THERE is now some prospect that the Farnam street imp.rovement will bo made this year. The council has acted wisely in adopting the report of the appraisers.

No matter how earnest- Iy we may desire republican success we could not reconcile republ nopolists to a support of republican can- didates whilo railroad attorneys and lobbyists are ita most honored represent- atives in the councils of the nation. As a sincero friend we warn republicans of Nebraska against committing them- selves again to the disastrous policy that has driven more than 12,000 repub- licans ont of the party into the anii-mo- nopoly ranks. The official organ of the Union Pacific railroad aska the republicans of Nebras- ka to send John M. Thurston as delegate at largo to Ohicago. Wil the party reck- lessly defy the known sentiment among the masses, by selecting as one of its ropresentatives in the national conven- tion the chief political attorney and lob- byist of the giant monopoly? Are there no men of approved ability and integrity to be found in the republican ranks out- side of the corporation employ? Is the party soslavish and degraded that it can only do honor to men who draw prince- ly salaries from railroad monopolies for packing primaries and conventions, brib- ing and debauching legislatures, and sub: verting justice in our courts by venal ju- ries? Will the republicans of Nebraska refuso toprofit by the bitter experience of the past two years which was due en- tirely to the bulldozing and overreaching policy of such railroad bosses as John M. Thurston? Four years ago the repub- licans of Nebraska could not vote for James A. Garfield without voting for Thurston and Laird, the one chief lob- byist of the Union Pacific and the other the political attorney of the Bu on railroad, who were forced upon the elec- toral ticket by the monopoly bulldozers. Hasn't this man Thurstou been honored enough in being mfw‘,é an elector at the presidential elegtion of 18807 1s the next presidenf,” again to be laid under tribute byrihe Union Pacific railroad througil” Thurston as a delegate to the national convention? Let republican leaders who desire to go before the peo- ple next fall calmly reflect before they lend themselves to this brazen attempt to make the party a mere hewer of wood and drawer of water for railroads.

Certainly, it leaves no possible ground whatever for the silly idea of some timid membera that these ronds must be treated tenderly now owed to the government by these defaulting corporations amounts to $102,- 312,94, Tho interest on this is $10,- 000,000, and as not a cent of it is being paid, it is constantly being added to the It is plain enough that The total sum to the principal. unless sumething be done soon, the debt will grow to such dimensions that the government will realize it. The idea that the defaulting companies are too poor to bo honest is complstely ex- ploded by the report. It shows that the Union Pacific has 16,000,000 acres of land, which, if sold at the rate prevail- ing in 1880, would renlize cnough to pay ita debt to the government twice over. Besides this, it has aa annual surplus of over §1,500,000, sad ils net earnings, without tho interest to bond holders, amount to about £8,000,000 in a year, The 35 per cent which the government will require will not take more than $2,- 800,000 of this. It is evident then that 80 far as this road is concerned, the fault with the proposed lawis not that it is too severe, but that it is too lenient. It might have set about 75 per cent. of the net earnings without doing any damage. The total debt now due from the Union Pacific amounts to 867,644,181, To give it twenty years in which to pay it is cer- tainly mild enough. The committee also recall some inter- esting facts about the construction of the Union Pacifie, which seems to have been entirely forgotten. * It cost but §51,000,- 000 to build and equip the enfire road. The government subsidy in thilwas over $27,000,000. The first mort, drawn was more thau $27,000.000,” ese two contributions thriéiore a good deal more than built und equipped the road. But besiies these there came in $10,000,000 of land grant bonds, and $10,000,000 of income bonds, and the road was stocked on §36,000,C00. When the Kansas and Denver Pacific roads were consolidated this stock was increased by the conven- ient process of watering to $50,000,000, and subsequently to $60,868,500 at which figure it now stands. Now that a road which has had all these advantages, and resources, and has besides 'made all its ownera rich by extortion and robbery should refuse to pay its legitimate debt to the government is a little too audacious- ly dishonest. Really, the best thing that the government can do is to take posses- sion of the entire road and equeeze the last breath of life out of the infamous corporation that controls it. Tae Western Union, and all other telegraph companles, have made a cut on night rates to fifteen cents between Now York and a great number of pointa east of the Missouri river. With the true mag- nanimity characteristiclof a monopoly, the Western Union officials