CIRCUMSTANCES Aztec CASES.


The goring of our own OK begets a
feeling in us that instant PREPARATION is
our due, the Withholding of which ex-
cites our impotence and anger: but
when our OK goes another bull-why,
we must investigate the case and pro-
coed with caution.
a few weeks ago the heather Chinese
in al interior district grew excited and
plundered and ill-used some foreign
missionaries and killed few who were
meddling with their religion and try
ing to force new religious belief upon
them. The powers to which these mis-
siOnaries acknowledged allegiance sent
their war vessels to Chinese waters
with demands for immediate and am
pie compensation for all damages done
TO the foreigners, and the punishment
OF the riotous Chinese. The govern
ment of that country does not appear
to move fast enough to suit the foreign
residents. who, we are told in cable
gram. are growing very impatient at
the hardness of the Chinese officials in
Furnishing the perpetrators OF the out
rage, though it is admitted two patches
OF the offenders have been convicted
and sentenced to penal servitude for
life, which in China is infinitely worse
than death. The trial, conviction and
sentence have taken place within few
weeks of the commission of the offense,
yet ''the patience of the foreign popu-
lation is well-nigh exhausted"
Some years ago a mob of riotous
miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming, in
the Christian and civilized United
States OF America. invaded a camp of
peaceful Chinese laborers, burned their
cabins and shot the terrified wretches as
they tried to fee. Several Of them
were burned to death in the cabins.
Not one of the assailants was ever ar
rested or tried. The great Christian
government of the United States, when
appealed to for redress by the govern
ment OF heather China, answered that
it had no power to do anything; that it
was not bound, anyhow, to make repair
alton: but that as a gratuity for the rel
atives Of the slaughtered men, and out
Of the very goodness and generosity Of
its heart, it would pay them a sum of
money-if the congress OF the United
States would appropriate the money
for that purpose.
The distinction between civilization
and barbarism is very plainly marked.

KANSAS No CRITERION.

Why should any sensible man in
Texas cite Kansas as an illustration OF
the evil of mortgages? Kansas has no
such homestead protection as that af-
forded by Texas law. In its constitu-
ton, Texas protects the eountryman
from mortgage in the possession of 200
acres o. land, in one or more tracts,
with all the improvements thereon. and
the townsman in the possession OF a lot
or lots to the value of $4,000, with all
the improvements thereon The man
and wife cannot mortgage that 200
acres or these 5000 worth of town lots
ii they would-a mortgage on them IN
der the homestead laws of Texas is not
worth the paper upon which it is writ
ten.
What more, then, can be asked in
protection? Why cite Kansas, which
has no such protection from the mort
gage?
Why should the man safe in his pos

THE Democratic platform OF the state
OF Texas generally holds plank some
thing like this:
Resolved, that we are opposed to
the fostering of special industries by a
protective tariff that denies to our
people the right to buy their goods in
the markets OF the world, where they
can buy them cheapest"
That is not always the exact Ian
guage, but it is the meaning.
Following or preceding this utterance
in the next Democratic platform shall
we have another plank Of this tenor?
Resolved, that we favor the Gossett
amendment to the alien land law, that
excludes cheap foreign money from the
state and limits our borrowers to high
priced Yankee money. America for
Americans. Whoop :"
The Democratic campaign speaker
who starts out with this platform to de-
fend will get so split up the back that
he will not know whether he is in two
pieces or one piece.

REPORTS from the Northern corn

REPORTS from the Northern corn
raising states are that heavy frosts
have destroyed the corn OF large areas.
The crop will still be big one, unless
subsequent frosts prove damaging.
Nevertheless, it is a constant source OF
danger for the farmer north OF the
southern boundary OF Iowa, that his
years labor will come to naught in one
brief, clear, frosty night. Land in
states that are subject to these dangers
sells at $50 to $40 an acre. AS good
land can be had in Texas, where the
corn is matured and marketed two
months before any frost can come, for
So to $40 an acre. There must be some-
thing to account for this disposition of
men to pay high prices for lands in one
part of the country whose product is
frost-nipped, when there are millions
OF acres Of as good lands, without dan
ger OF frost, to be had for one-fourth
what they have been paying. What

