ENGLAND SEXES AN INDIAN STATE

The English have determined to ''an-
mex" the province of Cashmere. and, as
a preliminary, announce that they have
discovered plot against the life OF the
British agent at the Maharajah's court
Information of this alleged plot, they
pretend. was derived from certain papers
claimed to have been left by the late pre-
mier of Cashmere. Dead men tell nc
tales and it is safe to make any accuse.
ton against the defunct minister, who
cannot appear TO defend himself or those
implicated with him.
The area of Cashmere is estimated al
about seventy-tive thousand square
miles, and its situation at the north OF
India and adjacent TO Turkestan and AT
ghanistan makes its possession important
for strategic reasons, These viii prove,
after all, to be the only real ones for the
seizure by the British of this territory.
But they seem to be now, as
always. unwilling to acknowledge
the truth and therefore have re-
course to their old tricks. to the concoc-
tons Of imaginary plots, which deceive
no one and only increase the contempt
felt for their bungling discoveries.

THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION COMING.

For several years crops have proved a
failure to greater or less degree east of
the Mississippi. This farmers have been
getting behindhand, and getting dis
couraged, and have been casting ABOUT
| to find some way out of their troubles.
| As the farming interests have anguish
ed, every other branch of business has
correspondingly suffered, and those so
engaged have become disheartened at
the hopeless prospect before them, and
they too are seeking for change.
There is a vast amount of discomfort
among many of those living in the east
at the present time. Many Of them
have saved up some money in days gone
by, but recently have been able to add
nothing to their hoard, but in many in
stances have diminished it. The outlook
for them where they are is a struggle
for life and an old age OF poverty.
This they are not willing to submit to
without an effort, and therefore they
have turned their eyes westward, and
will turn their steps in the same direc-
ton this spring.
Indications are unmistakable that a
very large emigration will flow towards
the setting sun this season; probably
larger human tide than has set this way
any year previously, by reason Of the
conditions mentioned and further by the
opening of new territory TO white settle
ment.
Those who are lacking in energy will
make no further effort than to bewail
their hard lot, while the wide-awake,
enterprising ones will gather their
means, bid goodbye to old friends,
and start for the land of prom
Use. For the most part they will
make sober, industrious, intelligent citi-
zens, valuable addition to the inhabi-
tants Of any state.
And notwithstanding the Oklahoma
country will attract many, Kansas will
receive good share of these newcomers, !
and the southern portion of the state will
secure fair proportion of these desirable
But much may be done to
increase the number. Let those who are
here already write or send papers back
to their old associates, and give them an
account of the benefit likely to be de-
rived from change Of location to this |
favored country

dressed beef from each state by requir-
ing all beef cattle to be inspected while
alive in the state where they are to be
killed and where the beef is to be sold.
The effect of such legislation would be to
prevent in any state the sale of beet,
even of the very best quality, that has
been brought from another state, and to
prevent it on the pretense that beef so
imported is diseased, and that the people
can be protected only by the inspection
Of beef cattle on the hoof within the
boundaries of their own commonwealth.
While we hold that all beef cattle and
the beef obtained by slaughterlng them
should be carefully inspected by properly
qualified persons, we see no reason TO be-
lieve that the dressed beef shipped to
eastern cities has not been so inspected
or that consumers here would be more
carefully protected if such beef were ex-
cluded. There seems to be satisfactory
evidence that the system of inspection
in the Chicago and Kansas City yards is
as searching and complete as that III use
in any other part of the country. The
slaughterers say. with good reason, that
it is for their best interest to have the
most trustworthy inspection, and they
are willing and even anxious to adopt
any additional safeguards that may be
required or suggested by competent au-
thority. On the other hand, it Is noto-
rious that in the several states local
inspection is frequently weak and some
times worthless, and that some OF the
very persons who ask for the exclusion
of the western dressed beef on sanitary
grounds are continually striving to sell
bad meat in the cities. In this city tie
officers of the health department labor
in vain to shut out the dob veal sent
in large quantities to our markets from
the interior of the state.
If the convention in st. Louis really
desires to break up combination and
has not undertaken to serve the interests
of local butchers in the cities, it should
first cause careful inquiry to be made
concerning the relation existing between
the four slaughterers and shippers and
the railroad companies in order that it
may be determined whether or not the
members of the combine are favored in
the matter of freight rates. 1t was by
means of discrimination in rates that
they built up their power. using the
means employed SO effectively and prof
itably by the Standard oil trust. If it
shall be shown that there is now no dis
elimination, then inquiry may be ex-
tended in other directions.

Talnage'S Sermons.

The next thing in the line of progress
will be Talmage's sermons every Sunday
by photograph.
Talmage will deliver his sermons into
the photograph, the wax cylinders will
be electroplated, and innumerable I'M
pressions made, which will be shipped
all over the United States for the price
of ten cents.
On Sunday the pater familias will
gather the household around the phono-
graph, put on Talmage's sermon. and
grind out the eminent divine's great
thoughts and savings, giving every in
tonation, infection of voice, etc. Thus
every family in the land will be able to
hear the greatest divine in the world
without inconvenience and at a mini
mum cost. Collection of ten cents can
afterwards be taken up to defray the ex-
penSe.

You See it Depends.

