To THE FRIENDS OF PERSONAL LIB
ERTY IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN -
We desire to call your attention to
the following facts: On Monday
April 2, 1883, state election will be
held to elect two Justices of the Su
preme Court and two Regents of the
University. The Legislature which
is now in session ha, Republican
majority in both branches. There are
several bills pending in the Legisla
ture, introduced by the Prohibition
lists and two bills introduced by our
friends. Should the comIngelection
60 largely Republican we have good
reason to fear that the Prohibition
lists will succeed in passing almost all
their bills. But if the Union party
should carry this state this spring, it
is highly probable that the bills in.
troduced by the Prohibitionists will
be defeated and our bill will be pass.
ed. If the friends of Personal Liberty
in this state will exert themselves at
the coming election, to elect the Un-
ion ticket, there is no doubt that
their efforts would be successful. We
therefore earnestly request all the
friends of Personal Liberty in this
state to do all they can to elect the
Union Ticket for Supreme Judges and
Regents of the University.

with an advertising patronage

The newspapers of Paris are gloating
over England's embarrassment witt,
regard to Egyptian affairs. They take
special satisfaction, apparently, III
this opportunity to retaliate for the
unfavorable comments of the English
press of late upon Frcn@n entangle-
ments in the Orient. The effect of the
false prophets successes upon specula-
lion on the Paris bourse has been very
serious, but secretly brought about.
The news of the humiliation Hicks
Pasha's army had been known in Con-
stantinople for several days before it
was made known even to the govern
ment officials in London, and from
Constantinople it was secretly tele-
graphed into London and Paris spec
ulators. During the present month,
within the period of this knowledge,
Suez canal has fallen $50 francs per
share. the final public announcement
bringing it down 90 francs at jump.
The shares continue fiat, principally
because ofthe refusal of the British
government to promise assistance to
the khedive, and the continued fear
tnat the whole Nile will fall under
the control of Ell Mehdi and his fanat-
ical followers.

DEAR SIR: The policy retrench-
ment in the opening department OF
the Northern Pacific road which the
stock holders have entrusted you to
enforce, is undoubtedly a wise one,
and the people of Bismarck especially
feel confident that you will not carry
the policy to such an extreme that it
will prove detrimental to the interest S
of the road or inimical to the prospect
ty of the study settlers, whose success
is so thoroughly identified with that
of your great transcontinental route.
Advice is always cheap, and while
editors receive SO much of it gratu-
itously, it may not seem impertinent
for them 10 occasionally impart q little
even though it be upon a subject OF
which they confess to be entirely ig-
norant. Theories are easily promui-
gated and their general harmlessnass
is sufficient excuse for this letter
In assuming new responsibilities it
is always well to profit by experience
of the past. That the Northern Pa
cific has been pushed through to a
perhaps too early completion is self
evident, yet that result was bora of
connendable enterprise and may be
made 10 work to the best interests If
all concerned. Your expenses in ac-
comprising that magnificent work
have been Unfortunately large and with

V'iiafa III rae financial helm might

rassnient. Ii is now conceded to be

to place the keystone in the arch OF

ness; ~ or.lert,clinch Your munificent

ner of the house, was killed outright
by blow from club. The six men
claimed that the brother was the
murderer, while he and his family
maintain that he was slain by the

The six men have been arrested, land
it is reported that a warrant is on,
for the arrest ofthe brother. The last

The Tremendous Power Of Water.

Reno Gazette
The properties of water are only partially
understood by those who have never seen it
under high pressure. The Virginia City
water company gets its supply from Marietta
lake, ON the Tahoe side Of the mountain. 1t
gets it through by long tunnel, is then on the
crest Of high mountain opposite Mount Da-
wilson, with Washoe valley between. To
cross this valley by fume would be almost
impossible, so the water is carried down the
mountain side to the bottom, and crosses I'M
der the V. & T. railroad track, on the divide
between Washoe and Eagle valleys, then up
again to the required height in pipes. The
depression created in the line of carriage is
1,720 feet, and the pressure on the pipes is 800
pounds to the square inch. One pipe is eleven
inches in diameter, and is quarter-inch iron,
lap-welded, and eighteen feet long, with screw
joints. There is little trouble from it; but
the other, which is twelve inches in diameter
and riveted pipe, makes more or less trouble
all the time. The pipe is laid with the seam
down, and whenever crack is made by the
frost or sun warping it, or from any other
cause, the stream pours forth with tremend-
Gus force.
II the joint is broken open, Of course the
whole stream is loose and goes tearing down
the mountain, but usually the escape is very
small The break last week was less than
five-eighths Of an inch in diameter, and yet
the water in the flume was lowered an inch
and half by it, and the pressure went down
fifteen or twenty pounds. Capt. Overton
says that fifty inches of water went through
it. 1t has been probably year in cutting
out, and was made by little stream hardly
visible to the naked eye that escaped through
joint and struck the pipe two or three feet
off, eating away the iron until the pressure
inside broke it through. When such break
occurs the noise can be heard for half mile,
and the earth shakes for hundreds of feet
around. A break the size of a knitting
needle will cut hole in the pipe in half an
hour. Such breaks are repaired by putting
band around the pipe, pouring in moulten
lead, and tamping it in Such stream bores
through a rock like sand blast. The flying
water is as hard as iron, and feels rough like
file to the touch. 1t is impossible to turn it
with the hand, as it tears the flesh off the
bones, and If the fingers are stuck into the
stream, with the point up, the nails are
instantly turned back and sometimes torn
loose from the flesh.
