ACCIDENT AT THE SHOPS.
A Blast-Pipe Explodes, But without
Iniuring ANY Person.

Injuring Any Person.
The report of an explosion, coming
from beyond China Slough, created
considerable excitement down town
yesterday shortly after II o'clock,
and crowds ran toward the rail-
road shops. There it was found
that blast-pipe had exploded in the
boiler shop and scattered things about
considerably.
The blast is thought to have been left
open at one of the forges, and that gas
from fresh coal got into the pipe and was
suddenly ignited, causing the explosion.
About thirty feet of pipe was wrecked,
and the forges were shaken up consider
ably. Nobody was hurt, but if the ex-
plosion had occurred when the men were
at work, it is thought several would have
been badly injured, if not killed.

THE representative of the Houston
Post at Austin does not believe that
the alien land law was a piece of i'm.
pertinent and mischievous legislation
to be repealed on demand. Com
menting on the attempt to secure
concerted action against the law and
work it's repeal, the Post representa-
tive says:
1.-THE Statesman's call for an anti
alien land law convention has precIp-
ltsted vigorous discussion, and it is
noticed that many who could not
borrow a dollar of foreign capital on
real estate, if all the money in Europe
were placed in Austin for loan on
mortgage, are loudest and widest in
their denunciations of the law and
those who made it. The whole furorhas
an apt simile in Samanca's fight with
the mill Tbare is nothing in 1t but
wind and froth and unconsidered
frenza. The legislature will stand by
it's action and the people will stand by
the legislature, though the bill may
be modified"
That covers the ground-modifica-
ton to protect the investor, not re-
peal, to imperil the tenant and expose
the holder OF such lands to all the
evils, known and unknown, of alien
lapdlordism.

THE st. Louis Globe democrat is
evidently of opinion that holding
back wheat for advanced prices may
not be an unmixed good, and may
prove, in the end, so disastrous as to
defeat its own object. That journal
says:

$50, 200, 900 bushels of wheat from this
years. yield is predicted. The
chances are that there will be q de-
mand for nearly all of this I'M
less speculation or the hold
ing beck of the crop adj

will be compelled to cut down its
purchases of this grain and turn to

THE Kansas City Star is one of the
most:conservativ journals along the
line of the Big Muddy. 1t is not read
lily carried away by the sentimental
ties of any question, and inclines to
form its opinions on the merits of
submitted propositions rather than
from the influences of popular feeling.
The Star does not consider the alien
land law of Kansas by any means as
an evil to be deplored. 1t thinks that
the law should have been 80 framed
as to protect investment while pre-.
venting ultimate ownership. This is
precisely the view taken by the
LIGHT. The Star, in defence of its
views says:
THE time Is coming of course, and
that very speedily, when it will be a
| serious hindrance to the pros
perity of Kansas to have large tracts
| of productive lands lying idle in the
hands of alien spectators. The
effort which the Legislature
made to correct that abuse
! was entirely proper, and 1t was fit.
| ting that it should be accomplished
by a body of law makers in which the
farmers were so largely represented
The spirit of the allen
land law is all right, but it ought GO
be made little more elastic, 1t ought
to restrict and not prohibit"
