Truly this is a critical age, and the
critics are various as numerous. These
gentlemen of the quill, as the ancients
said '.They boggle at nothing" They
assume the wisdom Of Solomon, who, we
are told, wrote upon all subjects, from
the hyssop that springeth out Of the wall
to the cedar that groweth in Lebanon. :
Nothing is too difficult for them to weigh,
analyze, and give forth their dictum up
on, and generally the public is enlight-
ened by their useful lab0rS. Yet in the
literary world in which the newspaper
holds an important and honorable place,
the critic himself may be criticised. IN
asmuch as he is member Of our frail
and fallible humanity, he is liable to err,
even though he be supralapsarian in
belief.
Now, in your issue Of July 31st our es-
'teemed friend and critic, Bob" shows
that he has all the freedom and assurance
of his class Hence the cow in her ely
sian cowdom and her enemy, the pres.
byterian Poundmaster, who dooms her
to the neither regions, do not escape his
observant eye and critical pen. More
over, .neighboring parson'' eNpounding
the Word within the walls of the sanctu-
airy, falls under the lash of ''Bobs' criti-
cism.
The cow-poor brute-may be on the
banks of the Styx pleading with old
Charon to row her over to the other side to
pleasanter pastures and be unable to make
her voice needed in the upper world. The
"Presbylerian poundmaster. may not
know the origin of the modern or Puritan
Sabbath, and 50 to prevent further and
worse complication he remains mute. But
the .'neighboring parson" is sound in
mind and limb and sits fearlessly in
trenched by his tones of history and
theology.
Now, my dear friend Bob" | do be-
Heve | have reconnoitred that very
+ 'neighboring parsons position, and |
have heard it said that he is no mean an
tagonist, so l beseech you whether it be a
point of law or doctrine; or even of phys
ical forces, do not dispute or criticise has
tily. In the present instance Bob, :
your criticism was written hastily.
/ | know you are better informed
than your criticism gives you credit
for, and if you had gone to the
text and studied carefully, as the
t.neighboring parson" did, you would
never have written it. Let US give the
parsons. at home and abroad credit for

The following with reference to the
loss of the schooner, the 1.-Two Fannies,
is taken from the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The vessel sank about one o'clock Mon
day morning:
The Two Fannies left Escanaba with
cargo of ore consigned to nj. A. Hanna
& Co., of this city, last Friday. The
strong northwest wind which has been
blowing for two days and half rendered
the passage rough one, almost from the
start, but the vessel struggled through it
safely until she left the Detroit river and
encountered the heavy chop sea which
was running on Lake Erie. At 1890
o'clock Sunday night the lookout in
formed Capt. Alfred Miller that the
schooner had sprung a leak and was MAX
ing water rapidly. The pumps were
Immediately manned, but the water in
the hold rose five feet within three hours
and the vessel began to sink rapidly. Il

ler and hurried out the yawl boat. The
entire crew, including myself, six men
and woman cook, tumbled into the boat
and pushed off. We were not second
too soon, for before we were fairly out CT

went down with rush"

It was valued at SO, 600 by its owners. 1t
is possible that the insurance company

and then the owners may raise it. The
rates of insurance on sailing vessels have

the poor train service maintained on the
K, n. & ID. has been filed with the Board
of Railroad Commissioners. 1t recites
the fact that the railroad at present oc-
cupies nearly two miles of the public
streets of Topeka and that the right of
way thus granted is of great value to
the corporation, and lasting burden
to the citizens who gave it, expecting
that the railroad would benefit the city;
that General John Richie conveyed to
the railroad company ten acres of land
for terminal facilities valued at $50, 900,
under the agreement that the road
would maintain suitable passenger
and freight depot; that afterwards the
line was leased to the Missouri Pacific,
which had operated it for the past two
years; that Shawnee County voted S75,-
600 bonds in aid of the X, n. & D.,
while the city gave it right of way
through the streets free. These grants
entitle the patrons of the road to good
train service and depot facilities and

Disaster at Chicago Sugar Refinery-A
Score of Workmen Killed and Injured.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-Twenty-seven
men were at work in the starch room of
the Chicago Sugar Refinery Company
last evening and General Manager
Arnold Behrs had just entered the room
to give some instructions to them, when
there came a tremendous clap followed
by flashes of fire and the rumble of
falling timbers. Shattered portions of
the building and machinery were hurled
in every direction and the workmen in
an instant found themselves beneath a
mass of debris which soon commenced
to blaze.
Two hundred men are employed in
the main building. and when they heard
the report of the explosion and saw the
glare of the flames they were panic
stricken. Rushing down the long, mar
row stairs headlong and out into the air,
it was some moments before they real
lied the position of their comrades and
began rescue. Cries for help sound
ing above the roar of the fire brought
the main building men to their senses.
With the aid of the fire engine crews
the big refinery was saved and a score
of bruised and bleeding victims were
soon being deposited On improvised
couches in the laboratory of the COM
pany. Outside of this laboratory wives,
mothers and children, who had fought
their way through the smoke and crowds
of spectators, were clamoring for admit
lance, but were kept back by the police.
The explosion resulted in the loss of
at least three lives and the wounding of
sixteen others, several of whom will die

