Show may the extortions of the ice companies
be escaped?" is the question at taxing the
brains of every New Yorker whose business
compels him to deal largely in this article. In
Il cir perplexity they remember the invention of
Professor Lowe, and call to mind that the ice he
manufactured was better than the snow-cakes
which this summers ice-carts too often leave at
ones door. The only question with respect to
Professor loves method was whether it could
be made generally practicable. His apparatus,
it will be remembered, consisted of a steam
engine, gas-pump vessel filed with tubes
containing the water to be frozen, and an india
rubber bag to receive the carbonic acid after it
has been used in freezing the water. According
to the experiments made with this apparatus
three or four years ago, more than thousand
pounds of ice were produced in a few hours.
These are facts worth remembering to heads of
families who pay as much as $3.50 for every
hundred pounds of ice, almost four times as
much as was asked last year. Forty cents per
hundred pounds was then the average price in
ills city. ALI BABA.

The Congressional Question.

The Green County Republican, pub
lished Mt Monroe, says:
The Grant County Herald comes
out for Hazelton for Congress and
says: considering the power OF
Grant County by force of her Repub-
lican majority, both in the Congress-
ional District and the State, we re-
cognize; the claims of no County in
the District as paramount to hers for
the succession"
We find no fault with old Grant
for presenting a candidate, and bold
ly asserting her Republican party
most nobly ; and no County can put
in claim with better grace than
Grant can.
As the slate has been made IN by
outsiders, Green is counted on avs
"badly mixed" and we guess that
is so. who our six delegates may
go for is uncertain. We admit it is
questionable whether a candidate
will be brought forward from this
County We wish it were otherwise
for we have as good material, in our
humble opinion, as any other County
can boast of, out of which to make a
Member of Congress. But in conse-
quence of little, "unpleasantness"
in our affairs, it will most likely not
be considered worth while to make
an attempt to unite on candidate
from home.
Such being the situation, SO far as
we are concerned, it may be relied on
that Green County will 90 for the
Candidate whom she believes to be
the best man to represent the Dis
trict, without regard to which Coun-
ty he may hail from.

Home VS.. Foreign Manufactures.

The rapid growth of American
manufactures and the superior ex-
cellence and finish of the manufac-
tured wares is already attracting no.
tees of commentator from our
Transatlantic neighbors. A recent
number of the London Times says:
Birmingham, a few years ago,
supplied the United States with
edge tools, farm implements, and va
rious smaller wares. 1t does so no
longer nor is the cause to be sought
merely in the American tariff. 1t IS
found that the manufacturers of
America actually supersede us, not
only in their own, but in foreign
markets and in our colonies, and the
Birmingham Chamber has the sagac-
ity to discover and the courage to
declare that this is owing to the supe-
riority of American goods. The
Americans succeed in supplanting us
by novelty of construction and ex-
cellence of make. They do not at
tempt TO undersell us in the mere
matter of price. Our goods may
still be the cheapest, but they are no
longer the best, and in countries
where an axe, for instance, is an in
disDensible implement, the best ar
ticle is the cheapest, whatever it
may cost. Settlers and emigrants
soon find this out, and they have
found it out to the prejudice of Bir-
mingham trade. The true cause of
our defeat must be attributed TO the
greater aptitude of many of the for
eign workmen, and their intelligence,
which induces them to seize every
opportunity of improving their man
ufactures."
This is strictly true and but a very
small fraction Of the truth which can
and will be said in reference to Amer
lean manufactures Of all descriptions.
Until recently almost every article
OF superior quality and finish in use
was either manufactured abroad or
had to bear foreign stamp, to max e
it either saleable or fashionable.
Thls state of things is rapidly chang
ing and experi fence is daily proving
that American skill will soon not
only keep out British and other for
eign goods from our own market,
but will enable us to successfully
compete with and secure demand
from the very places upon which the
country has heretofore relied for
supplies. 1t is gratifying to note
that our citizens are fast becoming
convinced that an article, to be dur
able, highly finished and beautiful
need not be foreign; and if leading
buyers will make home manufacture
ed articles fashionable, our manufac
turers will need no other tariff or pro-
lection to bring about an abundant
supply. Birmingham will no longer
be needed to supply us with edge
tools and farming implements; Shelf
field cutlery will fail to compete
with our own; Brussels must weave
her carpeting and laces for other
markets and France and Germany
will have no more demands upon
them for watches, jewelry or finery.

The Union Pacific Railroad.

The Union Pacific Railroad
Company are making surveys fol
new routes, in extension Of their
line from Salt Lake valley to
the Pacific coast, north Of the
Central Pacific or existing line
One of these lines is down the
Snake and Columbia rivers to
Oregon. Another runs through
Southern Idaho, Northern Neva-
da, and crosses the Sierra Neva-
da by the Madeline Pass, which
.is only 5000 feet high, into the
northern part of the Sacramento
valley. From the Madeline Pass
q line could readily be turned
north, through the Klamath lake
country, into the Willamette
valley in Oregon. But none OF
these projects hold any promise
of early realization; they are
simply "studies" for future, or a
bit OF bluff game with the Cali
fornia railroad monopolists.

Where our Wheat Exports Go.

