A FATAL and costly railroad wreck on the Laclfawanua road n few days ago was caused by tlio stinginess of the company in not 'furnishing safe and sound cars.

The idea is to store 'up fn largo artillcial lakes the water which in spring comes from molting Enow on the mountain sides. This vfould enable the channels of the rivers to remain filled throughout the summer nt the time when the water would bo most needed for irrigating the. fields. The Echomo is bolloyod to bo eminehUy practicable , nnd the people of Colorado ehould bestir themselves to reclaim the thousands df acres which are now a waste of sand.

' ' ' The South nntl T rlff Itcform. Wet Iho lensl ot the opslAolfis to a gcn'cralihd fair revision oIho lariff is the attitude Of"a portion of the southern members of congress , who represent manufacturing constituencies , on the subject , hhd Iho f6ellng of a Majority of the people 6f sovorftl feouthotn slal6s in which manufacturing enterprises are developing nnd whcro the condltibtls for iholr growth tire fnvdrablo. It is not questionable that .Senator Brown , ot Georgia , voicedIho.sontimont of a ma jority of the people of that stale in the speech ho recently made in the senate in favor of repealing nil revenue taxes nnd Interfering with llio tariff hs little as possible. ' 'No ' sec tion of this union , " salt ! Ho , "is ns much Interested ns the Boulh in s\is- lalning a liberal nnd just tnrlil , wnich while it raises all the revenue wo ndca .affords nil the incidental protection pos sible to the mtmufaoturing industries of this country. Wo complain that the northern people" have groWn rich by perseverance In martUfuclurlrig under our tariff system. As wo have greatly superior natural advantages , instead ot making war on thorn , suppose wo imi tate their example and go forward In the development of our resources nnd tha" manufacture ) of our raw material , the diversity of our labor , of our crbps and of our productions , and lot us see If wo can not In this wav grow rich nnd ppwcrful , as the people of the north have done , by adopting their line of policy , which created their wealth. In stead of lagging behind and crying out against a policy which has greatly enriched a sister section of the union , lot us go forward as a determ ined competitor" , nnd with our greatly superior advantages finally bear oil the palm of victory in progress , develop ment arid wealth. " The Atlanta Consti tution , the loading pajior of the state , quotes approvingly tiio opinion of a Georgia contemporary that "tlio atroc ious internal revenue laws" should bo repealed , leaving all the revenue of the government to bo derived from the tariff , and says : "If the democrats pro pose to win this year , pni'ty harmony is essential. But the free traders , who nro now managing party affairs in Washington , tlo not Boom to think that harmony is dssontlal. Wo bolio.vo that the BUt-plus is more danger ous to tno country than the tariff , and for that reason wo desire to BOO the surplus reduced. There can bo no reduction of the surplus as long as the internal revenue sys'tom is in opera tion , unless it is the intention of 'the ddmoorats in charge of legislation to plaqo the business interests of the coun try on a free trade basis. " The lariff bill of the majority of the ways and means Cpmmittco is characterized' by the Constitution as a "humbug affair. ' ' ( and those Who support it are told that they arp not in line with the democratic national platform. A similar fooling prevails in other southern slates. Governor Leo , of Vir- gihla'in a late interview , said : ' 'Many of our people think that the north'orn ' states have 'grbWn t-ich under a protec tive tariff , and now 'that industries are just getting. , under May in Vir ginia they would like to have the bene fit of protection a little while , on'tho ' principle that what is * sauce for'the ' 'pooso ' is sauce for the gander. ' " A Very largo majority of the'people of Virginia want the internal revenue taxes swept away , and they are willing if this can bo done that the tariff shall stand as It is. Some of the representatives f om Alabama , Louisiana , Tennessee , West Virginia , and other southern btales , have avo'wed theirhostility to tire tatrlfl" ( changes contompla'tod by the Mills bill and are counted among those who will vote against that measuro. It ia'not ' qticstibnablo tlmt a majority o'f 'tho ' people of the manufacturing sections of the south , nnd perhaps of all of thorn , prefer the Kandall bill to the ono presented as represent ing the views of thd administration , though the former may not go as far as they wish in the removal of internal taxes. Deprecate this situation ns wo may , it cannot bo omitted from-considoration in estimating the chances of securing any legislation nt the present session of congress for reducing the revenue of the government und lightening the burden - don of taxation upon the people. It profeonts an obstacle to tariff reform that is not only immediately formida ble , but fs pretty certain to become Wore so in the future. With the growth of'manufacturing ' in the south the ' 'in ' fant industries" will become mote