Kansas City, Mo, August 5.-The Kan sas City branch of the American Young Peoples Christian Temperance union strongly dlsapproves of the ideas of Bishop Potter of New York, with regard to uplifting the moral tone of the sa- loon.

 May God have mercy upon your be- nighted idea of striking the keynote of attack upon the liquor situation. You are rather endorsing the key that opens wide the doors to hell for the army of 100000 souls who annually leave the kings high way and stumble into drunkards' graves. , "rhe present situation across the water of flfty-fve bishops In the Church of England as stockholders Tn brewerles and distilleries with this shameful farce of bishop In the great Episcopal church | in our own land taking a leading part | in the opening exercises of a saloon, clos ing the same by singing the doxology

TotHIGHEsT BIDDER.
MaryIand'st $so, 100000 Interest In Ca
 nal to Be Sold.

Baltimore, August 5.-The board of public works has decided to sell the interests of the state of Maryland amounting to 100000 ,000, in the Cheas- apeake and Ohio canal to the highest bidder The stock It was supposed the state had been holding for many years cannot be found and no evidence has come to light that 1t ever existed.
 Governor Warfield is quoted as say ing that neither the treasurer, comp ltroller nor himself had been able to trace any receipts that they had ever had any interest in the canal, but that there was no doubt as to the legal rights of the commonwealth in the property.
 It is now believed that the states interests are represented in the acts of the assembly, giving the right to build the waterway, and in the passage of appropriations, but these documents are yet to be found.
