hear of men who have been enga.

investing in sheep. And men
who have dealt in nothing but

ANOTHER BOLD TRAIN ROB
Berry ON THE ALTON ROAD.

A few years ago when such an
affair as n train robbery occurred,
the people held up their hands
in holy horror and the mat
ter was talked Of for days, weeks
and even months. But nova
days such an, occurrence as the
stopping Of a railroad train,
plundering the express car rob-
bing the passengers Of their
money and Valuables and the kill
ing OF two or three men, causes
but a slight ripple Of excitement,
and the affair passes out Of mind
in a few days. Scarcely, however
had people recovered from their
surprise at the holiness and sue
cess of the Winston affair, when
the report reaches ms that anoth.
er and much holder train robbery
occurred on the Chicago & Alton
road three miles east Of Independ-
ance, Missouri, a week ago last
Wednesday evening. AS the
west bound passenger train was
nearing Independence. the engin-

gineer slowed up his engine and
stopped just in time to avoid run.
ming into a huge pile OF rocks
that had been placed upon the
track. At the same time twelve
or fourteen men sprang up and
surrounded the engine and ex.
press car. They compelled the
engineer TO break open the latter
with his coal pick, after which

ed over the head with q revolver
until he consented 10 open the
safe. The robbers only secured q
few hundred dollars in money.
They then went through the pas
senger coaches and compelled
every man and woman TO give up
their money and valuables-even
strippings rings from the ladies'
fingers. The robbers carried com
mon grain sack with them, and
into this were dumped the spolIs.
After the passengers had all been
robbed, they told the engineer he
might "drive ahead" II is the
opinion Of all that this is not the
worn Of the James boys. Most o.
them had the appearance OF agri
cult rists, and the opinion is rap
idly gaining ground that the farm
ers In that part of the State have
all turned highwaymen in ordel
TO get little pocket money. Tn,
reputation Of the State has neve
been the best, and two big traiI
robbers, accompanied by murder
within three months is not calcu
lated to increase respect for he
abroad.
LATER.-Four or FIVE Of the rob
bers. have been captured, an,

monopolieS with no other resistance than an
occasional growl but now and then some vic.
tim IA pugDacious enough to go to the courts
In defence OF his rights. and though the
wealthy corporations are able usually TO inter-
pose good many delays, yet when a trial Is
reached the decision is almost invariably ia
favor OF the passenger. When a legal test Is
made IT Is shown that most of the arbitrary
rules set up by the railway companies are en-
tlreiy Illegal. It was established I'm one OF
these cases that a railroad company has no
right to say that ticket Is good In only one
direction between two points. though 1t may
be so worded. Thus lt was declared that
ticket lettered as from Boston. to NV

IN other words, 1t was good for q ride between
the two cities In either direction. In regard to
the devices OF railroad and drawing room car
companies for escaping liability to passengers
for injury 20 person or loss OF property, 1t has
been lately decided by three courts tincluding
the IT. s. Supreme Court that the sufferer may
sue the railroad company, and that any con-
tract which that company may have with a
sleeper company Is private matter with which
the passenger has no concern. a passenger

HE Irish Difficulty.

II the features or the Irish land bill. which
has been prepared by the British government
for Introduction into Parliament, are correctly
given out, then 1t may be Set down as total
failure. SO far as It's effect towards alaylny the
agitation Is concerned. Its most liberal pro-
visions-Iberal from tie government view
only-fall very far short OF meeting the mini
mum demands Of the Land league. While the
cabinet have been unusually reticent In giving
out anything as to their discussions upon this
bill. the public, iL appears have learned enough
to look upon 1t with diSfavcr. There Is an I'm
preston. or rather opinion, that 1t Is OF the
milk and-water order, and that It will excite
more ridicule than opposition. How
far this isa Just conclusion is not likely to be
determined until the bill in all its provisions
shall be made public. The attitude of the
Gladstone government with regard TO the Irish
agitation, up to the present, warrants the con-
ciusi0n that IL will not make any such cOnces-
sions as the Land league has insisted upon
The demands OF the league would revolutiOnlze
the land system OF Ireland, and the Gladstone
government Is entirely too conservative to
enter upon such movement; but from some OF
the utteranCes OF Gladstone 1t has been hoped
that he would go far enough to open the
way, at least, for reform Of the abuses
under which the Irish tillers of the soil suffer

manner interfere with their privileges. If the
British government should offer TO the Irish
people anything in the way OF practical relief
it is more than probable IL would be accepted,
even though opposed By some OF the extreme
leaders OF the agitation. But for the govern
