almost in that proportion. For the present
We have SO great lead that it is almost
local interest.
All the development of this industry and
traffic shows what may be done tor coun-
try by the application of simple economical
laws. Western production OF cereals ruined
the Eastern raisers of such commodities be-
fore it touched Europe. Then the Eastern
fields fed cattle for market till the Western
raisers solved the problem of transporta-
tion. Eastern farmers had turned their hay
into beef, and now they turned it into milk
and butter, and, where u market for such
fresh and perishable commodities was not
handy. into cheese. Thus from what might
have seemed impending ruin to others the
farmers of this State seized q source OF
wealth surer and richer than any in the
hands OF farmers in any other part OF the
land

Chilean successes In Tar.paoa.

The official report of General Escala, who
commanded the Chilean expeditionary COL
umn at the capture of Pisagua, throws light
upon an event which had been very much
ob-cured by unintelligible and conflicting
Peruvian accounts. While rendering full
justice to the gallantry of the Bolivian de-
tenders of that port General Escala prop
erly claims for his soldiers the credit of
daring exploit, achieved not so much
against the small garrison and their single
gun, as against one of the strongest of nat
ural defensive positions. To fully esti-
mate the difficulty of the capture Of the
height dominating Pisagua it must be borne
in mind that it is, as described by a
HERALD correspondent some months ago,
an almost perpendicular wall rising for a
thousand feet or more to the tableland
occupied by the Bolivian encsmpment. A
few men on the summit could and did sue
cessfully resist for considerable time a
vastly larger force toilsomely climbing up
ward over the narrow rocky pathway. 1t
seems unaccountable that so important q
position and one so obviously likely to be
assailed should have been left without
artillery and with only o skeleton garrison.
The invaders doubtless expected and were
prepared for a more serious resistance The
modest and unassuming tone of General
Escala's report, SO different from the usual
style Of South American bulletins, is calcu-
lated to make a most favorable impression,
and augurs we'll for the enterprise COM
mitted to his hands. 1t is known from
later kilograms that his confidence in his
troops was we'll founded, they having since
gained more than one important success.

Shop Windows.

The man who has not noticed the change
that within u fortnight has come over the
windows of shops and stores in prominent
business streets would do we'll to shield his
ignorance from the various pairs of eyes in
his homo circle. He may have forgotten
that Christmas is coming, hut there is no
such lack Of memory on tho part of
any member of his family who is out
of the cradle, and the shopkeeper
was tho first of all persons to re-
member the approach of the day and to
make appropriate preparations. When he
removed old stock in trade from his win
dows to his shelves nobody seems to know,
but somehow it has disappeared and It's
place is so crowded with new goods, too
lovely for anything, that leisurely walk
through almost any favorite block of retail
stores makes ladies and children almost as
wild as heads of families will be before all
the Christmas bills are paid. The
shopkeepers, bless their thoughtful souls,
have forgotten nobody. From the penny
toy whose price the drudging mother will
steal from her share of loaf Of bread to
the diamond set which her employers
daughter knows will be her own IL her
lover has the heart of man, the shop
windows display everything. Never be'

Tho Privacy Of Photographic Dispatches.

The Western Union Telegraph Company
is said to have joined issue with the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
touching Its liability to produce all its
records of dispatches from certain Offices
between certain dates in answer to drag
net subpoena in Senator Ingalls, case. We
hope this is SO, and that the matter will be
pressed to decision in the Supreme Court
which will settle this vexed question. 1t is
the question which the company failed to
prosecute to judicial determination in
the course of the Investigations into the
Presidential election of 1876, when it sur
rendered AN undigested mass of de-
spatches into the hands OF Congressional
committees to be fumbled and pilfered.
Kansas Legislature is under inquiry by the
Senate committee on charges Of bribery, and
the purpose OF the drag-net subpoena is to
obtain evidence supposed to exist some
where in the records of the company, but
not specified on the face of the writ. 1t
makes no difference that Mr.. Ingalls, is will
ing to have the company respond to the
subpoena. The issue is broader than his
individual case, which merely affords the
occasion Tor raising it. 1t is the question
of the constitutional right OF the public to
protection against wanton searches into its
transactions by telegraph. If the Senate
committee can specify what it wants in am
particular case, let it do so distinctly. But
has it the right to pry into all the de-
spatches of the public at large on the pre-
tence of investigating Mr.. Ingalls,?

Parliamentary Methods in France.

