The Herald and Republican are proofs to the contrary. Five thousand dollars reward ought tostimulate every enorgy in the detec- tion of a crime which has cast disgrace on the reputation of our city as o law abiding community. Ir honest Sam Kirkwood allows his namo to be used as & candidato for tho senatorship before the next Towa fogislature Jim Wilson ought at once to be retired to a back seat. IMMIGRATION is pouring into Da- Xota. A few thousand dollars judi- ciously exponded by our last legisla- ture would have paid a heavy interest to our state in an intlux of prosper- ous sottlers. Mr. Braine's Panama canal lottor is considered an unusually ablo state pa- per by European diplomats. Mr Braing has increased the public osti- mate of his abilities by his brilliant rocord as secretary of state, Tus startling discovery has just been made that Secretary Sherman got his house in Washington white- washed during his term of office as a cabinet office. A rigid investigation should at once be instituted, — . Guirkau must have been insane after all. Evidence will be produced that he once planned the establish- ment of a metropolitan daily which, under his direction was to bocome the greatest newspaper in the world, S—— Tur Cincinnati iron strike has ended, atter six months' lockout, by the strikers returning to work at the old wages. Over §2,000,000 hasbeon lost to labor by ll\il unfortunate movement., A strike on a stationary or falling warket is the height of folly. —_— 1Ix the election held to-day in New York thero are congressional contcsts in two districts. Successors are to be chosen to succeed Mr. Morton, who has been appointed Minister to France, and Mr. Lapham, lately olected to the senate. There is & reasonable belief that both will be carried by the ro- publicans, MAN TRAPS Sooser or later Omaha will be overtakon by those calamitios that al- ways follow the erection of man trap | buildings in cities. While wo have a w0 called fire ordinance on our munic y Bonson voncered ipal statutes we witness ev of brick roofings that are as combustible We have hotels, tres, schoolhoures, fretorios and store the construction a8 n stack of hay thea: buildings without fire escapes and should fire break ont during one of those Nebraska zephyrs hundreds of [ Trvesand millions of property will bosac ul to [ IRocently n will in Philadelphia took rifl criminal negl firo from cleetric lights that were carclessly arranged. It was in the night, and the tire made great head way bofore it was discovered, Work ingmen employed in the upper storics were cut off from eseape through the lower ones, and nine persons burned to death. the coroner’s jury found as part of their verdict First—That the fire was caused by tho improperly constructed and inefli- ciontly managed electric anparatus for lighting tho building. Second = That Joseph Harvey, the owner of tho mills, is criminally re- sponsible for tho loss of life, in ueglocting to furnish proper moans of oscape in case of fire, Third—That the city of Philadel- phin is responsible for not enforcing the laws by compelling Joseph Harvey to ercct proper firo escapes. The justice of the second and third findings is apparent. The man who builds a man-trap like that mill ahould be criminally prosecuted and punished where he catches and kills his man. The common law held that if A, the owner ot a bull known to be vicious and dangerous to human lifo, allowod him to stray from his closo, and, in consequence of this gross neglect, B got bored to death by the bull; A was guilty of manslaughtor. The man who erects a building in which many are employed, without providing in its construction any meany of escape from fire, is equally culpable with the owner of the vicious bull, and should be criminally prosecuted and punished when the loss of life en- sues from his gross neglect of a plain duty to society and his fellow-men. Tho third finding, which throws the ultimate responsibility on the city, be- cause its nuthorities neglocted to en- force a loeal law to compel the owner of the mill to proyide tho means of escapo in case of fire, was also just and right. Andif it means anything it means that the surviving relatives of the nine victims have a legal claim on the municipality for damages, which this verdict will prompt them to enforce in the courts. All eiticsin the United States ave cursed tho existence of some such carolessly constructed buildings Some of thi11 aro churches, schoolhouses or theators. The crim- inal prosecution of the owners of pri- vate buildings of this class, with their conviction of manslaughter and im- prisonment in the state prisonsj and actions for the rceovery of damages from the municipality, in a few in- stances, wonld soon bring about a thorough reform of this dangerous man-trap architecture, and diminish tho most appalling casualtios tncident to fire, After a full investigation by Tur Union Pacific has given formal notico to the Pacific mail that the agreement oxisting between it and that company relative to the Pacific coast traflic has been cancellod. This agreement was one of those outrage- ous compacts between lpgalized high- waymen by which the public is plun- dered to enrich the corporations. By its terms the Union and Central Pa- cific companies paid a stated sum to the Pacific Mail, in consideration of a contract by the latter compa- ny not to cut ocean rates on freight and passengers to Californiain such a manner that traftic would be diverted from the overland route and through cheap rates which would ac- oruo to the benefit of the public. T! mothod is worso than the pooling ar- rangements of the railroads, and calls for vigorous national legislation to provent its continnance. —— Tup estimates of Postmaster Gen- eral James for the next fiscal year show a deficiency cut down to one-third, from §2,780,341 this year to $920,- 077 next year, and a saving of §775, 000 on the star routo service, The new estimates for '82-3 add £500,000 to the sum askod for postmasters' salaries, making 88,300,000 for this item alone. As this payment is regulated by law, the postmaster general has no dis- cretion in the matter; but the de- partment is now paying, and is prob. ably the only employer in the coun- try which is now paying, as large salarics as in the dear days just after the war. An express company which was paying one-fifth of its gross re- ceipta in agents’ salaries would have a doficit, as the postoftice department has, and proper lagislation on - this point ought to save $1,000,000 to §1,- 600,000 yearly. Tux leaven of independence in the party is working in some quarters of the ocast, and has even affocted the New York Times. That journal, in & in @ leading editorial on the political outlook, urges all republicans to stand by the state ticket. It is, it says, ‘i every way worthy.” But “in regard to local offices,” the T'imes adds, re- gence. | publicans “have the oceasicn and the right for the exercise of their best judgment. Moreover, they have an opportunity for rebuking the mere mischief-makers of their party by bringing their devices to mnaught.” This is sound and sensible, but is sur- prising as coming from the Times. — I Fromont resigned Siner Geno the governslip of Arizona, the leading | politiciany of that tecritory have been agitating againat the appointment of | any non-resident *o the governship of that territory, There s little pros :;--‘. however, that these protests will avail anything.

