81. LOUIS POSt-Disputcii'
The great number Of dangerous lunatics
now ut large in Washington is very natur-
ally exciting the attention of the people of
that town, who fear further crimes ut the
hands of those daft and irresponsible men.
Ever since Washington was made the seat
of government it has been the focus for the
floating insanity of the country. Madmcn
of every description have found there their
natural bourne, and many who would other
wise have been unable to go to the Capital
have been sent there rs q cheaper disposal
of them than paying their expenses ut home
asylums. This system of unloading has
gone on for years, and Washington to-day
has certainlya larger percentage of crazy
men within its limits than any other city
in the land. The proof of this fact is to
be founded upon every great occasion
in our city. Four lunatics presented
themselves to be inauguratcd ut Gar
fields Inauguration. More than II dozen
did the same thing at Grants last in
auguratiOn. When Nellie Grant was mar
ried six crazy mon turned up at tho White
House on the appointed day, each claiming
to be the groom. During the excitement
following the Nathan murder four Washing
ton cranks gave themselves up to the police
as the criminals. Some Of the lunatics of
Washington have already achieved Il ma
tional reputation. Colonel Pinchover, for
instance, and his Latapoe Canal scheme
have become famous. There are four Presi-
dents, three Kings, Queen and an En-
porer in the Washington Insane Asylum
and more than hundred mild mono
maniacs with financial schemes ut large
in the town. Instances might be
multiplied indefinitely Of these crazy
folk because since the attempt on the Presi'
dent the detectives have been active In
discovering just how much lunacy is loose
ut the Capital. With these madmen uncon
fined, all of them liable to change theil
mania at any time, no public man is safe
No one can say what sudden gust of mad
ness may turn their shattered minds toward
assassination, and the means of murder ar,
within the reach of every man. Unde
stress of great public excitement it would
be singular if Guiteau should not find no
one, but many disciples among the demente'
floating population of Washington. Some
thing will have to be done to abridge thi
danger. Assassination becomes epidemi
lust as suicide does, and the country canno
afford to lie at the mercy ofany maniac wit

Canada and Annexation.


The leading papers of the Dominion have
often denied the existence in Canada OF
any sentiment in favor of separation from
Great Britain and annexation to the United
States. Yet from time to time manifesto
tons appear which show that the Canadian
press does not entirely represent popular
opinion in this respect. This seems to be
particularly true Of the region just across
the Niagara River. A correspondent of the
Toronto Globe, writing from Niagara Falls,
Ontario, says that in his locality there is a
comparatively large number of annexation
lists. Moreover, the smaller papers some
times give expression to sentiments favor
ing independence or annexation such as the
leading party organs carefully exclude from
their columns.

rating his views upon the river question. He
asks us to publish 1t. A. Watson will please
excuse us. The public have had enough OF his
views Also of the views of his twin expert ~
B. Severson- This precious pair have done
mischief enough 10 District interests by button
holing and ear-wigging Congressman In oppo-
sition to every District measure that does not
provide place for A. Watson and Il. Sever5on
as engineering experts. Here, for instance Is
the effort made by our citizens to secure an
appropriation Of million dollars for the I'm
provement Of our harbor and the abatement of
the malar1al nuisance. In order to avoid any
delay through conflict OF projects, or allega.
lions OF interested motives, no particular plan
of improvement has been presented on behalf
OF the District. but Congress has been simply
asked to appropriate the money for the work
AID have IL executed by government
engineers; just as all similar work is done
on appropriations in the river and harbor bill
This meets the cordial approval OF citizens and
residents generally, who after all the years Of
talk about river improvement want to see
something done. But A. Watson and b. Sever
son object. The measure does not provide for
securing the engineering talent of A. Watson
and b. Severson, therefore 1t Is all wrong, and
they want Congress to understand that some
corrupt ring is working for It's adoption. They
don't know what plan the government en-.
g1neeTs may decide upon. but whatever 1t may
be they are prepared already to pronounce 1t
failure We're THE STAR to publish the selfish
long winded assaults OF these mischief makers
upon measure the people of Washington have
so much at heart 1t ought to be indicted for
wanton injury to District interests.

A Popular Loan.

