While there seems to be general dis
position among foreign powers across
the Atlantic to quarrel and fight, the
United States, with q small army scat
tered over q broad area, yet as able to
fight as any European power, knows how
to maintain and appreciate peace. We
have all the territory at present that we
need, and when it Is necessary to add to
our domain 1t will be by means of
peaceful purchase and not by the spoils
of war. Our citizens are interested in
the pursuit of knowledge and
happy homes. The sun may never set
upon the English possessions, her rule
may encircle the globe; but what she
has gained by the sword shall be lost by
the sword. Her power Is not lasting,
even though in the coming struggle she
should Overpower Russia. Colonies do
not care TO be subject to power that is
continually taxing them for men and
money for wars that do not benefit them.
Eastern kingdoms and monarchies are in
danger at their own hands. The great
effort on the part Of England and Rus
STA TO continually add territory to their
domains must eventually prove suicidal.
While these countries battle their hands
in blood, let this republic live In peace,
and eventually our supremacy will be
acknowledged by every country between
the poles.

New York Tribune: The president
has been worried a good deal by the
Central American difficulties, the Okla
homa boomers" the disabilities of Law
ton and Jackson, the Sweet case, the
Higgins episode, the fSctionsl disturb
ances in California, Louisiana and a
dozen other states, and by a score of
other matters; but they pale into insig-
significance in comparison with the ca
lamIty which now threatens to overtake
the administration in the second month
of its exisence-that is, the resignation
of General" William Andrew
Jackson Sparks, who says he
will not continue to be general land com.
missioner unless the civil service law
can be construed 80 as to give him
power to discharge the Republican off,
cials subordinate to him. The whole
bureau, he declares. needs "to be re-
organized"-which is Higginsese for
bounced" As the salary attached to
the place now occupied by General"
Sparks is $4,000 year, doubtless the
president would be able to fill 1t with
out much trouble-and with some one,
possibly, whose title Is not believed to
rest wholly on the service of the house
committee on military affairs.

Eagle: The new prohibitorY law pro-
vides that the probate judge shall receive
five cents for the filing of each applica-
ton for Intoxicating liquors, and that he
shall keep the same in his Office for two
years. Some druggists interpret this as
meaning five cents for the entire batch,
whereas many probate judges demand
five cents for each application. George
Simonds of Atchison, Saturday rendered
the probate judge of that city five cents
for 1T applications, but he was refused,
and the demand made for 1855. This
Mr.. Simonds refused to pay, and did not
leave his statements. Here will be a
good chance to test the question, and we
understand that the Atchison druggists
propose doing so.

When the tenement houses of New
York fell down the voice of the press In
general was that the contractor was to
blame and that immediate action should
be taken to prevent In the future any
repetition of this occurrence. When the
buildings fell man named Walters was
killed. The coroner's jury In its verdict
holds Chas. A. Ruddensieck, the con-
tractor, and his assistant, Franch, and
the building inspectors responsible for
Walters death, and asserts that the con.
tractor should receive the severest pun
ishmen that can be inflicted. The jury
also censures the city building depart
ment for retaining incompetent men and
urges that legislative action be taken to
put the department building under the
control of single responsible man. The
parties thus censured by the jury will
be arrested and held flor trial without
bail. The action of the authorities may
seem rather severe but it
is most commendabIe and it
is to be hoped will be lesson that will
prevent the further erection of clap-trap
houses in either our larger or smaller
cities.

