Thelr places are much sought after, but they will not be removed im- mediately. In the first place the May collections for the quarter of the present fiscal year are now nearly due, and henoce any ohange In collectors would be unwise and unbusinesslike, as their bonds cover all such transsctions and securlty to the government might be risked by the appointment of new msn at this time. As to the power of the commissloner or the seoretary of the treasury to make removal of collectors, the attorney-gen- eral has decided that this class does not come within the tenure of office act. Speclal agents the commissioner deems more important than collectors. The present force Is composed of experts, whose places it will be difficalt to fill with competent men, Hence they will have to be removed very gradually. In all probabillty it will be a year or more be. fore they can all be replaced with demo- crats. THE republican party s not troubled 80 much with the care of the colored brother as it was while it had the federal patronage in its hands. The hankering for office is just as strong among the blacksas smong the whites, and the spoils-hunters among the colcred people are now trylng to make thelr peace with Mr. Oleveland. Thoss colorad pap suck— ers who were contlnually growling at the | d republican party for not more lberally providing them with offices, will now havean opportunity to see what the dem- ocrats will do for them, We trust, how- ever, that among the colored brethren there are men who have honor and man- hood enough rot to forget that it was the republican party that enabled the negro to become a free and Independent Amerl- can citizen, THE' telephone has once more demon- strated its usefulness. The Qu'Appelle River Farming Company, in Canada, which has a farm of 13,000 acres under cultlvation, has a telephone covering its property. The mavager directs the dl- visional foremen by telephone at their respective stations, and the foremen send in daily reports to the central station, This system renders the mansgement of the 13,000 acre farm as easy as if it only consisted of thirteen acres. MoxnTANA ought to be converted into one grand blooming flower garden, 1f ail the seeds that ex-Delegate Maglnnis has sent to his constituents are planted. Mr. Maglnnis is stfll in Washington, and although it 1s reliably stated that his princlpal business there is to capture the Montana governorship, he emphatically asserts that his only object in remaining there #o long is to see that his constitu- ents do not get left on seeds, Rep OLoup has not scalped any one for 8o long that he is anxlous to try his hand at it once more to ses whether he has forgotten his old trade. He is very anxlous to experlment on Dr. McGilll- cuddy. If he oan only scalp the doctor he will be fully eatlsfied. The doctor 1s probably prepared to stitch it on again. PENNSYLVANIA celebrated her finst Arbor Day on Thuraday lsst. The city and county officials, park commissloners, road overseers, and other officers all over the state planted trees. The children of the public schools also took an active part in the ceremonies. The plantiog of trees by the school children has evolvea a great deal of poetlc sentiment, Tue Illinols legislature has declined with thanks an Invitation to vlsit the New Orleans exposition. It was a deep- 1ald scheme on the part of the exposition managers to secare & fresh exhibit for the <closing days of the blg show. The Illi- nolslans may be called suckers, but they were not suokers enough to bite at that balt. WazNever s Denver editor runs short of ideas he grinds out an article on “‘sil- ver cofnage.” There is something rad- {cally wrong with a Denver editor when he can not turn out a column on that subject, Tue department librarlans at Wash- ington are not protected by the elvil ser- vice rules, and are therefore on the anx- fous seat.

Waid to Loomis & Andrewe, 1,000 head of cows, $44,000, One of the moit important works under way in the territory s the irvigating canal being dug by the development company. This canal will irrigatoa large tract of country besween the Laramie and Sabille, and make the arid plaia blossom with crops of all kinds, A tuonel, 1,640 feet in length, is being cnt through the mountain, It is 30 fect wide by 7 high. This season the company will irri- ate, from the Sabille, about 600 acres of and. Two bundred 'acres of this will be cultivated snd experimental crops will be planted. It will be possible to judge from the result of this exporiment what the splendid future of o vast region in sgricul- tural development will be. ~ When thousands of acres of waving grain, big potatoes, yellow corn, and succulent grass are to be econ in- stead of the sun-dried plains, the future pos sibilities of Wyoming sustaining_ herself and sending food abroad will be realized.

