The bad effect of the telegraphers' strike
is still felt by the telegraph companies
and the operators in a marked degree.
The strike taught many people that the
mails answer their purposes just as well
as the telegraph. The consequence is that
the volume of business is not near so large
as it was before the strike. The falling
off in business will prevent a good many
ol the operators from getting positions.
The absence of the President and all the

State governments, and yet State lines
and State “ soverignty,” are grievous
obstacles standing in the way of “ pro
gressive” Republicanism.
A heavy deficit in the Post Office De
partment is predicted this year on account
of the reduction in letter ]iostage. There
is no occasion for alarm: the surplus tlie
last fiscal year was two and a half mil
lions of dollars, which was a million more
than the previous year. Before the law
making the reduction was passed a very
careful estimate was made and the con
clusion reached that the receipts would
admit of the reduction. The surplus may
lie wiped out—hut then there is no need
yf a surplus.
Municipal Reform.
A subject that is beginning to attract a
! good deal of attention is municipal rc
i torm. The debts ot cities are becoming
so enormous, and the burden so heavy to
bear, that a way to prevent an increase of
indebtedness is being earnestly sought.
Two remarkable articles treating of dif
ferent branches ot this subject have lately
appeared in two of the leading periodicals
I of the country. One was by ex-Mayor
] Grace, of New York, and dealt with the
government of cities in the State of New
York. It appeared in the last numlier ot
Harper's Magazine. He pointed out that
in that State the cities were not gov
erned by the people of the muni
cipalities, but by commissions
created by the Legislature. To this kind
of government be attributed many of the
evils with which the cities of New York
are afflicted. The other article was writ
ten by Congressman Jptan A. Kasson, of
luwa, and was published in the last num
l**-r of the Xorth American Review. Mr.
Kasson has evidently given the subject
of municipal reform very careful
study, and as he is a man of
ability and enjoys a wide reputation as a
legislator, his views are entitled to, and
will no doubt receive, marked attention.
Mr.Kasson takes the last census and shows
that the debts of cities in each state in
the North and West are far greater than
the debt of the state. For instance, in
New York, tiie State debt, comjiared to
the debts of the cities in that state,
is ass to 217; in Missouri, as
j s to 2 s !; in lowa, as 0 is
to 4. and so on through the whole
list of -tates. But putting the facts in
another shape* Of the combined state and
municipal debts in the New England
Mates, the towns, in their municipal ca
pacity, have created 74 jier cent.; in the
Middle states about 90 per eent.; in the
southern states, 38 per cent., and in the
Western states 77 per cent. From this it
will Ik* seen that in the south
the municipal debts are less than the
State debts. Mr. Kasson says the reason
that there is so much more fraud and ex
travagance in muncipal than in Federal
and state governments, is that in state
and Federal affairs parties watch each
other closely and expose every attempt at
extravagance and wrong-doing. In city
alt air-there is no particular struggle for
party ascendeney, and party leaders are
too often in league to impose additional
burdens upon the municipality. Mr.
Kasson says; ■•Vigilance is reduced to a
minimum. Suspicion goes abroad with
open eyes, but sleeps at home. Shabby
work is done in the absence of authorita
tive ins|eetion. The voter grumbles at the
state tax of two and one-half mills, as in
lowa, while the wastefulness and ex
travagance of the officials ot his own
municipality load him with a local taxa
tion of thirty, forty and even fifty mills
on the dollar.” How is the evil to be
remedied? Mr. Kasson say*s by limiting
suffrage to those who pay taxes.
Tli is is an unpopular remedy, of
course, anil could not be
readily applied. Mr. Kasson's argument
is that there should be universal sutlrage
in national and State affairs.beeause they
are political governments, but a city is a
niece creature ot the law—a corporation
like a bank or manufacturingcompany. It
is a mere business organization, and
those interested in it are those who own
the property in the corporate limits. They
ought, Mr. Kasson thinks, have entire
control of its affairs, just as the stock
holders of an insurance corporation have
the entire management of its affairs, it
is doubtful if Mr. Kasson's views will
meet with general acceptance. It is true
that in many instances municipal debts are
directly the result of corrupt combinations
in jKilities. but such is not always tin
case. I’rojierty -holders frequently favor
the issuing <<f bonds in aid of railway s or
other improvements, with the expectation
that the increased value of their property
will more than compensate them for in
creased taxation. Those who do not pay
taxes have rights in cities as well as those
whodo. They have a right to good drain
age, good sanitary regulations, good order,
and in fact to everything that makes life
in a city desirable. It might be they could
not get these things if deprived of a voice
in municipal affairs. Mr. Kasson’s views,
whether sound or not. " ill excite discus
sion.
The New York Tribune and other lead
ing journals North have lieen printing the
views of “representative” men on the
business outlook, and they all agree that
there is nothing in the present situation
to cause alarm—that the flurry in Wall
street was due to over-speculation, and
indicates a process of liquidation that
should Ik* viewed as favorable to sound
business methods. Much uneasiness per
vades the country from the numerous
failures daily reported, especially on ac
count of their magnitude. But even this
is not deemed of sufficient importance to
justify a loss of confidence in the ability
of the country to stand it without a panic.
It is believed that the bulk of trade is on
a sound basis, and as the general tendency
has for some time been toward contrac
tion rather than expansion, these failures
are but the effervescence of trade in
throwing off the inflatiousof undue specu
lation.
A cyclone is as terrible as an earth
quake. The destruction wrought to life
and property at Rochester, Minnesota,
and in the vicinity ot that town, by the
cyclone of Wednesday is frightful
to contemplate. Three hundred houses
were changed into a mass
ot ruins in a minute’s time. How many
were killed and how many wounded is
yet unknown. Twenty-five dead bodies
have been recovered, and scores were
more or less seriously- hurt. Some idea
of the force of the wind can be gained
from the fact that a railway train, run
ning at full sjiecd, was lifted from
the track and every car smash