A reference to official customs sta
tistics, says the report of the Agri-
cultural Bureau, will show that Great
Britain and her colonies constitute
our main reliance for q market of
our surplus wheat. Few may be
aware how small the quantity taken
by other countries actually is. The
amount of wheat exported in the
fiscal year ending June 81, 1868, was
10, $40, 800 bushels of this but three
por cent. (461, 1913 bushels) failed to
reach British or colonial territory.
The paucity of these expectations
illustrates the futility of attempting
to grow grain to feed the millions of
Europe and Asia, as follows France,
6O,763 bushels; Portugal, SO, 100
Belgium, 34,726; China, 29, 1872 Ven
ezlela, 23,364 ; Peru, 20,2S9 Hol-
land, 1000; PHILIPPINE Islands, 1.119.
Cuba, 500; Dutch West Indies. 400:
Mexico, 5 bushels-total 46l,19S
Dushels. Inc practical deduction
from these figures is, that there is
but one country in the world to
which we can look for market for
wheat, and to that only for small
portion OF Der supply, and that por-
ton al prices competing with the
markets Of the entire globe. The
prices Of 1869, as compared with
those of 1868 represent reduction
in the aggregate sent to Great Brit
ain OF eight millions of dollars. If,
as is asserted, the prices of exports
control domestic prices, the reduction
OF the value Of the home consumption
is equivalent to far more than the
amount received from the entire ex-
ports OF 1869, and the farmers would
have received more money if this
surplus had been allowed to rot.

Decrease in the Negro Population

Following the war Iachrymose
philanthropists Of the Confederate
persuasion assured us that Sambo,
his wife, and little ones would rapid
ly disappear from the earth. And
now, while yearning for the flesh pots
of slavery, they triumphantly point
to South Carolina and Alabama as
furnishing the fnlfillment of their
prophecies. While, they assert, there
were 10000 negroes in the former
State in 1860, there are now only
$4,000; and that against 435, 00O
negroes in Alabama ten years ago
there are at present only 422, 445.-
Assuming these figures to be correct
they certainly do not furnish any ev
idence of an alarming diminution in
the numbers of Southern freedmen
Indeed when we take into considera
ton the vicissitudes to which they
were exposed during the rebellion,
the persecution which they nave en-.
dured, the large number who have
migrated north and west of the Mis-
sissippi, together with the fact that
they have just passed through the
most remarkable oftransition periods
the wonder is that they should not
have experienced greater diminu-
ton in numbers. All this talk about
he ultimate disappearance Of the
liberated blacks because of their lib
Grafton is nonsense. Poor Pickings
went to his grave predicting that the
poor freedmen" as he called them
would be gradually driven by starva
ton and want down to the sea shores
there to subsist on shrimps, oysters
and such other sea food as they nigh
obtain. But the grass is hardly

A Remarkable Community.

There is q remarkable community
living in Iowa, near Dubuque, who
call themselves the "Christian Bro
TIERS" They have q monastery up
on one Of the highest Mississippi
bluffs, approached by a rough and
rocky road, They wear the garb
which is the identical pattern Of that
worn by ST. Bernard in the sixth
century. Not change has been
made during the twelve centuries
that have elapsed since Ike death Of
that saint. A great deal Of time is
devoted to religious exercises AT
two O'Clock in the morning they re-
pair to the chapel and devote the
balance Of the time until daylight to
prayer. They are exceedingly alb
stemious in their food, and observe
all the rules Of the society rigidly.-
Some of them have beenthere twenty
ty and few about thirty years. Their
religious belief is the Roman Catho-
lie, and they are forbidden to marry.
Women are never allowed in their
place Of worship under any circcum-
stances. After certain time they take
upon themselves VOW never to speak
aloud, and a number have kept that
vow for twenty years. Such is the
human seclusion of this community.

The Fenian Failure

Inc late movement of the Fenians
for the relief of Ireland by way of
Symmese's Hole has resulted in in
glorious failure. According to the
expressive word OF the kilograms. it
has collapsed. Ill-considered in plan.
the plan executed with uncommon
shiftlessness, nothing but failure
could have been expected by any one
who gave the subject a moments
calm reflection.
IL is, perhaps, safe to say that a
majority of the American people
sympathize with the leading Fenian
idea-the improvement of the Irish
people and the abolition of govern
ment wrongs under " hich they have
long grievously suffered. And this
has had the effect of bunting our
senslblllties to the gravity of the of
tense OF the Fenian leaders against
the United States, in here fitting out
their hostile expeditions against a
government with which we are on
the most friendly relations. The Fe-
mans of this country, being citizens
OF the republic, enjoying its protec-
ton, should obey its laws, respect it's
laws, respect its treaties, and bow in
difference to its ideas of internal JUS
tlce. And such would be the course
OF conduct, we have no doubt, of the
great body of Fenians. Ola gener-
GUS, trustful, enthusiastic nature,
they have been made the dupes of de-
signing men who have collected large
sums of money in the aggregate from
thousands of poor people, got up a
hurrah, and now retire with their
pockets full of money, and their de-
iuded followers shamed, defeated, and
some OF them killed. Meantime, the
Irish cause has not advanced q peg,
but has been rather injured, and the
peace and quiet of the United States
seriously threatened.
There is this good result which has
come from the recent failure: 1t
has opened the eyes of nearly all the
Fenians themselves to the fact that
they have been deceived and duped
by their leaders. This is so generally
the opinion of the rank and file OF
the Fenians that we may safely say
there will not be another Ferian-
Canadian raid during this generation
The wrongs of Ireland will be right
ed in better way than with money
contributed from the hard, earned
savings of servant girls and laborers
to carry out absurd plans of cam
paign in North America. 1t is scar
cely possible we think, for self-con-
stituted Fenian leaders to recover the
cause from the complete collapse in
which their own premature and i'll
considered action has placed it, to the
hearty indignation of the great mass
OF the Fenians Intensely IS Chicago
