RAILROADS IN DESPAIR.

The Admission of Four Granger States
win Still Further Depress Their Busi"
ness.
BOSTON, April 16.-Corley & Co., the
Devonshire street brokers, in letter to
their customers Saturday say: ''In the
Northwest the approaching admission of
four new states into the Union, doubt
less with legislatures inspired with
granger sentiments toward railroads,
and contributing eight senators and sew
eral representatives to the demagogical
spirit in control of the national congress
on the subject, is an important consider
alton to confirm the anxiety amounting
already almost to despair concerning the
condition of some railroads in that re-
gion, and create it as to others which
have thus far largely escaped the gen
eral depression"

SEES UNFRlENDLINESS IN 1T.

The Cologne Gazat:e Not Favorably I'M
pressed with the American Representa-
tives of the Samoan Conference.
BERLIN, April 16.-The Cologne Ga
zette says that the nomination of Mr..
Sewall, late consul general at Samoa, as
one of the Samoan commissioners, to-
gether with the appointtGsDosati~ Mr..
Bates, warrants the sapposition that the
Washington government does not
seriously desire friendly settlement of
the Samoan muddle. The Berlin Post
states that the Samoan conference will
open on May /. The German delegates
to the conference will be Count Herbert
Bismark and DR.. Kraule, the head of
the colonial department of the foreign
office. Count Bismarck will preside.
DR.. Kraule was member of the Anglo
German Cameroons commission in 1885
and has since been at the head of the
German colonial department. He is
regarded as one of the very best authori-
ties on colonies.

A HARMLESS BLUFF.

1t would seem as if the British fisher
men who have been prohibited from en-
tering the American waters of Behring
sea for the purpose of catching seals in
tend to treat the proclamation of the
United States government with con-
tempt From Victoria, B. c., we are
informed that the sealing schooners
about starting out on their cruise will be
armed and will not tamely submit, as
before, to piratical attacks of American
cutters" 1t is said that British war
vessel has been ordered to that quarter
in order to protect those foreign sealers,
and that resistance of the most deter
mined kind will be offered to any at
tempts to assert American supremacy IN
Behring sea. The Canadian parliament
seems inclined to nose into the matter,
though SO far only promonitory insinua-
tons of what may take place in certain
contingencies have been uttered. John
Bull may growl little but he will not
dare to support armed resistance to the
authority of the United States in Ameri-
can waters under present circumstances
at least. The presidents proclamation
must be obeyed, and those who seek
to set it at defiance must take the conse-

AN OPPORTUNE OCCASION.

En- rapport with President Harrison's
centennial Inauguration proclamation,
the ministers representing the various
churches throughout the United States
are moving wisely and energetically in
making preparation for the suitable OBJ
servance of the appointed day and hour
Of prayer.
Nothing could be more appropriate
than that these devotional exercises,
convivialities and reunion ceremonials
should commemorate the first centennial
anniversary of the inauguration of the
of the United States-then feeble con-
federation of struggling colonies, deoi-
mated and well-nigh exhausted by a
seven years bloody war with the most
aggressive, oppressive and grasping ma
ton on the globe. And would it not be
even more appropriate that the stores
should be closed at least from the
hour of 8 in the morning, when from
every city, town and village, from every
hamlet, hill top and humble home
Gland of the free and home of the brave"
shall ascend on high the voice of praise.
The proclamation of the president was
made at the request of the representa-
tives of religious creeds, both Christian
and Hebrew, who memorialized him to
designate an hour for national prayer
and thanksgiving on the Both day of
April, the one hundredth anniversary of
the taking of the oath of Office by George
Washington as chief magistrate of the
newborn republic. 1t will be the most
solemn day that ever dawned upon the
nation. 1t will be not alone commemo-
rative of the Inauguration Of George
Washington, but, let us hope, also an
earnest and foretaste Of that great mil
lenial day of peace on earth and good
will to men-of liberty, equality and
fraternity

REST.

In youth we go seeking for rest,
Tho our way is not always the best,
We trust we shall find by and by;
And we oft build our hopes I'D high:
But the storm comes, anon,
Lo, the fabric is gone!
And we trust in the future again,
Struggle along with the pain
Swelling our breast, as we cry,
Rest surely will come, by and by,
1t surely viii come.
We seek it again, with tears,
Seek in the midsg of the years;
High hopes do We hold from the past:
We seek where we failed in the last
Great effort we made TO attain;
We reach, but we reach in vain.
Again we've come short of the goal,
We have sought from the depth of the soul
With heart full Of pain, we cry,
Rest surely will come. by and by,
1t surely will come.
We try once again, well aware
That age has brought with it care,
We have learned to rejoice in the pain;
Our tears have been as the rain
That fell on the fallow ground;
All seeded the land was found:
Bright barvests have sprung from the soil.
Which will ripen in spite of the toll;
We rejoice, we rejoice, as we cry,
Rest surely will come, by and by,
Rest surely will come.

REVOLUTION IN KANSAS.