ed to pieces. One man, whose
body was found in a tree-top, was torn
limb from limb by the mere force of the
wind. A cyclone is dreadful because it
comes without warning and does its work
of destruction in a moment of time.
A law has passed the Mexican Con
gress, and has been approved by two
thirds of the Mexican States, by autbority
of which an editor or writer may be im
jtrisonert for an indefinite time without
trial. If he is finally tried and found
guiltless, he can have no redress. This
law was framed by Portirio Diaz, who has
been lauded in this country as the most
progressive of all the Mexican statesmen.
He wants to Ik? President, and expects to
lc a candidate for that office this fall. His
object in having this law gagging the
press passed was, no doubt, to prevent
any criticism of himself or his acts. A
very nice sort of a man is Diaz to be at
the head of the Mexican Republic at this
jieriod of her history!
Of cotton seed oil, a correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution says: “Almost
every educated family in New \ork city
is to-day using it for all cooking purposes
in place of so-called olive oil and lard. It
is found to l>e a sweeter and healthier ar
ticle of food than lard or ordinary butter,
and is much easier to handle. Estimating
that the supposed 7,000,000 bales
of the present crop will gin
out seed enough to make
6,000,000 barrels of oil, the South is shown
to have it in its power to discard the dys
peptic pork and iard of the Northwest,
save its money-, and fallback upon its o"n
home production of this purely vegetable
oil, now rapidly gaining favor even with
epicures.
It is not surprising that bunko men
should find victims among unsuspicious
countrymen, but it is a little remarkable
that as shrewd men as bankers are sujv
posed to lie should be taken in by them.
Not long ago a Pennsylvania banker
traveling in the West was relieved by a
bunko sharper of $2,000, and one day this
week the Vice President of a New York
national bank was euchered out of SI,OOO
at Coney Island by a bunko sharper. The
audacity of the bunko men is the chief
cause of their success.
The Cincinnati Gazette, criticised the
tariff bitterly. It was consolidated with
the Commercial last winter, and now the
hyphenated concern says that “the Dem
ocratic party has been wrong on the tariff
for lorty vears, while the Republican
party has been right since it had an exist
ence.” From this it appears that all that
remains of the Gazette is its name.
Gaslight in New York,
The New Yotk Journal of Commerce
has received a letter from a resident of
that city now traveling in Europe, who
recently paid a visit to Glasgow, and
heard there a recommendation to reduce
the price of gas the coming year to three
shillings and six i>ence per thousand
cubic feet. Upon this the Journal
reviews the history of the gas
light companies in New York—
traces their charges and operations
through various competing conflicts, and
brings them down to their recent combi
nation to rob the people with a strong
hand. After showing that its own gas
bill had been increased 116 per cent., and
that the stock of the New York company
had been raised from $1,000,000 to S4.<XM),-
000 without calling on the stockholders
for one cent contribution, it remarks as
follows:
“Of course the companies in our city
are paying dividends on a great amount
of watered stock, but even upon this and
the most generous outlays ‘where it will
do the most good,’ the gains are simply
enormous. We have heard of an annual
dividend of 4* percent., but this is a faint
representation of what has been pocketed
for the corporations.
“With such vast earnings in their
pockets it will not be easy to secure jus
tice for the jieople. Every holder of elec
tric light stock is anxious to have the
jirice o 4 gas maintained, as it gives to
that competing method its chief hope of
present gain. A venal Legislature will
laugh at public clamor when it is directed
against so rich a customer, and bills tor
compelling a reduction in price will he
smothered somewhere between the pre
senter and the Governor.”
This is a hopeless view of the case and
a fearful comment upon the rectitude of
New York legislation. How can the jieo
ple submit to such open, bold-faced rob
bery? If a petty thief enters a business
mart and carries off a few goods, the
whole "community stands ready to join in
the pursuit, and to bring the criminal to
speedy punishment; but here we have,
unmolested, a ring, a syndicate of resjiect
able swindlers and extortioners, purchas
ing of city and state governments, im
punity for levying dividends upon $3,000,-
nnn of false stocks, known and open
ly acknowledged to be such, by the most
intelligent men in the State. Is it any
wonder that a sentiment of “anti
monopoly" is- forming in the country?
The New York gas companies are doing
no more in this line than numerous other
corporations in the country, and the suc
cess of one but inflames the cupidity of
others. Where will this insatiable greed
end ?
While Georgia talks about agricultural
schools Alabama goes practically to
work and organizes one. The catalogue
of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of that State for 1882 S3 shows a re
modeling of the course of study, in order
to place in the front those branches ot
learning more immediately jiertaining to
agriculture, and for which purpose, as
indicated by its name, the col
lege was designed. The aim of the insti
tution now is, says President Boyd, to
given good scientic and industrial educa
tion. A special Professor of agriculture
Mr. J. s. Newman, of Georgia.) has been
added to the faculty, the State experiment
station connected with the -college, and
liberal appropriations received from the
Legislature to open a farm, provide scien
tific apparatus, books, etc. Anew de
parture has been taken, and the college is
now in full sympathy with the purpose
for which it was founded.
The people of Dakota are having a live
ly squabble over the question whether
the southern ha fof that Territory shall
retain the name of “ Dakota” in the event
that half is admitted as a State. .V bill is
now pending in Oongress to admit the
southern half as a State. The Republi
cans undertook to pass this hill last win
ter; but the ojiposition was too strong.
They will probably try again next winter,
as they are anxious to secure two more
Senators. While Congress retains its
present political complexion, however,
there is not the least danger that any part
of Dakota will lie admitted as a State.
The jieople of Dakota, therefore, are wast
ing their time in a useless discussion.
The jieojile of the northern part say that
if their name of "Dakota” is taken from
them, immigration will he diverted. If
the southern part of the Territory, they
say. wants to become a State, it must
hunt ujia new name.
• CURRENT COMMENT.

