The careful and conservative spirit which
characterizes so much of the work done in
England is shown in connection with the
recent splendid piece of work, the City and
South London railway. While many of
the details of the line are carried out with
the perfection of modern electrical skill
there are some points in connection with it
which are so much behind modern prog
ress as to appear in a measure inconsistent
with the enterprise which characteriZes
the rest of the work. 1t appears that the
elevators leading TO the underground sta
tions are operated by hydraulic power
There is a good deal of dissatisfaction that
electricity has not been used for this pur-
pose Nothing could be better adap;e ed for
working lifts than motors, and the saving
in expense would have been considerable.
Unless the elevators are balanced there
is plunger volume OF high pressure water
wasted every time each hoist is used
whereas if the motors were employed the
generator would need supply little more
than the power wasted in general friction.
Another fact which has been freely criti-
cised is the use of an air brake where cleo
trio power is available. 1t has been urged
that the block system arrangements and
the cut off of the supply from a moving
train in case OF necessity, are objections to
its use.
II these are obstacles they can be easily
overcome, and the special leads which sup
ply the carriage lamps could supply the
motive power for the brakes 1t is argued
that this comb nation in the same plant OF
hydraulic distribution. compressed air and
electric traction is n somewhat anomalous

JONES STILL BoRTHRR's 'EM.

Notwithstanding the announced with
drawal of Governor Hills lieutenant
from the race. as an Independent can
didate for governor of New York, there
is as much anxiety in New York to
know what Jones of Binghampton will
do with his political freight as there
was in 1879 when John Kelly few the
track and ran for governor, defeating
the regular Democratic candidate.
There are II, 900 election districts in the
Empire state and one vote lost in each
district might cost the Democrats the
state. The detection of Voorhis clique
in New York City on account of their
cool treatment at Saratoga, of the
Chaplin cohorts in Brooklyn and of the
aRti-ring Democrats of Buffalo, whose
home organ insists that Sheehan shall be
may be smoothed over by
but it may not be SO easy to
deal with the man who marched his
regiment triumphantly through the
Bloody Tubs" and "Plug Uglies" of
Baltimore in the early days of 1861, and
kept the flag flying until the other flag
was hauled down.

whose wants make it possible for them
to sell at any price. Was there ever
such trust conceived or dreamed of be-
fore? Was there ever such supreme
selfishness made manifest or shown by
any class or clan since the dawn of
| history l am farmer and know what
| am talking about. l was born on a
farm, reared on a farm, worked on a
farm over forty years, but want none
of this rot in mine. Nor is this all this
third party has conceived; having turned
themselves adrift and cutting themselves
loose from all past theories of the
science of political economy, or
the tried lines of statecraft and
well established principles of finance
IN their wild and unreasonable demands
ask as did the Elk county Alliance con
vention (the other day. that the presiden
of the United States be asked to imme-
diately assemble congress for the purpose
OF passing law, whereby the treasurer
is authorized to issue fat money enough
and loan 10 this privileged class in
amounts sufficient for them to pay their
mortgage Indebtedness, at 3 per cent,
which would be about ten billion dollars
and take mortgage on their farms for
security on long time.
OF course it would be optional with
the borrower when it became due to
pay it or allow the government to fore
close and sell it, and if this third party
was In power at that time, it would be
in keeping with its policy and demands
now, to see to it that no one but the
owner and the government bid on it and
of course the owner would prefer that
Uncle Sam should take it in, which
would then give him the first chance to
homestead, as he is living on it, costing
S14 and no taxes to pay for five years,
and at the expiration of which, by max
ing his proofs he could get his deed.
Now his farm is clear and he has beat
the government out Of probably $4,000
at least. Great scheme. But | believe
the more conservative, reasonable and
better class of farmers will see the folly
of such visionary schemes, knowing
from the past history of this country and
others also, that the great initiation of
currency only demoralizes legitimate
trade and embarrasses the financial con-
ditions of our country, and that a cur
rency based on anything but gold and
silver basis would place US as a nation
outside of the pale of all the civilized
world, and the supposed riches we would
heap up would simply like 'Sodom's
apples" turn to ashes on our lips.

HOME RULE.

