The cision is al4o of importance to surveyors unparalleled in the history of the Irish in America.” Junce Rorurock, who has been nom- inatad for supremo judge of Towa by tho republicans, is a prohibitionist in princi- ple, but ho decided ngainst the prohibi- tion amendment. Ho was, therefore, strongly opposed in the convention by the prohibition wing of the party. ExcLIsn journalism is improving, as it is heginning to pattern after American newspapers, and more space and atten- tion are being devoted t> American af- fairs. A very significant tact in this con- nection is that two new daily papera are about to be atarted in London, the chiel specialty of each of which will be its American news. Sranp-pires and fire-escapes are to be placed upon three or four business build- ings In this city. This is a move in the right direction, and it is hoped that every four-story bullding in Omaha will soon be protected in the same way. The stand- pipe is a great assistance to the firemen, as the hose can be attached to the pipeon the ground floor gnd the water carried to any height in the building. This does away with the carrying up of hose ona shaky ladder. By means of the fire es- cape the firemen can easily and quickly reach any floor of a building, ONE of the most recent eloctrical in- ventions is a telephone to be used at sea, It consists of the ordinary appliances supplemented by a reel from which the cable is pald out over the stern or side of the boat. An argument advanced in favor of this new application of the tele- phone is that it can be used by ocean steamships in fogs. A small boat or launch can be gent a few hundred feot and used as a scout to the steamer; mak- ing soundings, and kaeping a lookout, meanwhile telephoning back anything of Importance to the oflicers of tho deck. A Puruapenrnia preacher of the Second Adventist persuasion, has given the timid sinners of that city a shaking up by his awmertion that gin was the caure of tho late earth- quake. The recent disturbance was a forerunner of others to follow, and the sigus of the times point to a spoedy com- ing of Christ when, according to the Ad- ventists' belief, all the dead will be liter- and property owners outside of Omaha, order ticket, and the majority of the wo- men voters joineditwith great enthusiasm and withont regard to the views or wishes of jars have occurred, aud many married ally raised and ascend on high, The at- tendance at the churches of this denomi- nation in Philadelphia has been much in- creased by the earthquake, which goes to show that a seismic dlsturbance produces some good results after all, The trouble is that it is so long between shocks that that the converted are liable to forget the warning and backslide, Tax prohibition issue will inently figure in Yowa politics in this cawpaign. The question came up in the Towa state republican convention in the fight for the supreme judgeship. Judge Rothrock, the present incumbent, was nominated by an overwhelming majority over C, 0. Nourse. A special dispatch to the Bre says that the endorsement of Rothrock settles forever the question ot prohibition in Jowa. Accordivg to the lowa state Leader the Mothodist mi ters and the radical prohibitlon wing of the party knifed Rothrock, and threat- eued before the convention, if Nourse ehould be defeated, that they would put a8t John electoral ticket in the field. Rothrock, however, will be elected, as he will receive a large number of votes from auti-prohibition democrats, The action of the republican convention in so handsomely endorsing him shows thst the majority of the republicans of lowa are not in favor of prohibition, but rather favor the regulation of the liquor traffic by high license, such as has been ‘adopt~ « and succeesfally put in operation in Nebraska, | Cuvscn Hows says that the manner of ag similar cases have arisen in various | parts of the stato, and the result of ~this | cage has been awaited with a great deal | of interest. WOMEN AS VOTERS AND JU-| RORS. The legislature of Washingson territory | last winter passed & femalo sufftage act, | It was not submitted to tha people,but | went into immediate effect. The first opvortunity afforded for the women of | the territery to vote occurred at the mu- nicipal elections, which wero held a few | week ago. In some towus they voted very generally, and in others only a small fraction of them appeared at the polls. In Soattle, the largest town in the territory, the ministors, temperance agitators and a few politicians got up a boom in favor of a law and husbands, Howover, the women's ticket was badly beaten. The result of this is that numerous family men have made the unpleasant discovery that thoy are possessed of stubborn wives. A feoling of discord has been created, and in some cases the breach has widened to such an extent that it will never be closed. This is one of the un- fortunate features of woman sufieage. In some towns in eastern Washington, where the feature of granting licenses to