LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 17-Three
men were killed, 16 or more injured
and several buildings demolished by
tho explosion of 25 pounds of dynamite
at New Holland, Pa, this morning.
The Pennsylvania Telephone Com
pany, which is building new line
had stored the explosive in the sum-
mer kitchen of the Eagle hotel. Early
this morning Charles F. Cannon went
to the kitchen to get out enough dy-
Mantle for the days use. A few mo-
ments later there was terrible ex-
plosion.
Cannon was blown to atoms. Frank
Hammond, of Harrisburg, just outside
the building, had every bone in his
body broken and was instantly killed.
George Crossman, of Steelton, water
boy, was 80 badly injured that he soon
died.
Other buildings close to the summer
kitchen were badly wrecked. The
damage will amount 20 large sum.
The cause of the explosion Is unknown.

Peculiar Poison Contracted by Cattle
Inspector.
VrNcENNEs, Ind, Aug. 17-Last
week Michael Caney inspected herd
of Texas ponies, from which he con-
tracted anthrax. or malignant pustules
and 10 hours later was at the point of
death. The doctors burnt out the af-
flicted part with carbolic acid as the
only means of saving his life. An an
thrax mi robe had been carried from
one of the ponies TO slightly abraded
cheek, whereby he was inocculated
with the disease.
Anthrax is cattle disease, but can
be contracted by other animals by in
oculation only. Cauey's recovery is
doubtful. The disease is very rare,
only one other case ever having been
known here, and that was rs years ago,
and the patient WAS dead in 2l hours

Uncle Jerry Rusk, on page 8, Agri-
cultural Report Of 1890, states, as Sec-
rotary of Agriculture, the effect that
the enhancement in value in silver bull
lion following the passage Of the Sher-
man act had upon the price Of American
wheat:
"The recent legislation looking to the
restoration of the bimetallic standard
Of our currency, and the consequent
enhancement of the value Of silver, has
unquestionably had much to do with
the recent advance in the price Of cereals.
The same cause has advanced the price
of wheat in Russia and India, and in
the same degree reduced their power Of
competition. English gold was formerly
exchanged for cheap silver, and wheat
purchased with the cheaper metal was
sold in Great Britain for gold. Much OF
this advantage is lost by the appreciation
Of silver in those countries. It is rea-
sonable, therefore, toexpect much higher
prices for wheat than have been received
IN recent years"

Topeka, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 2, 1896.

Republican paper Of the State, owned by
one OF the prominent citizens Of the
community and an active worker In
church circles, would prostitute its
columns by publishing such an unmiti
gated falsehood, when it must know
that every intelligent person who reads
it is aware Of the fact that no deficiency
can be paid out Of a regular appropriation,
but must be met by a special act Of the
Legislature, and the further fact that
the redeemer board was in charge Of
affairs three months before the COM
mencement of the present fiscal year;
but they started out soon after the
Inauguration in January, 1893, to bolster
up the present administration by a
systematic course of lying, and they
have persistently adhered to the pro-
gram,
Reference is made to the clock.work
manner in which everything moves
along in the institutions. The writer
who penned those lines must have had
in his mind the case Of the unfortunate
victim, Gus Mauer Of Ellis county,
who, while only an inmate Of the To
peka Asylum for the short space Of
seven weeks, received in that time two
black eyes, many bruises, a broken nose,
and finally dislocation Of his neck; his
body was sent to his former home, and
DR.. Eastman wrote the sorrowing widow
that her husband had died OF apoplexy.
Or maybe the bruised and battered
body Of j. I. Dodd Of Jewell county
appeared before bis vision, the inmate
who was murdered by an attendant and
his death certified to as having occurred
as the result Of heart failure. But
why recall these ghastly scenes that
have happened with clock-work reg
ularity ever since the present board
took charge? 1t is a sad commentary on
the assertion made that these un-
fortunate inmates are better cared for
than ever before, unless it is on the
theory that when dead they are relieved
Of their sufferings.

