orators OF the fluid In all are much the same,
though in the Brush the workmanship on the
machine is considered better than in all others,
there being few parts liable to wear and these
are cheaply replaced when worn out. How long
they will wear without repairs is not yet set
tied fact. The points Of vantage, however, are
In the lamps, which are briefly summarized as
follows: BY the Brush system any or all OF the
lamps as circuit may be switched of Cor put
OUT without injury to the generator, the indica'
tor offering the res istance of the lamps as they
are switched or BY use Of this switch also the
candies IN one or more lamps may be renewed
without disturbance to the other lamps of cir
cult. In other systems should half the lamps be
put out, the machine would soon be burned up,
there being no method of controlling the surplus
electricity. In each Of the Brush lamps is an au.
tomato SWITCH so that in case of accident to
individual lamps as burning out of candles, the
automatic switch throws that lamp out OF the cir'
cult and preserves it from injury. When the
cause is removed the lamp may be again thrown
into the circuit and the light resumed by simply
moving the switch back, throwing the fluid to
the carbon points. In other systems when one
light goes out all the lights go out. Again, the
Brush lamp alone is made double lamp so that
one lamp will burn without renewal of carbons
with perfect safety for II or IA hours. BY such
a lamp the lights may be started up say at 6 in
the evening; at 10 0ne-half may be turned off,
leaving the rest burning all night as night lamps
in stores. The Brush light is controlled by To-
cal company, who, we understand, are ready to
furnish lights for all who wish them at a stated
rental, though at what definite cost we are not
informed. We believe it would be slightly high
er than the cost to those now using the light
here, though still much less than gas.

th nature. 1t may be said that one
cause of higher wages in the North
.rn and Western States, is the high
er state of improvement, and conse.
quently, the greater productivcness
ofland in these States. We grant
this. But, what is the cause Of the
difference Of improvements It is the
combination of capital with labor.
We have .adduced these facts to
point out what we believe the inter
est of the State demands, in the mat
ter Of immigration. We don't want
all iaborers, but we need consider
able amount Of capital. Politically
and agriculturally, it is the settler Of
means who buys farm for himself,
or who starts a factory, mill or
some other useful enterprise, whom
we need just now as much, if not more
than the laborer. It is true that
labor is gradually getting higher,
but the immigration of actual land
owners will tend to relieve the diff
Guilty as we'll as the natul al increase
of our population. We are not op-
posed to more labor, for it is the
strong arm Of the laborer who gives
life and energy to our land. Wi h.
out him capital would be fruitless.
But it is the combination Of capital
and labor that we weuld urge. Let
our immigration Bureau in attend
ing to the one not neglect the other.

The Health of Washington.

From common report and occa-
slonal newspaper paragraphs, the
health Of the city Of washington does
not appear to be any OF the best. 1t
is said that the malaria from the
Potomac affects the atmosphere and
that fever and kindrc.i discn. cs from
this cause arc not unt,reQuent. This
is the excuse that some of our Con
gressmcn make Tor tippling. They
say their physicians advise it for
Keeping off malaria, and they are
very. sorry. Now, if the Capital can
not be moved to some higher lnti.
tude, where our Congressman may be
taken out of danger of snakes, nal
ara and monkeys, where they can be
refreshed by cooler breezes and cx-
hllara:cd by natures pure mountain
dew, there is still another plan. Let
the whiskey of the Capital he "mcdi.
Gated and not taken straight. When
we consider the army experience, We
are astonishcd, with all the Conf der
ate Brigadicrs, for which Washing.
ton is noted, that the past should b.
forgotten, and that the physicians
shonld.he. so led astray. The repre-.
sentatives ofa nation, ought to be
kept healthy, md robust.

The Overthrow of C0nk * ling

After most disgusting and weari-
some fight at Albany, Gonkliug has
been ovcrthrown, and Lapllnm, man
in many respects his inferior, has
been elected over him as Senator from
New York. About week ago Miller
was also elected in the place of Platt
who resigned with Conkling. The
fight has been in many respects use
less and revolving one. On the one
side the strutting pride Of Conkling,
and on the other the worthlessncss
and ringism OF Lapham and Miller,
the successful candidates. The New
York Times may well say that the
great State Of New York can find
nothing in the new Senators in which
to feel proud. But the uselessnesy OF
the fight is another point. Before the
new Senators will take their seats in
Congress the general election will take
place. Why then all ofthis disgrace
t'ul exhibition? But in all evils there
is some good. The Republican party
is weakened, and the Democratic par
ty is strengthened. If an election
should be held now, New York would
go Democratic with hardly doubt,
and ifthe change in public sentiment
is properly fostcrcd we may coun
New York as safely back in the Den.
ocratic fold.
