ARCTIC rERgls-DEATn Of CAPT
HALL

The perils of life in the Arctic regions are
fully portrayed in The dispatches printed TO-
day. II is the story OF franklin and Kane
told again, with additional suffering. Capt.
Hall, the Arctic explorer who left the
United States two years ego fully equipped
with men and means and commissioned by
the Government TO ascertain everything
possible regarding the existence Of an
open Polar sea, died Of apoplexy
Oct. S, 1871. We judge from the narrative
of the survivors that the brave Captain died
in the hour when his triumph seemed near
est. I. would appear from the misfortunes
that befalI our Arctic explorers, that nature
has established barrier ain-t inquistive
and acguisi:;ve man, so str.G- I'D so treach-
erous that human ingenuity is not able to
surmount it. AS TO the fate OF the Polaris,
nothing is known beyond the story told by
Captain Tyson. 1t is hardly probable that
the vessel and crew survived the storm Of
the icy sea, which environed her on the
night that Tyson and comrades were sepa-
rated from their companions. The story Of
Captain Halls Arctic expedition may be
told more fully hereafter. but most likely it
will never he narrated by other than the
survivors, who were picked up by the
steamer Tigress.

RAILROADS.

The railroads that have now established
Offices and depats in LesvenworIh are the
Chicsgo, Rock Island and Pacific; Leaven-
worth, Lawrence and Galveston; Pacific of
Missouri; Kansas Central; Kansas City, St.
Joseph and Council Bluff: Chicago, Burling-
ton ana Ni-sanri River and Hannibal and
st. Joseph, The last named road is not di-
ectly connected with the city, We; maintains
IN Office here and gets a fair share Of BUSH
ness, because OF available connections, but
all other roads named move trains TO and
from the Leavenworth depots every day.
Our system of railroads is unsurpassed in the
west, and the advantages that must follow
the consummation OF the scheme now in
progress will be upequalied.
The most gratifying feature Of our railroad
situation is the prosperity Of the roads con-
yergipg at this point. There was marked
increase of shipments for the month of April
this year, as compared with the shipping for
the same month last year. The agents Of
the different companies are highly encour-
eyed, with the business of the present, and
confident of increased shipments for the fu-
tnre. A glance at the local page of to-
days TINES will give TIE reader some idea
of the number of loaded cara sent out and
received d&iiy on the principal lines.

THE HiNSAs PACIFIC - CATTLE,
TRADE.

II seems almost certain that the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company will control fol
several years hence the bulk of the shipping
business Of the great Texan cattle trade.
7 he rev trail recently opened from Els
worth 10 the grazing reg .ons OF Texas meets
the wants OF drovers. and viii doubtless be
marked by innumerable herds OF cattle be-
fore Autumn. The company enlarged the
stock wards at Ellsworth or New Abilene,
with view of accommodating
the increased demand of shippers.
This route is rendered more
popular than others from the fac; that drov-
ers can bring their cattle within two hundred
miles of the Missouri river without loading
them in the cars, and at the same time have
The advantage of pasture in the best grazing
REGIONS OF the West.
Chicago viii receive larger portion OF
the Texas cattle this year than ever before,
because the Chicago, Rock Island Il Pacific
Railway, which crosses the Leavenwor.h
bridge and closely connects with The Kansas
Pacific. is in shspe to handle the GERS with
out delay.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Company has been very active for months
pas: in making preparations TO move cattle,
ard !, comes TO us from authentic sources
that droyers look upon the new route with
great favor

