Sir. johnson. of Plymouth church

Mr. johnson, of Plymouth church,
who will be remembered by many Kan
sans as moral reformer of peculiar unc-
ton, having delivered series of temper
ance lectures in this state some years
ago, has returned home after pro.
traeted absence in the interest of pop
ular sobriety, and has brought suit
against Mr.. Henry II. Highley-who Is
q co-laborer with Mr.. johnson in the
moral vineyard aforesaid-ln the sum
of 100000 for alternating the affections
of his wife, comely matron OF SO sum
mers. We believe that it will be con-
csded with practical unanimity thai
family men belonging 70 the ecclesias-
tical republic of which Mr.. Beecher il
the founder eau conserve and promote
the cause of morality quite as effectively
by remaining at home and fostering
their own eve lambs as by securing ths
mountains FOR the lost sheep of otbel
folds.

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
st. Louis Railway Register: The dis
cussIon of our future relations with Mex
leo can never become stale or unprofita-
BILE. The people of both republics are
too nearly allied in interest not so be
concerned in all that relates to each
other. So the numerous reports and let
tiers from those who have visited Mexico
are read with eagerness. There is little
danger of there being too much said
upon the subject. &
There is singular unanimity Of opIn-
ion IN the matter and, though occasion,
ally scoffing voice may be heard, it is
very seldom, for the great mass of our
citizens are convinced that Mexico is
rich in natural resources and that all
prudent investments of American capI.
tai within its bounds will be profitable.
There is an appropriateness in this ten
dency of capitalists to invest in Mexican
projects, for this is the nearest nation
and we are both republican in institu-
tions ADD sentiment. 1t was never meant
that Mexico should look tn the old,
etfete monarchies of Europe for assist
ance and friendship, and it is cause for
rejoicing that the iron bands which con-
meet the two countries will bind them
closely together in friendly alliance.
The American railroads are pushing
On with great celebrity and the Mexican
| people are meeting them in the right
spirit. T1e government has enlarged
the concessions already granted and has
given privileges and guarantees which
cannot fail to be perfectly satisfactory to
ali concerned There were fears tor a
tine in certain quarters that the masses
in Mexico could not appreciate their
new facilities and would be slow TO
give them patronage sufficient to put
them upon paying basis. 1t was also
thought that the country was too poor
for railroads. The skeptics are sllenc-
ed. John Bigelow, who contributed a
disparaging article to Harper's Month
ly, was quickly silenced, for he was SO
speedily proved to be wrong in his facts
and conclusions that his production was
received with shout of derision.
Not only have the Mexican railways
paid, but all factories and manufactur-
ing establishments started with Ameri
can capital have also been successful
The street railway, recently opened in
Monterey. city of 10000 inhabitants
has, during the few months of its op
Grafton, sufficiently demonstrated thai
1t will yield an annual profit of from 81
to so per cent upon the capital invested
in it. The Mexican people are by nc
means poor nor ignorant but are quick
to see the advantages of modern facil.
tiles and improvements and will use
them. The cities will soon all be lighted
with gas and provided with street cars
which American companies will fur
nish. Then there are the rich mines Of
that country to be developed.
Our commerce with Mexico will bring
much wealth into the United States anC
make our sagacious business men rich
Now is tbs opportune moment and the
merchants, manufacturers and capital
lists of this country must be alert and &C
} tive in order to secure the rich rewards
! which wise enterprise will surely be
/ stow upon them.

Passenger train No. 8, which arrives
at Emporia at O'Clock m, was de-
laYed ten hours Wednesday by wreck
which occurred shortly sitter midnight
at the east switch at Carbondale There
were all sorts of rumors afioat this morn
ing concerning the accident, the report
being circulated that Engineer Huston
had been killed. and that number of
persons had been buried under the
wreck. These. happily, proved un-
founded, the facts in the case, as we
learned them from a gentleman who
came from the scene of the wreck this
afternoon, being as follows: 1t seems
that during the heavy wind which
prevailed Tuesday night two freight
cars which were standing on the side
track at Carbonate were blown onto
the main track, and the third section OF
freight train No. 10, which was going
east at lively rate, ran into them, in

been built around the wreck which il
will take some time to clear away.
Immediately upon receiving intelli.
gence of the accident Train Master
Gardner and H. B. Morse boarded ar

ever been made on the Santa Fe, in
reaching the scene of the accident.
The train which arrived here this
afternoon stopped twenty minutes
for dinner and the fremont House
and Park Place fed a large number o.
hungry passengers, including some edi

pleased to learn that the injuries of tn,

that they were all able to be about TO

rHR"Boss" CArrLE COUNTRY.

