In his recent speech before the Farm
ers Alliance, General Butler made the
statement that the farm mortgages Of
the country amount to 1.-THE stupendous
sum of S3,45O, 900, OOO," which exceeds
the public debt at the close of the war
andno one has shown that he exaggera-
ted in the least. The startling fact
ought to set every agriculturist, from
ocean to ocean, thinking. 1t ought to
convince every farmer of ordinary in
telligence that the outrageous policy Of
taxing the many for the benefit of the
few is gradually driving the husband
man to the financial wall.

IF Gov BUcKNRR Of Kentucky had
never done anything worse than surren-
der Fort Donelson to General Grant, the
loyal men Of the country might find it
in their hearts to forgive him. 1t was
the rebels who didn't surrender who
made the most trouble for the nation.
But this matter in recalling the days Of
the rebellion is chiefly one OF politics.
The men who are Mortified at Gov Buck
ner in public office do not hesitate for
moment to indorse the appointment of
the guerilla chief Mosby, and to fellow
ship personally with him. Perhaps the
line might be drawn at such men as
Mosby and Mahone-the latter, how

rebellion was over. But it seems to be

SAYLEs, one of the New York Doodle
alderman Of 1884 has deserted the Ameri-
can colony in Canada and returned to
New York. He has entered bail for his
appearance to answer the charges and
probably has things so fixed that the
charges will not be proved. When he
started out to join his friends in her
majesty's dominion his brother was
obliged to settle to the extent of $25 900
on forfeited bail bond, and Sayles first
effort will be to recover that amount
from the city treasury. He will have
uphill work, however, as it will be
necessary to get a certificate from one Of
the judges or the district attorney, that
his absence from town had no tendency
to weaken the case of the state. No
public official will hazard his reputation
by granting such certificate.

Run Into by a Train.

A special from Bryant, Pa, says
a shocking accident occurred at the Mill
street railroad crossing by which four
persons were killed, one fatally wounded
and one seriously hurt.
The accident was caused by the safety
gates at the crossing being raised Just be-
fore the New York west bound express
was due
4 number OF persons had been waiting
for u freight train TO pass, and as soon us
the gates were raised, started to cross.
John Mcllvain, a teamster, started across
with his wagon, In which were his - years
old son, Neal Mcllvain, Joseph Husscy,
about the same age; Hugh Deycr, store
keeper on Pine street, and John MCGEE
about Is years old.
The express train, which was running
at full speed, struck the wagon, Instantly
killing Neal Mcllyain, Joseph Hussey and
Hugh Dever. John Mcllvain had his
shoulder and leg broken, ribs crushed and
was otherwise internally injured. He
not expected 10 live. The two boys we're
struck with such force that they were
thrown into the canal. Joseph johnson,
who was crossing the track on foot, was
also struck by the engine and instantly
killed, John McGec, who was also in the
wagon, was badly injured. The gate
keeper claims that the clattcr of the freight
train passing drowned the noise OF the
bell 80 that IL could not be heard. He will
probably be arrested