Commonwealth: Gov. Martin has re-
ceived from some one a marked copy of
a newspaper containing an item to the
effect that the Sullivan Ryan prize fight
would come off in Dodge City, and that
the people of that city had promised the
sluggers protection from the law if they
would grace the place with their pres
ence and entertain the denIzens thereof
by scientific blows and pummelings. The
law against prize fighting in this state is
very severe, and those who have made
the promise have undoubtedly "bitten off
more than they can chaw." Upon re-
ceipt of the paper, Gov. Martin pro-
ceeded to the Office of the attorney gen
eral and gave him instructions to pre-
vent the occurrence of the fight, either
in Dodge or any other aspiring city of
Kansas. He supplemented his remarks
by saying that he would prefer to call
out the militia to prevent prize fight
than tor the purpose OF putting down a
railroad strike. Attorney General Brad
ford will take the necessary steps by
calling the attention of sheriffs, county
attorneys, mayors and other officers, to
the laws concerning prize fighting in
Kansas.

Wellington Press: Some days ago the
Press made mention that q mad dog had
visited the vicinity of South Haven,
biting several dogs, cattle and hogs, and
it was thought some few people. The
first to suffer from the effects of this
rabid dog are DR.. Walllng and son OF
South Haven. The dog referred to some
days ago, it seems, bit the dog belong
ing to the doctor. A few days after
this canine showed symptoms of
hYdrophobia and was promptly chained
up. In a day or two the dog showed
unmistakable signs of being mad. II
would have spasms, bite and snap at ev'
erything that came in its way. The doc.
tor ana his son had occasion to approach
the dog Wednesday, when it sprang al
them, and bef~re they could get out Of
the way the rabid animal bit each one
of them on The hand. They realized
their danger and at once started for the
mad stone at lola, passing through this
city Friday on their way there.

Globe Democrat: The trial of the NE
dunn Mott at Kansas City is bringing
out some very damaging, as we'll as lu-
dicrous things concerning his alleged
intercourse with departed spirits; but it
is doubtful if these revelations will mate

been duped by him. 1t is enc of the
peculiarities of the most of the believers
in the fantastic pretentions of men OF
his class that they make
up their minds to begin
with, and so resent adverse proof as a
mere wanton attack upon their cherished
convictions. They do not mean to be
dishonest or to deceive themselves; but
their attitude is one of studied defense

the doctors have said about the case. is
OF the opinion that 1t is not true cancer
OF any Sort but a nicotine ulcer, and

Heavy Floods In Southeastern Kansas
ST. LOUIS, April 23-DIspatches from
southeastern Kansas report the heaviest
rainfall since Tuesday that has
ever been known in that part of the
state. Oyer twelve inches of water Is
said to have fallen. Ali the level coun-
try is submerged and Is vast sheet of
water. Traffic on the Missouri Pacific
railroad for many miles each way from
Parsons is suspended, and a passenger
train which left Parsons yesterday on
the FIT. Scott s. Gulf road was wrecked
not far from town. A large number OF
hogs and cattle in the stock yards on the
Labette river one mile from Parsons, were
drowned, and It is said hundreds, perhaps
thousands of animals have been drowned
in the surrounding country. The streams
rose so rapidly and the water poured
down in such torrents that little If any
thing could be done in the way of res
cuIng livestock or securing other kind
of property. The fields sre devastated
in all directions, aud great destruction
of crops and movable property have oc-
CURED. A negro settlement near Par
sons was inundated, and many
of the people were rescued
only after great difficulty and
hard labor, with improvised boats and
other means. The Marmaton river,
which runs near Fort Scott, overlooked
its banks with a rush and submerged q
settlement of some 600 to 800 population,
known as North Fort Scott, the water
standing in many of the houses from
three to five feet deep. All the people
were rescued, however. The Missouri
Pacific railroad track is badly
washed out both ways from Fort Scott
and no trains have moved since Tues
day. The Wichita railroad is badly
washed away. A freight train on the
latter road went through q bridge at
Clear Water and Frank McDaniels, en-
gineer. was drowned. The fireman and
brakeman also went down with the train,
but they caught in tree and were res
cued. At last accounts the water was
subsiding, but it was still very high and
it will take several days for it to
run off. AdVIces from Kingmen con
firm previous reports of the flood there.
Great damage was done TO business
property In the town, and ten lives are
reported lost. Traffic on the Wichita
