A MUNICIPAL PUZZLE.

The Administrators Of this city are not
lacking Ii sagacity or acumen, and their gen.
eral management Of the city's affairs has
been extremely satisfactory. But while they
have mastered the intricaoies OF the Premium
Bond scheme, and have even solved, SO far as
1t Is soluble by human ingenuity, the famous
10, 49, IA puzzle, there is one problem that we
believe they confess themselves utterly un-
able to work out to q satisfactory solution.
How to suppress the omnipresent and ON
niverous goat is conundrum which stag
gers the Administrators individually and col
lectively, and has probably caused the Coun-
Gil more anxious thought and more anguish
Of spirit than all the lawsuits ever brought by
ravenous creditors, or than even the prospec-
tive legislation In regard to the city charter.
To the superficial thinker and observer 1t
would seem to be an easy matter for the Ad-
ministrator Of Police to Issue an order to have
the ordinance touching animals roaming

The true explanation OF the proposed raid
into the Indian Territory is said to be the
fact that the large landholders In the most
fertile parts Of Missouri keep the State closed
against immigration by refusing to sell their
lands, and, at the same time, asking exorbi-
tant rents for them. This system, it is said.
has kept q large portion Of the population Of
the State extremely poor. and these people
are anxious to 60 somewhere else where they
can buy lands OF their own at reasonable
rates. The Indian Territory being just BE-
You'd the borders OF Missouri, they looked at
It with greedy eyes, anxious to get possess
eion Of some OF this fertile yet uncultivated
land. II the Territory Is ever opened to set
Element 1t liz predicted that It will nearly de-
populate some Of the richest portions OF
Missouri.

The Russian expedition against Merv had
to be given up, short time since, on account
OF the breaking out OF ophthalmia among
the Russian troops. This disease grew SO
bad that one-fourth Of the Russian army was
rendered blind. in many instances permanent

sand OF the Turkistan deserts. leading
member Of the Russian surgical staff, Skre-
betsky by name, emphaticaliy denies this,
and declares that this disease not only pre-
wallis in the Assatic division but In every other
division OF the Russian army. and is due
wholly to dirt and unwholesome food, par
ftcularly the former. As thousands Of chill

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

The strikes OF the working classes In New
York have begun to assume very serious pro-
portions, and 1t Is thought by those we'll quail
iied to express an opinion on the subject
that unless compromise Is effected very
soon several important branches Of industry
will be brought to q complete standstill. Both
the manufacturers and the piano-makers
seem determined to adhere to the stand which
they have already assumed, and consequent
ly over four thousand workmen In that parti-
cular branch Of industry will be thrown out
OF employment. At mass meeting Of work
ingmen on the fourteenth, held under the au-
spices Of the piano-forte makers, number OF
speeches were made In favor of holding out
for the advance demanded, and relief was
prom ised by number OF trades unions, II
necessary, at an early day. The carpenters,
bricklayers, fathers, stone cutters, painters
and several other trades unions are now thor
oughly organized, and 1t is reported that q
general move for an advance Of wages will be
made by the first Of April. From the present
outlook 1t appears almost certain that not
less than ten thousand worktngmen will
be out on strike In New York In Q very few
days. Some OF the other large Eastern cities
are similarly threatened, but the organiza-
tions do not seem to be SO complete or the
men so determined. It Is evident that there
Is trouble In the Immediate future, unless it
shall be averted by frmness on the part Of
State authorities or by compromise which,
from present appearances, does not seem
very probable.
This conflict should be prepared for BY the
authorities OF the various States, and the dis
graceful spectacle OF Governors and legisla-
lures calling upon the Federal government to
suppre Sc local disorders should not again be
witnessed. A well regulated militia Is and
should be the best reliance Of every State, and

Ex.Gov. John L. Palmer, OF Illinois, is one
OF the first Democratic candidates for the
Presidency to announce himself In the field.
Gov. Palmer was Republican until about
1872, when he joined the Democratic party.
He was Governor Of Illinois at the time OF the
Chicago fire, and got into some trouble with
Phil Sheridan at that time, protesting against
any interference by the United States troops
with the civil authorities. The New York Sun
recently published six column biography Of
Palmer, and announces Its belief that he
would make good presidential candidate for
the Democracy.

A Break IN THE JOURNEY.
About twenty miles from Chamouni, there
hsd been an avalanche of mud and stones
from the slope Of the bill, a mile distant,
which had filed the road two or three feet
for some ten rods or more. The result was
that our way WAS repdered impossible, and

to come in from the Geneva side Of the land
