KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September 19.-
There are good grounds for believing that
the train robbery last night on the Union
Pacific was perpetrated by 9 gang from
Southwest Missouri and this vicinity,
headed by two of the old guerillas. The
friends of the three Youngers, now in the
Minnesota penitentiary for the attempted
bank robbery at Northfeld, have been
planning for several months how to raise
fund by which the escape of the boys
might be effected. The Youngers in
their palmy days never lacked friends
who sheltered them, and they could 81
ways recruit gang for a bank or train
robbery, from men whose GOODNESS OF
nerve could be relied on for the periodi-
cal raids they made on banks and rail-
road trains. Cole Younger was the
leader.

within the range of probability. To-day
the Hamptons, Hills and Lamars will
caress the hands that restore them to
power, but vote the Democratic ticket to-
morrow and forever. But, fellow-Re.
publicans, all this only demonstrates the
vital Importance of maintaining and per-
petuating the Republican party in the
North. 1t is no time to relax or despond.
The committee of credentials reported
in favor of the regular delegates. Conk-
ling was made permanent chairman, but
at his request Mr.. Platt retained the
chair, Conkling saying that it would ena-
BILE him to take full share in the re-
sponsibility of whatever may be done or
refused to be done by this convention.
Applause.
The resolutions were presented by Mr..
Conkling, who stated that they had been
unanimously adopted by the committee.
They contain somewhat elaborate argu-
mcnt against the present civil service
order, holding that no employer, whether
in business or political life, has right
to exclude his employees from participa-
tion in political affairs.
George William Curtis, of Richmond,
when the reading was concluded, called
for the reading Of the second section of
the platform. He then moved to amend
by substituting therefor a resolution
which he read, having been called to the
platform amid great applause. His pro-
position asserted generally that the title
of President Hayes is as clear as that of
George Washington, [applause, and
commended the Presidents official con-
duct and policy in carrying out the
pledges of the National Convention.
Mr.. Curtis proceeded to support his
proposition at length, being frequently
interrupted by demonstrations of hearty
approval from part of the Convention.
Lyman Tremain spoke against the
amendment. The general point of his
argument was that while there was to be
no abandonment of cherished Republi-
can principles, no lowering of the flag
under which the party had SO often
marched to the battle of victory, ap-
plause there was no necessity for intro
ducing this frebrand, on points in regard
to which there were such wide differences
of opinion. It was not wise to thrust
down the throats of Republicans, who
differ and doubt, a declaration approving
of methods which they honestly do not
believe in. Remember, George William
Curtis, said Mr.. Tremain, "milk is for
babies and meat for strong men," Sub
dued laughter.
George William Curtis made a strong
speech in favor of his amendment. The
main feature of the platform is thatwhen
free American happens to hold office
and perform his duty, he has right to
spend his leisure in politics.

,entleman who iust now welcomed me to

gentleman who just now welcomed me to
your city, am glad to note, referred to
the early history of my own Stated ter
ritory formerly belonging to his own,
Virginia. t don't forget how much in
deb6ed to Virginia are FIVE of our great
States, and / remember with pride and
pleasure their origin. Mr.. Jefferson gave
to us that which has proved the corner;
stone of our morality-education and
equality ofrights before the law. We have
have grown up and fourished in pursuing
in the Constitution and laws the pathway
Jefferson marked out. In time daughters
and mothers came to differ for causes for
which we were not responsible, but we
will have no discussion now. 1t is
enough to know now that every cause for
hostility, estrangement and alienation has
been removed forever. He who does not
see the hand of Providence in this is not
likely to ever notice any providential in
reference. The restoration to ancient
friendship is the result. We have come
to result that every good man has prayed
for. The day is here. There pointing to
the military stand men who were against
us from '6f to '65. To-day there is no
shadow between us. You risked your
lives for your convictions. Applause.
Good men and good women respect
those who risk their all in cause which
they believe to be right. Cheers. I
know now that you respect the men who
fought against you for what they believed
right. There may be some among us,
there may be some in the South, there
may be many in both sections not recon-
ciled, but we all know that in the march
of progress there are always some strag-
glers. Applause There is a front
rank and rear rank in all armies.
The great body of the people now
moves forward under the Constitution
and the Union, and all the rest will
soon be glad to be with us. Nobody
yields any of his: Convictions. We
all believe that one nation is better
than two; that one Constitution. is better
than: two; that one flag lis better than
two. hegquestien has been which is
the right one, [applause and that is set
tied. Laughter. That horse carries
two men fpointing to an animal upon
whose back were two persons] when one
would be- better. Great laughter and
applause. Your honorable speaker said
that all sections, all States, and all citi-
zens should have equal and exact justice:
The government now regards all as equal
citizens. Irejoice that Virginia under
stands the Constitution as we do. / have
talked long enough. Cries of 'no, no."

