TROUBLES OF CANADA.
RUMORS TFLEGRA APHED TO TIL E
BRITISH DOMINION
That President Harrison Will Strike
q Blow at Canadian Railways-
The Toronto Globe Has
Few Words to Say on
the Subject.

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. "A dispatch
dated Washington, received here last
Saturday, states ia effect that President
Harrison has determined to make the
end of his administration notable by
blow at Canada in the shape of presi-
Dental proclamation curtailing and
abolishing the privileges now enjoyed by
the Canadian railroads of transporting
goods through the United States in
bond. 1t has excited considerable com
ment here The Globe, in dealing with
the matter says.
'If there is substantial ground of COM
! plant against Canadian roads it consists,
not in the amount of their earnings, nor
| in the vastness of their subsidies, but in
the fact, if it be fact. that in regard to
| American traffic, the Canadian compan
les are not complying with the inter state
| commerce law. They have declared ex
pressly that they regard themselves bound
by that law and are ready to obey it. If,
Notwithstanding that avowal, they are
disregarding or evading it, there is surely
|
way of dealing with the question than
these everlasting seedlings and dark
hints and blows at Canada.
If the law is not properly enforced, LET
the American authorities. charged with
its enforcement, do their duty. If an
amendment is required, as the inter state
commerce commissioners say, whv does
not congress make it2 If it is alleged
that the difficulty of the enforcement
arises from the treaty of Washington o.
from the Canadian railroad law, why il
not that matter brought to the notice o
Canada in a clear, regular and courteous
communication In this and other ques
tions Americans may have some genuine
ground of complaint against Canada o
its government, but we confess we ar
weary of this endless re petition of scold
ings in which railway subsidies, canals
Canadian Pacific railways, steamboats,
men of war on the lakes and fisheries ar
jumbled together in shapeless confusion.
Concluding the Globe thinks ths
there is hope that with the advent of tn
! Cleveland ADMINISTRATION in March,
J more straightforward mode of dealin
= with those questions will be adopted.

WRECK ON THE FIT. WAYNE
ROAD NEAR COLUMBIA CITY.
One Man Killed and Twenty Persons In
jured In the Accidental Broken Rail
Caused the Disaster -Bimetalists Meet
In Washington.
Derailcd at IA Bridge.


The two rear coaches OF train No. u
of the Pittshurg, Tort Wayne and Chi
cagO Road, eastbound, left the track at
Eel River bridge, one mile east OF Co
lumbia City, Ind. Gre man was killed
and twenty persons injured. The cars
rolled down a rocky EN-! ankment twenty
feet high. The ace dent was caused by
a broken rail. Tho lin on q driving
wheel OF the locomotive came of and
broke the rail. The train ran over the
bridge on the ties, and the two rear
cars left the track 100 feet further on.
Five minutes after the wreck every
passenger, with the exception OF DR..
John W. Paramore, had leen removed
from the ruined coaches. DIR. Para
more was sitting in the rear coach when
the cars left the rails and began to
bump &C the ties on the bridge.
When the coach whirled over the en-
bankment his head was caught between
the crashing timbers Of the roof and
crushed like an egg she'll. The body WAS
SO entangled in the wreckage that axes
had to lie callei into use before it could
be removed. Scarcely had the body OF
Paramore been secured when both
coaches caught fire from the O:erturned
stove. The flames were soon extin-
guished by the passengers, who threw
snow and ice over the Turning debris.
The wounded passengers looked on
while the flames we're extinguished with
that thankiulness which comes to those
who realize a narrow escape from the
most horrible of deaths. One feeble o.d
woman, whom fate had miraculous;y
allowed to escape without a scratch,
knelt down in the snow an offered up a
silent prayer Of thanks.

