cussion Of the brain.
All of the theories that have been hereto
fore advanced to establish the claim that
Robert B. Dean, the glassworker, who died
at the Southside Hospital yesterday morn
ing. had been assaulted, were exploded yes
terday, when DR.. Arnholt and DIR. Thomas,
of the hospital staff. made up their report on
the autopsy held by them.
It will be remembered that Dean was
found under trestle at the foot Of South
Thirteenth street one day last week with 3
fractured skull. His friends at once set up
claim that he had been assaulted and
robbed, but the police dlscredited this
theory. DIR. Prossman made the most
plausible statements to show that the man
had been assaulted. He said there were no
bruises or cuts on the man such as he would
be likely to receive through fall. The cut
on Deans head was clean one, and the
only one on Deans body.
WHAT THE AUTOPSY SHOWED.
The result OF the autopsy held yesterday
will be. made known officially at the in
quest this afternoon. DIR. Arnholt stated
last night, however, that the wounds were
not such as to indicate that Dean had been
assaulted. 1t is true that there were no ex-
ternal injuries except the cut in the head.
This was about an inch long and half an
inch wide, and included the space made by
the removal of fragments of the skull. A
eoncussion or rupture ofa blood vessel was
located on the left side of the head, oppo-
site the wound, and this fact alone removes
the theory Of assault. The man died ofcon-
cussion Of the brain.
THE CoRoNER's INVESTIGATION.
Coroner Mcdowell commenced an inVes-
tigation in the case yesterday morning. The
only witnesses examined were Jane Dean,
wife Of the deceased, and Sarah Dean, his
mother. He lett home on Monday, NoVem-
Der 18, went to his mothers at Penn station,
and stayed until the 23d. On the oath he,
was found by the Southside poles insensi-
Bile. How he spent the oath neither the
wife or mother knew. The inquest will be
concluded at o'clock this afternoon. It is
almost certain the verdict will be one Of
accidental death"
wHAToFFICIALS SAY.
Inspector McKelvy stated last night thai
when Dean appeared before Magistrate
Brokaw the morning following his discovery
under the trestle, he made no complaint Of
having been assaulted, and that when the
magistrate intimated that he intended TO
send Dean to Jail for five days, the latter's
wife requested that the time be increased to
ten days. She said she did not believe her
husband could sober up in five days.
Deans body was removed to Semmel.

UTAE'S INVOLVEMENT.

The political situation in Utah is as
full of interest, locally, as it has been in
any other portion of the country prior to
an election, though OF a different nature.
There the contest is between the Nor
mans and Liberals, the latter embracing
the nti-Mormons without regard to
party affiliations as to national politics.
The issue seems to turn on question of
morals if we may judge from the tone of
the press. The Mormons, odd as it may
sound, put a great deal of stress upon
the moral condition of the Liberal party,
but the latter would have to be most cor
rupt, indeed, if it were made to suffer in
comparison. But as far as the popular
estimate of the controversy there is con-
cerned, it has been made up long ago,
and the conclusion arrived at is that
there is no place in our social or political
economy for the practice of the loath-
some, debacing tenets of Mormonism.
1t is gratifying to be assured that this
odious ban that has hung about the
neck of Utah SO long, holding it down in
the moral scale and retarding its mate
rial progress, has been broken and is
being rapidly succeeded by an enlight
ening and ennobling sentiment that ere
long will fit the territory for sisterhood
among the states and bring it rapidly up
the scale of progress and influence.

PROVES TOO MUCH

Every few days we see in the Demo-
cratic and mugwump press abatement to
the effect that during the four years of
Cleveland'S administration there were
but 1893 changes in the whole railway
postal service, while in seven months of
the present administration there have
been made IN that service 9, 434 changes.
If the statement is true it only shows
that the Cleveland administration was
derelict in permitting the 435 incom-
petents to remain in the service the four
years of its regime. We say incom-
petents, because it is unreasonable to
conclude or suppose that that number of
Democrats could have gotten into the
service under Republican administra-
lions, or that SO many Democrats could
have run the gauntlet for thirty years
and remained in that branch of the
service. The logic of the statement Is
no doubt meant to prove that official
changes under the present administra-
ton have been more sweeping than
under its immediate predecessor. If SO
our friends, the enemy, may be assured
that the only complaint that the admins
tration's party has to make in that
matter is that the sweep has not been
made clean and complete. However,
logic that proves too much is bad logic,
and the case above cited is one of that
sort. evidently.

AMERICAN GENEROSITY.

From the Kansas Chle1.
The people of the United States can be
depended upon for whole-souled gen.
eroslty, when a proper occasion offers.
Only last week, the telegraph reported
that Mrs. Della Stewart Parnell, mother
of the Irish leader, was in actual want,
and that her home was about to be sold
under mortgage. Mrs. Parnell is a
daughter of Commodore Charles Stewart,
a naval hero of the war of 1919, and for
long time commander of the famous
ship Constitution, known as "Old Iron
Sides" The Stewart estate, now owned
by Mrs. Parnell, is called "Old Iron
Sides" and is situated at Borden
town, New Jersey. Within twenty
four hours after the report,
orders by telegraph contributing money
came pouring in from every direction.
In few hours she was placed above
want. the interest on the mortgage was
raised, and sum well under way to pay
off the mortgage of $4,000. Mrs. Parnell
did not let her son know Of her need,
thinking he had more trouble of his own
than he could bear without this. 1t
seems that none of the grocerymen of
Bordentown would credit Mrs. Parnell
for the necessaries of life, except an
freshman named Flynn, and her needy
condition was made known by a faithful
Irish servant We suppose that nowhere
on earth can the two-legged hog be
found in such perfection as among the
one-horse business men OF small New
Jersey town.

a TEST OF WEALTH.

