1t is proposed in England to use
enameled iron plates as a substitute
for roofing states and tiles.
1t is proposed to make stage seem

instead of canvas, and iron frames
instead of the wooden one now en-
plOyed.
A bell weighing 5000 pounds, in

Brooklyn, has been cast at the
foundry of Henry McShane & Co.,
Baltimore.
NJ. Ladiguin, a Russian scientist,
has invented a means of producing
electric light by which it can be OBJ
tanned for general use at One-fifth
the cost of gas.
The bulletin of the American Iron
and Steel Association reports the
condition of the trade at the end of
April as in a estate Of paralysis in
every branch"
The production of wool i'm the
United States during the past four
years was: In 1870, 125, OO0, 900
pounds; in 1871, 112, SOC, 900 pounds;
in 1872, 1875, 600, O00pOunds; in 1878,
las, OO0, 900 pounds.
France last year produced 1885,
600 tons of pig iron, being 200, 900
tons more than in 1872. Her produce
ton of steel was 1851 tons, viz,
64,444 tons cast steel, and 103, 233
tons Bessemer steel.
The Manchester, On. H. Print
Works have passed into the hands
of a new Company, with a capital
stock ofS2, 600, 900, One-halfO of which
has been taken by stockholders of
the old corporation. The works
suffered no discrimination of bust
ness.
A company has been formed in
Pittsfield, Mass, for the purpose of
inducing manufacturers to settle
there by providing them with suita-
BILE buildings and steam power. 1t
has received a gift of twelve acres
of land from a real estate owner and
is erecting a large factory thereon.
The cleansing of cotton which has
been used for Oiling machinery, is
now a regular business in Westville,
Conn. BY the aid of machinery
the oil is extracted from the cotton,
and sold for l%ubricating purposes.
The cotton is then subjected to a
bleaching process, by which it is re-
stored to its original whiteness.
Iron ore has been found for the
first time in Schuylkill County,
Penn, on property within the city
limits of POttsville. This discovery,
which may lead to others, is expect
ed to benefit that section of Penn
sylvania which has hitherto pro-
cured ore for its furnacesfr from places
more or less distant.
The total value of metals mined
in Great Britain last year was Sl1O,-

t~erials, etc, S9,OoO,O 900 Of coal,
S531 400, 900; total, 1851 ,2OO, 900.
The excess of value over 1875 is
about $3.50, 4OO, 900, and is due to the
influence of the combustible ele-
ment, which has attained exception
ally high prices. The increase i'm
the production of coal was 1885,
Gil tons.
The building of wooden ships is
making fair progress at the New
England ship-yards, despite the
preference accorded to iron vessels.
In Newburyport a ship of $500 tons
has been launched, and two others
are building. AT KennebunkpOrt
one of 1000 tons is on the stocks,
while at Richmond one of 1900
tons is building, and the materials
for another of 1000 have been col
lected.

be destroyed or lost, where can we
ever procure an authentic record OF
original locations and surveys.
Why a matter of such vast i'm
portance to our citizens should have
been neglected for eighteen years
passes our comprehension. 1t Is a
well known fact that the original
surveys of Omaha were not very
accurate. Some blocks in the pres
ent business center of this city
cover more ground than others.
Some of the streets are not exactly
parallel. 1t is therefore of the ut
most Importance that the County
Clerks office should contain a relia-
BILE record of these surveys, includ-
ing a copy Of the original maps.
Mayor Chase is on the right track
bnt we hope he will not stop until
the affairs of this city are put on as
sound a basis as those of any well
conducted private corporation.

MUNICIPAL

And now it transpires that the
City of Omaha owns real estate, of
which DO record can be found in
any of our municipal Offices. This
fact was recently brought to the at
tention of Mayor Chase, by parties
who had been occupants of city lots,
about which no mention is made
i'm the abstract book of city property.
This looseness in municipal affairsis
however, only in full keeping with
the i~nexcusable irregularities that
prevail throughout the whole sys-
TEN. Mayor Chase is the
first municipal executive who
has taken the pains TO procure a full
inventory of city property in each
of the various municipal depart
ments, and for this he deserves
great credit. 1t seems to Us, how
ever, that a great corporation like
ZIG eiiN w oAi0iia, hpNAu hdNt
reliable record of every inch of real
estate of which they can claim
ownership. In our opinion a mere
abstract or list, made up by real es-
tate agents, will not fill the bill.
1t should be made the espec-
ial duty of the city attorney,
or some other competent attorney
to carefully examine the county
records for the purpose of ascertain
ing the description and location of
every lot or part of lot owned by
the city. These attorneys should
also investigate the conditions upon
which the city decided or leased her
property, and whether any of the
property sold, donated or leased by
the city, does not revet to the city
by the failure of the purchasers,
granteesor lessees to complywith the
original conditions of the transfer.

regard to fair play and such chivalrous
sense of justice which distinguishes the
legal profession should insure the prompt
correction of an intimation so disparaglng
to prominent member of the legal pro-
fession.
The frivolous objection that the father
of General Chester was in his day q dis
tinguished cusinier, will in no wise affect
the estimation of the son. In the legal
profession, we believe the son OF "a water
carrier" who himself began life IN the
same business, subsequently became Lord
High Chancellor of England. Has not

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ANTOINE.

