A Characteristic Fraud.

Ex-President Hayes was yesterday paid 9
sum of less than four thousand dollars which
the government has owed him for eight
years.-Philad'a. Erening Bulletin.
What dismal, dreary rot this is ? The
government owed Hayes nothing. He sent
some commissioners of his own personal
selection down South TO give respectable
sanction to the bargain by which he
secured his seat and the Southern Demo-
Gratis got control of their state govern
ments. 1t was an expenditure not war
ranted by any law nor by any consideration
of public policy and nobody but fel-
low of Hayes meanness and narrow gauge
would have asked it TO be repaid.
But the Senate, in its all-embraeing charity
with the public money, insisted on repaymg
this item of his political expenses; and the

THE question of making Good Friday a
legal holiday is having its annual turn in the
New York Legislature. Curiously enough,
much of the pressure for it comes from
business exchanges, which represent that
inasmuch as the day is religiously observed
by a nlajority of the members Of these in
stitutions, their absence is more serious in
reference with business than would be the
case If business were totally suspended.
Some of the churchmen, on the other hand,
deplore the whole movement on the ground
that the proposition tends to make sacred
things common and unclean, and the obser-
ance of Good Friday "should come only from
the heart. Its theme, its thought, is too
solemn 10 be east before those who have no

ANaLo-RUssIAN SPECULATION,

While it seems, from the reports, al
most impossible that the trouble between
England and Russia can be settled with
out war, yet there is well-grounded
impression with close thinkers that the
whole scare was artificial, and even on
the part of the government officials
mere stock-jobbing movement.
Whether or no, however, it was design
edly 80. for personal speculative pur-
poses or whether these men are simple
puppets in the hands Of the money
spectators of Europe is immaterial.
The actual truth remains always the
same that is, that if no war occurs when
threatened it is as rule scheme to
bleed the people for the benefit of the
"fnanciers )" ifthe war occurs it is either
merely to settle some commercial quarrel
between the bourgeoisie, or Is for the
sole purpose of distracting the attention
of the workers from the real point at
issue. AS Mr.. Hyndman in a late issue
of London Justice splendidly puts it
under the caption of Foreign War or
Domestic Revolution"
Precisely the same game was played at the
end Of the last century. Then too. England
was awakened by vigorous agitation, then

was raised and the cause of social progress
was set back even unto our own day. do not
champion Russian tyranny; have said that
l would resolutely oppose it. But do adjure
the working men Of England, who now suffer
| under the bitterest economical slavery, not
to be led astray by the contemplate bowling
of the liberal-capitalist newspapers. They are
commercial organs every one. So are the
overpaid ministers who should be the serv-
ants Of the people Lord Granville is a great
landlord and mine owner. He fears domestic
revolution more than foreign war. Lord Kim
berly is a great landowner. He fears domes
tic revolution more than foreign war. Lord
Derby, and Lord Spencer, and Lord Harring-
ton, are all large landowners. They fear do
mestic revolution more than foreign war.
So with the rest Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain
is great capitalist. He, too, with all his
sham [exhortations to. the people, fears
domestic revolution more than foreign
war. Look down thelist Of the whole
sixteen incapables who have landed US in our
present situation; and say which Of them does
not fear domestic revolution more than
foreign war. That is why, fellow citizens, the
cry for war has arisen. They want you to
march off as food for powder in Africa and
Asia, seeing that you are no longer useful to
make profits for them at home Will you
once more be gulled and butchered as your
fathers were before you in order that tories,

DROLL FACTS.

The Chicago Times reviews a new
book in which the a1thor proves by
solid facts" that the reward to labor has
been steadily increasing for years, and
the cost of living has st the same time
been enormously decreased. The "facts,
as stated by the author of the book are
as follows: >T
1.-THE facts are what we should have
expected from the conditions of pro-
duction in recent years. Inventions
have been multiplied, and production
having been increasingly efficient, while
capital has been accumulated rapidly.
It is the wage-receivers who must have
the benefit. The competitor of capital
keeps profits down tc the lowest point,
and workmen consequently get for
themselves nearly the whole product of
the aggregate industry of the country.

The reviewer then adds the following
drollery:
"Now, here is something which is not

born of any form of passion or resent

all argument, hard fact, and fact which

DRUNK ON BLOOD.

Mr.. James Duff, the manager of the
Colorado Mortgage and Investment COM
panY, which is better known as the Eng
lish company, entertained the members
of the Colorado general assembly and a
number of prominent citizens with a
sumptuous dinner at the Windsor hotel
last evening. Mr.. Duff gave the dinner
as compliment from England to Amer
lea, and token of the friendly regard
with which English capital and British
industry looks upon American institu-
tions. There were about one hundred
persons who sat down to table. The
vintage of champagne flowed long, stead
lily, and profusely, and the toasts and
speeches were of very agreeable and
happy character. The party lasted some
five hours, and was one of the most thor
oughly enjoyable banquets ever gwen in
Denver, Mr.. Duff being a most genial
and entertaining host.-News.
"a token of the friendly regard with
which British capital looks upon Amerl-
can institutions" Well, l should say so.
The friendship with which British capl-
tai looks upon American institutions is
that of a shylock.
British capitalists love American in
stitutions for what can be squeezed out
of them, and there is no better e1-

The gentleman mentioned in the reso-