The Trouble With Politics.
Bouton Herald Jnd.).
The trouble with the jiolities of the i>e
riod is that there are too many Rejiubli
c-an Democrats, and too many Democratic
Republicans. What the country needs is
a classification that classifies.
“Too Many Colonels.”
Xew York Herald (Ind. Deni.).
The Democratic party just now is
somewhat like the United States army—it
is over-officered. It has, as the slang goes,
••too many Colonels.” and there is danger
that it may have too few high privates on
election day.
Object of the Republican*.
Courier-Journal (Dem.).
The Republicans insist now that it was
Mr. Tilden who defeated Gen. Hancock,
their object being to distract attention
from “the golden stream from Stevenson's
bank,” and the disgraceful methods which
carried Indiana for their ticket,
Conkling’s Position.
Rochester I'nion [Dem.).
Mr. Conkling seems to occupy a more
creditable position in relation to Dorsey
tQan almost any other Rejmblicati leader.
He was present at neither the Fifth Av
enue conference nor the Delmonieo din
ner seven mouths later. Most of the great
moral statesmen, who attended both
those celebrated gatherings would now
lie glad to occupy Mr. Conkling’s relation
to them: but they- cannot destroy the re
cord.
Republicans and the Negroes.
Missouri Republican (Dem.).
The dealing of Republicans with those
colored men who have the good or ill-for
tune to be candidates on a Republican
ticket, is one of the puzzles of our poli
tics. Republicans have no use for ne
groes. They need and demand their
votes, and they assume that the negro is
bound to give his ballot always and under
all circumstances for the Republican
ticket. But beyond this they want noth
ing to do with him.
Pauper Wage* in London.
Philadelphia Xorth American (Rep.).
The working classes of this country
may have grounds of complaint in regard
to t he prevailing rates of wages, but com
parison with those of other countries
would seem to indicate that the American
artisan is absolutely lolling in the lap of
luxury. Some recent investigations by
the Archbishop of Canterbury have elicited
the startling facts that jieople in London
are paid eight cents for making an ulster,
and the tariff for the manufacture of
match boxes is but four and a half cents
per gross. It is more than jtrobahle that
these people do not indulge in whisky and
barefv arrive at lager beer, while meat
must be an unknown article of food.
Telegraphing Must be Taken Out of
Corporate Hand*.
Xeir York Keening Post (Rep.).
The right of the State to make corpora
tions i>erform their duties may he taken as
settled. The ojien questions, however, in
any future strike, as in the last, must he.
however. What is the duty? has it been
neglected? and, above all, does the inter
ference of the State really involve the run
ning of the corporation by the State? If
it does, either one ot two tilings is clear—
either the State may as well give uj> the
attempt, or assume at once the function
hitherto discharged hv the eorjioration.
The granger agitation ended by convinc
ing most jieojile of the truth of the first
alternative as to “fixing rates,” and the
telegraph strike seems to amount to a de
monstration that telegrajihing must, soon
er or later, lie taken out of corjiorate
hands.

