The subscriptions given 1anges all the way from ten cents to ten thousand dollars. Each day the World publishes the names of those subcribing to the fund and the amount given. All donations are to be sent to the Western Campaign Fund box 2,353, New York City. ee Wilten McDonald, president of the Midland National Bank has pur chased the controlling iuterest in the Kavsas City Times and will ‘hereafter have editorial and busi ness management of the paper. Mr. McDonald has long been identitied with the interests of Kansas City and is well known throughout the west asa successful banker. He isa staunch democrat aud the paper will be run in the interest of the demo cratic party. We prophesy continu ued prosperty for the Times under the able management of Mr. Me Donald. Sunday night four farmers played bold train robbers and held up the regular east bound St. Louis and San Francisco passenger train, se- curing about $2,500. They were arrested shortly afterwards by the sheriff of Cowley county, who, it seems had been notitied of the plot and knew where to lay his hands on the robbers. Some are so uncharita- ble as to say that it was a campaign method of, the peoples’ party to ‘raise funds. That they are simply | following the example of the repub- lican party which holds up and robs office holders under Harrison's ad- ministration. The miners troubles in east Ten nessee have about quieted down. Gen Carnes marched against Coal Creek on Friday, routed the rioters and recaptured Col. Anderson, who the miners were holding asa pris oner. The soldiers then scouted through the mountains and captured every suspicious character. About 500 miners are now being held as risoners. Bud Lindsay, the leader of the rioters reported killed. It is believed there will be no further trouble, and certainly none so long as the soldiers are kept on the ground. In the fighting fifteen miners were killed and many more wounded, while four soldiers and volunteers were killed. This loss of property and life could have been acted with promptness and firmness in the outset.

Governor Hogg’s friends cap-| that pecul order of th court calling on Messrs. Catron anc Reeder to come up and settle a defi ry county 1 cit, which Judge Reece, after care n’s report, declared to severa s did not | exist. As we understand it the expert, | Mr. Allison, doesn’t claim that there lis a deficit or shorta in these of- ficials’ accounts, he ply sets forth as his ofénfor that the county court 1 owed commissions for disbursing moneys in excess of the rate provid ed by the statutes. made out, presented to the These accounts were county court, were duly audited and paid by the court. that if this court has the power to go back for several yearsand reverse the rulingsof the old court and make these gentlemen refund money duly allowed by their predecessors, then they have the power to take up every account allowed by the old court and declare the charges exor bitant and make the parties come in and refund the money paid them. In 1887 and ‘88 the State Auditor allowed Mr. Reeder 24 per cent on all license tax. The county court allowed the same, and Mr. Allison claims that they should have allow ed only 2 per cent. Instead of tix uring out just what would be due the county on that basis, Mr. Alli son very thoughtfully wants to look after the state's interest too, and so includes it allina Jump. We have no doubt the state will be very thankful to this learned profes sor for his deep interest in the state's welfare. The county court allowed Mr. the amount of the school fund principal he paid out. The Attorney General wrote an opinion that the court could allow one-half of per cent. The court only allowed Mr. Reeder Now, we claim auditor Reeder commissions on one the Attorney General, and of course his opinion ou law questions is much more valuable than the opinion of that official. In Mr. Catron’s case the expert admits that the commissions that be was entitled to, that be failed to col leet, would more than amount he overcharged.
