Topeka, Nov. 2a The state -board of railroad commissioners handed down another important decision which -is of interest to country jobbers, as it may be considered an indication of what the ruling will be in the case of the wholesale grocers against the railroad system. Edward Benn, a Wichita lumber dealer, complained that the Missouri Pacific had refused to receive a car load of lumber from him at jobbers' rates as contemplated in the first Wichita decision made by the board on that point Benn manufactures lumber and buys it from other Aa1ers to sell directly to dealers in car lots. He maintains no yards at Wichita, but reships in the aame cars in which his lumber is received to his customers Most of his stock is manufactured or bought in other states to be sold in Kansas. The car which he effered the Missouri Pacific came from Texas by the St Louis San Francisco and was offered to the Missouri Pacific for reship-ment to Houston, at jobbers' rates The Missouri Pacific declined to receive it claiming that as the car had not been loaded at Wichita it did not come within the jobbers' tariff.

Because Benn maintained no yards at Wichita and did not unload and reload his lumber for reshipment the railroad that he was simply a transitory dealer and not entitled to be classed as a jobber. In presenting its case to the board the railroad pleaded that as the lumber was shipped from another state that it was an inter-state commerce shipment and that the case was consequently outside of the jurisdiction of tho Kansas board. The decision is as follows: "In view of the facts as they appear in the hearing of this case the commission found and decided: "First That the complainant was and is a wholesale dealer or jobber in lumber at the city of Wichita, the place of his residence, and is entitled to the jobbers' rates ordered by this commission in its decision of March 29 and June 7, 1SS9, and referred to in both complaints and answers in this case. "Second That the commodity offered and refused in this case was in character and condition such as was contemplated and entitled to jobbers' rates and the demand of a higher or other rate by the respondent company was in direct contravention of the order and in disregard of the law and authority of the state. "Third That the respondent railroad company is hereby directed to receive and transport at jobbers' rates ail and every commodity which may hereafter be tendered to it by the complainants or others under like circumstances and conditions." as as E3 mS.

Secretary Foster's antipathy for telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, when speaking about our financial condition and regulations, was again manifested in his letter to the recent bankers conven-tion at New Orleans.

In detailing the provisions of the act of July 14, 1890, providing for the purchase of 4,500,001 ounces of silver a month and the pay ment therefor with United States treasury notes, he says: "The notes to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and to be held by any national bank association as part of its lawful reserve." In this statement. Mr. Foster, though using no words that do not appear in the bill itself, is guilty of flagrant falsehood; to prove which we have only to refer to the records, as reform journals have the habit of doing, with serious effect upon the reputation of public servants. Section 2 of the bill in question provides: "And such treasury notes shall be legal tender for all debts, publio S.0LIC1TUDE. ulent They don't care a cent for the workingman when his and the fund-holders' interests conflict.

Their fight against more money is in the interest of the money power at home and abroad. They would take and have taken the laborer by the throat and made him deliver to the plutocracy that which belongs to him and his family. They have laid the iron hand of their systems-upon the tiller of the soil and made a slave of him. They, with their systems, have arrested the business man in his successful pursuit of prosperity and driven him into combines and trusts or into bankruptcy. We have no patience with Sherman, no confidence in him.

He stealthily demonetized silver, and it was his intention to retire and burn up the greenbacks. He fought the law of 1878, which provided against the destruction of the greenbacks, and the act of the same year partially remonetizing silver. Just stop and think for one moment what would have become of the country if the greenback had been retired in 1S79 and no silver had been coined! For God's sake, Ohio people, down John Sherman! Missouri World. and private, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract." That exception, like tho exception on the greenback, was put there for the benefit of the gold speculator. Nearly all the money loaning institutions of the country have accepted the invitation of congress, and are to-day expressly specifying on all their contracts (notes and mortgages) against these notes.

Instead, therefore, of being a step toward the fiaancial independence of tho people from the gold specula tors, the ultimate effect of the bill will be to rivet their chains still tighter. There is no way by which the most oi this money can reach the people except through loans. The notes given to secure these loans will demand gold coin. The borrower, who must hare money, will not be in a condition to refuse, even when he realizes the trap into which he is walking. There can be no hope of the supreme court declaring such contracts void, because against public policy, for the government itself has beforehand provided for and sanctioned such scrim-inatioo.

