WE BELIEVE the citizens generally
of this city will see the good judgment
of electing w. A. Rush as street com.
missioner. Some objections are made
that he has done work at places where
individuals thought nothing should be
done. Those men should remember
that the street commissioner works
where he is directed by the improve
ment committee of the council, and is
not always responsible. Anyone who
has observed street work here before
will admit that it would be better to
keep one man in the position long
enough TO accomplish some gDs,d.
Consider the whole good OF the whole
city, and do not let personal differ

Train - Twenty-three Passengers
More or Less Injured.
Train No. 2 on the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Memphis was derailed just
west of Williford, Ark. The combination
coach, chair car and sleeper went over
the bank, the combination car going into
Spring River. The chair car and sleeper
were both consumed. One passenger was
fatally injured and twenty-five others
more or less seriously hurt.
The most intense confusion prevailed.
The engineer backed up the front part OF
the train and the work of rescue was i'm
mediately begun. The terror of the pas
sengers who had gone down into the
stream were soon heightened by cries OF
alarm from the chair car and sleeper, both
of which soon took fire. Luckily not a
person was drowned, and it was not long
before all had been accounted for and
were being cared for as well as possible.

Bravery and Youth.

The Chicago Times-Herald tells the
following battle incident:
"a man who had been private in
an Illinois cavalry regiment told an in
cident of the battle of Jonesboro. He
and his comrades had been diSmount-
ed in the edge of thick woods, and dis
mounted cavalry are the hardest of
troops to rout. In front of them was
an open field, quarter of a mile wide,
with woods on its further side. Rein
forced by a half-dozen companies of in
fantry, possibly 1,500 Federals lay per-
crates, not more than ninety men all
told, was ordered to attack. With

to make naval demonstration in Hay
tian waters. The German version Of the
trouble has already been published. Fol-
lowing is the Haytian side: The dispute
arose out of the Imprisonment of Emile
Lueders. Up to short time ago Lueders
was a Haytian citizen, but having been
concerned in various duels, he deemed it
wise to change his nationality and regis
tered his name at the German consulate.
For an assault upon a cab driver. Lue-
ders was sentenced to one months i'm
prisonment. He appealed and the SEN
tence was altered, he being sentenced to
one years seclus;on and a fine of 5OO
francs. A further appeal was pending
when the German minister interfered
without invitation, and, it is claimed,
forced lis way into the private apart
ments of Tiresias Simon Sam, president
of the Haytian republic, an1 in rude and
peremptOry manner demanded the release
of Lueders, apologies and indemnities.
Naturally the president resented the in
suit and firmly but politely referred Count
Schwerin, who is charge d'affaires Of the
German empire at Port au Prince, to the
minister for foreign affairs. The matter
thus came before the diplomatic depart
ments of the governments, and was set

Growing Deficit.

The Dingley tariff law was passed by
the last Congress for the special pur-
pose Of furnishing sufficient revenue
for the needs of the government. 1t
has been in operation now fifteen
weeks, and it has produced in that
short space Of time deficit of $40 ,000,-
OOO. What is worse still, it promises
to continue adding to the national debt
at even an increasing ratio so long as
1t remains on the statute books.
AT the rate of about three millions a
week, the deficit created by this hum
bug revenue raising measure will be
no less than $60,OO0.OOO by the first of
next January, and by the time it will
have been in operation full year this
deficit will have mounted to close on
the two hundred million figure, which
is twice as much as the conservative
opponents of the bill originally pre-
dicted, and which is therefore likely to
be largely exceeded.
Considering the promises made by
the Republicans as to the consequences
to follow the enactment of the Ding
ley bill, the actual result is decidedly
grewsOme. 1t is rs if friend had in
vited you to partake of plenteous din

Patriotic Women Planning to Garry Out
Washington's Project
The oft-agitated question of establish
ing in the city of Washington a great
national university on the lines suggested
by President Washington has taken def
mite form, and a number Of representa-
tive American women have taken hold Of
the project with determination to push
it to successful conclusion if possible.
They have started out in a practical man
ner by seeking to raise the first $25O,OOO
necessary for the erection Of an admins
tration building tc form the nucleus of
the university, and hope to be able to lay
the corner stone Feb. %, 1899. Their
purpose in the interim is to urge the mat
ter continuously on the attention of wom-
en- all over the country. They intend like
wise to interest all the school children in
the work. As first step for awakening
interest in the undertaking they will as
semble in convention in Washington Dec.
IA to decide on ways and means for arous-
ing public sentiment. Many prominent
Eastern ladies are active in the project.

Hints of Recip -ocity,

The London Daily Chronicle in a spe-
cial article on the meaning of the Cana
dian negotiations at Washington reviews
the past commercial relations between
Canada, Great Britain and the United
States and says: Important communica-
tions have passed during the last few
days between Downing street ard OF
tawa, and the cordial reception which the
Canadian ministers are meeting Mt the
hands of the Washington officials and the
American press makes it quite possible
that We are on the eve of most happy
change Of attitude toward one another Of
the three countries" The writer Of the
Daily Chronicles article concludes by in
quiring: rs Canadian reciprocity with
the United States to take the place Of ex-
elusive preferences for Great Britain? 1t
would disappoint many in this country,
but the question must be viewed in the
broad light of Anglo-American relations.
No one will deny that Canada, the Unit
ed States and the mother country have
each far more to gain from closer inter
course than from the present policy Of
commercial and political exclusiveness.

| at one time drifted back to the
war, and stories reminiscent of those
days We're told. Among them was this
related by Tennesseean:
when the news came to Nashville,
in February, 1862, that Fort Donelson
had been surrendered to Grant and
Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston's army,
which had come down from Kentucky
In hurry, had taken up its march
Southward, the fact that the Yankees
were really coming could no longer be
concealed. To one who was not there
at the time it would be difficult to con-
vey an understanding of the confusion
III the popular mind, and the unreason-
able and r1reasOning terror of the ap-
proaching soldiers of the Union. This
Infusion Of mind, Of course, was the
greatest among the ignorant blacks,
who had heard such vigorous and vary
ing epithets hurled at the Yankees that
they did not in the least know what
kind of creature to expect to see.
But they determined to see the Yam
KEGS just the same, AMI at the very earl
lest moment. So it came to pass that
when Buelrs advance guard, the
Fourth Ohio Cavalry, I think, rode
wearily down the Gallatin turnpike on
the way to Nashville, many a dusky
face was seen peering out upon them
from behind fences and other places of
vantage. They came from the farms
on both sides of the pike for miles
around and waited patiently, some
tremblingly, for they knew not what.

was old Aunt Cynthia, who had man.

mile or more between our farm and the
pike. Unlike the proverbial ostrich,
she concealed herself by hiding her
body behind fence and thruSting her
head, which was covered with a fam
ing bandana handkerchief. worn tur-
ban fashion, through an opening.
Cynthia gazed long and in puzzled
silence at the worried men and jaded
horses about whom that day not even
the best disposed eye could have de-
tected any vestige Of the pomp and cir
cumstance OF glorious war. She could
not reconcile what she saw with the
visions she had conjured up in her I'M
tutOred mind. Finally she gave it up,
and, hobbling to the carriage window,
said to my mother: Miss Liza, they
