The tendency to despotism is advanc-
ing with strides that can but be alarming
to all who love government by the peO-
pie. We notice that old democratic war
boss, Senator Vest, of Missouri, has
been completely cut off from voice in
selecting federal appointees because he
differs from Grover I on the finance
question. 1t has also become settled
custom of administration and anti-ad-
ministration newspapers to refer to the
presidents views concerning legislation
as though he was the controlling power
in our national affairs. Aud, indeed,
this appears to be only too true.
Other presidents have been accused of
nepotism and handling the civil service
to further their designs on a second term,
but never before has a chief magistrate
made use If this means to coerce repre-
sentatives of the people into passing
such laws as he may desire to see enact
ed.
The trainers of our constitution in
tended that congress should consider
only the needs of the people and the
wishes of their constituents. They new
er dreamed that the president would use
the appointive power to entice members
of congress to turn against their cenvic-
tons and the wishes of their constituent
cy as was the case of Senator voorhees,.
of Indiana. and many others.

We observe that old timers who have
tried wheat raising on the most extern
sive scale are the ones who have the
most confidence in it, and are this sea-
son going in heavy for next years crop.
Every one knows that G. NJ. Hoover is
not visionary or impracticable. He was
in Ford county before anyone tried
''tickling the bosom of mother earth"
with pillow in these parts, and early
turned his thoughts to the consideration
of that grain from which comes the staff
of life. The first flour ground in Ford
county was made in the Sunset Roller
Mills, built with his money and conduct
ed under his personal supervision. Mr..
Hoover has, in fact, made wheat his
special study from a very early day in
the history of this country, and what
he does on this subject comes with it no
little weight. This has been the most
unfavorable season ever known for wheat
in this region, yet Mr.. Hoover is not
discouraged. He shipped the first car
load from Ford county that graded No.
2. 1t averaged IL bushels per acre, and
was raised on sod, near Bucklin. An
other tract of 800 acres of sod was brok-
en- for him this year on a section of land
near the same place, making a total If
Dearly 900 acres of sod on his land added
to the acreage il cultivation, all in
wheat. This, with 800 acres of old
ground, makes 1900 acres of wheat for
the harvest of 81. Mr.. Hoover has con-
siderable land in various parts of this
county. and is very liberal in encOurag-
ing tenants. He furnishes seed heat
and land, and gives them two-thirds of
the crop at the machine.

Last Sunday was red-letter day in
the history of st. Cornelius Episcopal
church. At morning service Bishop
Thomas. assisted by the Rector, baptized
three adults, and confirmed class of
fourteen persons. The pleasant and
commodious chapel was packed with an
attentive and interested audience. who
received the eloquent sermon of the
Bishop with marked appreciation. At
the evening service, the Holy communion
was administered to goodly number of
communicates, and large audience
heard another telling sermon by the
Bishop. The music under the talented
leadership of Mrs. j. w. Gilbert was
pronounced by all as most excellent and
impressive. The new 'sTe Deum'' on
which the choir had been at work for
some time. was pronounced by the Bish-
Op as far above the average. These SER
vices naturally drew much interest to
the Sunday school, which is increasing
very rapidly and exerting strong
influence among the children of our city.

Does it Pay1

Some time past a system of pulling
joints once . month regularly was
adopted in Dodge City. Last February
1t was thought they would stand raise
aud the price was made fifty dollars BY
ordinance. Since then, and up to and
including September. the sum Of eleven
hundred dollars has been collected and
placed in the Golfers of our city treasury
by this means. We will view this mat
ter from u business standpoint, and
leave all considerations of morality and
sentiment out of the question. There
have been some minor offenses, such as
drunk and disorderly conduct, some
horsestealing and other petty larcenies,
which the perpetrators claim was melted
by the exhilerating effect of liquor
drinking, caused by congregating in the
Joints for amusement. But We will pass
all these by and take only the killing of
Low Warren, which all admit was the
direct result of gambling and joint
whisky. Two families are desolate, of
whom the head of each was naturally
well qualified for success in any business
pursuit. Likewise we must pay the ex-
pense of custody and trial of James w.
Wells for murder. MIR. Wells has en-
ployed Hon. E. II. Madison, one of the
most able practitioners and skillful
managers of a criminal defense in the
State of Kansas. His policy will be to
delay proceedings and obtain new trials
in case of conviction.
The first trial is estimated at from five
totseven hundred dollars by conservative
county officers. Board and guard of
prisoner while awaiting trial will make
a considerable item. If disagreement
is had, or some technical point made on
which TO secure a new trial, which is
quite likely, then the 81 100 will be lost
and large deficiency made to cover
future collections.

self-esteem, want of judgment. Where
these are especially strong before the soul
is cleansed they will be manifested after
wards in the character.
~ A failure to discern wisely at the
point of divine guidance. We give too
much attention to sensible impressions ard
supernatural revelations and not enough
to the Scriptures, common sense, and the
providences of God as means of guidance.
In speaking of cure for said vacillation
l would say in the language Of Bishop
Hogg' and Rev. w. B. NJ. Colt: The
only efficient remedy will be found in
greatly increased uniformity, explicitness
simplicity and scripturalness i'll the pulpit
teachings Of our ministry, closer and more
persistent personal work with our men,
bers who are protesting holiness or are
hungering and thirsting after the expert
enoe-and these supplemented by deeper
experience and more consistent exhibition
of the fruit Of true holiness on the part Of
our ministers in general"
I'VE must not discourage or discredit
being blest, getting happy, or being filled
and thrilled with the joy Of the Holy
Ghost but we must be diligent and per-
ST stent in our efforts to keep before the
people the necessary facts of salvation.
The fact Of pardon and the fact of entire
holiness are both certified to by the Holy
Spirit