and follows with a lengthy article eu-
logizing Governor Morrill, for the wis
dom displayed in his selection of the
board and paying them high compli-
ment for the remarkable showing they
have made. We admit that it is re-
msrkable indeea-remRrkable for it's
absolute untruthfulness, falsity and
gross perVersion of the actual facts, the
evident object being to mislead the
people and impress them with the idea
that the present outfit is practicing
economy in the conduct of the public
affairs entrusted to their keeping, when,
if the truth were known, they are the
most proAigate and incompetent gang
that ever infested the State House.
Let us compare this wonderful rec
ord" with that Of former years.
For 1893 the total appropriation for
the eight institutions under the control
of the Board Of Charities was $382, ,522,
and the total expenditures $342, ,769 SO,
leaving an unexpended balance Of $780,
752O1.
For 1S94-totsl appropriation, $780,
747.53; total expenditures, $34l, ,2l0.&;
unexpended balance, $39,5373O.
For 1895 no published report has been
made, and we are unable to give the
figures. But for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1896, is where the remarkable
showing" comes in, and we request our
readers to remember that the redsemers
were in full control during this time,
and the figures showing the result Of
their stewardship speak for themselves.
Here they are: Total appropriations
$435, ATT, being $54, ,996. Al in excess o. the
appropriation for 1894, the year the
Populists had charge. Assuming that
the figures furnished by the Capital are
correct, and that the unexpended balance
is $7l,44450, and subtract this amount
from the total appropriation and we
have an expenditure for the year Of
S964,OS2.5O, sum (s22, ,S22.2O NEARLY
TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND DOL
LARS greater than was expended in
1894 by the Populist board; and when
we reach the bedrock Of truth in the
matter, this remarkable showing" is in
favor Of the Populist board to the extent
ofnearly $4,000 in one year. Comment
is unnecessary.
The Capital makes the statement
that "When the present board took
charge Of affairs there were deficiencies
at almost every institution in the State
and that large sums Of money had to be
paid out Of the appropriations for 1896
96 to meet these deficiencies" 1t is
simply astonishing that the leading

THE TROUBLE IN CRETE.

Now that the troubles in Armenia
have ceased for time to distract the
mind of the Sultan and the Powers,
the inhabitants of the island of Crete
are indulging in a rumpus that is
keeping the Sultan busy and the Pow
ers as we'll Although the rebellion is
the result of troubles between the
Christians and the Mohammedans, the
Christians in this instance are in a far
better position to protect themselves
and resent prosecution than the poor
Armen who have time and again
been ground down under the ruthless
heel of their ruler. The conditions in
Crete are reviewed by German paper
as follows:
In Crete nearly the whole popula-
ton, the 10000 Christians as well as
the 10000 Mohammedans, are of Greek
descent. The Mohammedans are the
descendants of Greek renegades,, and
therefore perhaps all the more fanatic
The people of Crete, unlike those OF
other Turkish provinces, have some
constitutional rights, and since the in
PRODUCTION of suffrage they are very
ardent politicians. To be governor OF
Crete is no sinecure. If the Sultan's
representative endeavors to be on good
terms with the Christians, he makes
enemies of Moslems and of the gen.
eral commanding the Turkish troops
and is accused of treason at the Yildiz
Kiosk. If he favors the Moslems, the
christians oppose him continually in
the assemblies. The Cretensian colo
ony at Athens is always ready to foster
rebellion, and guerilla warfare rare
ly ceases altogether on the island"

OPEN MEETINGS NOW.