From the Hartford Post.
A great deal of discussion has been Set
into motion by the statement made by
Thomas G. Sherman, of Brooklyn, in
one of the great monthly reviews, and
reiterated by HIM in another, with more
detail. 1t is TO the effect that % 900 peo-
pie own half the property in the country.
The statement is not, as we understand
it, all absolute one, but is qualified by
the well known difficulty of getting at
the exact amount of the wealth of any
single individual or set of individuals.
This fact, granted that it may be a fact,
is considered in the light of something
very awful and as tending towards a
plutocracy of wealth. The true test of a
nations wealth, however, is not to be
made by any such assertion. In the
consideration of the distribution of wealth
and prosperity of the nation the question
should be, not how few or how many
have large fortunes, but how many
possess 500? How many $500? How
many $1,000? How many $4,000?
How many over $4,000 and less than
100000? How many 81 100000: How
many $10,OOO,OOO? How many $50, OOO,-
600? How many 800, 100000 or more?
The answers to the inquiries give us
something by which to judge the actual
prosperity of the country as reflected in
the condition of its people. The more
people who have small amounts, COM
paratively, which they call their own,
the wider spread is the area of material
comfort and the more inspiration exists
to increase those amounts and thus give
life and energy to business. Combina-
tions will have their day; competition
will have its day. Neither one or the
other will in the end prevail, but the
comfort of the masses-not necessary
the idle or the vicious 'reformatory"
masses-will be the true test of wealth.
Not how much few rich men may own.
Wichita eagle., 1889-11-22

Kansas City papers nagged the base
ball club of that place during the season
just closed for its failure to hold an even
hand with the clubs composing the asso-
cation to which it belonged. The club
withdrew from the association and joined
the Western League, and the critical
papers aforementioned are trying to
console themselves with the idea that
after all the Western League is as good
as any other association. or course it
is: but it is doubtful if the Kansas City
club will fare any better in 1t than it has
in the association from which it with
drew. If it is handicapped by the same
management and discouraged by the
same critical spirit from the city press as
hitherto. its record for 1890 will be no
improvement over that of the past.
Nevertheless the change affords the Hill
City an opportunity to satisfy its ambi-
ton. i. e. TO lead on the diamond. if only
it can work itself up to the demands.

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.
The Emporia Republican in the fol

The Emporia Republican in the fol-
lowing voices our sentiments to dot:
There is movement going on in this
and other western states whose import
ance politicians should not underesti-
mate. The newspapers have long been
telling the farmers that they should take
more active interest in politics-that as
long as they permit the professional pol
itlcians to run the state and government
to suit themselves the agricultural inter-
ests would never be properly cared for.
The farmers have at last come to real
ize the truth Of these suggestions, and
are beginning to act upon them. They
are organizing in many states in order
that they may act unitedly and hence
effectively. Their influence was felt in
the recent eleetions-in Ohio, against
third-termism; in Iowa, against railroad
rule; in Kansas, against bossism and ia
voritism-in all these states against
real or supposed disposition to ignore
the rights of the farmers while pander-
ing to corporate and capitalistic inter-
eSts.
In short, the American farmer is ''on
his ear and means henceforth to shape
the government, in which he is such an
important factor, little more in keep
ing with his wishes and needs. Just what
he wants done he probably doesn't know
himself Bnt he is convinced that
things are not going on as they should
do, and he is determined to assert HIM
self, and trust to the future to point out
the proper method of procedure.
No one doubts that if the agriculturists
of the country-the great mass of pro-
ducers, the citizens who are entitled to
the distinction of being the creators Of
the countrys wealth-were TO act con-
certedlv in politics, they could easily
control the national and most of the
state governments. The farmers them
selves know this. But the difficulty is
in organization. The forces are so
scattered and unwieldy that to under
take TO bring them together into united
whole seems a herculean if not hope
less task.
But the attempt is going to be made
is being made now. The Farmers alli-
ances here and there are the advance
guard of the movement. The prices of
farm products are kept unreasonably
low, through the Vaccinations of the
trusts and combines, and the producers
mean to see if a remedy can't be found.
Congress and the state legislatures meet
and discuss and daily. but give no relief.
The trusts always come out ahead. This
Is becoming monotous. To the farmer
it is expensive, and he proposes to stop
it. The politicians may pooh-pooh his
movement now, but later on they will
not. We shall see what We shall see.

ENFORCEMENT AND NONENFORCE-
MENT
From the Winfield Courier.

From the Winfield Courier
The partial failure to enforce the law
in certain localities has bred discomfort
and uneasiness in others. The business
interests, ever sensitive to local effects,
have come to believe that enforcement
in one locality as against non-enforce-
ment in another operates against the one
which honestly enforces law. Not de-
string to appear in the role Of vioIators.
they prefer to return TO the license svs-
tenn rather than longer submit to what
seems to be serious discrimination against
them. Thus many who were formerly
strong adherents of prohibition have
changed front and are today advocating
reSubmission as the shortest way out of
the difficulties and abuses which seem to
surround them. These facts and condi-
tions prohibitionists must meet, and
meet with candid argument and con-
yincing fact if they would stem the tide
of sentiment which has undoubtedly set
in toward resubmission.