The american NOnrOnf0rmist
stated last week that there was exact
agreement in financial ideas between
Foster, the present secretary of the
treasury. and Carlisle. who is soon to
act in the same capacity for Cleveland.
If any one doubts the statement let
him read the following dispatch:
Whatever course OF action Secretary Foster.
OF the treasury. may take aS the result Of his
visit to New York. with a view to averting any
possible gold stringency. will receive the fusl
concurrence of Mr. Carlisle who is to succeed
him three weeks hence. and also OF the leading
Democrats in the Senate. \ few days ago
Secretary Foster invited one of the Demo
cratic leaders of the Senate to the Treasury
Department. and after laying befor. him II
detailed statement of the present condition of
the stock OF gold in the Treasury. frankly
asked his cooperation in the solution of the
pending difficulty. adding that this matter had
now passed beyond any partisan stage. and
the credit of the nation was involved. j he
Democratic Senator suggested that, as Mr.
Carlisle would be in a few days called upon to
face these same difficulties, it would be better
to discuss the situation with him AMI to de idc
with him upon some concerted policy which
the incoming administration cou.d take up
and cont nue.. After u long conference it was
agreed by Mr.. Carlisle and Secretary Foster
that emergencies would be met as they arise
and that the l. ssuance of bonds will be avoided

Appearance. Were Deceptiye,

He was a very shabby person in
deed. His clothes were of that much
worn character that precludes any
attempt at description. He had cot
ton in his ears, and he wore most
disreputahlc hat, yet there he was in
one of our large city dry goods stores,
as much out of place as a stoker in a
drawing-roOm.
No one paid any attention to him,
every one having come to the conclu-
sion evidently that he was work
man or some porter looking for job;
anything, in fact, but purchaser.
At last, after he had f1geted about
for some time, he started off toward
the cloak department and presently
came back with an obsequious floor
walker, who called out: "Show this
gentleman your finest sealskin wraps. :"
Every one looked in astonishment
at the seedy figure, and one young
woman had the grace to remark:
Excuse me, sir, thought you
were looking for a cloth garment"
mo, miss, seal skin amt good
enough for my little gal, and l guess
if there was anything more expensive
her pap 'ud buy it for her."
Only little everyday happening:
but it teaches the lesson that Il c

dog, attracted a good deal of atten-
tion. The man was deatly dressed,
ard carried sachel containing ar
ticles to sell swung over his shoulder.
He carried Il stick in order to enable
him to feel his way up or down a
step. The dog. Il plump, well-fed,
brown animal, had on sort of har-
ness, to which stout cord was at
tached from his back. He was. ap-
parently. in a hurry to do business,
for he tuggcd at the cord vigorously
as he went along. Every few steps
he would look around at his master
in the most intelligent way. as if to
discover whether he was coming along
safely.
AS soon as he got to door he
stopped and looked up at his master.
If the door was one on which was
posted the sign, "The other door, :"
the man would try the knob. and as
soon as the dog saw that his master
could not go in he would Immediately
move on to the next door. When a
door was opened the dog appeared to
understand exactly how to transact
business. He would pilot his master
straight to the office. in the back or
front part of the house. stop, and
look up. When anybody bought any
thing and "Good-day" was said, the
animal would lead the way out again,
often looking around at his compan-
ion, and, when the street was
reached, he would be sure to start
exactly where he left off and try the
next door. II the animal was not
fond of that man. the looks and ac-
tions of a dog go for nothing. .-Balti-

Topeka, Kan. special: A Populist
member said he would do all he could to
secure the passage of bills Withdrawing
appropriations for the State University,
State Normal School and other institu-
tions that sent young men here to help
defend the Republican house. Adjutant
General H. H. Artz said that in less
than six months he hoped to have the
Kansas state militia in such shape that
when he should call for the aid Of troops
he would have q thousand men on
whom he could depend to obey orders.
1t was rumored about town that Gov
ernor Lewell ng had been assassinate1.
Sheriff Wilkinson AMI some deputies
went to the Capitol Immediately, but
found no truth in the report. The scare
started from the fact that man, who is
believed to be only falf-witted, had
threatened to shoot the Governor on
sight. The fellow is still here, but has
not been placed under arrest, as the
Governor does not think it necessary.
The Popu,ists have created something
of sensation by the announcement Of
their intention to move the State capi-
tai from Topeka TO Salina. About $780,
600 is said to have been subscribed for
this purpose and twenty-five acres Of
land have been given.

