PRAIRIE FIRES raged in Kausas at a fearful rate on Saturday all day and night. Fifteen persons are reported burned, thousands of heads of stock of all kinds perished in the sea of flames, thousands of tons or hay, corn and wheat have been destroyed and from 100 to 175 houses and barns have been destroyed. The fire started on the South Fork of the Solomon river in Graham county and extends in the direction of Decature.carryingdestruc tion and death in its path. ROBERT E. PATTISON, late governor of Pennsylvania, is one of the mem bers appointed bv President Cleveland on the Pacific Railroad Commissioner The other two members are E. Ellery Anderson, of New York and David Silter, of Illinois. The commissioners are to investigate the affairs of the Pacific Railroads under the act pass ed by the last Congress. The ap pointment of Ex-Gov. Pattison is one that receives the heartiest endorse ment of all men of integrity and good judgement in both parties. Presideut Cleveland simply recognized the ster ling character of Pennsylvania's form er Reform governor. THE Knights of Labor of this state held a convention at Ilarrisburg, which was addressed in a masterly way by their leader, Mr. Powderly. In his remarks he era phatically con demmed the anarchists and called at tention to the sobriety and good be havior of the members of the Knights of Labor organization. Among the important resolutions adopted by the convention is one which sympathizes with the farmer and promises support to legislation in the farmer's interest. The main object of the convention was to discuss pending legislation in reference to labor, which was done in a quiet and orderly way. THE frequency and evident necessi ty of veto messages under President Cleveland's administration is a matter which ha 3 created considerable com ment of late years. An official com pilation of all the veto messages sen t to congress, beginning with the sth of April 1792, shows a total num ber of 245, of which 113 were issued by Cleveland himself, leaving a bal ance of 132 for Cleveland's predecess ors. Another interesting fact which conies to notice is,that of these 132 ve toed bills 28 were passed over the ve toes, while the last congress refused to recognize only two of Cleveland's 113 vetoes. The attempt of Cleveland's political enemies to censure him for the many vetoes has as yet received very little encouragement from the people. On the contrary the country feels sure that the President made such good use of the vetoing power in the interest of the people, and their confidence in his administration is growing daily. RHODE IsLANDDemoerats glory over the sweeping victory gained by thein in last Wednesday's election. And so they can. The state has been strongly republican for many years past and this new turn of tte political face is an important and significant re sult of a long and determined struggle. Every man on the Democratic state ticket was elected by a fair plurality, while the present indications point to a majority in the legislature. John W. Davis, the winning candidate lor governor has an official majority of 937, Ziba 0. Slccum was elected at torney general by 2,518 majority, while J. G. Perry, the democratic can didate for treasurer -will have a ma jority of 2,609. If straws tell which way the wind blows there will be a regular democratic blizzard in 1888, which will scatter the fragments of the Republican party so badly that they will be hard to find for years after. The roosters can't help crowing when they have the ehance. EXPERIENCE is said to be the best teacher. Nevertheless tho English government does not seem to heed its lessons at leatt as far as Ireland is concerned. To restore peace and quiet in that country the English min istry show a decided preference for the old policy, manely coercion, and give the just and better policy of home rule the eold shoulder. To look at the endless chain of coercion laws with which England has burdened Ireland in the past, and then consider that af ter all, these laws had but one tenden cythat of making still greater concessions to Ireland, it seems in conceivable folly in the British state men to continue in their stubborn course. If England hah only to deal with the Irish in Ireland there might be a remote chance of success. Past experience however ought to have taught them, that in this national struggle all the Irish men scattered ov er the whole world take a hand and that coercion will not only increase the embittered feeling in Ireland but n rouse tho genuine sympathy and enthusiasm of the Irish in foreign countries, who in their desire to see their countrymen freed Irom the Eng lishS'okCjWill make the greatest sacrifi ces aiul lend tho most effective help to accomplish this end. Oonviot Labor Froducta. Convicts must he employed. One of tli6 common incentives to crime is i lie loye of idleness and hatred of honest la luir, and labor is the best possible re formatory punishment for most crimin als, besides teaching them habits and methods of industry which may be use ful to tneiu when discharged from pris son. Besides, crime is a heavy tax on the honesty of the land, and convict labor should be made to contribute something to the cost of its support. But there is no necessity for so using convict labor as to destroy,or even seri ously impair any of our productive in dustries. Our penitentiaries should not be converted into great mills ol factories to develope the highest per fection of labor-saying machinery and the greatest cheapness of product. Such use of our prisons is neither just nor practicable. It is not the place to develope the highest mechanical skill, and there is no propriety in the State employing skilful machinists, etc. out side of her prisons, to cheapen the prod uct of convict labor. We regard the protest against the in troduction of the uest perfected ma chinery for the manufacture of mats and matting in the Western Penitenti ary as entirely justfied. It is shown by carefully prepared and reliable data on the subject that if the Legislature shall make the appropriation asked for, and thus convert a large portion of the Western Penitentiary into a great man ufacturing establishment, it would ab solutely destroy every other establish ment of the kind in the country. The fact that the industry is not a large one, is no answer to the objection. Large or small it is a legitimate and well-es tablished productive industry, protected by our tariff laws, which admit the raw material free and impose a duty upon the manufactured article; and there is no reason why it should be destrojed by converting our prisons into mills and factories. Give our convicts work; hard work and pleuty of it, but peni tentiaries are not the places for the de velopment of the best labor-saving ma chinery and the cheapest industrial product.— Philadelphia Times. The State Treasure- ship. HAKBISDURO, April 10.—' The fact that State Treasurer Quay did not re sign on the 4tli of March,when his Sen atorial term began, is accepted as indi cating his purpose not to resign until fall. Congress will not meet until De cember, and lie can continue to serve as Treasurer until that time. It is ex pected that Colonel Gunnison will be Quay's successor. Blaine and Bodwell. A Little Incident Which Proves that Mr. Blaine is Out of Politics. Portland, Me., Special to the New York Times. Nothing which has occurred in Maine for some time has caused so much com ment and criticism as the vetoing of the medical registration bill by Govern or Bodwell. The bill was to prevent quacks and incompetent persons from practicing medicine without passing an examination. The Governor regarded it as a proper bill, si gned it and sent it to the Secretary of State'* office for record. That very night Mr. Blaine had the Governor and Attorney Gener al Baker in his study. "You must veto that medical bill," thundered Mr. Blaine. "Its passage means the loss of 10,000 votes to us. We can't stand that. Every spiritual ist would yote against us. The bill must and shall be vetoed," saidthe dis tinguished son of Maine. "But I have signed it," remarked the subdued Governor. "That makes no difference. A yetoe must be written, taking a constitution al ground against the principles of the measure. Baker will prepare the yetoe message for you. I am too excited to write it myself." That settled it. The Governor's name wag scratched from the bill, the record of his signature wiped out and the vetoe message sent into the Senate. —Peculiar in medicinal merit and and wonderful cures—Hood's Sarsapa rilla.