liquor-sellers was at issue, tho women wero equally solid, but in Yokoma City they divided, forty-two voting a freo whisky ticket and only thirty perance ticket. Itis (uite evident that in Yokoma the majority of women are gov- erned by tho ideas of their husbands Under the euflrage act the women aro subject to jury duly. This is what they dislike above all thinge, and the probability is that the required perfor- manco of this duty will make them wish for the old order of thinga—politics for men and domestic duties for women A correspondent of the Chicago Zribunc ix atem- Bays: Tn most counties the sheriffs put the names of women into the jury box; in somo where they neglected to do so the judges had the error rectified, The women had voted; now they must take their chances with the men, and not shirk the burdens of citizenship, The conspicuous women advoocates of the now suffeage law urged heroism upon the vie- tims of the panel, but most of them pleaded to be excused from serving. Two of the territorial judges are quite lenient, and accepted any kind of excuse, but the third, Judge Green insisted on the women serving unless they had the strongest reasons for staying at home, In one county where by accident no names of women had been drawn he set aside the entirre panel, had the names of female citizens put nto a box by themsolves, and required the sheriff to draw every alternate name from that box. The difliculties of mixed juries of the two sexes became painfully apparent when cases came to be tried of certain classes not uncommon in courts where evidence is given unfit for ladies’ ears, It was even worse in the grand jury rooms. There the women showed the usual feminine tendency to jump to con- clusions and trust to intuition rather than evidence. They wanted to indict people on general principles. Especially was this the case where liquor-selling or the social-ovil were involved, If they could have had their way unhindered they would have hustled hundreds of people off to jail without law or testimo- ny. The lawyers became alarmed at this new element in the jury-room that sought to reform society by the application of the hizher moral law without regard to any part of tne statutes save the penalty clauses. They don't want to argue cases before women, not because they are not intelligent and conscientious, but bevause they seem incapable of weighing evidence without prejudice. f Wikt Point, August 21. Weaver’s nomination will strike terror to the hearta of the democracy. That set- tles it, THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE The history of the service has beon published in a pamphlet Jackson, of the socond division, who furnishes us v\'<h} American railway serintendent concerning in our social and commercial The system of railway mail service this important factor intarcourse, in this | under an admirably arranged system. For thirty years after railroads came into uso the mails were handled carelessly and in a crude manner with littlo or no One of the first reforms waa in the direction of greater despatch, this being necessitated by the increase of This was done by the aban- aystem, businees, donment of the plan of wrapping lotters in packages. Mail matter was then put in closed pouches, and clerks or mes- sengers were sent on mail traing, The messengor system not giving satisfaction, the hagdling of the pouches was transcerrod to the baggagemen, 1t was not until 1860 that anything like our present railway distribution was under- taken, In that year Postmaster Gieneral Holt put on a spocial experimental servico between Washington and New Yorlk. In 1864 Postmaster General Blair, seeing that something must be dono to keep up with the increase of business, held a conferonce of poet-office oflicials of the leading cities, and acting upon their suggestions together with those of his im- mediate subordinates ho started the first railway mail car asan experiment bo- tweon New York and Wash- ington, Improvements were rapid- ly made and the service was extended, as the mail car experiment proved a success, The plan of catching mail bags, by fast trains, at stations where no stops are made, came into op- eration in less thana year afterwards, and railway distribution soon superseded the route agent and pouch-exchanging sys- tem. During the the term of Postmas- tor-Gioneral Creswell the railway mail sorvice was reduced to compactness and thoroughly systematlzed, and sinco that time it has boen further improved. The specinl featuro of fast mail trains has been extended to mnearly all principal points, and it has proved a great success and a benefit which is appreciated by the public. The high standard of the railway ser- vico is due no doubt to the examinations required of postal clerks. *During the fiscal year ending June 80, 1884,” says Mr. Jackson in bis phamplet, ‘802 ex- aminations of permanent clerks were made in the second division, in which 1,659,617 cards representing postoflices were handled. In addition 