After paying handsome compliment
to Kansas congressional delegation, the
Atchison Champion points to some of
the needed legislation of the country,
and to some that isn't needed, concIud-
ing: Briefly, then, we advise the Kan
sas representatives in congress TO OPP
pose all subsidies, no matter on what
plausible pretense they may be urged ;
TO favor large reduction in internal
revenue taxation and custom dues on ar
ticles of general use and necessity; and
to oppose all attempts to reduce the tax
alton on liquors and tobacco. This
ought TO be the general program of the
Republicans in congress, and if il is
adopted they can depend upon the APP
proval of the country.

Philadelphia Inquirer: The Republi-
can party will want no better record
against the Democrats in 1884 than that
when in 1882 1t tried to destroy the prac.
tice of polygamy in the territories the
Democrats tried to prevent the success
of that effort. II the Democrats propose
to inscribe polygamy upon their banner
let them do it, for there are more than
enough reputable voters in half the
states to bring defeat to any party with
such an issue. 1t Will be worth remem-
bering that of the forty.two votes against
the bill in the house, forty-one were
those of Democrats. In the senate also
the only votes against it were those of
the members of the same party.

Globe Democrat: Secretary LincOin's
"oilicial" estimate OF the number of per-
Sons made destitute by the Mississippi
overflow is quite within bounds. He
places 1t at 50, 900. mainly IN Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas. 1t is impcssi-
BILE to get exact information upon this
point, so great is the extent of country
in which more or less suffering is found,
but those who are distributing rations
are in a position TO closely approx,
mate the truth. 1t is certain that the
destitution has not been overestimated.
Among those who apply to the relief
officers are many idle and shiftless per-
sons, but this fact ought not to blunt the
edge of the general sympathy for the
worthy people who have lost their
homes and their property.

Crop Prospects in Kansas

KANSAS CITY, March 21.-From all
over Kansas come reports of the most
flattering character in relation TO the
crop prospects. Wheat is at least a
month in advance of the season and
never looked better. The unusually
mild winter and frequent rains have Civ
en- the plants an opportunity 10 spread
and strengthen their roots, and now, as
the weather grows warmer, the blades
are pushing rapidly, giving promise of
d bonntiful harvest. Much of the spring
grain has been sown, and large breadth
of corn ground plowed, and in some in
stances corn has been planted. TIE
fruit prospects are most encouraging,
and unless unlocked for cold spells occur
there is every reason TO anticipate a
iruit crop SO abundant as to compensate
in a gOpd degree, at least, FIR the almost
total failure Of last wear.

shipherd Again Before the Investigating
Com mItteS.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The exam
nation of Shipherd was resumed this
| morning. Shipherd produced a copy
of his letter to the president dated April
2Sth, 1881, alluded 10 in his testimony
yesterday. In this letter Shipherd states
the interests of his clients in Peru are SO
great as TO entitle them to consideration
in the discussion Of any plans affecting
the future,of the PROSTATE republic. He
further states the purpose of this note is
that the decision of the appointment of
ministers to Chilli and Peru shall be re-
served until the facts relative to the
claims of the Peruvian company shall
haYe been laid before the president.
Shipherd states he had not yet found the
letter of May 21st, but had written his
son to make a copy and send it to him
and he expected to lay it before the COM
mittee in few days.
Kasson asked if the witness knew any
instance in which Hurlburt's official &C
ton had been purchased.
Shipherd, replied that in the state
ments he made yesterday he spoke from
his knowledge of events that occurred
his notice AZ the time and from which he
had formed his opinion of HurlbuTt. In
connection withthis opinion and in furth-
er reply 10 inquiry he called attention to
the decicion of the United States su-
preme court in the case of Clark against
the United States in u hich il was shown
that Gen. Hurlburt, while in the service
of the United States at New Orleans, &C
cepted bride.
Representative Kasson then asked If,
in all his (witnessD correspondence with
General Hurlbut, the latter ever init
mated he desired to have an interest in
the Peruvian claim.
Answer-"No, sir, he never did"
The witness stated in further reply
that no officers of the United States, in
the diplomatic service or otherwise, ev.
er expressed any desire or listened to
any proposals for an interest in the
claim of the Peruvian company.
The witness was then asked by Kas-
son, who now holds the Landrew claim,
and replied:
at is now held by Americans, bat
could not, without violating private con-
fidences disclose the names of the par
ties.D
The legal name of his (Shipherd's)
company, the witness stated, is the
Peruvian company Incorporated under
the laws of Washington. During the
examination to-day, Shipherd stated the |
only official or officer of the UuiSsd |
States government who has received q |
fee from the Peruvian company, is WIN. |

TIE BLUE-CUr GANG.
a Good Prospect of the Arrest of the
Train Robbers.

