The St. James Plaindealer has the
following to say in regard to news
papers. We believe the Plaindealer
has an erroneous idea in regard to the
comparative virtues of country and
city papers. We believe the great
ma sses are represented through the
country rather than the city press.
The Plaindearer argues thus:
We are beginning to lose all pa
thence with those papers that are con-
tinually arrogating to themselves
virtues they do not possess. The
most offensive of these, to our mind,
are the journals that have lately fall
len into the mistaken idea that the
country papers are the only papers
that defend the common people. To
them the city dailies are but the tools
of grasping and merciless trusts, mo.
nopolies and corporations. This is
entirely erroneous. Many of these
powerful dailies," as they are gen
orally termed, have as hard time to
make both ends meet as some of their
more humble country papers. Most
of them denounce corporate greed
with telling effect, and nearly all of
them are honest in the principles they
set forth. Their influence in state and
national affairs holds corruption in
check, which would no doubt other.
wise be rampant. As to VIVA iportion
of our population constit,l 6 the So
called common people, OPT l. Is may
differ. We believe the indu,, GUS and
thrifty form as large port.;i of that
body as the ragtag and hriftless.
We do, not believe the | ,tr class
have the destiny of this rep ic any
more at heart than the form The
Plaindealer is at all times champion
of the common people," but above
all things it desires to be fair and i'm
partial, hence this protest against ii
growing fad on the part of some of
our country contemporaries to de-
nounce everybody and everything
that sayors Of prosperity. |

IT Is A FLOATING ISLAND.
Wichita, Kan, Said to Pc Built on .
Subterrone2n Lake.

Wichita, Kan. Said to Pc Built on .
Subterranean Lake.
WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 4.-The singu-
lar discovery has leen made that the
city of Wichita is built above a subter-
ranean lake. A prospect well is being
drilled at the expense Of the city for the
purpose of ascertaining the nature Of the
geological formation beneath the town,
and to find out whether coal, oil or gas
is within reach. 10 the surprise Of all,
except few old citizens who have
for years entertained the pet theory
that Wichita was built upon What
they were pleased to term floating
island, it was found that underneath
the city is sheet of water 80 feet in
depth. The striking Of this great body
of water at the point selected by the
committee for making the investigation
is no accident. This is the third well
sunk in Sedgwick county that has re-
vealed this condition. The drill, after
reaching the bottom of the lake, struck
a stratum of blue clay of such firm con-
sistency as to render it impossible for
water to flow through it. The flow Of
water, when the lake was struck,
was so strong that it was impossible
for the pumps to have the least
effect. Water tight tubing has been
put down through the lake and buried
firmly In the clay. This completely
shuts OFT the great flow Of water, and
the contractor will make rapid progress
from this time on The well will go
down to depth of $500 feet if nothing
of valuable nature is found this side
of that distance. Biologists connected
with several Eastern colleges are watch
ing the progress Of the investigation
with interest. +

BONDING OF PUBLIC OFFICERS.

