JUsTIN's THEoHY.
Experiments Prove Its Correctness of
Former Explosions.

UTICA, n. ", Oct. 3o.-Another ex-
pertinent with Justin's dynamite car
fridge was made at Perryville to-day.
The shell was similar to the one used
the last time, excepting it was bored
out OF solid steel and had no blow holes,
and was three-quartors instead of hye-
eighths inches in thickness. A twelve
ton Blakely rifle was used, similar to the
two that burst in the previous expert
ments. The shell weighed 275 pounds,
stead OF dynamite. The charge was
thirty pounds hexagonal powder.
The shell was fired into a sandbank
at distance of thirty yards, and re-
covered almost intact. The shell Was
opened and testified to the correctness
OF Justin's theory of the late explosions
of the gun. Another test will be made
with the same SHELL and on the third
test dynamite will again be used.

UNION PACIFIC BUSINESS.
Thirty Fer Cent. More Tramo Than
Equipment.

CHIcAoo Oct. 3l.-Pre.ident Charles
Francis Adams, of the Union Pacific
railroad. speaking to-day of the pro-
posed revision Of rates which has aroused
the antagonism of some of the eastern
connections of the Union Pacific said
that it was matter simply between his
road and the Chicago Il Northwestern.
He has no apprehension that other lines,
in the long rum will decline to partici-
pate in traffic on the same terms with
the Northwestern. He was inclined TO
think the talk was gotten up more for
Wall street than nywhere else. Tho
Union Pacific has sustained great loss
of traffic and income of late be-
cause by the ftct that Eastern machine
shops are so crowded that they cannot
ill orders for new equipment. Had tho
road been able to secure motive power
and equipment ordered six months ago,
it would have earned in October upwards
of s., ,0OO, 600 instead OF $4,000, 600. The
traffic ready for 1t to handle to-day Is 80
per cent. in excess OF its capacity.

NOT CALLED TO ROME.
Archbishop Ireland on the Position
OF the Church,

ST. PAUL, Oct. 30.--A rchbishp Ireland
was interviewed this evening regarding
the widely circulated report tina, he had
been called to Rome on account OF his
utterances on the public school at the
educational convention last summer.
"Why, it is perfectly absnrd," said
the archbishop. at is false frorn be
ginning to end. Rome has not con-
demned and never will condemn cum
pusory education. Compulsory educa-
tion is matter of civil or social policy,
and not a matter of religion. 1t does
not come within the purview Of ecclesi-
astical jurisdiction. 1t appertains to
citizens, not to churchmen, to decide 1t.
For my own part as citizen, l

ton. lllaws restricting If not abolish

versal education have my heartiest ap-
proval, and ii occasion offers in Minne-

wAsHINGToN's POPULATION.
Five Times as Large as It Was Five
Years Age.

WAsHrNGros, Oct. 3l.-The census
bulletin says that the growth OF Wash.
ington has been phenomenal, the popu-
lation in 1890 being nearly five times
that of 1885. As is shown by the state
census taken in 1885, the growth has
been almost entirely during the last five
years OF the decade. The inducements
which have attracted settlers are, in the
main, its fertile soil and ample rainfall,
which enable farming to be carried on
without irrigation over almost the entire
state. The growth of Oregon, though
less rapid has been at a rate of nearly
so per cent. during the past decade.
The numerical increase has been
1877, 100, of which over four-fifths has
been acquired during the past hve years.
The additions to it's population are
mainly in the valleys of the Columbia
and Willamette rivers.

No Danger From tho Sioux II the
Law Is Enforced.

WAsHINGToS, Oct. 30.-General Ruger,
commanding the department OF Dakota,
to-day submitted TO the war depart
ment his annual report. Ruger says
there is no reason in general to appre-
hend molestation of settlers upon the
lands of the Sioux reservation even by
the most disatfected Indians, ii the lat
ter are kept under military observation
for a time at few points where friction
will most likely result from settlements.
Respecting the threatened trouble at
Flathead Lake, Mont, he says it ap-
pears upon inquiry that there is little
probability of serious trouble, and that
enforcement by the civil officers of the
statute prohibiting the sale of liquor to
Indians and half breeds is the principal
necessity OF the case. He approves the
post canteen system.

LEGISLATION FOR FARMERS

WE are in receipt of letters at
w the Alliance headquarters from
our brethren from all parts of the
country. Many are especially desir-
Gus of knowing the opinions of those
that they suppose are, by virtue of
their positions, able to inform them as
to the prospects concerning needed
legislation for the relief of the farmer
and laborer.
Our leaders have their views and l
thought a "high private's" opinion
might be of interest.
The members of this Congress was
elected as Democrats or Republicans
and not as Reformers.
To illustrate the position [ take in
reference to any good coming out of
Nazareth, 1 will give you a story.
"Here's yer nice hot lunches. Fri
chicken'n' bIskIts, fresh and hotl'
cried the we'll known darkey lunch
vender as the train stopped at Salt
Springs.
"Is the chicken tender ?" queried a
portly gentleman, as he poked his head
out at the window.
"Yassah. Young n tender, an
des es sweet an fat"
Where do you get your chickens?"
"See here, boss, wha you fun ?"
asked the old darkey, staring hard at
the stranger.
"I'm from Michigan"
Thought you wus strange in desc
diggins."
"Why did you think so ?"
Cease, boss, er wife gentlemen wat
ben horned down Souf here nuver
axes er culled person wey dey git dey
chickens"
So say L. Any one acquainted
with the "party LASH" the pressure
Of "party caucus" cannot hope for
any legislation not dictated by the
bosses.
The farmers and laborers have no
lobby, and it is from tina, great source
that the average Congressman gets
his Congressional chicken.

AN EYE-OPENER.

TN a farmers convention held in To-
i peka, Kansas, on the 18th ult., a
resolution was adopted declaring that
they would support no man for the
legislature who was in favor of re-
turning ]. J. Ingalls, to the U. S.
Senate. They give as a reason that
they a point to no measure he has
championed in the interest of the
great agricultural and laboring ele-
ment Of Kansas. A strong partisan
paper in that State some weeks ago
served notice on the Senator that the
"bloody shirt " and sectionalis had
played out with the farmers # the
great West, and advised him TO ad-
dress himself to the great living and
vital issues of the Spresent if he *,
pected to hold his position. T. ey
do not charge that the Senator has
been wanting in fidelity to party, but
