RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

Coal Miners.
The days business of yesterday was equal to
the previous day, the bulk of it being trans
acted on the Southern boat landings. One foot
and nine inches was added to the river by rain
at the headwaters, putting it up to 1913 feet. All
the available coal has been shipped and the
harbor is clear of coal barges. Another ship
ment will be made in about two weeks. The
shippers will not likely have enough coal to
send out, as miners are very scare and work
for an additional 1,009 men can be had in the
Second and Fifth pools.
Packet boats experienced heavy fogs, which
delayed the arrival of some.
Flags were displayed at haltmast in honor of
Engineer William McClinton, of the lower river
boat H. NJ Hoxie. who died Tuesday near St.
Louis. He was well known here having run
the Tom Dodsworth for a number of years, and
worked on several other of the boats. Mr.. Nc
Clinton was about 48 years of age and was
highly respected by his fellow rivermen. He
has brother. John McClintoD, engineer on the
Dick Fulton. His remains will probably be
sent here for burial, his home is in this city.

bour, who took in the soldiers reunion at Rock
Point. Mr.. Bailey succeeded in arousing con-
siderable in interest. and made several sales ag
gregating 80 shares. besides some Electric scrip
and So 500 Pittsburg water bonds.
The close, as compared with that of the pre-
vious day showed small gains in Central Trac-
tion and Switch and Signal, and corresponding
losses In Electric and Luster. There was little
change in the rest Of the list The undertone,
however, was weak.
There was an improvement in the demand
for railroad shares. due to heavy business, and
consequently increased earnings. The failure
of holders to respond to bids shows they expect
better prices

THE democrats still have conf
dence in the opposition to defeat
any national election law scheme
the republicans may get up. OF
course to do this help must be had
from republican quarters. That it
will be forthcoming there seems to
be no doubt. Men of Judgment in
the republican party look upon the
plan dictated by Reed as two edged,
like to cut into republican ranks as
well rs democrats. They say,
speaking Of its political effects from
theirstandpoint, that it would prove
an instrument OF powerful good
under exceptional circumstances
but how potent for evil should those
circumstances be reversed, which
means that all would be we'll with
the republicans holding the sword /,
but should The democrats get pos
session Of the weapon But there
is yet another strong reason why the
scheme is likely TO fail. Blaine is
against il. The most prominent
factor in the party Of centralization
and by nature Of an aggressive tenn
perament, the Maine man has al
ways recognized The futility of
governmental control in local cleo
tions, and opposed it. lie was the
power that smothercd The force bill
as Randall was simply an instru-
mentality in that victory. Had
Blaine, as Speaker ruled in that
legislative controversy, which Reed
would have done with two-thirds
majority at his back, the south
would have been the prey Of militia
ry maruders and the north would
have taken part in tho sacrifice Of
free government. Blaine to-day is
as much opposed to a national cleo
ton law es he was way back in the
1O's to a scheme Of military usur-
patton, and he is just as potential
to-day as its enemy as he was more
than a decade ago, when he con
fronted and subdued a turbulent
following bent upon its own politi-
cal destruction.

candidates for Office in this county.
In the mean time what sn mglori-
Gus scramble they are having of il.
1t is every fellow for himself and

The general sentiment seems to be
"Dovil take the hindmost." II was
probably very wise in the executive
committee to have this contest come
of before dog days set in, and most
of the candidates will have time to
recover from their defeat ere this
evil season begins, else there would
probably be several cases of rabies

4 Little story From Real Life That
Cnrries q Moral.

When you got married to the
brightest and best girl in the coun-
try, where did you look for the no
tice that meant so much to YOU and
so little to nearly everybody else !?
To your Home Paper.
When your home was invaded by
the blue-eyed girl or the bouncing
baby boy. to whom did you make it
your business TO convey early infor-
mutton as to Che sex, the time and
weight? The editor Of the Home
Paper.
In after years, when sopc manly
young man takes the bIue-eyed girl
to a home Of his own, or your boun-
cling boy-now a mans gwen n
partnership in the store because he
has brought homo somebody olse's
daughter and set up an establish
ment Of his own, to whom do You
personally exhibit the wedding pres
ents and load up with the brides
cake, and TO whom do you look for
that complete description of the
interesting event, down TO the last
pickle fork and individual salt, which
once more, means so much to You
and a very few others, and so little
TO anybody else? To this same ed
itor Of that samo Home Paper.
And when trouble comes in the
home, and you add 10 your possess
sions that desolate bit Of reality, the
lot in the cemetery, and somehow
the sun doesn't seem to shine just
as it used to, and there's futter
Of Grape at the door, and the odor
Of the tube rose in the front parlor.

grown to be a part Of yours, md
whose sympathy and good deeds &c

nounced.

HEAR THIS EAGLE" SCREAM.
A Western Bird Has Some Fun With
Mckinley's Bill.

- hhAAs
The Wichita EGgle, edited by
March NJ. Murdoch, the leading ro-
publican paper in Southwest Kan
sas, has this to say in double-leaded
editorial
The Mckinley bill is an outrage,
Gus performance. Itis but a oheap
money show in the face of high
heaven and of the American people.
1t is an attempt to makean angel
OF the devil without abbroviating his
tall or saving off his horns. 1t takes
dollars from the farmers and returns
them dimes. 1t does not impose n
single duty which will help Kan
sas farmer.
What do we caro- about duty on
eggs and hay? This suggestion
ought to render the average Kansas
rooster impotent and start the hens
of every bornyard west of the Mis-
sissippi to growing.
The Lord preserve us But what
with the Mckinley bill, the supine-
ness of the Reed Cannon led crowd
in the lower House of Congress and
hypocmtical prohibition, il the re-
publican party in Kansas does not
hear something drop next November
then twenty-scYen years in the edi-
torial service has only fitted us for
an insane asylum.
The additional duty on wool Is
but water Cruel of the weakest sort
for the Kansas farmer, upon whose
hearts blood the goldite of Wall
street and tho combinite of New
England and of the East fatten to
fuli-eyed paucity.
AS the stars in their course fought
against Siseria, so the civilization Of
the closing hours of the nineteenth
century fight against the bound
tariff burdens with which the West
is being saddled by the in corpora
ted bloats of Eastern manufacturing
and Atlantic money centres. Sad
died, to, by the men, by the polit-
ical parties which the people them
selves sustain and keep in power.
This is the position which the
people Of Kansas will hold and
MAINTAIN, in spite Of the 80, 900
machine majority that was rolled up
by the State u few months since for
Ben Harrison and Protection.
