Uopubllahoil from the Uao of Ajitit23. ] The republican sluto convention aasem- lea at Lincoln on the 1st any of May , to elect four dclegitos at largo to the iw ional convention. Upon the action of his convention depends to a great extent ho success of tbo party in the impending campaign. If the delegates chuaon to eprcaent Nebraska republicans are in any tainted with the blight of monopoly k will be an avowed admission that the tarty still continues to bo dominated over ly tbo railroads , and cannot hope to mnncipato itself from their dcopoticrulc. S'o matter how loyal republican anti-mo- lopi'lists may bo t tbu cardinal princi- ales of republicanism they will rofmo to upport its candidates this fall if it ia n oregono conclusion that the parly inNo- iraaka merely rcgislcra the dncroo of the ailroad bosses. No matter bow earnest- y wo may des\ro republican RUCCCM wo ould not reconcile republican anti-mo- opoliatn to a support of republican can- idates while railroad attorneys and obbyists are ito most honored represent- tivcs in the councils of the nation. As a incoro friend wo warn republicans of Nebraska against committing thorn- olvca again to the disastrous policy hat baa driven moro than 12,000 rcpub- icans out of the party into the anti-mo- lopoly ranks. The official organ of the Union Pacific ailroad asks the republicans of Nebras ka to aend John M. Thuraton oa delegate largo to Chicago. Will the party rock- defy the known sentiment among ho inusaca , by selecting aa ono of its oprcaontativos in the national convon- ion the chief political attorney and lob- lyiat of the giant monopoly ? Are there no men of approved ability and integrity o bo found in tbo republican ranks out- ido of the corporation employ ? Is the > arty BO slavish and degraded that it can only do honor to men who draw princo- y salaries from railroad monopolies for packing primaries and conventions , brib- ng and debauching legislatures , and sub' ' verting justice in our courts by venal ju ries ? Will the republicans of Nebraska refuse to profit by the bitter experience of the past two years which was duo en tirely to the bulldozing and overreaching policy of such railroad bosses as John M. Thurston ? Four years ago the repub licans of Nebraska could not vote for James A. Garfield without voting for Thurston and Laird , the ono chief loir jjist of the Union Pacific and the other the political attorney of the Burli ton railroad , who were forced upon the elec toral ticket by the monopoly bulldozers , lasn't this man Thuret' i been honored enough in being ma/"ro " an elector at the presidential election of 1880 ? Is the next prcsidcnj- ; again to bo laid under tribute by/'ino Union Pacific railroad througfrxhurston aa a delegate to the national convention ? Lot republican loaders who desire to go before the pee pie next fall calmly reflect before they lend themselves to thia brazen attempt to make the party a moro hewer of wood and drawer of water for railroads. Lot them remember in the language of Van Wyck that the ballot box has its healthy revenges where the mass of the party has beqn overreached or betrayed. TUB residents of Manitoba are strug gling with the Hudson Bay route to Europe again , and a committee of their legislature is trying hard to make them believe.that it is feasible. Thia committee too has procured evidence going to ahovr that the route la open four months in the year , and is 570 miles shorter than the way by Montreal , and 1,050 shorter than by Now York. A railroad can easily bo built from Winnopog to the Bay , an < then , the Canadians think , they will bi free from their present subserviency b the Canadian Pacific monopoly and thi extensions of the American railroads. Nt doubt thia would bo a great relief to th oppressed people of the province , but i will bo hard to show that a railroad buil through a region of almost porpotua onow and ice , and a steamship lin through a route frozen up eight month jn the year are practicable things. Ix is reported from the not very reliable liable source of Cuban revolutionists i Now York that Spain is trying to eel Cuba to Mexico. Those irresponsible parties assort that Mexico has partially consented to the sale , and that Spain is insisting that ttfo United States filial ! become como a party to the transaction by becoming - coming security for Mexico's payments. If this latter ia an indispensable condi tion of the sale , ' it is safe to conclude that it will never take placo. The Uni ted S tat OB will have all it can do to take care of its own financial liabilities with out shouldering any of Mexico's. The fiscal condition of the latter country , moreover , is not auch OB would justify any confidence in her to pay the debt , and this country would eventually have to assume it. That would moan the an nexation of Cuba. .Wo don't want Cuba. Wo might just as well have a title to the mountains in the moon. Wo have no use for any country where the normal condition of the inhabitants ia chronic revolution. Tin : recent speech of Senator Wilsonof of Iowa , in favor of the regulation of railroads , baa attracted n good deal of attention , aa an illustration of the mar vellous and complete change that haa taken place in this gentleman's views in the last few years , It ia recalled with considerable interest that it , is only a abort time since ho appeared before the Iowa legislature and argued against ( he very control of the road * which he now cupporb , and with fully 01 much earneet- B M and eloquence a he now This complete reversal of opinion ive mtUr deMrrM ome * niee thing , owriiinly , to fiUoa oome into the tnouopoJuta . , but throw- . , ? * PjAt - .f I about Iho suddenness of his conversion 'that ' noo3s liglit.

