THE governor seems to regard jury SER
vice as hardship to all citizens, and as
a reward to members of the militia force,
suggests that they be absolved from this
service after honorable discharge as well
as during their connection with the
militia. The fact is, that jury service is
duty that citizens owe to the State, and
is even more important to the mainten-
ancc of our governmental system than
the duty of bearing arms. Without
good, intelligent juries, our judicial
system will become a mere mockery of
Justice. No good citizen has right to
shirk jury service on any pretense, and
and the law eXempting members of the
militia from such duty is one of doubtful
propriety.

IT will be gratifying to citizens of
Minnesota to learn from the governors
message that hereafter no tax will be
required for the support of State institu-
tons, the sum required being supplied
by the tax on the earnings of the rail
roads. There is also a prospect that ere
many years the receipts from this source
will be sufficient to defray the expenses
of the State, thus relieving individual
taxpayers of a considerable burden.
These facts should he borne in mind
when the legislature comes to frame en-
actments relative to the railroads.

IT appears from the message of Gov.
Jarvis, of North Carolina, that the rela-
tions between the whites and blacks of
that State are of the most cordial descrip-
ton. He speaks of the colored people
as improving in industry and thrift, and
meeting with every encouragement
in their new departure from their white
neighbors. This exhibit is truly crafty
ing, and is borne out by impartial testi-
mony from other sources, and by the fact
that the negroes who were befooled into
emigrating to Indiana last year are re-
turning to their old homes as fast as they
can procure the means to pay transpor-
alton

THOUSANDS OF DEAD CATTLE.

Drawing a line fifty mile east Of the
mountains, from the north to the south
boundary of the state, running parallel
with the foothills, Capt. WeIzell, secretary
of the board of cattle inspectors, presented
diagram of the dry section, or that
portion of Colorado rendered barren Of
pasture by the drought OF last summer.
Within this belt there were before winter
set in 100000 head Of cattle. Upon the
approach of cold weather 100,0 900 We're
seut out of the state and 100000 driven
east to the grass land4 and to the NOUN
tains. leaving $4,000 in the dry belt.
OF these, %, 600 have been wiDtered In
Larimer and Boulder counties principally.
Among these the loss has been inslgnlfi-
cant. The remaining 25, 500 have given
most of the victims to the winier harvest.
In the mountains there has been no loss
except III South Park, where only few
deaths have occurred. Out of this 26, 600
the loss is estimated at ten cent. The
greatest number of dead cattle is To be
tonnd along the Platte and Arkansas riv-
ers. Within the section Of country lying
between these streams there is but little
lost, the number, however, being counted
in the total estimate. The count OF dead
cattle on the Platte begins at Julesburg,
running west. The total number count
ed on both sides of the stream for a dis
tance OF twenty-five miles was 400.
These were from the herds that drifted
along the stream all the season. At the
ratio the number of deaths within one
hundred miles-the extent of the range
would be 5000, and it is assumed that
at least 2000 are Wyoming cattle. The
count of dead cattle on the Arkansas was
made simultaneous with that of the
Platte. The count was made from Bent's
Ford to old Fort Lyon, distance of for
ty-hve miles, and 1900 dead bodies were
found. At the same ratio, taken from
the number would foot up 5000 head, the
great bulk of dead animals lying within
one hundred yards of the river on either
side. This number is subtracted from
| 100, 900 head that dritteI along the river
| during the entire season. The dead cat
tie here are principally those that have
been driven iIom Texas or drifted east
ward and southward from the dry belt,
together with a large number of old cows.
| Capt. Wetzel estimates the number of
cattle in the state at S50,0 and in or
der to cover all the territory bases his es-
Inmates of mortality at double the mum
Der known to be dead The number as
certained by actual count foots up only
one and quarter per cent. Doubling this
percentage he gives the estimated number
of dead cattle at about 1900 head out of
! $4,000. This number, he says, is larger
than ever known betore.-Deaeer Tri6-

WHAT IS NICKEL?