Indian Commissioner Oberly is having
some fun poked at him about the ideas
of civilizing the red man ON account Of
a New York Indian, David Tallchief.
David was educated at great expense by
the government. He was civilized. and
the civilization has affected him very
much as it has the white man. He Is
now roaming the country playing the
confidence,game in way that is aston
ishlng by representing himself as gov
eminent contractor. He beat Balti-
more landlord out of $3.50, and few
DAYS ago was heard from up north,
where he had been living on the fat of
the land and painting things in Indian
style. Dave is said TO be a gambler, a
masher, and confidence man of the
first water. Civilization affects New
York Indian that way" is commissioner
Oberly's only explanation.

Sam Jones says ''If God calls man
! to preach ne gives him sense enough to
! do it without notes." This reminds us
of little incident that occurred down
in the Kentucky Purchase several years
ago. One of the ''inspired" brethren
was INVITING a younger minister, lately
out of a theological school, about study
ing his sermons and using manuscript in
the pulpit. After some discussion on
the subject the young man offered to
meet his critic in the pulpit the follow
ing Sunday morning at the latter's ap-
pointment when each should preach a
sermon from text to be furnished by
the other on entering the pulpit and
thus demonstrate the value or useless
ness of previous preparation. AT the
appointed time the young man led off,
getting through with the theme given
him as we'll as could have been expected,
the text being one, fortunately, upon
which he had previously prepared and
preached sermon, the substance of
which he remembered. When his COM
petitor arose he gave him as text
sentence from the incident of the
meeting of Baalam and the
angel when Baalam's donkey halted and
refused to go, to-wit: 81 am thine ass"
The preacher read the text aloud, then
waited moment for the inspiration, but
it didn't sieze him. He read it again,
but still his ideas and mouth wouldn't
go off. Finally, after several repetitions
of the text and as many failures to get
started, he closed the bible with the re-
mark: Brethren, that was what Baal-
ANS brute said to him and that's just
what am; please sing the doxology.

ton for some time past regarding the ne
gotiations by the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City railway for the purchase of
Jacob Dold & Co.'S packing house plant
was revived again yesterday. The dag
onal people, it is said, are very DESTROYS
of securing this ground upon which to
erect magnificent freight depot and
switch tracks. The company owns a
right of way from the mouth of the Kaw
river to the state line and would only
have to secure small amount of land to
reach this property. 1t is also attempt
ing to secure a right of way from the
Kaw river east over seventh street to the
state line. It is said that the company
has offered 1880, 900 for the property
and that the firm wants $1,j00,000.

The election in New Hampshire last
week on the adoption of some amend

IN the defeat of the prohibition amend
ment by considerable majority. This
result was great surprise to the advo-
Gates of prohibition in view of the fact
that prohibition was already in force in
the state and has been for some time
They expected TO secure the necessary
two-thirds vote in favor of the amend
ment but instead majority was cast
against it. The reason set up by many
who claim to favor prohibition for vot-
Ing against the amendment is the lax
manner in which the prohibitory law
was enforced, claiming that high license
Is more restrictive. Here is one instance
at least where General Grants epicram-
attic assertion in which he said that 1.-The
way to get rid of an Objectionable law in
the quickest time is to rigidlv enforce
it, didn't prove true. They repudiated
the prohibition IN New Hampshire be-
G ause it was not enforced

they are to be governed or who by.

However, that blessed law is not entirely
one-sided, as it provides that the people
may pay the salaries of the officers ap-
pointed through the dictation of some
sacrificing small citizen TO rule over
them.

The Packers Prediction Verified.


The Allcutt packing company yester-
day received circular from Ruttenberg,
Germany, announcing that hereafter all
American beef exported for consump-
ton there mnst be accompanied by GER
tifcates of inspection. In addition to
this the respective consuls located in
that city are required to certify as to the
genuiness of the certificate. Mr.. Allcutt
said last night that he looked upon this
as an outcome of the local inspection ag-
itation which has been going on in nu-
merous western states during the winter.

that there is not an animal in this region

WHY ST. PATRICK SUCCEEDED,

Apropos of the celebration of the natal
of the great Irish patriot-saint which
took place yesterday, the 18th being
Sunday, the following from Charles de
Kay's illustrated article on Christian
Ireland in the March Century will be
read with interest by all who feel an in
terest in the occasion and the object of
its commemoration:
sit is an old error to count st. Patrick
among the emissaries, missionaries, or
nuncios from the see of st. Peter. His
conversion of Ireland was an independ-
ent act, which may be compared with
similar Independent conversions Of the
Bulgarians and the ether nations to the
ortodox or Eastern church by st. Cyril
and ST. Methodius 400 years later. The
terms of his confession of faith and his
letter to Welsh brigand who carried
off his converts into slavery, two au-
thentic documents, forbid any other
view.
1t has been suggested that Patrick
never existed and that his le-
gend was founded on these mea-
ger achievements Of Paladius; but
the hypothesis has too many documen-
tary, historical and legendary evidences
against it.
How came it that Patricius succeeded
where Paladius failed? Primarily be-
cause he had nothing to do with Rome
or Italy. This preserved him from the
active jealousy Of the upper classes, the
kings, chiefs, and Druids, who had
good reason to perceive that Rome, hav-
ing retired her armies from Britain, was
now trying to extend her sway by re-
ligion. 1t also conciliated the Christians
scattered about the borders of the island,
who must have resented the pretensions
of the Roman bishops with as much
vigor as did the orthodox of the east
But there was another reason for
Patrick's success. He addressed himself
to the temporal and intelligent leaders,
the chiefs, Druids, and Files" or poets,
because he was a man of genius and saw
that only in that way could a community
existing on the clan system be converted,