We have been informed that what
ever the past has been, in the future
the meetings of the Bureau of Educa-
ton will be open to the representatives
of the press, except in cases where the
discussion runs into the vein of the
personality of teachers. This is as it
should be, and will undoubtedly lead to
a renewed interest in the progress of
the common schools. So far as the per-
sonality of teachers is concerned, it is
well enough to let the matter rest with
in the confines of the members of the
Bureau, yet there are instances, we be-
lieve, in which the cold facts regarding
teachers should be brought to public
attention. An instance in point is that
of one Breckenridge, who some time
since left the country to seek more
gullible people, which, by the way, he
found The facts concerning this mans
career were disagreeable facts which
honest minded men hesitate to place be-
fore the public. At the same time it is
an open question whether those having
the power to expose the whole truth
are fulfilling their duty in covering VI
the mans true character. Such persons
merit all the condemnation that the
public can bring to bear, and particu
larly is this true when sufficient conf
dence has been placed in them to place
in their charge the training of childish
minds. We are pleased to state tina
such instances are an exceptional ex
ception among the teachers of Hawaii
yet similar cases are nat impossible il
the best regulated school system tina
was ever instituted. AS a rule, the pub
lie is too quick to condemn, but this i
due rather to the vague rumors thai
to a clear statement of facts.

mosphere, but it is doubtful If the world
would ever have heard from her as it
has. had it not been that in her early
married life she was in measure fore
ed to make use of her accomplishments
to bring more money into the family
treasury. Her husband was scholarly
gentleman, but not possessed of the
ability of gaining and keeping money.
Mrs. Stowe was compelled to feed and
clothe her children, and while conduct
ing private school added to the family
income by contributing articles to va
rious periodicals.
While connected with a school in
Ohio she became acquainted with some
of the horrors of-slaveFy, and when she
moved to Brunswick, Maine, where
she was removed from the excitement
of the border life, she began the story
that made her name famous. Here, too,
possibly, she received her inspiration
to write, since she was thrown among
people who did not fully realize the
terrible incidents that were of every
day occurrence in the South. Uncle
Toms Cabin" was first published as a
serial story in 1851 and 50, but attract
ed very little attention A publishing
bonco tban took tho story, in bond oDd
before the opening of the civil war
thousands of volumes had been sold.
To the publisher it was a book that
met the demand resulting from the
anti-slavery excitement. To Harriet
Beecher Stowe it was the enunciation
of the principles of the abolitionists,
about which she wove an interest
ing combination of incidents of
which she had personal knowl-
edge. She wrote for purpose and she
threw herself heart and soul into the
work which she hoped might have
some influence in redressing the wrongs
that were being perpetrated in the
slave States.
Mrs. Stowe has written other works,
notably the Minister'S Wooing," pub
lished in 1859, which from literary
standpoint have outranked her first
production, but in none of them did she
reach the force that marked the first
plea to the humanity of the people of
her nation. If there were more literary
productions of the present day written
with the same earnest desire to uplift
and enlighten humanity, the world
would be better and the literature more
pure.

to the scene of the troubles has been
due not so much to the desire to re-
store peace in the island as it is to the
fact that the foreign powers are sus-
picious of each other England, France
and Russia are each fearful that an
attempt Vill be made to annex the
island, and each nation has its war
ships on hand to see that the other
makes no move in that direction. In
this respect the situation is not unlike
that in Armenia. Each is anxious to
gain possession of the territory, and
careful watch is kept over the move
ments of the warships Meanwhile
the inhabitants go on fighting.
AS is usual when an uprising takes
place Greece is in hopes the island will
fall under her protection The people
of Greece hold about the same position
toward the insurgents that Americans
do to the fighting, Cubans The people
and the press urge that Greece send
warships, but the Powers have noti-
fled Greece that her warships are not
wanted. Thus the little fellow is forced
away by the big one. Notwithstanding
this, however, the Grecians have open
ed subscriptions to supply arms and
ammunition to the insurgents of Crete
The immediate result will probably
be that the insurgents will be Gained
down, reforms promised and the
promise never carried out. The ulti-
mate result will be that the Powers
will soon get tired of the mismanage-
ment of the Turks and will divide up
the Turkish territory. Whether they
can agree among themselves upon the
division is the question. The nations
fear war, but if war is ever excusable,
a war that would wipe out Turkish
rule could be placed in that category