Governor Brown of Kentucky has
started in, at the beginning of his admin
istration, with a new system for the sup
preston of outlawry and the mainten'
ance of the peace of the commonwealth
that can not fail to revolutionize the
management of civil affairs in that state
and at the same time set an example to
other states well worth imitation. Gov
ernor Brown rsfuses to call to the aid OF
ignorant or cowardly sheriffs the local
troops to quell breaches of the peace. He
regards the military arm as only to be
used when the civil power has been ex-
hausted, and then only as a temporary
adjunct. He is the first executive agent
since our late war to inform a sheriff
that whole county can be summoned
as posse to assist in maintaining the
laws of the commonwealth.
A vendetta broke out which alarmed
the sheriff. An arrest of three of the
parties caused forcible release, an as
sassination and the assembling of aven-
gers. Fourteen men in all, about equal
ly divided between the families, were
magnified into formidable force of in
surrectionists and troops were called for
by the sheriff and promptly refused by
the governor. No man should be sworn
into responsible official position who is
unfamiliar with the constitution of his
own state and that of the United States
ona ,arar ,,nJar
stand the institutions of our confedera-
ton which tolerate no unnecessary or
trivial resort to arms. Nothing short of
genuine insurrection which threatens the
stability of the laws of a state can excuse
the presence of troops in any county
thereof to assist the local authorities in
preserving the peace. The contrary
practice is an offshoot of the great battle
of the sections, and twenty-six years of
peaceful governmental life should rele-
gate soldiers to the rear, subject only to
the call of discreet governors. There
are, be it regretfully said, some COVER
nors who have not yet learned the sub
ordination of the military to the civil SER
Nl(Cs OuCn l1Su dI6 uL1Ab lOI IllS1I
Another evil has grown up which is the
result of looking for military aid in
feuds. 1t is the presence
of armed detectives. A short time ago
a gang Of sixty-two hired ruffians were
parading the streets of a West Virginia
town ready to shoot down a striking |
body of miners. These fellows were |
from Cincinnati private detective force
and were literally armed invaders who
ought to have been kicked back into
Ohio. They even patrolled in the public
woods leading to the mines. The first
governor who treats as invaders the
armed minions of a chief of detective |
bureau who come without legal au-
thority into his state, will achieve a
name of which he will thereafter be
proud. Let the experiment be made as
soon as possible by some plucky defender
Of the rights of the state.

Daniel BoyntOu, register of deeds for
Butler county, states during the eight
months ending Sept. 1, there was $685.
9l2 of mortgages filed and S300. .6lO re-
leased, a net reduction of farm indebt-
edneSs Of S66,69S. During the month of
September the mortgages filed amounted
10 S99. 4S6 and the releases to S34. $50. a
net reduction of $3.50 for the month. a
total reduction for nine months of So. =
934 on farm mortgages. In addition 10
this there was a net reduction on CITY
and town indebtendeSs Of SEQ, ,054 for the
same length of time. Taking Butler
county as a fair sample, the figures
given show a reduction of mortgage in
debtedness IN the state during the nine
months to be SIC, 0,000, 600, or at the rate
Of about 10 per cent Of the entire in
lebtedneSs of that character in the state.
This, besides paying interest as it &C
crues, is certainly splendid showing, in
Of the general situation of the country
the past two or three years.

THE GROWING CITY OF BURNETT

BURNETT, o. T., Sept 8, 1891.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The great tidal wave of settlement has
swept over Pottowatomie county, swept
like a wave over the bills and valleys,
forest and plain, and Burnett has taken
its position as the trade center of Potto-
watomie county. Our city presents an
appearance of activity that is an aston
ishment to the old residents of Pottowa-
tonne county who were accustomed only
to the solitude of the forest and the
peaceful murmur of the Little river, and
to them the hustle and noise of a grow
ing town, and the smoke of hundreds of
settlers camp fires in this magicly peo-
pied country, come like rude awaken
ing from a life time dream.
The city of Burnett is further ad-
vanced today than any other town in the
new country. This is due to the adj
vantage derived from Mr.. Greiffenstein's
ability to locate settlers here two months
in advance of the formal opening of the
territory and this advantage is
one that is plainly apparent
now in many ways, while
other places have hardly settled their
differences regarding town lots yet. Ev-
cry citizen of Bennett is secure il the
possession of his property, with no con-
test on his hands. While other places
have hardly abandoned the nomadic
tent, Bennett has a mammoth brick
yard in operation and contracts being
let for brick houses. While water is
being sold for cents a glass in other
towns, Bennett was supplied with an
abundance of the finest wells ia the ter
ritory, and many other like advantages
that impress the stranger most favor
ably. Here are nonesof the discomforts
of a new country, with all the advan-
tages of new one. All kinds of busi-
ness are represented and applications for
town lots and letters of inquiry for
locations are pouring in every day. One
colony alone of forty members will ar
rive next week. The postoffice is
smoothly and the great influx
of new mail is being handled with dis
patch. The postmaster general has |
the mail service until there is |
none of the new towns AS we'll provided |
for in this respect as Burnett. Pros
pectors or settlers in any part of Pot |
.owatomie county can reach any part of |
Pottowatomie county quicker and easier
Dy leaving the train at Noble or Nor |
man and travelling via Burnett than by |
any other route. A glance at the map |
Of the territory will show that this /
-oute is twelve miles shorter than any
)ther route, besides the advantage of |
yoing over the old Purcell and Shawnee
own trail, which is the best road in the
erritOry and covers the entire Potto-
reservation. The Intending
ettler or business man can make no
mistake by visiting Burnett before To-
