THE TOPEKA STRIKE.

Marvel having died and Robinson hav-
ing resigned. leaving the Santa Fe sys-
tenn in new and unIried hands, some
three thousand shop men concluded the
opportunity 10 force a claim Of bigger
wages too good to re fooled away. The
strikers undoubtedly have the corpora
ton and its new MANAGEMENT at a disad-
vantage, but if it turns out tina. the
walk-out came not of just demand,
but only of an opportunity, every man
concerned in it will be the loser. As
the great majority OF the men who
struck seem to admit that they person
ally had 10 complaint, the chances are
that the sympathy of the public will be
with the new officers, who probably
were unaware of any wrong, or, if So
were unable IN so short time 10 tell
whether the earnings of the road would
stand an extra expense of several thous-
and dollars per day.

Edwin Burke, a farmer near Chandler,

Edwin Burke, farmer near Chandler,
was found dead last Wednesday morning,
An inquest developed the fact that Burke
went to Chandler the day previous, be-
came intoxicated aud on his return home
that night attempted to cross ravine,
when his wagon overturned falling upon
him.
The following mysterious mention is
from the Cheyenne Sunbeam: \ few nights
since the house of J. ID. Ballard, probate
judge of Washita county, was surrounded
by IA posse who called him out and at the
point of Winchester made him a pris-
oner. He was then marched down to a
saloon in the heart of this frontier metrop-
oils, closely guarded by the same crowd
who had made his arrest. Trial, bail, ben
eft OF clergy, as well as all general and
special relief were denied him till late in
the night, when, after much abuse, as the
story goes, he was released and told to go
home

BY law of Minnesota which imposes
a tax upon the gross earnings OF rail
roads, the state enjoys an income which
amounts to more than $1,000, 900 per
annum and is growing constantly. She
hopeS soon TO have another princely
revenue from the law imposing a tax
OF so much per ton on all ore mined
within the state in lieu of taxes on land
and machinery. The Pioneer Press says
it is reasonable to believe that all the
expenses of the state government will be
met, and that the school fund will be
SO enriched as to lessen or entirely
abolish tie necessity Of levyiag any tax
fer school purposes, from two sources of
re, enue.

WHEN THE Day Is DONE.

w Il fsN 1F Ia il bON6
When life shall reach the summit,
When the day is uPariy done.
As we iinger on the Threshold,
OF that life not yet begun;
Shall we long for earth and loved ones,
Could our hearts SO soon forget,
Could Il heavenly place b. perfect
That would not admit-Iegret?
When once we've crossed the portal.
Doth the rapture there above
Ger balance all the yearring
That would plead for earthly love!
Doth the spirit never iinger,
Where it can see the pain,
Doth it grow so quickly csllous,
That it will not come again?
Is it so supremacy happy,
When it sees he broken heart,
That it eau turn away and fill
Up there al Angels part?
Il seems to me the eye would know
Tue plasL of constant tear,
If down on earth mother'd left
All that earth held dear.
Or are they all unconscious
OF the ties that they have broken;
Have they no wish TO send to earth
A blest and longe.i Tor token?
Perchance they see, nerchance they know
That VII lie their loved ones languish;
The purest pleasures springs from soil,
That plants the deepest anguish.
BETH.

-On the vast dry plains near the Mex

''On the vast dry plains near the Mex
lean border last summer a great many
coyotes went mad because there was no
water to drink In this mad condition
they would bite anybody they found.
Two Mexican boys were sleeping on the
ground in their blankets one night
when a mad coyote attacked and bit
both of them. One Of the boys after
wards died of hydrophobia from the
coyote bite, but the other finally got
well.
There have been several instances
OF people dying down there of hydro
phobia from the bites of the mad coy
otes. Rather more of them have oc-
Cured over the line of Mexico than any
where else. Il was the excessive dry
ness that caused the coyotes to get
crazed. At such times they are danger

The Jetmore Sunhower urges the call

discussing ways and means for protec-

southwestern Kansas-the prairie fire.
Ii any plan can be devised that will &C

be good thing TO do; but so long as
vegetation continues to grow as rank

the best protection, but this is not abso-

The government of the United State:

The government of the United States,
in order TO obtain some uniformity in
geographical names, both as to the
names themselves and their photography,
has perm anent board, made up of rep
resentatives of the government bureaus
| who have much TO do with geographical
names, and TO whom all uncertain ques-
tons are referred Their decision is
final as far as government work is con-
cerned. Their first report directs the
dlscontinuance Of the use of ''city" as a
suitix where the same can be done with
out violence 10 a name: Thus Boise
City becomes plain Boise, Butte City,
plain Butte, Spokane Falls, plain
Spokane. Salt Lake City, plain Salt
Lake, Ogden City, plain Ogden. The
board directs making one word where
two are in common use where it can be
done, az Lagrande, Or, not La Grande;
Lacquiparle, Wis, not Lac Qui Parle;
Sanpete, Utah, not San Pete, etc. Such
words as San Francisco and San Diego
will not be changed.

The reading public are getting very
weary of the daily reports given in the
dispatches Of the situation at Antlers.
IT has been evident for several days that
both sides to the squabble have been
posing, monkeying; that they do not
mean TO fight. and are only maintaining
Lelligerent attitudes TO draw federal
troops to the scene of the trouble to ease
them down eff the high horses they had
mounted. In the interest of future peace
good many people wished that the
Combat,ants might get together and
make good Indians OF the lot.

DEFEAT W. VICTORY.

The Demo-Pop orgaus of Kansas are
all busy just now explaining why and
how it wasn't Republican victory. As
no fusion mayor III Kansas up TO date
las claimed his commission or taken the
oath Of office, it is safe to presume that
it was not at least Demo-Pop triumph,
therefore not Republican defeat. The
Republicans who were all elected say it
feels TO them just like a Republican VIC
tory, which being .he case why not let
it pass as such. However, that the Re-
publicans just everlastingly wiped up
the earth with fusion in all the towns
and cities of the state is not de II led.
These organs only deny that it was a
Republican victory. IS Demo-POp
fusionists got nothing else out of the
election it might not do any hurt to con-
cede to these papers the privilege of
lying out of it. ''Sim;lia similibus
curanter," as the little pill doctors say.
or, the hair of the dog being good for
his bite. and fusion being a lie on its
face. let them enjoy all the sweet to be
found in the thin ooze Of such denial

The Editors Duty.

The business of an editor is to build up
his town and his state, stand by his
party, do the hard work of the campaigns
free, elevate all chumps who want offices
of profit and honor, puff small fellows
into notoriety, and have the good sense
never to run for Office. The editor ought

ing of water cheerfuli!, at his own
expense, and look to THAT bourne from
whence no traveller returns for his
reward.
