A few weeks ago the eyes of the world were oa Soudan, a week cr two later on Tonqnin, bat the gaze Is row shifted oa Afghanistan. In Them&9 County, Kansas, a paper has just been started with a title suggestive ot fca:k-yard walls, nlht Bhirts in windows, Hying boot jscks and music that makes savage the gentlest breast. The.' new journal is called the Thomas Car. Thk Yesear graduates are getting up musical entertainment for- their new gymnasium, noticing which the Dallas Herald ieniari3 that if they would get cp some gymnastic performances for a musical conservatory they would perhaps draw better. Should England go to war with Russia it 5s hoped no Irishman will volunteer his services. But there will be a feeliag of satisfaction among tho liberty-loving if all the Princes, Count., Dnkea, and Lords of both Umpires shall plunge into the fight and in the yery front of the ranks. Tins year the Republicans will carry the State of Sew York. Thb is about a certain as any event rm be that is not alreaJy history. Indianit po lis Journal. Just so! That ia what you said last year, liaviewicg your record as a prophet we are glad you cliim New York for tha Repubiicars. A "poeick," makes a contribution to a Texas paper, entitled "My Girl and I a Fishing," a coupietof which reada; Fbe sat down tj the ripplin? utreanr', A nd I laid down and tuck a dream. "We hope she wcke him. We would like to see her answer: , You bet that b!oke did f -juirm and holler. When he felt an tel lnila his collar. A movement Is oa foot at Louisville by the Pederal and Confederate soldiers to haye a xaeeting on next Monday night General Oram's birthday anniversary for expressing sympathy for the cid commander in his nHUction. But then if the General continues to improve until then as rapidly as within the last few days, we suggest that congratulations should be added to sympathy. Asxou;cxme5t is made by the World's Exposition (Nev Orleans) that Sunday admissions will hereafter be twenty-five cents, instead of the half dollar charged heretofore, and that the machinery department will be run an hour later of afternoons. Another feature established for the remaining weeks cf the Exposition year is a series of open air concerts at evening by the Mexican band. Tue Chicago Times of last Sunday was a wbale in a newspaper sense. It contained twenty-eight paces, or 10G columns, or over Zi'-.Q feet lineal measure, column width, cf -printed matter. The publishers claim that it was cue of the largest papers ever printed ia the country, and that the total length o! reading and advertising matter in it exceeded that of any other paper by about thirty-two feet. All advertisements In the 8unday Times are inSorted upon the distinct guarantee that the regular, bona fide, paid circulation of the tiun4ay Times is greater than that of any other paper published on Sunday in tills city or in Indian without any exception. From the editorial paje of the Tines. "When the Times collector comes around to collect that portion ot its advertising not classed as "free" ths patrons, foreign and loca', of that paper who have given it such business on the baii s of the above "ditiad yti"r ,'-;f,r," will be justified ia refusing payment, as it is a fact end a matter of easy proof that the term.the "iKsV'nct 'j-itnt?t" it f ike. It would be liber 1 in these victimizrd patrons to consent to pay on a basis ot scaling down the bill two third?, gauged by the lyicg boast cf 1140 circulation and Ies3 than cue-third its known circulation in fact, The following eecsible words front a Rspublican paper we commend to the consideration of the bloody sliiit organs of the "West generally. The Albany Express (Rep.) rays: 'In some quarters considerable fault has been found with President Cleveland because he has appointed a number of Southerners, and amocg them several ex-Confed-ratea, to positions of trust and emolumeat The Express is in no sense an exponent of President Cleveland's policy. Itcpposedhiä election, tirm'y belieying that the country would be bsn eff under Republican rule. Put the President is entitled to fair treatment, and so are the men cf the South, who contributed to rxaUrially to his election. General Grant, when he was Fesident, appointed rr.any Southern men to office, including some who had served as Generals in the Confederate army cr as members of the Confederate Congress. Mr. Hayes did the sama thing. So, a0, we believe, did President ArUiur. Mr. Cleveland ought no, to bd

blamid for doing in this matter the time things that his Republican predecessors did. Acdit he makes mora appointments from that section of the country than were made by Grant or Hayn or Arthur, the reason la obvious. He owes more to tho South than the other gentlemen did and debts of hoacr ought always to be paid."