Columbus, Grand Island and towns between are brought into closer rela- tions with the merchants of this’city, being enabled to reach here at 7:30 a. m. and leave for home at the same hour m the evening, giving them twelve hours’ time in the metropolis of tho state. In the matter of mail facilities, a gain of ten to fifteen hours will bo made over the old syster. Gradors on the Denver ime of the B. & M. have reached a point sixty miles beyond the Nebraska line. Con- tractors are confident that the entire line will be graded and ironed by June 1st. The managers of the Missouri Pa cilic are vigorously pushing work on the Omaha extension. Steel rails are being laid at the rate of one and a half mi day in the vicinity of Falls City. The contract for grading the section between Atchison and Hi- awatha, Kansas, a distance of forty miles, has been let to Robert Bagnalt, to be completed by January 1st. Threo hundred teams and five hundred men will begin work on this division im- Grading and ironing is progressing rapidly north of Falls City, and if tho winter remains wod- erately mild, trains will be running into Omaha by the first of June. The traveling and business men of Lincoln appreciate the great conve- nience of the Sunday train over the Union Pacific branch, and additional facilities afforded by the change of time on the B. & M. St. Joseph and Kansas Cicy papers give currency to the rumor that Col. J. F. Barnard, for years superinten- dent of the Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs road, would succeed The business men of Fremont, mediately. Mr. Touzalin as general inanager of the B. & M. in Nebraska. The fact that Mr. Barnard attended a conforence of the mana- gers of the Burliugton system in Chicago last week is cited as a basis for the report. The truth is that the B. & M. in Nebraska and Colorado will be operated in connection with the C., B. & Q., with headquarters in Chicago, where the company are now erecting offices. tendent will have chargo of the several branchee in Nebraska, but no change is looked for until the Deuver exten- sion is complete.

It is now given out that the Pacific will push its line due west into the heart of the cattle country in Wyoming —the foothills and valleys of the Big Horn moun- tains. A branch line to the Black Hills, from or near Camp Sheridan, will probably follow immediately after the construction of the main line to Sheridan, which point the company expect to reach in less than a year.

