Pleasure is a Duty.

From Youth by Charles Wagner.
There are three classes of individuals
who dlsapprOve of pleasure. There are,
doubtless, more than three, but to emu
merate them all, would be to do them
too much honor. 1t would be as dreary
as succession of rainy days. Three
will sufice-utilitarians ascetics, pes
simiSts.
The first prescribe pleasure because
it IS useless, and, according to them,
makes US lose time without any equiv
alent. Their reason is final, as you see.
The second candemn it because it IS
dangerous, in their eyes, and jeopar.
dies their salvation. There has existed.
from time immemorial, whispered
conception of religion wherein somber
hues predominant. God Himself is
JOyiess; and man must sacrifice to
this gloomy majesty enthroned in the
midst OF eternal silence, his joy and his
poor fleeting smile, lest we should Of
fend Him who never smiles.
Pesslmists finally deny pleasure be-
cause it deranges their system. 1t is
always so. In Philosophy when any
thing embarrasses you, or does not
frame in with your little theory, it
must be suppressed.
The origin of amusements is to be
sought in very real and very legiti-
mate need, the need of diversion. Rest
alone, is not enough. Ithardly satisfies
the brute. We are so constituted that
the continued repetition of impressions,
even though they are agreeable, ener-
Yates and wearies us. How must 1t be
then with those severe tasks, those alb
sorbing occupations which use up, in
time, the most robust strength
Pleasure is a necessity and even
duty, diversion sustains and renews us,
notwithstanding It's detractors, and it iss
worthy of our serious attention. We
have to deal here, not with a secondary
and unimportant phenomenon, but
with one of the most active factors in
life. The question of the employment
Of our leisure and of the nature of our
pleasure, is vital one. The means of
distraction, indeed, are infinitely varied,
and while some are salutary, others are
pernIciouS. To a certain extent, the
outcome of mans entire activity de-
ponds on how he employs his leisure.
wholesome amusements make him bet
ter and strengthen him; unwholesome
amusements ruin the individual, and
become an agent in the dissolution of
society.
1t is not enough TO know how to
work, we must know how to amuse
ourselves.

TOPEKA. June Ex-senator John
Martin has received several pressing
kilograms from New York papers re-
latiye to his views on the repeal of the
Sherman act. Among them was the
following inquiry:

1t is amusing to see how some popu-
lists who were, not long since, ready to
spew up the name democrat as well as
republican in frantic hatred, are now
ready to jump all over our bones be-
cause word is said against fusion.
We would like for such populists (?) to
explain when they became democrats.
You say the democrats did us a favor
In the last campaign. True they did,
but why? Chiefly to take the state out
OF the republican column, and turn the
federal patronage into their hands, for
a while. We say chiefly, but not who'll
~. We do not wish to do them any in
justice. From what we have seen of
the John Martin democrats, we have
no doubt but they are more liberal
set than the eastern democrats. There
are many among them who are saving
to-day that the congress they have
elected, must prove itself worthy of it's
charge, or they will support the ticket
no more, When this liberal wing of
the democrat party assumes control,
when the western democrat says, free
silver, enlarged circulation, income tax,
low tariff, direct issue and anti-gold
monopoly, these we must and will
have, if we have to break the party
shackles," then he is a man whom we
can endorse for the purpose of victory.
But the Grover Cleveland democrat,
the gold bug democrat, the eastern
democrat, the democrat who hasn't
backbone to say nay to the evil dom
ination of money-lords and Wall street
policy in his party; the democrat, in
short, who controls the party national
iy to-day, or endorses its policy, is not
democrat wnom any populist can sup
port for any other purpose than Office
To join hands with such a democrat is
to join hands with vital enemy to our
principles for mercenary purposes only.
If the democrats of the west have the
liberal opinions we trust they have, let
them be men, and show it in their plat
forms, show it IN thei1 endorsements,
show it in their nominations. Then
we can talk about combining strength
with them without lodging around the
corners to do 1t. Then all can be open
and aboveboard. something to which
no man who does not worship name
more than principle, can take the slight
est exception; and the opportunity for
clidues, rings, and personal combines,
will be shut off.
The only apology we have to make for
candidly expressing ourselves, is that
our opinions have received the endorse
ment of set of political acrobats who
have been guilty of calling themselves
democrats while working with might
and main to assist q political enemy
whom they pretend to have fought on
principle for the last thirty years. Its
not for such crowd to howl about fus-
ion when they have done worse than
fuse, when they have become the tools
OF those they pretend to hate. When
it comes tOa question of consistency,
they are not in it, and moGesty, if they
knew what it was, would keep them
quiet.

An Indians Devotion to His Child.

The anxiety of an Indian father for
the welfare OF his offspring, was exem-
plified in the effort made by Ute, of
Arizona, to relieve his sick child.
An Indian school had been establish
ed near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Three brothers in family of Ute Indi-
ans, living in Arizona, were selected
and sent to this school to be educated.
Two of these fell sick and soon died.
Their bodies were inferred in the ceme-
terry near the school grounds. The sad
news reached the parents, hut they
could not fully understand what the
white people were doing with their
children. They imagined that some
torture had caused their death.
In little while the third child be-
came sick, and the news was conveyed
to the distressed parents The father
Immediately set out on foot to find his
way as best he might, to the bedside of
his only remaining child.
He knew nothing of the geograpy of
the country, nor the location of the
school. Not being familiar with any
other than his native tongue, he could
not make himself understood, and to
any modern means of travel or living,
he was stranger. He carried in q
sack, a little black coffee and some corn
meal, on which he subslsted. He car
ried an old blanket rolled up into
bundle, IN which was secreted sealed
letter that someone had written for
him before starting on his journey, ex-
planning his mission.
His moccasins gave out, and he was
compelled to travel barefooted, over
sands, rocks, and cactus, until his feet
were bleeding.
In this condition, he was seen at
way station in New Mexeco, by con-
ductor on the A. T. & S. F. railroad,
who noticed his great distress. The
only words he could think Of, were
''meche chi-chi." Then holding up
three fingers, he would break down two,
and close his eyes, thus signifying that
two children were dead, then patting
on his breast and pointing to the other
finger, slgnlfied that he wanted to 60 to
his sick child.
On examining his bundle the letter
was found, stating the object of the
journey to be the relief of his sick
child from death, which he believed the
white people were imposing.
His mute pleadings and apparent
agony would stir the heart of an enemy
to pity. BY signs he was told that he
had missed his way, and must 60 back.
The conductor put him in charge of the
engineer and fireman of passing train.
with instructions to carry him back to
Albuquerque, and show him the school
buildings. When shown a place to
ride on the engine, his fears and dis
trust Overcame him, and he refused to
get into the cab. 1t was only after the
conductor had been sent for, and by
signs, assured him that it was all right,
that he could be induced to ride. He
exhibited great fear, but resigned, and
was safely carried to his destination.

Our secretary of agriculture is rejoic-

Europe will buy it and send back some
gold. The gold is coming, therefore
farmers should rejoice that their wheat,
their labor is low, their lives are cheap,
their comforts few, their Indebtedness

chunk of yellow metal. The Bible re-
cords that Moses ground up the golden
calf and sprinkled its powder in the
