DISCOVERY OF THE FLAMES.

She reached Aspinwall in due season and
longShoremen and sailors had discharged a
total of $50 tons of cargo from the mold
when fire was discovered among the cotton
and naval stores which were slowed in the
forward compartment. This was on the
evening of Aug. IL, two days after the YES
sells arrival. The fire had complete control
of the forehold when discovered, and before
an alarm could be sounded great sheets of
flame and volumes of smoke filled the air
over the forward part of the craft.
AsPINwALL's ANCIENT DEPARTMENT.
The flames attracted the atteItion of the
ancient fire department. of Aspinwall,
which turned out and, with number of
American laborers about the dock, set to
work to assist the people of the steamship
in extinguishing the flames. All through
the night of Aug. IL the men toiled,
several falling exhausted from overwork
Aug. IL opened with the fire
still burning fiercely, and toward
noon of that day it looked as if the steamer
was doomed. During the afternoon of the
18th, the flames went down as suddenly as
they began and at 4 o'clock Capt. Lock-
wood, the skipper of the ship reported the
fire extinguished. A considerable quantity
of cargo was destroyed and the interior of
the vessel is badly damaged.

PURELY ACCIDENTAL.

The evidence at the inquest proved con-
clusively that the saooting was accidental,
and Schaefer will probably be released on
bail Monday. The feeling against the whites
on the part of the negroes is one of intense
bitterness, and unless the law officers take
strong precautionary measures there is
danger of an outbreak. Strange to say this
bitterness extends even to some of the
negroes in this city.

President Woodruff Defense.

The defense of the Mormon church which
MILFORD Woodruff, the president of
that institution, made through the press
of the country a day or two ago, will not
do the cause of Mormonism any good. The
fact that such defense was put forth shows
that the Mormon leader himself recognizes
that the Mormon church is not IN harmony
with the public sentiment of this country. 1t
is probably safe to say that the Mormons as
a body have no love for the country of
which they form small part, and that the
flag under which they live neither COM
mands their respect nor arouses their en-
thusiasm.
The assertions of President Woo 1ruff that
the Mormon church is loyal, and that it
willingly obeys all the laws of the country.
may be taken for what they are worth. but
when the testimony given in the Salt Lake
courts within the last week or two is con-
sidered, they do not appear to be worth
much. In this testimony some of the secrets
relating to the infamous rites and cere-
monies of the endowment house were made
public. II this testimony is true, and there
does not appear to be any reason to doubt
ii, there is as settled a purpose to
resist the laws and to perpetuate
the worst features of Mormonism as
ever there was. These features are kept in
the background because it would be danger
GUS to make them as prominent as they
once We're, but there is no intention to give
them up. They are doubtless impressed
upon the minds of Mormons in ways of
which the public knows nothing 1t is
evident that the means to cause the
Mormons to abandon the reasonable and
immoral phases of their religion have not
yet been found.

The War on Trusts.

Trusts are not popular. In all parts of
the country there is a very strong feeling
against them. There may be some Of them
that benefit consumers, but they are very
few. The sugar trust promised to reduce
the price Of sugar. It hasn't done it, how
ever On the contrary, the price has been
increased in order that large dividend may
be paid on the trusts shares. Very little
has been accomplished yet toward the trusts
destruction by the legal fight that is being
made against It, but it is thought that a
way will be found eventually t. destroy it.
The cotton planters are as much in earn
est in their fight against the jute bagging
trust as they ever were. They understand
that cotton bagging Is not as good as jute
bagging as a covering for cotton, and that
it is more costly. The farmers, however, are
willing TO pay the difference to defeat the
trust. 1t IS about certain that the proper
ton Of next years cotton crop that will be
covered with cotton bagging will be much
larger than that Of this year.
Yesterday in Missouri the charters Of
nearly 1000 corporations were revoked by
the secretary, of state because Of the refusal
of these corporations 10 make affidavits that
they were not in any way connected with
trusts. This action was in harmony with
the antitrust law which the legislature of
that state recently enacted. 1t is expected
that this law will be the cause of great
deal Of litigation, as the corporations do not
intend TO give up their charters without a
struggle.
The Illinois State Farmers Alliance or
gained few days ago for the avowed pur-
pose of making war upon trusts in that
state. 1t adopted some very stringent reso-
lutions, the only fault to be found with
them being that they seem to express an
intention on the part OF the farmers to
create a trust as Objectionable as those are
which they are engaged in fighting. 1t is
but natural, of course, that the farmers
should want to get the best prices possible
for their products, but they will find that
the consumers will have something TO say
if the prices are very noticeably increased.
There is no doubt that the alliances and
other organizations of farmers exert an i'm
mense influence, and if Mr.. Powderly's
scheme of uniting them and the Knights of
Labor should be successfully carried out, the
farmers and the workingmen would do as
much, if not more, in shaping the legisla-
ton of the country than in controlling the
prices Of their products.
There is one thing that the farmers
organiza tions viii have TO guard against,
and that is undertaking too much. The
Illinois state alliance. in its resolutions, ex-
pressed very strong desire for a good
many things. If it had confined itself to
one or two it would have stood a better
chance of getting eventually all it wants
than it win of getting any one of the things
mentioned in its resolutions. 1t is gener-
ally a mistake to undertake too much at
the outset

Choose Wisely.