A DEFENSELESS defense. By persistent effort we have smokod the Times out cf its attitude of silence. Like the criminal at the bar, after being 83 thoroughly trapped in the meshes cf its own f&Lehood, it bad but two sources left, either to plead "guilty" or ,4not guilty' In aa evaeive way it has chosen the latter alternative. The Times started out through its columns and by correspondence to foreign advertisers fairly "claiming the earth" thai it tad the largest Sunday circulation, placing its isiue at over 11,000, and other claims as to its weekly equally as ridiculous and false. After we have woven around it fftcts that prove it a mcst rracekss and recklees liar, and by "damnable iteration" in ! each Issue with cumulative evidence, it was forced to at last break silence yesterday morning and make a most lame and impotent defense. For, a3 Pope says, "He who tells a lie 13 not sensible how great a task he undertakes, for he Is forced to invent twenty more to maintain that one." Its defeuse J on tha line cf that of criminals whose first bas:3 i3 swept away and a cbange cf front is attempted. It now absndors the first claim of the largest Sundsy circulation and rays it has the largest combined daily and Sunday circulation, but It is very careful now not to state that either Is anywhere near 11.0CO, but explains that the 11.210 figures apply to one day only, Sunday, April r. "While this changes th3 crisinsl proposition very materially we knew the latter to be as untruthfal a statement es the first. "We believe it to be susceptible of proof that Ü3 entire Sunday edition cf the rth inst. contained but fifteen bundles, of paper, including the two eightpage supplementsand its outside fold of eight psges. "We get this from truthful persons whose word has never been put in jeopardy by such reckless statements as havo been recently made by the Times publishers. The issue between the Sentinel and Times is plain enough, and can not be obscured by any side issue of bluff or change of pleading. The latter claims through its columns and by correspondence that its Sunday circulation was over 14,100. We ray it is two-thirds less than that amount, Tho const from its presi contradicts its a3erticn; the paper bills likewise; its refusal to make affidavit is very ominous; the pcstil department of weights contradicts its claim as to 12, CC0 weekly circulation; and on their face all its claims are dishonest and unreasonable. But it asks a 'mutual inspection of the booVa." What would a "mutual Inspection of tha (Tirr.es) bocks" amount to? If tha man who has the bocks in charge would pabliah through his papsr and by bu5ln23 correspondence unblushing falsehoods In the effort to obtain busines?, would these books he offers in proof contain anything but fabrication enough to apparently sustain his falsehoods? Would a crimlcal that has been surrounded by a net work of proof cf guilt be allowed to fabricate evidence ia any such manner as this guileless writer proposes? We appeal to the press. That did not lie last Sunday morning, and can not be manipulated to lie in its behalf. The 6tory the press told was for the second edition, 3,GT." papers. Add the 1,000, a too liberal estimate for the first addition, and we have a total of 1,075 parcrs for the entire edition. The ridiculous claims and absurd antics of this fool paper during the past few weeSs has been the standing joke among Indianspoils newspaper men. A FOOL AND HIS FOLLY. The Times' slur of yesterday to except the Sentinel from a proposed charity was an unfortunate suggestion coming from that source. If there is an object of charity this side of the Marion County Poor Farm it is this roor, tired, hungry jade, called the Times. It looks on the prosperity of its cotemporaries with an anxious and voracious stare. Its past appeala for money from widows, ciphans aiid relatives; its wronged partners, its paper bill creditors who wore euch an anxious Icok for months, its financial struggles of the past year when it was ccaxing the Democrats to buy it, or sending mestergers to the Journal with proposition8 of consolidation, its numerous reorganiza tiors and financial sakeshifts to keep afloat are eo generally knoirn that any pruJeat wiiter would exercise caution and not invite an attack in its weakest and most vulnerable parts. This is a degree of folly we did not count upon. Colosfl McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, hss betn in "Washington recently, and he is giving seme practical ideas of the exact eitcaticn cf ofiice-hu n ting and oiliccceekisg natters. He esjs that while many DeLcccrals complain because there are not prompt removals cf Federal officers who have abuted tbfir cfUcIal positions as partlsars, they are forgetful that there ar no charges or formal complaints before the President cr Cabinet officers against the officials whose rexoval is demanded. Taere is giowlicg btcansa the President does not remote oUtcsive officials in Philadelphia, but there is not as jet a charge or a complaint cn file in Washington against one ot them, and the law absolutely forbids their removal except for cauas. Colonel McCluro itya that there arc oyer 3 CCO cilices now made vacant by resignations and death?, and there has not been tirse enough to till them; that the President end Cabinet officers have arduous duti63 in the great work ot starting an administration that is to mark a departure in political history, and they have not been able, even working night and day, to keep up with the vicancies which have occurred. He concludes as follows: "I saw the Presi-

dent bard at work at his desk: at 10 o'clock at sight, with one Cabinet c&icer just dismissed asd ac other in waiting; and that is a fair sample of bow the administration is workiog to get the parly under way. Congressmen and others come and take up his time complaining about officials and demanding removals, but they fail to furnish any tangible record that would even excus? removals under the law. A Cabinet e:li car told me that there were not recommendations or names oa file in the departments for half the cSlces now vacant. Politicians talk about the necessity of party appointment, and do no, even have names offered when a new appointment is a necessity. I give these hints to the blustering politicians, who are c'amoring for the shoes of Republican placemen. Removal! will be mada for came as fast as it can ba done, but tha causa must be responsibly presented, and it must be a reasonable cause."