Since the convenient Scent coin which
IN common talk is called "a nickeP' has
come into general circulation, the above
question IS asked either mentally or oral
ly hundreds of times every dav. and but
few get an intelligent answer. In China
and INDIA, white copper, called pack
tong has long been known and has been
extensively used both there and in Eu-
rope for counterfeiting silver coin. About
the year 100 peculiar ore was discover
Ell IN the copper mines Of Saxony which
had the appearance Of being very rich,
but IN smelling it yielded no copper. and
the miners called it kupfernickel, or false
copper. In 1854, Cronstadt announced the
discovery OF new metal in Kupfer Nick
ei, to which he gave the name of nickel
1t was IN combination with arsenic from
which be could relieve it only in parts.
The alloy OF nickel and arsenic which he
obtained was white, brittle and very hard
and bad a melting point nearly as high
as castlron. 1t was not until 1923 that
pure nickel was obtained by analysis of
German Silver, which had for number
OF years been produced at Suhl in Saxony.
Its composition was ascertained to be con
per ~ parts, zinc 5, and nickel 4. If
more nickel be used the alloy is as white
as silver and susceptible OF a very high
polish, but becomes too brittle and hard
TO be hammered or rolled. and can he
worked only by casting Pure nickel is
a white metal which furnishes readily in
the air. Unlike silver, it is not acted on
by the vapor of sui phur, and even the
strong mineral acids attract it but slight
ly. Nickel has the hardness of iron, and
like it, has strong magnetic properties,
but can not be welded and is soldered
with difficulty. Pure nickel has heretofore
been used chiefly for plating, for which
purpose its hardness and power to resist
atmospheric influences admirably adapt
1t. With the last year the French have
succeeded i'll rolling the metal into plates,
from which spoons and other table furni-
ture may be pressed. Nickel bronze.
which consists OF equal parts of copper and
nickel, with little tin, may be cast
into very delicate forms, and is suscep-
tible of a high polish. Mines ofnickel are
worked at Chatham, Conn, and Lancas-
ter, Pa, and it is said to be found at Mine
La Motte, Mo-, and at several points in
Colorado, and New Mexico, where but
little attention is paid to it. It is extern
slvely mined in Saxony and Sweden, but
the late discovery of new ore Ca sillicate
OF nickeD in New Caledonia will proba-
bly, suspend the use of the arsenical ores,
and yet bring nickel into common use.
Switzerland in the year 1852, made
coin of German silver, which is identical
in the composition with our nickel coin.
The United States made nickel cents in
1856, and eight years later coined the s.
cent pieces. Belgium adopted nickel
coinage in 1860 and Germany in 1873.
England has lately coined pennies for
Jamaica, but at home she and France ad-
here to the clumsy copper small change.

THE ST. LOUIS STRIKE

ST. LOUIS, April 29-lost of the
street railroad lines are running to-day,
and all Of them will probably resume to-
morrow. Each company mikes its own
terms with the men, there haing been no
concert of action or genefsl agreement
among them. No trouble hasyet occurred
on any of the roads, and the nly interfer-
ence SO far reported occurredon the Cass
Avenue line. When the firt car on that
that road reached Cass Averue, in what
is known, locally, as Kerry Patch, the
inhabitants being mainly Irih, some 81
or 20 women pelted the driver with mud
and threw cold water at him; at 9th street
and Cass avenue some men threw mud
and rocks, and again on 9Th street
large party of boys assailed car with
rocks and mud. Nobody ws hurt, and
no arrests were made. Those of the
strikers who still remain out are in very
demoralized condition and don't seem 70
know what to do. Their meeting at the
Turner Hall this morning was but slight
ly attended, and it is quite likely they
will soon disband.

The project some time age agitated by

Sahara, has given place to a projected
railway from Algiers acrossl the 1900
miles Of sand which lie between that CITY
and Timbuctoo, the point on the Niger
river where the railway is to reach Sou
dan. 1t was in the promotion of this
commercial enterprise that the expidition
Of Colonel Flatters was engaged when in
terrup,ed by the assaults Of the Khoumis
tribes. 1t is difficult to see where the re-
enumeration for the cost of such a gigan-
tic enterprise is to come from; but that it
would have powerful influence in open.

HOW TO CROSS THE CONTINENT.

HOW TO CROSS THE CONTINENT.
How many Of the 10000 people who
will cross the Atlantic this Summer for
a vacation in Europe haye ever or ossed
our own continent? Some one who
able to do it should set the fashion of 60
ing beyond the Rocky Mountains for
pleasure. 1t ought to be considered an
questionable, as we'll as unsenshle thing
for persons to take pleasure trip abroad
without having visited the natural Won
ders OF our own country. A party of
100 excursionists left Boston Monday, af
ternoon for trip to the Pacific coast,
and that fact suggests a way to make
crossing the continent less formidable
undertaking to tourists than it has for
merly been. Parties could be formed, not
as large as that from Boston, but large
enough to fill one or two palace cars, and
the coaches should be chartered to take
the company wherever they wish to so.
1n this way the discomforts of travel
would be reduced to a minimum, and the
tourist could dine and sleep in home
like fashion throughout the whole trip,
without leaving their train except to visit
the places Of interest within the region
through which the railway over which
they travel runs 1t ought to become q
fashionable and a common thing for par
ties OF from twenty to fifty to charter cars
to take-them across the continent 70 view