think of starting one-horse plough;
turn with two good mules, and if they
are not strong enough hitch in four.-
Fence up all fall ploughed lana, and let
not at q hoof go on it tiliithe pIoughs are
started next spring. We have frequent
" heard that turning over red land deep
", ruined it. We have often done it and
never yet felt that our land waa injured
by it. Turn the subsoil on, harrow and
pulverize, and manure before planting,
and of course you have a bettar soil to
cultivate crop upon than ii you had
only scratched the surface.
This is the month during which much
thinking as we'll as:much manual labor
should be done. Your prospects were
probably bright last spring they may
have been realized or blasted !; now is the
time you discover one or the other of
these facts. Cherish all those incidents
that tended to secure you what you an-
ticipated during the year, and DO no less
careful to note every circumstance that
thwarted any of your plans. Had you
too much rain during the year? Re-
member, Nature equalizes her gifts and
may not be so bountiful next season
then SOW down largely such crops as will
not require the summers showers. Did
you suffer from drought7 Then husband
every possible resource, and SOW such
crops as will come earliest to your relief,
and wait not another whole year for an
income. Had you an employee that was
unsatisfactory? settle with him and let
him go as soon as practicable before he
becomes a winters nuisance. Had you
willing, profitable hirelingsf encourage
them to economic and prepare for the
future. Are your mules poor 2 fatten at
once, for it will require as much food to
keep poor animal warm during the
winter as it will to keep a fat animal fat.
Are your mules fat7 then start your
ploughs and keep them going till the
winters freezes. Have you more stock,
cows, hogs or sheep, than you can keep
fat during the winter7 if SO, dispose
of them at once, for they will be an ex-
pense to you, and will eat off their heads
before spring. Have youa good supply
of frewood laid up for the winter7 ifnot,
haul it at once, and see to it that your
"darling's footsy tootsies" don't suffer
during cold weather. Look arcslnd for
all kinds of leaks, and wherever found,
stop them without delay.-Neacs and

THE SCENES ON THE STREETS.

THE SCENES ON THE STREETS.
At IL o'clock the fire was at its height.
The scene was one of awful grandeur.
Your correspondent witnessed the pro-
gress of the fire from the Office Of G. A.
Snow & Co., patent attorneys, who have
their rooms located not more than fifty
yards from the spot where the fire origi-
mated. The cold classic outline of the
building was warmed up with a back
ground of seething flame, curling, hiss
ing, darting first here and then there,
taking no fixed course, but devouring
everything within its reach. From each
of the heavy windows on G and 9th
streets front, there were sheets of fame
curling upwards until lost in volumes of
smoke, swept away by the wind. Thou
sands were on the streets and upon the
roofs of adjoining buildings. Policemen
were frantic in their efforts to stay the
surgihg throng of humanity.

THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
Many reports as to the origin of the
fire were circulated. The one that was
generally credited at first was that the
fire started in the Green House on the
top Of the roof by the rays of the sun
coming through the glass roof, which
made focus and ignited some cotton
which was placed around a valuable
plant. Another theory was, and the one
most generally accepted, that the flue for
heating the Green House communicated
the fire. The most plausible explanation
was, however, given to your correspon-
dent by Mr.. Wilson, who was, atsthe
time the fire was first noticed, employed
in storing away old files, and the first one
who gave the alarm of fire. He stated
that between 9 and 10 o'clock fire of
wood had been lit in one or more Offices
