Kansas City is in terrible labor to bring
forth three names for the fleet of the
Missouri river armada. We suggest for
one, "Vest," in remembrance of the
astringent senator, and for the other
'Pants," for the Missouri River Navigat-
ing company, and, in the prevalence of
crow, the junior senator of Missouri
should not be forgotten.

IS THE WORLD GROWING WORSE

There are those who hold to the theory
that the world is growing worse, and
the criminal calendar for 1889, as pub
lished day after day. would seem to SUBJ
stantiate that notion. The defalcations
of bank cashiers for amounts large
enough to attract general attention foot
up about five millions. Three state
treasurers defaulted, and twenty-seven
county treasurers, to say nothing of other
thefts, assassinations, murders, arsons,
and an almost innumerable list of other
criminalities. But all this is but an
exparte statement. While the criminal
calendar is given to the public in an
swer to what seems, to the newsgather-
ers, to be popular demand, little or no
attention is paid to incidents or occur
rences of a reverse character. The
world is not growing worse, else the
work of reformation begun through ''the
voice of one crying in the wilderness"
nearly nineteen hundred years ago, and
that has spread throughout the inhabited
and civilized world must be written
down failure. The millennium doesn't
appear to be in sight yet, but we are
certainly not getting further from it.

house tonight q complimentary dinner
was given w. j. Hynes, the well known

other friends of Mr.. Hynes, over 100
m all.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Hynes

land and said he had met no man with
national sentiments i'm Ireland who had
not implicit faith in Parnell and
confidence in the ultimate success Of
his movement 20 secure home rule
Mr.. Hyncs said that up to the advent Of
Parnelfs movement he had believed in
the efficacy only of an organized force
honorably employed for the attainments
of lreland's autonomy, but since the
Inauguration OF Parnelrs policy he had
given 1t his undivided support. No one.
he said, who had made a personal visit la
Ireland and seen the condition Of the peo-
Pile could regard an absent landlord as
anything but a bird Of prey.
Speaking Of the failure of the potato
crop he said that from personal obserya-
tion he knew there was no exaggcration
in the report, and that absolute starvation
usually followed the failure of this crop.
In conclusion, Mr., Hyncs spoke Of the
uniform courtesy and consideration with
which he had been received by members
of parliament and those prominent ia the
Irish canse.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Even sickness
may fail in the closing hours Of session
of congress. Carter got black eye to-
day for the first time since his friend
Reed took him up TO make a politician of
him. He had been waiting for a chance
to get through the bill to change the
boundary of the Yellowstone park
and to grant right of way
TO the Crook City railroad. Every
thing was done by unanimous
consent. He let Mississippi member
call up this bill. Judge Holman and other
objectors had been "kissedn Off, and Car
ter seemed to be having the thing his own
way, although there were members OPP
posed to it, when Gambler of Massachu-
sets objected to the bill and il had 10 be
laid aside, much TO the disgust of the men
who have been watching this veteran of a
dozen winters ON its way through con-
gress.
The senate sent TO the house the bill to
open the Fort Ellis reservation with an
amendment postponing the opening until
year from the date of its passage. When
the bill was laid before the house to-day
there was a motion for non-concurrence
and a conference committee consisting of
Kinsey, Lanham and Carter was ao-
pointed TO settle the matters of differ
ence.
The conference report on the deficiency
bill agreed TO in both houses this morn
ing, retains the $4,000 amendment pro-
viding for sinking experimental artesian
wells on the slopes Of the Rocky noun
tains.
"Russ" Harrison is known to have a
new candidate for the Helena postoiIice,
but he has not yet revealed his name to

LONDON, Sept. 29.-Slavin and McAu-
life, having been informed that the ar-
thorities intended to prosecute them for
fighting, surrendered TO the police this
morning and were arraigned in the Lam
beth police court on the charge OF COM
mitting a breach of the peace.
The prisoners were remanded until Fri
day. Each was required TO furnish per-
sonal surety in fl,0OO and two bondsmen
who could each qualify in the sum of
f2000.
The police inspector told the court that
though the men wore gloves which ap.
peared to be ordinary boxing gloves. he
noticed the seconds worked the padding
from the backs down 10 the points OF the
fingers while putting them on their prin.
cipals. The gloves were thus rendered
useless as a means Of protection against
iniiicting injury. The contest was not a
scientific boxing match, shut fierce and
furious fight.