II WAS EVER THUS

4 malicious individual with a view no
doubt of forcing upon the minds Of his coun-
trymen the conviction that the millennium
was dawning telegraphed from Wssh:'"'on
last Thursday that Simon ca. ..ad re-
turned his share OF the ''bsck pay steal" to
the Treasury of the United States. Americans
are creduious. but this story was too much
for human credulity, hence an investigation
of the rumor Was commenced. The Chicago
TliJnas's correspondent, after holding a
short interview with Mr.Spiuner, went to the
telegraph Office and despatched the follow
ing to his paper:
WASHINGTON, May S.-There was q ru-
NOR her. to day to the effect that Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, had Joined the
noble army Of conscience-stricken Congress
men, and had returned his share Of the
salary steal to the United States Treasury.
Careful inquiry at the Office of the Secretary
of State showed that nothing has been heard
from Cameron on the subject since he drew
his money. United States Treasurer Spinner
said he had not received . check or draft
from Gen. Cameron for the amount Of the
back pay. 1t appears, therefore, that the
story is without foundation.

Gideon Welles and Montgomery Blair.
Secretary of the Interior Smith, Attorney
General Bates, Secretary of War Stanton,
Secretary of State Seward and Secretary of
the Treasury Chase have passed away in the

A nobler Government Ministry than that of
which there great men were members cansot

were true men-devoted patriots able and
pure statesmen; and their names are honor
ably and inseperably linked with the history
Of the great struggle by which the nation
was pr reserved against the attempts of rebels

Journal truthfully observes that no mouu-
ment of granite or marble could perpetuate
their memories as effectually as will the

their country at time when that country
needed just such services and just such lead

n..r.r OF JOHN STUART MILL.

Death is reaping bountiiul harvest. Our
dispatches this morning announce the demise
of the foremost thinker OF the age, John
Stuart Mil. At the late hour the sad
tidings reach us we have but time 10 speak
of his valuable services 10 behalf OF humsn-
ity. Although born TO stfiuence ard be-
longing TO the upper ranks Of society, his
sympaihies have ever been with the people,
and his unsurpassed powers Of reasoning de-
yo.ed 10 the extension Of human happiness
Bastiat has said that the divine Intelligence
which could infuse harmony into the celes-
tial sys,em had also willed that similar or
der should prevail in our social mechanism.
To bling abou, this harmony in society seems
TO have been the aim OF this great REFORM
er's labor,. lie advocated the greatest
Happiness 10 the greatest number,
and 10 secure this studied out
plan to avoid too unequal distribution of
tie profits OF industry. His writings on So
cial and economic science favor education
Q! the mssses, Cooperative industry, unre-
s;ric:ed commercial intercourse, a Limitation
OF the right of bequest, and a more equitable
division of the land. Thee reforms were
enforced with great power of logic and with
an eioquence OF language that is rarely sur-
passed The deceased reformer was born
in London, May ooh. lS0G, snd wa edu-
Gated at home by bis father. In early
youth he went TO France, and made himself
master OF the French language. Daring his
s;ay 10 Paris he lived in The house of Say,
the great political economist, where lac made
the acquaintance OF many men distinguished
in literature au} politics. In 1923 he en-
tered the India House, where for thirty years
lie continued TO lee occupied in the political
department At one time he was offered by
Lord Stanley 4 set in the new India
council, ba: he declined on the score of
failing hea!:h. Among his writings may be
mentioned a series OF articles in The West
a.iasfeI EeJicig and in 1897 he edited some
OF Benlham's works. In 1913 he published
his System Of L2gic; in 1913, the Principles
OF Pc iiieal Economy; in 1859, an essay on
LibeI,y. HIS las: work was on the Subjec-

MONEY PROSPECT.

In a careful and painstaking review oil the
financial situation and outlook, the Fianneidi
Chronicle thinks we shall have monetary
tranquility for the next two or three months.
The best authorities anticipate trouble in the
fall. Consequently there will be more dis
position 10 provide loans beforehand. This
disposition to seek tinle-losns in the summer,
reaching through the fall and winter, if it
extends, Al Il bids fair to do, will have the
two-fold effect Of diminishing the pressure in
the fall and winter and OF increasing the
activity daring the dull months between
seasons. II. for this and other reasons,
money Should not lend at as low rates as
Usual this summer, there will probably be .
compensation in the prevalence Of easier
rates in the fall.
