The Topeka Young Mems Christian
association will from now on devote
all of its energies to saving the boys
and young men of Topeka, instead of
sending missionaries to Africa, China,
and the heather in other countries. 1t
is high time. Not only the Y. NJ. G.
A. but all churches would be doing
more good if they would give less at
tention to the semi-nude cannibals on
the Congo and more to the people of
their own communities. There is
enough sin and suffering right here in
Dickinson county to keep the churches
busy; why should money be sent 10 the
antipodes to convert some semi-barbar-
ians who can neither understand mol
appreciate the religion they might
profess?

Our Interests Mutual

The Minneapolis Messenger makes z
good point when it says: What folly il
was to preach doctrine of hatred
against the aristocrat or plutocrat- OF
whatever they choose to call them-in
a state like Kansas? Where are the
wealthy men of Kansas? Where are
the nabobs? Where are the rich that
grind the poor? Why, We are all prae-
tically alike in Kansas. Nearly every
man who lives in Kansas today came
here actually poor, or with but a
modest competence. Every man of
them has had his fight for existence,
and some have prospered while others
have not. The man who lives in town
has been no more exempt from toll
than the man who lives in the country.
and as a rule his existence has been far
more precarious.
Besides, a great majority of our
town people actually came from the
farm, and all Of them have relatives
who are farmers. 1t was preposterous
to assert that there was antagonism
between them. Their interests are
mutual. Hereafter, as in the past, we
shall alike labor for the prosperity of
our country-Kansas in particular
and while working for ourselves and
our OVID, never forget that Others are
engaged with US in the battle of life
with just as many reasons for being

Chili's Extent.

Just as some of Uncle Sans warlike
nepheWs began to think of having big
war with Chill along comes this COM
parisOn to make them ashamed OF
themselves: Chill is a narrow little
strip of rock ribbed and generally
uninhabitable land of less than 300, 900
square miles area. The United States
has an area of over million square
miles. Chilli has population of less
than million; the United States a
population of over 81 millions. Chili's
material resources will not begin to
compare with those of the single state
of Massachusetts. Now exhausted by
the civil war, Chill has an army of
about 5000 men and $4,000 reserve
militiamen; the United States has an
army of $4,000 men and all available
force besides of million men. Weak
as is the navy of the United States, it
is about six times stronger than the
CHILEAN navy. There is not much
material in these comparisons to feed
a war fever on in the United States,
or to fan excitement In the breast of
any but bully.

AFFAIRS LOOK BAD.

| AFFAAhS LOOh BAD
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Tele-
graph publishes Rio Janeiro dispatch,
which is regarded as trustworthy, say
| ing the governor and provincial assem-
bly, oppose the coup d'etat of President
| Fonseca.
Even the most alarming reports from
Brazil are confirmed by dispatch re-
ceived by leading financial house hav-
ing large interests in Brazil. This
message, so far as untangled from the
cipher complications in which it has
been wrapped, says, in substance:
affairs look bad; upheaval prob
able; result uncertain; several prov
inces revolving; troops joining opposi-
ton; Fonseca can't count on navy;
health bad; fighting going on some
where; Fonseca's men defeated; ex-
change dropping; garrison Rio I'M
easy; finance blue, paper money under
cloud; prices of everything rising; pres
ence strong (British) fleet good effect;
opposition gaining every hour; much
bloodshed possible"
From the above synopsis of the situa-
ton it will be seen that the worst is to
be feared. Other and similar messages,
some of them giving more details and
still being of more decidedly sensa-
tional character, have been received in
London during the last few hours. OF
course the fact is not lost sight Of that

