MAXWELL,S CAPTURE.

News of the capture of MAXWELL, which
comes to US this morning, illustrates the
wonderful progress our civilization has
made. The murderer was a man of re-
fined education and great traveller. When
he killed PRELLER and packed his body
away in trunk few weeks ago at the
Southern hotel in st. Louis he had pre-
viOuSly made his plans for escape. They
were laid with cunning and executed
with GOODNESS that has rarely been equaled
and never surpassed in criminal history.
Having taken every precautiOn to throw
purSuerS off his track, and with the adj
vantage of the lapse of time that occurred
between the tragedy and its discovery, it
doubtless seemed to the murderer to be an
impossibility that he could be hunted down.
And yet, within less than a month, news
comes of his capture in New Zealand.
He had gone direct to San Francisco from
st. Louis, and before it was known that
the murder had been committed the muir
derer was ON board steamer on the
Pacific ocean bound for country with
which we have very little communication.
And yet within a few days after the dis
covery of the murder keen-scented detec-
tive had tracked him to San Francisco and
learned of his departure on the Pacific
steamer. The telegraph then came to the
aid of the law and on yesterday, when the
steamer made it's first stop at Auckland, the
murderer found himself in the hands of the
law officers and held to answer for his
crime. 1t is hardly possible that any tech
nicalities can now arise to prevent MAXWELL
from being brought back to ST. Louis and
tried and executed for PRELLER's murder.
With the facilities of the telegraph and the
thorough efficiency of our detective system,
it is hardly possible for a criminal these
days to elude the law. The only chance of
escape that he has is in the technicalities of
the law after he is arrested and the difficulty
in getting the courts to make strict en-
fOrcement of it,

THEMARKETS.

Yesterday was an active day in the stock
market and the bulls seem to have had the
best of it in quite a severe struggle with the
bears A variety of causes are suggested
for the speculative practices, one of which is
that the unreasonable war in freight rates
among the Western roads is for the purpose
of furthering certain speculations. In the
afternoon trading in stocks went on vigor-
ously and the market closed strong at quota
tions The wheat market is weaker. AT Chi
cago it was pretty strong and steady till L
O'Clock when it became weaker.

The government seems to have at last dis
covered an effective way in which to proceed
against these bold violators of the law. After
a score or more of the leading polygamists
shall have been sent to the penitentiary plu-

is safe to say, to enter into the polygamist re-
lation The news from Utah is surely encour-
aging. 1t will not do now for any one TO pro-

IT is rumored that the bosses are falling
out with each other over the spoils
they did not get. One faction lays
the defeat to MERRIAM'S adolescent mex
perience, another faction lays it to MCCARDYs
inability to bring up the CASTLE faction, while
they all concur that the smut machine of the
Pioneer Press contributed to the general over
throw. If it is qualification to the bosses
to know, we can tell them what did it, The
people are to blame. They took it into their
heads that they wanted honest municipal
government And they got it.

NOTWITHSTANDING the inclemency of the
weather last evening, the musical festival,
both in the number of the audience and the
character of the entertainment, made sue
cessful opening. The only mistake was the
common one On such occasions of having the
program too long, and the consequent weary
ing of both singers and audience. The artists
who came from abroad fully sustained their
regulations, and no finer chorus and Orches-
ira could have been organized. The festival
loses none of it's attractiveness by the nom
appearance of Miss PHILLIPS. The substitu-
ton of Miss THURsTON in her place more than
compensated for the disappointment Miss
PHILLIPS gave our people. There is thrill
ing expression in Miss THuRsTON's singing,
and the melody of her soft, sweet voice is so
delicately clear that it comes oyer one ''lixe
the sweet south wind that breathes upon a
bank of violets.'' St. Paul has no reason to be
ashamed of her own musical talent, for when
brought in comparison with the great PAP
PENHEIM our local prima donna did not suf-
fer by it.

ment of fame more enduring than that OF
any other living American statesman. His
earnest fight in behalf of the people in OPP
position to the railroad monopolies lost him
his seat in the senate. But In his defeat he
stood higher in the affections of his country
men than his successful competitor, Senator
SHERMAN, can ever hope to attain. The
old man is really grander to-day in his re-
tirement than he would have been in the
presidential mansion. The manimity with
which his party is now claiaOring for his
leadership in Ohio is a sublime tribute to the
purity and greatness of the man. He is in
deed a colossal figure in American history.
and the Democracy of Ohio can well afford
to be proud of him and shower upon him
its greatest hOnors. But it is a big thing
they ask of him to lay aside the peaceful
conditions which surround his old age and
again put OH his armOr. 1t would be better
to leave the old warrior to enjoy the rest he
has earned, and let some more youthful
leader take charge of the Democratic forces.

