ALEXANDRIA, VA.

WHEN THE democrats had control of the
Senate they allowed both Messrs. Kellogg
and Ingalls, to retain their seats in obedience
to law and rules, though not to justice, and
during their possession of the House many
IN unfairly elected republican representa-
tive was permitted 10 retain his seat for the
same reason. They now see how such &C.
ton is ,reciprocated, and that to secure q
working majority the republicans not only
hout justice but disregard prescriptive laws
and pay no attention to what have pre-
viously been considered the most binding
rules. Majorities are rarely permanent, and
as laws and rules are the only protection OF
minioriGes, it is unwise for temporary
majority to establish the precedent Of de-
stroying that protection. Democrats are
but human, and it would be unnatural for
them TO forget in the next House, when
they will have n majority, the treatment
that ha,; been accorded them by the repub-
leans in the present one.

Building on faith ceased long ago. The
results secured by the first experimental
line transformed faith into certainty. But
to the fact that the management of the
Denver and Rio Grande railway solved the
problem Of mountain railway building by
employing the three-foot guage, and that it
started with a bold policy and continued it
boldly, Colorado owes the rapidity of her de-
velopment. The example set found ready
followers. The Colorado Central, with its
numerous tributary lines, opened the north
ern portion of the State as effectually as the
Denver and Rio Grande opened the southern
and southwestern portion, and it gave also
an outlet to the Pacific coast. The Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe. coming into Pueblo,
gave another outlet to the Pacific, and what
was more important, competing line to the
East that insured permanently lower rates
on freight and passengers to and from the
Missouri. If the railway building of the
present decade continues as it has begun, the
railway mileage of 1880 will be more than
doubled in 1890. Last year nearly 700
miles of new track were laid-of which 515
miles were extensions of the Denver and Rio
Grande system-and the present year has
opened with every promise of continuation
of the same vigorous activity.

How the Railroads Have Developed
Colorado.
from Bradctreet'S

From Bradstreets
At the foundation of all of COlOradOs
prosperity, at once the cause and effect OF its
rapid development, have been its railways.
When the Kansas Pacific reached Denver in
1878, nearly the whole Of the present inhab-
tied portion OF the State was wilderness.
there were few mining camps, the glory of
which was departing, for the mining fever
was about played out, and few trading
posts; but the greater portion of the Terri
tory was deserted of inhabitants, save hos
tile Indians Nor was there any very OBJ
vious promise of the latent wealth shut up
in its mountains. 1t was at this time, and
under these uncheering conditions, that rail-
road building began. 1t was manifesto
ton at once of shrewdness and faith The
first division of the Denver and Rio Grande
railway was pushed out into nothingness,
and the absolutely desolate spot upon the
prairie where it stopped was called Colorado
Springs People laughed at this enterprise,
and said it would not pay. But it did. The
extensions were continued to Pueblo to the
coal beds at Canyon City, to the coking coal
beds at Elmore, to Leadville, to the Gunni-
son country, to the San. Juan region, to the
richest mining portions Of the State, and even
beyond the State into Utah and New Mexico.
The annual increase in mileage, on all the
Colorado roads collectively, shows how rap
i61V the advapca was made.

Postage Stamps.
Scotsn1an.l |

Some things are so common that few ap-
prehend the ingenuity and labor required to
make them. Postage stamps, for instance,
are in eyerybody's mouth, except the wise
ones, who use a wet sponge, but scarcely any
one knows how they are manufactured. In
printing them steel plates are used, on which
two hundred stamps are engraved Two
men are kept hard at work covering them
with the c0lored inks and passing them to a
man and girl, who are equally busy at print
ing them with large rolling hand presses
After the small sheets of paper upon which
the two hundred stamps are engraved have
dried enough they are sent into another
room and gummed. The gum used for the
purpose is peculiar composition, made OF
the powder of dried vegetables mixed with
water, which is better than any other mate
rial, for instance gum arabic, which cracks
the paper badly. The paper is also of per-
feet texture, somewhat similar to that used
for bank notes. After having been again
dried, this time on little racks, which are
famed by steam power for about an hour,
they are put between sheets of pasteboard
board and pressed by hydraulic presses, ca
pable of applying weight of two thousand
pounds. The next thing is to cut the sheets
in half; each sheet of course when cut con-
tains hundred stamps. This is done by a
girl with large pair of shears, cutting by
hand being preferred to that of machinery
which method would destroy too many
stamps. They are then passed to other
squads, who, in as many operations, perfo-
rate the sheets between the stamps Next
they are pressed once more, and then packed
and labled and slowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in mail bags
stamp is torn, or in any way mutilated, the
whole sheet of one hundred is burned.
About five hundred thousand are burned
every week from this Gauss For the past |
twenty years not single sheet has been lost,
such care has been taken in counting them. |
During the progress of manufacture the
sheets are counted eleven times.