A r.KLicioN after the spirit of bloody shirt Republican politics would admit no eouI to Heaven that had ever sinned. It would close and keep closed the church door against any who had sver disagreed with tns church management. It wculd inncriba hate and intolerance first in its articles of faith. Ultra Republican partisanship is to day the one reminder ia cur country cf tha inhumanity and persecutions cf the dark ages. Thoogh the War of Ssccszi on has been ended thes twenty years, the Republican leaders will not be placated. They are virulent against those who were officers in the Confederate armies as if the latter wera still ia arm?. And jet these Republican leaders whether speakers or writers nine out of ten, were rot to patriotic in the war tim?, nor did they hate the rebels eo badly as to face them in buttle. They were fall as invis'.bls in war as they are invincible in peace. The real heroes of the Union are to-day extending hands of fellowship to the Icng outstretched hands of their Southern brothers. It is the Blaines, the Dawes, ths Hoars, who were never heard cf fighting for the restoration of tho Union, that are now and have been fighting against the re-cementiDg the gallant soldiery of the North fought for. They are a pusillanimous lot. There is cause for rejoicing that the country has come to estimate them at their real value, and has retired them from the dictation of its affairs. Wfiy we have a! Min'stcr to Persia at all nee Ja explanation. Itiseaid tbere are American mnfciODRia the Empire to te protected, aal toe services of a MiuUtcr are needed to shield them from persecution and other outrages. This beinq the case, the Minister must be supported!, it being the busmen of the Government to do wcat it cau to propapate the tJospel and convert the heatht n. Otherwise thcie is no rafoa why tno United Ktetes should hflTü a Minister to tha court of the ah. Commercial Gazette. Tie i niled States has no more uee for a Minister in Teheran than it would have for oue at Ldy Franklin Pay or on one or the moons of Jupiter. Chicago Tribune. These two Republican organs do not see any nee for a Minister to Persia, of course not. If Blaine had been elected tha qasstioa would never have been raised. Perhaps some other mlssicr.s might be dispensed with cow th3t the Republican party is oat of a job. Tho Persian mission was created only in recent years by Republicans, and tbey are responsible for whatever is wrong or right about it. By the way, if it is only needed to protect "missionaries," why not send Jim Blaine over? This would doubtless coatlnue the tl u rdii7e now said to exist between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blaine, and as a missionary protector we doubt not that the latter would prove a distinguished success. Jim could "propagat3 the Gospel," and "convert the heathen," too, if pushed to it. Scmf people indulge largely and sometimes Uippantly in big figures. Millions sometimes billions even do not seem to limit their imaginations. Do they reliect what a billion means. We note in aa exchange that Sir Henry Bessemer, of EDgland, has been calculating what a billion means that is, a million millions? He reckons that a billion seconds have not elapsad since ths world began, as they would reckon 31.G37 yean, 17 day?, 22 hours, 40 minutes, 5 second?. A chain of a billion soereigns would pass T.vJ times around the globe, or ljing side by side, each in contact with its neighbor, would form around the earth a golden zone 20 feet G iccbcB wide. This eazno chain, weie it stretched out straight, would, make a line a fraction over 18.328,155 miles ia extent. For measuring height, Sjr Henry ehese for unit a sheet of paper of about three hundred and thirty-third of an Inch in thicknts'. A billien of these thin sheet?, pressed out liat and piled vertically upon each ether, would at 'sin the altitude of 47 31S mile?. Henry F. Riel, cf New York, is a Republican. Captain Brackett, a Republican Treasory Agent at the Custom-house, was p'scsd on trial Monday, charged with receiving a j ;,0C0 bribe to undervalue certain importttatiens. Riel gave as a reason for not qualifying as a jurcr in the care that he could not be impartial because predisposed to believe public officials, and particularly Nav York Custom-home officials, dishonest. Riel, of course, refers to Republican officials, and none others only they have been in ths Custom-house. cde Hit latger than that o! Ray otter mornins pa per ia JDu ana. ana fqujuioiDai ot tn?

