of tho Lenox, through his truElprt, "l!,

When the two vessels were abreast of

ceased to move through the water, al
though the engines of the Lenox were
working at high speed, with her propcl-

For a minute or two the officers of the
Lenox could not comprehend what had

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
A Railroad Train Caught by a Prairie
Fire in Dakota.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., April 8.-The
people on the passenger train from the
East on the St. Paul road Saturday had
an exciting experience near Mount Yer
non. A prairie fire was raging around
the track, and the engineer, not know
ing its extent: expected to run through
to safety in few moments He found
the fire getting worse, however, and
could not run back as the flames behind
had made the track unsafe. The pas
sengers and train hands got out and
foug ht the fire, but the danger kept in
creasinS. Finally the engineer was Or
dered to proceed as to remain still would
have been fatal. 1t was feared that the
rails were warped, and the passengers
expected terrible accident, but after
what seemed long period Of suspense,
the train emerged from the smoke and
flames in safety. The women passen-
gers were terribly agitated by their
alarming experience.

ATCRIsoN AND Topeka GET IT.

The new police commission law makes
it, practically. mandatory for the gov
ernor to appoint police commission for
every first class city in the state. The
Topeka senator got in an amendment to
the first section of the bill which he
thought would save the bacon of the
goody good towns, but it did not.
Atchison and Topeka, therefore, will
be treated, and that right speedily, to a
dose of the medicine which they helped
to prepare for others, and which with
such gIee they administered to Wichita.
We are glad of it. mo town is bigger than
the state" Both of these towns petition
ed the administration which saddled the
commission on Wichita, for a govern
ment under that system, but their petit
lions were unceremoniously pigeon
holed. But petitions are no longer
necessary. Governor Humphrey is
fair-minded man who don't believe in
making fish of one town and fowl of an
other. We trust, however, that Gov
ernor Humphrey before naming COM
mission for Atchison will have the
political fairness to confer with the edi-
tor of the leading Republican daily Of
that city as to whose appointment would
best conserve the interests of the Re-
publican party of that county and city.

BEEF INSPECTION.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
A goodly number of people in this city
are afraid the crank legislation on the
subject of meat inspection will prevent
Wichita becoming a great packing cen
ter and prevent the growth of the city.
1t is well established principle that by
concentrating products the cost of ship
ping is reduced and the producer bene-
fitted. OF course beef is worth more in
Wichita for the New York market if it
can be dressed and shipped in refrigera-
tor cars, The reason that farmers donot
ship their wheat in the straw is because
it can be threshed and reduced to flour
and shipped cheaper. The railroads
would get more is the wheat were ship
ped in the straw but the farmers would
get less. Just in the same manner. if
Kansas farmers are compelled TO ship
their cattle east, viii the railroads be
benefited, and the patient ass of a
farmer viii foot the bill, just as he does
in many other instances where legislation
is made TO benefit somebody else 1t is
fact that our packing interests would
get backSet if this sort of legislation
prevails; but if people are compelled TO
| ship live cattle all over the country our
Burton car works viii come to the front
IN grand shape. Thousands of men
would beemployed in this city to furnish
the cars TO ship the cattle. There is no
car built that equals the Burton for long
shipments of cattle. Thus you see if YOU
push the Peerless Princess down at one
place she comes up smiling in another.
Don't worry about Wichita, she Is ell
| right. FARMER DooLITTLE.

THE CANADIAN BUDGET
GIobe-Democrat.

Globe Democrat.
The annual statement of the Canadian
minister of finance. which was delivered
few days ago, contained an argument
that taxation is the only gateway to
progress and development. The con-
tention is more convenient than logical,
and however consoling to minister who
proposes to levy increased or new taxes,
it is not likely to carry conviction TO the
hearts of those who have to pay them.
Minister Foster had, as usual, deficit to
start with-not very large one, bat
still nearly million dollars. Last
years budget contained an esti-
mate of a surplus of twice the
amount of the deficit. SO that the rela-
tive proportion between the coun-
trv's income and expenditure is about
50 900, 900 worse than anticipated. De-
ticits have been the rule in Canada for
several years, although quite substantial
SURPRISES have as regularly been prom
ised. Under these circumstances there
is nothing very remarkable in Mr..
Fosters rather fanciful theory as to the
glory of increased taxation. He was
onlv irving to reconcile his hearers and
their constituents to the absolutely in
evitable.
In 1873 the cost Of running the do
nlinion government was S23 900, 000
During the ten years that have inter-
vened there has been a steady in
crease, and since 1881 the advance has
been. as nearly as possible. 81, 0o0, 600
annually. Last year the actual
expenditure was $50, 71S, 900, the estimate
for this year is $50, 600, 900, and for 1890
a fraction less. But the annual state
ment may be searched in vain for any
guarantees that the nominal reductions
spoken of will actually take place. Sir
Richard Cartright, the Liberal leader, IL
criticizing it twitted the minister of
finance with having initiated every one
of his conservative predecessors IN pre-
dieting reduction which he knew
would never take effect. He prophe-
sled an increase and adduced some very
tangible reasons for his contention, con-
vinclpg many In the house that.
although the government proposed
to raise $50. ia. 900 next year, the
expenditure will exceed that SUM by
several thousands. In fact there is
nothing whatever to indicate that any
check has been given to the upward ten
dency of the national expenditure.
In Canada the practice has always pre-
vailed Of charging every doubtful item
10 capital rather than revenue, and the
public debt is enormous. 1t is now $685..
COO, coo, or nearly $50 to every nan,
woman and child in the dominion. Ii
is true. much os this large sum has
gone to encourage public works, rail
roads, and other enterprises But the
outlay has been singusa.ly unproduc-
tive in almost every instance, and
there is very little TO show for
the money. One thing il has
certainly no, done; j. has lot put public
works and offices on such basis as 90

