BRAGLEY z. JOHNSON.

There were some curiosities about the
Democratic ratification meeting at
Washington, ID. C, which are worthy of
special notice.
At this meeting General Bradley T.
johnson, of MarYlsnd, was one of the
speakers. 1t Is said of him that he re
viewed the victories of the Democratic
party under some Of It's great leaders,
and said that the occasion now before
the American people to take control of
the government was more important
than when Thomas jefferson called the
people to arms and jackson led them.
Abiding to the nomination of Blame,
the speaker said that the Republican
party had made a proper and appropriate
nomination. They gave to the country
of all men the very exemplar and expo
nent of their principles.
Mr.. Bradley T. johnson was exactly
right in saying that the Republicans had
placed In nomination the very man who
was an exemplar and an exponent OF
their principles and Mr.. johnson might
have gone further and have told how
when he was q: the head of the Mary
land line OF the confederate forces, do
ing his best to destroy the Union, James
G.. Blaine was giving the best energies
of his life to deYlsing means to save it.
Mr.. johnson does not omit
to say that the occasion now
before the American people to take
control OF the government is important
but he does omit TO say that it was
equally important in 1861, and that af-
ter a cruel and exhaustive war in which
he was exceedingly active on the wrong
side, the American people did take
control Of the government, that they
have held it ever since, and purpose to
continue their hold In the elevation oil
the PIumed Knight to be commander in
chief.

Ren RntIar TaIha

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Between $1,000
and 10000 people assembled at Union
Square to night to hear Gen. B. F. But.
Ter speak. 1t required the services OF
half dozen policemen to make pas
sage way for the general to reach the
stand. He was loudly cheered. The
crowd was composed largely of laboring
men. DR.. Ferdinand Zeiger called the
meeting to order and introduced Louis
F. Post as chairman of the evening.
Post, in a brief address, introduced
"That great American governor, Gen. B
F. Butler" The cheers that greeted the
general as he came TO the front con
tInued several minutes.
The speaker devoted his attention
chiefly to a consideration of the subject
of railroad monopolies and their intlu-
ence on inter commerce, and ar
gued that laws should be passed by con-
gress to regulate this traffic, by which
the food of the west and the comforts Of
the east should be interchanged at the
cheapest rate.
Gen. Buffers speech evoked great ap
plause and the crowd wanted him K
continue.
AS he receded the chairman introduced
ex-senator Thos. F. Grady, as the littlt
Napoleon of the Sixth the silver tongues
orator of Tammany hall, out of which
he had come to go in for Butler. WheI
Butler retired the meeting gradually
| dispersed.

A PAIR OF REaurIEs

Miss Ida Moore, whose talent in many
ways is so we'll known in EmporIa, has
on exhibition in Miss Plumb's book
store, two oil paintings copied from
steel engrayIngs, which, as pieces of art,
show at once an originality and individ-
uality IN coloring. and skill in the use
of the brush which are a credit to the city
of Emporia. Delicate shades and heavy
colorings which make at once strength
and grace are harmonized with rare
delicacy, aud considering the fact that
Miss Moore never saw these pictures in
color, great credit is due her originality.
The one is painting of THE Admiral y
taken from Harper's Bazaar, for Feb
ruary. The other, 1.-THE Girl That I
Know" from Harper's Christmas for
1882. The original of the latter Is from
the living brush of Deilmsne. Ad-
mirers of art and lovers of the beautiful
in Emporia have watched with interest
for the past few years the budding of
Miss Moore's genius, and 1t will be q
source of qualification to the people here
to see more of her work.

can be vacated was not before the court

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Mr.. Kemp Shaw, a young man just
from Maryland. was killed by freight
train at midnight Monday at Strong
City. Yesterday noon he secured from
Train Master Burgess situation as
brakeman on an extra freight train, and
met his death on his first TRIP in Kansas,

About midnight, Monday, it 10 sup
posed that as he was lowering himself
to make coupling, he lost his balance,
or loosed his grip and fell beneath the
cars, which were going at the rate of
about ten miles an hour. No one knew
it for several hours afterward al
though he was missed. No
search was made as it was not thought
that an accident haG happened, and sup
posing that he was safe and sound on
top of some car. He was thrown in
such position that the engine of the
next passing train hit him again and
knocked him in heap on the stone bal
last on the road bed. This was not
known, however until this morn
ing, when the engineer, upon be-
ing questioned said he remember
ed that his engine struck
something at the place stated, knocking
it one side, but it was so dark he could
not see what 1t was. The marshall of

THIEFDOH.

New York City just now is greatly ex-
ercised over certain disclosures that are
being made by the daily papers in that
city concerning organized gangs of
thieves who manipulate all parts of the
great METROPOLIS, and organized gangs
of wharf rats or river pirates who ply a
similar vocation along the river front.
The great increase of "floaters" / e.
dead bodies, found in the waters of the
North and East rivers recently have
gwen ghastly testimony TO the internal
work of the river pirates II appears TO
be the custom with this class of thieves
for one of their number To make observa-
tions during the day as to the course of
action to be taken by the gang at night,
and toe work Is so cunningly performed
that vessels which are selected TO be op.
Grated on rarely fail to weld a rich crop
of vAluables. Opposition Is always
met with the bludgeon or the knife
the pistol being discarded az
liable to give an alarm that would bring
down the police. Itappears further that
the hAunts of these river pirStes-theiI
dwelling places in fact-are under the
piers, aud that In these terrible caves
some of which connect by passage ways
leading TO the ground above, they drink
gamble and carry on all the vices of life
The remedy proposed for thus coudi
tion of things is costly one but il
probably the only etfectual plan that cal
be adopted. The police are almost Ut
terlY powerless to cope with the evil.

EEAXSEED

1t lie shown by carefully prepared sta
tistics that the cultivation of fiaxseed
In the west aud northwest has increased
fully three hundred per cent during The
past five wears. Chicago, 1t appears, has
now seven fl4xseed mills with a total o!
sixtY-three presses, and a capacity Of
using 1890 600 bushels of seed snnu
ally.
The crop for 1884, which is now com
ing forward, Is estimated at about 1000,
600 bushels, being an increase of 1850,
600 bushels over the yield OF the pre-
vIous year. This increase has beer
made mSinlY in Minnesota and Dakota
with only n slight increase In the south
western states. The figures given above
show very important agricultural in.
dustry aud one about which very
little is said. Chicago appears at pres
enl TO b. the center of the fax seec
trade, and being tributary to the fiaA
producing sections, is very naturally the
market to which the great bulk of the
fax seed fiuds its way.
Eastern capitalists havS not been SLOW
to appreciate this fact. and as a result
numerous eastern millS have decided &c
establish branch agencies at Chicago
This will produce a healthy competition
between eastern buyers and home manu-
faciurers which will be largely in the
interest of the producers and 1rst-hand
shippers; and be of advantage to the
trade generally.
