WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1889 The president takes a few days vacation. He will take a pleasure trip down the Potomac in Secretary ‘Wanamaker’s yacht “Restless.” Mrs. Harrison's niece's husband has received a comfortable place. What relation would he be to Mr. Harrison? However, it’s no matter. He's near enough to get an office.— Chicago Herald. Minnesota established new rules for the convicts at St. Cloud which may solye the problem of prison re- form. The convicts are graded and given money for their work and priv- ileges according to their conduct. Se Even in disaster and death politics and party feuds have to show them- selves. Tho disgusting issue is now raised over the disposition of the Johnstown funds—which faction of the republican party shall handle the money. ee Postmaster Bondurant, of Furr, this state, says it is harder to get rid of the office than it was to secure the position under a democratic ad- ministration. He has addressed a letter to President Harrison saying: “I'm 4 moss-backed, fire-eating dem- écrat and my political convictions compel! me to say I cannot and will not hold the office longer.” Mr. Bondurant should be relieved. EEE Labor fashions the the structures of the world, shapes the fields of the commonwealth, guides the fallen hammer, moulds the piston-rod, and keeps commercial activity on the in- crease. He who labors is filling a grand mission and he should always remember that his hand has been instrumental in making the world grander and better, what could we do without it!—Ex, eae St. Joseph, Mo., June 13.—Judge McLean, the president of the Savan- nah (Mo.) savings institution, which failed a short time ago, was arrested to-day and put in jail for embezzle- ment. His bond was fixedat $1,000 but no one would become his surety. There were several warrants out for his arrest. It is alleged that he re- ceived money when he knew the bank to be in a shaky condition. —_—_——————— The road improvement bill, offered by Clay's representative, Maj. Cash, has become a law. The law author- izes the county court, on the petition of one-tenth of the tax paying citi- xens,to submit toa vote of the people the proposition to ereate indebted- ness for the construction of graded, macadam, plank or gravel roads, The people who desire good roads can secure the same by voting the necessary money to build the same. —Jefferson City Tribue. —— The Kansas City Times argues that “the seasons are only manipula- tors of prices.” If the Times will watch the fine work of the Armours, the Swifts and Hutchinsons a few months it will discover that it has been in error. “Old Hutch” can beat a drouth ora hail storm any day and can crowd a cyclone pretty close. Unfortunately the natural law of supply and demand no longer controls prices. Such control has gone into the shrewd manipulators cliques, head of combinations and trusts.—Marshall Democrat News. ——_—___ The republican policiitans are wasting considerable of this admin- is tration’s time in looking after the ousting of the democrats and the inning of the republicans. The good promises of good times and better wages is entirely ignored for the greed for office. To save their bacon in 1892 they had better begin | Mr. Andrew Carnegie is a melan- ‘choly example of a man whose preaching and practice are irrecon- 'cilable. Before the election he pre- | dicted a terrible fall in wages should | Cleveland be elected. Harrison tri- umphed and Carnegie cut the wages of his employees ten per cent. Per- petually preaching philanthropy, he keeps the noses of his workingmen tight against the grindstone. Exalt- ing the virtues of the protective sys- tem, he permitted his wife and daughters who returned from Eu- rope Sunday, to enter thirty-three trunks ‘find forty-five cases at the custom house as personal effects, thereby avoiding the payment of duties. Boasting of the virtues of a home market, he buys nothing in it himself, but spends in England the money he earns in the United States. —K. C. News. who was so disgracefully dispatched by an infurited mob in Topeka, Kan- sas June 4th, for murdering A. T. Rodgers a prominent merchant, is highly connected, as the following dispatch will show: Topeka, Kan., June 15.—Sheriff Fuller to-day received a letter from W. A. Oliphant proprietor of the Riverside farm, near Union, Ind. He is an uncle of the young man lynched here onthe night of June 4, for the murder of A. T. Rodgers. News of his untimely death has made his mother a raving maniac and prostrated the father. The Oliphant family is an old and respected one, this being the first stain upon the name. Ex-Governor A. G. Porter, now minister to Italy is @ cousin, and the President was per- sonal friend of the family. The let- ter closes by saying: “I have the honor to be the personal friend, and of having the pleasure of often en- tertaining at my house, the man who now occupies the highest position to which an American can hope to ob- tain. If there had been a blot up- on our name Benjimen Harrison whose private life was as pure as the falling snow, would never have darkened my door.” Democratic Nationat Committee. New York, June 12—This morn- ing the corriders of the Fifth ave- nue Hotel were crowded with dem- ocratic politicians from all parts of thecountry. At noon the National Democratic Committee was called to order for the first time since the death of Mr. Barnum. The mem- bers of the committee who have been in town several days, were re-enforc- ed by several others, while the morn- ing trains brought the number al- most up to the total membership. Carlos French presented resolu- tions expessing regret at the death of W. H. Barnum, eulogising the de- ceased asa citizen and statesman, for his fidelity, liberality, impartiali- ty, sound judgement, tireless energy and acute penetration into causes of political results. Senator Gorman spoke at length upon the good qualities of the dead leader, and the resolutions were un- nanamously adopted. Secretary of the committee S. P Sherrin, of Indiana then made an ad- dress upon the death of Capt. Daw- son, of South Carolina, in which he paid a high tribute to his worth and memory, and briefly reviewed his life. He also presented resolutions testifying to the regret of his death and thehigh esteem in which he was held by the committee of which he was a member. These were also adopted unanamously. The nomination of Calvin S. Brice to be chairman of the committee was then made by Judge McHenry, of Ky., and was seconded by Sen- ator Gorman. ly elected. Ligonier, Ind. June 16.—A cy- clone passed through the town this afternoon tearing down shade trees and unroofing houses along its path. The fine brick dwelling of J. M. Betts, was nearly destroyed and the new residence of W. E. Harding is a total wreck. The Ligonier hotel and a number of other building were un- to hedge by beginning to raise the : roofed.

