IN THIS country, save that of the preceding
night on the Thames enkankment, has the
Jaolochkotf candle burned so steadily as an

ana unsteadiness for the first quarter of an
hour, but afterwerd the light was almost as
steady as 1t was intense. The quality of
light thrown down into harrington street
from the electric lamps, one on
each side of the bridge, excited
some astonishment among those who
had not witnessed the effect of the lamp at
Bllllngsgate and on the embankment in
Illuminating the river. The quality of the

establishing it firmly in public favor, and

Even the church seems to shut it's eyes to
the enormity of the crimes that are being
committed almost in the shadow of the sane
tuary. Some remedial agency is great
ly needed; but where shall we look
for it? AS long as merchants, bankers and
corporations prefer to compromise with de-
faulters that they may procure part of the
plunder they have taken, rather than prop
erly punish them at law, defalcations will
continue to increase in number and amount,
until those who have money will fear to en-
trust it to others, and iron boxes will take
the place of banks, and Investments will al
most entirely cease. We need above all
other things few men who love Justice
rather than money, and who will make an
example of few of those who prove recre-
ant to their trust By this means the ten
dency now so prevalent will be checked, but
by no other. A fearless course on the part
of some of those who have been defrauded
in dealing with the thieves of high degree
will have more salutary influence on the
morals of the community than thousand

Ibis is the era of investigations. Congress
has had its hands full for the past three or
four years. The navy department., the treas
ury department.: the Indian department., and
the management of several of the bureaus
have needed an overhauling, while the
frauds in elections have called for inquiry
In all parts of the country. A degree of
moral turpitude has been developed that is
perfectly appalling. Men heretofore held in
high esteem in public lite have been found to
have been guilty of shameless and enormous
robberies, the most barefaced perjury, and
deliberate bribery, to accomplish their pur-
poses.
What has been the effect of these dis
closures upon the moral sense of the COM
munity? Is it not possible that the defalca-
tlons that have been so numerous in public
life and the immunity from punishment
which the perpetrators have had, has stimu-
lated persons in private life to like trans
gresslons of the moral law? When man
enjoying the public confidence and public
trusts sees these gigantic robberies, seldom or
never followed by prosecution or punish
ment, the inquiry naturally arises in his
mind, "Why cannot I, who am poor, make
myself independent by taking a little of that
which is entrusted to my care? It would,
perhaps, not be missed until I have had an
opportunity to return it, Thus he is led to
enter into speculation with the money of
other people, and whether success or failure
attends his first efforts he is impel]ed to take
more and more, either with a view to in
creasing his profits or retrieving his losses.
When discovery comes, as come it must
eventually, his punishment and disgrace or
his escape from either largely depends upon
the amount of his defalcation. If he has
taken few thousands and is unable to
make restitution, he soon sees the inside of
prison. bars, and comes forth a convicted
felon, disgraced for all time and probably
deserted by both friends and family. IF his
peculations have been large, he is generally
able to effect compromise by making par
tlal restitution, and goes forth into the
world with an impudent self-assertion
that IS attractive to those with a desire to
transgress in like manner, and terribly per-
nicious in its influence.

KncW Ho,U to attract Immigration.
~, r;o~


The Minnesota people know how to attract
immigration. Besides sending special agents
to Europe to drum up Inhabitants and keeping
a special agent at New York. the State issues an
admirably descriptive pamphlet every year in
several languages. Seventy thousand copies
in English were issued and widely distributed
last year, while as many more were sent forth
in the German and Scandinavian languages.
Not less than 250,0O0 copies of the pamphlet
will be issued this year. The result Of this
enterprise is that immigrants have
been pouring into the State, notwith-
standing the extreme cold of the winters. 1t
is stated that five of the Minnesota pamphlets
recently sent east by St. Paul business house,
brought five families to the State and $3.50, 900
or $4,000 in money. The Mennouites bring
great quantities of gold. This enterprise is
the secret of the marvellous growth of Minne-
sofa. We need some of that spirit in Kentucky.
As a preliminary step, let us show to the world
that murder and lawessness are promptly and
properly punished; let us build up our COM
mon school system, that it may be without re-
proach; let us open our State, with its delight
ful climate and limitless natural wealth, to the
world. There's money in it.

The Rev. DIR. shipman, pastor of Christ
church, New York, has recently come out in
favor of taxing church property. He says
what is protected by the government should
aid in maintaining the government, adding:
~ would like to see all the church property
in the land taxed to the uttermost" Yheo
retically the doctor is no doubt correct, yet
it has come to be recognized principle that
the church is really a part of the police of
the country, restraining people from crime
and elevating the moral tone of the COM
nunity, and on that account is entitled to
exemption from the burden of maintaining
other police agencies. The DOCTORS theory
will not become popular, for churches do not
like to pay taxes any better than individuals.

ELECTRIC LIGHT UNDER GRo11ND

Experimental illumination of the Rolbor,,
Vjaduct.
London News, Dec. 1871
On Saturday night trial of electric light
on the Jablochkof system took place on the
Holborn viaduct, at the request of the COM
missioners of sewers for the city of London.
The experiment was made in the presence of
MIR. William Bassingham, chairman of the
streets commission Mr.. Richard Cox, chair
man OF the sewers commission Col. Hay-
wood, city engineer; Messrs. Shutter, Wal
lace, Blanch, Rudkin and many other mem
bers OF the sewers commission and the street
and market committees. For some time
past Mr.. j. A. Berly, the engineer of the
Soclete Generate d'EIectricite, has
been making preparations for apply
ing the Jablechkoff system of
electric illumination to the Holborn viaduct.
His efforts were much facilitated by the pe-
cul1ar construction of the viaduct itself.
erected in 1869 from the designs of Col.
Haywood. The majority of those who roll
over it, and forget that there was once
place called Holborn Hill, have no idea of
the complex nature of it's substructure, con-
sisting of several series of large vaults, sew
ers and subways, and the various shafts nee
essary for their efficient ventilation. Through
the subways run gas, water and telegraph
pipes, the effect of this arrangement being
that alterations in the gas and water supply
can be made at any time without disturbing
the roadway, the ground having been thus
wisely prepared for any further alteration or
improvement. Mr.. Berly had no great diff
hculty in conducting the connecting wires
from the hut under the viaduct to
the lamp posts above. From the
Gramme duplex machine, driven by twenty
horse power Robey's engine, the wires are
carried along the subways and upward
through the shafts leading to the lamp
columns, and thus to the sscandles'' con-
tanned in the now well known globes. AS
the Jablochkoff candle burns no longer than
an hour and a half, it is necessary, as has
already been explained in the Da5zy Neaos,
to renew the fuel of the lamp within that in
terval by means of the so-called ''commuta-
tor which defects the current from the
extinct candle to fresh one already set up
within the opalescent globe, which contains,
in the present state of the invention, four of
such candles. These ''commutators'' are
judiciously placed in the base of
the lamp-posts on Holborn viaduct.
The trial on Saturday night was a
very good one. Sixteen lamps, placed on
each alternate lamp post between Holborn