Let him laugh. The Chief of Police at
Niagara says he will arrest Rhodes if he

A philosopher of the New York Her
ald thus sums it all up: “Life consists
ot cutting teeth in childhood, of the pangs
of unrequited love in youth, of dyspejisia
in manhood, of a fear of death in old age,
and an oppressive certainty that the law
yers will contest your will and pocket
most of vour money.” Cheerful view of
life! He'must have'spoken just after dis
covering that he had taken a bad quarter.

dressing in Japan tells of the lady’s con
dition. There, a girl at the age of nine
wears her hair tied up in a red scarf, the
forehead being left bare, with the excep
tion of a eon jile of locks, one on each side.
When she is of marriageable age she
combs her hair forward, makes it up in
the shajie of a butterfly or fan and deco
rates it with silver cord and balls. A
widow who wishes for a second husband
twists her hair around a tortoiseshell
pin, while an inconsolable widow cuts
her hair short. These last are said to be
rare.
A paragraph published in this column
the other day relative to a feat performed
by Win. B. Stewart in the way of micro
scopical writing has elicited information
of a similar jierformance that seems to
cast that of Mr. Stewart in the shade.
Win. A.Shaw, stenographer for ex-United
States Attorney General Wayne McVeagh,
has written in the space of a postal card
i a correspondent who has seen it, he says j
5,062 words, being St. Matthew's Gospel,
from the first word down to the word
“him” in the 27th verse of the ninth chap
ter. The correspondent adds; “The card
cannot lie read with t he naked eye, though
it was written with such and a very tine
mapping pen.”
Among the reminiscences indulg
ed in consequent upon the death of
Judge Black we find the. following
incident: “The acquaintance of Judge
Black with Mr. Buchanan began in 1843,
when they were introduced on the floor
of the House of Representatives. Just
as they clasped hands for the first time,
Mr. McGowan, a member from Philadel
phia, jiulled out a knife and stabbed Mr.
Bratton, a fellow member, then editor of
a paper at Carlisle called the Keystone,
now the Volunteer , of the samgplace.
Bratton jumped over his desk and ran,
MiGowan following, cutting at him as
thev went. All around the floor they
pushed until separated by friends, but
neither was badly hurt. It was queer
enough that the personal acquaintance of
these men tiegan under the shadow of
tragedy, and their official association dis
solved on the threshold of war.”
BRIGHT HITS.

“Yes,” said the milliner, “the suicide
of Mrs. Drestokil is a terrible affair. Why,
she did it the verv day 1 sent her anew

ruin me.”
The high-school girl severely repri
manded her brother yesterday for using
the phrase “not to be sneezed at.” She
says he ought to say, “occasioning no
sternutatory convulsions.” — Old City

She tenderly pushed him from her as
they stood in a bay-window with the soft
moonlight falling ujmn them, and said:
“Willie, dear, 1 think you had better try
some other hair-dye, your moustache
tastes like turjientine.”
A young Miss of sixteen asks what is

You may say what you idease, but
there is luck in horseshoes. A man nailed

“In my time, miss,” said a stern aunt,
“the men looked at the women’s faces in
stead of their ankles!” “Ah, but, my dear

“you see that the world has improved and

looks now more to the understanding.”

