A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Hon. C. H. Akers, secretary of the territory and at present acting gov ernor, makes a suggestion that the capitol commission might make a note of and which If cai iried out would please the people of the entire territory and the legislature. He suggests that the commission so ar range for the work on the capital building that the corner stone of that structure may be laid by the legislature at the close of the com ing session, somewhere near the middle of March.-PheniI Herald.
 Commenting on the above our amiable com emporary, which is al ways "f0rninst" anything and every thing emansting from a republican. says:
 Hon. Capitol Heeler Akers, in suggesting this, is paving the way for the laying of another legislative cornerstone in the shape of another unjust appropriation to further aug ment the capitol building steal"
 What particular objection can be raised to a public demonstration ID the matter of laying the corner stone of the capitol building, or what 1t could possibly have towards any steal" we certainly fail to see. The suggestion of Acting Governor Akers is a splendid one, and if possible the capitol commis- sion will no doubt act upon it.

Train No. 3, the fast passenger, a double header, which left Omaha yesterday evening with Engineers Charles Ell and Reese, ran into train No. 2, with Engineer Dell Bonner.

Both trains were on the main track. The engines were badly demolished and tLe entire train of No. 3 destroyed, excepting the mail car and cue sleeper. On No. 2 6 composite car was burned up. En- gineer Bonner was internally in jured and had several ribs broken. Fireman Coleman was killed. There were 320 passengers on No. 3 and all but two, an old man and woman, are accounted for.

Young Lincoln's greatness is reflect ed from the grave of 8 man who split rails for a liviEg and started on the road 10 immortal fame from the door of a log cabin. The dead Lin coin was the simon-pure republican. The live Lincoln Is the up-to date article which grows rankest closest to the largest money bags.-Courler. The above fling at a man whose only faults consist in his being at the head of great corporation, and of being a republican, is in keeping with the policy of the paper pub fishing 1t. Robert T. Lincoln is a man of as spotless character as was his father. As secretary of war be demonstrated also that he is pos sesSed of great ability and should he be selected as president of the United States, as he has been talked of. we believe that he would show a record Of which no American need be ashamed. The attempt to belittle him because he is in a position to ride in a special Pullman car, is very small politics.

KANSAS. FOOL LAW.

Capital punishment has been practically abolished in Kansas. While no law has been enacted 10 that effect the practical working of the law on the subject of capital punishment has resulted in this for several years. A man convicted of murder Tn that state and sentenced to death, under the law is required to be taken to tho peuitentiary aud kept for one year. The execution of the death sentence then awaits the signing of the death warrant by the governor and until this Is done the execution cannot take place. Since the law went into effect every governor of the state has refused to sign any death warrants, the result being that there are now fifty nine convicted murdersrs under sentsn of death, in the state penitentiary. A bill has just been introduced m the legislature of the state compel ling the governor to sign the death warrants of all persons convicted of murder in the first degree. The bill also provides for the putting to death within the period of one year of all conyicts now in the peniten- tiary under death sentence. The number has increased from year 10 year as d result of the present law. The present bill is the result of recent trial and conviction of John Collins on the charge of having murdered bis father, J. B. Collins, a Topeka capitalist, last fall. Cover nor-elect stanley declared he would not sign Collins death warrant. The passage of this bill would com pei him to do so or! resign. Mir. Stanley says he will resign before he will sign the death warrants of con- victed murderers in the peniten- tiary. II will never permit myself to become a murderer, even under the sanction of the law" he declared. The proper thing for the legisla- ture to do would be to repeal the fool law requiring governors to sign the death warrants, and let the courts have entire juris diction as they have in other states. Let a law be enacted providing for those now under sentence of death to be taken back to the respective courts where they were canyicted, resen- fenced and disposed of.

 It is very certain that the majority of dreams are only of momentary duration. though extended occasionally to the length of a minute

How long I stood so I did not know, but it seemed very long time
 "Then tho scene changed was in the country. and my long lost parents came to greet me They sent me to church, where the loud organ sounded was delighted, but At the same time wondered to see my wife and children there The priest mounted the pulpit and preached. but could not under stand what he said for the sound of the organ. which continued to play. took my son by the hand, and with him as- cended the church tower. but again the scene changed Instead of being near my son stood near an early known but long dead officer. I ought to explain that l was an army surgeon during the maneuvers. 1 was wondering why the major should look so young. when quite close to my ears a cannon sounded.
 Terrified. was hurrying of, when woke up and noticed that the supposed cannon shot had it's cause in the opening of the bedroom door. through some one entering.

