Fire In q L0nalic Asylum.
rGots

About o'clock on Monday morning a
fire was discovered in the.upper story of the
Lunatic Asylum east of this city. 1t broke
out in the northwest room, ard was dis
covered by Ambrose Leonard, lunatic,
who was sleeping in the lower room, and
who was awakened by the Goals Of fire fall
ing through upon him. When the alarm
was given the warden and his assistants
went to the rescue, but they found Annie
White, an insane patient from Davis ooun-
ty, burnt to crisp, and Mercy Robinson
OF Salt Lake, in the next room, suffocated
by the smoke. The fire had thus made
two corpses and damaged the house to the
amount of about 500. The origin of the
fire, it is pretended, is a mystery. But it is
likely that the patient White set the house
on fire, ~ she had on several occasions
threatened to do

The Wheat Prospect.


The dry weather of October and Novem-
Der caused much apprehension in regard TO
the growing wheat. The drought prevented
it from making its usual fall growth, and
there was good ground for fear that a cold,
dry winter would prove very destructive to
it. The recent SHOWS, however, and espec-
tally tine heavy fall of Thursday night and
Friday last, have dissipated that fear, and
the probability that the ground will remain
covered with snow for at least considera-
bic part Of winter, affords assurance of a
full crop for 1879 This assurance cannot
but have beneficial effect upon business
Of all kinds. Instead of the supply on
hand being held back in anticipation of q
short crop next year, it will now come for
ward, and farmers and business men will
feel warranted in entering upon commercial
enterprises and making expenditures that
otherwise would have been deemed unsafe
With such crop next year as we had
this, immigration will be stimulated to
even greater proportions than We witnessed
this year, and will be distributed more gen.
orally over the State than has heretofore
been the case. Based upon this immense
product of bread stuffs, it will be almost i'm
possible that business should not revive, in
spite Of the mischievous financial? lsgi-la-
ton OF the past, and q general betterment
OF the condition OF the country follow. We
have said repeatedly during the past two
years, that the State of Kansas was at the
door OF an era OF prosperity beyond what
We have ever before seen, and all the signs
indicate that time has almost if not quite
hrpun

u0.IES R.cGRapr,ya.D POEus.

Col Richard J. Hinton, the we'll known
writer, formerly OF Kansas, now resides in
San Francisco, Cal, and is IN editorial wri-
Ter on the Pos. He and the late Col. Rich
ard Reslf had been personal and literary
friends for more than twenty years. They
were together in Kansas IS early as 1856.
COL Hinton writes 10 F. G.. Adams. Secrc-
tzry OF the Slate Historical Society, that at
his desth Realf named Col. Hinton as his
literary executor, and that he is now at
work on Biographical sketch TO be pub
lished with Realfs poems. The volume is
designed for the benef. OF Realfs widow
and child, now destitute in the city OF New
York.
Resif procured z divorce in Pcnnsylya-
MA, and married again. AfseI that, on
purely technical ground, the supreme court
revoked the decree Of divorce, and ordered
the case re-opened. Resii, in the mean
time, became sick and poor; so had not
the strength or money to pursue the case.
On partial recovery he went TO California
10 mend his fortunes. There the woman
who was his fate followed, and he took his
own life.
1t is for the benefit of the wife and child
of the second marriage that Col Hinton
has undertaken this literary work. He
asks for such information SIS the records and
files of the State Historical Society contain
respecting Col. Realf. He thinks much in
formation respecting Realfscareer IN Kansas
must be contained in tine files Of Kansas
newspapers, during 1861, and about the
time OF the John Brown Harpers Ferry
affair. 1890. Col. Hinton also wishes il
made known through the Kansas papers
that he has undertaken the preparation Of
such biography, and that he desires infor-
nation concerning REALS personal remin-
iscences OF HIM such as may be within
the knowledge of persons in Kansas, to be
forwarded TO him as early as practicable.
He wishes, also, that any person who may
be willing to subscribe for the book or aid
in selling it, to forward him their names.
Reslfs life was a most eventful one.
Col. Hinton is an able writer, and will un-
doubleday make Of the biography, together
with the poems, 4 very interesting book.
The task OF its preparation could not have
been entrusted to better hands. 1t Is to be
| hoped that many of the Kansas people who
knew both Realf and Hinton well will be
| able TO aid the latter in his charitable pur-
pose by furnishing such information rs il
desired, and by encouraging the sale OF the

PUBLICATION OF THE LAWS.

At its next session the legislature will pass
upon the revised laws, and We think it
would be a wise act II that body would pass
law providing for the publication Of all now
acts as soon as passed and approved by the
Governor In every newspaper in the State.
This could be done nj a nominal cost, and
would be of incalculable value to the people,
who are supposed to not only know the laws
as soon as passed, but TO obey them.-Ed.
,r-rds County Leader.
The above suggestion BY The Lender is
good. The laws should be published by
one paper in each county-the one having
the largest circulation-or, at least by one
in esch judicial district. The cost of such
advertising is comparatively trifling, and
there i. no other way in which the informa-
ton can be brought SO successfully before

