Duryea, the millionaire starch manu-.
f%acturer, who died recently at Glencove,
L. l., has a brother living in Chicago.
This brother is 60 years of age, and he is
in the Cook county hospital. He went
there seven years ago, and for ten months
was treated for a rupture. During that
time he became such a favorite and was
50 useful in small ways that he was
placed upon the pay roll at a salary OF
$40 per month and given light work
about the place. Meantime his wealthy
brother was spending his thousands Law,
ishly. He bought two yachts and hired
captains for them at So 900 per year
salary each and he went on long and ex-
pensive cruises. He never thought OF
his poor old brother in the Cook county
hospital.-Chicago Herald.

The origin Of this day of practical
jokes SEEM a trihe obscure. BY some
the custom has been traced to the scene
in the life of Jesus when he was sent
from PLATE to Herod, then back from
Herod to Plate, which occurred at this
time. Away back nearly a hundred
years in the Claws C~alendaria, mention
is made Of the first Of April as GAN
Fools Day and Scotland's poetry and
song is replete with anecdotes and jokes
perpetrated on this day, and among the
Hindoos a day of fooleries, the full
Fest, is also observed. Among the Hin
docs all kinds Of jokes and like silly spe-
cies of witticisms are saved for this day.

The Rev. Stephen Colyer, of Mt. Yer,
non, had a dream some weeks since in
which he saw two men commit murder
nea his home. He was so impressed
with the vision that he related it to his
family and friends.
A few days afterward the reverend
gentleman was visiting in the neighbor,
ing county of Laurel. In taking n walk
he approached a hill which seemed famil,
lar. On reaching the brow he was hor,
riied to find the body of a dead man,
whom he at once recognized as the one
seen in his dream. The mar was tall,
with a gray mustache and hair, and was
well dressed. Not a paper was found
about his clothing. Five dollars in silver
was all he had in his pockets. There is
no clue as to his identity. The scene
where the corpse was found is the one
seen in the preachers dream.-Memphis

THE STRIKES.

The dispatches are now daily burthen-
ed with the acts and doings and resolves
and purposes of the various labor organ
izations of the country. but mainly of
the large cities and industrial centers of
the country. The question that first sug-
gests itself in considering the subject in
a general way is, why are strikes more
frequent in the years Of financial depres-
sion than at other times?
From 1881 TO 1884 we had financial in
flation and good times, with very few
strikes. The strikers evidently do not
take into consideration the ability of
their employers. or of the business they
are engaged IN. TO pay good wages. They
do not seem To study the cause or care
anything about why business pays better
at times than at other times They de
mald Just as good pay when all kinds OF
business Is dead as when all kinds of bus

based on good common sense. void of
reason. Labor should be as much. or
more. interested in abolishing the causes
Of business depresSions than any other
class of people. There is a cause. a hui

10 remove that cause. Labor should

al other interests when these
denressi0us occur. but organized

strike results. There Is 10 good reason
why business should become depressed
except a failure of crops. and while the
earth produces beautifully all kinds of
. business Will go ON evenly if not inter
Tered with by some system OF robbery.
Then the enemy OF labor Is not the en-
ployer, for the employer Of labor suffers
greater loss than the emrlyed. but IT Il a

REsuRM1ssroN N BARTON.

Barton county is set down as very
strong anti-Resubmission county and the
committee on organization were invited
to keep out. But yesterday a petition
was received from the town and town
ship of Ellinwood, enrolling ninety per
cent of all the Republicans there in a
Resubmission club, a large majority of
whom are farmers, every man setting
down opposite his name his business.
Accompanying the petition was letter
from the secretary of the club who says
that ninety per cent of the Republicans
there signed the roll. He says that the
club has resolved that the Republican
party must act and promptly, notifying
its leaders that there is another party to
which the Ellinwood club will show no
hesitancy in appealing in case it becomes
necessary to obtain another chance to be
heard on the question Of prohibition.

