CIeveIand,s Candidacy.

New YORK, June 25 The Suns editor
ial this morning says: Under Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration the Democratic party
in New York has become weaker and less
effective organization than when he re-
ceived its nomination for Governor. Be-
sides, friends OF Cleveland were not sufii-
GENTLY numerous to make him the choice of
the Saratoga Convention These are not
truths to be denied 1t would be an incal
culable blessing if they were not truths at
all. For if to-day the Governor of New
York could surely count on a majority
of $4,000 in this state, he was the sort OF a
man before whom opposition faded rather
than grew. Nothing in the range Of posi-
bilities could prevent his election in No
vember. But, alas, such is not the case
and the sooner our contemporaries recog-
nizes this the better. Still, if the choice
should fall upon Cleveland, the Democrats
can make mighty hard fight for him, and
he may possibly win, but we indulge in no
illusions in regard to the unquestionable
wisdom Of his candidacy.

MORNING STAR WRECKED,
Being the Third Lost of It's Name,
Belonging to the sunday school.

Boston, June 25 "A private dispatch
dated Hong Kong, June 23, announces the
total loss of the missionary brig Morning
Star at Kusaie. All on board were saved,
and are ell route to San Francisco by the
steamer Oceanic. The Morning Star was
a vessel of Isl tons. She was the third of
her name, the first having been launched
about thirty years ago. Kusaie is the
island on which the second Morning Star
was wrecked in 1869, when strong cur
rent drifted her ashore in q calm. The
Morning Star was owned chiefly by the
Sunday school children of the Congrega-
tional Church. The money to build each
one Of these vessels was raised by giving
a neatly printed certificate of ownership in
her to each child who contributed twenty
five cents. A new vessel, designed to take
the place OF the brig, is already on the
stocks at Bath, Maine. 1t will be neces-
sary for the Board to charter a vessel at
Honolulu to attend to the work Of the pres
ent year in Micronesia.

tectipg care, after they had been deserted by
their partners in crime, that when elected

things were conducted. Ny hostess, Mrs.
Laura b. Fields, late state president Of the
W. c. I. T., kindly accompanied me. As
she spoke OF the great work never ceasing
going on, under manifold difficulties, u feel
ing Of shame rushed over me, when | re-
membered how careless we of Wichita had
been in rendering assistance. In our quiet
chat with the sweet-faced matron i learned
there were then some eleven girls between
the ages of eleven and sixteen years soon to
assume the awful responsibility of an i'm
mortal soul. Seven infants were being cared
for; also, a poor German woman with an
infant four DAYS old, widowed while cross
ing the ocean to her adopted home. l do
not recall the present number of inmates,
but II is seldom under fifty, adults and child
rem This matter being laid before our
members it was resolved that we invite our
friends in the county and city TO donate po-
tatoes, apples, canned fruit, pound packages
of groceries, cast off garments (which can
be rernodeled at the Home), or anything that
would be useful in meeting the wants of such
a household. We are confident, from past
favors shown, that the railroad managers viii
transport all boxes and barrels free Of charge.

one put his money into printing office and
into home. The other gentleman put his
money into cheap lots and lands, since which

waiting for Others to make his property val
liable, and to-day be is rich man. The
other still possesses his home and his interest
in the printing office, both increased little
in value, and that is all. But there is this
difference; one has lived such selfish life
that his own party would not be brought to
consent that he should have even the post

THE TOWN OF HAzLEToN

Rev. j. o. Hszleton, founder of the new
town of Hazleton. and Mr.. A. }. McPhee
also Of that fiourishing young city, arrived
here Yesterday morning on business con-
nected with their town. In an interview
with an EAGLE reporter, Mr.. Hazleton, stated
that he had formerly lived in Buffalo, \. y,
that his health had been so poor for num-
Der of years that be had dispaired of ever
beng fit to attend to any business. In this
condition he came to Kansas ten months
ago. He regained his health SO rapidly in
our salubrious climate that he determined to
make his home here. He pre-empted sec
ton of land in Barber county, about
half way between Harper and Medicine
| lodge and there founded the embryo city
that hears his name The town was organ
/ lied about the beginning of June last and
now numbers about 200 inhabitants.
The Young city contains many very fine
/ buildings. CHIEF among which is an elegant
stone block built BY Fisher Bros, of Brad
ford. Pa. al a cost of $4,000. These gen
tlemen have established bank here with
cash capital of $4,000. A fine frame schoo
building costing $4,000 has just been finished
and is opened as a high graded school, OF
college known as the "Hazleton Collegiate
Institute" presided over by one Of the mos
accomplished educators IN the country
Prof. Ii. c. Bosley, late OF Bradford, Pa. The
proceeds from the sale of 40 acres Of The
town site will be applied to endow the col
lege. Mir. Hazleton says that the progres:
of their city has been greatly retarded IL
consequence of some parties having jumped
! the claim on which il is situated; thus rem
dering the title to all lots disputable. The
matter has just been amicably adjusted, and
| II was in that connection that the two gen.
tlemen were here yesterday. Now that thi;
impeachment to its progress has been remov-
ed and the engineer corps of the Southern
Kansas road are laying off the grounds for
their depot there, they expect big boom
The regular passenger trains of that road
now run to Atica, fifteen miles distant from
the new town. Mr.. Hazleton says the tow
occupies beautiful site on a gentle emf
nence three miles from Medicine river.