How Postage Stamps Are Made. Scientific American. The number of ordinary postage stamps issued in 1881 was 904,128,440, and value £24,040,643. The method of printing postaze stamps is as _fol- lows: The printing is done from steol plates, on which two hundred stamps are ongraved, avd the paper used 18 on a peculiar texture, sowe- what resembling that employed for bank mnotes. Two men cover the plates with colored inks and pass them to a man and girl who priut them with las lling hand presses, Threo of these littls squads are c- ployed all the time, although ten presses can be 'put in operation if necessary. The colors used in the inks are ultra-marino blue, Prussian blue, chromo yellow and Prussian blue (green), vermillion and carmine. After the sheews of paper on which the two hundred stamps are engraved have been dried, they are sent to an- other room and gummed. The gum used is made of the powder of dried potatoes and other vegetables mixed with water. Gum arsbic is not de- sirable, because it cracks the paper badly. ‘Che sheets are gummed sop- arately, they are placed back upward upon a flat wooden support, the edges being protected by a metallic frame, and the gum is applied with a wide brush. After having been again dried, this time on little racks, which are fannes by steam power for about an hour, they are put in between sheets of pasteboard, and pressed be- tweon hydraulie presses, capable of applying o weight of two thousand tons The sheets are next cut in halves; each sheet, of course, when cut con- tains a hundred stamps. This is done by a girl with a large pair of shears, The Partneuf river is| cutting by hand being preferred to that of machinery, which method would destroy too' many stamps, They are then passed to the perforat- ing machine. The perforations be- tween the stamps are effected by pass- ing the sheets between two c)'{indurs provided with a series of raised bands which are adjusted to a distance apart equal to that required betweon the rows of perforations. Each ring on the upper cylinder hasaseriesof cylin- drical projections which it correspond- ing depressions ‘in the bands of the lower cylinder; by these the perfora- tions are punched out, and by a sim- ple contrivance the sheet is detached from the cylinder, 1 which it has been conducted by an encless band. The rows running longitudinally of the paper aro ftirst made, and then by a similar machine the traverse ones. This perforating machine was invented and patented by & Mr. Arthur in 1852, and was purchased by the gov- ment for §20,000. The sheets are next dressed once more, and then packed and labelled and stowed away in another room, preparatory to be- ing put up in mail bags for dispatch- ing to fultil orders. If a singlo stamp is torn orin any way mutilated the whole sheet of one bundred thousand are burned every week from this cause. The sheets are counted no less than eleven times during the pro- cess of manufacturing, and so great is tho care taken in counting that not a single sheet has been lost during the past twenty years. Eating Before Sleeping. " New York Journal of Commerce. Man is the only animal that can be taught to sleep quietly on an ewpty stomach, The knruh‘ creation resent all efforts to coax them to such a vio- Iation of the laws of nature. The lion roars in the forest until he has found hLis prey, and when ho has devoured it he sleeps over until he needs another meal. The horse will paw all night in the stable, and the pig will squeal in the pen, refusing all rest or eleep until they are fed. The animals w ‘n\-h chew the cud have their own provision for o late *meal just before dropping off to their nightly slumbers, Man can train himsels to the habit of sleeping without a preceding meal, but only after long years of practice As he comes into the world nature is two strong for him, aud he must be fed before ho will sleep. A child's | stomach is small, and when perfectly | tilled, if no sickness disturbs it, sleop follows naturally and inevitably, As digestion goes on, the stomach begins to empty. A single food in it will make tho little sleeper restless; two will waken it; and if it is hushed again to repose the nap is short, aud ESDAY NOVE MBER 8, 1881 three folds slumber, put an end to the Paregoric or other narcotic close his may eyes again, hut, without either food or some stupefying drug it will not sleep, no matter how healthy it may be. Not even an angel who learncd the art of minstrelsy in a celestial choir can sing a babe to sleep onan empty stomach, We see the oft-quoted illustration, “sleeping as sweetly an infant } because this slumber of a child follows | im! cly after its stomach is com- | pletely filled with wholésome food The sleep which comes to adults long | hours aiter partaking of food, and when the stomach is nearly or quite embty, is not after the type of in- anntile repose.

Tt is o fact ca- tablished beyond the possibility of contradiction that sleep aids digestion, and that the proce s of digestion is conducive to refreshing sleep. It needs no argument to convince us of this mutual relation. The drowsiness which always follows the well ordered meal is itsolf a tostimony of nature to this inter-dependence. THE TRIBUNE PRIMER.

The Widow of “Jim" N. Y. Hour, Fow of the multitude that was wont to surround Col. *‘Jim"” Fisk in his palmy days seem to remember that their idol left a loving wife, and that this wife is dependent for the bare necessaries of life upon the bounty of a sister byno means wealthy. That the wife of aman whoso estate was known to be valued at 83,000,000 should be thus situated, will be regarded b; many with incredultity, In his will, Fisk, after bequeathing various sums to needy friends and relatives, left the residue of his estate to his wife, Mrs. Lucy D. F To carry out what he was pleased to term ‘‘the labor of love” of managing his wife'’s large interests, he appointed as trus- tee the man who had been associated with him for years and who owed to him that vast fortune with which he is now enabled tu control railroads that gird a continent, Of course, & man who could not remember while under oath whether a certain payment had been £5,000,000 or §10,000,000, could hardly be expected to remember just what amount he held in trust for the wife of his benefactor. It is said, on good authority, that before his death, Fisk made over various large sums of money to Gould to be held 1w trust for Murs.
