'Phis machine, called the Iator,” has done much to cre- ate new interest in the subject of power production and to divect attention to the comparative crudity of existing appli- ances for that purpose. The oscillator unites with the simplest and cheapest form of construction the capacity to use the highest steam pressures and convert the energy which they possess directly into electricity, and the inventor claims | for it that it will reduce by more than one-half the cost of making electrie light. Assuming that the price of this nmodity to the consumer is governed the cost of making it, what a boon the ess of this machine will be to the general public. It is stated that the consumption of gas to that of elec- tricity is still as ten to one, In spite of approximate parity of price, but if an electrie plant could be employed in the production of lieat and power by day as well as of light at night it could profit- ably produce current very much cheaper than it does. A writer in ern journal re- | mirks that the general use of clectric | heat, light and power wounld do much toward raising the standard of cleanli- s and beauty in onr great citie: In- (@ of having boilers and steam en- scattered all over a ¢ plant can be placed where smoke and steam cense to annoy the | neighiborhood.

Mhe principal argument for this recom- ion is found in the review of the during the past 3 when the usual peace routine was i Wl ealls (o sistance in quelling riots United States laws, or v . of United 8 8. There can be no question that the army has had more to do during the past twelve | than for some time previously and that | it there had been more soldiers th night have been less for them to do, General Schofield’s mind the danger inst which this country is now to be suarded Jies in the constant fmminenc of domestic violence of #uch a ¢haracte as warrant the interference of the nilitary authoriti It the army is to be regularly employed to protect inter- state commerce and to do the work which the United States marshals have been accustomed to do the present orce will, e thinks, prove altogether inadequate. Its effective strength should be considerably increased, and he therefore outlines a plan by whicl this can be accomplished at a very small compurative increase in the cost. Two additional regiments of artillery for coast defense and two additional regi- ments to patrol the long lines of rall- & under government protection would meet the existing emergency. Whether the army should be enlarged as the population and resources of the country increase and what is the exact number of soldiers needed by the country today are questions of expedi- ency which those who have special knowledge of the subject ought to de- cide. There seems, however, to be a fallacy in the argument by which Gen- eral Schofield supports his conclusion in the assumption which he makes that domestic violence is to be as frequent in the future us in the immediate past. He infers apparently that congress In- tends to enact no remedial legislation and that the old system of suppression by military force is to become the pre- vailing form of government. With this peaceful citizens will be tempted to take issue. The country will not tolerate the regular enforcement of federal laws at | the point of the bayonet. The people | expect their representatives in congress to devise some way of reaching the causes of the recent labor troubles with- out waiting for themn to manifest them- selves in lawless violence. Aside from this, the army scems to have been of sufficient size to cope with all rioters of the year just past. If there is need to increase the army it must be for reasons other than those emphasized in the commanding general's report. feders report Major months to THE PR'CE OF WHEAT. There is nothing of greater interest to the American farmer than the present and prospective price of the world's great cereal, wheat. That grain has recently been at a lower figure than at any previous time for forty years, and the question is whether it is to im- prove in value or go still lower. The conditions seem to favor the view that the price has not yet touched the low- est point, and this discouraging outlook | ought to command the earnest attention of American farmers. Several years ago the late Secretary Rusk told the wheat producers of this country that jun-y must cease their efforts to neutral ize the low prite of wheat by producing a larger quantity He sald the only proper course lies in a reduction of acreage and production to meet the de- mand of domestic consumption and a normal requ nent for exportation. “The American farmer's hope of re- munerative pric sald Secretary Rusk, “depends upon his gauging his areas in cultivation more closely to the normal demand and not vielug in com- petition with the peasant and serf labor of the entire world. The London Times, probably without any knowledge of the counsel of the late secretary of agriculture, gives similar advice to the American farmer, and it is only fair to assume that it is disinterested. Representative Wilson, in addressing his constituents on hLis return from Eugland, told them that he had given particular attention to the wheat mar- If e shall | past successes ket of the-old world. As the result of his Inquiries he had found that the ex- traordinariiy low price of wheat was due to a’ufifyersal glut and a produc | tion beyend a profitable demand; that not only & the United States increasing 1hs export of wheat and Russin incrensing her principal export of wheat, but Argentina is coming for ward and i& now third in quantity ex- ported to European markets. ITer then, we have conenrrent testimony from different sow . all of hig authority, that the low ce of wh is di to an ey s of production. is not the so-calted demonetization of silver or the alleged appreciation of gold that has reduced the price of the American farmer's wheat, but the fi that the world I been producing this cereal in cess of the de il and that wheteas a few years ago American wheat held precedence in the European markets it now has to meet a formid able and depressing Tompetition from the other wheat-producing conntries of the world, and notably from the Argen tine Republic In the face of these facts w becomes of the of the ates of the free col silver t to the alleged demonetization of silver?