It ia difficult to BCD how any member if confront cin rend the report of the louse cointnitteo on the debts of the Pa- ifio roads , without being convinced that omothing must bo done nt once to pro- cct the government ngainot further rob bery. Cortninly , it loivos no possible [ round whatever for the silly idea of erne timid members that these roads must bo trcntcd tenderly Iho total aum low owed to the government by thcso defaulting corporatioim amounts to $102- 175,312.04. The interest on this is ? 10- , 000,000 , and a not a cent of it is being paid , it ia constantly being added to tbo o the principal. It is plain enough that unlrta something bo done soon , the debt will grow to Mich dimensions that Iho government will never realize it. The doathat the defaulting companies nro xio poor to bo honest ia completely ex ploded by the report. It nho "a that the Jnion Pacific lias 10,000,000 acres of and , which , if sold at the rate prevail- ng in 1880 , would realize enough to pay ta debt to the government twice over , besides this , it lias an annual surplus of over 81,500,000 , a .id its net earnings , without the interest , to bond holders , amount to aboutN8,000,000 in a year. L'lio 35 per cunt which the government will require will not take more than $2 , 800,000 of this. It is evident then that so far aa this road'is concerned , the fault with the proposed lawia not that it ia too severe , but that it ia too lenient. It might have sot about 75 pur cent , of the not earnings without doing any damage , fho total debt now duo from the Union Pacific amounts to $57,544,181. To give t twenty years in which to p.iy it is cer- ainly mild enough. The committee also recall some inter esting facts about the construction of the Jnion Pacifio , which seems to have boon entirely forgotten. ' It cost but $51,000- 000 to build and equip the entire road. Pho government subsidy in th&wos over $27,000,000. The first mortg * * drawn was moro thau $27,000.000 TSoso two contributions tbr.'i'uloro a good deal more han builtimd equipped the road. But ) ? siuca thcso there came in $10,000,009 f land grant bonds , and $10,000.000 of ncomo bonds , and the road waa stocked on SUO.OOO.COU. When the Kansas and Denver Pacific roads wcro consolidated .his stock was increased by the conven ent process of watering to $50,000,000 , , ud subsequently to $60,808,500 at which iguro it now stands. Now that a road which has had all thcso advantages , and rosourcca , and has besides made all its owners rich by extortion and robbofj should refuse- pay its legitimate debt 10 the government is a little too audacious- y dishonest. Really , the best thing thai ; ho government can do is to take posses sion of the entire road and cqueezo the last breath of life out of the infamous corporation that controls it. TUB Western Union , and all other telegraph companies , have made a cut on night rates to fifteen conta bet woo n Now York and a great number of points oaat o ! the Missouri river. With the true mag nanimity charactoristio'of a monopoly , the Western Union officials announced thn their action was not brought about by competition , but only by a philanthropl desire to benefit the public. This pretty little lie , however , is nailed by the sig nificant fact that the reduction only extends tends to pointa where there is compoti tion. To all other places the rates remain main as before. But if competition can make lower rates in one part of the coun try , why can't it in all other parts , who it is once well established ? Therefore why can't ' the people of the west hope f o some alleviation of their burden when th Baltimore it Ohio , or some other lin strings its wires through in this direction CONOIIKSSMAN Beach , of Now York , i about toBot a splendid example to ] statesmen who find themselves unable t got to congress to go into the iuvostigal ing business. Bo wanted a conunissiono appointed to look into the matter of fee < adulterations and when his bill was defeated feated ho very properly undertook to do the work himsslf. Ho is going to make particular examination of the butter offered ferod for snlo in the largo cities , am will hire a chemist at his own expense to perform riio analysis. When he gets through ho will make his own roper to congress , 'supplemented by a speech and statistics. This opens up a way o utilizing a good many congressmen who have hitherto boon only ornamental They can bo set to work at conducting their own investigations. IT may not have been solely on ao count of his white wife that Fred Doug laso waa defeated for chairmanship of th Pittsburg convention of colored men , bu it is certain that hid iccont matrimonia venture has immensely injured his popu larity with his raco. By that step h lost his place of loader forover. Porhap some colored man can toll the difforonc between discriminations against Douglass on account of hia wifo'o color , and dis criminations against other colored men on account of their own color. To th ordinary observer , however , the diil'er once between these things ia entirely to minute to bo Been. A Fatal Mlbtutte. CHICAGO , April 30.