A MASTLESS STEAMER.
Which is Expected to Inaugurate New
Era in Ocean Transit.

Work on the new steamer without masts,
the Meteor, which was launched recently at
Nyack, is progressing so rapidly that it is
believed she will start on her initial voyage
from Boston about the middle Of October
Her dimensions are 1856 feet in length over
all, 147 feet on the water line, extreme
breadth of beam 21 feet s. inches, breadth
of beam at the water line 16 feet 1Oi inches,
tonnage 547. Her speed will be about
twenty -One miles an hour. The National
Construction Company, incorporated under
the laws OF New York, with capital of
S1,OOO,0OO, has been organized by New York
and Boston capitalists. 1t has purchased
from the American Quick Transit Steamship
Company, owners and builders Of the Meteor,
the exclusive right to build in this country
small steamships under 200 feet in length, of
the mastless type, according to the patents
owned by that company The company has
purchased at Bay Ridge, adjoining the docks
of the Coney Island Railroad, twenty-seven
acres of land with a water frontage of 715
feet The present head Of water at the bulk
head of the company's land is fifteen feet,
and the company has the right to fill out q
distance of 700 feet from the present shore
line, thus securing a depth of thirty feet.
On this property it is proposed to construct
marine railways, dry docks and shops, with
facilities for building and repairing of steel,
iron and wooden ships. This new model for
an ocean steamship is a novelty because it
has no masts or spars. Its deck is domed,
and with the exception of the tops of the
ventilators and the pilot houses there is moth
ing above the deck to catch the wind and re-
tard the speed Of the ship.

Utilizing a Glacier.


The enormous glacier, Fon or Svartisen
(6O0 25/ north, $50 15/ east,) on the SEMEN
Island, in Norway, and which is the north
ernmost of its kind in Europe, will shortly
be made the object of remarkable enter
prise. 1t appears that a number of specula-
tive merchants in Bergen have obtained the
right of cutting block-ice for export from its
surface. Some blocks have already arrived
at the latter place, and as the quality of ice
is found to be found to be good, large ship.
ments may be expected The glacier is about
l2O square miles, and as the distance from
Its border to the sea is only couple of miles
the ice may be obtained very cheaply. A
similar attempt to utilize the glacier Folge-
fonden was made some years ago, but failed,
owing to the blocks in their downward
course repeatedly breaking through the
wooden bore or conductor in which they
were slid down to the sea-

Helena, Montana, Thursday, October 10, 1882

strange omission on the part Of the govern
ment custodians to erect sign-boards at the
crossings giving the distances and the direc
tions to the various points. A government
police is sadly needed to prevent wanton and
careless confagrations which have already de-
stroyed vast bodies of valuable timber and
disigured the face of the country. There
can be no doubt of the abundance of game in
the park. In summing up, would like to
say that if a man works constantly, saves
what he makes, is not a victim Of alcohol
and does not get shot, he can make money
out in the region of the Northern Pacific road.

A Fraudulent MastOdOn.

There is an offensive rumor afloat that the
famous mastodon which was exhumed at
Cohoes in 1866, and has since attracted the
admiring gaze of thousands at the rooms of
the State Geological Society at Albany, is a
fraud, or rather an innocent imposition. LIE
Grand Johnson, who recently died at Milton
Centre, Saratoga county. and who in his
early days was connected with several
menageries, persisted in declaring, up to the
day of his death, that the supposed masto-
don's skeleton was nothing more or less than
the bones of an African elephant, which
formerly belonged to the travelling show of

road, and whose body he himself helped to
bury in 1929, on the very spot where the
skeleton was exhumed in 1866

A Tremendous Blast.

On the Sd of September the largest blast
yet fired on the Oregon & California railroad
was set off near Stephens camp. The charge
consisted of ZOO pounds of Judson and 5000
pounds of black powder. 1t was placed in a
sixty-foot drift in the side of the mountain.
The effect of the blast was simply tremen-
dous. It tore down the side of the noun
tain, damned up the creek for a mile, block
ed up the wagon road for half nile, and
some of the canvas tents in
Stevens camp, distant about 900 yards.
