THE PISTOL METHOD.

1t is related that some forty Kansas
farmers recently attempted to settle one
mortgage question with their forty pis-
tolls. Foreclosure on a smS!l farm had
taken place, and the party in possession
as sequence was persuaded by the two
score rev0lvers that he should at once
become a nonresident He was assured
that the alternative was to remain and
become corpse. He saved his life, but
lost the property. There was a sugges-
ton in this OF some of the practices IN
that region in the early times. A case
is recalled back in 1856, when a man in
possession of choice quarter section,
even then well improved, as a reason
for abandoning the country, pointed the
writer to the door of his small house.
riddled with balls. Rifles had persuaded
him to leave. In the case the other day
it was unquestionacly hard for the
farmer who had made the claim
to lose it. He had borrowed mon
ey for Improvements in anticipa-
ton of crops that failed, and the fore
closure followed. The party who loaned
him the money was not bloated cap
italist or heartless Spectator, but a
female school teacher, who had saved
something from her earnings. 1t is not
easy to assert that she ought t0 lose
her money. But the farmer with the
mortgage was not an isolated case.
There have been thousands like him,
some farmers, and some in other lines.
They were impatient to get along. and
drew too much on the future. They
lost. 1t is not believed that any con-
siderable number of the farmers in
Kansas approve the use of the pistol
rather than the law when the latter in
wolves hardships. If. as alleged, the
forty farmers were members of an alli-
ance, that particular aggregation should
disperse.

Atlantic CattIe Traffic.

LONDON, May 3l.-Mr. Chaplin, pres
dent of the board of agriculture, will in
troduce in the house of commons to-
Il orrow bill to regulate cattle traffic
Oh tne Atlantic. The bill is short and
simple one, and mainly proposes to en-
able the board of agriculture to impose
regulations on the cattle traffic, giving
effect to the recommendations OF the
committee which recently investigated
the matter. The steamship companies
are organizing to oppose the bill. as the
measure will involve an extensive alter
att on of the internal fittings of vessels
in the cattle-carrying trade. The gov
eminent does not expect to pass the
bill this session of parliament.

STREET SCENES.

The Sunday saunterer in ST. Paul is always
eager for fortuitous excitement or an I'M
usual diversion. If anything out of the
ordinary happens on the street crowd
gathers so quick and so large that one won

CURED. Last evening, shortly after clock,
belligerent bull dog saw a demure and in
nocent-looking black shepherd enter the
bailiwick of the aforesaid bull dog on Min
neSota street, between Sixth and Seventh
streets The bull was aching for scrap,
and he fancied he saw an easy victim in the
harmless-a appearing visitant. The two were
about the same size, and the bull made an
onslaught sufficient to completely paralyze
the shepherd The shepherd looked pleas
antly at the other and wagged his tail
apologetically, but no apologies went The
bull opened up ferociously and the shep-
herd parted for a moment, goodnaturedly.
He apparently didn't want to fight but
finally patience ceased to be virtue and
battle royal ensued. 1t lasted fully fifteen
minutes. The people came from every dir9c-
ton until it was a perfect crush and the
street was blockaded. The dogs fought on.
The bull growled viciously with each effort,
but the shepherd kept his presence of mind
until he found all opportune opening, and
then Selling the bull by the neck he held on
until his adversary was in danger of suffoca-
ton. No one essayed to part them, and they
continued the battle until the bull no longer
had the strength nor inclination to make
another effort. Then the shepherd let up
and trotted home with as much abandon as
though he mad succeeded in getting what he
was evidently in quest ola bone. The
crowd began slowly to disperse and the bull

THE LOCAL PULPIT.

st. Paul is to be congratulated over
the fact that Rev. SAMUEL &. SMITH
has refused the very fiattering offer of
a pastorate in Chicago which was ten
dered him. He has. built up a strong
parish in this city by the force of his
own personality, and it would have
been serious loss to the community
had he consented to leave it. He COM
bines in himself qualities rarely found
in union, and is not only a scholar
among scholars and man of the world
among men of the world, but also a
scholar among men of the world aud a
man of the world among scholars. 1t is
not often that bookiSh man who reads
much should also be alert in the discus
sion of public questions, should be in
keen sympathy with his fellows, Shout d
rank high as an orator and withal
should be noted for unusual executive
ability. And yet. even if DR.. SMITH
has any critics, they cannot deny that
he may truthfully be said to fill bill of
this sort. He is power in st. Paul
and must be kept here, no matter what
the temptations which are held out to
him from other places.
1t is not yet announced whether Mr.,
WHITE, of st. Johns church, will ac-
cept the rectorship of the Divinity
school at Faribault TO which he has
been elected or not, but it is to be hoped
that he will not. He has great many
attractive characteristics as man
and a preacher, but is particular,

parishes with which he has been con-
nectedhave been very short because the
news of his achievements has been circu
lated widely and he has been constantly
called from one place to another. In eacl
instance he has consulted not his own in
terest, but his sense of duty, and ha.
responded to the successive calls fol
help which have been addressed to him.

Kicked His Little Babe.

New YORK, May 21.-Daniel Nc
Carthy, aged twenty-eight, was arrested
to day for most brutal crime. On
Saturday night Mccarthy went to his
home, No. 221 East Twenty-frst street,
drunk.Hi wife asked him for his wages
and quarrel ensued. She had her
six-weeks' old babe in her arms at the
time. Suddenly Mccarthy felled her to
the floor and then aimed a vicious kick
at the PROSTATE woman. The little
weak child received the full force OF the
brute's foot in the groin, which so in
Jured it that it will die. The woman
was also dragged around the room and
frightfully beaten, after which McCar-
thy left the house. He was arrested.

THE NEW METHODS.

The example of the Episcopal bishop
of North Dakota in the erection of a
locomotive church, or rail-car chapel,
has been followed by the Baptists, and
other denominations propose to fit out
some of their missionaries in this way.
AS the railroads now more than keep
pace with the advance of civilization,
this method of reaching the new regions
may be made very serviceable. u
ligious exercises can BE held at the sta
tions, and even at the wayside switches
when there are any settlers about.

CALLS CERTIFICATE.
His Enemies Now at Work With
the Governor


the Governor.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 31.-The
opponents of Senator Call in the late
contest over his reelection in the Flor
ida legislature to the United States
senate are making strong efforts to
induce Gov. Fleming to withhold his
signature from Calls certificate of cleo
ton, then declare that no legal election
has been held, and appoint another man
to fill the vacancy. A committee of five
antl-Call members = Senators MYERS.
Hammond and Wall and Representa-
tives Hacker and Dougherty-has filed
the following protest with Gov. Elem
ing:
1--WE respectfully beg your excellency
to withhold the certificate of election to
the United States senate of Hon. Wilk-
inson Call, for the following reason: :
The election purports to have been CD
the Goth of May, 1891. by the
legislature of the state of Florida
in joint session when in point of
fact the journal of the alleged
joint session shows that quorum of
the senate was not then present, and
consequently that the legislature of the
state of Florida was not in Joint session.
Aud, further, that there is no record of
the senate which shows that the senate
of the state of Florida was organized on
that day, or that it held any session at
all upon that day. For these reasons
we respectfully submit that said cleo
ton, which purports to have been held
upon that day, was illegal and is void,
and respectfully ask that you withhold
said certificate.''
Gov. Fleming says that he will be
glad to hear the question discussed fuIIv
by both sides before taking any action
in the matter. Only thirty-one mem
bers of the sen ate are now in the city
and yesterday fifteen anti-Call Demo-
Gratis with the aid of the one Republi-
