THE SUN
FOR
800.
FOR
4 800.

Some people agree with the Suns opinions
about men and things, and some people
don't; but everybody likes to get hold of the
newspaper which is dull and never
afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know thatfor twenty years The
Sun has fought in the front line for Demo
cratic principles, never wavering or weaken
ing in its loyalty to the true interests of the
party it serves with fearless intelligence and
disinterested vigor. At times opinions have
differed to the best means of accomplish
ing the common purpose; it is not The Suns
fault if it has seen further into the milestone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year
that will probably determine the result of the
Presidential election of 1S92, and perhaps the
fortunes of the Democracy for the rest of the
century. Victory in 1892 is a duty, and the
beginning of 1890 is the best time to start
out in company with The Sun.

leave Denmark with eight comrades
as soon as the ice on the east coast
is likely to be in the most favorable
condition for his reaching the main
land. He will take supplies for two
years, and a steamer will not go to
bring him away until the summer
of 1892.
The breaks in the Mississippi 1evees
have permitted the waters to sub
merge whole sections in Louisiana,
scattering many families and result

and it is expected that June will ar

return to their normal condition.
The Adams express company cele-
DRAFTED the fiftieth anniversary of its
organization in Baltimore last week.
Some idea of the wonderful growth of
business of this character may be
gathered from the fact that in 1910
the working force ofthe Adams COM
pany consisted of two men, two
boys and one wheelbarrow, and
that now the force required is 9297
employees, $500 horses and 1900
wagons.
Gen. ]. c. Fremont is to be con-
graduated on his good luck. For
the past 40 years it was the belief
that he was in debt to the govern
ment for $4,000, but an examina-
ton of accounts few days ago re-
vealed the fact that instead of he
owing the government the govern
ment actually owed him $21 900.
Gen. Fremont is poor man and the
supposed debt has weighed heavily
upon him.
At the annual meeting of the
Massachusetts society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to children it was
reported that the society had inves-
tigated 1928 cases. Of this number,
one or both of the parents of 5000
wereintemperate $50 had lost one
Or both parents, 456 had parent in
prison, and 1O7 were illegitimate;
924 had been placed in families with
public authority or in charitable
houses. During the year 900 cases
were settled in court, and the cases
of4OO children outside of Boston had
been attended to.

roads in progress or incorpora ted
since January 1 number no less than
ga, New England's share being:
Maine five, New Hampshire three,
Vermont three, Massachusetts, eight,

From these and other indications it
seems probable that the railway con-
struction of 1890 will exceed that of
1889, when about 5000 miles were
built.
Destructive Cyclones.
Wilson county, Kansas, was visit
ed on Friday by a destructive cyclone.
Houses, barns, fences and trees were
seized and whirled into fragments.
Three persons are reported to have
lost their lives and many others were
injured. The storm extended east
ward and in northern Missouri much
property was destroyed and several
lives were lost. Franklin, Pa, on
the same day, experienced a very Sc
we're storm in which three persons
lost their lives and many more were
injured. Like reports come from
Akron, Ohio. About IS persons
were injured, but none seriously.
About rs there are homeless, their
houses being leveled to the ground.
One Hundred Burned to Death.
The famous provincial insane asy-
lum situated at Tongue Pointe, nine
miles from Montreal, burned to the
ground Tuesday May 6. About
1900 lunatics were confined within
its walls, over 100 of whom persisted
in the flames. Assistance was offered
many of them but they fought their
rescuers and seemed to take ghoul-
ish fancy to the destroying flames.
On the mems side none were lost.
Among the missing inmates is Mrs.
Mary Shahan of Middlebury, who
was an inmate of the furious" ward.
Mrs. Shahan was a private patient
and came from a well-known aristo-
cratic family in Vermont. The build
ings were of brick, 600 feet long, and
the inmates were treated more like
prisoners than patients. The insti-
tuition was in charge of Catholic
nuns. The money loss is over $780,
900.
Civil Service Reform.
The civil service reform association
held it's annual meeting at New York
last week and President George Will
liam Curtis delivered an address.
He said: THE triumph of our cause
has been indicated by the success Of
its operation. Notwithstanding the
sneers of certain United States Sena-
tors and the wholesale removal of
postmasters in violation of the law,
the spoils system is going, and the
American republic is stronger today
as a result Of it. The friends of re-
form owe much Of the success of the
system to its enemies in Congress
and their victory has been obtained
by the aggressiveness with which it
has been contested. Popular sup
port of civil service reform is greater
than ever and the late debate in the
House of Representatives and its
discussion by the press is of more
significance than Mr.. Clarkson's &C
ton in deposing postmasters.

Third Day.