Rio Janeiro, and some forty miles
northwest of Santos. Sac Paulo is one
of the oldest cities in Brazil, and is
the place where the provincial assem-
bly, holds its meetings. 1t is expected
that Fonseca is either contemplating
making Sac Paulo the base of his oper-
ations against the rebels or that he
/ prefers to make Santos, an excellent
seaport, his maritime headquarters and
| Sac Paulo, with which it is connected
by rail, his army headquarters. Of
course the slim wording of the cable
message received leaves much unex-
planned which should otherwise be
made clear. The fact remains, how
ever, that Fonseca is expected at Sac
Paulo, and that important develop
ments are expected
Another dispatch says that the prov
ince of Minas Geraes and Los CatiIinos
are supporting the movement in oppo-
sition to Fonseca. Minas Geraes is
north of SAP Paulo, and the latter
province between Minas Geraes and
the province of Rio Grande do Sui, so
it is imagined that Fonseca's move to
Il
prevent a junction of the forces of
Minas Geraes and Rio Grande do Sui
with the possibility of the insurgents
marching upon Rio Janeiro after the
junction had been formed
If it is true, and there seems to be
no reason to doubt it, that the province
OF Minas Geraes has Joined in the
movement against the despotism of
Fonseca, 1t means that population of
considerably over 1000, 900 people, a
very rich province, having vast prairies
covered with cattle, important iron
works, and, in word, one of the rich
est and most populous provinces in
Brazil, has declared itself opposed to
the methods employed by the dictator,
and that it has determined, by force of
arms If necessary, to defend its iber-
ties, and to leave no stone unturned to
bring about the deposition of Fonseca
from power.
Uruguay and Paraguay, it may be
added, are collecting their troops to-
gether in order to be in readiness for
anything which may happen.
The chiefs of the movements against
Da Fonseca are Gen. Aztropillo, Gen.
Gravares, Baron Hulk and Visconde
Pelotas, who are rapidly organizing a
government for the national party, as
the opposition is termed, and they are
also trying to build up an army, and. if
possible, navy. Indeed, to put the
matter in a nutshell, the situation of
affairs in Brazil may be said to be al
most identical with the situation of af-
fairs in Chilli at the commencement of
the present year.

TIE WINDLASS FELL.
One Man Fatally Hurt and n
Companion Slightly.

Two laborers were engaged In tearing up
the old turn-table of the Clay-street cable
line at the intersection OF Clay ana Powell
streets Yesterday afternoon. A large wind
lass had been erected above the pit for the
purpose Of lifting out pieces of the turn
table. While they were at work in the pit
the windlass suddenly broke loose from its
fastenings and crashed down upon them.
Both men we're struck on the head by the
falling timbers and knocked down, and when
they were carried out from the pit one was
unconscious. The Injured were placed in
patrol wagon and removed to the Receiving
Hospital, where one of them recovered suf-
fieiently 10 give his name as Thomas CahIll,
that he lived at 81 Larkin street and had a
large family.
An examination of his injuries showed
that he had received deep cut ON the fore
head and numerous bruises about the arms
and body. He was soon able to 60 to his
home. His companion remained in an I'M
conscious condition, but as his only injuries
appeared to consist of several cuts on the
head, the Police Surgeon thought he was
not seriously injured. He frothed at the
mouth and the surgeons said he was suffer-
ing more from drunkenness than anything
else.
They changed their minds one hour later,
however, when the unfortunate died. 1t
was then supposed that he had died from
conclusion OF the brain. The victims name
was not known and his body was sent to

denied that either he " his companion had

WHAT MAY BE DONE.

A rumor is in circulation that parties who
consider themselves as likely to attract the
attention Of the Grand Jury will endeayOr
10 substitute some other Judge than Judge
Wallace as presiding Judge of the Superior
Court. L is intimated that several Of the
Judges will sign a call for a meeting Of all
tie Judges, at which a new presiding Judge
may be elected. The public will make
study Of the list of Superior Judges who
may sign the call; also the list who may vote
% give the distribution OF cases to some
other Judge than Judge Wallace. There
are, doubtless. Judges whom the boOdlers
would not have much fear of appearing be-
fore Under the Buckley regime a fayOrite
way of getting guilty parties free was to
send their cases to Judge who owed his
nomination to Buckley. But it shoul d al
ways be remembered that in the height of
his greatness Buckley was but the reflection
OF a greater power than himself. That
greater power still exists. The Judges whom
Buckley could depend upon can likewise be
depended upon by the powers that made
Buckley. The safe way is to continue as
presiding Judge the Judge who impaneled
tie Grand Jury, and to hold him responsible
for tie trial Judges