Gathering of Farmers at Topeka-President
Glover Denounces Newspaper Fake.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 26.-The presi-
dents of the County Alliances through
out the State met in Representative Hall
yesterday, sixty counties being repre-
sented. The sessions were secret, but
it is learned that they devoted their
time largely to the discussion of polit-
ical matters.
1t was decided not to urge the calling
of special session of the Legislature
for the enactment of stay law.
A resolution was adopted demanding
that the farmers be represented on the
Board of Railroad Commissioners and
recommending that P. b. Maxon, Of EN-
poria, be appointed Commissioner
Greene's successor.
A resolution was also adopted petit
tioning Congress to admit Mexican lead
ore free of duty.
President b. H. Clover was seen after
the adjournment of the morning session
and questioned in regard to the alleged
letter addressed by the Alliance to the
Kansas delegation in Congress. There
was nothing to it" said he. mo such
letter ever was written or thought of.
1t originated in the Imagination of an
irresponsible newspaper correspondent,
who, considering the important position
he holds under the chief executive of
the State, should have at least some re-
gard for the truth"

The Commission Listens to the Views OF
Mayes and Bushyhead.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The men,
bers of the Cherokee Commission met
yesterday at the Indian Bureau and
heard the statements from the repre-
sentatives of the Cherokee and the
other Indian tribes in the Indian Ter
ritory. Among those who appeared be-
fore the Commission was Chief Mayes
and ex-Chief Bushyhead, of the Chero-
kee Nation. Several propositions were
submitted to the Commission and it
was stated by them if these propositions
could be made the basis of agreement,
the Cherokees would consent to cession
of their lands
Chief Mayes' propositions to the Com
mission are substantially as follows:
First-That the Government shall
fulfill its obligation to evict from the
Cherokee Nation all persons not de-
clared by the Nation itself to be citizens
thereof.
Second-That a joint commission
shall be appointed to determine the
question of citizenship claimed by the
several thousands of freedmen now in
the Territory.
Third-That the Government shall re-
linquish its right to settle friendly In
dams on the Cherokee lands east of the
Goth parallel.
Fourth-That the Government shall
indicate willingness to pay a fair cash
value for the lands known as the Chero-
kee Outlet
Chief Mayes and ex-Chief Bushyhead,
however, disclaim any authority to
speak for their people.

PILED IN A HEAP.
Two Engines and Ten Cars Go to Smash on
the Central Branch.

the Central Branch.
ATCHIsoN, Kan, March 27.-Two Gen.
trail Branch freight trains collided while
running at high rate of speed a mile
west of Centralia Tuesday evening. En-
gineers John Steele and Eugene Clark,
both of this city, together with their
firemen, jumped and were uninjured.
The engines dashed together and ten
freight cars piled up on top of them,
making very bad wreck. Both the
engines are in a very dilapidated con-
dition and must be entirely rebuilt.
Only four of the freight cars were
loaded and they were all the property
of other roads. The collision was due
to the failure of the telegraph operator
at Corning to notify the west bound
train to sidetrack at Centralia for the
east bound train, which was an extra.
There is no truth in the rumor that sew.
eral hundred sheep were killed in the
wreck. The accident was unfortunate
for the road, which is crowded with bust
ness and in need of many more engines
than 1t now possesses.

KANSAS ALLIANCE.
Close Of the Conference-what the Alliance
Men Demand.

Close Of the Conference-What the Alliance
Men Demand
topeka, Kan, March 27.-The COM
ference of county presidents OF the
Farmers Alliance, after two days ses-
sion, adjourned last night Among the
most important demands agreed upon
was that for immediate relief from the
usury law, and strong protest against
alien ownership Of land. A resolution
was passed declaring it to be the sense
of the Alliance that it was not conducive
to the best interests of the people to call
a special session Of the Legislature, in
asmuch as no relief can be had by the
enactment Of a redemption law.
The Alliance declares in favor Of
constitutional convention; relief can be
had only by constitution of the peo-
pie. for the people and by the people Of
the State.
The Kansas Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress are urged to sup
port measure similar 10 the Stanford
bill, which provides for loaning money
to farmers on real estate security in
stead of having to secure the same
through National banks;..that the State
should secure the Government and the
counties should secure the State. It was
also resolved that the Government should
expend the surplus and place it in the
hands of the people where it belongs
One of the objects expected to be &C
complished is the building of a double
track railway from Colorado to some
point east of the Mississippi river, with
view to its final construction to the
Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mex
leo. The cost of constructing this road
should be made the basis on which fares
and freight rates on all other roads
shall be based. The Alliance invites the
cooperation of all other organizations
in carrying out the objects of these reso-
buttons.
The Kansas Congressional delegation
is censured for proposing impracticable
legislation in behalf of the old soldiers
A resolution was adopted requesting
President Clover to appoint member
from each Alliance district to look after
the interests of the farmers.
The State organizer reported 1000 Al
iances in the State, and new ones being
organized so fast that it is almost i'm
possible to keep track of them. There
are over 100000 members in the State
to-day. The business of the State Ex-
change was reported as very satisfactory,
supplies being purchased for all the sub
alliances in the State.