NINE PEOPLE POISONED.
The Kind of Poison not Known-Believed
to be Accidental.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. S.-A special to
the Times from Bellville, Kan, says: Nine
people of this place are at the point of death
as result of having partaken of poison in
food served at dinner ut the house of Geo.
Gregg. Gregg returned from Iowa last
Saturday, where he had gone to bring
home his wife and children, who
has been visiting there. 4 young
lady relative whose name has not yet been
learned accompanied Mrs. Gregg. Sunday
Ira Johnson. a neighbor, called on his way
home from church and accepted an invita-
ton to dinner. Eight persons sat down TO
the table, Mr. and Mrs. Gregg, their four
children, the visiting relative and Ira John
son. Soon after dinner they all became
violently ill exhibiting all the symptoms of
poisoning. Shortly afterwards Il servant,
who had in the meantime ate some dinner,
also became ill, showing the same
symptoms. Since then all have grown
steadily worse, and the recovery of none OF
the victims is expected. What is the ma
ture OF the poison and how it was admins
tered, are questions that remain to be an
swered. Gregg and his family are highly
respected in the community, and it is proba
bic that the poisoning was accidental. There
are those, however, who believe it was de
liberately done with criminal intent, but
nothing has developed to sustain their sus-

ST. LOUIS, No, Sept. s.-What resulted
in killing occurred tonight in a singular
place, the city Jail. Colax Jackson and
man named johnson, an ex-convict, two
prisoners, quarrelled over the possession of
a checker-board. The difficulty was ended
for the time by the order of
the guard to the prisoners to
clean up their cells. After this
was done the men quarrelled again. With
slight provocation, so the guards say, John
son wrenched off a piece OF iron on the mop
he had and with a powerful blow sunk it
into Jackson's head. Jackson cannot pos
sibly live and Johnson, who was under
sentence for forgery, was transferred to
murderers' row.

row TIE CASE STANDS.

OF the many remedies for the relief
of the oppressed farmer there is 10 end.
They are OF al kinds. and range from
the drastic purgative of McKinleyism
to the lenitive electuary OF John W.
BOokwalter. This gentleman. who made
a fortune out of turbine wheels, pub
fishes an article in the Forum for this
month, in which he laments the hard
condition of the farming population
throughout the country, but being a
good Republican and therefore blind to
the faults of his party, is wholly unable
To account for the agricultural misery
which he deplores so deeply, and signs
over so pityingly. He quotes some
figures that prove, if they prove any
thing, that the cause or causes OF our
agricultural woe, are mainly, if not en-
tirely, political in their nature. Bad
politics are at the bottom OF it all. But
while the causes Of the trouble are
political, he proposes remedy that is
purely social and philanthropic. But
let that pass for another time.
His figures show that the total esti-
mated gain in wealth for the whole
country during the past twenty years,
or from 1870 to 1890, is twenty-five bill
ion dollars. OF that gain, only two and
half billions, or one-tenth is repre-
sented by agricultural values.
From 1870 to 1880 the increase in ag-
ricultural values was in round numbers
1880, 900, 900. From 1850 to 1860 the in
crease in those same values was more
than four times as great, or trifie
over $4,000, 100000. During that de-
cade agricultural values rose from So
961 ,3iS, $40 in 1850, to $3.50, 493, OG3 in
1860. In 1870 the value of agricultural
property OF all kinds was Sl1, I23, Gill;
$50, and in 1880 So, ,l0S,141. Here
was an increase of less than
billion although population
had nearly doubled. The increase
in farm values for the decade
1850 to 1860, which was in round num-
bers four billions, was equal to the in
crease for the two decades from 1870 to
1890, which was a fraction over four
billions.
What do these figures mean? What
sort of story do they tell? Do they
not substantiate the allegations OF Dem
ocratic statesmen when they say that
the policy OF the Republican party that
1S90-excepting for four years, and
then had the senate-has operated to
the ruin OF the agricultural classes, and
the impoverishment OF the masses -?
Can any sane man feel doubt of it
| There has been extraordinary
gain in the total wealth of the
country-twenty-fve billions-but of
that the farmers got only one
tenth. Where have the other
nine-tenths gone? Suppose that sort
of thing is allowed to go on, in what is
it going to end What is to be the
fate of that class that receives OF the
whole gain in national wealth only 10
per cent, while 80 per cent goes into
the Golfers OF the protected and subsi-
died classes
The Democratic party says detroy
the party and the policy that is impover-
ishing the masses, and return TO the
honest methods that before the war
gave the farmer an equal chance with
all others. The sub-treasuryite says
food the country with fiat money, as
though that would not go where every
thing elseis going-into the pockets OF
the plutocrats and other pets of pater-
nalism.
