THE Chronicle" Sheriff Toffey's per-

terday:-
can organization known as the A. P. A.
has gained a very strong foothold in Hud-
son county. 1t is nothing more or less
han a conspiracy, and should be dis
c-ountenanced by all just and right think
ing persons. The Constitution of the
United States guarantees to every citizen
the right to worship as his, or her, con-
science dictates. The A. p; A. deliberately
runs counter to this, and by underhand
means does its utmost to stir up sectional
strife. The continuance in existence or
such an organization is a menace 10 that
liberty which Americans so dearly prize.
All this is very true, and if the "Chroni-
cle'' published it in good faith it deserves
praise for doing so. But there is something
very queer about the business.
Why should the .ChronicleH select this
time to stir up the question? 1t is queer
Republican politics, unless there is a sly
strategem behind it.
Frankly, it looks to us very like a blind
to divert attention from an alliance be-
tween the G.. O.. P. machin n the A.

Of course the utterance was not without

Freight Train Overwhelmed by an Ava

Road.
RENO, Pa, Jan. 7.-Snowslides COW
ering 5 miles. few miles west of Lock-
haven, on the Philadelphia & Erie
railroad, blocked traffic yesterday.
While a freight train east bound was
running along the base of the snow
capped Alleghenies with the ice-bound
Susquehanna below it was suddenly
submerged by an avalanche of dry,
sleety snow between Richie and
Hyner The train was covered
almost its entire length. Crews
from the east and west to the number
of several trainmen came to the rescue
and worked the train through the snow
slide and for distance of miles.
Meanwhile the Erie mail train, with a
large number of passengers, lay at this
place eight hours. The mail train ran
the gauntlet and scraped the white
wall, which pressed threateningly
against either side, almost crushing
them. The train was in imminent
danger of being engulfed or hurled
down the bank into the river. Hun
dreds of men were standing ready to
rush to engulfed trains last night as the
danger was great.

Secretary Gresham Submits a Plan for Pub
fishing Valuable Historical Manuscripts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. T. Secretary
Gresham has submitted to congress a
general plan for publishing the valua-
BILE historical manuscripts of revolu-
tionary days now in the archives of the
state department. The recommended
ton was called out by provision of the
last sundry civil appropriation bill, call
ing for a report from the secretary of
state. Mr.. Gresham refers to the great
value of the manuscripts, embodying
the collections of Washington, Frank
lin, jefferson. Madison and Hamilton,
as well as the journals of the CONT
mental congress. 1t is pointed out that
the papers are liable to serious injury
and DETACHMENT, owing to the constant
perusal of them by students and
writers. The secretary recommends
their publication, in set of so volumes,
at a cost of 100000 for the first edition
of 1000 volumes. He suggests, how
ever, that the work should be done
gradually on an appropriation of S35,-
600 annually and under the supervision
of a competent editor and staff.

MISSOURI FINANCES.
Points from Gov. stones Message to the
LeeisIature-The Decrease of the Bonded

Points from Gov stones Message to the
Legislature-The Decrease of the Bonded
Debt.
JEFFERSON Guy, No., Jan. Gov.
Stones message to the senate and
house of representatives of the Thirty
eighth general assembly of Missouri was
laid before that body yesterday after
noon. The revenues of the state are
first considered by the governor, show
ing that during the two years of 1894
the revenue fund amounted to 81, O34,-
6s1, and the total appropriations of the
Thirty-seventh general assembly were
"a. O25, S34, of which 81, 227, 900 was for
the maintenance OF the public school
system. The estimates for the next two
years show an increase of S151, $50. The
governor recommends an increase of
$4,000 to the state militia, making a
total of $50, 900; to the board of geology
and mines. an increase of 50. 600; appro-
priation of $1,000 to pay the state mine
inspector, and an increase of $50, 700 to
the state eleemosynary institutions. In
the list of extraordinary expenses"
has been included the sum of S2S0.6O
to the state eleemOsynary institutions,
the total of these expenses being S42s,-
600. After all the appropriations are
paid there will be balance in the gen.
eral revenue fund of SIG. $40. An in
crease of the general revenues of the
state is therefore considered desirable.
Reference is made to the redemption
of $500, 900 of bonds on the LIST inst.
and for the biennial period of 1856,
the total receipts into the interest fund
will aggregate S2.O6O.OOO. Of this it is
estimated that SsS9, $50 will be required
to pay interest accruing during that
period. That will leave a balance of
sl,17O,O 45 to be transferred to the sink
ing fund and made available for the
payment of bonds.
The bonded Indebtedness of the state
is referred to and the prophecy made
that in five years the state will be free
from bonded debt.
