DID JACK JONES CHI EAPEN BOARD?

The fact that Mr.. Jones, the Commercial
avenue shoemaker, had recently thrown
Dr.. Tanner completely in the shade by
fasting at Washington hall, in this city, had
almost slipped our memory, but was yes
terday very forcibly recalled to our mind
by conversation of which we were within
car-shot.

who had nose on him like the tin scoop
Of sugar Darrell, "I'll just be dauged if
Jones and Tanner haven't shed a heap of
light on this world and since Jones fast,
board has got dirt cheap in Cairo. These
fellows, who boss hash foundries, amt
quite as Independent and now a poor man
has a chance to live"
That's true squeaked little man who
was the possessor Of sore eyes and big feet
Jones said he would beat Tanner and he
stuck it out like the man that he is. He

Progress in Engineering aud the Arti

Progress In Engineering AVID the Arts
in the United states.
From paper read by O. Chanu.e at st. Louis
In the matter of supplying towns with
water, the application of steam as a
power, and the Improvements made in
pumping machines, engineers have
made a gain of fifty per cent over what
was accomplished twenty years ago.
There are now 500 towns and cities in
the United States and Canada supplied
with water works, involving thirteen
thousand miles of pipe, ten thousand of
which is of cast iron. Important prog
ress has also been made in canal engi-
neering, and we now have 1881 miles of
canal. Experiments are in progress in
the way of steam propulsion. which, it is
confidently expected, will effect saving
of fully thirty-Seven per cent over pres
emit methods. In railways the Americans
were among the first to appreciate Ste
phensOn'S invention of 1928, and are fore
most among nations in utilizing it. The
United States leads the world i'm the ex-
tent of her lines, reaching $1,000 miles;
all Europe has but ninety thousand, and
the balance of the world only 25,OOO.
Our railroad engineers and locomotive
builders lead all others. Our roads
reach further and cost less than any
others, and our engines pull heavier
trains and run more miles in year, or
during their lifetime than those of any
other nation. The Pennsylvania rail-
road was pronounced one of the best, if
not the best managed road in the world.
In regard to bridges, there are now in
the limited States nine hundred miles of
these structures -One-third of them stone

or iron and two-thirds wood. (The East
river bridge at New York may be in
stanced as the bOldest conception of
bridge construction ever attempted.)
The matter of river improvements is
just now attracting much attention, and
the fact is being realized that until
quite recently but little has been done
in this direction. 1t has been demon
strated that the currents OF the largest
rivers may be controlled by simple brush
dikes. The movable dam on the Ohio
French idea-has already proved sue
cess. and the best engineering talent in
the country is now engaged in effecting
certain needed notifications required to
meet the peculiar nature of our rivers.
The recent Improvements to navigation
at He'll Gate and Flood Rock were refer
red to as great and novel feats of engi-
neering. In telegraphic and gas engi-
neering we have made wonderful strides.
In the former we lead the world, in the
latter since 1850. the number of compa-
MES has increased from 80 to 900, with a
capital of S2OO,000,O00. In metallurgy,
the increase of our blast furnace is es-
pecially notable. In the amount of iron
produced, we are next to England, Ger
many standing third. Our steel indus
| try, which is now second only to that OF
Great Britain, will exceed that country
in another year. Our increase has been
| fifty per cent i'm two years. Our mining
industry, especially in regard to the
precious metals, is simply enormous
The petroleum industry was briefly al
luded to. Our exports of that product
are now the fifth on the list in point of
value. In agricultural engineering Our
progress has been truly wonderful, and
before this all other branches become as
dust in the balance. In the pillow alone
the annual saving of labor in producing
our crops amounts to fully S36yOO0,OOC
less than the same work would have cost
thirty years ago. 1t is i'm ship building
and maritime trade alone that we have
lost ground during the last two decades
This decadence is attributed to the wal
of rebellion, and to unequal competition
with England in ship-building, and the
superiority of iron over wOOd-an indus
try to which our engineers and capital
lists have not given proper attention; but
it was confidently predicted that in the
early future we shall once more assume
our proper place on the ocean.

SENATOR WALLACE, of Pennsylvania,
has introduced resolution proposing
amendments to the constitution, chang
ing the mode of electing the President
and Vice-President of the United States
The bill dispenses with the Electoral
College and provides for an election by
the people by secret ballot, by direct vote
in districts. Each state is to have as
many districts as it has Senators and
members in Congress, and each district
is to have one vote, the vote to be can
vassed by a state board of canvassers,
consisting of the Governor, Chief Justice
and Secretary of State, their return to
be made to the Speaker of the House, and
to be conclusive proof of the result; the
vote to be counted by congress in joint
convention, and the plurality vote to
elect.

THE Detroit Post and Tribune of last
Saturday publishes two columns of cor
respondence from various parts of the
state relative to the amount of wheat in
farmers hands and the condition of the
growing crop when snow fell. The cor
respondents very generally report that
25 to 33 per cent. are still held subject to
the demands of the market. This, with
an estimated total surplus of 100000
bushels on the crop, would leave $780,
600 to 1885, 90 bushels in the state, aside
from what is in elevators or millers
hands. Reports relative to the condi.
tion of the growing crop are somewhat
conflicting. Farmers are very generally
holding their surplus wheat for 81 as 9

THE following from the Detroit Post
and Tribune in regard to the re-nOmina-
tiOn of Chief Justice MarstOn we hearth
ly endorse: "The Republican party GER
tainly ought to accord to Chief Justice
Isaac MarstOn the well-deserved honor
of unanimous denomination. His ca
reer is striking illustration of the pos
sibilities which this state offers to intel
ligence, industry and integrity. TWEEN
ty-fOur years ago he came to Michigan, a
raw and poor Irish lad of humble parent
age. He worked on a farm at first
while eagerly seeking education. Final.
ly he entered the university. and to main
tain himself there did the service of a
janitOr in the law buildings. After
graduation he wisely located in the
thriving Saginaw valley and became
known as careful and sound lawyer
His ability and his independence soon
gained him prominence, and he was
sent to the legislature for the extra ses-
sion of 1872, and was appointed attorney
general for term of nine months in
1874. In 1875, when but thirty-six years
OF age, he was elected Judge Christian
cy's successor on the supreme bench
and at forty became chief justice of one
Of the ablest of the chief tribunals of the
American states. He has from the out
set commanded the respect of the bal
and of his eminent associates as an up
right, clear-headed and able magistrate
His party PROFESSIONALLY owes to the
state his denomination"
