Instead of tearing him away from his Washlogton friendships and astoolations and sending him to the frontler of the rowdy west, Secretary Endlcott has kinaly sssigned him to duty in the offics of the publioation of the re- bellion records, for the work upon which he has no special quallfioations, This favoritlsm osn only be accounted for by the fact that Lieutenant Lyman is an Intimate friend of Secretary Eadicott, and a brother-in-law of Senator Ed. munds, This s reform and ‘‘resurrec- tlon” of the army with a vengeance, indeed. It will be sume time before Secrotary Endloott will bear the end of the criticisms that will bs made upon his partiality In this Instance, OANALS AND RIVERS, The recent New York canal conference, which recently met at Utlos, was one of the most Important conventlons ever held in that state, The delegates were nearly all influential men, and the result of thelr de- liberations will no doubt prove beneficlal to the canal system of that state, which has become an Important factor i the transportation problem of the country at large. That the canals are of the great- o1t importance as regulators of freight was the unanimous sentiment of the con- vention, and the general feellng was in favor of thelr immedlate improve- ment. It was virtually declded not to look to congress for ald, but to cover he expense of the contemplated improve- ments by state sppropristions, DBoth po. litical partles In the coming etate cam- palgn will no doubt endorse the action of the canal conventlon, and witk such an endorsement the next leglalature ought to have no hesitancy In making liberal appropriations, What the canals are to Now York the Misslasippl and the Mie- souri and their navigable trlbutaries are to the northwest, and their Improvement Is urged by the people of the great graln producing reglons of the Misslasippl and Missouri valleys. From the nature of the water routes of the northwest we must look to congress for the money to pay the expense ¢f Improvement. This is the object of the northwestern waterways convention to be held at St. Paul next month, That convention, which will be largely attended by delo- gates from Minnesots, Iowa, Illinols, Miesour!, Kansas, Nebracka, Dakota and Montana, will thorooghly discues the sub- ject and formulate a petitlon to congress which cannot very conalstently Ignore the claims and demands of the atates and territories that produce the great balk of the grain and live stock of thls country. Somesopy has {aken the troublo of counting up the executlons, legal and 11- legsl, which have occurred In this coun- try 1n the first six months of the current year, and comparing them with the fig- ures of 1884, It appears that in 1884 there were 193 lynchings, an increase of nearly a hundred over 1883. Bat In half of 1885 the number was 99, of which 75 were In ths scuthern states and 24 in the north., Texas has nearly o third of the whole number., In the northern states east of the Missleslpp! there were but three instances in whicha mob *‘tcok the into thelr own hands,” and of theze in Obio. The popu- lor feeling about horse-steallng in tome parts of the country is shown by the fact that that crime ranks next to mur- der £s a provocatlve to mob vlolence. On the other hand, there has been a marked decrease of legal executions, only forty- two persons having been hung by the sheriff in the above slx monthe, sgalnst a total of 123 last yeer. The propossl of some philanthroplsts to put an end to cspltal punishment sounds funny in view of the zxelbit of public feeling on the question. The exlstenco of that penalty and the bellef In an adequate enforce- forcement of the law probably saves as many lives from mob violence as are taken in due course of the law.

Gen, Porter's Grant remin- iscences will no doubt be read with interest, “Grant's memorlal; what shall it be?” is discussed in the North American Review by » symposium of sculptors, painters, architects, wnd art critics, **Shall our national banking eystem be abolished?” is discussed from vari- cus standpoints, *‘Reminiscences of Famous Americans,” by Mr, French, ex-sergeant of wrms of the United States senate, while interesting in many re- spects, is open to criticism In several partic- ulats, Mr, French is considerably of a *gush- e ia relating his anecdotes, and he is aleo in accurate’in some of his statements, Heo is writing & book of his reminiscences, but we question the statement which has been made that “if it cquals this forestallment of the Re- iew, it will be oneof the mo st famous work of modern lituraturs,” That Is predicting al- ogether too much for Mr, French's forthoom- g book, if his article in the Revicw 18 to be aken as a criterion of his style. The Quirer for September comes well fil'ed with choice reading for Sunday as well as for woek day. For week days there is an unusual amount of fiotion, the continaation of the in. teresting serials, besides a number of shorter serials and postry, There are plenty of 1llus- trations, and take 1t for all in all, the numbir in exceptionally attractive, ““The relations of railway managers and em- ployes” in the September Popular Science Monthly deserves a careful reading. *‘Siberia and the Exiles” is an article possessing many Interosting foatures, Anything about Siberia is generally interesting, *‘How spslling dam- ages the mind" is au ingenious paper, the con clusions of which may excite some little dis- cussion and difference of opinion. There are various other instructive papers, The num- ber is unusually rich in valaable matter, Cassell's Famity Magazinecomes laden with the usual amount of popular reading, and the draughtsmen and ongraver have con- tributed their skill to render it attractive, Tho papers describing * ‘I'he Postmen of the World" are continued and are very enter tainiog reading, and the illustrations are very amusiog.