Parliamentary Methods in Fra nee.
In the French Chamber of Deputies, as
we'll as in the Senate, there is O certain
of the government upon several points ofcur-
rent interest, and the Left in both bodies is
naturally somewhat restive under the situa-
tion created for republican party not con-
tent with the course of the government and
prac ,ically without q remedy; or, rather,
conscious that the only remedy it can
apply would, if effective, leave it in worse
position than it is in at present The Sen.
ators, in this difficulty, have resorted to
the method of an exercise upon the govern
ment of moral pressure by means of CON-
mittees-a method that was considered the
other day by the Deputies of all shades and
hues Of republicanism. but decided to be
impolitic. Between Deputies 1t was recog-
nized that if Parliament is not satisfied
with the course of the Ministry the remedy
is to vote it out of Office; but that there is
no known method by which any part of the
Parliament can practically itself become
the government without thus ousting the
government whose policy 1t disapproves.
Yet that in substance was what was pro-
posed when it was suggested that the oppo-
sition should draw up programme which
the government should be required to fol-
low. II the government proved refractory
the Left would then have to vote it out; but
the Lett is not sufficiently of one opinion to
be able to do that. AS the Left in the Cham
Der does not just now see its way clear to
making another government in place of the
one now in Office it has decided it cannot
force instructions, and the Senate after
mild trial of another plan will perhaps
eventually take the same view as the Depu-
| ties.

THE WEArHER.-The area of high barometer
which followed the disturbance experienced ON
Thursday, and dominated the weather through
out all the districts east of tho Rocky Noun
tains during the past few days, is now moving
eastward over the Middle Atlantic and New
England States The pressure began to de-
crease on Friday evening in the Northwest, and
yesterday the eastern margin of disturbance
was well marked overthe Upper Mississippi Val
ley. Light snow fell in the upper lake regions
aud the Northwest. The weather was partly
cloudy in the Gulf and the southern por
ton of the South Atlantic States. Elsewhere
1t was fair. The temperature fell slightly In
the Middle Atlantic and New England States
remained nearly stationary in the central val
lcys aud South Atlantic States and rose de.
cidedly in the other sections Of the country.

fore has any one imagined how many differ
ent articles are singularly appropriate as
Christmas presents. Even now many
people would fail to realize it
were not the dealers tireless in their
efforts to properly educate the public in
this important direction. Candies and
coal hods. paintings and pickle jars,
dresses and door mats, sleds and shoe
brushes, and thousands of other things
equally dissimilar, are suggested as just
the thing for the season, and the dread
ful fact about them all is that nearly
everybody knows just the people to whom
they would send these various articles if
there were only greenback printing press
in the family. But heartless Nov-
ernment still monopolizes the manufac-
ture of money, and has fortified the
Sub-Treasury building, so everybody,
rich and poor alike, has to determine
what not to buy, and the reluctance with
which enticing windows are left is equalled
in magnitude only by the self-sacrifices
that are mentally made before many OF
them. AS for the men who are prefer
naturally solemn over the thought that they
know who will have to pay for all this dis
play, let them take consolation from the
fact that they would be twice as miserable

MIR. Peter Bowe's Duty.

Two murderers are lying in the Tombs
under sentence Of death-Chastine Cox and
Pietro Balbo. Although some legal delays
are possible there is little doubt that these
sentences must be executed within the
term Of the new Sheriff. Mr.. Peter Bowe,
which will begin with the new year. It is
impossible for the statute prescribing the
halter for the punishment of Cox and Balbo
to be changed so as to authorize them to be
killed in any other way. They are entitled to
be hanged. Any amendment substituting o
different mode of death in capital cases can
not be retroactive. But, SO far as we know,
Mr.. Peter Bowe never hanged man in all
his life. He is an efficient auctioneer, much
esteemed in his trade, who probably was
allured to the office of Sheriff by its large
emoluments, without regard to the diff
Guilty of lis duties. One Of the most difficult
Of them, judging from the experience of
sheriffs elsewhere, will be to hang Cox and
Balbo skilfully and decently; and we warn
him thus early to be preparing himself for
it, because his constituents will not tolerate
q repetition in New York Of such cumsi-
ness and barbarity as has recently accom-
panied hangings in Pennsylvania. II scien-
tific instruction is desired by Mr.. Bowe, the
abundance with which it has been proffered
on the general topic by physicians and pro-
fessors through the columns of the HERALD
will fully warrant him in convoking an ad-
visory committee from the number of our
contributors. Meanwhile we print some
more letters concerning substitutes for
hanging which may be applicable to subse-
quent cases. Among them Dr. Hammond
cites a curious example of a man struck by
lightning who was stripped naked, scorched
all over his body and made deaf by the
shock, but continued ''singularly placid
and cheerful" afterward, and recovered
health within three months with no worse
consequences than the shortening of one of
his legs three-quarters Of an inch. If such
are possible effects of an attempt to kill
criminals by electricity DR.. Hammond
argues that it would be better to adhere to
hanging Another notable contribution in
the list recommends giving over murderers
of uncommon atrocity to the surgical pro-
iession for vivisection.
