Two Cases Sett, ed.


The supreme court of Kansas handed down
its decision in two of the contest cases; set
ting later hyur for hearing the facts in the
Rosenthal case and in tho Cofey county
tie case.
In the Jackson county case. in which Ed
Shellabarger, the pOpulist can iidate, wanted
his seat because the last legislative appor-
tionment did not include the city of Holton
in the district, the court held that the city of
Holton rightfully belonged IN that district
and vas, evidently, omitted by legislative
error, and that the citizens of Holton, who
are not in any DINER legislative district,
should not be disfranchised, decided the case
against the populists.
In the Republic county case in which the
populist candidate, J. W. Willis, asked for
tho seat for which J. NJ. Foster holes the
certificate, on the grounds that part of the
tickets we're misnumbeIed and that those
tickets upon which the muir Der of the district
was given as The I'D. instead of 61st, shou d
not have been counted. The court said that
the boun larieS of Republic county and the
61st district are the same and that under the
old apportionmcnt a part of the county was
in the I'D DIS riot. The misnumbering of
the tickets was evidently clerical error and
as the people who used the misnum bered
tickets intended to vote for the candidates
whose names were on the ticket they should
not be dIsfranchlsed on account of q cieri-
cal error,

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Representative Otis Has a
Scheme for 1t.
die Desires the United States Shall
Have Full Control Of That Project
His Bill Includes a Department
OF Transportation.

sWAsHNGToN, D. c., January 6.-Mr. Otis,
of Kansas, offered IN the house a bill Great
ing a department of transportation and pro-
riding for the construction of the Nicaragua
ship canal The department is to have gen.
'eral supervision of carrying the trade of the
entire country and to exercise all powers OF
the interstate commerce commission, which
Is abolished. On his appointment the sec
rotary of transportation is to name COM
mission of three persons. one from the At
lantic slspe, one from the Mississippi valley
and one from the Pacific slope, to be known
as the Nicaragua canal commission, whose
duty is made to proceed to Central America
and to inspect the work performed by the
Maritime Canal company and report what
treaties etc, are Necessary. TO give the
United States full control of that waterway.

The Chic and Choc Lobby.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January THE pres
ident sent to congress the treaty with the
Pawnee Indians, and also the treaty with the
Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches, made by
the Cherokee commission. The treaties
were accompanied with bills prepared by
Secretary Noble, in compliance with terms
of the treaties which were approved by the
president.
This places all the treaties for lands in
the Indian and Oklahoma territories made
by the commission before congress, with
bills covering the same. Delegate Harvey
has now all the material before him for con-
les made by the commission, excepting the
strip treaty. He hopes to be able in few
days to complete the omnibus bill. and get
1t started through the legislative mill.
The terms in the treaties to be included in
the one bill are such as to make it possible
to make bill of this sort. He proposes to
frame the bill ia such a way that none of
the money called for will come out of the
treasury, but the Indians will get their money
as soon as it is received at land offices from
the settlers who locate on the land.
This easy financial feature is made part
of the bill in ORDER to avoid the open opposl-
ton of the Holman class of statesmen. The
omnibus plan calls for radical change in
some of the treaties. The treaty with the
Kansas Comanches and Apaches provided
for the payment of s., coo OO0 in all for their
lands. OF this amount 100000 to be paid
within four months after the treaty is rati-
fed, 500, 000 to be paid in one year, $1OO, 600
to be paid within two years and the remain
ing 81, go, 0O0 10 be placed in the treasury at
per cent to the credit of the Indiana.
The obstruction to the scheme that is
feared is that the ''Chic and Choc" lobby
may succeed In getting 81, 100000 rider on
the bill, to be applied where it will do the
most good"

The Gauntlet Cast.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, January 10.-General
Agent Oran Perry. of the Pennsylvania rail
way, this city, called twenty-three union
freight handlers into his Office and told them
to take their choice between loyalty to the
company and to their union. Ten stepped
to one side. choosing the company, but the
rest remained with the union and these were
at once paid off and discharged.
81 don't want to be misunderstood in this
matter" said Perry. This company will
not furnish bread and butter to men who
are likely to prove u1faithful to it. You
cannot be loyal to the company and to your
union, and if you prefer the union that pays
you we'll and good. It is not necessary to
mince matters at all. / am satisfied that
my superior officers will find no fault with it !"
Secretary Kelly, of the local lodge of
Brotherhood OF Trainmen stated that Super
intendent Darlington was making grave
mistake in opposing the unions. The union
men say the Pennsylvania company is tax
ing the first step and the other companies
will II INFO line; that it is the purpose Of the
companies to rid themselves of union inhu-
ences before the time for the worlds fair.