TOPEKA, KAN, May 22.-Yesterday after
noon occurred the grand parade of the Kan
sas brigade, uniform rank. visiting divisions,
grand lodge officers and members, subordI-
nate lodges and visiting knights.
This was followed by dress parade at the
state fair grounds, and competitive drill by
divisions.
Mayor Cofran issued the following:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, MAYORS OFFICE,
CITY OF TOPEKA, May 20, 1880.
To the Citizens of Topeka:
The Grand Lodge of the knights of Pythias
of the state of Kansas is now in session, as is
also the Uniform Rank of the same order.
They are the guests of the Pytman lodges in
the city by invitation. They are also the
guests of the city.
In order that the citizens may have an op-
por tunity of meeting with the representative
knights from every town in the state, and
also witnessing the drill of the Uniform
Rank, which VIII take place Wednesday p.
m, at the Fair grounds, ana will be very in
teresting, would respectfully ask and recon-
mend that all places of business be closed
from II O'Clock IN. until O'Clock p. m., for
the purposes and reasons above stated.

The Santa Fe's Purchase.

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-The Atchison's ab-
sorption of the Frisco is the engrossing topic
in general circles. The deal was closed and
the papers were signed in Boston and the
final details arranged in New York. and the
official announcement will probably be made
on Monday next. President Winslow, of the
Frisco, will retire in three weeks, and he
states that further changes in the manage
ment will be duly announced by the Atcni-
son people. This is a matter OF Importance
to several hundred employees of the Frisco,
and the sooner their suspense is relieved the
better. Business men here express satisfac-
ton at the Atchison advent. and it is gener-
ally believed that the consolidation of the
itchson, the Frisco and the Atlantic and
Pacific systems will prove to be one of the
strongest railroad combinations west of the
Mississippi, and that st. Louis will gain
strength as the gateway for great transcon-
tinental line to the Pacific coast.
There is no doubt that the work of extend
ing the Frisco line from Sapulpa, l. T., to
Albuquerque will be undertaken at an early
date. This will complete the link for the
Atlantic 4 Pacific system, which is known as
the great middle route to the Pacific coast,
and at Albuquerque connection is made with
the Atchison. Topeka d Santa Fe system for
the north. 1t would be difficult to present a
stronger combination than this for covering
the west and southwest. Its effect upon
traffic matters and the maintenance of rates
remains to be seen.

Along Water Route.

CHICAGO. May 23.-Bernard Esroger, a
Chicago capitalist. has been prosecuting in
quiries through the customs officials for some
time as to the dimensions of the largest craft
which can come up through the st. Lawrence
and the Canadian canals from the Atlantic to
the lakes. The gentleman was informed
that the smallest locks on the route are $50
feet long and forty feet wide, with eight feet
nine inches of water over the inter sills.
Mr.. Esroser then explained that his pro-
ject is to bring fancy woods from South
America to Chicago. For the present the
scheme is an experiment. but he feels conf
dent of success. He will charter two steam
ers and take the risk on two cargoes. If the
venture turns out as he hopes, he will build
two large craft of light draft so that they can
carry good cargoes and yet not draw too
much water for the st. Lawrence lake route.
These first cargoes will be rosewood, black
walnut and mahogany. He has agents in
New York now, and intends leaving for South
America in q few days.

Kansas Indebtedness.

TOPEKA. KAN, May 24.-Accurate figures
have been made here which show the actual
mortgage Indebtedness of the railroads in
Kansas is but s1s5, ia, 10; or an average per
mile of 81, ,212.
This includes mortgages not only on the
road bed, but on rolling stock, shops, general
offices and everything that the companies
hold.
An important feature in this connection is
that. while the amount of mortgages on the
railroads OF Kansas is bu. little over $21,-
coo per mile, the roads owned by these same
companies in other states are mortgaged to
the tune Of nearly $31 900 per mile.
1t Is conceded that the farm mortgage debt
is about $50 OIOOO. 900: city mortgages about
$O.OU,OOO: municipal Indebtedness, as per
auditors report, $50, 71SS3, ,934. and railroad
debt, as per official report, SIS, ,113, ,70.
The average interest on this Indebtedness
is conceded to be por cent, which makes
the aggregate interest paid by Kansas. on all
manner of Indebtedness. including railroads,
but S15, SO s62, instead of $36 42O, 600, as has
heretofore been stated.

Why Goddard Resigned.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The Tribune says it is
now able to announce upon official authority
that the resignation of Mr.. Goddard has been
accepted, to take effect June 1. Mr.. God
darti's resignation is entirely due to the re-
fusal of Traffic Manager Hanley to recognize
his authority. Mr.. Goddard, as second vice
president, was charged with the maintenance
of rates and all other matters appertaining
to the traffic of the company. He is a man
who means to stick to agreements and keep
faith with competitors, but he was thwarted
in his attempts to do SO by Mr.. Hanley, who
made whatever rates and arrangements he
liked without consulting with Mr.. Goddard.
As President Marvel seemed to back Mr..
Hanley, Mr.. Goddard came to the conclusion
that his services were no longer needed on
the Santa Fe. At one time the Milwaukee q
St. Paul tried to secure the services of Mr..
Goddard, but at that time he did not feel In.
clined to leave the Santa Fe, with which he
had been connected for so many years, and
consequently the Milwaukee il st. Paul Sc
cured the services of E. 2. Ripley, general
manager of the Burlington. Although
Mr.. Goddard has several good offers he has
as yet not made up his mind which one to
accept. 1t is his intention to take short
vacation before re-entering active service.