Fearful Devastation Uansed by the Water spout or Cload-lJarat. Wic hita, Kan., April 22. A special to the Daily Eagle, dated yesterday at Medi:ine Lodge, recounts the fearful results cf the water-spout or cloud-burst, which seems to have Leen the same that niled the Ninnercah to overflowing. The special says that the water rolled down over the low lands east of Medicine Lodgi Citv five to twelve feet per pendicular, carrying everything in its way. Several families are known to have b?ea drowned. Yesterday morning, parties who had gone out to give relief, found men, wo men and children clinging to trees with nothing but their night clothes to protect them, and some without any clothing whatever, but still alive. Their cries could be heard as early as 1 o clock in tha morning above the racing waters. Three attempts were maue to rescue parties beyond the river, but each boat in turn was swamped, and the occupants only saved theaiselvej by swimming to tho shore.- Five bodies had been rescued up to tha hour of writing tho dispatch, which was sent over to the first railroad point by mail, when another bady was ia s'ght, but could not be reached. There were eight movers' wagons camping in the bottoms, and ose old mannas recognized the bodies of three of his family, his wife and two children, five and seven years of age. James Gibbs and his daughter and nieca were washed away with their home. A tlrs. Harris and her little girl of eleven years old were found drowned. G. W. Paddock and family, consisting of a wife and four chil dren, are thought to be all drowned. Frank Shippler put his wifo end child on the roof, and his home went down.

Lodge, Ka3., special gives the following addiiioral particulsrj of the disastrous riood there: The town is situated between the .Mtdicine River and Elm Creek. Early Tufsdy morning the flood came down the streerrs quickly, overflowing their bottom ISEdsto a depth of about ten feet. In the Elm Creek bottom a dczsn houses were en tirely destroyed, and many ef the occupants drowned or saved only by clinging to the brarc s of tree. In camps in the bottom v.ere ten or fifteen emigrant wegor.s filled with families, and net half of tnese persors have yet been found. North of here entire faruilif were drowned. All of yeidt-rday and last night the streams were so fc'gh mat no commnaic&tion cculd he Led with tue east, aid t day the first dispatcher were sent out. The stores m town were closed yesterday, ana evtry citizen engaged in the work ot menirg people by means of boats and rafts from their per:lox:s positions in tree sn oa hocsfttcrs. This work wa? extremely hazardous, and by nightfall there were still eoire ifo'aled prbor.ers. Tr peop!? oa Mid. cite River bottoms hfid earlier warning and all scared with their !hv, thou:.- x !:;:- drn;j cf cattle were drowned and ;;ra. fieHs of crop ruined. Hundred? o4 d---ul animals also line the banks of E;m C,lc. Thn rite started at dark oa Monday nibt and the rain poured steadily for etx hours, which was followed by a great cloud bant north of the town. Among those known to ba lost are the following: G. Maddox, wife aad four children,

the bodies of ths wife aad three of the children were recovered; Jerry Gibbs anddaagh ter, Mrs. Harris and daughter, the bodies of the latter were recovered. The wife and four children of Samuel Maddox, the bodies of the woman and two o! tho children recovered. Four wagons containing "movers" have not been heard from, and it is thought all the occupants have perished. Nonets has yet keen received from the country belaw here, but it is feared there has beea very serlcu3 less of life. The Town Council epeedily organized relief measures, aad et veral thousand dollars have already been subscribed. The bodies thus far recovered will b? buried this afternoon. The District Court hss adjourned aud th9 conrt-rt om has been turned into a mor.Tue. San City and Lake City, situated we?; of this place, were inundated, but the damage is ntt serious. The city of Kim Mills was also ileoded, but with no less of lifo.