Tho Buffalo Strike.

The New York legislature on assembling
listened to the message of Governor Flower.
Touching the Buffalo strike, the governor
announces the expenditures by the state to
have been 1892 47. ana then adds: 'Em-
ployes have the right to strike and peaceably
persuade others to JOIN them, and in their
earnest and | wful efforts to benefit their
condition they may always feel sure that
public sympathy Is with them and against
selfish corporations. But every citizen and
corporation, every employe and employer
must observe and respect the authority of
law and government. 1t should be the aim
of law-making bodies to see that our laws
confer equal privileges. 1t is not right that
power should be given to corporations to
Cypress either their employees or the people.
Whatever can be wisely done by legislation
to guarantee, equal rights to all should be
done. But Law will Lot accomplish every
thing.
Corporations will learn by costly expert
ment that even from the selfish point OF
view it pays to be confederate of the welfare
of their employees. No men or corpor stions
can stop the march of civilization Shorter
hours of labor, better wages, and the oppor-
tunity which these give for education and
enjoyment. are natural human aspirations.
They should be tire tied rs such in q frien lily,
Christian spirit, not repelled with arrng mt

recogui ion by corporations of just demands

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 6.-Repre-

treasury to make the necessary regulations
to secure frequent and speedy redemptio

ducers of disease. and that greenbacks and

"Husual degree, and the bill Is intended es-
pecially to aid in wording off tbs cholera
scourge expected next summer. An iuvesti-
cation into the sub ect has recently been

it could be renewed, that the canvass of ono
day could be repeated the next and counter
certificates be issued so different contestants,

or district, can compel them to reassemble
or give them any power to recanvass any

Textile Fabrics Sold Ahead
One-Third of a Year.
The Full Production OF the Mills
Called For-Traders Anticipate a
Big Season-Money Feels Uncer-
tain Over Action OF Congress.

New YORK, January Or g. Dun d Co.'S
Weekly Re new of Trade says:
Business for the new year opens well. In
every part of the country, and apparently in
almost every branch of business, traders arc
looking forward to year of large transac-
lions. But in financial circles the year
opens with considerable feeling of uncer-
taInty, owing to the revival of gold exports,
which will be about $500, 600 for the cur
rent week, ana the old doubts about the &C
tion of congress. The government crop re-
port started q little stronger buying, but
wheat soon reacted to Tx cents, decline
o: nearly n cent for the week, the western
bushels. In spite of the large receipts, corn
gained over l cent for the week, and oats
also, while pork rose 81, lard so cents and
hogs % cents per 100 pounds. Coffee il IN
changed, oil IL cents stronger, but cotton
shows no change, with sales of $50, 00) bales.
Speculation in stocks is depressed by the
monetary anxiety. Government and other
large disbursements make the money mar
ket easier, but the ban expect the ex-
ports of gold to continue. In iron a welker
tone is manifest, with reports of red Q d
prices for pig by some of the southern CON-
Germs. Deliveries of rails the past year were
but SOC. 900 tons. The markets are irregu-
lar and weak, though in structural and sheet
iron q large business is in prospect. The
change in the relations of the Lehigh and
Reading does not yet effect the prices of
coal. Copper and tin are well supported,
but lead Is weak. The shipments of boots
and shoes for 1892 were 3,7U9, 564 cases.
against 3, Ala 343 the last year, and 8, 583 349
in 1850. The most prosperous year eser
known in textile manufactures leaves the
full production of most mills sold for four
months ahead, and the new year opens with
great strength in woulens and cottons. The
above monetary uncertainties, the enormous
demand for textile fabrics, appears to give
an assured future for some months to the
manufacture and trade in these branches.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der $40. For the corresponding week of the
last year they were 435.

Pullman Denied Monopoly

TOPEKA, January THE clerk of the
United States circuit court has received
Judge Riner's opinion in the case of the
Pullman Palace Car company vs.. the NJ. K.
& T. Railway company. 1t denies the Pull
man company the Injunction asked for to
prevent the railroad from using Wagner
cars. The order which accompanies the de-
cislon further dissolves the restraining or
der which was granted for the same pur-
pose.
This decision Leaves the case as it was be-
fore the in JUNCTION was asked for, and the
''Katy's" contract with the Pullman COM
pany is at an end. The railroad, it is sale,
will begin at once the use of Wagner cars,
and it is probable that other western roads
will follow suit as soon as their present con-
tracts run out. The decision Is of great i'm
portance, for it displaces, for the present
time, Pullman cars on western roads.
Judge Riner is at his home In Cheyenne,
and sent the decision from there. The opin-
ion covers fifteen typewriter pages.

