1T seems almost impossible for ordl-
nary human nature to withstand mon
ey temptation. Even in professedly be-
uevolent operations, it is usually the
most difficult thing in the world to
keep everybody honest. The Irish
National Skirmishing Fund Associa-
ton, of New York, is a case in point.
For many months this association,
through it's agents, has been collecting
money to aid the cause of Irish eman-
cipstion at home. and now with fund
of $9S, 1000 in the hands of its trustees,
there is difficulty in the camp because
the trustees refuse to report. How
much truth there may or may not be
in the charges made we have no means
Of ascert aiming, but the fact OF such
charges being made illustrates the
point in hand, which is that in the col
lection and di- bursement of money too
much caution cannot be taken nor too
many safeguards established.

SECRETARY LINCOLN finds the chair
Of the War Department no easy seat.
1t would seem that the officers OF the
regular army are all divided up into
the personal clques or SETS, with some
prominent General as the leading spirit
of e..ch band, and that between these
individual groups there is often the
bitterest feeling AMI the most intense
jealousy. And it requires most skill
ful and steady-handed pilot to steer
the incumbent of War Office safely
through the channel between these
contending factions. This accounts for
the many rumors which now and then
find their way into print concerning
the relations of Secretary Lincoln to
his subordinate officers and to the OH
ce1s of the army as body. Just now
the Secretary is detained in Washing
ton hearing and investigating a case of
the kind already alluded to growing
out of the removal of General Sturgis
from the command of the Soldidrs'
Home.

UTILIZING WATER-POWER.
An Important Project Gontsm-
plated by the Electric Light
Company.
Circuits Of Twsnty-four Miles
Of Wire.

In view Of the probable early in
PRODUCTION of the incandescent, or
house light. in connection with the
Brush system of storing electricity,
the electric light people are talking
Of utilizing the immense water
power of Big Cottonwood creek, and
for this purpose surveys are to be
made to select the most eligible
route for the lines of wire. The
distance by rovd to the mouth
of the canyon is eight miles,
and to the most eligible loca-
ton for their purposes it is
from six to eight miles further, but
by building over the mountain direct
to the city it is thought that the dis
lance can be shorted to twelve miles.
Poles would be erected on which four
heavy wires would be run for two
sets Of machines, it being practic-
able to run two generators on one
circuit. An overshot water wheel
would furnish the motor for driving
the machines, which would be re-
moved from the works in this city
to a location on the creek. 1t is
the intention to keep these
machines, and any new ones
needed, running night and day,
either driving arc lights or filling
the store boxes in the cellars of
houSeholders. The scheme is per-
fectly practicable, as there are cir
cults in eastern cities of between
twenty and thirty miles, and by the
Brush system the lights can be
driven at an almost indefinite dis
lance from the generators. A COM
pany is proposing to utilize the
vast water power Of Niagara
Falls, to drive lights in Buffalo.
and propositions to this end
have already been made to
the Brush company of Cleveland.
The Salt Lake company would effect
a large saving by utilizing the water
power Of Big Cottonwood, which is
estimated as sufficient to drive over
500 arc lights, and to supply cleo
tricity enough for 10000 house lights
by means of storage. In the first
place it would do away with the ne
cessity of using coal, which is the
largest item in the expenses of the
works. Then no engineer and fire.
man would be required, while the
depreciation in the value OF the
plant, by reason of wear and tear Of
engines and boilers, would be re-
duced to minimum, as the wear
on the generators does not.
it is said, amount to two
per cent. per annum. 1t is
not at all unlikely that the project
will be carried out this spring or
summer. or at least as soon as the
home company begin supplying
storage boxes, which are promised
before a great while.