The city clerk of Leavenworth backed
by the authorities, refuses to turn over
the records to the supervisor of elections
an Office created by the last legislature,
or rather an Office which was engineer
cred through that aggregation of senili-
ty. verdancy and cupidity. 1t is the du-
ty of the people of the cities of the first
class of Kansas, duty they owe them
selves, their pockets and their manhood,
to repudiate that bastard law. Every
city council should refuse to provide for
its enforcement and refuse to pay the
officers under it, If this means revolu-
ton and treason then revolution
and treason are crying necessities.
Every succeeding legislature, of
late years, through the sneak
ing jobbery of individuals
directly interested, have been creating
and saddling the taxpayers with addi-
tional and unnecessary offices and new
institutions until the wonder is that
there is not only political revolution but
something worse. The attorney general
of the state has commenced proceedings
to force Leavenworth's clerk to comply
with the law and it's the duty of the
people Of Leavenworth to stand by their
clerk and beat the enactment and the
attorney general too if possible. If they
succeed it will save to the inhabitants of
all the frst-class cities of Kansas thous-
ands of dollars annually.

KANSAS SUGAR.
From the Kansas City Star.

lle hdIlsds lily StaT
The prospect is that the sugar product
of Kansas this season will be many
times greater than it was last year. The
recent report on this industry made by
Z. B. Cowgirl, the state sugar inspector.
showed that the experiments made in
Kansas last year In the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum had been fruitful
of highly satisfactory results, and this
has induced the expenditure of a large
amount of capital in the construction of
new mills in different parts of the state.
There Is no state in the union which
seems to be so favorable to the growth of
sorghum as Kansas, and if the plsnt can
be profitably utilized in the production
of great staple commodity new source
of revenue will be opened up to the state
which will add vastly to the wealth of
its people.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

In commenting upon the EAGLES
views of the Cherokee's pretended title
to the outlet, the Anthony Journal says:
There is nothing SO potent as public
sentiment and nothing SO persuasive as
necessity, The strip does not belong in
fee to the Cherokees any more than the
right of way across another's land gives
to the beneficiary title in fee simple.
The offer OF the government to pay S1.25
per acre for the 5000, 000-acre strip was
not made because of any recognized
right, but on the ground of public policy
and for the purpose of securing speedy
opening to actual settlers. Public opin-
ion demands that it shall be opened to
settlement and necessity will soon open it.
There are now probably fifty thousand
more people in Oklahoma than can be
provided with homes In that small do
main. These people, many of them,
will settle on the strip and the army
will be powerless to prevent it without
its own citizens, shoot men who are en-
deavoring 10 make homes for them
selves and loved ones, while it protects
the cattlemen in the occupation ana
enjoyment of this vast portion of the
realm. 1OQ IOIblu. Inc government
has said that the Cherokees had no title
to the strip, the administration has said
that they had no right to lease the strip
and that such lease would not be
recognized. In view of these facts the
settler has as much right on the strip as
the cattle baron. If the army drives
out one it should drive out both. The
many thousands now rushing into Ok
lahoma will be compelled of necessity
to settle on the strip, and they will stay
there, raise crops and make a home I'M
less shot down by the soldiery. VIII
the government suffer its citizens TO be
destroyed, or will it recognize the neces-
slty of the hour and permit sauatter
rights upon the strip until such time
as the homestead law will apply?

For the first time since the creation of
the interstate commerce commission that
board of arbitration is just now implead-
ed to interfere against what is alleged in
the complaint as too low rates of freight
charges. The complaint is made by a
number of ice manufacturing companies
in Texas who allege that six or seven
years ago and before the said companies
had established their extensive and ex-
pensive plants, the railroads named in
the complaint charged $3.50 car of ten
tons for transporting ice from st. Louis
and other northern markets into Texas,
whereas the same roads now charge for
car loads of twelve tons only 500 to the
same.points. The reduction of the rate of
freight charges, the compartments allege,
is ruinous to their business, hence they
pray for interference.

The importation of band of cowboy

The importation of band of cowboys
from western Kansas to take the places
of the striking street car drivers in Min
neapolis, Mimi, it seems failed to have
the effectof bringing the strike and tie
up to an end. The strikers are reported
as determined as ever and the managers
of the lines have failed to restore service
thereon. Meanwhile the strikers have
quietly gone about organizing a herdic
service for the city with prospects, it is
said, of giving the public good satisfac-
ton. The herdic system is practically
returning to first principles, but in this
instance the people of the Twin City
have the assurance that its local travel
will not be interfered with strike-the
herdic drivers will have nobody to strike
against; in sense they are their own
bosses.

If the splendor and magnifcence of
southern Kansas should have escaped the
notice Of the thousands who passed
through it in their wild rush to Oklaho-
ma, it cannot fail to attract all and catch
many on their return. \ weeks adj
vancement of all vegetation adds greatly
TO the attractiveness of the country, town
and city, and, besides, the return trip is
made more leisurely, while the contrast
between that country in its barren naked
ness and the enhancing beauty and evil
dent productiveness of this canuot fail
to catch the enterprising settler, who will
find here more nearly what his fancy
pictured TO him the promised land
would be, but which is little less than q
sore disappointment to the most FORUM
ate of those who have gone there. The

1t sounds almost incredible, yet the
local papers aver that Mayor Waggener
of Atchison suggested and urged upon
the city council reduction of his salary
as mayor from 81, 900 to $500. 1t is also
stated that Jay Gould, because of the
embarrassed financial condition of the
Texas Pacific road, has declined to re-
ceive a salary as president of the COM
pany. Let us hope that these instances
are true symptoms of an epidemic of viz
tue that shall succeed the one of crimes
that has prevailed throughout the coun-
try SO long.