Some Curious Features which Treasury
Department Would Like Re1nedied.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Some Of the
making interesting discoveries in the
method of bonding public officers. It is
found that 100000 officers are under
bond to the government, the amount
involved being more than 10000, 900.
Most of these officers, 100000 in num-
Der. are postmasters. There are 215
under the treasury department.. There
IRE 26l under the war Department., 29S
in the navy, 500 iii the interior depart
rnent and 800 nnder other departments.
They Handle Big sums.
One of the curiosities Of the law is
that no army engineer officer is under
bond. The eight army surgeons have
bonds amounting to $3.50, 0fO, while the
engineer officers, who handle millions
for rixer and harbor work, deal directly
with contractors and make disburse-
ments without giving the government
any security. 1t is likely that all effort
will be made by Secretary Carlisle to
place engineer officers under bond. The
eight surgeons do not in one year dis
burse the sum equal to that paid out for
river and harbor work by the engineer
officer stationed at such place as Bos-
ten, New York or Philadelphia.
Think Engineers Arc Honest.
The army officers who are stationed
at military schools and who are respon-
sible for second hand guns give bonds
amounting to more than 81, 900, 900. The
disbursing clerk in the navy depart
ment, through whose hands pass the
vast sums paid out for armor, warships
and gun forgings, furnishes bond of
but $4,000. The head of the govern
ment hospital for the insane near Wash
ington, who has the disbursing Of an
annual sum for supplies for the patients.
furnishes $4,000. The 81 army quarter
masters who handle funds give bonds
amounting to $l,50O,000, while the en-
gineer officers in the same service, who
handle sums greatly in excess of that
disbursed by the quartermasters, give
no bond at all. It is not known just
why this neglect has continued for 50
many years. Fortunately there have
been few failures among engineer Of
ficers to properly account for public
funds.
= Another Curiou, Feature.
Another curious feature is the lack of
ample provision for the regular examin.
alton of bonds to determine whether the
amount is sufficient or the sureties solv-
ent, except in one instance, that of the
paymasters of the army, the law re-
curing that they be renewed cac!, four
years or oftener, by order Of the rres;-
dent.
Many of the bonds on fl b.L ,
in force from 10 to Is years.. -
even longer, without any ev4.o'.
hny examination has ever been 1.s n
them or any attention paid 10 the q.
ton Of security.
The department is in favor of disc VI
tinuing personal bonds and substituting
therefor the bonds of trust companies
organized to do this character of bust
ness, of which there are several very re-
liable and prosperous concerns in the
leading cities. The substitution is said
to result in the annual saving to the
government Of about $4,000.

Statement to the Public Il
Which a Big Strike Is \,
Hlnted Al. ~
Are Opposed to That Method, but
1t Is Preferable to
Slavery. a

ST. PAUL, Nov. 4.-Ih0 American HALL
way union committee which has been
in the city for the last few days seeking
an interview with President Hill, Of tbs
Great Northern railway, has left with
out having seen Mr.. Hill. Before leav-
ing the committee prepared statement
to the public. It purports to explain
what the committee came to St. Paul
for, and also to give copies of the letters
said to have passed between the COM
mittee and the officers of the road. The
committee threatens or rather promises
another strike on the Great Northern o.
soon as the result of the visit to st.
Paul has been known to the several
unions. -
Former Agreement Violated. 4
In their statement to the public the
committee begins with the signing Of
the agreement between President Hill
of the Great Northern and Eugene Debs
of the A. R. U. at the end Of the strike
of 1894. Every article Of the agree.
ment, the men say, has been grossly
violated by the company through its
officers, from president down. EN-.
ployes have been discharged without
cause, wages reduced, hours length
ened and all kinds Of abuse heaped
upon them. To Offset this delegate
convention was held at Devils Lake, N.
D., Oct. to ii last. This conven-
ton investigated the condition of
the employees and drew up schedule
covering wages and condition of en-
ployment as called for in the contract
with the company. a committee was
also appointed to call on President Hill
and present the schedule.
They Hint at q Strike.
The committee then gees Oh to say
that they came to St. Paul as instructed
by the convention, but President Hill
absolutely refused to see them.
The correspondence between the com
mittee and the Great Northern com.
pany is given in full, the company's
part of it being confined mainly to a
refusal to see the committee on the
ground that some of them are not en-
ployes, but officers Of the A. r. u.
The statement then concludes as fol-
lows: r.
1.-THE people of this country need not
be surprised to see the Great Northern
system tied up tighter than drum
from st. Paul to the coast and remain
so until President Hill signs the docu-
ments which the men have prepared,
and, and which are nothing more than
the fulfillment Of the agreement made
in May, 1894, by President J. J. Hill for
the Great Northern system and Presi-
ident Eugene V. Debs, for the Ameri'
can Railway union. Our men are op-
posed to strikes, but it is the only
means they have for protection against
wrong and imposition, and Mr.. Hill has
left them nothing else to do, unless they
want to accept slavery"