No curtail- ment of the service ever happened while the republican party was in control of it, bt on the cont it was steadily xtended and steadily improved in effi- ciency and nsefulness, There is*to be a different things under this democratie tration. It has been announe postmaster general that the free de- livery system will have to be still further curtailed, hecause of insuflicient appropriations. Over fifty cities and towns entitled to this service have been cut off, and it is understeod the numt will have to be increased. Besid places which had expected to got free delivery will be disappointed. Of course the cominunities that have had the sys- tem and are now deprived of it will be seriously inconvenienced, but that is not a matter of any importance to the party in power. The appropriation by the present congress for the postoflice d partment is a little more than that of the preceding congress, hut is 000 below the department estimate which is shown to have been conservia- tive. It is an example of cconomy for political effect, and as usual in all such cases the people are made to suffer, state of (minis- 1 by the CIVILIZING THE INDI The reports submitted by the agents who took the census of the Indian Ter- are sald to show conclusively that the tribal relation does not prpmote the progress of the Indian toward civ- ilization. On the contrary, it appears that Indian civilization has reached its high-water mark among the so-called five civilized tribes and that no further advancement 18 to be expected by the continued policy of isolation and semi- independence of government. Instead of growing better It seems from the re- | ports of these agents that things ave | becoming worse in the territe in- dicating that. the Indians have gone as far as they ean by themselves aund that without eloser association with white | civilization they must retrograde. Under present conditionis in the Indian Ter- ritory the Indians associate with the worst instead of even the average white lements, and 1€, therefore, constantly lunder evil influence. How damaging | this has been to'them the reports of the | special agents fully set forth. The population of the Indian | ritory is not, 4§ commonly supposed, | most largely made up of Indians. The census enumeriiton gives the population of the country, oeguipied by the five civi lized tribes a¥ %8000, of which the Tn- dians number 6hly 50,000, There are, in round numbers, 100,000 whites and 18, 000 pnegroes and persons of negro de- |scent. Nearly three-fourths of the peo- | ple in the territory are there in suffer- ance, so that the problem with which congress will Lave to deal applies to only a little more than one-fourth of the population. The reports say that the intruders, as the Indians regard the whites and negroes, are living under such temporary and lawless conditions as make it impossible that a fair degree of white civilization should exlst. The Iudiaus would gladly have this element, which Is notoriously bad, expelled from the territory, but this would be an al- the low price of wheat is due | OCTOBER 14, 1804. most Impossible task, which the go ' ernment s not likely to undertake. One of the specinl agents says of the white population: “It s a lamentable fact |that a large per cent of the wh | crowding into this country and wixing with the Indians have no better habits of life than the Tudians, hence the fami lies are not elevated by such associa- tion, and whatever of the bad may be assoclated with the white man or | woman s transmitted to the Indian the whites have but little re the moral law and show but finement.

Railronds in other states might find a profitable lesson to be drawn from this manifesto of the rthern Pacific. Who ever heavd of uraging his men from secking party nominations to ofti ces in which they might be of use to the railroad? The only way to keep the railroads out of politics in Nebraska is to drive them out by administering a rebuke to their candidates that they will not soon forget. 0. According to the annual report of the Western Tnio the company “despite the hard times” earned in the fiscal year 1804 a small surplus over all charges, including dividends at the old rate. The amount ed to the sur- plus is not so t as the previous year by $1,703,733, which is the difference between $3,1 87, the decrease In gross receipts and the §1,422,235, the amount by which expenses were lessened by re- ductions in for nd wage The ex- tensions of the year were casily paid for out of the acenmulations of previous years. So far as the stockholders are concerened, they are unaffected by the hard times, which appear to huve bor down only on the public and the em- ployes. The school hoard keeps right on open- ing up new kindergartens, requiring the employment of additional teacliers, with out regard to the straitened financial condition of the school fund and the inevitable deficit staring it in the face. The board, it seems, will not bring itself down to a relization of the absolute necessity of economizing that is to be foreed upon it by the falling off in reve- nues. What reason can be given for extending the field of the school system when it is with the utmost difficulty that the field now oceupied can be prop- erly covered? Putting money Into less useful adjuncts means taking it away from the more necessary branches. The halt should be called firmly and at once. Politeness in Warfare, Philadelphia Record.

When David B. Hill was nominated for lieutenant governor in 1882 Grover Cleve- land sent his congratulations and said: ow let us go to work and show the people of the state what two bachelor mayors can do” That was twelve years ago. Grover has ceased to be a bachelor, which may ex- plain his present painful indifference to the fato of his former running-mate. Nathan Strauss, the Tammany candidate for mayor of New York, is a man of vast means and a disposition to put it where it will do some practical good. During last winter he maintained four lodging houses in the poorer sections, three coal depots where the poor could buy fuel in small quantities at cost, a depot for general supplies, groceries, provisions, etc., and any number of soup houses for the penniless. Mr. Strauss is a Georgian by birth and 46 years of age. One must scan with diligent care the daily run of dispatches to appreciate the limitless scope and comprehensive accuracy of mod- ern methods in news gathering. Take, for instance, the meeting of Corbett and Fitz- simmons. Every word was falthfully re- corded, every movement noted, and every glance kinetoscopel. Nothing escaped, and a weary public was given the full benefit of heated breath and blow. Even when they glared at each other at nose lengths the ob- serving chronicler saw and noted the shad- ows of a row, Just imagine what emotions must have thrilled his soul during that try- ing moment.
