| among the possibilities. On the same
day friday a bill was introduced in
the Senate to repeal the law prohibit
ing the carrying of concealed weapons.
Of course if the Democrats csn get
possession of the arms Of the State, they
wIl not hesitate to appropriate the
guns and pistols to the use and behoof
Of that party. It remains to be seen
whether this wickedly partizan legisla-
ton, breathing a spirit of anarchy, and
disorder, generating popular anxiety,
threatening a reign of terror, If not
foreshadowing an era of blood-shed and
the ultimate destruction of the govern
ment. will receive the serious sanction
of the legislature. 1t cannot be denied
that the successes and gains made by
the Democrats at some of the State
and local elections, have emboldened
them to a degree of insoleuce and pre-
sumption that presages no good to
liberal men and free principles. All
this should admonish Republicans to

E9-The Hon. J. F. Wilson, the able
Congressional Representative of the
first Iowa District has declined a re-
nomination. He says he believes that
before the close of his present term
the great question which now agitates
the public mind will be adjusted and
put to rest. He has no doubt but that
the naxt administration will be Repub-
hcan, with Grant as President. Taking
this view of the situation, he believes
at nc time could his services be better
dispensed with, and therefore announ-
ces his determination to return to pri-
yate life.

hopeful signs.

Under this leading the STATE JOTna
produces this satisfactory information
The late returns of the trade and
commerce of the United States, exhibit
the most satisfactory results. For the
last three years our imports have been
SO enormously in excess of our exports
that heavy shipments of bonds and
gold have been necessary to cancel the
adverse balance against US. During
this era of extravaganza, our financial
condition has been injuriously affected
by the high rate of exchange and conse-
quent high rate of gold, owing to the
demand for both gold and exchange
to pay for the excessive importations
of the last three years.
Suddenly all this has changed. The
total imports for the four months of
November, December, January and
February, were in round numbers S97-
600, coo, while the exports for the same
period reached 1924, 900, 600. We thus
6nd an excess of exports over imports
for these four months of $27, 900, 600, or
SS2,0 00, 900 per annun.
These f CURES lead to the satisfactory
conclusion that we have probably seen
an end of dangerous over-trading, the
result Of national extravaganza. If
this balance Of trade in our favor con
tinues, as we have reason to expect,
there will be no further demand for
bonds and specie for shipment abroad
and hence the greatest obstacle to the
resumption of specie payments is
already removed. Early resumption is
the one thing needful."

Roasting Men, Women and
Children Alive.

Theaccident On the Erie Road should
waken the public mind to the perils of
railroad travelling, and cause a universal
demand for protection against being
roasted alive, says the New York Iri-
6une, "eitherthe manner of heating the
cars must be so arranged that conha-
grafton shall be impossible, or-what is
much better the cars should be made
wholly Of wrought iron and glass. with
not so much as adoor or a window frame,
of any inhanmable substance. The
public have not recovered from the
shock of the horrible picture of armless
and headless bodies roasted at Angola
in the internal fire of wooden cars.
when another terror of the same kind
chills their blood. II 0iH not do TO trifs
nth this matter; the people and the
Legislature must take up the work.
We must insist upon protection. The
Tribune concludes as follows:
Cease you wrangling over the con-
troll of Western communications, and
90 in reVerential sorrow and promise
of better doing to the funerals Of tn csc
victims. Leave Chicago and st. Luois,
and Timbucto and Yokohama to others,
and attend 10 your own legitimate
business. Here are men, women and
children who trusted you to carry them
safely over your road, paid their fares,
and took your word as their security.
Where are they ? Look at the man gled
corpses at Port Jervis, and answer upon
your honor if you are not to a great
degree responsible for the blood of
these victimsl One word to passengers.
and we have done for the present. If
you take passage in a wooden car land
of course you must, since iron cannot
be substituted in a moment, land find a
fire pitch the stove out the window,
if need be; it is better to freeze than
to be roasted to death. There are other
methods of warming cars, aud the
Companies must use them. We must
have no more roasting alive, however
seriously the dividends may suffer-"

TEST YOUR KEROsENE.-In view of the
many lamp explosions resulting almost
invariably from the use of bad kerosene,
we urge upon the heads of families the
importance of testing their oil before
use IN the lamp. This may be readily
done by any man, woman or child, by
neal of a thermometer, a little warm
water and tablespoon full of the oil.
Fill the cup with warm water, to ITO
degrees Fab. Pour the oil on the water;
apply fame to the floating oil by match
or otherwise. If the oil is unsafe it will
take fire, and its use in the lamp is
dangerous, for it is liable to explode.
But if the oil is safe and good it will
not take fire. All persons who sell
kerosene that will not stand the fire
test at Ito degrees are liable to prose
Gu ton.

The Prospective Gold Pre-
MUM.

Among the most important questions
now before the country, is the pre-
MUM on gold, as likely to be affected
by our foreign relations, our financial
legislation, impeachment, the PTesi-
dental canvass, and other exciting
causes. Several months ago the ques.
ton presented a much graver aspect
than now, and in the light of recent
events We have much to strengthen us
in the belief that the tendency of the
gold premium will be steadily down
ward. The threatening aspect of Eu-
ropean affairs, the agitation in Congress
in regard to legislation affecting the
currency, the impeachment of the
President, the unsettled condition of
Southern society, and other causes,
were calculated, a few months since,
to beget alarm as to the future state of
the gold market; but subsequent events
have very materially changed the stu
alton. European politics have become
more settled, and there are no imme-
date apprehensions OF q war. Our ex-
ports are now largely in excess of our
imports, and, after years Of ruinous
over-trading, We have come to that
point when we can calculate upon 8
safe and permanent adjustment of our
imports to our exports. Our production
OF gold is largely in excess Of u av-
erage export of specie, and therefore
no reduction in the stock Of gold need
be apprehended. These are important
considerations in estimating the pro-
spectiVe premium on gold. As to our
domestic affairs, they exhibit nothing
to excite alarm but, on the contrary,
agitation has gradually settled down,
and public confidence is being steadily
restored. Extreme legislation on f.
nancial questions is no longer appre-
hended, and there is but little danger
that the Democratic party will be able
TO carry any measure which will in any
way affect the public credit. As to i'm
parchment, regarding it as a foregone
conclusion, we cannot preceiVe how, by
any possibility, it will enhance the
price of gold. If there ever was q time
when the removal of the President
have had that effect, that time
has passed. With a new administra-
lion, a speedy and permanent recon
5tTuction of the Southern States, and
4 proper enforcement of the revenue
avs, public confidence will berestored
The entire country; and,
ust as the faith of the people in the
stability of the government increases,
will the premium on gold diminish.
The prospect, on the whole, is a very
Encouraging one, and we can see no
,ood reason why any one should hold
,old for higher prices.-PinSbuEgh Com

In boring an artesisn well in Chicago,
at the depth of about twelve hundred
feet a vein of water about eight feet
deep was found with a strong current
passing from the northwest. This fact
was ascertained by lowering into the
bore, by means of a fine wire, a long
lead plummet. The weight would de-
scend steadily until it reached the
stream of water, when it would instan-
~taneously be snatched or jerked out
from the perpendicular line from the
directions indicated. The current of
water is sufficiently strong and rapid
to snatch the heavy lead, and bear it
away, As a fish would an insect, and
carry it beneath the surface of the
river. The daily discharge is 100000
gallons.
