luck yesterday by having two of it's
passenger engines on the Sioux Falls
division Jump the track. The first
engine was coming north and running
at a pretty good rate of speed trying to
make up fox lost time. Al Austin a
email station south of Canton, it made
y clean jump off and the coaches passed
right along by. When they stopped
passengers rushed ont to see what was
the matter aud found they had been
running without an engine. There was
q curve where they stopped and some
scanned the clouds to see whether
the machine had taken wings or had
teen spirited away. Others started
back and after travelling quite 9 distance
down the track saw it standing out on the
prairie several rods off of the right CT
way. There was no cause why it should
have jumped and q cause is hard to de-
tsrmIne. Another engine was telegraph
| ed for and the passenger was hauled to
this CITY arriving here at about 5 O'Clock.
The other passenger engine left the
tack somewhere south of Egsn and vas
coming this way intending to arrive in
this city on time. No particulars could
be learned as to the cause. As q result
communication north was cut Oft for the
passenger that came in from the south,
instead OF going through went back.
leaving a few minutes after 5 o'clock.

Secret eft the Aaiser's Longevity.
Pail Mall Gazette: The comparative.
~ robust health. of the venerable en-.
peror of Germany. in spite of family
trouble and official care, has given
rise to a legend, which, 1t is stated, is
obtaining credence among the supeTsis-
tious peasantry of certain Bayar,an viii
lagos. According to this legend the long
life of Kaiser William is due to d
mysterious philter OF which his imperial
majesty alone possesses the secret. How
the emperor obtained the magic be-
verage ls not known. II is described as
q kind of spirit, which, if it does not
give HIM immortality, will enable him
to live many years more, and to supply
him with sufficient mental and bodily
power to retain the government OF his
yaet empire in his hands. The
legend furthermore states that the Ger
man sovereign has condescended to

Prince Bismarck, hence else their re-
pectable age; but, strange to say, he de-
elines to give any of it to the Grown
Prince, because he fears his heir would
make use OF his health, restored by the.
philter, to force him his abdicate. Sew
eral crowned heads have, it appears, APP
piled to the superior for his wonderful
secret, but in vain. The czar, in parti-
cular, prayed for some OF the spirit, and
it was the refusal OF the kaiser to oblige
him which was the real cause OF the
present conflict between Russia and Ger.

minor CentrAi Morem ents.

Sioux Fails Press: A reporter of the
Press was reformed last evening that
Illinois Central surveyors will be put in
the field as soon as the snow is of the
ground, to run q line to the northwest
perhaps striking the Missouri river at
Bismarck. The company does not know
what towns they will pass through on
the route, and to settle this will send out
two surveying parties, who will run
separate lines SO as to strike all the i'm.
portant towns in central Dakota, and
the n furnishing the easiest grade will
be adopted. The road can't 60 to all the
good towns, therefore it will settle
which one shall have the line by taking
the easiest route. There is no need of
getting excited over this statement, as
the towns o are practically In q grab
bag,snd there is no telling which ones
will be drawn. The Bismarck Tribune run
across Auditor Ward the other day and
interviewed him on railroad news. The
paper says: when asked II he bad
heard anything regarding the proposed
Bismarck extension of the Illinois Gen.
trial, he. replied promptly that he had,
and that in Sioux Falls it WAS consider
ed as settled that the road would be
built to Bismarck this year. MI. Ward
informs the Tribune that the general
manager of the road is the authority
given In Sioux Falls for the statement
that hia company will bald over 800
miles in q northwesterly direction in Da.
kots next yesr. By consulting the map
the resder will find that this company
will not have to build much orer 800
miles to connect Bismarck with their
present terminus in Sioux Falis.'

FREE TRADE AND .BooMn TALK.

The Democratic newspapers of Indiana to
be in harmony with their party, and certain so
called independent newspapers, to be consist
emily cranky. howl from day to day for tar
if reform, the other name for free trade.
At the same time they pretend to have the
interests of Indiana and indianapolis at
heart, and write columns of "boom" talk for
and "boom" talk do not consist It is absurd
to invite manufacturers to avail themselves
of the wonderful advantages possessed by
Indiana and in the same breath demand a
tariff reform that would prove disastrous to
any manufacturing concern that might come
here and close those already in operation.
Yet this is just what these newspapers are
doing. They ask capitalists to invest their
money in great enterprises and show that,
with natural gas as helper, advantages may
be secured here which are nowhere else to
be obtained, and then they turn about and
labor to stir up a tariff agitation that means
certain disaster to ell manufacturing inter
ests.
Why they should do this just now, when
the throbbing pulse of business energy is just
beginning to be felt, is beyond comprehension.
Indiana is just entering on an era of great
prosperity. Natuial gas. added to the other
great advantages it possesses makes way for
the multiplication of industries within its
borders that will give employment to thou
sands of workers. The busy hum of factory
wheels, the furnace fires of iron-works and
the ponderous blows of the trip-hammer will
be familiar sights and SQUADS in this city and
State, before many months, If the agitators
of tariff reform will keep hands off, and the
prosperity resulting from this activity in man
ufactures will be felt by the humble laborer
as well as the wealthy. The farmers will
have more money. the merchants will have
more business, and every branch of trade
will feel the stimulus Of the production of
manufactured goods out of the raw materials
SO bountifully supplied by our State. All
these blessings are just within our grasp, and
any party, or any newspaper that advocates
a change of tariff laws which will prevent as
from enjoying them is not entitled to the sup
port of good citizens. Let the protective
tariff alone, and manufacturers will come
here and be prosperous; change it, and they
will keep their capital for other purposes. The
moral is, stop bowling for free trade and
'boom" Indiana and indianapolis.

