Ta'HST0TS LOVE FOR THE LABORNG MAN.

t5at this petition only asks for the re-
duetiOn OF the employees CT the road?"
THAT IS al. your honor"
4, does not ask for any reduction IN
the salaries Of the receivers or the attor-
CeyS?"
Oh. no, your honor"
Why nOt2"
Mr.. ThursIOn was somewhat abashed
al the tone O2 the courts inquiry, but
he murmured something abcut the salar-
les OF the receivers being q different mat
ter from the wages OF the employees.
Yes. I know it's different" replied
the court "ths salaries OF the receivers
arc higher. But, Brother Thurston, have
you eegVsd notice on the employees OF the
railroad that you intend to present this
petiIioH ?"
why. no. yoUr honor. I did not
think il was necessary"
do yop mean 10 tell me, Brother
TAurS,ou, that you expected this court
20 take up and decide matter Of the i'm
por.auca of this without serving notice
on the other side"
But your honor, there are 80 many
of them and they are scattered all over
the road"
That makes no difference. You will
have to notify them all and let them ap-
pear before l will hear it,"
But, your honor, how can we get
them all here?"
Furnish them transportation. The
court will approve the expense. ! WIN
nOt consider the matter unless every
olr rn1 Z - notified onG cri.fNU
q chance to appear. I shall also require
that the officers and receivers salaries
be included in the petition"
The only change TO this ruling Sc
cured by Mr.. Thurston was that the
hearing should De in Omaha. 1t oc-
cured afterwards and it will be re-
membered that Mr.. Thurs;on was tad-
ly knocked out in the decision which
made Judge Caldwell the hero of the la
boring man.

no TIME FOR JOKES,

Prof. Jouo. Mistakes the Wants of the
People-Anxious for Argument and In
formation
To the Editor of the Register.
Philips. w. Va, september 9.-Prof.
Jones (coloreO. of Wheeling, spoke here
to-day. The Republicans brought him
here eight years ago to enthuse our col
orsd people and hold them in line, but
his speech today :ell far below his for
ner effort. Ie told the same old jokes,
mos Of which were well remembered
by the people.
He made no attempt to argue the
money question. and his effort on the
t,ril at no tine could be said to assume
The dignity Of an argument. He slam
6ored senator Teller and all Republican
free silver men. as well as Bryan; and
pra,se,d Palmer and Cleveland as the
brains Of Democracy in former years,
and 81 tie present Time.
our people are too serious this year
TO live on Jokes and abuse from the hust-
ings. They want logical argument; and
nothing else will lsad them. About lou
Republicans and 50 Democrats made up
the crowd.

THE WICkEDNESS or SLEEPING.
Some Of the Notions Which Were Enter.
y tanned Years Ago.


That idea was almost dominant in re-
ligious society 60 years ago, and some
times assumed forms which, If not
ridiculous, were at least quaint. 1t
was, for instance, held to be wrong
for any but the aged to sit i'll easy
chairs, not, as is now vainly imagined,
from any ignorant idea as to the in
jury done to the figure, but because
''lolloping" betrayed blameworthy
tendency to ease and self-indulgence.
/. That was the origin also Of the extraor.
binary prejudice against taking any
extra sleep. The old knew we'll chat
sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to
the young the most wearisome of all
obedience, hut nevertheless they be.
lieved that to wish to sleep more than
q strictly regulated time, which, &C.
cording to modern hygeists, was too
short, was mark of sluggish self-in-
Eulgence, and it was visited, therefore,
with moral Reproduction.
Early rising was extravagantly
praised, not because it heightened the
by, for the early risers went to bed
early, but because it was disagreeabie;
ond some curious rules of diet-for ex.
