The ship that went | down was loaded with emigrants. | Wittrock, the express robber now in the penitentiary serving a six) years’ sentence, makes affidavit that Fortheringham had nothing to do} with the robbery. Raymond Belmont, son of August Belmont, a New York banker, com- mitted suicide bv shooting himself Tuesday morning in a shooting gal- y, lery in New York City. From present indications England is making preparations to go to war with the United States over the Can- ada fishery question. Well, let her | come, the United States will meet her half way. The mind cure dectors will not prosper in Wisconsin hereafter. The late Congressman Price was attend- ed by one of these physicians, who sat off in another reom and predicted his patient’s recovery two hours after the breath had lett his body. Over thirty thousand men are ona strike at the New York docks, and a large number of ships are unable to leave port. It is thought the strike will extend to the railroads. Green hands are being put to work and there is no telling the outcome. EEE The Richard Woods execution at Leavenworth, Kansas, indicates that the peuple over there are tiring of feeding their life prisoners on Jonny cakes and sorghum molasses and are returning tu the pleasant manner ot | disposing of them by tieing a rope around their neck and dragging them to death through the streets. Senator Vest and Congressman Glover, ot St. Louis, are at outs. It seems the matter has grown out of tederal appointments at St. Louis. Mr. Glover has addressed a letter to Mr. Vest, the contents of which are very petsonal, and the prospects are that something more than mere words will grow out of the matter. —_—_—— If the United States could whip England twice with halt the navy she has now and with but about five millions of people what will be the consequence now with our greatly improved navy and sixty millions of people. It is safe to say the Uni- ted States would make John Bull mighty tired before she got through with the job. —_—_—_——— New York has a society ot work- ingmen called the Guild ef the Iron Cross. The guild numbers 1,500 members, who are Christian work- men, pledged to use their influence against the three vices most destruc: tive to the welfare ot society—intem- perance, blasphemy and impunity. Their badge is a small iron Maltese cross, with the words ‘‘Temperance, Reverance, Chastity.’’ ee Richard Woods, the burly negro | who rayished little Mary Eddlemon, | while on her way home from school near Leavenworth, Kansas, one day | last week, was taken from the Leav- enworth jail Sunday morning about 3 o'clock by a mob, a rope attached to the horn ot a saddie, the other | end placed around his neck. his feet | and hands securely bound, and the | command was given to proceed, | His body was dragged up through | the city and left liteless and entirely | nude about one mile from the jail. | On account of the heinousness of the crime, for which the negro was lynch- | ed, the action ot the mob in ridding | the community of the presence of the | brute was applauded by the entire! city, notwithstanding the means “taken to end his career. | that would directly : BIG 7 HAS DONE ITS DUTY. Austin’s slur on the standing rail- | road commuttee is as ungenerous as , it is contemptable, and shows the | abnormal development ot spleen to | direct an alarming extent. Aus’ motives are better understood when it 1s | known that he made a remark to one | possib! vf the members of the committee that one newspaper man should not have been appointed on the commit- tee over the rest. On the return of the special committee appointed to confer with the President of the Chicago, Ft. Scott & Texas R. R. at Ft. Scott, a meeting ot the citi- zens will be called and a full report of the workings of the committee will be made of what they have done to secure a railroad for Butler and Bates county. The editor of this paper wants to see Butier have other railroad facilities and would put torth his utmost endeavors in that behalt, as he has done in the past, whether on the railroad com- mittee or not, it would make no dif- ference in his zeal to see this accom- plished. We were placed upon this committee by Mr. A. L. McBride, chairman of the meeting, without solicitation, and where we have en- deavored to the best ot our abilities to have it accomplish the ends tor which it was created. Now,howeyer, it our presence 1s to tarow an obsta cle in the way of the goal almost in our very reach, ou account of petty jealouses, we will cheertully step aside and let some one else take our place, promising at the same time that our zeal tor the welfare of But- one iota by the change no matter who may be placed in our stead, nor will we ever throw the slightest stumbling block in the way ot the workings of that committee whose duties are arduous and usually thank- | less after all is said and done. RAILROAD BUILDING. i | | }its share. There can be no question | j}to railroads, all ot which can be secured for the asking. There are already three of four projecting lines for this section: The St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado, C. B. & Q., the extention of the Emporia from Butler east, and last, but not least, the Chicago, Ft. Scott & Texas railroad. We believe that some, possibly all, of these lines will! be extended to the southwest the coming summer, and there is no good reason why Butler and Bates county should let any of them pass by. There is no use to attempt to disguise the fact that it we expect to keep up with our sister towns and counties in Missour: and Kansas we can not afford to lose these roads, but it is equally certain that it we secure one or more we will have to work for them. We know it is fre- quently argued thaf railroads build where it 1s to their best interests, regardless of outside assistance, But this 1s more often the exception than the general rule: and how many towns and communities can one recall in his own experience where railroads have run just close enough to be ot very great injury and no ad- vantage in the world, and all because the citizens refused their encourage_ ment and aid. The time has come in the history of Butier, if she ever expects to be come a city of any consequence, that her business men and citizens must go to work with that end in view. Only a tew short years ago Butler was all lite and animation, and vis- sons of the imperial city of the southwest flitted betore the eyes of our citizens till, drunk with the con- {templation ot her past wonderful and rapid growth and prosperity, the golden moments passed unheeded, and opportunities which could have beem embraced were passed by, the result was Butler was set back at least five years..

