We may look for the lying before its close. New Yonrk has 286 employes in its city civil engineering department. Omaha has four, Mavor Boyp deserves and will re- ceive all credit for the fearless manner in which he enforced the law on Wed- nesday. Srock and produce gambling has re- ceived another set-back in the opinion of Judge Moran, of Chicago, who de- cides that “‘option. contracts” are void and cannot be enforced Mz. TioeN will remain an availa. ble candidate for the presidency on the Bourbon ticket as long as his in- come remains at $260,000 a year which sum he received last year from his Michigan mining interests alone. Durine the first fifteen days of the present month the treasury depart- ment will be called upon to disburse $33,000,000 on account of interest ugon the public debt. TweLve applicants are after the official shoes of Postmoster Pearson, of New York. If efficiency and along record for valuable services in the postal department count for anything Mr. Pearson’s place will not soon be vacant. — Tux Kansas Oity Journal, in dis- cussing paving, rises to remerk that it limestone were the only paving ma terial available it would prefer to trust to providence and good weather rather thanto endure the slop and dust which are equally a nuisance. — DoriNe the past six years nearly 23,000 miles of railroad have been sold under foreclosure toicover a noms inal indebtedness of $76,000,000. . It is safe to say that fully half of this amount represented money pocketed by constructicn rings and stock gam- blers. OmanA architects prediot more building of handsome business houses and residences this year than ever. Brick and stone will work wondere in giving & metropolitan appearance to our streéts, which must, at the same time, be rendersd passable by .durable pavementa, THE immigration of the year 1881 was paid into the treasury from this one source alone. Several efforts have been made to obtain the repeal of the tax but without success. It turns out that the stamp duty is re- now od- | tained on matches because the manu- facturers are nr;p(:m-.d to ita repeal. The arguments used for the continu- ance of taxation on their own product is that their business has been ‘'ad- justed to the existence of the tax, and to remove it would compel them to close up their factories and drive them into bankruptey.” The real reason for their objection is that the tax op- erates to maintain their monopoly of the matoh manufacturing business. Under the rules governing the sale of match stamps a purchaser of fifty dollars or less may secure credit of sixty days and a discount of five per cent. by giving bonds, while the pur- chaser of five hundred dollars worth is favored with a like credit and ten per cent. reduction. Before the tax duty was imposed the only capital needed to carry on the business was the amount invested in materials and machinery, and small establishments were operated all over the country. The duty called for a large amount of ready capital and at once drove from the field the small factories, leaving the business in the hands of a few monopolists. The manufacturers are well aware that the repeal of the match stamp tax will be followed by the immediate establishment of a num- ber of small factories and the breaking 'down of their monopoly. And this is the true inwardness of their objection to the repeal of the law. There are no good reasons for thp retention of the tax. Itisa tax laid on a necessity, not a luxury, of life, and on this account falls more heavily on the poor than on any other class, It is excessiye in its rate, amounting to nearly one hundred per cent. on the cost of manufacture. More than all it fosters a monopoly against pub- lic policy and prevents competition in a business whoso output directly con- cerns every consumer in the country. It ought to be repealed. ; S—— Tur BEE, in its account of ‘‘the la- bor trouble,” as it designates yester- day's riot, states a fact which is thor- oughly characteristic.

The Farmers’ Alliance at element of strangth taken throughout the republic is small compared with the immenso numbers who favor the great issue outside of it, and who will vote for it; but 1t must be remember- ed that those who labor outside of the alliance may have a choice as to measures, means and men. In this county the alliance will cast one-third of the whole vote, but it the measures adopted by it are unwise, will it be able to cast that vote solid? We answer no. While the alliance is.in the minority it should move carefully, feeling its way at every step, and se- ocure by judicioas action the co opera- tion of every anti-monopolist in the county If this course is taken and carried out success is certain; other- wise failure and chagrin.

A snow slide from Prospect mountain recently blucked tne channel of Wood river, aud the back water oveflowed the valley, doing great damage, but no lives were lost. It is reported that this is the severest winter in Idaho since 1875. The stock is suffering very much for want of food, and it is feared that when the thaw comes that many of them will stick in the mud and die, as they will not have sufficient strength to extricate themselves.

Record, “‘You are not d :af in your left ear, aro yeu!" asked a reporter of a well- known gentleman with whom he was about to begin conversation, when the newsman was requested to move around to the right side. “Oh, no,” replied the gentleman,” but that is my telephonic ear, and it seems to me that it has become almost useless for any other purpose than to listen to telephonic messages.’ ““It is your what ear?” said the re- porter. ‘“Telephonic ear? What is that?” “Since T have been using the tele- phone,” continued the gentleman, “my hearing has become decidedly acute in the left ear, so much so in fact that I hear with when holding the instrument several inches nwni. T incline to the belief, however, that my hearing, save for the telephone, 18 not so good.” With these facts in his possession a Record reporter waited upon Mr. Henry Bentley, the well-known ex- pert and scientist in electrical mat. ters. T can hardly creditthe statement,” said Mr. Bentley. ‘I have practised and experimented with telephones for some years—in fact, before they were handed over to the public—but did not find that their use had the least effect upon my hearing. I have stood before the telephones and sent and received messages until my head buzzed, and it has been with great difficulty that I could get asleep at night after experimenting, but my hearing was very acute. Indeed, it seems to me the more I use them the better my hearing becomes. The con- stant practice calls all the muscles in- to play and trains them. Now, there are the ‘barkers’ up in the exchange room. We call those persons who sit before the switch boards and make the connections ‘barkers.’” Their ears become trained to such calls as ‘con- nect 48 with 62, ‘good-bye,’ and such talk as that, day after day, but I have yet to hear the first complaint from any of them that it has interfered with their hearing. There might be this in exceptional cases. The ear may become trained to detect the slightest sound in the phones on one side, say the left, while on the other it may not be so acute. Then, again, some persons claim they can hear better with one ear than the other, and this may not be developed uu.il they have constant use of the tele- hones. The instruments have hard- y been in serwice long enough for any peculiarities to have developed themselves. It must be remembered they are but recent inveations. Every one I have seen can hear just as well with one ear as the other the sounds in the phones, and it has mot affected their zeneral hearing.” The Superintendent of the Bell Telephone Exchange had not noticed anything peculiar with any of the em- loyes, the barkers especially. The atter golition, however, is a very un- desirable one because of the monoto- nous duties, and young ladies fill the places, They do not remain long enough in it to sacrifice themselves to sarvice, preferring the perils of matri- mony when the opportunity offers.

Teaching Children to Think. New York T.ibune, The new methods of instruction in the Boston primary schools hcve in the past three years worked wonders, tne only drawback being the want of time to enable the teachers to acquire the needful knowledge and skill. These methods are in effect those of Quincy--methods which teach child- ren to think rather than to merely re- member. Naturally their introduction met, with opposition from the tribe of cut-and-dried teachers—principally from the grammar masters, who saw the supervision of the primary schools taken from them and given to three supervisors skilled in the new work, The Boston Herald says; “It was supposed by many of the masters to necessary to keep their grammar schools filled, in order to retain their rank and salary and the full quota of teachers for their scho.ls. T'he con- sequence was that in many cases pu- pils were hurried away from the pri- mary to the grammar schools before they were flmperly prepared, and re- tained in the grammar schools much longer than the regular grammar school course contemplated.” There is & movement in the School Board to place the supervision of the primary schools again in the hands of the masters—a movement which, it is to be hedrtily hoped, will be unsuceess- ful.
