes.
Should the Democratic party show wisdom
enough to give Mr.. Lowe the nomination,
the Republicans will have TO look well 10
their nominee; or should the people de
termine TO have no party conventions, We do
not know of any man in the county who will
be able to make a stronger run

SITTING: BULL - A COLLEGE
GRADUATE!

A correspondent OF the New York Word
writing from Fort ..Walch, in the North
west British Territory, where Sitting Bull
now is, conveys the rather astonishing in
formation that the willy Sioux ChIeitain who
has given our government so much trouble,
is no untutored son OF the forest, but a
graduate OF st. Johns College, at Fort
Garry, is half-breed Ojibway, and that
his real name is Charles Jacobs. The cor
respondent says he speaks English and
French huently, as well as several Indian
languages, and keeps himself thoroughly
posted as TO what is going in the world.
He is about forty-two or forty-three years
OF age, medium sized, athletic man, is an
excellent conversationalist, and will talk on
every subject but his plans for the future.

SILVER.

That silver will be remonetized by the
next congress seems to be now a foregone
conclusion. Referring to thi. fact, the St.
Louis Times SAYS:
All the plots and wiies of the Plutocracy to
transmute silver into a base metal will prove
abortive. The silver dollar will pe restored to
its pristine rank. The vigorous common
sense of the people proves 10 be more than a
match for the cunning OF the bondholders
and the labored mystification of the diction-
aries Public opinion, irrespective of parties
and through the organism of parties also, is
loudly declaring Tor the remonetixaiion of
silver. The most significant declaration vet
made is that OF the Pennsylvania Republican
Convention, because 1t shows the movement
is not confined to one party or TO one ser;ion
of the country. 1t can no longer be stigma
tised as a Western craze or a Democratic re-
pudiation scheme.

WHO Is THE .wORklNG MAN y,

Down in Lowell, Massachusetts,, the work
ingmen have passed resolutions declaring
that they will vote for no candidate of any
party unless he is workingman, and the
New York Pas by way of comment saws,
Now let them tell what sort of a man they
consider workingman." This is ques-
tion that great many people have ask
ed in the same connection. 1t is sug-
gested by the well-known fact that the prom
inent actors in "workingmen's" parties
are frequently chronic loafers while
whole classes of the hardest
workingmen in every community, such as
doctors, editors and clerks, are ruled out as
'ineligible" If by "Workingman's
Party" is meant a party TO be composed of
all men who work, there is no necessity for
such an organization, because the working
people already have a majority of ten to
one in both the present parties but II it is to
be composed only Of those who work at eer-
tain particular trades, the different inelizi-
bic occupations should be specified. The
printers Uaion" and the Engineers
Brotherhood" are consistent organizations
because their names indicate what kind of
work,ngmen compose them, and

An EXTRA Session.

ten. Babcock, of Lawrence, proposes an
extra session Of the Legislature, for the
purpose of passing a law to regulate
ireights and fares on misunderstanding
especially to the recent pooling arrange
ment entered into between the Kansas Pa
Lawrence people think their town is I'M
fairly treated. The Parsons Sun has an
editorial in opposition TO the Generals
proposition, and thinks it would be well
for the state administration to make some
move toward enforcing the law requiring
the roads to keep their general offices in
Kansas, before We cumber the statute
book with any more railroad laws, saws the
San:
We should like 10 see a little law against the
railroads enforced before the statute books are
further encountered. There is "a law requiring
the railroads TO keep their general Offices in
the state. Less attention is paid to il by the
railroads than last years sitting hen would
Ia a brood of ducks in the water. The Attor-
ney General of the State has been instructed
to ring suit against the roads falling to COM
ply with this law. That ornamental depart
ment OF the State Government pays less at
tention to the order of the Legislature than
the sitting hen afor said.
That's well said, and to the point. Now
since the editor of the Sun is a confidential
friend as well as great admirer of the
head Of the present state administration,
who has sworn to see the laws Of the state
inforced, probably the SUI might ascertain,
for the beneht of the public, why it is that
this brilliant administration, Of which so
much was promised, makes not the slightest
effort to enforce the law for compelling these
great corporations to respect the rights of
the people.
The enforcementof the law requiring the
roads to keep their Offices in the state, is
more important than the enforcement
OF law to regulate freights, tor
in the latter case the people
have a chance TO protect themselves, to
some exteut, but in the latter they are per-
foctly helpless. II the Governor thinks the
railroad wants to charge him too much for
carrying his cheese to market, he can hitch
up old GARDENERS horse and haul it totown
himself; bat when the law in regard to their
offices is disregarded by the roads, there is
nothing for the farmer TO do but 10 grin and