WHAT ALASKA WANTS.

Washington, Jan. 9-Governor
 Brady, of Alaska, has arrived here to
 urge territorial matters. He is
 anxious for the enactment of the
 Carer bill, which passed the senate
 and Is now in committee in the
 house, making three judicial dis
 tricts :n Alaska. He says that even
 these judicial provisions will be in-
 adequate and there should be greater. appropriations also for ad
 ministratiye purpC ses, pointing out that .he marshal is unable to make arrests on any of the numerous is- lands for lack of funds and trans portatiou facilities. He also wants school appropriations this year rsis- ed to S6O.O00. The governor says many Of tbe people who rushed to the KIondiae region sre coming out, largely because of high taxation. Many thousands of people, be says, already have started for the Aleu- tian islands.
 CRITICAL BUTNOT HOPELESS
 Washington, Jan. 9.-A good deal of reticence is exhibited at the war depart ment relative 10 the state of affairs at lloilo. It IS admitted that General Otis has reported to the de- partment facts that were reported to him in turn by General Miller, but all that eau be gathered as to the nature of the communication is that 1t goes to confirm the press reports as to the attitude of the insurgents. There are excellent reasons why off cials a. the war department should at this stage maintain secrecy as to the governing the move ment of troops in the Philippines. The situation is admitted to be crit ical, but not hopeless by any means, and it is extremely desirable that the danger of rupture shall not | be increased by inAammaiory pub licatious, which publication might | affect the irritable FilipinuS.

The information comes from Phil adelphia that the first plates of forged steel that will form the keel O the new battleship Maine, will be laid at Cramps ship yard soon, and from that moment until the great ships leaves for her post of duty, thous- and hands will rear the structure in plain sight. The United States has made very few mistakes in connec- tion with the war with Spain, but one of them is to build another battle ship to be called the Maine. The battle ship of that name was sunk by the per6dy of the Spanish. Tbe atrocious act was fully avenged by this country, and the only Ameri- ran battleship of that name should be the one which lies in the mud of Havana harbor.

There is no class of men who give away from their means of livelihood
 more freely, reeklessly and incon- sistently than the publishers of newspapers. The publisher is a merchant with goods to sell. His stock in trade is his advertising space. He should not be expected to give 1t away any more than a landlord should give his houses free of rent or the grocer donate his goods to anyone who asks for them, yet many people who would not ask the gift of pound of salt from a grocer or yard of ribbon from a dry goods dealer, asks the publisher to give away space cheerfully.-Phe- nix Herald.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an indamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets infamed, you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition or the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

WILL LOSE HIS JOB.

Havana, Jan. 0-Senor Fernadez de Castro, civil governor of Havana
 acts as though he had his former
 powers. He has ordered the public hospital closed. Ludlow, military
 governor or the district of Havana
 who has not been consulted in the
 matter, was displeased when he heard Of the action and directed that the hospital be re-opened. D. Castro ordered ths newspapers last week not to print certain business adver- tisemeuts which were distasteful to him. They did not do so. General Ludlow will probably remove the civil governor.
 BREEDING TROUBLE.
 Paris, Jan. 5.-An official dispatch received here from the Philippine junta dated Manila, Jan. 4th, says that Aguinaldo has gone to Iloilo at the request of the insurgents there to place himself at their head with a view of their fighting with Americans. The dispatch also gives list of members of the new Filip- ino cabinet, with facts as to their antecedents. The cabinet is de- scribed as homogeneous,every mem Der pledged according to these ad- vices, to resist the military occupa- tion of the Philippines. A member of the Filipino junta here explains that Aguinaldo did not run away but left Manila for the mountainous region behind Cavite in order to make secret arrangements for his voyage to Iloilo. The Filipino who furnished this information also cate gorically and specifically asserts that the latest telegraphic advices declare that if the Americans insist upon the occupation of the principal cities by the American troops all of the Philippines will resist by force of arms.