They had mo work to do, and gathered at the station to chat and chew and learn of the movements of traine. The cnly stove in the station chanced to be in the operator's cftice, and so they swarmed In there. They cecupled all the chalre, and the inbles, and then carried in soap and cracker boxes to sit upon. They were go thick that the agent and the operator couldn’t get around to attend to the fire, couldn't ge5 to his desk to work at his reports, and only with difficulty could he hear the tloking of his instra- ment. Some of those in the crowd were tradesmen to whom the operator owed bills, others were merchants who would take thelr shipping to the other road if he offended them and the father of his girl was there. Therefore, he didn’t like to ask directly for an evscuation of the place. It happened that in the out- skirts of the little town was an imbecile asylam, and a dlspute arlsing as to the correct record of temperature,. the sugges- tlon was made that the operator tele- graph to the asylum, where they bad fine instruments, aud find out exaetly how cold it was. The operator coneented, and with a twinkle in his eys and asmile upon his face began pounding his sender. Soon he paused, and in a few seconds the reply began to tlck, tickety-tick upon the eounder. The operator seized his big blue pencil, and i a bold hand wrote the messsge. As he wrote his eyes twinkled more merrlly than ever, and the losfers in the room eyed him In sllence. The sounder went right on ticking, but soon the operator stopped writing. Evidently he had enough. Selzing his mucilage brush, be gummed the back of the meessge and stuck it upon the wall. The loungers gathered around it, and this is what they read: “Same hero. Cold as blixen, and the darned imbeciles so thick around the stove that we caun’t stir without falling over them. In five minutes the operator was alone. “I¢ beats all, remarked an eld railroad man, ‘‘how sensitive the nerves of en- ineers are when they are on their runs, ‘heir parceptions are wonderfully keen and delicate. The experlenced engineer can tell by the very ‘pull’ of his englnedf everything is right behind him, And as for sigoals, why, no matter how peculiar- ly or under what. dissdvantages they are glven, englneera learn to read the mean- ing of the signaler almost as if they were standing by bis side, When they are out on the road, especially st night, engine ert. All their sonses sre on edge, t were, ready to see, hesr, feel or smell s'gns of danger. Did you ever hear of Jim Flelding, the fireman! No? Well, Jim is dead now; he never got an engine—but de was a sharp on Drink was his weakness. He wasa slave to whisky. Bat when he was ons night run his perceptions were as keon as those of any manl ever heard of. If you never heard of Jim of course you never heard how he prevented a wreck one night in '79. That was the biggest thing Jim ever did, and so nicely illustrates my ides that I'll have to tell it. A bridge had been washed out, and as the track walker who dlscovered it started to signal the npgrflohing passen- ger train he fell down, broke his lantern, and the wind blew the blaza out, The night was 88 datk as pitch, and he had no dry maiches, nor no time to experiment, elther, for the train, N, 8, was coming round the curve. Suddenly he remem- bered that Jim Fieldlng was firing No, 8 that night, and a happy idea struck him, Pulling a bottle ¢ whisky from his pock- ot he held it in his hand. Just as the engine of 20 reached him he jerked the cork out and threw some of the liquor in the air. Exactly as he thought, Jim smolled the liquor and told the englneer to stop. Jim alw: uted ) stop where there was liquor, o made the engioeer believe he bad ssen & danger eignal, and saved the train. That was oov of the finest examples of keon percaptions that 1 ever heard cf, Wonderfal, wasn't it? The Real Pauper Taborer, My, J. Schoenhof, m New York Evening Post, In a report on the splaners and weavers at Ettlingen by the consul st Mannheim we find 1,100 persons employed on the promires. Had the consul stated the amount of raw cotton consumed we could have computed the productiveness of the help. We might have had an explanation why the average weekly earnings of a mill-hand are not more than $2.16 ($2,380 is glven as the pay-roll). Stand. ing by ftself the statement leaves the impression that pauper labor at $2 a woek is & dangorous competitor against New England labor at the average of $06 a week, as In the census year. But, judging from the slze of the mill as nown tome, I do not think that an Amerloan mill of the same extent would use one-half of that number of people, and would turn out more goods Into the n, The great nnmber of people employed in the cotton industry In Germany is rather startling in ita meagre results when brought In comparlson with the great output of Amerioan cotton mills, Gormauy's con- sumptlon of raw cotton s about 300,000, 000 pounds, with 250,000 returned as employed in speolfic ocotton Industries, while America's consumption in spacific cotton Industries 18 750,000,000 pounds, with only 172,000 workers, Comgaring Germany’s produoctiveness with that of Massachuesetts In lgueific cotton Industry by the number of spindles and loome, and the number of hands employed in opfintlng them, we get. the followlng re- sults: Spindles. oms. . .