announced that their action was not brought about by competition, but only by a philanthropic desire to benefit the public, This pretty little lie, however, is nailed by the sig- nificant fact that the reduction only ex- tends to pointa where there is competi- tion. To all other places the rates re- main as before. Bat if competition can make lower rates iu one part of the coun- try, why can't iz in all other parts, when it is once well established? Therefore, why can't the people of the west hope for some alleviation of their burden when the Baltimore & Ohio, or some other line atringsits wires through in this direction? MAN Beach, of New York, is about toset a splendid example to all statesmen who find themselves unable to get to congress to go into the investigat- ing business. He wanted a commissioner appointed to look into the matter of food adulterations and when his bill was de- feated he very properly undertook to do the work himsslf. Hois going to make particular examination of the butter of- fered for sale in the large cities, and will hire a chemist at his own expense, to perform the analysis, When he gots through he will make his own report to congress, supplemented by a speech, and atatistics, This opens upa way of utilizing & good many congressmen who have hitherto been only ornamental. They can be set to work at conducting their own investigations. — Ir may not have been solely on ac- count of his white wife that Fred Doug- lass was defeated for chairmanship of the Pittsburg convention of cclored men, but it is certain that his recent matrimonial venture has immensely injured his popu- larity with his race. By that step he lost his place of leader forever, Perhaps some colored man can tell the difference between discriminations against Douglass on account of his wife's color, and . dis- criminations against other colored men on account of their own color, To the ordinary observer, however, the differ- ence between theso things is entirely too minute to be seen.

Mr. Valentine expressed his indigna- tion at the democrats in congress for not having, long ago, declared forfeited the unearned railroad land grants, He knew very woll that he could say this without hurting the feelings of the Union Pacific, whom he has served s0 well. He knew that such forfeiture would hurv its rivals, principally the Northern Pacific, and henco he was in favor of the measure, Had the Union Pacific any unearned lands Mr. Valentine would have been more guarded in his remarks, Mr. Valentine's speech, however, gave great satisfaction to his constituents, par- ticularly that portion of it in which he bade them farewell and declared his in- tention of retiring from public life, This waa conceded to be the most pleasing thing that he covld possibly have uttered. It was a great relief to two-thirds of the convention, The facy of it 1s that Mr. Valentine's retirement was by no means a voluntary act. It was forced upon him. The en- tire western part of the state was against him, and "even his own county was op- vosed to him. This explains how J. H. MacColl was elected delegate to the na- tional convention. P Occurrence and Value of Mica, [From the Leadville Herald. | A reporter yesterday met Mr. Hazel- ton, a mica miner of many years exper- ience, and obtained the following inter- eating facts concerning this mineral; Muscovite mica, the ordinary mica of commerce, is found in nearly all the granite and gneirssold areaof the coun- try, yet, while abundant, a good qualiity of mercantile mica is scarce, especially of large sizes and good quantity., The to- tal annual production of commercial mica in the United States does not exceed 80,000 pounds, the average value of which is $3 40 per pound, making a to- tal value of $272,000. At present North Carolina produces two-thirds of i the mira mined in the United States. The center of this industry is at Barkersville, Mitchell Coanty, North Carolina. Senator Clingman, a gentleman of &aci- entificate knowledge, had noticed in two logical investigations of the formation ogh‘htchal)»county ancient mounds upon which large forest trees were growing. Suppming these mounds to be the dumps some ancient mines worked in prehistor- ic time, he opened several, but found no recivus metals, only mica. which he be- ieved worthless. Therefore the explor- ation of these mounds was abandoned. A fow months later a ‘cute Yankeo” from Conneticut, while prospecting the the county for mineral, and coming upon amound which Clingman had opened, upon examining the mica, and determin- ing its value, soon afterward obtained & lease upon the property in question and by his energy and practical know- ledge of the business soon made a hand- some fortune. At the present time there are in this section but two mines, that are large producers, the Cloudlook, now 100 feet deep, and the Ray mine, the most valuable property of its kind in the country, which is being worked at a depth of 300 feet and producing twoltons monthly. The Clarrissa mine near Bak- eraville, at one time produced about one- half of the total product of the United States, but after being worked to a depth 0P 3060 feet has been abandoned, as the vein has pinched and the mine is now very wet. A large portion of the product of North Carolina is mined by farmers who eke out a scanty substance by prospecting for this valuable mineral. "In this mica belt, which is thirty miles wide and one hundred miles long, the mica is found near the surface and of as good a quality 88 at a considerable depth, which is u questionably a cornmon experionce re, since mica is not as quickly zed as other minerals, After the vein is opened a foew feet in depth, say 10 or 20 feet, if no pay mica is found the prosvect is usually abandoned. These quasi miners are well satisfied with the finding of a few pockets yiolding $160 to $200 return for a season’s labor. 