It is then required that ho bo examined by a United States surgeon, the result of which, together witli his discharge from service, must be tiled with the prothonotary, and at the next sitting of the court thereafter his application wi'l be passed I y the judge.

WASHINGTON, April 11, issT. During the Democratic Administra tion many of tho musty regulations willi which Republican official life had hedged itself in have been overhauled, and Where there was no good reason for their existence,have been discontinued. Thev have not all been relegated to the past however. The rule which closes the Government Department buildings to visitors at two o'clock is still in force, much to the inconvenience of strangers. It is a serious disappointment to vis itors here only for a few days, and try ing to get as much sight-seeing as pos sible into that time, to be shut out at so early an hour from so many places of interest. They feel, and have a right to feel, that in a people's Government the people's convenience ought to be considered a little,ami thai they should be given what pleasure they can got from the corridors, eleva'ors, museums and curiosity rooms of the buildings as long as they are open for business. Speaking of sight-seeing in the De partments, I often think how monoton ous must be the daties of those officials who are delegated to exhibit the ob jects of interest to visitors. But they show wonderful freshness about the time-worn business. There is nothing perfunctory about the man who ex hibits the rogues' gallery, or the piles of counterfeit money, or the secret ser vice room, ami only a person who has a party of friends to escort him there a bout once a year can realize how many times he has told the same tilings over, yet always with at: unfailing brightness of expression and quaintness of humor. Senator Coekrell's investigat ing com mittee (the Senate Select Committee which is now probing the methods of work in tho different ExecutiveDeuart ments of the Government) has under taken a gigantic task, but it wi'l make an elaborate report of its labors some time in the future. The Missouri Sen ator is a very conscientious, pains-tak ing man. and he is giving the public of fices much annoyance ami no little un easiness. lie wants to kumv (you know) and the number of things the public don't know and that Senator Cockrell will have a great deal of trouble in finding out, is autonirihing. The complaint is olten made now that there is too much "red tape," and that the employes of the Government have very few hours to work, and very little work within those hours as com pared witli persons employed in similar capacities by private business concerns. Hut such annoying features are insep arably connected with the theory of Government work. It must be put through by processes as nearly mechaiir ical as possible, so that the death or re moval of a clerk may not throw the en tire office out of gear, and so that the dishonesty of anyone employe will he discovered when the work on which he practiced is turned over to another for the next stage of its progress. All this involves the reduction of business to infinite detail and its dis tribution among a uiuititudo qf ppoule. If Senator Cockrell and his committee can find away of simplifying these pro cesses their discovery will be warmly welcomed. The results of their labor cannot fail to be of value and will cer tainly be of interest, abounding in in formation which, to the general public is now in the nature of a sealed book. The committee is not expected to pass judgement upon the civiJ service law, but incidentally the operations of the law vvi'l come under the purview of the committee, and the latter will he expected to answer such questions as tlie following ; Js the Government any better served—the public business more rapidly expedited, the morals or the methods of the several Departments in any respect tlie gainer—now that what is called the "spoils system" has been done away with ? It is a matter of no small importance. The people are told that the civil service law, in its classified application,is work ing wonders of reform, but they have only hearsay evidence to that effect. They are assured that it is doing away with a great deal of favoritism, relieving the appointing power of much embar rassment, purifying the channels of patronage, and elevating the standard of clerical merit. They are interested in knowing whether civil service re form is really all that its friends olajm, or whether it is a sham and a humbug as its enemies insist. Senator Cock rell's committee, with so good i\\\ op portunity could find out all about it. CHEAPER AND BETTER THAN WALL PAPER.

The revival of trade in the United States and Canada has led to a sub stantial increase in the pioportious of the emigration from Europe. So pro nounced is this that nearly all the At lantic lines have issued notices to their agents to stop booking for the present. The special feature of this position is that numbers of mechanics are going out, especially bricklayers, plasterers and masons, from Scotland, Wales and the northern districts of England, in response to advices from the other side, that good openings are now presenting themselves to craftsmen of that kind. The general prospects of the emigra tion trade art equally brisk. The Ger man lines are understood already fully booked, and a considerable accession to the number ofGermans passing through Liverpool is expected. .Swedes also, .Hid Norwegians are fully to the fore. Altogether the emigration trade of the current season Is ruoie brisk than at any time during the previous seven years, and the prospects point to a long period of activity. Not Yot Identified.
