GEORGE GOULD MAKES A STATE.
MENT

Mr. George Gould makes the follow
ing statement with regard to the float
ing debt of the Missouri Pacific: 1.-The
total floating debt of the company in
September, 1891, when the dividend for
that quarter was passed, aggregated 81
4S1, 341. That amount has been re-
duced until it is now 50, 100000. I hold
it all but 5000 and Mr.. Russell Sage
holds that Against this floating debt
Missouri Pacific has in its treasury and
owns absolutely tie following securities:
One million dollars Iron Mountain per
cent bonds, $1,000, 900 Missouri Pacific
first collateral trust per cent bonds,
So 800, 900 Wabash debenture b bonds
total 50, SOC, COO 1t has been thought
wise not TO sell these bonds at the prices
quoted for them in the general market,
but should the directors decide ut any
time that the company should be re-
iieved of It's floating debs l am willing
to take enough OF the above securities
at a fair price to liquidate my claim
against Missouri Pacific, and | have DO
doubt Mr. Sage would be willing to do
the same thing. Until some satisfactory
disposition of the floating debt can lie
made Mr.. Sage and myself are entirely
willing to carry the amounts due us."

FRRATIC WEATHER PHENOMENA.

The tremendous storm-wave which
swept over the United States Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week and
which is still sending the boisterous
winds sweeping over vast areas of land
and sea, is one of the most severe April
storms on record. The sun-spot editor
Of the Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
Gle explains the mattel after this fashion,
though if he is as far off in regard to
the suns phenomena as lie Is in regard
to the alleged demonstration i'll Kansas
his effort is of little worth:
''Since Sunday, the day of the total
eclipse, two solar disturbances have APP
peared by rotation. Each was followed
by destructive tornadoes, The most no.
table being in Kansas on Tuesday in
connection with the solar disturbance
then on the suns eastern limb. This
disturbance was observed Wednesday at
II O'Clock, the central spot being ad
vanced about day from the limb. This
disturbance is i'll the suns southern hem
isphere. Another disturbance which ap-
peared or Monday is near the suns equa-
tor, and seems to connect by a diagonal
line the disturbance which was near the
limb on Sunday, with that which came
on Tuesday, the disturbance being in the
sun s northern hemisphere.

Gatherings.

| Strange Scenes I'D Sports at These Festive
Gatherings.
On the second day the crowd really
begins TO swarm, and by evening all
| the avenues of the fair are damned.
| the gasoline lamps shed faring light
| over the sea of heads; the hurdy-gurdies
of the different merry go-rounds try 10
drown one another: the managers OF
the theaters, with their companies In
tights and spangles on the platforms
beside them, are bawling through
speaking trumpets descriptions of the
wonderful pieces about 20 be performed
inside, occasionally giving short
sketches as aliuring samples; parties OF
young peasants and their sweethearts
charge through the crowd This
charge = which is peculiarly Dutch. IS
accomplished by from ten TO twenty
persons locking arms, with the weight
forward. and acting on the principle of
a battering-ram. 1t is very effective,
and will open lane through the dens-
est throng. The chargers sing cheer
fully during the onset. and the collisions
are generally taken as neat bits OF
pleasantly When the chargers reach,
or have created, a comparatively open
space they form 4 ring, and jump up
and down, shouting, 'Hustlel Hustle"
in time to the steps, while the tempo Is
accelerated till the feet give out and
the breath is gone.
What the Denny brool1 Irishnan
would term "a fine bit of fight now
follows. A cry has gone up from the
txo combatants who have squa billed
about nothing "Laren! Laren, Laren.'
from one, and from the other, 'Huizen!
Huizen. Huizen.' Our village tLaren)
is Catholic; Huizen, just beyond, is
Protestant; and the feuds of the rival
creeds, though mild in comparison with
those of the past, are bitter yet No
decent and self-respecting Larenite
would dream of marrying into HuiZen,
and vice versa. The women's cap and
carr ings are of another pattern; SO are
the sabot, even those of the children.
There is absolutely no social communi-
cation between the communities. In
the olden days there was constant
fighting, and many head was broken
and many knife-stab given, but in
these times, except on special occa-
sions, the towns perserve surly
peace. But hot blood boils at kermess
time, and the old trouble breaks out
again, and the warcries bring the re-
serves hurrying to the field, clearing
for action as they come. In this case
the police separate the brawlers TAX
ing one to one end of the fair, and the
other with handsome cut on his head
from his opponents wooden shoe, in
the opposite direction. 1t may be well
to state, by the by, that a wooden shoe
of the size worn herea bout, snatched
off and used either as club or proiec-
tile, makes a weapon of great effective
ness, and one very convenient to get at
upon the first call of necessity. R ".

To the Editor o. the Eagle
DEAR SIR: The plan for opening the
Strip originated by Dir, Bruce of this
place is universally endorsed by the peo
pie of this place and surrounding coun-
try, 1t is the most practicable plan pro
posed. The holding of a certificate
stamped on the morning of the opening
prevents the possibility Of 'Soonerism
and the affidavit virtually means that
no person will be allowed to enter the
Strip under any circumstances on the
day OF the opening, except those who
are legally entitled 10 as prescribed IN
certificate. If only legal homesteaders
are allowed to enter on the day OF OPEN
ing and they nave some means OF find
ing out when they final man on a claim
whether he has right there, then the
problem is solved: the illegal claim mold
er is all we fear and the plan above
mentioned undoubtedly shuts him out.
Respectfully, II. L. PRATER.

CLEVELAND AND JACKSON.
I. Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The charge about ''usurping the func-
tons Of congress" means, presumably,
that Cleveland is having tariff bill
framed in the treasury department.
Folk. who was fairly good Democrat,
did the same thing, and the measure,
! which was that known as the Walker
| tariff, reached. according to good Demo-
cratic authority, the high-water mark OF
craftsmanship in this line. jackson, who
occupies the place OF honor in the Demo
cratic Nalhalla, reduced some OF his
cabinet officers to a lower level than
mere clerks Of the administration;
they were put down to he rank of
private secretaries or body servants.
Jackson, in his fight against the United
States bank. told Louis McLane, secre-
tary of the treasury, to remove the gov
ernmentS funds out of that institution.
but as law, reason, and the voice Of con
greS5 were against this proceeding, Nc
Lane hesltated to do 1t, and he was
transferred to the state departments. and
w j. Duane was put i'll his place.
Duane was ordered to remove the funds,
but refused, when he was turned out of
office. and was succeeded by Roger b.
fancy. This time jackson succeeded in
his purpose, for the funds were taken
out of the bank. But if Taney had de-
clined to do this work he would have
met Duanes fate.
Jackson, too, swung the patronage
club" and not only over the heads of
senators and representatives, but over
those of cabinet officers and all other
high officials belonging 10 his party. He
asserted himself in ways never dreamed
of by Cleveland, and employed federal
offices to promote his personal ambitions
and to crafty his personal spites and
preiudices to an extent which neither
Cleveland nor any other president in
our day would dare to approach. If
Cleveland's Democratic enemies cal him
a William II, Jackson must have been
an Alexander III.

NOR Lewelling deserves the sincere
thanks of the people of Kansas for the
tirlnness he displayed in resisting the
appeals of those who asked him to call
an extra session of the legislature. If
that is the real and sole reason why he
has not called an extra session he is en-
Titled TO public regard therefor. but
there are reasons for the belief that the
prompt and unanimous protest on the
part of the Republicans of the state had
much to do with helping him to his de-
termination.