Governor Pattison's Message.

Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, In
his message to the legislature, said relating
to the Homestead labor troubles: ''The ex-
perience at Homestead cost the stated $780,
O56." The governor says with reference to
the labor troubles at Homestead and the
way the sheriff dealt with them: There
was really no effort made on the part of the
civil authorities to suppress the disorder.
The entire community seemed to surrender
to the disorderly element. l therefore sug-
gest to the legislature that the costs incurred
in suppressing local disturbances in which
civil authorities call upon the military power
of the commonwealth, should be placed
upon the county calling for the troops.
This may be an incentive to the local author
tiles to determined action in the beginning
of disturb 4nce. In this connection leglsla-
ton should be had looking to prevention of
introduction of armed bodies of men with
out the consent OF the authorities of the
county or state. The state of Pennsylvania
already has a state police in the coal and
iron police"

A Kansas Wizard.

LINCOLN, NEB., January 10.-The novel
case. the first of its kind ever tried, came up
in the district here. DIR. W. B. Sinsher, OF
Goodland, Kan, last July contracted with
syndicate OF Lincoln capitalists to bring
rain within three DAYS for $1,000 Tbs
rain ca me on time, but the syndicate refused
payment and demanded proof that it was
Sinsher's rain. The wizard was ordered 70
bring his apparatus INTO court and he com
piled. It consisted of two immense mills,
Jars, galvanic battery, copper wire, molten
emo, q pair of gigantic tunnels, the wnois
thing connected with small tubes, one or
which was supposed to discharge the cheml-
cal solution into the outer air. After long
argument the court decided that Sinsher
need not disclose his formula or demon
strate how he brought down moisture Re
swore solemnly that he produced the rain
and got Judgment for 81 ,OOO.

Vest and Morgan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 4-The fol-
lowing letter, written by Senator Vest, ap-
peared in Washington paper from St
Louis. The firm earnestness of its tone
touching Indian Commissioner Morgan pro-
voked some interest here and brought what
follows as an interview with Commissioners
Morgan. Here is the letter:
WASHINGTON, D. c., December G, 1892
Ny DEAR SIR-Yours OF December with
enclosure has been received. 1t is impossi-
BILE to say anything in the way of removing
Rust or sbol,shing the agency under the ad-
ministration. The president is governed
missioner Morgan, and Morgan Is narrow
minded bigot, who knows nothing about the
Indian, and whose chief idea seems to be
that all governmental powers should be used
to prevent their being made Catholics. I
think General Noble is disposed to do right,
but he ID simply a cabinet officer, and con-
trolled entirely by the president. l will see
him, however, as to the matter at once.
G.G. VEST.
When seen in regard to the above Com
missioner Morgan SAID: 81 want to say that
/ care nothing for Senator Vest. prefer
his condemnation to his approval AS to
removing Rust, it is not in my hands at all.
L
have nothing to do with it. The reason I
am called bigot is because opposed fed
eral appropriation tn carry on sectarlan
schools among the Indians. When I took
hold of my Office found among the Indians
Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational,
Episcopal and Catholic schools. which, while
controlled by these various churches entirely,
were wholly supported by the government.
The churches run them; the country paid
the bills. The extent of this is shown in the
yearly appropriation to the Catholic schools,
the largest appropriation.
''The appropriation to the Catholic schools
alone during the past eight years has been
almost So, 400, 900. The last year it has been
almost $3,600,O00. They teach less than
5000 pupils. opposed all this. mention
the Catholic church not because it is Catholic,
but because it was as large in its appropria-
ton as all the rest, and for the further rea-
son that all the other denominations have
decided to accept no further government
aid. When opposed this federal patronage
of religion, Senator Vest came forward az
the champion of the Catholics. That is all
l know of his hatred to me.
"My official life is now nearly over. March
1 I shall resign and go to New York. l shall
be the corresponding secretary of the Ma
tional Baptist Home Missionary society.
The salary is the same as receive now, and
the labors quite as near to my heart as my
present."