2IAXYVELL AT MX FRAXCISCO. Ilia Identity fM LVA.ugnlr I lied Iteyond the l'oiilmty of a Doubt. San Francisco. CaL, April 21. Ca? t. J. 7. Lees ard Detective CoETrey nave bC2n working on the Maxwell case for several days for fresh clews aod to-night they gave tha reporters many facts which throw light oa the actioHS of iiaxwell during the two devs he spent in this city. It was found by the detective tbat he did not spend the nigkt in his bed in the hotel room. After going to the theater he went out to one of the larg?st houses of the demi-mondes. There ha met the ihl and spent the night with her. She tells a clear story of his actions ard appearance. She says he kyt up his broken French for some time. He talked incessantly, and gave plain evi-. deuce of having drank a good deal. After a time ehe wanted to go out of the room to get eorcethiag fo cat. He refused to go. So ebo proposed that he look over her album. In tnrniDg over the pictures ha came across Henry Irvicg, when he dropped his FrenchEnglish and said plainly: "That' e Irving," and turning the page, "That's Ellen Terry." "Oh," said his companion, 4you're a pretty Frenchman to know them." He then repumcd his jargon, and said: "Yz, I'm French zhentleman, but Iknowze Eaglish actor?." When she came back to the rooai she was startled to find him sitting upon ths edge of the bed with a Urge s.iz3 i pistol in his hand. So9 cried out, "My God, you wouldn't kill me." He said excitedly, "If you'd been a man I would have killed you." He was intensely excited, and to'.d her a lot cf stories of exploits in the ItussoTnrkish war, in which he Ehst and cut the throats of many Russians. He wanted to talk all the.time. He talked of the murders ho had committed. In one of his bursts of drunken confidence Le said: "I've laid away one man m the Wet." 8he raoalls this instance distinctly. The woman give s an excellent description of Mxwell. Khe says there was no question he was K:igli h. He was semi-blonde, with a baby face, Jar.?o ncEe, email light colored mustache aud imperial, no side whiskers. He showed her a watch chain, with alternate links of gold and platinum each an inch long. He aln showed her a diamond ring which he baucht in St. Lnuis. The ring had an o!d-fsh5oaed setting, the stone bein;; in claws, but these weie sunk much lower than the present fashion. The gild was dark colored aad the stone was between half and three-quart3r3 carat. He said he had tidtea the rins frra the finger of a dear friend after he was dai. The watch and chain is supposed to riae besa l'reller's. The enrioc3 thin;; fibo.it it ia tbat no one in this city fw it but th's worcan. lie also wore a ecrf-pin of g)id in the fcrm ol spiral wir. Tue woman nlso eaid he bad a jageed, three-cornera i Eoar under hi$ chin. He talked, etc paid, ell night, and OEce told her he was g3icg to Auckland, and proposed she should go with him. He said if she agreed it would ba recessary to go into the cauntry for weeks. Captain Lee found, at a jeweler's on Market etreet, an open-faced silver watch which Maxwell carried on the train. He had traded it for a new watch, psying several dollars difference. This watch has many curious marks on it, which may ba valuable clews. On the outer case and works ara No. 3,202. The watch had been cleaned a number of times and bore private marks of jewelers. On the cap which covers the works is plainly scratched H. M. Brooks in the identical handwriting on the railroad ticket bought by Maxwell at St. Louis. Captain Lee thinks this Is Maxwell's real name; under it is No. W2. The watch which Mexwoll traded for this is a silver watch, engine-turned eis, made by Springfield (111.) Watch Company, stemwinder. The locksmith who fitted the keys to Maxwell's bagca?e says he had aa English drab leather Gladstone "bag, English leather hat box containing an opera hat, and a large t;unk, ."ix'Jö inches, with light drab canvas cover. The trunk had four elats cn the top, with No. 2 patent bolt3 about ten inc'nes on each side of the Iocs; common fonr-ir ch plate brass lock. The trunk was bought in St. Louis and is tho match of ths trunk :n which Preller's body was found. The only baggage to which Maxwell had a key wes an ordinary gray canvas satchel. This mess of evidence fixes the identity ot Maxwell and D'Auguier without question and the watch and chain may b9 one of the rocst important clews to fix the murder oa Maxwell.