As the Baton Rouge Grand Era, in
m eddlesome mood, unwisely raised the
ques ton of the right of the Lieutenant
Governor to act in the absence Of the
Cover ncr, at time when no person has
quest toned the right, few words may be
necessary to explain away the false i'm
pre- ssions that may have been created by
the Grand Era'S article, occasioned by
Go vernon Kellogg's present absence from
the city.
The Governor was unexpectedly called
away, and as Lieutenant Governor An
tome had already made arrangements to
be absent and the Governor expected to
return in few days and he did not deem
it necessary that the Lieutenant Govern
or's projected journey should be interfered
with. Governor Kellogg accordingly left,
as we understand, without consulting the
Lieutenant Governor upon the subject.
We are not certain but that the Lieuten-
ant Governor was absent from the
city when the Governor left. If
so he returned in a day or two,
and hiding the Governor absent, deter
mined to remain until he returned, in
order that the public interest might not
suffer. He has been at his Office every
day since, and when necessity has
arisen has exercised the functions of
Governor as provided for by law. This
be has done from sense of duty, and not
from any disposition to thrust himself Of
fensively into the executive Office at a
time when his services were not required
| For the information of the Grand Era we
will state that the Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor are on the best of terms,
| and that no amount of small talk can
break their friendship Or interfere with a
faithful discharge of their public duties.
In attempting to create disturbance be-
tween two high Republican officials at
this time, the Grand Era has not shown
a friendly disposition to the party under
whose banner its editor pretends to
| march.

WHO WAS "OUR INFORMANT"

The small type editor of the PlcdyAne
break out with an eruption OF language
entirely congenial with the associations
whic oh developed the black league canard.
The REPUBLICAN is not a sufficient adept
in the dialect of Gallatin street to reply
in the same language, but it is not to be
deferred by any amount OF bllllngsgate
fir ON demanding in the name and on be-
half of the colored people reply to its
question upon what information did the
Picaytne base its charge of black league,
oroa nized to kill all the white men and
"keep all the women" This IS revolt
ing charge, and upon it has been IN
good part predicated the formation OF
a white league, organized to exclude
the colored people from all chances
to ca m their bread, and to exclude them
also from all representation or other office
We renew the demand for this authority,
or the recantation of the charge so far as
based on such authority. The ques-
ton is too momentous to permit US to DO
so. Did this nickel-less Nckel-by actually
receive this information, or was it simple
device to replenish the treasury? Either
way it will be costly canard to the peo-
pie, and they had better agree to take so
many copies per day without the skull and
crossbones sensation. A good day on the
fourth of July should bring from the
country two thousand people. Each OF
these people would spend on an average
seven dollars and a half This would
amount to $4,000 cash. Pretty good for
one day. How would the money be
spent? With the boats and railroads, at
the hotels, pie shops and stands and in
the stores. Now, to the extent that the
reign of terror proclaimed by the Pic
keeps away one person or one dollar it
impo verishes the city. If the PIC sold
5000 copies at nickel each it gained but
$3.50, while the poor people lost a great
deal more. 1t may be yet time to repair
the mischief. Let the Pic stop its inco-
herent gable and answer. Did it receive
info rmation of the massacre? If so, point
out the informant, that he may prove or
disproye his assertion. This satisfac-
torily settled, people might still come
from the country, and instead of barri-
cad ing themselves in their houses, as some
will probably do, may make the fourth a
day of recreation as usual. We stand for
a reply. Shall we have one?

PROFESSIONAL RIVALRY.

We frequently read in the Picay1,ae le-
gal arguments every way worthy of having
been made and paid for in the forum, and
we have been surprised at the obtuseness
of parties who have not had the wit to
secure such arguments in the courts. We
have now a biographical notice Of Gen
eral Morris Chester snaked into the
editorial apparently by some outside COM
petitor who grows jealous of the expand
ing practice and forensic reputation of
General Chester. The article even goes
so far as to impute an act of I'M
usual Difference on the part of the Legis-
lature of Louisiana to a colored advocate
So strong was this hold, that the Legis-
lature passed a special act to constitute
him a member of the bar of Louisiana, an
honor never bestowed on any white man.
ALI our white lawyers are compelled to
attend the law school and obtain diplomas
therefrOm, or to stand an examination by
committee of old lawyers and by the
Supreme Court. But I. Morris being a
colored man, who once walked through the
Temple in London, and a carpet-bagger,
~ AoU n0NO uuO opOCAoA pAlNlCSO ouA iASSAAoO
without examination, to practice law.
We have been referred to the general
act of February IA, 1873, which admits
American citizens who have studied law
in the legal institutions of France, Ger
many or England, and who have been
admitted to practice in the superior
courts of their respective countries, to
practice in the several courts of Louis
lana
This entities every American citizen,
who may have studied law and been adj
mitted to legal practice in foreign coun-
tries, to professional rights here. When
the right Of legal practice has been &C
corded to distinguished Louisiana coun
sellor by the English government, it was
certainly proper for Louisiana to accord
a similar right of practice to all Ameri-
can students of law admitted to practice
in certain foreign countries, whose doc
trines of common and civil law are the
same as our own. It was simply an inter
national exchange of forensic ability.
England took our Benjamin and we re-
ceived her Chester, and, no doubt, both
countries are entirely satisfied with the
transaction.
We find this a general and excellent en-.
actment. 1t would appear that Mr.. Ches.
ter has availed himself of its provisions
as the son of any gentlemen of our city
who may be admitted to practice in the
courts of France may stick up his shinglt
here alongside with that Of Mr.. Chester
So far, then, as the article of the Pic may
affect the practice Of Mr.. Chester by in
