ing in his behalf, yet when II came to q
question Of personal choice, would not
hesitate to give his Southern oppressor
and owner the preference as his friend
and protector.
1t is true in less degree to-day, and
the colored people will invariably go to
Southern people when they live in a
town where there is the possibility of a
choice.
Nor is II any reflection on anybody,
nor is 1t in any degree political. 1t is
ethnologic, personal and domestic, and,
in the case of Mrs. Harrison, ex.
actly what might be expected, and di-
rectly in line with her right TO do just
as she pleased. There are servants and
servants and mistresses and mistresses,
and the best servant to the best mistress
is the result not of absolute personal
perfection on the part of either, but OF
the mutual adsptability of employer
and employe, be they black, white, red
or yellow.
The New York Herald has II now in
black and white, and 1t is to be hoped
that it will permit Mrs. Harrison to
keep house as best suits Mrs. HARRISON

THE TREATMENT OF ANARCHISTS.

An incident of late occurrence in the
Indiana Female Reformatory suggests q
treatment for Anarchists, which would,
no doubt, reform half Of them. There
was revolt in the reformatory and the
women, armed with knives, defed the
keepers. They were threatened with
cold water from hose, and. at once
surrendered.
The criminal, male or female, is not
addicted to over-cleanliness. The crimi-
nal does not like water, and of all
classes of evil-doers the Anarchist seems
to object to water most Suppose the law
were that any one convicted Of Anarch-
istic acts should be daily, during the
period of his incarceration, subjected
TO magnificent washing from hose.
What blatant agitator from over seas
would risk such sentence as that !?
The suggestion of the Indiana incident
seems worthy of gravest consideration.
The REPUBLICANS of Chicago and St.
Louis have, in each instance, nominated
for Mayer good, solid men, not especially
popular. The outcome is awaited with In
terest, not unmixed with anxiety, In the
cities named.

Liberal Now Assured Of an Unlimited
Supply-The Last ef the Buffalo.

LIBERAL, Kan, Feb t6.-The question
of receiving water supply here sufficient
to meet the wants of a growing city is now
definitely settled. The r ock Island Rail
way company bored hole here some time
ago which at a depth OFT $40 feet reached
the third sheet of water underlying this
section of country, and ha'H, since furnish
ed an abundant supply of good water, but
the company wanted to sse cure aD addit-
ional supply and therefore ad we'll dug
which reached water yestens lay noon at
depth of $50 feet, this BEN the second
sheet. A pump was put into his well and
it has since the last thirty h ours thrown
out steady stream of water'i three inches
in diameter. Our citizens are much re-
joced over the fact that the are now
definitely assured of an unlinIbt ted supply
of water.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 26.-The South
ern Pacific Railway company for some
time past has been running weekly excur-
sions from New Orleans to the City of
Mexico The trains are vestibuled and are
generally occupied by wealthy people, who
carry money with them. One passed
through here, southwark bound, seven
days ago, under the charge of the regu-
lar officials. 1t contained eighty-tive
passengers who were bound tor the sister
republic to see sights. They saw them as
far as the Mexican capital and started on
the back trip, which was made smoothly
until until Barotaran was reached. Baro-
taran is a station on the Mexican Inter
national railway, eighty miles in the inte-
rior and situated in very lawless coun-
try. The inhabitants of the section there
abouts make their living be stealing and
selling what they have stolen. The cOun-
try is sterile and devoid of farms, and
the inhabitants are mostly Llpan IN
dians and Seminoles The nearest town
of Importance IS Villa DemusqniZ. which
handles the trade for that entire section.
and furnishes, among other things, fair
complement of Cutthroats. Wnen the
train reached Barotarau it was running
thirty miles an hour The first init ma
ton given the passengers of an accident
came from the forward end OF the YES
thule which left the track and was fol-
lowed by the other cars. The train hands
prepared for an attack, but none came and
the jacks were applied and the train pro-
ceeded An examination showed that
some one had inserted a portion OF a rail
into the switch, which resulted in the de-
railment, presumably with the object of
robbery The railway people do not pre-
tend to explain it beyond saying that ''it
was the work OF the crazy Mexicans." The
train was due yesterday evening at 4
o'clock. and was delayed more than TWEEN
tv-four hours The sleeping car
Trinidad was so badly broken that
it was left at Piedras Negras. while the
remainder of the train came on. The pas
sengers refused to be interviewed on the
matter. but are pretty badly broken up by
their prolonged travel and the experiences
thew had been through. All passenger
trains which run TO the capital over the
Mexican International are usually heavily
guarded, but upon this occasion there was

Ku pnIN AND DEMPSEY.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 26.-Jake kilraii
tonight positively refused to listen to any
proposition looking to glove contest for
scientific points with Jack Dempsey. He
says he would be willing to meet Dempsey
in private where decision could be
reached. or would fight him twelve
rounds for a purse, but does not
care for public meeting where there
is always a chance for public interfer-
ence and q draw would be the most he
could expect. He would have everything
TO lose and but little to gain even were the
contest declared in his favor, while Demp--
sew could lose nothing but defeat and
would add to his laurels in case of draw.
The proposition for the ten-round contest
for points came from friend Of Dempsey,
who SAYS Jack is to go to California IN a
few weeks and would like TO spar with
kilrain before going.
Kilrain has received letter from Char
ley Mitchell asking him to come to Eng
land at once. as he thinks there Is big
money to be made in a sparring tour, nd
Jake thinks seriously of accepting the
chance, believing that the trip would do
him good and help HIM get IN condition

unnatural criminal case. Upon the affi-

boy has been missing about three months.
Before the boys disappearance the father
was a jolly, lively talkative man; since the
boy has been missed by the neighbors the
father has been guarded in his converse
