In discussing the outlook Represen- tative John Wesley Gaines of Ten nessee regards Lieutenant-Governor Chanler of New York as the most available candidate whom the demo. cratS can nominate for the presidency. "Chanler is a clean, strong, growing man of great influence with an in creasing host of strong and intiuen- tial young democrats ready to follow him" said Mir Gaines, and he added, 'it will be the young men who will win the democratic victory. Chanler has shown the finest of running qualities. With Lieutenant c overnor Chanler on the ticket I believe we would have a brilliant aggressive and victorious campaign. All democrats must admire and commend the way in which Lieutenant-Governor Chanler has upheld the administration in time ly reform measures which the New York democrats endorsed in prn- ciple, in their state convention. served In the house with Louis Chan ler's brother, William Astor, a brave, chivalrous gentleman and a modest, sterling democrat. Although very rich man, Louis Chanler has shown himself to be devoid of anything whatever of the arlstocrat or the plu- tocrat. X plain, unassumIng man, he is a constant, earnest. aggressive democrat, one who cah be trusted from one end of the country to the other. It is refreshing to see demo- crats turning his way, especially the younger democrats of whom he Is the finest type"

NEW TOWN TO BAR WHITES.

 Colored Institute.

A city exclusively for negroes is tc be built in West Virginia if the plans of the projectors do not miscarry. Partially intended as a solution of the race problems the promoters of the black city believe their project will meet with instant favor among the colored people of West Virginia. and they expect within a years time to have a city of several thousand per- sons. without a white person among it's population
 Eight miles from Charleston, the state capital. is the West Virginia cOlored institute. an institution for the higher education of the coIored people, maintained by the state. For mer state tax commissioner c. W. Dillon. of Fayette county. has pur- chased some 500 acres immediate ly adjoining the colored institute property. He is having it cut nm into city property. grading streets. laying cement sidewalks putting in electric lights and sewerage, and fs constructing a large city park.

 The conductor looked encouraged | and reached for the bell rope like drowning man, etc. A wild medley of squeals and shrieks came from the two sets up in front and doz- en hands waved frantically at the now bewildered conductor. His glance sought the alley again and lighted on a girl of about years who sprinted up to the car as though she were running the last lap in a relay race. The conductor leaped from the car and gesticulated wildly.
 Come on, Louisa" he shouted; {; flor the love of Mike, how many more are there?"
 Louisa joined her anxious family on the front seat, and the car went ahead. Two minutes later the fol- lowing conversation took place near the front of the car:
 Fares, please"
 Mater gingerly forked over a nick el. The conductor scanned it curi- ously, then he growled at the mother of the family, and said, "how old is your largest child, madam?"
 Eight years" was the reply.
 Well, six years is the age limiI. |"
 But never paid for her before, !" protested the matron.
 Madam, you have no kick com- ing" answered the conductor.

 The country will not be especially benefited by this Atlantic rate war, inasmuch as it may result in bringing more undesirable citizens. Some of the newcomers in recent years have been pretty poor property and a lowering of rates may induce more of them to take the trip.-Utica Post.

 The "perils" that men like Mccall discover on every side, to the amaze ment of the whole sane and reason ably alert population, would make the inventor of Don QuiXote green with envy.

A Popular Error,


Brother Frederick of the Montezuma
Journal, in last weeks issue of his
paper calls attention to the fact that
the 25th Of December is not Christ's :
birthday, as many suppose. Probably
many who read this article felt as
Thomas Hood did when lie wrote this
beautiful verse:
remember, l remember,
The fir-trees dark aud high:
used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
IL was n childish ignorance,
But now tits little joy
To know I'm farther off from heaven
Than when | was boy.
Few people spend much time think
ing about the exact date of our Savior's
birth and fewer still question the cele-
brating of a pagan holiday as Christmas.
1t is enough that the way of salvation
has been made complete by the birth,
life, death and resurrection of Jesus,
aud that this wonderful gift from the
God of Love be brought TO our remeni-
brance once year by little gifts given
to and received from Others at Christ
mas time.

Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Dec. 81.
Owing to the fact that last week was
holiday week RECEIPTS of cattle were
extremely light at all points. Demand
on this market was very good--in fact
rather better than was expected-and
prices advanced 10 to 25 cents. Beef
stuff was especially wanted but few
steers OH hand. Several lunches Of
choice pulp-fed cows from northern
Colorado sold at So. 25 to So. .55 and fancy
Wyoming grass cows brought $3.85 to
$3.50. Fair to good killing cows sold
at $3.50 to $3.35 and medium to CONF
mon from $500 all the way down to
1.75. Very few feeders and stockes
arrived. Country buyers were scarce
but dealers had place for all the de-
sirable steers offered and could have
used more. Good steers advanced 10
to 20 cents and even the common kinds
sold to better advantage, although the
advance was not so large. Today's re-
ceipts were light. Demand good and
prices steady to strong. Choice north
ern Colorado pulp-fed steers sold at
$4 40 to S.. 90 and cows at SO. 90 to S3 so.
The local market is In fine shape and
dealers look for good inquiry for all
desirable cattle this week. = w. n.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 1.-TWO white
men, a negro train porter and about
thirty Mexican laborers lost their lives
and 55 persons were injured when
passenger trains 25 and 80 on Rock Is
land railroad collided head on four
miles west of Volland, Kansas, at $40
O'Clock this morning. The trains met
on sharp curve with fearful impact.
Adding to the horror of the collision,
fire from the lamps in the cars and
locomotives was communicated to the
splintered wreckage and spread rapid
ly, consuming five of the forward cars
Of No. 90, west bound, and burning
number of passengers. All but three
Of those who perished are thought to
have been Mexican laborers, on their
way from Columbus Junction, Ohio,
to Mexico. The officials of the COM
pany place the blame on John Lyns,
the 19-year-old telegraph operator at
Volland, who failed to stop 20 at bis
station after receiving orders to hold it
there until No, 80 had passed. Lyns
is being held by the authorities at
Alma fSr Investigation. The exact
number of dead will probably never
be known, as the bodies of a number
OF Mexicans were completely destroyed
by the flames and the charred bodies
crushed TO ashes by the removal Of the
wreckage.