The resolution provides, that if submitted to the people, Se- | dalia proposes to pay all the expen- ses ot such submission and ims given a bond in the penal sumot three thousand dollars to pay suck expen- ses. If itis adopted, Pettis county will then give $300,000 to the State to assist in the erection of new State buildings, besides torty acresof land elligibly tocated for Capitol Giounds. The resolution before us provides for this, and unless Pettis countv lives up to her agreement, ind the amendment should be adopted by the people, the Capital wouldnot be | removed. The people ot the State ae ripe tor submission of this question Soon the State must have new Capitol buildings and if the Capital 5 to be removed, a new location shaild be selected betore any more treaure is expended on the almost tumbi:- down old Capitol.

By ail means let the question go to the people and be settled. On Tuesday last Governa Fora- ker, of Ohio, appointed R. B, Hayes, of Fremont, to be trustee of the Ohio State University tor the term of seven years, beginaing on May 14. When the name came before the Senate tor confirmation, several of the Democratic members became quite tunny in the tamiliarity with which they handled the name. | There was, however, little debate upon the subject. . Mr. Welch, dem- ocrat, asked if some Senator would tell who the candidate was, to which Mr. Pugsley, Congressman elect, replied that eight out of fifteen per- sons in the country would vouch for the candidate and his capability to fill the position tor which he had been named. Mr. Hayes, it will be remembered, once lived in the White House.—St. Joe Gazette. Plenty of Just Such.

HOW CANADA FEELS. Views Regarding Retaliation. —eoe- Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 26.—The an. | nouncement of the passage in the | resolution against Canada causes not | only much excitement, but consider- . able uneasiness to the dominion! for us now to go to work with a will | government, as the ministers had | considered the matter as buncombe, not beheving that it would pass. Minister of Marine and Fisheries Foster says: ‘‘We are disposed to deal tairly. As regards the action of the United States’ senate and the! retaliatory measure which it is pro- posed to make, the law will cut both ways and not until it has been in; operation for a while will the United States realize who will be the most injured by it.” As regards the proposed retusal to allow Canadian cars to pass into the | | United States, the commissioner of customs states that such a step would | necessitate similar restrictions as re- gards United States cars entering Canada at Windsor and passing out over the Canada Southern at Ni- agara. “It will be death to our timber | trade trom the Ottawa district if the legislation proposed at Washington is carried into effect,’’ remarked one ot the heaviest shippers ot lumber. **The country would rise in arms against any government who,through their bungling policy, had torced the United States to place a law on their | statute books which would in effect stop commercial intercourse between the countries and close the United States n.arket against $40,000,000 of our production.”’ Sir John Macdonald said: ‘I re- gret very much that congress has gone so tar. I feel confident that there is some misapprehension in Here in Canada we wish to live in peace and-harmony We have our fishery treaty, which | was framed by representatives of | Great Britain and the United States in 1818. We consider that we have only acted as that treaty concedes The people of the United States ought to be willing to allow us the treaty rights which their own representatives granted. The Cana- dian government has acted according to law. It has referred its acts and reasons therefor to the imperial government of Great Britain. It sees no reasons to change its views, no matter what may take place in other countries.’’ “Then you are willing to say that Canada will not recede trom its present position ?’’ ‘Yes; Canada’s position is fixed, regardless of what may be done in the United States.” All the leading Canadian papers, irrespective of party, agree that Canada’s position 1s impregnable on the fisheries question and urge the domirion government to uphold At the same time the hope is expressed that the United States government will not take the course which recent legislation indicates until every means of coming to a fair and ami- cable settlement 1s exhausted. | ; we may.