Cockrell objected.
Sherman addressed the senate on the
general principles Of protection.
Paddock addressed the senate. He said
he must vote against the conference re-
port. He could not consider this great
economic problem as entirely political in
its nature, affecting as IL did interests
most vital 10 his immediate constituency
and the entire west. He would not at
tempt 10 state in detail his objections to
the report, but would draw particular at
tenton 10 the action of the committee on
the sugar schedule and its relation 10
other protected interests in the bill. He
criticized the treatment given the beet
sugar interest and said il was not pleas
ant 10 contemplate, nor did il par
ticularly incline senator from
state where a strong and
most promising commencement had
been made in the Developments of such
an industry TO vote for the report. He
sincerely hoped the report would not be
adopted and new conference ordered.
The conference report was laid aside in
formally without action.
Hoar reported resolution which was
adopted, declaring the senators from
North and South Dakota. Montana and
Wyoming entitled 10 compensation from
the date of admission Of those states.

Degree.


WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 29.-The judge
IN his charge To the jury reviewed the
many points in the Burchell case at
length. He pointed out the difference be-
tween direct and circumstantial evidence,
showing that the latter, when conclusive,
was far more reliable. lie reverted 10 the
letters written by the prisoner To Ben
wells father. What was the object OF
these lcttersr All was deception and the
prisoner must have known that Benwell
would never write such letter 10 his
father. The condition OF the clothing on
the-body when found, lisproyed the
theory that the murder was for plumber.
Every mark on the clothing was removed,
and had il no, been for finding the cigar
holder Benwelrs death would have
always remained mystery. The jury re-
tired AT 9:30 and returned at II 10 with a
verdict OF guilty Of murder in the first
degree.
When asked IL he had anything TO say
why sentence should not be passed upon
him, Birchell replied simply: 81 am not
guilty of murder" The Judge then said
II fully concur with the verdict Of the
jury" and sentenced Birchell 10 he
hanged on the lith OF November.

bill was presented. AS the bill passed the
house il appropriates s., 230, ,535, the senate
bill increasing the amount s., ,di, ,955. The
bill has been so reduced in conference
that the aggregate appropriations now
amount TO S6,666,25S. The item which oc-
cupied the conference for long time was
$4,000 for explorations and investigation
of artesan wells and irrigation. This
amendment had at last been agreed TO by
the house conferees, with the provision
that the work should be completed by
July /, 1891. The report was agreed TO.
The conference report on the tariir bill
was presented and read at length.
Aldrich said that the conference report
and the bill as modified by il were printed,
and he did not deem any further explana-
ton of its provisions necessary. He hoped
the senate would be able 10 reach vote
on the report at an early hour this after
noon. He has no knowledge of the inten-
ton OF the senator's on the other side of
the chamber in regard To debate, but was
aware OF the fact OF the anxiety of the
senators on both sides 10 arrive at an
early conclusion of business Of the ses-
sion, and with that object in view he
should ask for vote as soon as il could
possibly be had.
Morgan having referred TO Shermhn's
recent letters to Erastus Wimhn, Sher-
man said the statements contained there
in were consistent with the position he
had always held-that il was by mutual
legislation, and not by treaties, that re-
ciprocity measures could be carried out
Az the close of Morgan's speech Aldrich
called for vote on the conference re-
port.
This was opposed by Cockrell.
Aldrich asked unanimous consent that

the Tribune this morning points out the
fact that the Santa Fe already has an in
is sufficient for all its purposes and which
would be injured by projecting another
line. The article proceeds: The new
move made by the Santa fe must
therefore have entirely different
objects in view than those heretofore
advanced. II will be found after the
smoke has cleared away that the real pur-
chasers of the Colorado Midland is not
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
but the so-called bankers tri-
angle of New York, Kidder, Peabody x

leading financial manager of the firm of
Kedder, Peabody q Co. Magoun is also
chairman of the board of directors of the

its affairs. The real purpose of the Colo

nothing more nor less than another at

TO bring about grand consolidation of all

words, the formation Of gigantic railway
trust comprising all roads between Chi.