Only one way of escape will remain in the bands of the people, and that will be to elect a congress that will demonetize gold! Chicago SentinaL Why Reduce It? The politicians tell us that the object of the recent tariff legislation was to reduce the revenues of the government; that the government was collecting through this source more revenue than was needed, and the surplus so collected should bo left in circulation among the people. This is certainly a very proper thing for the government to do leave all the money possible in active circulation. But this same class of poli ticians tell ns that these imports are paid by foreign importers and not by the peo ple of the United States. If that is true. the money derived from these duties is not drawn from the people of this country at alL and hence the diminution of these revennes cannot leave money among our people.

If the money is not paid by our people bnt by foreigners, let it come, the more the better; and il too much, of it accumulates at Wash ington, let it be used in such a way as to diminish, taxation. We wish the politicians would not contradict then- selves so much. ML Vernor UL) Flo-gressive Farmcn A heavy snowstorm visited many parts of the state on the 23d.

Particulars of tho Train Robbery Near St Louis. WORK OF THE DOAMITE GA5G. The Messenger Seriously Injnred Ilia Bold Refusal to Open to tho Desperadoes Passengers In a Terrible St. Lovis, Dec. 2.

A bold and suc cessful train robbery took place on the St Louis San Francisco road at Glendale, ten miles from this city, shortly before 10 o'clock Monday night The robbers had their plans well laid, and they escaped with money and valuables to the amount of $20,000. The Adams Express Co. was the victim, and from the manner in which the robbers did the job it is evident that they in tended to make a clean sweep of the express csr. They used dynamite with fearful effect both on the car and on Messenger J. T.

Mulrennan, who had charge of the car. Six men participated in the robbery. When the train reached Old Orchard it is supposed that four men boarded the express car, two climbing the front platform and two the rear. The other two, it is believed, boarded the train at Glendale. Shortly after the train left Glendale two men silently made their way over the heaps of coal in the tender toward the engine cab.

As soon as they secured a good footing they opened the heavy duck shield which does duty as a door during the cold season, and, placing revolvers at the heads of the engineer and firemaq, one, with a stern voice, said: "Hold up your hands!" When this was done the spokesman sternly said to Engineer Wagner: "Stop the train." The engineer complied with alacrity. As soon as the train came to a stand still the robber chief with great delib eration commanded the engineer and fireman to "turn about face and march off the cab," one of the bandits having gotten down to stand guard at the side of the engine. The next instructions which was given in a methodical manner, were that the engineer and fireman were to march to the express car. In the mean time the express messenger, who had suspected something wrong, had closed and bolted the doors of the car and stood inside ready to defend the prop erty intrusted to his care. But the odds were against him, and the poor fellow now lies in a very dangerous condition and may die.

When the two robbers had piloted the engineer and fireman to the car they placed them under guard and tried first by persuasive means to get Messenger Mulrennen to open the door of the car. But the latter was obdurate. He would sell his life first The chief of the band, seeing that coaxing did no good, commanded his lieutenants to go to work and demolish the door. The new mode of attack, dynamite was employed. A stick of the deadly explosive was placed against the car and the fuse lighted.

In a quarter of a minute a loud "bang" reverberated through the surrounding woods and Dr. Higgins who lived but a short distance from the scene of the robbery, was aroused from his slumbers and thought an earthquake was on. He was undeceived, however, for in half a minute another stick was exploded at the door of the car, and the flying splinters indicated that the dynamite had performed its mission. As soon as the door fell in the robbers entered the car and, taking out the safe, had the door open in a very short time, having used the same means as they had used against the car. They took everything in the safe and also the messenger's gold watch and chain.

The estimates as to the amount secured vary widely. Some place the sum at 20,000 and others at $50,000, while others go as high as 3100,000, but the latter is believed to be exaggerated. While the two robbers were doing the work at the express car the other four bandits kept the rest of the crew and the passengers in a state of terror, a fusillade being kept up all the while. A more reckless set of robbers probably never undertook similar work. Fourteen shots were fired right into the body of the smoking car, and how it was that none of the passengers were wounded by the flying bullets is a mystery.