The Deadly Wire Again.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. An cleo
trio light wire yesterday morning cleo
trocuted man and almost guillotined
him as well, the current burning deep
into his neck and almost severing the
head from the body. Just before day
light the wire, which carried a current
of two thousand volts for the street
lights broke, and lay in coil more
deadly than any serpent awaiting a
victim. The place was pitch dark and
soon cab was driven against the
broken wire. The horse was knocked
down and vehicle set on fire, but the
driver escaped A horse attached to
a brewers wagon next stepped on the
wire and was instantly killed. This
attracted the attention of policeman,
who posted himself nearby to warn
people. Soon after Leonard Figg, col
ored, came up on his way to work.
He approached in the opposite direc-
ton and the officer on guard did not
see him until he heard sharp groan,
and turning saw the man in the grasp
of the deadly wire, which writhed and
coiled about him like some live mon
ster. He had walked right into it.
Several persons rushed to the rescue,
but, on touching the man, were knock
ed senseless. He had fallen with the
wire coiled about his neck and cloud
of smoke rose as the deadly metal
burned into his flesh. A set of cleo
trician's tools were at last secured and
the wire cut. The man was stone
dead and the neck almost severed
The pipe he was smoking was still
clenched in his teeth and his hands
were thrust in his pockets, death hav-
ing evidently been almost instanta-

Dreadful RaiIroad Accident

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. About
TAO o'clock this morning Central
Hudson passenger train ran down six
men near the foot of Emerson avenue.
Three were killed outright and three
injured. One died at the hospital, an
other is dying and the third is serious
ly hurt. The men, who were all en-
ployed as section hands on the Central
Hudson railroad, were walking on the
track, going to make some repairs. 1t
was very cold and the wind and snow
were blowing filriously. One of the
men turned and saw the passenger
train bearing down on them. He yell
ed to the men, who were just ahead of
him, and jumped from the track, and as
he did so the cylinder box Of the en-
CINE struck him in the hips. In sec
ond the other men were flying through
the air in all directions.

THE CAssARD.-The Arrow steamer
Howard Cassard has been towed from
Kerr's salt wharves TO Woodall's ship
yard and locked. The hull is to be
scraped and painted, and the rudder
is to be extended below the shaft beal-
ing at least four feet and also given
more width. For q week past the en-
gines have been worked with satisfac-
tory results. As soon as the rudder
is enlarged and the river is clear of
ice the CasSard will make trial trip.
The original valve gearing has been
changed to some extent and parts of
machinery have been added, but very
little departure has been made from
the original principles of Robert NJ.
Fryer, the designer. The trial
will be made with Mr.. Fryer's
propeller. 1t has been recon-
mended that this propeller also be
changed, but this is contingent upon
the Cassard's action on the trial trip.
The present propeller is regarded as
being too heavy. Captain Craig, who
has long been on the Cassard, will
handle her on the trial.-Bait. San.

THE ARIEL SEXTETrE, composed of
the six Smith sisters, will appear at the
Opera House tonight in one of their
musical entertainments. Miss Gertrude
is said to possess a soprano voice of un-
usual excellence and sweetness, and the
six sisters possess such musical talent as
is seldom found. A Newark, o., paper
says Of an entertainment given in that
city "The sweet soprano voice of Miss
Gertrude Smith captivated the entire
audience, and established her as one of
the sweetest singers Of the age, and she
was applauded time and again. The
three sisters accompanying also re-
ceived the plaudits of tho auditors"

I.RGryG TIE RAILROAD BRIDGE TO
ARLINGToH.-A meeting of the citizens
Of Alexandria county was held Thurs
day night at Columbia schoolhouse to
hear the report of Messrs. Frank Hume,
lanes Z. Clements and w. c. Wiblrt,a
committee appointed at former meet
inc to wait upon Senator Hunton, Rep-
res,ntatiyc Meredith and the District
Commissioners to urge the passage OF
the bill allowing the Washington, Al,

Company to build a bridge across the
Potomac from Arlington to Washing
ION. The committee in their report
read letters from Senator Hunton and
Representative Meredith saying they
were strongly in favor of bridge at
that point and would support the bill.
The committee further reported that
Commissioners Ross and Rossell seemed
TO be favorable to the bill, but that
Commissioner Douglass was strongly
opposed to any bridge at that point ex,
cept the much talked Of Memorial

government. Asa part of its report
the committee read the decision OF En-
gnner Davis. of the U. !. War De-
partment advising that the bill be not
passed. The committee stated that the
adverse decision of the War Depart
ment seemed to be based upon one fact,
that the government did not want the
bridge Of n private corporation there,
because il would interfere with the
building of the Memorial bridge. The
meeting was large one. Speeches
flvoring the bridge were made by
Messrs Hatch, Hainey, Hayes, Lyons,
