A Wall street organ, the New York
Journal of Commerce, says the decrease
in the net revenues of the government is
not due to the Dingley bill, or the over
importations due to anticipated increase
in the duties, especially the wool i'm
portations which were brought in free of
duty, but that the deficiency is due to
an increase in the payment of pensions
and proceeds to bemoon the fact that
business men should incur distress and
inconvenience by reason of this un-
reasonable pandering to a sentiment
that should find no Judgement in the
minds of our officials. 1t is case of
"damn the old soldier" for desiring a
futlmenU Of the contract made with
the government when he put his life in
balance against the disruption of the
union, 1t is equivalent to saying let
the old soldier wait; he will die some OF
these days. In the meantime Wall
street and the money interest must
have their affairs closely guarded.

If you have any doubt about Hanna's
love for his employees just ask them.
Then see how quick the truthful an,
swer will be met by a discharge at the
commencement of hard winter. If op.
portunities for work were plenty Hanna
would not make the open challenge that
he does regarding his conduct towards
his "hands." He knows he is safe, for
the boys he employs will not tell on him
when to tell means decapitation. With
tree opportunities for employment
Hanna knows he would not dare issue
his challenge.

1t seems there is much bitterness in

Senator Hanna's position on the
money question, as we understand it, is,
that he is for the gold standard, that he
is in favor of retiring the greenbacks and
that the government should borrow
money by selling bonds to redeem the
greenbacks, and give the people over to
the banks.

A DREADFUL MIX UP.
In Which Three Infants Wero tho
Principals.

In Which Three Infants Were tho
Principals.
II Is the custom of the old world to
send babies to church for baptism when
they are eight days old--at which age
their mothers are commonly unable
to accompany them, In certain parts
OF France the infants are borne by their
nurses, but in other parts the god
parents bear them from the house to
the altar.
Not long ago, at the village Of Escout-
ouX, near Theirs. three families of peas
ants had assembled from rural dis
tricts not far away for the christening
OF three little sons. The families were
strangers to one another. but had all
taken quarters at the single inn o.
the village. For convenience, the inn
keepers wife put all three of the ba-
bles in the same bed,
When the hour for the christening
came, the godparents, all in excellent
humor, and making common celebra-
ton of the affair, came and got the bn-
bies and took them TO The church, All
went well during the ceremony, but
on the return to the inn It was found
that the various godparents or the
priests, or some one else, had hopeless
ly mixed the children up.
Naturally the godparents did not
know how to distinguish the babies
very well, because most of them had not
seen them until that day and except
to mother or nurse, there is nothing
very individual about a baby eight days
old. The babies were all dressed in
pure white, in clothes made exactly in
the same way.
For moment the fathers Of the chill
dren had terrible fear that even the
mothers would not know them apart,
or else that two mothers might claim
the same baby. For II time the god
parents did not dare submit the chill
drcn to the mothers. leaving each to
pick out her own; they feared that they
might get into n still worse snarl, and
that it was their duty to find out which
baby was which, by careful inquiry.
Meantime the three mothers became
much agitnted,
1t was finally decided to let the moth
crs do the selecting, and each prompt
~ chose her own infant without any
disagreement whatever This seemed
10 put matters right. But now the
question arose, since the babies had
been confesscdly mixed up by the god
parents, after taking them out of the
he'd to go to church, which one had
been baptized with which name?
The sacramento and legal author
ity Of christening in France is great,
and mere assumption that each child
had been baptized with the name that
the parents intended for it, would not
cover the case; nor could the ceremony
be repeated, since n second baptism IS
impossible.
At last accounts this difficulty had
not been adjusted, and it is possible
that the three children will go through
life with the imputation resting upon
them that perhaps they are bearing
names that were in fact bestowed upon
some one else-Youth's Companion.

Contradictory Reports Concerning tho Al

Town.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 2O.--The story
sent out from Larned, Kan, to the
effect that the Santa Fe station at
Rozel, on the Larned-Jetmore branch
of that road had been swallowed by
the earth last night is according to the
statement of the Santa Fe officials in
this city wholly without foundation,
There has been no depot building
at Rozel for some time, the building
having been moved to another point
and no agent was ever stationed at
that point. They say the regular
train on that branch came through as
usual this morning, indicating that
the roadbed was all right
A special from Larned Kan, says:
The excitement over the disappearance
of Rozel increases as the news OF the
remarkable phenomenon spreads.
Hundreds of people visited the scene
yesterday. Many theories are adj
vanced to account for the occurrence.
Some contend that the earth dropped
into an immense cave; others that it
was caused by the underhow of the
Arkansas river, which is now, for the
first time for more than year, bank
full at this point, and threatens an
inundation of the low lands, But the
most plausible theory is that advanced
yesterday that this entire section of
Kansas is underhowed by an immense
river or inland sea.

even covered one portion of the road at
