Llvlngslon were at home" upon their
ADJOINING lawns to q number of their
TRENDS. The lawns were as attractive
as veivety Turf and cool, deep shade
could make them.
Cushions, rocking chairs aud ham
mocks offered inviting lepose, but the
younger portion of the company found
crOquet and various other games at
tractlve and interesting. About six
O'Clock the husbands aud lovers came
to see how Tie ladies were getting
along. and proved very welcome ad-
dition, the crowd still being old-fasi.
loned enough to believe that there is
more fun when there is men along.
Mr. + Bell used the kodak upon the
company as they ranged Themselves
upon the terrace.
About seven o'clock a table was
spread upon the lawn, and about forty
guests dill their best to stow away the
many good things upon II. their sue

Railroad Employees.

Our Republican contemporaries are
calling upon the railroad employees
throughout the country to vote the RE-
p ldlican ticket on account of the lin
creased prosperity of the roads,"
OF course prosperity is fine thing
for the railroads, and in a it insuIes all
employees steady work; but that is all.
There comes no increase of salary with
increased prosperity. The roads in
creased their freight rates and hire
more men, but not at increased wages
Do not imagine for moment that
the increased number of railroad EN-.
ploys shared in $.7.28S,.74 increased
profits which the railroads enjoy.
1t matters very little to the employe
as far as prosperity is concerned wheth-
or William Mckinley or y Congo can
bibal sits in the White House under
dresent order of things. The prosper
ity or adversely of the railroad work
er is in the hands of dozen men in
Wall street, and voting for William
Mckinley has nothing to do withlt.
Let every one of the million railroad
employees in this country sit down and
figure out how much he has been per
SO tally benefited by the increased pros
perty.
He will find that he has kept his job
and that is all. He has paid more for
his flour more for his meat. more for
his coffee and coal and clothes.
When he has figured things out the
conviction may possibly come to him
that the increased prosperity" means
very little to HMM. Y. journal.