604 examina- tions were made of probationers on 850,- 239 cards, of which 322,360 were put up correct,” VOTE FOR IT. The constitution of this state provides that members of the legislature shall receive as compensation three dollars a day for attendance at the session, not ex- ceeding forty days. This practically limits tho session to forty days as the members cannot afford to remain at the capital for a longer period without com- ponsation, especially as that pay is hard- ly suflicient to cover their necessary ex- penses, They got no more for their ser- vicos or tho time which they spend at the session; in short not enough to de- sently cover necessary expenses. Three dollars & day - §120 for the session, The logislature at its last session pro- posed au amendment to this featuro of the constitution which provides that each member shull bo paid a salary of $300 for for which he is the term of two yoars, clected, and that each regular session shall be held not less than sixty days. Tnus he will get five dollars o day for the regulur torm of sixty days, if the amendment is adopted,but no com pensation for attending an extra session should one be called. For traveling ex penses ho will got as mileage ten conts a mile each way, the same as he is paid under tho constitution at present. Our legislaturo meots once in two years, It is utterly impossible to do justice to the various subjects which come before the logislature for its consideration and ac- tion, in the brief space of forty days, In. deed sixty days is hardly sufficient. But the proposed amendment is in every way animprovement on the present provisions of the constitution, and it should and doubtless will be adopted. It is to be adopted or rejected at the 'fall election, A Soft Answer, A small, ragged urchin was observed by a phylanthropic old gentleman on Howard street, says The Boston (ilobe, grinding his knuckles into his eyes and howling dolefully, “‘What is the matter, my boy?"” “Feller pasted me in the snoot,” *‘What did you do to him?"’ *‘Nothing sir.

Nearly all of the factories have manufactured large stocks, and are waiting for buyers. Reductions in the west amount to from 10to 18 per cent. The workwmen are preparing to join the Knight of Laber for protection. It is surprising to note how the spirit of organization is stimulated by reduc- tions in wages and how it works to the advantage of the Kuighth of Labor. The statement now generally made, in con- nection with the announcement of a striko is that the strikers are preparing to join the Knights of Labor,and in most cases this step is taken. The Brussel weavers in this city took that course, and the spinners of New England, the wood- workers of the weat, and the glass-work- ers havo also joined, but the member- whip gained in this way is not onsily re- tained, as too much 18 expected of the or. ganization in the way of support and en- couragement, and if expectation are not realized tho newly made members con- sider it a sufficient excuse for them to break away at the first opportunity. The pottery interests are picking up in Trenton and East Liverpool. ‘The de- mand for finer ware 1s increasing, and on account of the decline in cost of produc- tion manufacturers say they are better able to meet foreign competition than heretofore. Besides this, new American pottery is becoming more popular and is finding new markets, and this leads to a steady trade and stimulates produc- tion. In ordinary goods there is a great deal of complaint about low prices, but manufacturers are offsetting this disad- vantage by getting out new styles of su- perior attractiveness. “T'his seems to be an ago of national and international combinations among the wages workers. During the past two weeks notices havebeen made of sev- eral national organizations, and the movement is still spreading. An effort is being made by the tinners and sheot- iron workers of Louisville to form an in- ternational organization, and a great deal of correspondence is going on to that end. Inreference to the reported discharge of several hundred Wheeling workmen on account of the substitution of steel plate for iron nail plate in the nail mills there the question has beenasked: **How does the use of steel nail plate enable manufacturers to do with a faw men the work that required several hundred men heretoforei” The mattor is oasily ex- plained. Iron nail plate is made by a tedious method of hand labor, wherein two men can make about a ton of nail plate n a day. The advantage that steel vlato has over iron is that it is preparcd by the Bessemer steel process. In a Bessemer steel plant a small squad of men will turn out fifty to 100 tons of steel plate with the aid of machinery and through chemical manipulation. The procass of cutting steel nails is precisely the same as that of cutting iron nails Soveral new co-operative companies aro projected,among them one a: (uincy, Mass , by the granite cutters, The pot- ters are seriously talking of co-operation.