clamorous for tariff _ _ protection and the 'pooplo of "that sec tion more anxious for the continuance pf tlio poliay to which they ascribe tile progress aiid prosperity of the northern states. Pennsylvania and Ohio clasp hands with Alabama and Georgia in do- fehso'of the tariff , and the grip is likely to grow stronger with time , l cnn- while the situation offers little that is reassuring for the farmers of the cotui- 'try and for the great majority of its wage-workers. T'rtist It is ono thing to propose legislation , but quite another to secure its enact ment. Tlio investigation of trusts re cently prosecuted by a coirimitteo of the Now York legislature fell a good deal short of what wns expected. It has already been noted that while the smaller and relatively unimportant combinations were pretty thoroughly overhauled und made .to show their character and policy M fully ns was necessary , the great trust1 ] which are cauublfl of doing almost boundless harm to the public were permitted to got off with only such information as their wily originators or managers were pleased to give. Tlio committee dealt leniently with such monarchy of monopoly as Hockafellor and Havo- myor , who have tons of millions to show 0.3 the reward of their monopolistic de vices. The investigation will not have been fruitless , howovoi' , If the bill before the Now York legislature "to prevent- mo nopolies aild combinations Intended to restrain , trade or increase the market price of commodities known as neces sities of life" shall become a law. The mca&qrb is as clear mid comprehensive as couluVbo desired , nnd provides that it eh all not'bo lawful to form or enter Into nny sort af combination within the Btalo of Now York for the purpose ot in. nny way cfiti trolling Iho jn-oducfc or pried ot co'rtnin specified articles } among which nro sugaV , deal and oil , or of nny commodity known as a necessity of lite. The penalty for n violation of the provisions ot the hct on the part of n corporation IB the forfeiture ot its corporate franchises , while bvcty Individual or stockholder or director of cbrporntion who shall violate arty ot Iho provisions of Iho act shall bo guilty of misdemeanor , and ovcry agreement , contract or combina tion declared by the act to bo unlawful shall bo absolutely void. Such a law wbuld effectually prevent the organization of trusts or nny similar combinations hi the stale of New York , if rigidly enforced , nnd since that is the headquarters of the most dangerous ot them It would probably bo fatal lo this form of monopoly. If driven out of the commercial motrbp- olis of the country they would hardly attempt lo locate elsewhere , nnd If they should it ia not to bo doubted that other states would nromplly follow llio example of Now York In legislat ing against them. The cbuntry would thus in time got a general system of state laws that would everywhere shul out thcso combinations. In view of this possibility , what are the probable chances of the proposed law passing the Now York legislature ? It is obviously important that such leg islation should begin there , and it is entirely safe to say that the combina tions will spare no effort to prevent this being done. They can nfford to use money without stint nnd they nro not without political power. They will not hesitate to use both. The icsuH will depend upon the honesty of the legislature nnd its loyally to the public interests , and ns legislatures go wo are not warranted In building faith on those qualities. There is gome gratification to bo derived * however , from the fact that the movement for legislation against trusts , whereby they are de clared an evil to bo removed , has been seriously started , for although the con summation so much to bo wished maybe bo delayed , the movement is certain lo eventually accomplish its purpose , and the effect meanwhile will bo 'bqnoficlal ' in keeping public attention directed to the evil nnd perhaps also in checking the growth of these combinations. A Jeivol of Consistency. Hascall is acting like a wolf gnawing atitho stool'rods of the menagerie cage. Ho has gone wild over the city hall in junction , and only makes . himself Ridiculous ; by his n6isy harangues in the council. . It ip a matter of record that ho was ono of the councilmen whoimado ; the tra'do with the commissioners and Wm. A. PaxtJon's agents for tno corner of Eightdenth nnu Ifornam in 18S5. it'was then and there mutually agreed that the claim to the old court house grounds , on which Mr. Paxton has 'erected his mngni'ficent "blockTNv'as giVen up by the county with thovunderstaTid- iiig that the city would erect a city hall opposite to the court house within three years. HaScall know then , as h'o IcnowB now , that the alloy'back'of th'6so lots would ' h'ave to 'bo cut down , and Eighteenth , Nineteenth nnd Douglas streets would have to bo graded to conform with'the grade of Parnam street. Has6all know 'as much about'this jjrHdo when ho 'be came a member'of the present council Us lie does now. And yet he not duly never raisetl his voice in favor of aban doning the location , but wns'commiued publicly to co'ntinifo 'the WOrk on Jtho ' ' uui'lding , and is on record as late as'last December in 'favor of 'the resolution directing the contractors to prodecd with the Work. This 'is hs consistent as liis conduct generally has boon. According to Mr. Hascall , it will cost$150,000 to grade'the ' alloys and streets between Seventeenth and Twentieth , 'This is on a par with all his reckless and barefaced assertions. There are just three bldcks on Douglas street and three blocks between "Farnnm und Douglas streets with the alloys back of them to bo graded. This grading will not cost as milch ns has been expended - ponded in grading Thirteenth street between the railroad bridges and Has- call's walled lot. Instead of $150,000 it 'will "cost less than $30jOOO. Last year's grading of Eleventh strcotwhich Hnscall engineered for the contractors cost over ' $50,000. Suppose the city hall were 'not built on corner Eighteenth and Fnrnaln , would not the city sooner or later bo obliged to grade down'tho hog-back on IJouglas strdot just as it has graded "nhrnoy and 'Leavonworth streets ? Would not the Boo building company , Which will pay fully 85,000 a year in taxes after its building is completed , bo entitled to proper acdominotlatioiis Und protection from floods at Iho alloy ? Sup pose the city sells the corner of Eigh teenth and Farnam , would any capital ist bo willing to erect a costly building on that spot unless ho had assurance that Eighteenth shoot and tlio alloy would bo loyelod down to correspond with Farnam ? Haecall's racket abou.t the cost of grad ing back of the city hall is on a'par ' with his performance of yours tigo when ho hired a brass band nnd built n bon fire in f.-ont ot the Academy of Music , und howled and yelled like a Comanche ta break up a public mooting inside of the Academy. Ho made an utter fail ure then , just as ho has in his recent efforts to dr'own public sentiment by noise and mi.3repr.csentatipn. GOVKIINOH I/EK , of Virginia , in a re cent interview , did not promibo his state for Cleveland with that sanguine con fidence which might have boon ex pected of him. Ho expressed the be lief that Mr. Cleveland would carry Virginia , bub ho admitted that there was n good deal of dissatisfaction among the democrats of the state with the tariff policy of the administration , nnd 'clearly implied that the six thousand majority for Cleveland in 1884 might bo overcome. Since tha action of Senator- elect Barbour in withdrawing'from the state democratic committee , on the ground that ho could not support the policy of the administration , there has 'undoubtedly been a considor&blo change 'in democratic sentiment in Virginia toward Mr. Cleveland , and it fs 'by , no means certain that U will nol bo in- c.rcascd before SWcmber. T"ho truth Istlmt'tllaHlcooUUopresidoht by Vir ginia democrats isnot duo wholly to Ob jections lo his polioy , nnd if ho shall V6- c6lvo their full vote it will bo from a sense of duly to the patty , and tiot po- cause they dcslrtt to endorse hint. Th6ro is very great probability4 however , that ho will not get tjiojfull vole , and if the republicans nominate a man who Is hot objectionable irt'VirgShia they will 1mvo a good fighting , , | hanco In lhat slato. It would scorn that tliO nearer people nro to Mr. Cleveland the less they think of him. CONGliKSSiOJUl , inquiry Into the lard and pork packing industries of tfils country has brought to light the fact that f6rolgn countries have a good ex cuse to keep out our products on the ground of adulteration. Wo have been in the habit of looking Qpon foreign leg islation against the importation ot 6tlr meals ns political and retaliatory inchs- ilres. There lm § never been in this country tests' ahd investigations into Iho wholcsouioncss of our meat and lard such ns every European govornnicnthas subjected our exports to. The ropdrt , therefore , of the Washington exports Is , to say Iho least , startling. Unscrup ulous manufacturers , It seems , hi Iho strife of competition , adullc/ruto / their lard , substitute cottonseed oil , and Use filthy nnd unwholesome parts of hogs tor pure lard. Similar deceptions nro practiced in the meat packing industry. Now that coijgrcss is finding put to what extent adulteration is carried on in thcbo prime neccsaarles of food , string ent measures should bo taken to prevent fraud nnd misrepresentation. The health of the community should bo pro tected against imposition. Tins state farmer's alliance of Minnesota seta is looking into , thq affairs of their ngricultural college , which has been left high nnd dry without' a cent. It appears that congress granted lo tlio state J20.000 acres of land lo establish n college for the benefit of agriculture. But the "Minnesota state university got hold of the procccdsof the sale of nll the agricultural lands and used most of the funds for purposes not intended by ttho original act of congress. At U 'recant convention of thofarmers , a resolution was passed calling on the btato 'legisla ' ture to look Into the affairs of the state university and make it disgorge some thing like eight hundred thousand dollars lars , claimed to-be dub the agricultural college , which the regents 'misappro priated.