Raging Waters in Kansas. | Parsons, Kan., June 16.—The re- | cent rains in this section of country | ‘have raised the streams to such an} | extent that the floods have been very | damaging to crops as well asrailroad | eames The flood has washed out | the Missouri, Kansas & Texas for | a half mile south of Ft. Scott. No | trains can move over the tracks until the waters go down and the track !has been repaired. Al! eastern trains | are sent from here to Chetopa and over the Missouri Pacific track. The Neosho section of the M., K. & T. was washed out in several places, but it has been repaired and trains are now running, although the track is submerged in several places. Great quantities of wheat and oats ing down the Neosho river, and if the high waters continue much greater damage will be done. Wichita, Kan., June 16.—Heavy rains have raised streams in this sec- tion out of their banks. Big Walnut and White water ure high and rising rapidly, the flood coming from the north, appearing to be from a cloud burst. The town of Augusta is submerg- ed. The Santa Fe office and all the buildings in the lower part of town are flooded. The Rock Island and St. Louis, Ft. Scott & Wichita trains are all delayed by the depth of water on their tracks. Iola, Kan., June .16.—Never since 1885 has this country known such heavy rains as fell here last night. This morning all the small streams are out of their banks, bridges are gone and the Neosho river is a rag- ing torrent two miles wide. At this writing, 9:30, the river is rising two inches an hour, and it seems certain that all stock and crops in the bot- toms will be lost. No passenger trains on the Ft. Scott & Western have passed here to-day, and none can for several days, as the track is washed out of line for 100 yards. Blaine’s Last Snub. It is no wonder that reports are being circulated that Blaine’s health is breaking and that his features bear the marks of a troubled mind. Many storys have been sent from Washington about the manner in which the secretary of the state has been snubbed by the president, and Tux Times’ disaptches this morning tell of another humiliation put upon the idolized republican leader by the man he placed in the White house. It has been generally under- stood that the delay in consular ap- pointments was caused by the presi- dent’s pompous interference with the nominations of his secretary of state, but it was not supposed that he had gone to the extent of scratch- ing the name of a veteran whose appointment was recognized as a necessity by Blaine in order to make way for a college friend of his son Russell. To a man of Blaine’s imperious disposition the effect of such humilliation will redily be understood. He cannot resign without creating a scandal, and yet his retention of the office under the circumstances is gall and wormwood to him. No wonder that he is aging rapidly and looks haggard and care-worn. The president's treatment of Blaine is just what was to be expect- ed of him. Fearing Blaine’s overpow- ering personality he did not want him in his cabinet, but was forced to take him by the almost unani- mous demand of the party. Having | appointed him he at once set about showing the country that Blaine was not going to be the command- ing figure that he had been under Garfield. He was not big enough | to stand by the side of his secretary | of state on his merits, but he was | just small enough to use his authori- ty to snub and annoy him into keep- inginthe background. His treat- ment of Blaine isa sign of weak- hess, not strenth.—Ex. Washington, June 16.—The body of a suicide was found in Arlington | cemetery yesterday and has been | identified as that of H.

Jefferson City, June 14.—Govern- or Francis to day approved the fol- lowing bills, passed by the general assembly: House bill requiring rail- roads to make connections with switches and permitting shippers to furnish their own cars in certain cases; house bill railroads to furnish suitable cars for theshipment of live stock; senate bill revising the insur- ance law; house bill prohibiting the adulteration of milk in the city of St. Louis; and senate bill relating to the adjutant general's office. Nipped In the Bud. Is it not better to nip consump- tion, the greatest scourge of human- ity, in the bud, than to try to stay its progress on the brink of the ve?

A colored (sleeping-car) porter, who assisted the wife of Private Secretary Halford during the Cone- maugh flood, has been given em- ployment in the treasury department at Washington; the claims of a Union veteran, with an honorable war rec- ord, to a certain consulate have been set aside because Russell Harrison wants the place for a former class- mate, and so it goes.—K. C. Star. The dispatches state that the United States obtained all it de- manded at the Samoan eonference, but that Secretary Blaine wishes more concessions. The secretary of state isa diplomat.

Rob- ertson, late of Company B, Fifth Michighan volunteers, whose claim for a pension was based upon the loss of a thumb from the accidental discharge of a pistol while on pick- et duty. The claim was originally rejected on the ground that the pis- tol was no part of the soldiers equip- ment. While admitting that this is ordinarily a fact the Assistant Secretary finds thatthe guns with which the claimant’s regiment were armed were of a very inferior quali- ty, and that the pistols were furnish- ed the soldiers when on picket or other special important duty. The claimant was consequently in line of duty at the time of -the accident. The pension is ordered granted.