New YORK, May 21.-Among the passen-
gers arriving on the steamship Etruria from
Liverpool was George Francis Train, who
started at once by special train for Tacoma,
to comnlete his Journey around the world.
Mr. Train slid down rope from the big
steamer into tug boat and was brought to
the city from quarantine. He was soon hold
ing an informal reception at his headquarters
in the Continental hotel. looking as bright
and as fresh as when he started. He said he
had been sixty days on the voyage and ex-
pected to finish it in five days more. He has
plenty of time to beat the record without
hurrying. He left on special car attached
to the Chicago limited on the New York Cen
tral and reaches Omaha at 2:30 n. m. to-day.
At that point he takes special train for

Wreck on the Alton.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 24.-Eight miles
east of here, where the Alton ard Missouri
Pacific tracks cross, collision occurred, in
which an Alton passenger train was piled up
in broken fragments. There were three
Pullman coaches in the train, containing 100
people, and these coaches were smashed to
pieces, rolling over and piling up in the pro-
cess, and yet no one was killed, and but few
seriously hurt.
The collision was caused by race between
trains on the two roads, their tracks running
parallel for some distance.
A freight train, which had the right of way
at the crossing, was run into by the wrecked
train.

WASHINGTON d. c., May 2l.-The supreme
court of the United States has rendered an
opinion of vital interest to the Mormon
church: ''In the suit of the Church of Latter
Days against the United States, which comes
here on appeal from the decision of the su-
preme court of Utah, in favor of the United
States, this court affirms that judgement" A"
The case grows out of the passage of the
Edmunds anG-polygamy law by the fortieth
congress. This law, among other things,
dissolved the church corporation and killed
its character: directed the appointment of a
receiver to wind up its affairs, and escheated
to the United States all the real estate owned
BY the church in excess of $4,000, which was
not, on the date of the passage of the act,
held for purposes of worship or burial.
When the United States, under the terms of
this act, began proceedings to confiscate
about $3.50, ZOO worth of property belonging
to the church the Mormons Immediately en-
tered suit to have the Edmunds law declared
unconstitutional.
1t was argued in their behalf that congress,
by the dissolution of the church corporation,
had assumed judicial powers, and that the
act of the legislature IN Utah, incorporating
the church. constituted contract which
could not be impaired by congress under its
authority to repeal territorial enactnents.
1t was also held that the doctrine of eschew
was alien to the spirit of free institutions,
and that it never had been applied in this
Country to church or charitable corpora
ton.
On the part of the United States it was in
tended that congress had authority to repeal
all territorial enactments, that tho act incor-
porating the church was invalid, as an at
tempt to establish a church contrary to the
provisions of the constitution, and that the
charter should be annulled for abuse of the
granted rights, as, when the church corpora
tion was dissolved, there was no one to whom
to turn over the property, 1t was properly
escheated to the United States.

rnk Talks

PARIS. May 21.-In the interview recently
had with him by Des Sioux. the French Jour-
nalis.. Prince Bismarck said that the danger
ahead lay in TIE sentimental anger of the
French over the loss of Alsace-L Lorraine.
Surposing that France and Russia crushed
Germany. he said who would be the eainer?
Russia would certainly then devour France.
Germany was the bulwark of eastern Europe
against Russian invasion. Talking with a
"orresrondent of the Navoe Vremya, of St.
Petersburg. the ex-chancellor declared that
the labor conference was blow in the air. The
discomfort of capitalists was much more dam
cerous than the discomfort of workingmen.

Farmers as Politicians.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 21.-The down.
fall of Congressman Turner IN Kansas has
given to many a candidate for denomination
rude shock. 1t is, of course, attributed to
the Alliance, and is interpreted as meaning
that the farmer will be power in politics
this fall. The southern states are as badly
shaken up by this new element as any part
of the north is. Some of the Oldest and best
known members of congress, on the demo-
cratic side, are in danger of losing the seats
they have held term after term. In Georgia
the farmers are not only preparing to cap
ture the state government, but they have
candidates already in the field for nomina-
ton for congress in seven out of the ten dis
tricts of the state. Alabama is tho other
southern state where the lines are badly
down. Alabama farmers have laid before
their congressman certain test questions, with
an alternative very well understood. They
will also endeavor to nominate candidate
for governor when the democratic state con-
vention meets, May %, and will have can
didate for senator to succeed Mr.. Pugh, if
there be any prospect of success. The ALI
ance is also moving in Texas.