“Why did you strike this man?” asked
a Justice of the Peace of a prisoner. “I
had sufficient cause, your honor. He
came to my house the other day on a visit.
He criticised iny children and laughed at
ray daughter’s" singing; turned up his
nose at a fish I had caught, and put my
wife to a great deal of trouble at dinner
time, and—” “But all that gave you no
excuse to strike him with a stick of stove
wood.” “I know, but let me get through.
After dinner he began to talk on the tariff
question. Then I hit him.” “Tariff,eh?
I fine you $lO for not shooting him.”
.“I tell you, pard,” said old Jimmy
Cannon, a guide, “the West has lost its
romance. Only a little while ago, it
seems to me, where once there was noth-
but the whoop of the Indian and the
song of the six-shooter, now there are rail
roads and churches, and commercial men,
and high schools, and three-card-monte
men, and lecturers, and daily newspajiers.

Why, within two months, if the blasted
papers tell the truth, several men have

it’s time to light out for the frontier,”
One of the letters of introduction Miss
Kate Field brought with her to Denver
was from Sir Charles Dilke to Judge Mc-
Curdy. She sent a note to the Windsor
Hotel office, asking where the Judge could
be found. The answer came back: “Don’t
know; he’s been dead for eight years."—
Denver Tribune. This recalls the story ot
a well known New Yorker, who, upon be
ing applied to by a rich gambler for let
ters of introduction to jiersons abroad, un
hesitatingly sat down and wrote half a
dozen letters, which he handed the gam
bler. Updki being remonstrated with by
some of his friends, who had heard the re
quest and noted the ready comjdiance he
had yielded, the gentleman rejilied:
“Never fear, every one of the jiersons to
whom I have addressed those letters has
been dead for years.”

His Familiar Figure.
A Washington special to the Missouri
Republican, sjieaking of Judge Black's
death, savs: “The news of the death of
Jeremiah P. Black was received with
great regret here where his face had been
familiar for many years. Judge Black
was in Washington very often of late
years, lie was best known as one of the
foremost members of the Supreme Court
bar. At times he appeared before the de
partments, but plenty of people remember
him as he was in his prime before the war.
The last time that his appearance here
attracted national attention was when he
came last winter as counsel for the Mor
mons and attempted to negative the work
of the Utah Commission. Judge Black
was one of the most familiar figures in
the lobbv or one of the up-town hotels. A
well-built, comfortable-looking man with
a smooth face browned by the weather,
bushv, dark eyebrows, shading to gray,
and a brown wig that did not knows its
jilaee. He wore a stock and carried a
snuff-box, and his clothes were out' of
date. He was always the centre of a
grouji of listeners. He was one of the
best story-tellers in public life. When he
was not entertaining his friends, in his
rest hours, he was reading French novels,
of which he was very fond. He was glad
to come to Washington at any time on
account of his daughter, Mrs. Hornsby,
who has a delightful home in the West
end. In her company her father saw a
good deal of Washington society. He was
universally liked. Ilis originality, his
quaintness and his old fashioned man
ners gave him peculiar interest. His big
heart held the friends whom his brilliancy
attracted.
Worn-Out Railway Einjiloyes.
London Truth.
By the way, I was speaking to a very
intelligent station master the other day
about the crop ol holiday railway acci
dents. “Do you think,” I said, “it has
much to do with the long hours?” He at
once replied, with the utmost warmth and
eagerness, “Sir, you can take your stand
upon that. If you are ever in company
where that question is started you will be
right in denouncing the long hours. No
one will lie able to reply to you then. Un
doubtedly, the men are worn out, op
pressed and fatigued beyond all powers
of attention. Look at that poor fellow
in vonder signal box,” and he pointed
to one hard by; “he has been there for
twelve hours at a stretch—every day it
is the same thing. That man has not even
time to snatch a quiet meal, no rest, dare
not relax for a minute. Well, what s the
consequence? Some break down and die
oft', others go o fftheir heads, and you
never can tell when the break-down Is
coming. The men won’t give in—its their
bread; the station master daren’t com
plain, and the directors know it. Ihey
don’t care for the public safety; they can
afford the damages. Human life is noth
ing to them, nor human hearts and brains
either. “The tiling,” he added, “is scan
dalous, shameful, notorious.” At that
moment an exjiress was sighted; his quick
eyes caught the jiointman flagging. “John,
look sharp!” and he hurried off. “John
was in time, but only just. The train flew
bv like a hurricane, and “John” lounged
away languidly with his hands in his
pockets, looking fit for the hospital.

“REX MAGNUS,”
The Humiston Food Preservative.
It preserves meats, fish, oysters, milk,
cream, eggs, and other food products in all
their freshness, purity and sweetness, in all
