Kansas City Gazette: With Mexican ore
excluded. and the silver coinage bill re-
qulring the purchase of 81 .00Q 600 ounces
of silver per year, and an annual pro-
duct OF only $4,000, 600 ounces, the Colo

farmers had some artificial means of
making people buy few million bushels
Of corn more than are produced. they
too could live in palaces. The product
of silver Of the United States and
Mexico Just about equal the amount re-
quired for coinage and by the arts and
industries. We want the silver ore of
Mexico, and we want the Mexicans 70

Immigration into this country Is on
the increase again. and it is agreeable to
note that the great bulk of the increase
comes from the south and east Of Europe
rather than from the north and west. 4
few wears ago virtually all the Europe
ans who came to this country to settle
were from the British islands, Germany.
Austria and the Scandinavian countries.
Within the past half dozen years, how
ever, Russia. Poland. Bohemia, Hungary
and Italy have been furnishing Us with
great and rapidly increasing proper
ton of our immigrants. II Is from the
latter section that the larger part Of the
undesirable element of our new popula-
ton comes.

As evidence Of the great increase in the
business of that town during the past
year the st. Joe Gazette states that the
volume of mail matter handled there has
increased 33 percent in aggregate weight
over what it was a year ago. If the
wholesalers Of original package goods
over there move over to the opposite
side Of theriver. as many OF them say
they will, there viii be a shrinkage of
the volume of mail handled in a short

Undiminished Popularity.

From the Chicago News.
The Westinghouse Electric Light com
panv appears to be almost as great a
power in this country as the fluid which
It's machines generate. Within the pres
ent week it has induced the United States
court to interfere with the execution of
kemmler, the murderer. and now it has
persuaded the New York house of repre-
sentatives to pass bill abolishing capital
punishment. Its sole purpose is to pre-
ing of criminals lest the machines be-
come an object of dread and adherence
TO the public. This is a rather curious
objection. Ropes have been used in
hanging murderers for some centuries,
vet the popularity of clothes lines has
never suffered in the least.

The burning of the insane asylum at
Kong Point, Quebec, Tuesday, was one of
the most horrible and heartrending ever
chronicled. The details given in the dis

neither TO mitigate the awfulness of the

simply to deplore it and wish that It's

This mortgage census taking business
Is going to do Kansas vast harm. A
greater number Of mortgages were pIas-
tered on Kansas the past three years than
in all her history before, but they are be
ing cancelled now faster than they were

shows up, and our guess would be before
even they are put in type, Kansas will

Steamboatmen and river men predict
that the present season will witness low
water in the Missouri river. The water
has been falling at rapid rate for sew
eral days past, and the st. Joe Gazette
says great trouble is experienced by the
steamboatmen in consequence. The
smartness of the Kansas City folks in
having their three freight boats for that
stream constructed on the ''dinkev" plan.
so that but little water will be required
for them, is shown by the stated cOndi-
ton, present and prospective, of the
Big Muddy. With a we'll contracted

The injunction ''thou shalt not steal

ments as absolutely necessary for the
maintenance Of society: and hence the

The weather phenomena predicted by
Ira Hicks for the past week occurred to a
dot. The storms that he said would pre-
vail were not SO numerous and wide
spread rs many anticipated, but there
were storms in the northwest and south,
and we apprehend they We're regarded
quite severe enough by the denizens of
the sections visited by them. The next
atmospheric disturbance figured out by
Prot. Hicks is set down in his chart to
center between the 18th and 14th Of the
present month. He don't say in just
what shape it will come, but it NAV be
wei to keep a look out for it: the pro-
fessor has hit it every time so far this