MORTGAGE INSPECTION.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
The question of Dlacino yvester

The question of placing western mort
gage companies, who offer their securi-
ties for sale in Massachusetts, under the
inspection and control of state board
of inspection is assuming considerable
prominence and attracting the attention
of money lending classes, large and
small, generally. The object is to
license and keep these companies under
state inspection for the purpose of pro-
tecting investors in that state against
the liability of purchasing poor securi-
ties. By such means, only companies
doing legitimate loan business. on a
conservative basis, could stand the test
Of an examination into their business
and the character of their securities.
This question is being considerably agi-
tated all over the New England states
and meets with much favor, as their
similar laws regulating or scrutinizing
the business of the saving banks Of the
east, are now the greatest support the
saving banks have, as the fact that they
bear inspection well, is a reinsurance
of their safe policy and their soundness.
The legitimate farm, mortgage and
city loan companies of the west now dis
posing of their securities in the east need
just some such legislation for the reason
that their regulation in that way by the
commission or the inspectors would be a
guarantee Of the stability of their bust
ness methods and the safe character of
the loans they make. With such an en-
dorsement of official character, the
lenders Of money in the east would
naturally and properly feel less hest
fancy about buying the securities offered
than otherwise, because they would be
assured of the safe character of the
same Nothing would be more bene-
fetal to the borrower or the western
company than such inspection, for
naturally money would seek the invest
ments indicated, with no risk of hazard
and consequent probable lower rate of
interest would result.
Such legislation will tend to improve
the reputation Of all securities offered by
the companies so licensed, and every
western farming section and every west
ern city of true merit will be conse-
quently benefited in reputation and in
fact. Kansas and Wichita as interested
parties will gladly be subjected to the
most rigid inspection by the eastern au-
thorities as they profit by investigation.
EQUITY.

A LADY PROTESTS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Is it not time that the women of
Wichita call halt? Can there be a
sadder spectacle than has lately been
witnessed in our city, when Christian
women not only listen to but applaud
sentiments directly contrary the teach
ings of the book that they have pro-
fessed to choose as their guide? When a
professedly Christian woman extols Eve
as "that glorious woman who dared to
reach out her hand and pluck the for
hidden fruit that humanity in all ages
might have knowledge of good and
evil" 1t seems to be forgotten that God
cursed that same GLORIOUS woman"
for her disobedience and that through
her disobedience sin and death entered
into the world. Is it not, to say the
least, inconsistent for missionary societies
to endorse such sentiments Societies
thzt have for their avowed object the
presenting to lost humanity that one
who came to redeem from the very sin
that women brought into the world?
The Argument that mankind would not
have attained to any knowledge if Eve
had not dlsobeyed the command is a
specious one, for what proof have we
that humanity came from the planet
of the heavenly father ignorant? On the
contrary the word explicitly states that
this creation was good, and being
created in the image of his Maker must
have been near perfection in every
sense.
Does not the teachings Of the average
suffragist tend to infidelity: Do chris
tian women realize whittier they are
being led? Would it not be well to pause
and consider?
The millennium will not be ushered in
by equal suffrage, but on the contrary
there will be a worse pandemonium
than now. Even now society seems
a vast cauldron into which are cast a
mass of boiling, fermenting ingredients,
and the most baneful Of all the concOm-
itants that go to make up the witches
broth" is this woman's suffrage move
ment. Baneful because Of the attempt
to set aside or explain away the plain
teaching OF the Bible and place woman
in position God never designed her for
A WOMAN