In all the busy bustle of this proudly thriving city there is no scene of anima- tlon, from skirt to skirt of the business centre, to compare with that dally afford- od at the Tenth sireet Unlon Paclfic crosing. A rcore of parallel tracke, in- torlaced with frogs, epurs, switches and overy oontrivance of raill possible to con- ceive, afford facilitles of movement to tho Immense traffic of the road which conters at the frelght and passenger depots hard by. Over this mesh of Iron passes the highway which 1s virtuslly the chief thoroughfare between the two quarters of the city known as the northand tho south and communieating with the tarnpikes leading into tho farm land of southern Douglas and northera Sarpy coanties, If it were not for the fact that fully half the local public is uaacquainted with this portlon of the town, except perhaps through one or two journoys to the trains in all year 'round, there would be no op- opportunity to elicit interest ina picture of it scenes, and the reporter who concelved the notlon to “‘write them up,” as he re- covered hls mutilated hat from under a locomotive's wheels where it had dropped as he dodged danger, would have no warrant for hls tisk. A broad expanse of wooden flyorlng covers the crosting for the purposs of re- duclng the obstruction which the ralls offer to wagon travel. This end, how- ever, 18 but feebly attalned and the pas- sage of the crossing in any conveyance is not remindful of an asphalt drive-way, otherwlse than by viclent contrast. An electrle gong, operated by the occu- pant of & sentry-box affair has been pro- vided by the thoughtful railroad com- pany to warn the public of on-coming trains, but its rattling alarm has a vague significance to the untutored and it rings 8o much and 80 long that to one not pre- viously advlsed it might mean clear track as well as danger. In the midst of a babel of clamorlng gongs, whistle shrleks, ceaseles steam !snorts, rapid hoof beats and rattling vehicles, helghtened by the urging yells of the drivere, the initial operations of » great railway and the local traffic of a big, busy clty are In & dally straggle for the right of way to a fow feet of the thoroughfare. Tho struggle Is of course unequal a3 the motor power of the rail. way hclds such an advantsge as the sacond will not dare to dispute. Who ever heard, except as an accldental oacualty, of a team and wagon faclng a locomotive even under the moat favorable terms of encounter? It s not to be thought of,—anyway as long as the cow- catcher, which is just a3 effective against horses, people, omnibuses, atreet cars and all such things as it s againet cown, Is raled In, “Ding, ding, ding, eto,” pesl the gonga together and the farmer lefsurcly jogging up street, starts wildly to his feet to see tho black ontlines cf a blg box car bearing down vpon him on a raonin, switch, “Look cut!” ‘Hi, there, you old bloke, you'll get killed!” 1s chorused by a half hundred voices, and the granger gives & wild shout to his horees and deals out the lash with a vlgor he thought to have long nuce lost. The old plugs leap from their sleepy pace In veritablo surprise and take up a galloping flight. Bumpety, bump, away they go, bounding over the ratls at the expense of a showering ecat- teration of the old man's msrketable produce, Bat what's the loss of a bushel or g0 of potatoes, apples, tomatoes, or all the “‘garden sass” In the townshlp, for that matter, the old gentleman eecaped injury. Rear and plunge, a splrited horze in a light buggy has taken fright at an ap- proaching engine. No one can blame the beast—the Iron monster as it comes with hiseing exhausts clouding lteelf in stoam, through which it gives succeesive signal blasts,fs enough to frighten anything sua- ceptible of emotions, Stlll the horse stands transfixed in the center of the track, speaking its terror in its quivering flanke, dilating nostrils end woraly re- fusel to budge. The gentleman driver in alarm pliea the whip cruelly b.t to po end. The engineer connot check that heavy frelght behind him in scason and the tragedy seems almost at hand, when an active figure darts from the crowd to the horse's head and literally drags the animal from the rails. A passenger train has st thls moment pulled in and the arrivels sre pouring across the tracks to the street cars, or be- ing taken at & hizsrdous dash by the fearless cabmer:.