Ho formally notified his con- titucnts that on and after the 4lh of larch , 1885 , ho would retire to private ifo. It was a great effort for him to nako this declaration. It was well re- eivcd and enthusiastically applauded. Ithough retiring to private lifo , Mr. Valentino intimated that ho was willing o hereafter to servo the people , if they hould call upon him. In other words o proposes to stand rondy ns n dark orso. It will thus bo soon that his do- lination is not absolute , but ho might us well have made it BO , for in the future ho ill bo loft in the dark. Mr. Valentino expressed his indigna- ion at the dnmocrah in congress for not laving , long ago , declared forfeited the menrnod railroad land grants. IIo know cry well that ho could Hay this without lurring the feelings of the Union Pacific , vliom ho has served so well. Ho know hat such forfeiture would hurt its rivals , irincipally the Northern Pacific , and icnco ho was in favor of the measure , lad the Union Pacifin any unearned ands Mr. Valentino would have ocn moro guarded in hin remarks. Mr. Valentino's speech , however , gave ; rcat satisfaction to his constituents , par- icularly that portion of it in which ho iado them farewell and declared his in- cation of retiring from public lifo. This waa conceded to bo the most pleasing .hing . that ho could possibly have uttered. 't was a great relief to two-thirds of the convention. The fact of it la that Mr. Valentino's 'otiromont was by no means a voluntary act. it was forced upon him. The en- ire western part of the atato was against lim , and 'oven his own county was op posed to him. Thin explains how J. n HacColl was elected delegate to the na- ional convention. Occurrence and Vuluo of Mica. [ From the Loadvillo Herald. ] A reporter yesterday mot Mr. Hazol- on , a mica minor of many years oxper- once , and obtained the following inter- isting facts concerning this mineral ; rluscovito mica , the ordinary mica of commerce , ia found in nearly all the ; ranito and gnoirssold area of the coun- ry , yet , while abundant , a good qualiity > f mercantile mica is scarce , especially of argo sizes and good quantity. The teal - al annual production of commercial mica n the United States does not exceed 30,000 pounds , the average value of which is $3 4.0 per pound , making n teal - al value of § 1272,000. At present North Carolina produces two-thirds rf air the mira mined in the TTniied Slates. The center of this industry is at Birkorsville , Mitchell County , North Carolina. senator Clingman , a gentleman of eci- entificato knowledge , had noticed in two oVlogical investigations of the formation iffMitchell'County ancient mounds upon which largo forest trees wore growing. Supposing theao mounds to bo the dumps somo'ancient mines worked in prehistor ic time , ho opened several , but found no precious metals , only mica , which ho be lieved worthless. Therefore the explor ation of these mounds was abandoned. A few months later a ' 'cute Yankee" From Oonnoticut , wliilo prospecting the bho county for mineral , and coming upon a mound which Clingman had opened , upon examining the mica , and determin ing its value , soon afterward obtained a lease upon the property in question ind by hia energy and practical know ledge of the business soon made a hand some fortune. At the present time , there are in this section but two mines , that are largo producers , the Cloudlook , now 100 foot deep , and the Bay mine , the most valuable property of its kind in the country , which is being worked at a depth of 300 feet and producing twojtoiis monthly. The Clarrisaa mine near Bnk- oravillo , at one time produced about one- half of the total product of the Umtec States , but after being worked to a deptl oMiC5 feet haa boon abandoned , as ttio vein has pinched and the mine is now very wot. A largo portion of the product of Norll Carolina is mined by farmers who eke out a scanty subatanco by prospecting for this valuable mineral. In this mica bull , which is thirty miles wide and ono hundred miles long , the micj is fount near the surface and of as good a quality as at a considerable depth , which ia uu questionably a common experience ov crywhuro , since mica is not as quickly oxidized as other minerals. After the vein ia opened it few feet in depth , s-iy 10 or 20 feet , if no pay mica is found tin prospect is usually abandoned. These quasi minors are well satisfied with the finding of a few pockets yielding $100 to $200 return for a season's labor. It is a notable fact that all the bos mines of North Carolina are of prohiitor ia origin , The ancient people working those mines were doubtless cotompornnp oua with the mound builders of the Olm Valley , since in Chillicotho , Circlcvil'e ' and other places have boon found in the mounds adjacent shoot of mica covorinj human remains ; Mao micas laying upoi ancient altars , ovidcntialy used for aac rifioial purposes , while perforated diski of mica found in graves suggest then were worn as ornaments. Mica