When asked what legislation h> thoug desirable in city aftairs, Cowscilman Als auder said: “You newspaper men ‘jump man so that it becomes diffleult for me to 5 you my ideas in comprehensive form upon the spur of the moment. 1 have, howevel thought some over the question of now legis- lation in city matters, and L will say there is groat need of material changes in the present charter—changes that must be made before much that has been done in other metropol itau cities, and that should be done hore, can be accomplished. ‘or instance, take the question of our public parks. 1 don't care to be considered us over-auxious in the matter, but I firmly be- lieve that the development of a fine system of public parks and parkways would do more to enhance property values and to make us proud of our city than apy other scheme that can be suggested. This would encourage in- dividual effort and result in the beautifying of private as well as public grounds. Before any steps can be takon, however, in that direction the charter must’ be so amended as to give ample authority and facihties for -ying on the work. We have & commission appointed, but no provision has been made for uny expenditure in the way of levies, ete. “Our methods of assossment are very fective. 1 have not yet arrived at a v cided opinion upon this matter, I mean 50 as- to advance a perfected plan‘as to how it should be worlked, but my council experienice Ias shown me the mserablo and unsatisfuc- tory operation of our present system. It amounts to nothing more or less than a per fect farce, 'Take Minucapolis, for mstance. “There they have & city assessor appointed, and he in turn appoints such deputics as may be needed, subject t the approval of the council. His own apyointment is for three years, but the deputics ouly such time as they are actually at work: probably not more than two months in_cach year. They are paid a stuted salary. Percettages or fo are not recognized. “I don’t think there will be any tampering with the police commission. Our people are too well satisfied with the present condition of things to permit any change in that par- - NEED MORE are a good many miuor points in the present charter which can be straigh- tencd out alittle, and doubtless a good many new ones added.” Movements are already on foot in this divection. I certainly hope that plenty of time will be taken to make the amended_charter as nearly perfect as pos- sibie. With a good, broad and liberal chur- ter, and an intelligent and business-like couincil, the improvements in Omaba will be simply ' maguificent during the next fow yeal THE COUNTY POOR. A Talk on the Subject With Superin- tendent Mahoney. The fall in .ie temperature yesterday made & perceptible difference in the business of Supermtendent Manoney's department. There is always a good fat clicntage looking toward the charity of the county disbursed through Mr. Mahone Speaking yesterday upon the prospects of there being a severe winter in Omahba, the superintendent said that as the cold weather sotinso did the applicants for relief com- mence to pile up. 1t is intended to abolish the system of relief orders given Leretofore on city tradesmen for relief stores. This plan will be supplantep by the estublishment of a supply store at the office of the sup tendent in the county building. Thoere will b a large stock of groceries, flour and all the incidentals for the aintenance of the system. Mr. Mahoney figures upon a large increase in Lis ppor poople. There will be probably three hundred or more heads of famiiies re- coiving relief and it is safe to multiply these figures hy four. This will give a large army of pensioners who will receive regular suste- nance during the coming winter. Speaking upon the subject of misplaced chavity, Mr., Mahoney said that in ail charit- able burcaus there was a small percentage of imposition anticipated. Omaha was no different to other large citie: Drunkoen husbands wrought the most mischief. Only that aftornoon @ woman had applicd for as- sistance. She had two littlo bapics and was far advanced in pregnancy. As long as she could she supported her littlo family.” These instances could be duplicated every now and theu, but as a rule the funds of the county did not find their exit into such unsatisfac- tory receptacles, ~'The new store supply system will come into operation on December 1, next. Duving the time Mr. Mahoney wus speaking soveral wretched, half-starved looking women came into the office, secking an_audieuce with the official who distributes the supplies of the department, and their miserable pinched ap- peartince brought to mind a strong hope that the “Lord would temper the wind to the skorn lamb,” Swith and Bevins, he case against Charles J.

An Embarrassing Position. About three-score persons, mostly women, were assembled in the east room of the white house Wednesday afternoon, says the correspondent of the New York iun, They were rathor con ined in manner, conversed in whis- , and scemed, altogether, rather ashamed of themselves for being there at that time. It was the regular d and hour for the president’s public r ception. The main door opened at 1:02, and in walked alavge portly man, clad neatly in a Prince Albert coat and dark trousers, Lis face bearing its usual hue and expression, and his manuer that of aman cutively at ease and perfectly tisfied with everything in gen- eral. The reccption began at once and pussed off as agreeably as possibly If uny visitor with more syinpathy thah tact, made vegretful allusion in passing to certain adverse election returns, it brought no frown to the brow and no change of color to the list This stoical, self-contained man was Grover Cleveland, now president of the United States, and only yesterday defeated for re-election to that office in a manner as unexpected as it was galling, Napoleon could hardly have felt worse at Water loo, but the president of iron nerve be- haved far botter under fire than did the little Corsican, for it was just while the reception was going on thut the repub- licans began to fire a sulute in the lot directly behind the white house, The guns made n great racket, and every shot wolie the echoes and made the v dow’s rattle at the prosident’s very side; but he paid no more attontion to the painful coincidence than he would have paid to some children playing with pop- guns on the sidewalk, - - The Eagle Claws the Parrot. New York Press: The American cagle sonred noross the bay yesterday, uted Mme, Liberty with a graceful curve of obeisance, and alighted on an awning in the Bowery.