BuuLDING STATISTICS

The papers are publishing list of the
new buildings constructed in the leading
American cities of this country as an evil
dence of their growth. 1t is not always a
perfect test, because in some cities no
proper record is kept of building improve
ments. Where, however. such a record is
preserved it is very suggestive of the growth,
progress and prosperity of the town. In
reviewing the statistics which have been
collected the New Orleans Times-D Democrat
says:
The table vindicates Chicagos claim TO a
rapid increase of population. 1t is spending
more money in buildings than any three
towns in the West, and erecting enough new
houses each year to accommodate SO, 900 peo-
ple If the building improvements be taken
as test, Chicago will certainly have not
less than 100000 inhabitants by 1890. St.
Louis, on the other hand. is growing
slowly, spending less on houses than either
Minneapolis or st. Paul, and no more than
Kansas City. 1t is providing for not more
than 10000 people year, and at the present
rate of increase will not range much over
$4,000 in 1890. ST. Paul is adding 1000 a
year, and Minneapolis the same number
ana are clearly ent1tled TO their
present claim of 100000 each.
The twin cities will be able to claim $4,000
people by 1890, unless some shock stops their
present rapid progress Kansas City is an
other growing town, promising to have $780,
600 people by 1890; Omaha looks good for
$4,000, Milwaukee for $780, 900, Detroit for no.
600, Toledo for $4,000, Des Moines for 10000,
and Portland, Or, for $4,000. 1t is highly
probable that these cities will all reach those
figures. With the exception of Chicago, the
Illinois towns seem stagnant. Rock Island
erected but $50, 800 worth of buildings, Galena
but $4,000 last year, not enough to replace
the buildings destroyed by fire. Louisville,
at its present rate, will not add over $4,000 to
its population in the present decade.
The building test is not always safe test
of population, but it is certainly the best that
can be found. The supply of houses never
keeps very much ahead of the demand.
The Times-Democrat would have been
safe in estimating the population of St.
Paul in 1890 at 200, 900, and if some shock
does not stop its growth it will be more
than that

How the Missouri Pacific Was Sold.
NJ

Concerning the sale to Jay Gould of the
Missouri Pacific railroad by Mr.. Garrison,
who then owned it outright, there is story
told which is eminently characteristic of
MI. GarrisOn's Well-known determination
and grit. Mr.. Garrison had bought the
property for $500, 900 at foreclosure sale,
when it was in a very unprOmising and
bankrupt condition. When Mr.. Gould
wanted to buy the road he sent Russell
Sage to make the negotiations with the
commodore. The latter was smart enough
to know that Mr.. Could wanted the Mis-
souri, Pacific very badly.
81 want $2,000,000 for it," said blunt
Mr.. Garrison.
''Dear me-" said Mr.. Sage, insinuatingly;
''why, you only paid $500, 1000 for it your
SELF
''The price to you is 80, 900. OOO"
'"Fhat's too much, said the frugal Mr..
Sage.
"Good-day. sir" was the reply.
Next day Mr.. Sage, after consulting with
Mr.. Gould, came again to see Mr.. Garri-
son.
II think We'll take the road at your
price, Mr.. Garrison" said he.
what price,"
'.Why, 50, 600, 000."
'''That was yesterdays price. To-day
want So, 900. 00O."
Good gracious, you said yourself that
you would sell for $4,000, 000"
$50 | would if you had taken it then.
Now | want So, 900, 600. If you will take
it now you can have it for that. If not it
will cost you more"
The good Mr.. Sage was greatly per-
picked, and said he would have to consult
Nh. Gould again. He begged Mr.. Garrison
to wait until the next day, and not make
another raise in the price, but the shrewd
old gentleman would not promise.
On the following day Mr. Gould himself
came to see Mr.. Garrison, and it was dia-
mond cut diamond The great operator was
willing to give $4,000, 900. but Mr.. CARR
son had advanced the figure again to S4. OO0,-
600. This Mr.. Gould positively refused to
pay, whereupon Mr.. Garrison quietly an
nounced his intention of extending the line
of the Missouri Pacific so as to make it run
parallel with some of Mr.. Gould's Western
roads and take away the business of the
latter. Then Mr.. Gould came down and
paid the "a. 000 900.

ExTRAvAGANT FUNERALS.

The Philadelphia Record very sensibly
expresses the opinion that if the money
uselessly spent in burying the dead could
be applied to ameliOrating the condition of
the living it would be weightier charity
fund than ever before accumulated. There
is an immense amount of truth in this state
ment. If half the money that is wasted
in foolish display at funerals were devoted
to the maintenance of better living, the
dead would sleep no less peacefully and the
surviving friends would have profound rea-
son for thankfulness. Of course there is a
sentiment in these costly funerals, desire
on the part of surviving friends to do some
thing to testify their grief and to pay respect
to the memory of the dead At the same
time the sentiment is gratifed at the ex-
pense of those who have stronger claims
upon us than the dead have. 1t is impos-
Sible to do good to the dead by any eXpendi-
ture, and the living are often impoverished
to furnish a vulgar display for morbid
minded persons who take an unWhOleSOme
delight in mOrtuary performances. The in
junction of the Master On a certain occasion
was to let the dead bury their dead We are
not expected to literally follow this injunc-
ton, but we can approach to the wisdom
which underlies it by seeing that in decently
burying the dead we do not diminish the
comforts of the living.
The evil of costly funerals has long been
recognized, but no plan to remedy it has
yet been suggested which is more practical
than that proposed by the Record 1t
says:
Those who can best afford the useless ex-
penditure of funerals are those who can most
fifty undertake to set better example. If
DIVES is put under the ground without undue
demonstration, LAZARUS may go more econom-
ically to his final rest, and the family that
LAZARUS leaves behind him will have less
cause to mourn.