mining in the Rocky Mountains haa thus far not proven a very profitably industry , the obstacle to its successfu prosecution bcing'the poor quality of the mica and high price of labor. In tbo Black Hills'u considerable quantity bus boon mined , of a very good quality , bu the largo expense of mining has hithorti rendered the business not profitable. In Now Mexico one or two now mines have boon opened , promising , we are in formed , satisfactory results. Tim pas winter some prospecting haa been done on Current Creek , in the aoutheast sen tion of the South Park , and about 100 pounds of commercial mica luvvo been recently shipped to Philadelphia , but i ia apprehended the cost of productioi wtll bear further dovolopemont in tha section. The quantity is abundant ii Colorado , but most of it U stained am factured. _ Klceirlo Girls. New York Timoi The introduction of illuminated balle girl * haa greatly added to the attraction of the iH'detjcular ttago. GirlsT > ith elec triq lights mi their foreheads and batto { rle concealed in the reccauti of thci clothing first made their appearance < ysarnxo , but as yet the use of illuminat ed girta haa not eprcad ooyond the stage " 'here is , however , a great future await ng the qiand idea of incandescent girls , ml there ia routou to bolicvo that in a cry chert time private houses will bo iglitcd by girls instead or stationary lactiic lights. The formation of the Elcclrio Girl .lighting company is an event second in mportanco only to the invention of olco- ric lights , This company proposes to upply girls of fifty-candle power each in liiantitics to nuit householders , 'ho girls are to bo fad and clothed by tbo ompany , and customers will , ( of course , )0 permitted to select at the company's varohouso whatever kind of girl may iloaso their fancy. A very beautiful design for a front lall girl ia now on exhibition at the com pany's ofllco , Ho. 401) Gold street. The ircsont system of lighting the front hall of a dwelling house has the disadvantage that the light whether it bo a gas lighter or an electric li ht must bo kept burn- ng all the evening , and that a servant nust bo made to answer the bell. Thus hero ia a double expense the cost of the light and the cost of the servant. Cho Elccttic Gitl Lighting company will iirnifih n beautiful cirl of tlfty or a hun dred candle power , who will bo on duty 'rom dusk till midnight or as much later as may bo desired. This girl will remain aeatcct in the hall until some ono rinqa the front door boll , She will then turn on her electric light , open the door , jd- mit the visitor nnd light him into the reception - coption room. Ono girl thus performs the duties of lighting the front hall nnd iinswtiring the boll , und her annual oust . ) much loss than that of a servant and a s light. If , however , any householder lihould dcairo to keep the electric girl constantly burning ana to employ an other servant to answer the bell , there can bo no doubt that the olectrio girl , posing in a picturesque attitude , will add much to the decoration of the bouse. Under the present system electric lumps or gaa burners are fixtures , and cannot bo moved from place to place , The electric' girls , on the contrary , are movable. Ono girl can bo made to give as much light aa a largo sized drawing- room chandelier , and she can bo moved From ono room to another , leading the way to euppor , for example , and placed wherever she can do the most good. There can bo no comparison between a a beautifully designed and chastely exe cuted electric girl and a massive chande- ier that constantly threatens to fall on somebody's head ; and every household er of csthotic instincts will bo ; lad to exchange hia chandeliers for ; irls.An An inexpensive electric girl of ono or ; vro candle-power will bo of great use when a person desires to go from one room to another in a dark house. In- toad of having to carry a candle in his hand and incur the risk of dropping it , or having it blown out by a draught of nir , the happy possessor of an electric ; ir > can turnher on and send her before lim to light the way. The student who s now troubled by the flicker of his gas ight , or hia inability to move the electric iglit from ouo part of his desk to anoth er , can bo made perfectly "happy by an electric girl , with a ground-glass shade , who will take any position that the stu dent IB ay desire in order to throw lighten on hia book or paper. No ono who be comes accustomed to such a girl will ; hink of returning to old-fashioned meth ods of lighting. The new company proposes to furnish ; ho new light at a little lees than the charge made by the Edisoc and Brush jompaniea , and promises that in a short ; ime its light will bo decidedly cheaper than gaa. The Company's plant already : omprises 25CO girls , and both electric boys and footmen will bo at the command of the public as soon as certain expori merits aa to the possibility of enabling elec tric boys to give a steady light are com pleted.