Il is 10 be hoped that the council will
choose wisely in filing the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of Alderman Wells. IL
IS not, of course, an easy matter to do this,
because many Of those who would be gem
orally acceptable cannot be induced TO take
the place. 1t would be better TO let the
vacancy remain untitled for awhile than TO

A progressive man Of good business sense

attend the council meetings regularly. The
Office, though in some respects a thankless
one, is too important to permit the
duties attached to it to be neglected.
It is not possible, probably, to
find man who has all the qualifications
that an alderman should have, but it is
probable that one can be found who has
some of the most necessary ones A special
effort should be made to get one who has a
very clear and comprehensive understand
ing OF the city's interests and how they can
be best promoted. 1t would be misfor-
tune to get man into the council

is growing rapidly, and that a wise and
liberal administration of her affairs will
help greatly to make her great city. By
a liberal policy is not meant wasteful
one, but one that encourages the making of
improvements. There are plenty of men
who would like to see the city run along
in the old RUS. They cannot be
made to understand that her needs are very
different from what they were quartz r of
a century ago, and that improvements are
now imperatively demanded that were
hardly thought of then. The streets must
be paved, other streets must be opened, a
more comprehensive system of water works,
and a system of house drainage, must be
provided.
The growth of the city has been some
what retarded by the failure to open streets
beyond the built-up sections. 1t is prob
able that if a liberal policy had been
pursued with respect to the opening of
streets years ago the city's population
would now be several thousand greater than
it is and that there would be million dol
lars more of taxable property.
1t would be grave mistake to select a
man for the vacancy who would oppose
everything calculated to help build up the
city.

Gov. Toole and His Critics.

Gov. Toole, of Montana, is being very
severely criticized by the republican press
for declaring in his proclamation conven-
ing the legislature of that state that per-
sons holding certificates of election from the
county clerks of their respective counties
are entitled to seats in that body. The
statute of Montana on which the governor
based his declaration is as follows: 1.-THE
certificate of election from the clerk of the
proper county shall be held and considered
as prima facie evidence of the right to
membership of the person certified therein
to be elected, for all purposes of organiza-
ton of either branch of the legislative
assembly,"
This statute seems to be very clear and
to sustain the governor fully in his course.
The republican press calls him usurper and
threatens him with all sorts of evils. 1t Is
probable that what it says about him will
do him no harm.
The governor and the democrats hold
that the election of Oct. l took place under
the territorial government. The republicans
assert that it took place under the constitu-
ton which the constitutional convention
had Just previously adopted. The constitu-
ton provides that the certificates of cleo
ton which show who are entitled to mem
bership in the legislature must be issued by
the state board of canvassers. This board
is also provided for by the new constitu-
ton.
AS the constitution had not been adopted
when the election was held, but was voted
on at that election, it would seem as if the
governor was right in assuming that the
election was held under the territorial gov
eminent In fact, it is said that the re-
publican state officials agreed with the gov
ernor on this point until after it was de-
cided by the republican leaders to make an
effort to steal the state.
The republican press says that If the
democrats OF Montana should succeed in
sending two senators to Washington they
would not be admitted to seats in the Sen.
ate, and that, therefore, the Montana demo
Gratis are wasting their time in trying to
elect senators. This statement in effect
amounts to this: 1t makes no difference
whether the democrats are right or not, the
United States Senate will see to it that so
far as Montana is concerned only repub-
licans will be admitted to seats in that body.
The republican press may be right about
this. The republicans. who have a majority
of the Senate, are not averse to overriding
the law.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the re-
publican newspapers in discussing the
Montana trouble fail to state the grounds
for Gov. Toole's action. They leave it to
be inferred that he is acting arbitrarily and
despotically, and without the shadow of
authority to support him. Doubtless they
are forced to adopt tactics of this kind in
order to hide from their readers the fact
that they are trying to get the Montana
senatorships by fraudulent means.

Mr.. Updike Takes a Hopeful View.


The frequent mention of the Rev Mr. Up
dlKes name IN the papers in connection with
the Sufnmerheld church troubles brings TO mind
an interesting story of an amusing interview
with Mr. Updike, which narrowly escaped caus-
ing great sensation. 1t was three or four
years ago, when a Juror was on over the COS
tunes worn by ballet girls. or rather the lack of
costumes, and movement was being inaugu-
rated for the advent of dresses. A reporter was
sent out by one of the papers to interview the
ciergyrnen on the subject, and in due time he
reached the Rev. Mr.. Updike.
VIII you please tell me what you think of the
ballet?'' he asked
1t is the greatest institution of modern
times, responded the reverend gentleman, TO
the astonishmeat of the reporter. Il think it is
destined to work marvellous changes and re-
formation in our social institutions 1t will

The very unusual occurrence of a Swear
old child dying from nicotine poisoning is
reported from Harlingero. N. ]. When
little George Joyce was only year old, he
made a play thing of his fathers pipe. The
parents thought it was very amusing.
When he was years old, he pulled away
at the pipe in most remarkable manner.
and the smoke did not make him sick. His
foolish parents thought it was very fine
thing indeed, and they would invite the
neighbors to come in and ''see Georgy hit
the pipe" The natural result followed The
child was finally forced to succumb to the
poison Of the nicotine, and the other day he
went into commissions, which were almost
incessant until his death. The physician
said that smoking undoubtedly brought on
the convulsions.