A Good Prospect of the Arrest of the
Train Robbers.
INDEPENDENCE, No, March 19.-The
prospects now seem favorable for the
capture of the entire gang of outlaws
who committed the Blue-Cut train rob
berry last September, with the probable
exceptions of the leaders-Jesse James,
Dick Little and Jim Cummings. Ever
since the robbery experienced detectives
have been working on The case in this
immediate vicinity, aud to-day John
Deputy Marshal Holland, at the instiga-
tion of w. W. Gorham, the detective
who run down the Waggoner murder
case at Kansas City So successfully a
few months ago. Matt is a resident of
the Cracker Neck neIghborhood, and
while he has never before been charged
with any serious criminal offense, yet,
like Land, Burgler and Chapman, his
indicted pals, he has always borne the
reputation OF bad character. Gorh2m,
the detective, came to this county TO work
up the Waggoner case, and as soon as his
success in that became known he was
employed by the United States Ex-
press and the Chicago & Alton rail
way companies to work up the Blue
Cut cases. He had been at il but short
time when he gained sufficient evidence
to warrant piping Matt, and said piping
has resulted In his arrest as above stat
ed. He says that while the proofs he
has against Matt are not such as can be
made public al this time, yet the robbery
and his conviction is absolutely certain.
Matt has been station agent and tele
graph operator of the c. s A, at Glen
dale, for some time past, but II few days
| ago resigned, and was making arrange
ments To leave the country. The detec-
tive was, however, posted as To his in
tentions, and, in company with Deputy
Holland, procured warrant at mid
night last hight and effected the capture
just in the nick of time. Matt was
found asleep at his mothers house, in
| Cracker Neck, and arrested without diff
| ficulty, and conveyed to the county Jail
in this city. This afternoon he was
taken before Justice Shelley for exami-
nation, but waving prelim mary trial,
was bound over in the sum II $4,000 for
| appearance before the grand jury. He
| succeeded in giving bail and was releas-
ed. Prosecuting Attorney Wallace will
make application for a special grand
jury, so that there may be no delay in
the trial. The evidence against Matt is
said to be fully as strong as that against
Land, Chapman and Burgler, whose
trial for the same offense comes off on
the 9th proximo. The arrest occasioned
an immense stir in Cracker Neck, as
/ well as in this CITY.

There are now 1909 registered voters
in Kansas City. II is quite safe 10 say
that at least 1000 failed to have their
names placed on the lists from one cause
or another-Kansas City Journal.
Counting five for each voter, it is ev:-
dent the population of Kansas City Is
not as large as is claimed by the papers.
If there are only S.2O2 voters, the popu-
lation would be only about Al, 900, in
stead of $4,000 to $4,000, as is often esti-
mated by the local papers.

The young Republicans of PhilSdel-

They are more for the good of the whole
party than they are for politics and boss
es. They intend to take an active part
in the selection of delegates TO the state
convention. They resolved at their
monthly meeting held Wednesday, that
it was important to select men OF high
repute and standing" for this duty, "who
will fairly and acceptably represent the
intelligence and character of the party,
and who, in making nominations for
governor and other state officers. will
earnestly labor to frame a ticket which
will command the undivided support of
the Republicans"

Horrible RaiIroad Accident.

NEwCoMERsTowN, o., March ia
shocking accident occurred on the
Cleveland 81 Marietta railroad near
Wesley, Ohio, last night, which resulted
in the injury of thirteen passengers,
several of whom, it is feared, cannot re-
cover. AS the outbound passenger
train approached the bridge a few miles
below Wesley the spreading of the rails
threw the coach from the track down an
embankment, injuring every passenger
in the car. Conductor Chas. Lagrange
was horribly cut and gashed about
the head, and his discovery is dispaired
of. Mrs. Williams, colored lady, had
both arms and legs broken and three
ribs crushed in. Her recovery is consid-
cred almost impossible. Mr.. Robertson,
of the Hammar Stove Works, sustained
serious, and it is feared, fatal injuries,
his body being badly mangled. A lady
passenger, was horribly burned by the
fire from the stove being hurled upon
her, and Ten others had arms and legs
broken, and received other injuries. At
this hour, p. m, it is reported that the
three 50 seriously injured have died.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Several

he fully appreciated Crooks ability and
services, but could not promise the ap-
pointTnent. as there are two or three in
the army above Crook in rank, and he
did not like 10 jump him over their
heads. He said il would crafty him
personally to advance General Crook.
and he would certainly give his claims