The people of this country have not, even
Jet, become educated up to the belief that q
national debt Is a national blessing" but
while the debt exists 1t should be so ordered and
arranged that our own people may get as
much benefit from 1t as possible. In the
present prosperous condition Of the country our
national debt Is but light burden and 1t win
grow lighter each year, unless an unwise
effort to pay 1t off too rapidly shall be made.
The citizens OF q nation should be its creditors
rather than foreigners, when that Is practl-
cable. The people Of this country are glad to
Invest In U. s. bonds, and they should be given
every opportunity to do so. The working
classes would undoubtedly invest their small
savings In national bonds II there were any o.
these within their reach. An issue OF bonds OF
small denominations with a low rate of In
terest would gather the savings of the poor
and the laboring people into the Treasury
because OF the absolute security they would
offer. France emerged from one of its darkest
periods OF financial depression by means of a
popular loan. Congress has theorized upon
this subject but while confesslng the advan-
tages and benefits OF such policy, has never
done anything towards Its adoption. In Great
Britain even the penny savings can be invested
In government securities.

Sitting Bull has once more displayed his abil-
ity as tacician. In spite OF all the precautions
taken 10 prevent his escape, he slipped across
the border into British territory just at the time
when our troops believed they had him In a trap.
His proposals TO surrender were, apparently
part OF his plan of deception. Among the noted
Indian chiefs OF late years Sitting Bull and Vic
toria will be entitled to rank In history along
side Of Tecumseh.

The session OF the House which continued
through last night did not dispose Of any busi-

TO have had ''lots OF fun" Ii members OF Con-

Ing occasions would not occur so often.

The Mexican congress has adjourned to the
first OF April. During the session Just closed a
large number OF railway concessions were
granted, or. rather, the grants were confirmed,
to American capitalists. The administration
OF President Gonzales has thus far displayed
more ability and craftsmanship than Mexico
has been blessed with for some years past.
The purpose OF the present government Is ap.
parenty TO turn the peoples attention to the
development OF their country, and thus engage
them In something more profitable than politics
and revolutions.

Several bills have been introduced In the
Illinois legislature for the regulation of Pull
man palace car charges within the state.
While the right OF the legislature to limit the
rates OF this company Is generally conceded,
the opinion seems to prevail that there IS no
purpose, on the part OF the authors OF these
bills, TO pass them. In past legislatures. it is
said. the Introduction OF bills of this character
has never failed to bring to the state capital
certain gentlemen representatives of the Pull
man company who forthwith supplied the law
makers with small-s1zed cards emitting them
to all the privileges Of sleeping cars without
any charges whatever. The inyartable result
has been that these bills were not passed

President Of the Farmers National Bank,
Of this place. Among the first who answer
ed TO the call Of the Southers Confederacy
from this section was this gentleman. lie
entered the army as a private and after
serving as such for sometime, he was, ON
account Of gallant and heroic conduct,
promoted To the Capisincy Of Go. !. Of the
consolidated slh and 18th Regiments Of
Kentucky Cavalry. This Regiment was
under command Of Col. afterwards Gen.
erall Adam johnson, and at the time tina,
Captain Shanks was wounded was resisting
the advance of Colonel johnson, Of the
Federal Army, though Southwestern Ken
tucly. A severe little skirmish took place
at Grubbs' y Roads, some twenty miles
from IIopkinsville, in August. 1864, and
here Captain shsnks was shot in the right
side, the ball passing through his liver
and kidney and lodging in the muscles Of
his back, little TO the right Of the spinal
column, from whence il was afterwards eK.
traeted. Ills comrades offered TO take him
to the rear. but, feeling that he was bound
10 die, he told them TO put him in the
shade and take care Of themselves. lie
subsequently, fell into the hands VI the en-
envy, and, alter long time, a surgeon came
around who gave his wound short glance

says he saw by his expression that he re-.
carried his case as hopeless, and remarked
To him that he knew he was going to die
and begged him to give him enough NOR

seemed to be in his shoulder, so that his
death might be comparatively easy. The
surgeon did As requested, and for day or

lie was taken TO Hopkinsyills, and the
federals shortly afterwards leaving the
place, he was put in charge Of Drs. Gaines
and Lewis. local physicians, who attended
him until he was able TO 20 about. They
both agreed that the ball passed through
the liver and kidneys, in which opinion
they were backed by DIR. Field, Of the l..