Judge Dundy's Heciblon. Clikaoo Herald. The formal decision ol Judge Duhdy , of the United States district cour't ' 'at Omaha , 'follows th'e 'preliminary man date of last week to the Union Pacific road , ordering it to haul the cars 'ten deredby the Bn'rlington system. The decision is 'the ' first igivon gut of its kind , and will bo hotly debated nil bvdr Ame'rlca. The bench applies the United States statutes of 1882 to tlio ca e , and by a coincidence those Btat- utost exactly fit. It 'thus comes 'about that while the Burlington lots its own engineers strike it is able to bring a successful suit , whereby the same action is to ho denied to the Union Paci- 'fio , whom the Burlington may 'per haps suspect of being willing to make the most of the reputed disinclination of its engineers to haul Burlington cars. The decision , in its terms , is not precise. It speaks slightingly of the Cullom law , and it deals with a great number of suppositions in fact , "I sup pose" Is n phrase strikingly frequent. Tlio court declares that no power can prevent a man from stopping work , yet in the same Sentence it warns the brotherhood to avoid , by all means , tlio commission of the offense ngainst the United States that would bo adjudged should the engineers cripple the facili- tics'of the connecting roiid by striking.

It will bo remembered that BotnbWhbco in the OO's , just nftor'tho ' war , the Ghoyonnb Indians wont on the wnrpafli in western ( Kansas nnd comitt- tcd several depredations. The country was'thon wild and 'unsettled , the 'few ' cabins of the ranchmen hero nnfl there nt long distances -across the prairies being the only evidence of human hab itation.

At the tihio the Cheyenne Indians wont on the war path , there wns one company of regular soldiors'gnrrisoiied at Fort Iiyonswhtch was near the Colorado line in the south west corner of Kansas. Ono day the In dians appeared at the military post and signified their intention of leaving the war-path and said they wanted to make po'aco. It was oviflont from their actions that they were honest in their decimations , and the captain in com mand of the post told them ho would have to send word to superior olllcors in another part of the Btato before ho could make peace with them. As there was no telegraphic facilities there at that time , it required several days to send the word. Pending tlio time for nn answer to arrive , the captain assured them of his own friend liness and ibaridd them a United States fla < r to hoist above their camps ns an evidence that they Would not bo mo lested until the answer came. Before the answer from the higher oflicors came , Colonel Chivington and his regi ment of COO or 800 volunteers marched up to the fort ono night and asked tlio captain to join him in an attack upon the Indians. Tlio captain protcbted strongly hgaltist making any attack , and explained the peaceful lolations then existing , showing how unjust an at tack would bo at that timo. Colonel Chivington , it is alleged , would not listen to his view of tlio matter , and ho was determined that his own men should make an attack upon tlio uifsus- pceting Indians that very night. In this fort was Job Bunt , employed as an Indian scout. Colonel Cliivington wanted him to go with tie ] men .mid direct them to the Indian camp. * Bob rofuhod to do this , but ho told mo that Cliivington threatened to shoot him on the spot if ho did not go.

They nro Queen Victoria's favorite gems , and she has made it a point to give each of her daughters a pearl necklace. The pearls of the queen of Italy and her passion for them are well known. As only ono pearl of value is found in about 1,000 shells , hunting thorn is not n very profitable industry. They nro rarely round and rarer still true whito. They nro mostly pink or bluish , often iridescent , and 'in form usually button-shaped or flat on the back. A nearly round white pearl as big w n pea easily brings $200 qr more. The difficulty in matching them makes necklaces eo expensive. More than half llio so-called pearl nccklacks worn even by fashionable ladies nro what are known ns Ttoman pearls , are artillcial.
