SPAIN.
Days of the Spanish Premier's Re-
gime Drawing to a Close.
The Country on tho Verge of Revolution
Don Carlos Intriguing.

LONDON, September 13.-However the
Carolines dispute is settled, the Ministry
of Premier Canovas Del Castillo is doomed.
He has instituted prosecutions against
thirty y-nine newspapers within five days.
He has suppressed every telegram to
provincial newspapers and doctored all
dispatches sent abroad. Although all
Europe rings with the news, it is not yet
known in Madrid that Spain has already
humbly apologized to Germany for the at
tack made last week upon the German EN-
bassy in Madrid. Senior Canovas has also
mortally offended the Spanish
navy by limiting that the Car
olines were lost through cowardice,
while it has been proved that the naval Off
GERS only obeyed orders, which were doubt
less distasteful, but were still imperative.
An audience was granted to General Sala
manca last Thursday. The King de-
ciared that war with Germany would be
the height of rashness. If driven to bay
Spain would only rupture diplomatic rela-
tions and would then await events. Gen
eral Salamanca replied that war was in
evitable, sooner or later; that Bismarck
would never forgive the insults and oppo-
sition he had received from Spain, and that
war was preferable to mere diplomatic
views by reminding His Majesty that
revolution was among the possibilities, and
that there might be a sudden cooling of the
hot wave of patriotism now sweeping the
country. The dispatch containing the
above statement was suppressed at Madrid
last Thursday, and has only just reached
London, via Hendave. Other dispatches
received by the same round about course

Smothered to De ath.

CINCINNATI, September 13.-An accident,
with loss of life, occurred this afternoon
on the Big Four Railroad, near Guilford,
Ind. The accident was occasioned by the
breaking in two of the freight train No.
IS, east-bound, and in charge of Conductor
Adam Bause. As it was descending the
grade after leaving Guilford the engineer
discovered the accident to his train and
began to 'slow up,' but the deta he'd por-
tion of cars continued to follow, increasing
by the descent of grade, aad, overtakine
madly into its rear, telescoping two
cars and derailing three. One
of the three cars hurled from
the track was loaded with oats,
into which nine men had concealed them
selves for the purpose of stealing a ride.
As the car left the rails it turned over,
burying beneath the shifting oats a num-
ber of the inmates and bursting open the
car. Six of the imprisoned tramps man
aged to quickly emerge from their confine-
ment, and had they made any efforts to
assist their less fortunate companions, in
stead of basely deserting them, the poor
wretches might have been rescued alive,
AS it was, before the train men were aware
of the fact that any one remained in the
upturned car, life was extinct Coroner

evening took possession of the bodies. Upon
the person of one was found certificate of

wrecked near st. Johns N.F., on the voyage
from Baltimore to Liverpool, had on board
three cases and three barrels of goods ship
ped at this city for the Lutheran Mission
Station at Guntur, in India. They were to

Impartial in Their Dealing.

The Union Railway Company should be cred
tied with being impartial, at least, with leasing
roads. The Wabash and the L., N. A. & c.,
like the c., Fl. & l., fell back largely in their
rental. The Wabash being some thirteen
months behind, the Union Railway Company,
as they did with the c., H. & l., commenced
holding back receipts from sales of tickets at the
Union Depot, and as soon as the Wabash and L.,
n. A. 81 Z. people learned that they were in
earnest in the matter of collecting their rental
both companies aScertained their full amount
of back rental, and paid up to Oct. /, 1885. The
railroad companies who are renters, as we'll as
outsiders, have seemingly got the wrong impress
sion. The Union Railway Company is not a
money making institution. The Belt road and
Union railway are operated on AS economical a
basis as possible, and the cost of operating them
is divided up among the several roads on the basis
on which the respective roads use such tracks.
The c., l., ST. L.. 81 c., and the Vandalia, and
the Decline pay nearly 60 per cent. of the oper-
ating expenses of the two roads, as all roads pay
on the actual wheelage basis. Besides this the
property of the OLD Union Railway Company is
appraised by the chief engineers of nine of the
roads. On this appraisement which, when the ter
minal facilities the Union railway and Belt road
afford are considered, is certainly very low, Z per
cent. per annum being charged. This, under the
new Union Railway Company organization, is
shared equally by the roads. There is no one road
or combination of roads p~rofting 81 through the
operation of the two roads. If profit comes to
Company, which leases the latter to the Union
Railway Company, although this lease, as well,
is considered a very favorable one to the Union
Railway Company.

Rev. Mangasarian's Case.

IuliduelpHId leItPIdpu.
Away off there in the very dawn of the six
teenth century one John Calvin, a minister of
the Church of Rome, renowned his faith in the
creed Of that church and preached a new one,
which became the stone of the corner of the Re-
formed church, which became in turn the stone
of the corner of the Presbyterian Church of this
day. Because the Church of Rome would have
made a martyr of John Calvin in the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century, that
is not a good reason for the Presbyterian
Church making a martyr of Mangasar
NJ. Mangasarian at the close of the nineteenth
century, though the offenseS of the two men are
identical. not only in spirit, but almost to the
letter. The inquisition would have burned
Calvin at the stake in France had he not escaped
into Switzerland in season. Presbytery cannot
burn Mangasarian at the stake, but is the spirit
of It's persecution for heresy any more charitable
than was that of the Inqulsition, for the latter
also claimed that it was inspired by the spirit of
God to do what it did.
The creed is the presbytery's, but whose is
thought2 Is it to be determined that tracts shall
bind mems consciences to the wheel of the
church forever, and that thought or conscience
shall never be free? The world is too old for
that; its spirit too broad and too full of the d.
vine charity and wisdom of the Head of the
Christian church for that. When, in a Baptist
church, prayers are offered up for the dying
Cardinal in New York, and the Jews open their
Tabernacle to the houseless Baptists, all which
things have been recently done, it is folly for
presbytery to attempt longer to play the en-
feebied tricks of the Inquisition. Besides, it is
Plate that is dead, Christ that lives; and it is
faith in Him, and not in the doctrines of Calvin,
which is true religion.

one, and it is with unfeigned regret that we bid
him goodbye. He is unassuming and modest.
yet no one ever knew him to fail in appreciation
of any kindness. Mr.. Miller entered upon rail
road business on his twenty-first birthday, and
