Is it not time that some movement
vas made TO prevent the water from over y

Pedestrians not only find it difficult to
cross the several streets on that avenue
during rain storm, hut for days after are
either compelled to wade th' ough mnd and

crossing. A small amount OF work ut the

THE FUTURE MARSHAL OF
DAKOTA.

The Republican" exaul.s in the hope
that Dr. Cowgirl of Florida will be appoins-
ed marshal of Dakota and attempts to show
the plausibility of his claims for that po-
sition. We admit that be has ! claim upon
the administration for some lucrative ap-
pointment, but not because the Cowgirl
family in past years has sustained rep-
u,ation for "honesty and morality, or be-
cause DR.. Cowgirl has been subjected to
privations and disappoinsments. There
are hundreds of men in The ranks Of the
Republican party who have suffered in
initely more than DR.. Cowgill and who
have no upquestionable qualifications for
The marshalship, but who, unfortunately,
do not happen to be closely allied to
The appointing power at Washington.
DR.. Cowgirl deserves the appointment,
simply as proof of gratitude for all the dir
ty work be has done subsequent to the elec
ton last November. His appointment
would be only, the reward that all illegiti-
mate sovereign owes to corrupt subjects
who lifted him to power and it would be
the basest ingratilude for Mr. Hayes tofor-
get the agencies through which he holds

THE STRIK e.

It il evident from the troubles that have
followed the reduction Of salaries on the
Baltimore and Ohio Road that all the ex-
perience of the past few years has failed
to teach otherwise intelligent men the inn
policy Of attempting to enforce high prices
in the face of depressed labor market.
The wages originally paid to the striking
railway employees seem to have been low
enough, and the men had clear right 10
protest against the reduction, and to leave
their work individually or en- masse, il
they were satisfied that they could better,
afford to do nothing and to earn nothing or
than to remain at work at the reduced,
rates. But if any of their associates had
different idea, and preferred earning a
,uall pittarce to absolute beggary, the

The public has looked CT the telephone,
about which we have heard SO much OF
late, as rather wonderful scientific toy
than thing of practical use. 1t is, In
deed, a great discovery and invention, one
of the most remarkable Of our day, which
may be, and probably will be, greatly de.
veleped in the course of time. But already
it has been extensively put to practical
uae, and has proved that it meets real
want,
In Providence and some other manufac-
turing cities, the agents of the factories
have established communication between
their Offices in town and their mills, ten
or fifteen miles away, by means OF the
,lephone, and they find it works admir-
@ly, is surprisingly cheap, and is easily
ussnegad. A conversation may be 'e'd
boween two persons at the different places
and Ike words heard almost as plainly as
il The persons were ID the ssme room.
Tue sound il ~ dis!.iac. hat you can Dis
tin4u,so the dih,rence Between voice. tell
who L is wltD sim whom you are tele.
phonicaiiy talking.
TIE advantages Of such a method of
Communication are obvious, especially as
no battery is required, no knowledge of
telegraphy is necessary, and anybody i.
equal to tne management Of the jnstru>
ment without any previous training All
that is required is simply to ut your
mouth to the ori6ce of the tele none and
say your say, just as you call through a
speaking tube to person with hi- ear al
the other end. 10 get your answer, you
have only to apply your ear to the te'e-
phone, while the person at the other end Of
the wire, miles away, puts his mouth to
the orifce of the ms rument in his hands
and replies to your question. So far as
known, there is no practical limit to the
distance through which communications
may be made. Gov. Lippitt, for example.
sitting in his Office at Providence, is n
constant telephone communication with
his factories, fifteen miles away and Prof.
Bell, we believe, asserts that there is no
difficulty in talking across the Atlantic,
thus reducing the cost Of transmission of
messages, 30 that it need not exceed that OF
telegraphing the same from New York to
Boston. This claim, however: has yet to
be proved.
1t is plain that in the telephone we have
the germ of great practical discovery.