FREE SILVER THE CRY.
The American Bimctalli: League Con
yrutiOn at WaShiuy:ol,

The American Bimctaliic League Con-
vrntion at Washington.
The first annual convention o. the
American Bimctallic League was calle
to order in Washington by its Presi-
dent. Gen. A. J. Warner. Fifty dele
ga.es from the Western States were
present. among them Gen. Weaver, the
candidate for President of the Peoples
party, accompanied by Mrs. Mary Lease.
Gen. Warner stated the aim of the
league TO be the securing of legislation
for the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. This question, he said, vas the
most important one now before
the American people or before
the civilized world. 1t overshadOwed
the tariff question, which, in his opinion,
was but result of the restricted COIN
age of silver. and it was really at the
bottom of the Irish question. 1t was
also at the bottom OF the labor ques-
tion and was responsible for the condi-
ton of the laboring man. Three-fourths
of the value of gold came from its
monetary use. He urged the league to
fight not only against the repeal of the
Sherman act, but to labor until silver
was put on a parity with gold. Gen. J.
B. Weaver male a speech, in which he
referred to Chairman Warner, and said
said that twelve years had elapsed since
they had joined in making the best fight
possible in the House of Representa-
tives for the free coinage Of silver, and
he called upon his friends to bear witness
that the cause had made considerable
progress. Mrs. Lease, OF Kansas, who
then addressed the convention, was
frequently applauded. She said that
the people Of the West had felt the
crushing effects OF legislation enacted
by the two great political parties for the
last thirty years. The people OF the
West, she said, demanded free trade,
free silver and free citizens, and if there
is anything else good in sight they are
in favor of that also. They realized that
God was the first to bestow free trade
and they held that Congress had no
right to restrict it. They demanded
competition in the open markets of the
world, the expense Of the Government
TO be maiLtained by an income tax.

Our Ranking system.

National banks never fail, say the
Republicans, and in reply the eyes of
the state are turned to the Capital
Bank at Lincoln.
The Government will ray the ma.
tional bank notes issued by the Capital
Bank at Lincoln, but will it pay the
delositors? OF course not.
A few more Capital Bank failures
will doubtless awaken the people to
the fact that blind idolatry of party is
not standing up for Nebraska
SO long as the Government stands
behind and redeems national bank
notes in case of the failure OF the bank,
wouldn't it be cheaper for the Govern
ment to issue the money direct?

will be standing up for Nebraska" as
heroically as ever when another cam
paign rolls around. Will the people OF
Nebraska stand with them, or will they
let them stane alone? ?-Holt County.

\ Condition..


The bank statements of January,
1893, as we'll as those of every other
trust in tie country, show that last
year was an exceptionally profitable
wear to them. New trusts are forming
almost daily, and old ones growing in
size and power. There are many who
believe that trusts" will soon be a
thing of the past; that they will soon
be legislated out of existence.
In the opinion of the Southern Mcr-
cary such people are greatly in error.
We are Just entering the era of trusts.
In fact. they are the defacto Govern
ment, and we are OF tho opinion that
they will 60 on increasing in number
and size till they march the United
States into absolute socialism. They
are demonstrating the fact that 1000
men with $1,000 each, by combining,
can make more money for each, in a
given time, than 500 can wi 1000
each. If such is the case, then 1900
men with 81 900 each can make more
than 1000, and so on. DO those who
organize these colossal trusts under
stand that they are demonstrating the
feasibility Of socialism? Do they real
ize that they are destroying individual
effort?
Such is undoubtedly the fact and
the tendencies of the times The qnes-
tion is, what can be substituted for
trusts? They are here, and growing
in power every day. Individuals are
J being forced into them whether they
desire it or not. Self-preservation is
the fret law of nature. and when men
see that they must surrender or fight,
they will very naturally surrender, il
there is no show to resist successfully.

closes sorry state of affairs. MIR.
Fosters bookkeepers have done their
best to cover up the facts, and in the
statement an attempt is made to con-
ceal the truth. Mr.. Foster has not
acted on his own responsibility, but
has consulted with the President as to
the means to be employed to hide the
deficit. and the subterfuges resorted to
are thoroughly characteristic of the adj
ministration. The statements show
that appropriations for fifty public
buildings have been held up. In
nearly all cases not even the contracts
for the preliminary work have been
let. 1t is impossible to say exactly
what amount has thus been retained
in the treasury, though authorized t.
be disbursed. A modest estimate is

attempt to swell the apparent cash bal.
ance. The Choctaw Indian claim.