1t is a notable fact that all the best mines of North Carolina are of prehisto io origin, The ancienf. people working these mines wore doubtless cotemporane- ous with the mound builders of the Ohio Valley, since in Chillicothe, Circlevil'e, and other places have been found in the mounds adjacent sheet of mica covering human remains; also micas laying upon ancient altars, evidentialy used for sac. rificial purposes, while perforated disks of mica found in graves suggest they Were worn as ornaments, Mica mining in the Rocky Mountains has thus far not proven a very profitably industry, the obstaclo to its successful prosecution being the poor quality of the mica and high price of labor. In the Black Hills a considerable quantity has been mined, of a very good quality, but the large expense of mining has hitherto rendered the buainess not profitable, In New Mexico one or two new mines have been opened, promising, we arc in- formed, satisfactory results, The past winter some prospecting has beeu done on Current Creek, in the southeast sec- tion of the South Park, aud about 100 pounds of commercial mica have been recently shipped to Philadelphia, but it pprohended the cost ur production will bear further developement in that secion, The quantity is abundant in Colorado, but most of it ia swained and factured. — eciric Girls.

A very be The present system of lighting the front hall of a dwelling ho that the light—whether it be a gas light or an eleotrio light—must be kept burn. g all the evening, and that a servant must be made to answer the bell. Thus the cost of there is a double expense the light and the cost of the servant. The Electric Gitl Lighting company will furnish a beautiful girl of tifty or a hun- dred candle power, who will be on duty from dusk till midnight or as much later 8 may bo desired. This girt will romain seated in the hall until some one rings the front door bell, She will then turn on her electric Jight, open the door, ud- wit the visitor and Jight him into the re- coption room. One girl thus perforus tho dulies of lighting the front hall and answering the bell, und her annual cost is much less than that of a servant and a as light, If, however, any houscholder should desire to keep the electric girl constantly burning and to employ an- other servant to answer the bell, there can be no doubt that the electric girl, posing in & picturesque attitudo, will add much to the decoration of the house. Under the present system clectric lamps or gas burners ara fixtures, and cannot bo moved from place to place. The electric girls, on the contrary, are movable. One gitl can be made to give as much light as a large sized drawing- room chandelier, and she can be moved from oune room to another, leading the way to eupper, for example, and placed wherever she can do the most good. There can be no comparison between a a beautifully designed and chastely exe- cuted electric girl and a massive chande- lier that constantly threatens to fall on somebody’s head; and every household- er of esthetic instinets will be glad to exchange his chandeliers for girls. An inexpensive electric girl of one or two candle-power will be of great use when a porson desires to go from one room to another in a dark house. In- stead of having to carry a candle in his hand and incur the rik of dropping it, or haying it blown out by a draught of air, the happy possesscr of an electric girl cani curn: her on and send her before him to light the way. The student who is now troubled by the flicker of his gas Jight, or his inability to move the electric light from one part of his desk to anoth- er, can be made perfectly thappy by an electric girl, with a ground-glass shade, who will take any position that the stn- dent may desiro in order to throw light on his book or paper. No one who be- comes accustomed to such a girl will think of returning to old-fashioned meth- ods of lighting. The new company proposes to furnish the new light at a little less than the charge made by the Edisor and Brush Companies, and promises that in a short time its light will be decidedly cheaper than gas. The Company’s plant already comprises 2500 girls, and both electric boys and footmen will be at the command of the public as soon as certain experi- mentsas to the possibility of enabling elec- tric boys to give a steady light are com- pleted.
