CURRENT COMMEHT
A Heroine of the Sea.

It is understood that one of the du- ties of the five women immigrant in spectors who will be appointed will be to board ships at sea when approach ing the port of New York. The req son for the appointment Of women is that they are needed to put young women. who come over as immigrants, on their guard against the human sharks and decoys who lie in wait for such prey after the girls land. To do that successfully they must come in touch with the girls before they reach the land, and so these new inspectors will have to be taken out to sea on government tug and mount the per pendiCular sides of the ocean liners. often a times when the great ships are rolling in the heavy Atlantic swe!ls. This will try their nerves, and only daring women will venture upon it.
 But there is one lady whose appoint ment is expected who will be equal to the performance. She is Mrs. Annie
 E. Wilson, who is the daughter of q sailor. who was born at sea and mar
 ried sailor. Mrs. Wilson has been wrecked, has once escaped from a
 burning vessel, and on one occasion
 saved her husbands ship. The story
 of the last named adventure has been
 told as follows: When she was. 21
 years of age her husbands vessel, the
 Sharon, was caught in a terrific gale
 off New Foundland. In that crisis her
 husband and the other officers capable
 of command were all disabled by in juries, and Mrs. Wilson took command
 of the ship. stimulated the courage of the crew. and after a three weeks bat tie with the storm brought the Sharon into pert at St. Thomas, Danish West Indies.
 For her heroic conduct in that case
 the British government gave Mrs. Wilson q gold medal and the mer-
 chants of Liverpool presented her with a silver service. Of course other than the qualities of coolness ard heroism
 are required in the office of ;n2migra- tion inspector, but it seems to be taken for granted that Mrs. Wilson has them. ,-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

tice Kent and his associates. Justices Sloan, Davis and Doan. if they cared to remain in office under a state gov ernment would be proud to bear com missions from the people rather than from the appointing power at Washing ton. The American citizen is sover- eign greater than the president him. self, for the citizens name the presi- dent. and all good Americans recognize d commission from the people as the grca test patent of nobility.
 Dwelling so much on the excellent of ficials that Arizona and New Mexico have and have had, the hostile sena- tors have not found time to discuss al length the commercial advantages which would accrue to the territories from admission into the union
 Running through all the speeches against the omnibus bill one of the dominant notes has been a distrust oI the people. and Senator Burnham might well have made that the heading for his speech.

The New Department.

The conference committees of the two houses having agreed at last upon the terms of the bill creating a depart ment of commerce, there are now nine great departments of the federal gov ernment at Washington-or will be when the secretary and staff for the new portfolio have been named
 It is generally assumed that the Hon. George B. Cortelyou, secretary to tile president, will be the first secretary of commerce, and if Mir Cortelyou is named it will please the whole country. His promotions have been strictly for merit. Going to the White House orig inally as stenOgrapher, simply, MT. Cortelyou became in succession, as- sistant secretary, acting secretary, and then secretary, to the president. Pres ident Mckinley held him in the highest esteem, and President Roosevelt has found him indispensable. The office of secretary to the president is one which requires talents of the highest order, and a man who has filled the place ac- ceptably is we'll qualified to be a cabi- net officer.
 The bill as agreed to authorizes the creation of a department of commerce and labor, with a secretary at SS,000, who shall be a member of the cabinet such clerical force as is necessary. Ii is made the province and duty of the department to make, under the direc- tion and control of the secretary oi commerce and labor, diligent lnvestiga- tion into the organization, conduct arJ, management of the business of any corporation, joint stock company ol corporate combination engaged in com merce among the several states an6 with foreign nations, excepting common carriers subject to ''an act to regulat tt commerce." approved February 4, 1887 and to gather such information ant data as will enable the president of tho United States to make recommends tions to congress for legislation for tn, regulation of such commerce and tt report such data to the president iron time to time as he requires, and the in formation so obtained, or as muci thereof as the president may direct shall be made public. The departmen will have and exercise the same powe and authority in respect to corpora tions, joint stock companies and com binations subject to the provisions c the bill as are now conferred by lav on the interstate commerce commission

VII GIVE 10000
Newton Promises Bonds for the North
and South Railroad.

Newton, Kan, May 23.-NeWton has
at last secured definite information on
the North and South railroad PROPOSE
ton. The Commercial club has listened
to statement of the plans of the COM
pany backing the enterprise, has dis
cussed the matter in everv phase, and
has voted to use every legitimate means
to bring the road to Newton.
The meeting last evening was well
attended After the call to order, Z. r.
Wolf of Kansas City was given the
floor to set forth the plans of the rail-
road promoters
Following this presentation of the
.company's plans, there was a general
discussion of the matter hyLthe mem
bers of thu club. At first there was
slight opposition to the plan TO bring
the road to Newton but this melted
away for the most part before the ex-
plantations given by Mr.. Wolf and 9TH
er members of the club. A motion
was finally made and passed that il
should be the sense of the meeting
that Newton should make every en-
deavor to secure the road and that
bonds to the value of SAC, 900 should
be promised. The resolution did not
state the form the bonds should take
whether county, city, or township, OF
all.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
by the members of the club and it is
evident that the matter will be pushed
with vigor and earnestness. President
Glover has called a meeting of the
club for this evening to discuss plans
of carrying on the work decided upon
last evening.

What Pacific steamer facilities VIII
you have for handling goods after they

We already have q contract with
the Ham burg-American line to supply
all the steamers that are necessary,
was the reply. 1.-THE advantage which
we Will possess for the Oriental trade"
said Mr.. Stilwell, is a shorter rail haaf
of 900 miles. which means chea Der
freight rates. The road passes through
wonderfully rich district of Mexico
which abounds in gold, silver and
cODDer mines.
Don't the name 'Topolobampo' sound
familiar asked Mr.. Stilwell. That
was the site of the old BelIamy colony.
which ceased to exist as a colony
twelve years or so ago.
1.-THE colonists of this ideal settle
ment had a hard time of it. For a year
or so they lived on sunfiower seeds and
duck eggs which they found on an is
land near by. After a while the ducks
struck and moved to another island out
of the reach of the colonists. Then they
had nothing but sunf1ower seeds left.
The Mexican government took away as
many Of them as wished to leave But
a few struck and now their land is
worth already about $50 an acre"

evening for New York city, whence he
viii sail for London where he has an
Office in which he spends several

Novel Contest for Location of Santa

An intimation has been given resi-
dents Of Horace and Tribune, in Greeley
county. that the town which can offer
the best supply of gpod water will get
the division on the AtchisOn, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad now at Horace As
a result of this hint the residents OF
both places are operating drilling out
fits night and day to find the water sup
ply. Horace and Tribune are only two
miles apart and there always has been
rivalry between them. Tribune is the
county seat Tribune now has the best
wells in the county and is fighting hard
for the division The officials of the
road are inclined to give Horace all the
time needed to find the necessary water
to enable it to retain the division and
the citizens are working earnestly to
demonstrate that the water is there.