All that saved the passengers from being hit by the bullets from the robbers' revolvers is the fact that most of them crouched on the floor of the coach and between the seats and remained there until the fusillade was over. Dr. Higgins mentioned above, says that after he heard the explosions he suspected that a robbery was being attempted and feared to venture out He heard some one in his front yard, but cannot say who it was. On the south side of the track, about 150 yards from where the robbery occurred, is a wagon road running through a strip of wood. Along this road the detectives who went to the scene last night found the fresh track of a horse and wagon coming towards St Louis.

The railroad officials believe that one of the robbers is a railroad man, as he is said to have instructed the foreman to not put any more coal in the furnace. The only description of the robbers obtained was of the two that climbed into the engine. One of them a young man, tall, with light complexion and a heavy mustache. The other had a dark complexion and wore dark clothing; he was about five feet six; he had a sinister eye and was very quick in his motions. Both wore light overcoats.

The first reports that the postal ear had been robbed were enoneous aa authentic reports say that only the express car was attacked. Express Messenger Mulrennen was seriously injured in the hip by the dynamite explosion, but be had to be battered into subjection by the butt ends of the revolvers in the hands of the robbers.

For a Ixtan or One-Third of the Value of a Fsrrn Shylock Get the Farm and All Other Property of the Borrower. It does not make any difference, how much lying the republican and democratic papers an 4 politicians do about the mortgage indebtedness of Kansas, how much abuse and calumny is heaped upon the so-called "calamity howlers," the fact still remains that the mortgage mills are still grinding all over the state and hundreds of farmers are still croing to the walL As of how the old thing works how Shylock's grists are turning out, the Topeka Alliance Tribune takes the following extracts from a private letter written by a man at Kingman, to a friend in Ohio, and which was published in an Ohio paper, in which the writer says: "In this county within the last year number of farms have been sold by the sheriff as low as ten dollars per acre and costs, the balance of the loan being left in a personal judgment.

"Out of 12S farms sold by the sheriff since January 1, in this county, after the loan companies secured title to the property, personal judgment of $40,000 is on file in the clerk of the court's office against the unfortunate men who took the loans and lost not only their equity, but are doomed for life to a specter of a personal judgment. I know of one case where on a personal judgment of this kind they sold a man's corn in the crib at eight cents per bushel and took in all his stock, horses and cattle, and sold them for a nominal sum, after getting by law a deed for his land which they sold for more than the loan, thus robbing the farmer of his crop and stock. "Second It is a matter of frequent occurrence for a receiver to be appointed, who takes absolute control of crops and farm when the loan company, or its agent, makes affidavit that thev feel insecure for their loan. This is an ex parte trial and the first thing the tiarmer Knows is some leiiow takes charge of everything. Fourteen re ceivers were appointed by the court here inside of two weeks, just before wheat harvest Another way the crops are taken by the loan company is this, every mortgage has interest coupons attached which are signed by the mortgagee at the same time he signs mortgage proper.

If the mortgage is delinquent in interest, instead of foreclosing principle mortgage, coupon being a note with interest is sued before a justice of the peace, judgment taken aad alevy made upon any thing the mortgagee possesses, that is not exempt by the law of the state.

President Polk's Paper Gives Alllancec es Some Sound, Patriotic Advice. One of the greatest drawbacks to lh alliance is a lack of courage.

Not rtc much of physical courage as moral courage. Have courage to do right Be a man. If you are not satisfied that the alliance is a good thing, that the Ocala platform is right, withdraw from the organization at once. If you are satisfied that it is right, defend it stand by your leaders and your reform papers. Be a man; be a woman.

Work for its success; talk for it; encourage the weak; secure recruits. A dead alliance- man and a dead member of the church are to be despised. If you will not stand by your religion and your honest convictions as a citizen, you are a blot on civilization. Be a man. Don't let the politician with two hundred pounds of stomach and two ounces of brains warp and bias your mind.

Don't let the editor who is the paid tool of monopoly and plutocracy frighten you when he de clares that you are on the wrong track. If you agree with such people and speak through their trumpet you are simply one of them. If your reform ideas do not correspond with theirs in every particular, that ought to be emphatic evidence that you are right When a bad man opposes you, smile and say: "Now I know I am right; I'll stick." The professional politician or the partisan editor may not be a bad man. He tmay have some good stuff about him, but his teaching has been bad; he has been in bad company; he has taught false doctrines so Wig that he can see nothing wrong in it A man can believe a bad thing is right so long that he becomes thoroughly convinced that it is right Hence the world ii worse off for such men having lived in it Don't measure the situatiou by what any man may say. Think it out for yourself.