The Soldirrs Bepmdiate Cbaplain Nave's Kfferts in Their Behalf. With reforbn®A ¥39ne’ library at thie post the following & mgMufitcation hias been re. ceivod from a privatd @t the fort who signs himself F. A, Bus Inthe issue of November 10 thero was published a reqwest® for a_donation of books 10 the Fort Omaha post library, which con tained some statements which 1 wish to cor roct or modify, §s Well as to express the sen- timents and conmietions of the enlisted mon of this place on-# fatter 8o closely connected with their intefdsts and welfare, The general topp-of the chaplain's letter might creato the impression in the public mind that soldiers, as a class, are unprinoi- pled men of a very low order of intellect, destitute of morals, and governed by vicious habits. Now, any one who will take the pains to inquire into the matter and bo pert ally acquainted with soldiers in al, can find amony them men of education, morals, and intelleptual ability, and men of as sound principle and superior intelligence as he can in any other walk in life he life and ealling of n soldier practically remove him from refined society It is to this fact alone that o large share of the im morality of the rank and file of the arwy is due. Why this is so, favolves a pomnt in social and moral ethics whieh I have not space to discuss. Again, any s of men whose calling dobars them from the socicty of refined and noble women_ inust necessar ily degenerate in morals. And this s not less true of soldiers If there 18 any book, or sot of books, that will wield the same in. fluouce over a man and enhance and elevate his moral character as much as social inter. courso with women of refined and cultured tastes, T have never heard of them. We have a post library that contains a large numbor of choice works by the best authors, which includes history, ancient and modern, biographics of great wen, trav and explorations, philosophy, poetry and v rious sciences, besides numerous encyclo- dedias, cssays, sermons and books of a relig- 10us eharacter, 1 dare say that two-thirds of the enlistod men of tho garrison have never read half of them. Therc is also a reading room in connection with the library, whero all the leading daily and weekly newpapers and popular monthlies and periodicals are Tept on file. There is a_provision in the army regula- tious for a post fund at ail the military posts, and a part of this fanid is to be used for sup plying and maintaining a post library and reading-room, and all_enlisted men of the DOt have reo acooss to it. Bosides, if w wanted more books than could be furnished us by post fund, we couid make up a col tion” among ourselves and purchase them. We often do this to purchiase table ware for our mess halls, and other things not furnished to us by the government. 13ut in this case we have not been asked by the post chaplain, or any one else to give anything towards re- plenishing the library, 1 think that any of us who patronize the library would rathor give 25 per cont, or more if necessary, of his next mouth’s pay. toward a library fund thun be dependent on charity for our reading mat- tor. I'think that _tho Second United States jn- fantry is equal in intelligence to any other regiuent in the United States army, and that the American arny, g8 a whole is"equal, if ot superior, in “intcfligence to any other 'my fn the world, T am persounlly acquainted with several cnlisted men in_ the post who received o col- legiate education, and ' who take a deep sin- terest in, and hirde wntellizent views oo the great political and social issues of the day There areothers who ivere denied the advans suge of an early ‘gducdtion that are making the most of their neagre opportunities, and spend the greatey part! of their spare ‘time roading and studying " educational books and literature. Quite & number aro pursuing reg- ular courses of stidy and reading, with n lit- erary or scientific’ object in view. These men (of whom the writer is onc), and others of similar tastes, aro gbundantly able to pur- chase their own books, as good books may be had very cheap woy-atdays, and a small per- centage of a soldier’s monthly pay will bu, him?all the books, that hé has' time to- read carefully, though{fally, aud with prodt to himself, 4 Our chaplain is a very worthy man, and we have no doubt but that ne is interested in improving the moral tone of the enlisted men and placing the means of acquiring knowl- edge before them. And while we appreciate the motive that induced him to make a re- quest for a donation of books, yet we can but feel that he has made a mistake and placed us in a compromisinz condition. We are neithor zars nor paupers, dependent on public or te charity for mental food, or for the means of self-culture and intelicctual ad vancement. Any soldier of literary tastes, orwho has a desire to advance Limself in any branch of ey to improve his moral nature, has v of mouney to pur- cliase such books, and as many of them as his tastes may require; while those who squander their pay at the saloon or gaming tuble would not read any books that might be placed in their rcach. If the chapluin wishes to improve tho morals and intellect of the enlisted men of the army he should strike at the root of the evil and not be trying to prune a fow of its branches. He should use his nfluence_towards securing an amend- mont or a modification of existing regulations governing the enlistment of young men, s0 as to require them to pass i thorough examina- tion in the ordinury branches of education and furnish_ satisfuctory evidence of a well cstablished moral character. rom the foregoing I think the public will clearly see that any donation of books would not only humble us in their eyes, but that no soldier with any feoling of independent mun- hood, sell-respect, or manly pride would read them. gou- THE COURTS.