DROUrH AND FAMINE.

The famine occasioned by drought in the
Chinese province of Shantung and in the
peninsula of Corea is as severe if not as ex-
tended as that in Hindostan, and in Corea,
at least, 4 pestilence has been raging. In
the countries above mentioned, as well, as
in India, the frequent recurrence OF drought
is attributed 10 the destruction OF the for
ests. In some districts Of India the re-
planting of trees has been followed by an
increase OF moisture These fearful ex-
perienees of Asia should be a warning to
our own country, and stimulate the preser-

Terrible Death.


Alexander Wykert, young man twenty
three years OF age. son OF Nicholas Wykert
OF Burr Oak Township, came to his death
manner-rhat Is, from all the signs and
surroundings it was very evident that the
following are the circumstances, Is no per-
son witnessed the affair:
The young man was blowing in the field
near the house, and Went To the house To
get drink Of water, leaving his team IN
the field His mother told him it was noon,
and dinner was ready. lie returned 10 the
field, to attend TO his team. and presently
one Of the horses came in at full speed, with
harness on. An investigation discovered
young Wykert hanging across Stake-anG-
riGei fierce. dead. His clothing was almost
entirely torn off his person, one boot was
off, the back OF his skull was crushed one
arm broken in two places, and his side bad
ly injured. A path was broken through
the weeds, where the horse had plunged
with him. 1t was apparent that he had
gone to the field, unhitched his team, fast
ened the lines to the names Of one, aad I'M
dertook to mount it. The horse had be-
come frightened, and in the struggle, the
lines had come loose, and caught in a loop
around one of his feet. The horse had
wildly broke for home, dragging the young
man after it, kicking h'm at every jump
a. the path did not lead over any rough
place, When the horse leaped the fence,
the boot came off the victims FOO, releasing
him and leaving him hanging across the
fence The boot was found near by with
marks of the lines around it.

The Maple Worm.

The maple worm, Tor the second time this
season, il again making his appearance on
our shade trees. II those having maple
trees in front OF their houses will examine
them carefully and frequently, and destroy
the young worms that have already made
their appearance and are about To do, they
can save their trees from denudaiion by this
ugly pest. As most OF the eggs that pro-
duce these worms are deposited in clusters
on the leaves OF the lower branches OF the
trees, they are therefore easily destroyed.
1t is better to spend little time in destroy
ing these worms than to have the trees
stripped OF their foliage. and then be an

4 solution Of she Labor Question.
detroit Tribune.l

While 10000 men have been on strike
against wages averaging 81 a day, declaring
that they cannot live on that pay, and at
least 10000 have been ready to take their
places at the same rates. the farmers Of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan-all the west
have been offering from Sl.25 to $l.5O
day for help, and the demand has been
greater than the supply. Moreover, $l.25
in the country is worth $3.50 in the city.
1t is true that this demand has been for the
harvest, and the rates are exceptional. But
the fact remains that in the< rich farm lands
of the Middle States it il almost impossible
to secure the services by the year, of
steady laborer and his family at the wages
paid in cities, although house rent is free
and provisions are One-third Of town rates.