If your financial condition is all that it ought to be, if yoq are getting good prices for your labor as a farmer, don't complain. But if you are not then kick and howl until you get what you ought to have. Progressive Farmer. Honer Only Represents Value. Attorney-General Akerman, in speak ing of the legal tender act said: We repeat, money is not a substance, but an impression of legal authority a printed legal decree." "The theory of the intrinsic value of money has been abandoned by the best writers and speakers.

Encyclopedia Britannica. "Metallic money, 'while acting aa coin, is identical with paper money, in respect to being destitute of intrinsic value." North British Eeview. "An article is determined to be money by reason of the performance by it of certain functions without regard to its form or substance." Apple-ton's American Encyclopedia. "Metallic money whilst acting as money, is identical with paper money in respect to being destitute of value. Coin, so long aa it circulates for the purpose of buying and selling, loses its intrinsic value.

As commodities gold and silver are capital, but a money they are mere representatives of value." Charles Moran, of France, in his Work on Money.

iu "The shrewd speculator will, on the instant, increase his price and protect storekeeper will mark up his goods; land will nominally advance; but the poor man, who must work to live, is the first one to feel the advance of prices and the loss of purchasing power of his wages, and the last to win an advance in his wages." Extract from John Sherman's Speech at Paulding. O. The above refers to what will happen In the event of the free coinage of silver. It is mere assertion and without foundation in fact Tho truth is, an increase in the money volume carries prosperity to the home of tho-working-man. When there is not a dollar of gold in circulation, in 1S66, when the business of the country was done exclusively with paper money, the laborer was permitted to dip his cup deep and oft into the spring of prosperity.

"Huts became palaces." "The laborer, for the first time in the history of the world, tasted of the luxuries of life." The solicitude of John Sherman and Orover Cleveland for the welfare of the workingman in connection with the proposed free coinage of silver, is fraud- means help for, Foraker, for they cannot consent to the return of Sherman.

Iowa Tribune. GOLD AND SILVER. BUver Was the Standard of Value Until Demonetised By the Gold Bngt. In a recent issue of the Toledo Blade we find this declaration: "Gold is our standard of values, and bas been since the resumption of specie payments." Very true, but silver was our standard of values from the foundation of the government to 1S78, when the gold men secured the demonetization of silver and the change of the standard. If silver is the cheapest metal, as the gold advocates declare, then the standard of Value was increased so that it took more ot every commodity to fill the standard than it did before, thus making every article worth less as with the standard, and reducing the value of the possessions of every property owner and labor producer in the United States except the owners of gold made all the other property owners poorer and the gold owners richer.

And this was done by act of the general government. True government Is founded on ex-act Justice to all its subjects. Here, by the argument of the gold men themselves, a very great injustice was done to a very great majority of the people, and friends of justice and good government most naturally desire that restitution be made; that the original standard be restored, and the values arbitrarily taken from all the property be returned.

Beseoo of Four MenoFrom a Barning- Tsg at Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 80. For over an hour yesterday on Lake Michigan the tug John A. Miller, wrapped in flame, ran wild with full speed in a great circle, while the four men composing the crew bad only deck buckets to fight the fire.

The tug Welcome, after a hard fight with the waves succeeded in steaming close to the blazing vessel and taking aboard the scorched and exhausted seaman: The Welcome caught fire and only prompt measure. averted her destruction. The four men who esoaped from tho Miller were Capt Peter Barry, Engineer James Barry, Fireman Charles Newman and a deck hand. The Welcome was under command of Capt Thomas Barry, a brother of the Miller's captain. The crew of the Miller, though suffering intense pain, enjoyed one satisfaction that of seeing the tug sink without them aboard.

The fire is supposed to have originated in the explosion of a lamp, but it made too rapid progress to permit any Investigation. THE STRIP SOLD. The Cherokee Maid to Have Accepted l.lOin Acre and Privileges. Taih.eq.ua ii, Nov. 30.
