Hard to get Over.

Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Jr., made a speech
on the tariff question at Twinsburg, Ohio, in
which be went into the records of existing
parties on that question. His speech is one
Of the sblest we have seen and we don't be-
lieve 1t can be answered. To prove one of
his many impregnable positions on the pro-
lection of home markets he draws parallel
between Kentucky and Ohio. We make
the following extract which Democrats can't
even fail 10 ace the force Of:
What the people of this country should
do is to maintain its home markets, to keep
up this great army Of consumers that buy
your wheat and your corn. And the only
possible way you can do it is by maintaining
a protective policy that will sustain the in
duaries Of the country, which in turn en-
ploy the labor of the country. Tell me why
If is that farm in Summit county is worth
more than farm in Dakota Ter
ritory, for example The lands in
Dakota are just as rich rs the lands
in Summit; they're just as productive MS
the lands in Summit; their fields there are
just as fruitful as our fields. Why is it that
100 acres of land there are not worth AS
much as 100 acres in Summit county. Why,
If is manifest to everybody that the reason is
that you have got manufactures all about
you, all around you, upon every side, crowd
ed with laboring men that raise nothing for
themselves. and are compelled to buy the
necessities of life from you. Dakota is far
removed from this great consuming popula-
ton. That is the reason. Why, look at the
two States of Kentucky and Ohio for an
other example. You have been In Ken
eucky. You know that many of the farms
in that State are Just as rich in soil as the
farms in Ohio. There is but river that d.
ydes these two great States-only a river
And yet in Kentucky, according to the last
Federal census, the average price per acre all
over that State was but $780,, while the
average price per acre in Ohio was S45.97.
Now, what is the reason for the difference
Why is il that the land in Kentucky is not
ms valuable as the land in Ohio There is
but one reason for it--Ohio is filed with
manufacturing establishments. Ohio has
believed in the doctrine of protection that
has opened up the mines and encouraged
development of the state, and has built up
busy industries in every section of it, while
Kentucky they have no manufacturing, no
busy industries compared to ours. Take
Virginia and Pennsylvania. Virginia is
one of the oldest settled states: she is rich in
mineral wealth; some of the most product
i've soil there is in the country is in Nir-
ginia. They can raise ANYTHING there that
can be raised in Pennsylvania And vet
the average price per acre of land in Nir-
ginia in 1850 was but SlO.S9. while
the average price price per acre in Pcnnsyl-
vana was S49.30 Now, what is the reason

THE RAILWAY WRECK.
Train Robbers in Kansas Again.

Our yesterday morning dispatches noted
briefly IN attempt made to wreck train
near Emporia. From the Topeka papers We
get fuller and more satisfactory account.
The following is the bricfest account. and is
from the Capital:
Early Sunday morning the north bound
freight on the Santa Fe which leaves Empo-
ria soon after the south bound passenger ar
rives. was wrecked at a point about a mile
this side of the Missouri Pacific Junction
and Joseph c. Scott, the fireman, was killed.
The accident was, from all the evidence, the
result of deliberate attempt by robbers TO
wreck the passenger train which had Just
passed. The robbers bad placed tie dag
onaily across the track fastening it in cat
tie guard so that one end of the piece of
timber stuck up above the track. BY this
means they hoped 10 throw the pas
senger train from the track and down the
embark nent, which at that place is nearly
forty feet high. The train however passed
over the obstruction in safety, owing TO the
fact that the tie did not reach high enough
to touch the engine or cars. Conductor
Mallory. ofthe passenger train, heard sever
al shots fired as tha train passed that point
and rocks were thrown into the windows of
the last car Ii is believed that il was done
bv the robbers, who expected the train to go
down, and did the shooting to create confu
sion.
The north-bound freight, a few minutes
later. came to the same point and the trucks
being lower than those of the pa ssenger the
engine struck the tie which was still on the
track. The engine at once left the track
and rolled down the embsnl1nent followed
by seven freight cars Home. Yates, the
engineer, stuck to his engine and was not
seriously hurt further than several bad
bruises. Hacketv, the head brakeman,
Jumped on one side. and Scott, the fireman,
Jumped on the other, the engine following
and crushing him as it rolled down the enl-
hankment Conductor John Bsrthwan and
the head brakeman stuck to the caboose and
were severely jolted but not injured. Scott.
the fireman, was found under the tender af-
ter the wreck. msngled almost beyond rec
IGNITION.
The wrecking train went out Sunday, and
replacing the engine and broken cars, brought
them TO the shops for repairs.
Yesterday n,orning the body Of the unfor-
tunate fireman was brought TO this city snd
placed in the morgue at Undertaken Stoker's,
where il awaits burial Scott WAS about
thirtv-fve wears Of age. and leaves divorced
wife and five little children. For the pas,
two years he has been resident of Topeka,
and has been firing for Engineer Yates for
more than year. The parents Of the de-
ceased man live at Valley Mills, Indiana.
and yesterday they were notified by tele-
graph Of their sons death.
II is believed the obstruction was placed
upon the track by train robbers and As soon
as they saw that il did not wreck the passen-
ger they LEFT. Near by the scene ofthe acci-

WHOSE OK?

The Democrats are making II terrible ado
over the fact that James G. Blaine married
his wife the second time because Of the sup
posed illegality Of the ceremony. The
Democrats, at least the old mossbacks who
are still voting for General Jackson, can
hardly fail to remember that old Hickory
thought she was not properly divorced
when the first ceremony was spoken and
that jackson was forced to drag his family
affairs into public notoriety and to make
substantially the same explanation made by

Kidney COMPLAINTS,

The kidneys form very important channel
for the outlet Of disease from the system, car
rying off accumulations that poison the blood.
AS the lungs remove the carbonic acid, the liver
the hillary acid, so the kidneys remove the
uric acid The undue accumulation Of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
and other chronic diseases. The kidneys are
often affected and cause serious disease when
least suspected. If there is weakness, heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of the
urine, a hot dry skin, and hectic Pushes, bloat-
ing of the body or swelling Of the limbs, annoy
nS headaches, INSTRUCTED circulation, with sed-
iment or graveiy or albuminous deposits in the
secretion from the kidneys; or if that secretion
be either extremely pale or high colored, then
the kidneys are evidently not doing their natura
work. Many suffer from serious kidney trouble
without knowing what ails them Nomatter in
what form the kidney complaint may exist
there is no better purifying regulating diuretic
and tonic, than Burdicks Blood Bitters; its &C
ton upon the kidneys is at once manifested
Working upon this and all other channels OF
publication in prompt and permanent manner.

Big Robbery in Chicago.

Last Saturday about o'clock in the after
noon Paymaster G. S Bartlett, Of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad, LETT his Office
for lunch without taking the precaution to lock
the combination of the big safe, in W hich the
moneys for the payment Of the employees were
deposited On leaving the room he did SO
without waiting tho return Of other attaches Of
the office, who had gone: TO lunch. Before his
return the safe was robbed OF all it's contents
except some packages of nickels and some
small change, the total amonns dis
appearing, as nearly as can be esti-
mated, being $4,000. On the facts
becoming known an Investigation was had, and
Pay1naster Bartlett was discharged from the
service Of the company for negligence, and the
affair was placed in the hands of the detectives.
An effort was made to keep the matter secret in
tho hopes that the detectives would thereby be
facilitated in their work, but the affair becon-
ing known and in the belief that exaggerated
statements would be published concerning the
robbery, the officials showed q willingness that
the exact facts be furnished the public. The
theory advanced by the treasurer of the COM
pany is that the robbery was accomplished by
sneak tlief. -