Interesting Letter from Western Kansas.
To the Editors of THE NEWS.
VALLEY RANCH, COVE COUNTY, KAN
sAs, April 25.-Permit me through the
columns of your valuable paper to con
graduate some of your Lyon county
friends who were so fortunate as to Sc
cure two of the most valuable cattle
ranches in western Kansas, located in
the above named county in the valley OF
the blackberry.
Messrs. james and Mahan of AmerI-
Gus, took trip last February just after
the severe storm reported, looked over
several counties to satisfy themselves
thoroughly as to western Kansas
being the "boss" place to hold stock
In company with these gentlemen we
visited a number of ranches, saw q
many herds of cattle on the range and
as seeing IS knowing, they concluded
that western Kansas was, in fact, the
''boss" stock country of all theirs. To
see cattle fat enough for beef in the
month of February is a stubborn con-
vincing fact for such men as Messrs.
James and Mahan, who are extensive
stock men in Lyon county. Upon the
strength OF the above they saw fit to
purchase two No. ranches
and have recently shipped four car loads
of fine cattle which are now grazing
upon the nutritious Buffalo grass.
They intend shipping to the number
of five hundred. The idea of feeding
six months of the year has exploded,
when here they Craze the entire year
and never see anything to eat, but this
beautiful nutritious Buffalo grass"
This county is fast filing up with
such cattle men, and, predict, that
within two years there will be no room
for others.
l need not enumerate the profits in
raising cattle out here. The facts are
astonishing, and men of small capital
even grasp the opportunity and invest
their "bottom dollar" in stock, KNOWN g
there is nothing more paying. Western
Kansas has this grand advantage of
which it can feel secure.
|. Ye "grangers' till the soil where il
pays. Ye '.stockists' hold stock when
it pays. go west young man with
your few head of stock and grow up
with the country"

From the New Yorl. Deaf Mute Journai. !

From the New York Deaf Mute Journni.
The Virginia Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb aud Blind has become sort of shuttlG-COck
that is tossed first into the hands of QUO political
party aud next into the hands Of another. Just
previous Ia the election in Virginia the muttcr-
ings of distant thunder were in the air, and tho
first crash lifted the steward from his chair and
launched him in the cold. But Mr.. Davis does
moi take his election in q very quiet or philo-
sophical way. and is informing the public through
the press of some of the inside workings Of the
institution. He charges that the money appro-
priated for the education of the deaf mutes and
blind, has been squandered in whiskcy and cigars
which were furnished the Board Of Visitors. Be-
sides this he asserts land gives igurcs that some
of those who had control of tho institution have
been furnishing supplies at price far above what
would have been charged by ether parties
'Thc St0nnton indicator contains some very
ugly statements of extraordinary expenditures,
one of which is nearly four hundred tons Of coal
was bought from Il member OF tho Board of Fisi-
tors. at -. 10 per ton, when bid had been made
to furnish tho coal for So % per ton. The blame
is said to rest with tho Principal of the institu-
ton who connived at the unscrupulous method OF
plundering the State. All the above is Mr.. Davis
version of the matter as it appears IN three or
four columns of the Iindicntor. We have not seen
the other side, so cannot form an opinion rs 10
the real state of affairs.
''Onc thing however, is sure; the politicians
and their allies arc securing the benefits OF money
that has been appropriated for tho education OF
the deafand dumb and blind children of the State,
and the sooner the virtuous public rises up and
wines out the disgrace upon the State, the better
it will be for them and the unfortunate children
who are being robbed to satisfy the raveuous
appeties of a horde eff petty politicians