Sallivan and Paddy Ryan had signed artioles ef agree- ment to fight to a finlsh at Batte on the 16th of June for §2 500 a slde, hss awak- ened a good deal of discussion as to whether under the present law the fight may be permitted here. No copy of the law psssed by the recent legislative scs. sion to prohibit this class ot amussment bas yet been published, and its provi- sions are notyet familiar to the public. The impression has in somo way gono abroad that it ia a weak pieco of logisla- tlon in bo'h form and iateution and that it can be dodged or knocked out as easily as the great John L. has been in the habit of upsetting hls antegonisit. Con. sequently the class (a larg> one) interest- ed in secing the proposed Sullivan-Ryan setto, have arrived at the conclusion that nothing will be done toward preventing the match coming off as advertised, This 1s a mistake. This morning for the purposa of as- cortaining the true inwardness of the bill a reporter called upon Hon, Jno. ¥, For- bis and asked him if the anti-prize fignt- ing bill wss big enough and old enough and strong enough to stop'a fight between Sullivan and Ryan. *‘Well, just let t' em try it!” was the emphatic snswer, ‘‘they’d be landed in the panitentlary inside of thirty days. Not that I wouldn't iike to see this con- test,” he added, ‘‘the onyl one I ever felt I would like to-see. Baut this law 1s plain, pointed, Imperative, and cannot be got around.” “‘What 1s the penalty?” was asked. “‘The penalty Is six months in the pen- {tentiary and not more than $5,000 fine,” replied Mr, Forbls. *‘There seems to*be some question as to lts valldity, aud that it can be stood off,” continued the reporter. “There {s no chance for that,” was the reply It I8 carefully drawn, well word- od, and perfectly valid and constitution: It 18, in fact, with but a fow changes, a copy of the Ohlo statute vpon the sub- ject, which hss already stood the test.” “How about glove fightingi Does It merely prohibit bare knuckle settos, or can it bo evaded by using gloves” “Noj it prohibits prize fighting, wheth- er bare-handed or otherwise. Gloves makes no difference. A slmple contest of skill for polnts would not be included in its prohibition, but any fight to a finish, or with the allegod purpose of fight!ng to a finlsh, comes under its ban. Sallivan and Ryan, under its provisions, will be liable to arrest as soon as they come here, their purpose of fightlog a prize fight beivg previously understood. Mr. Forbis interpretation of the law is, of course, the oorrect one, and while the stopping of tho proposed fight will dlsap. point a good many people and keep & certain amount of money out of Butte, yet the only thing to be done under the o'rcumstances (s to enforce the law, This we are assured will be done. So it msy be eet down as a fact already determined that John L, Sullivan and Paddy Ryan will not fight In.

The sesson only lasts four months—from the first of Apiil to the Slst of July—and the present month will cut a very light figurein the season’s catch, owlng to the fact thet it s too esd.” “Do the ea'mon fishermen make much money?” asked the Chronicle reporter. “‘Not as a rule,” replied the Astorlan, “Oar expenses are very beavy. Aside from tho boat, 8 net costs $500,—if you make It yourself, $360,—snd there is & constant expenditure for repairs. Then each fish; rman owniog his own boat has to hire & map and psy him one-third of the oatch. The heaviest catches of the season rarely exceeded 2,400 fish, and & fair average 1s 1,600, Bome of the un- lucky onos don't catoh 500 salmon durivg the entlre seascn. As & rule, the fisher- men ore dissipated sud profligate, and when tho season I over many of them have to borrow money to pay thelr pas- wage back to San Feanolsco. ‘How many men are engaged In sal hing at the mouth of the Colum. ‘‘Some years back, when the ssason was a good one, fally 15,000 men would be out in their boats. In the season of 1883, a good one by the way, there were oyer 7,000 beats out; last year not over 3,600." “Are not more Ilveslost each eeaton than are reported?” ‘A great many more. I think It safe to say on an average fully five hundred fishermen lose their lives annually at the mouth of the Columbla. Fishing 1s more dangerous there than at any other polnt on the Paclfic const. Most of the lives are lost In attempts to save the nets. 1 was out one day in July, four years ago, when a sudden tquall came up, andin twinkle fully one thousand boats were upset. Over one hundred fishormen lost their Jivos that day. 1 was out In an- other terrible storm one night last year when eighty fishermen wera drowned. Most of ua fish at night, for the reason that In the daytime the water isso clear that the salmon keep away from the nets. On a bright moon- light night, with a calm sea, fishing for salmon {s delightful sport; but on » dark night, when the waves come rolling in fiercely, the vooation of the salmon fisherman {s dangerous beyond expres- slon. I thivk, by the way, that in six out of eyery ten cases the drowning of a fisherman can be put down to his over- indulgence in sirong drink. When the aquall comes he is too much befuddled with whiaky to properly handle his boat.” L —— NEWSPAPER OUTFITS. TO PUBLISHERS.