Charles Kammerer in Trouble for Selling it. Charles Kammerer, who was convicted in the police court for sclling liquor on election duy, will take an appeal of his case. The testimony which convicted him was that of a man who swore that he had bought a half pint of liguor from Kammerer before S a. m., on election day. Kammerer claims that this was not in violation of the mayor's do- eree, which ordered the saloons closed from from S a. m. to 6p. m. Judge Berka, how- ever, looked at it differently. Heruled that the statutes prohibited entirely the sule of liquor on: election day, with- out rezard to hours, and the statues he maintained were superior to the edict of the mayor. As Kammerer had brok: en the state law, he would have to suffer the penalty—3100 fine. Chief Seavey has written a communication to the liconsing board calling their attention to the fact that Kammerer has been found guilty of breaking the state law, and asks for the revocation of his license, The chief says thut an appeal of Kammorer's case will do no good as he had detectives in the suloon @ number of times during the day who saw Kammerer dealing out liguor, Other places also were watched and other arrests are to follow ‘The Adams® Rirst Train, The first train of the Adams Express com- pany from this city left for Chicago We Ines day night, carrying abont twenty parcels, some of which ‘were obtained in town, while the rest were reccived teansfer.

Jowelers' Review: In the whole range of the mechanical arts it would bo nearly impossible to find another process at once so simple, and so common in prin- ciple, and yet little understood in y, 08 the hardening and tempering Tt was probably this fact which some years ago led tho Institute of Mechanieal Engineers of England to place this subject among those to bo spocially investigated by n committee of its own members, who reported upon 1t in due time, To illustrate the facts of hardening and tempering a cold chisel. which is usually done at one operation, may bo briefly described After heat- ing the pointitis dipped in cold water and thus the tool is hardened. After cooling, the smith hfts the steel from the water and watcnes it _eclosely as the heat romaining in the body of the metal diffuses itself through the hardeued portion As the heat ads the passes from a white lustre to a pale yol- low, to straw 10 & brownish or- ango. Then the point is dropped into water uin, in the full contidenco that, after cooling, the temper will be that desired. If the smith delayed the brown would become dappled with purple, and would then pass into full purple, light blue, full blue. dark blues and each temper would give its own temper upon cooling, as bright blue for ~ swords and wateh springs, dark blue for saws, ¢, Thes re the well known facts, and yet their “how™ aud “‘why' has always been equally & mystory to the artist and the scientist, althougli upon the correct solution of the problem depends so im- 'ml'!;ul\ a matter as kinowledge of how Jest to reach that judicious compromise which would blend the maximum of hardness and toughness. Now. cither can be procured at ploasure, as the colder the bath the havder the steel and the slower (as in oil) the tougher but extrome hardness is produced at the strength of tenacity, and vice versa, The committee’s conclusion was sug- gosted Dby Ddison’s cxperiments upon wire, which he made public in 1879, These experiments showed that inc deseent platinum wiro brcame coverod with minute fissures, due to the expivn- tion of the oceluded gases under the ne- tion of heat, and that when the wire was cooled in a vacuum the lissures closed. By a suceossion of heatings and coolings the were entirely ex- pelled, and the platinum hoeame much harder and densc As the committee suggests, it may be that the first and extreme heat dries out the gases oc- cluded at ordinary temperature, thus producing the densenoss of havd steel- When the metal is slightly heated, as in tempering, reabsorption be- gins, and the characteristic colors are due to the changes in the sur- , the gradual opening of minute which ave produced by this re- absorption. In connection with this latest theory may be mentioned one or two earlier ones. One is that when steel 3is heated the earbon become amorphous and the steel is soft, while 1f cooled quickly the carbon cerystalizes, taking the properties of dinmond, and the steel bocomes as it were, dinmond set in iron. This theory of Julien's is, porhaps. the most striking one. but while accounting for hardness, it does not explain the temper of steel, to say nothing of objections to the postulated liquefaction of carbons.
