frelcVof a freight train Thursday on the Santa Fe railroad just east of Carrollton, demolished three ears, killed two tramps and badly injured another. This is the fourth accident near the same place on tbat road, and the Democrat says tbat there has been bad work in making the grade. Ohillicothe and Its Environs- Hon. G. H- Mansur in Horton- Last while in Chillicothe, the Republican Convention ourned the Tribune force, a whole- soled, jolly set of fellows, ordered ut three fine barouches and placed hem at the disposal of the members the Second Congressional District 'res? Association, and their friends, or the purpose of visiting the nutn- rous places of interest in and around he city.

In the route we drove around the Milwaukee yards and of- ices which showed up well from the iyer-head bridge. We then went to be electric light plant and took a at the intricate dispenser of manufactured light, and from there the water tower which looms up in the sir to a height of 165 feet, and coking at it makes one feel uneasy "or fear it might lose its equilibrium and tumble over. But it has been standing there for a number of years and, according to Col. Hitt, it has never yet tumbled to the racket. We then drove to the power-house of the water-works (some two miles and a lalf from town) and found the ponderous machinery in fine condition.

The power house is located on the bank of Grand while there rbe engineer started the engines for us and opened two jets into the reservoir, one an eight inch stream and the other, two inches. The latter threw a spray of water about 40 feet in the air with a beautiful effect making a brief rainbow in the air. We then returned to the city and visited the Industrial School for twirls and were kindly shown through the building by the matron and found everything in excellent condition- As is a state institution, it is kept after the manner of all such places. At present there are but nine inmates and the youngest did no appear to i)e over eight years of age, and the oldest about sixteen. The building is beautifully located and the grounds are well kept.

We then drove to the Normal School building, which is an institution tbat the people of Chillicothe are very proud of, and they may well be, for it is certainly a fine structure and an ornament to the city. We were kindly received by Professor Moore and his lady and were shown through the various departments. The whole building is built with a view to: convenience and comfort, and if we mistake under the management of Prof. Moore, it will be a grand success. Owing to the latenesBS of the hour we then drove back to the hotel, with the recollection of a pleasant time, and with many, thanks to the Tribune office corps for their kinkness to us.

Chillicothe is a good town and its citizens are enterprising and loyal to their city, as they should Marcelme Journal. DIED- Tuesday the people of Horton. and the many farmers and others having come in to attend the Democratic Congressional Convention were favored with an able address on the vital issues of the day by Hon. C. H.

Mansur, tive in Congress of the 2d Missouri District. Mansur was completely worn out when he came: here, for two hours he interested a large audience at the High Street Theatre with an able discussion of the vital issue of the day. He showed with actual figurers bow under the present system of unjust taxation by Republican rule, the state of Missouri alone pays enough into the U. S. treasury annually to pay the federal expenses of all the states west of the Missis sippi river.

He portrayed in a concise manner how the laborer, farmer and poor man in the West is tax- burdened beyond measure, while the millionaire and money baron of the East sits down in his mansion with an income of from 8100.000 to $10,000,000 per year, on which the D. S. government receives no revenue. The man who is best able to pay does not pay. Mr.

Mansur also the farmer how his every product is sold on a free trade market while everything he buys is taxed on an average of 47 1-2 per cent. The silver question was also taken up and discused at length and all felt well repaid for having given a short space of time to the hearing of such interesting topics ably discussed (Kan), Commercial. Scared Democracy. The Democrats of Missouri haye not been so badly scared in 20 years as they are to-day. This is a very bad thing for the Democrats, but glorious thing for the sidr Springs Times.

The very worst set of men yon ever came in contact with are scared Democrats. Under such conditions they can never be overtaken in a political contest by the lame and halt Republicans. It takes a regular hummer to keep np with a Demos crat when he is scared. Base no hopes of Republican success in Missouri upon the fact that the Democracy is scared. It is the worst sign that could present Conservator.

Col. J. T. Johnson has returned from St. Joe feeling as happy as a lark.

Miss Bertha Ritter leaves to-morrow for St. Souis to attend the Exposition. F. C. Billings, the piano tuner, is in the city, and is stopping at the Leeper House.

Mrs. P. Sailor is as being eome better to-day, though she is in a critical condition jet. Mr. Abbott the great horse buyer, is here for a few days and will make thing warm for the horse dealers.

