was 70. During the past two years
owing To paralysis, he has been unable
to conduct experiments In his labors'

rapidly and remained 10 comatose

and was absolutely without pain. The

In the eyes Of the world, M. Pas
tours greatest work has been the dis
covery Of cure for hydrophobia. The
borror Of rabies had come down unin.
terruptcd from tho dark ages The
only remedy which was even tried
was relic Of barbarism. People rang
Q brass bell In the presence Of sufferers
from rabies and believed that 1t quoted
them. N. Pasteur first studied, out It's
cause, learned the nature Of the venom
In the dog, whose bite caused It, Then
he found his means Of attenuating-of
thinning-the venom, until II could be
given TO an animal without killing it
He gradually increased these doses
until tho animal had become so Injured
10 the venom that he could stand
dose SO large that 1t would at FIRST have
bean fatal 10 him. Thus he was pro.
tsrted against rabies His first experi-
msnts were made on guinea pigs,rabbits
and dogs. He hesitated long before
dsciding TO try 1t on human being
srd then had q hard time getting
subject. But finally he found one, q
shepherd boy. The experiment was
Successful and to-day the whole world
knows Of the cure. 1t was In 1880 that
he began tho study Of ra 1ies and since
then his treatment has been given to
more than 10000 people. The NOR
tally among this number has been
about per cent, the percentage de-
creasing each year In 1892 the NOR
tally was 0.29 per cent which shows
to what fine degree the death rate
has been diminished.

creditor classes; but unfortunately
we have the debtor classes in Kansas
and to them the "grsy dawn" which
is to usher in an era of more extern
slVe and expeditions mortgage fore
closures may not appear such a very
desirable gray dawn after all. "Our
Eastern friends" however, If they
could get the present legislature to
carry out Governor Morrilps recon-
mendstions to repeal the laws of
1893 regulating the sale and re-
demption of real estate under execu-
tion, etc., might be perfectly radient
in the reflection of that gray dawn.
Capital, which the governor assures
us is so "proverbislly timid," might
take courage and come out into the
light of the glorious day in which
Kansas mortgages could be fore
closed IN less than eleven months and
nineteen days. Then what return
ing, thrice welcome" boom Of pros
perity we Ksnsans would enjoy to be
sure.
Unfortunately for the redeemers,
however, Kansas has not quite torn
from her neck the mill stone of Pop
ulism." A Populist senate still
stands in the way of the repeal of the
obnoxious laws and the enactment Of
others, as Governor Morrill, recon-
mends to facilitate and simplify fore
closure proceedings. The debtor
classes Of Kansas may be thankful
still for this remaining fragment of
the mlllstone.

FINANCIERING.

The New York Daily News, speak
ing editorially of the Brooklyn strike,
says:
Probably the worst exhibition Of arro-
ganoe on the part of corporate monopoly
that this section Of the country has ever
seen is given just now by the managers Of
the Brooklyn city trolly roads. It's en-
ployes are confessedly working for starVa-
ton wages, but when they ask for a chance
TO make a few cents more they are cold
"this company will not increase its ex-
penses by one dollar, because it can't afford
to-" while the same man within an hour as
sur es his intimsteS that I'VE are prepared
20 spend half a million Of dollars TO win
this hght."
This is fnanciering.

CHARACTERISTIC SYMPATHY.

The Capital, of January "a, in q
labored editorial relating to the
Brooklyn strike, takes occasion to OBJ
serve:
What the differences were between these
men or their union and their employers, is
of little public importance compared with
the later conditions of the trouble.
This is q perfectly characteristic
statement. The grievances of labor
ing men are never of any Conse-
quencs to the Capital in any diff
Guilty OF this kind. The vested rights
of capital and the arrogant claims Of
corporations alone command its sym.
psthy. With General Avery the Capt.
tai lsments the fact that the Brooklyn
police fail to suppress the strikers
Probably the Capital also symps-
thizes with General Avery in admir-
alton of the police of New York.
The general says 'the police of New
York may be thieves and blsckmsil
ers, but they are not towards. AS
for myself, I prefer thieves and
blackmsilers to coWsrds-" Thieves
and blsckmsilers who would use
their clubs upon strikers would nat
urslly be preferred by the Capital to
decent men who would not.
1t appears from more reliable
sources than the Capital that the rea-
son why the police of Brooklyn and
even the militia that has been sent to
the scene, are doing SO little to pro-
tect the railroad companies in their
arbitrary proceedings, Is because the
pc ople of the city are almost unsni-
mously in sympathy with the strikers
The New York Morning Advertiser
of January Is, says,
A large meeting of Brooklyn citizens who
sympathizs with the strikers was held last
night in the Athenseum, Atlantic avenue
and Clinton street, TO protest against the

The same issue of the Advertiser
also furnishes another fact that fails
to find a place in the Capital or in
any of the associated press dis
patches 1t is this:
Four Of the men brought from Philadel-
phiR called as a delegation at police head
quarters last eve hing and said that they had
been hired through PinkertOn's Detective
agency, with the understanding that they
are to receive $3.50 a day for ten hours
work.
These Pinkerton thugs and hired
asssssins ars always at the service Of
arrogant corporations. They consti-
tut9 3 private army under the COM
msnd of neither state or national su-
thority, but always at the service Of
capital in it's every contest with labor.
Do the people of this country see no
danger from a force of this charac-
ter?
It is to the interest of these cor
porate employers of labor that there
shall always be an army of idle men
in the country upon the very verge
of starvation who may be relied upon
to take the places of strikers in all
difficulties of this kind. Without
such an idle force, no corporation
could hope to succeed against any
labor strike. A strike occurring with
no such force in reserve would SIM
ply mean a recognition of the rights
of labor, or q stoppsge OF business,
and hence the employers of labor en-
courage the conditions that produce
idleness as means of seonrity to
their own arbitrary designs. Does
the reader see no danger in the con-
tinusnce of such conditions?
The demand of the Brooklyn strik-
ers Is simply for a ten hour day,
whereas they have been required to
work from fourteen to sixteen hours.
The company deny this demand to
their old employees, but hire new
men through the Pinkerton pumps,
agreeing to pay them $3.50 for ten
hours work. How long after this
difficulty is settled would they ad-
here to this agreements Starving
men are ready to take the places of
the strikers now upon the terms
offered, but as soon as quiet is re-
stored, these men will be subjected to
the same conditions against which
the old employees have gone out. The
men themselves must realize this,