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

We had an article yesterday morning
upon the propriety OF Government legis!a-
ton for the regulation Of railway trsfhc'
and took occasion 10 refer therein to
measure now pending before Congress to
prevent roads from discriminating against
way stations and in favorof through points.
We copy to-day, from the Congressional
Psord, a par, of the debate on the bill IN
the House. The measure was cham
pfoned BY Mr. Reagan, OF Texas, and WIS
opposed BY Potter, Hewitt, and several 9Th
er uroniueui members Of both psrties, bat
Wa passed. notwithstanding the opposition
b. vote Of one hundred and thirty nine
10 one hundred and four, thus showing that
the lower house Of Congress, al any rate, is
in earnest in the matter. The clause under
consideration in that portion OF the debate
which We copy, was the one prohibit
Ing roads from charging more tor
a short distance than for a longer
one. 4 good illustration Of the wrong this
section propose. to right, was furnished IN
the discrimination Of the Union Pacihc
against the Kansas Pacific, and which
gave rise TO the bill Of last session, requIr-
ing the Pacific roads to pTo-rote Freight
received BY the Union Pacific from the
Kansas Pacific, at Cheyenne, was charged
a higher price per pound, orPer CARLOAD,
from that point to San Francisco, than was
charged for the same kind Of freight receiy-
ed at Omaha, six hundred miles east oil
Cheyenne, and which consequently had to
be carried six hundred miles further over
the Pacific roads than the freight received
at Cheyenne And il is a well known fact
that freight received at a way station ire
quently has to pay a greater sum for 1t:
TRANSPORTATION to the eastern or western ter
mimi. Of the road than like freight received
at either end of the line, and carried ovei
the whole line. The bill referred to seek.
TO prevent this. Ii permits a road &c
charge a, mu.h for carrying freight fifty
miles a. for carrying the same freight five
hundred miles, but says it shall not charge
more. 1t seems to US this is very mild, and
We are unable TO see what valid reason
gentleman could have for opposing meas
ure which seeks to prevent such unjust dis
elimination. If Congress has right t.
legislate for the railroads at all, certainly
the point aimed at by section four Of Mr.
Reagan's bill is good point at which tt

A RIGHTEOUS TAX.

We agree wish the St. Louis Pos, d Dis
patch that if Democratic members OF Con-
gress wish 10 do anything that viii be both
just and popular they should restore the in
come tax and establish one on inheritances.
The TINES has frequently advocated the
restoration of the income tax, because we
regard ii as the most righteous tax that
could be levied. 1t can never be burden
some, because il never reaches a man who
Is not able to pay, and requires much only
where much has been given. The Post d
Dispatch saws:
The fact that only those who have large In.
comes or large fortunes by inheritance, OPP
pose these measures should be the strongest
possible recommendation in their favor. No
man who has an income should object TO pay
. tax on it when under our general sy stem of
taxation species OF property or values are
taxed that represent no income at all, often
no real value whatever, but the opposite
debt. There is no more just mode of taxation
than on iLcomes. And let the tax grow in
proportion 10 the In come-small on small
incomes, large on large incomes. And apply
the same principle TO inheritances. Let there
be a small or nominal tax only on small IN
heritances, but let II grow in proportion to
theS amount of1the fortune. When a person
like Vanderbilt, for instonce can inherit by
the simple accident of death, fortune of
eighty millions OF dollars it,seemsn a outrage
that he should not pay one cent to the CIV
eminent which makes it possible for him 10
enjoy that royal fortune. In fact, the sudden
transfer OF so much wealth is equal 10 a revo-
luton made possible only through the pro &C.
tive power OF the Government. 1t is very
singular that in all monarchial and aristo-
cratic countries, where the rich and the pow
srful carry on the government, there should
be such a tax, while in the only country
where the people are supposed 10 govern
themselves there is none. When, the other
day, one of the comparatively poorer Roths-
shilds died. his son and heir had 10 give the
government before the will was probated, n
check for about a million of dollars. We do
not believe In catering TO prejudice against
the rich. But II those who are rich and for
Inmate cannot pay a direct tax for the pro-
lection and peaceable enjoyment of their
wealth, then, indeed, this is not The poor
man government, after all.

Grant and Ohio.
dayton Journal Rep).l


In saying that Grant is the only man
outside of Ohio who could certainly be re-
lied upon TO carry the State, We do not
wish to be understood as advocating his
nomination. We understand very well
that there is large sentimental objection
to third term in the Presidency. We al
so know that there is strong opposition
to him among the old Liberals as we'll as
straight Republicans. Nevertheless he is
80 positively popular, not only with his
party, but with Democrats, and especially
with the young generation who have grown
into manhood within the past ten year.,
who are fascinated with his character and
splendid military record, that We are i'm
pressed, whether We like it or not, that he
is to-day the strongest man for the Repub-
lican nomination in the nation.

that recently, on the Atlantic shore, up in

Teach The Pas scngcTs iSeyV to Use

FIODe Democrat, Ii
The fact that a number OF passengers on
the i'll fated Pomerania lost their lives
through ignorance of the proper method Of
wearing a lille prsserver has called atten-
ton 10 the necessity Tor instruction in the
Use OF that important machine on board all
passenger vessels. One OF the survivors Of
the Pomerania declares that while in one
o. the small boats near the sinking vessel
he noticed several people in the water with
life preservers on floating around head
downward. They had put the preservers
on below the waist, and having lost their
balance in the water were unable TO right
themselves, and SO were drowned by the
very means devised for their safety. The
officers Of every passenger vessel should
make it their duty to instruct their passen-
gers as to the location and use OF Lie pre-
servers. 1t has been suggested that the
ships physician should attend TO this i'm
portant matter, and the suggestion seems
good one. Now not two in ten of the peo-
pie who undertake an ocean voyage know
either where the ife-preserver Is placed in
their staterooms OF how TO put 1t on prop