Mrs. J. W. Patton and children returned to-day from Carrollton, after a weeks visit to relatives there. An investigation of the United States commissioner of pensions baa been called, on the charge that he has been selling reJrigerator stock to clerks in his department.

Do his cruel enemies hope thus to freeze out the commissioner? Prof. Allen Moore will for Stanberry to-morrow. He will return Sunday. J. E.

The railroad company whose tracks run through their principal thoroughfare desired to put gates at the crossings to protect the ShamoMnites. But the city council would not have it.

Such gates would interfere with business and detain citizens, they decided. And now a ShamoMn young lady has been run over and killed at a crossing. Ought the council or the railroad to pay the funeral expenses? Lord Sackville, British minister that was, seems to have a singular genius for putting his foot in it. After getting himself recalled to England for criticis- ing American politics too freely in the celebrated Mtirchison letter, he now goes and says that the citizens of Stratford-on-Avon shall pajr him water rent for the supply furnished to the Shakespeare fountain our own George W. Childs presented to that city.

His lordship owns the market place in which the fountain was erected. Let us hope this story is not true. If it is, Sackville West will live to be deadly ashamed of himself, unless he has the hide of a rhinoceros. If he insists on his water rent, doubtless Mr. Childs himself will pay it, he having far too much tact to bestow a gift that is an expense to the recipient.

Ihe Blaine Speech. The Boston Herald (Independent Democratic) makes a lengthy comment on Secretary Elaine's speech at Waterville. It affirms that his propositions for reciprocity with South American countries caused a cold wave to sweep over certain Republican senators, representatives and cabinet members in Washington, and they immediately set themselves to devise a method of circumventing the reciprocity plan without seeming directly to antagonize it. The Herald remarks: But while all this Is going on Mr. Blaino goes down Into Maine to make his speech.

No man can read that speech without seeing that its entire end and object is to come out more flatfooted than ever for his empowering reciprocity scheme. The speech is a short one, and its reference to the election Is almost purely perfunctory. But itis In direct antagonism to the course his party -In congress is likely tc take. That party has already reported two bills for the restriction of foreign trade. But here comes Mr.

Blaine to say that "the United States has reached the point when one of its highest duties is to enlarge the area of its foreign trade." If this be not diametrical antagonism we beg to ask what is. Mr. Blame's speech at Waterville has little or nothing to do with the present Maine election Itis almost purely a personal pronuncia- mento. It elaborates the point that Mr. Blaine had already made against the policy of his own party on the tariff question.

Its beginning and its ending are substantially here. Special Free-for-All Trot- On Friday, Oct. 3d, 1890, during the progress of the North Missouri Fair, at Chillicothe, Missouri, a special citizens purse for 8600.00 is offered for a Free-for All Trot, mile heats, 3 in 5, divided in three moneys, 60, 30 and 10 per cent.

"The Recent English Impress on American Life" is the subject of a paper in Belf ord's Magazine by James W. Gerard. It was quite the style to be English before the Revolution, Mr. Gerard tells us. The colonial governors were men of rank and culture, and they brought with them people of their own kind.

The loyal Americans imitated them in dress and manner fully as slavishly as the fashionable New Yorker or Bostonian now imitates them. The Revolution brought a change. The colonies became intensely hostile to everything English. To say that a man was like an Englishman was to render him unpopular. We imitated 'the French, with whom our sympathies were wholly.

In the years immediately following the Revolution Americans were too busy making np for the financial losses entailed by the war to care for anything beyond money getting. Mr. Gerard calls this period the dark ages of the United States. It was during these years that Mrs. Trollope visited us and wrote: Writers in the United States have little encour- aeement to exercise their powers In any more dignifled than becoming the editor of a magazine or newspaper.

general taste Is decidedly bad; this Is obvious not only from the mass of slipslop poured forth by the dally and weekly press, but from the inflated tone of eulogy to which their insect authors are lauded. And when Harriet Martineau came to us in 1830 she mentions that at a party one evening the lion of the hour was a tall, thin person, with a cock nose and a squint eye, who had made $100,000 by a single speculation in tallow. But the invention of the steamship changed our social life again. Travel became cheap. Americans and English mingled freely once more.

Americans discovered onca more how admirable were the ways and the spirit of old England, and for the second time feU to imitating the mother country with all their might. Mr. Gerard says: Through steam navigation English thought and science have spread their wings, and stimulated intellectual action and progress on ofth. water English journalistic, periodical and light a favorite literary pabulum, le a model for imitation here.