SENATOR VOORHEES, DISGRACE.

The Journal makes a savage onslaught upon
Senator Voorhees, for making an argument in
the United States Supreme Court IN the tallv-
sheet cases. If the Senator had made an argu-
ment for some land grant corporation We pre-
sumo the Journal would have seen no impro-
priety In his action. AS he appeared in behalf
of Democrats to make a strictly legal argu-
ment, however, the Journal processes to be
greatly shocked. 1t is very sad.-Sentinel.
In the unregenerate state of the Sentinel
it was an open defender and ally of the tally
sheet forgers The foregoing indicates the
extent of the reformation that has taken place.
In reducing its size it has evidently not parted
with any of it's sympathy for the Coy gang
and the perpetrators of the tally.sheet frauds
As for Senator Voorhees, his appearance for
the convicts in the Supreme Court is an act
entirely without precedent. Nothing like it
ever occurred before. 1t is unique in its in
decency. Whatever may be thought of Sena-
tor Voorhees, originality in other respects he
has furnished entirely novel illustration of
how high Office may be degraded. The
Sentinel thinks if he chad made an argument
would have seen no improperly in his action"
The Journal has more than once commented
on the doubtful propriety of Senators absent
ing themselves from their posts of duty to
practice law during the session. It is Gus
tom more honored in the breach than in the
observance. No Senator has done it oftener
than Mr.. Voorhees,. but no Senator ever did
before what he has done now. By comparing
the case of the tally sheet forgers to land
grant the Sentinel tries to ignore the moral
and criminal aspects of the case. The people
do not see it in that light. Coy and Bern
hamer stand convicted of an outrageous crime
against the purity of the ballot and the cleo
ton laws of the State. 1t is not a question
involving the rights Of railroad or the title
to real estate. It is question of far higher
import. Senator Voorhees, appearance in
their defense is very different from an ordi-
nary professional service. It was an act of
unmitigated disgrace, and the people of
Indiana should hold him responsible for it.
We believe they will.

BOTH ISSUES IMPORTANT.

The Louisville Commercial quotes the fair
vote-and- honest-count plank of the Ohio Re-
publican platform, and says chat is a very
weak plank for q presidential candidate to
stand on" It adds:
"There was a hope in many quarters that
in the coming campaign more important is
sues would be discussed. The Democrats
have taken s determined stand on the tariff
Why not meet the free traders upon that great
question and send sectional wranglings to the
rearR The WORKOUT shibboleth of the bloody
shirt cannot bring a single recruit to the
ranks, nor will it turn single Democrat from
his allegiance to his party. If the Republicans
can win at all in this campaign, they must
win oil the tariff ISSUE"
The Ohio platform did not neglect the tariff
ISSUE The suffrage resolution did not constitute
the platform but only one plank of it. AS
platform it might be weak. but as one plank it
is very strong and an indispensable one Does
the Commercial really mean to say that the
tariff question is more important than the
question of fair elections in the South? It
plainly implies as much. Possibly the tariff
question may involve mora votes in the next
election, but as a moral and political question
of fundamental bearing and far-reaching con-
sequences the other is infinitely more impor-
tant Neither should be ignored. but If one
must give way it should be the tariff question.
The Republican party must be true to itself
and its principles, whether it win or lose
votes. Because protection is likely to be the
winning card in the next campaign. it must
not ignore the other issue. or fail, at least, to
record its protest and raise its voice against
the brutal methods by which republican form
of government in the South is destroyed. It
takes more than one plank to make platform
and more than one principle to maintain
party.

comment. He declared that if Grover
Cleveland were to insist that the fourteenth

the constitutional right could be found. The
hope Of the colored race, he said. was in the
Republican party. but he was colored man
first and Republican after. and ii the party
could not guarantee protection he and his
people would leave it. This point he thought
would be decided by the choice of candidates
made at Chicago If Roscoe Conkling was