The official lists of the war department
showing that the number of deaths on
the Union side in battle, and from
wounds or disease, numbered 364, 1f6 up
to July 1, 1865, and that up to that date
%. 2S4 Of those discharged during the
war had died, making total of $50, 400,
as the casualty list to the close of the
war, are familiar to the country. It is
estimated that about 1,250.0 Union
veterans survive. According to the ac-
cepted American life tables more than
one-third of the survivors of the war
have, by their service in the field short
ened their expectation of life by at least
twelve years. General Raum's calcutta

HOW ABOUT WICHITA2

Well, how about Wichita, Kansas: An
authority on her condition says no fluc-
tuations could be noticed if you kept
your finger on her pulse for a week
Steady and regular with indications for
a still stronger circulation. Too little
money IS in active use just at present,
and merchants are hard up because of
time credits. But there is more money
in circulation, more passing through her
banks, larger bank clearances, more re-
tail and wholesale business, more ship
ments in and out, and more life and stir
on the streets than any city in Kansas.
Because she Is now, and will always be
the commercial and manufacturing CEN
ter of the state, envious arrows are fred
at her. Our beloved correspondent is a
man Of veracity, and as might naturally
be supposed, comes squarely from Wich-
tia. That he is properly enthused may
be known when he says that a sponge as
big as the sun and an Atlantic ocean Of

SOUND AS a DOLLAR.

From the Topeka Journal.
Congressman Peters. of Kansas. yester-
day called attention to the absUrdity of
our citizens wasting their substance in
building vast navy Of pOndrous iron
battle ships, all likely to prove worthless
in few years, as many Of the British
ships have proven. Mr.. Peters says there
will be no more naval wars. No coun-
try, he says. viii attack the United
States. This IS the age of diplomacy.
Mr.. Peters remarks are eminently sensi-
bic. The Uuited States can better afford
to spend millions on the arts Of peace: on
irrigation. agriculture, engineering, ed
ucation, etc, than on building steel ships
to fight imaginary foes-and to give fat
contracts to the steel manufacturers.

THE NEGRO AND THE HOG.

Many little episodes have occurred,
and to many humiliating genuflectiOns
have the Republican party been subject
ed in the name of the cOlored brother and
his political interests, but the last de
mand made in the name of that race
swamps the bake shop and all its con-
tents. The southern negro now stands
up before congress and tells the people of
the country that if the Republican party
loves the negro he must eat his cotton
seed oil, not as cotton seed oil. but must
eat it as genuine refined hogs lard. You
fellows says a delegation of negroes
from Georgia and Arkansas. Swallow
our cotton seed oil and compel the rest
of the world to do 50 also, or we won't
swallow the Republican party any lon
ger" And they call this kind OF a de-
mand Republican protection" Its the
protection Of a fraud mixed with an IN
is as good as pure hogs lard, why steal
the name of the latter with which to la
bel the former? Why not let the stuff
sail under its own name? 1t is vile
counterfeit, and any attempt of congress
to render it genuine by enactment is not
only a theft on the American farmer but
an outrage on the people of the whole
country, the threats, demands and plead
ings of the Georgia and Arkansas ne
groes to the contrary notwithstanding.

is another mistake that labor does not
concentrate its efforts against the ma
chinery of the money power that is its
real enemy and depressor Of all IN
dustries, trades and business.
Let the whole land turn its guns onto
the Rothschild power whose headquar-
teers are ON Lombard street London,
and Wall street, New York, and the
cancer that has caused all the troubles
between labor and employers will soon
be dug out by the roots.

Wichita is the town from which the raw
ages Of the principal anti-prohibiciOn crank
IN Kansas sends out many a doleful story
about the awful effects of prohibition-but
nine-tenths Of the people Of Kansas are
solid against the re-establishmenU Of
saloons in the state.-Denver Press.
Wichita nor any other Kansas city or
town wants more saloons established or
re-established-there are enough already
as everybody knows. But what Wichita
and resubmissionists throughout the state
do want is a chance to say whether the
saloons shall remain in ambush or be
brought out and made comeatable to the
law and its officers, and made TO bear at
least a part of the burdens they impose.
And don't fool yourself by entertaining
the notion pumped into you by the ants
that any such proportion of the people of
this state as given above are opposed to
the simple proposition of saying whether
it shall be as we have stated. The fig
ures come nearer fitting the other side of
the question.
