The Basis of American Prosperity.

Capital Is pouring into this country. The bal
ance of trade, another but not an en-
tirely safe arOmete is in our favor.
From England and Germany, especially,
are coming large Investments IN rail-
roads, mines, Western and Southern lands.
Railroads are purchasing additional cars and
machinery to move the great grain crops and to
develop the country, INTO which is pouring vast
populations. New railroads with solid founda-
tions for future prosperity are being projected,
and there Is every reason to belive that the
opening of spring will indicate a boom in rail-
road building equal TO that OF the spring of 1881.

The James Jury.


n NFpWHTIOdHs
The James boys are nothing more nor less
than murlerers for gain. Their example has
contaminated the minds of thousands OF boys.
They should have been hung years ago. The
prolOngation of their lives was a monument to
the weakness of the law, and an evidence of the
low grade of public morals which prevailed in
the State of Missouri. The same people who
assisted in conoealing these robbers are their
friends yet and il seems succeeded in forming
the jury which went through the farce of trying
Frank James. 1t Is a SAD day for justice when
such jurles go unhung.

Political Rights of Women.

The giving of women their political rights, the
privilege of elective franchise, will not usher in
the millennium, but there are not a few who he
lieve that it would be "a grand stride toward it.
Then would questions of State and natlOnal in.
terest become familiar home topics. The mother
thus stimulated would lmbue the youthful mind
with the fundamental principles OF political
economy; many political vagaries would be Grad

Influence would be more widely exerted; the

future generations would revere the generation
that inaugurated such reforms.

Mr.. VandervOOrt was given frequent OppOrtu-

Undesirable Immigrants.
Columbus Republican.

MorInonism would soon die ont were it not
continu ally fed by foreign accesslOns. Such i'm
migrants are more detrimental than either pau
pers or Chinese, and they should be kent out by
law. They consist OF The most ignorant and de-
graded of the European population, those who
can he charmed or gulled by the rose-cOlOred
pictures drawn By Mormon missionaries, and
who can be used for their own vile purposes
when they reach this country. 1t might be
somewhat difficult to regulate this matter by
law, but where they come as avOwed members
of an organization that sets the law at defiance,
it looks as if the combined wisdom of Congress
could originate some measure that would reach
the case and correct the evil.

The Old or Older Tickets.


hohuIhO hdhetle-
When mention Is made of the old ticket 1t ia a
little difficult 10 tell whether it refers TO Tilden
and Hendricks or Hancock and English. So far
as the real merit of the Two tickets ia concerned,
the latter 10 much the better. Hancock is "A
much purer man than Tildpn, and has not been
mixed in any OF the great ccrruptions with which
Tilden's name has been so cOnspicuously ASSOC
ciated. Englis h il also a much bttter statesman
than Hendricks. He is much more brainy, and
has decision of character, n thing which Hen
bricks does not possess.

A YOUNG Lutheran minister of Minersville

The country was never In a more prosperous
condition than now, and there is not an evil OF
a political character in the land that needs cor
rectlng that cannot better be corrected by the
party in power than 1t possibly can be by plac-
ing the government machinery into new aud
untried hands. This is a dav of civIl-service re-
form, and the idea of turning an experienced

Had the courts decided against James, tina
Missouri Governor would have necessarily, in
accordance with his CUSTOM, interpOsed to save
his neck and place him in the way of honorable

himself wanting in the attributes essential to
the welfare and comfort of the banditti.

Arthur st. George, an Englishman vino has re-
ceived "A patent upon it before Mr.. Edison could
get in his work. The Pail Mall Gazette, in de-
%scribing it, says that supplementary TO the tele-
phone itself is a coutrivance which will not only
record every description of conversation carried
on through the instrument, but will produ:e the
words at any future time. A circular plate of
glass is coated with cOllOdiOn and made sensi-
tive as a Photographic plate. This is placed In
a dark box, in which is a slit to admit a ray of
light. In front of the glass is the telephone
diaphragm, which, by its vibrations, opens and
closes a small shutter, through which a beam
of light is constantly passing and imprintinG a
dark line on the glass. Vibrations Of the shut
ter cause the dark line to vary in thickness ac-
cOrding to tho tones of the voice. The glass
plate revolves by clockwOrk, an" the conversa-
ton. as 1t leaves the telephone, is recorded on
the sensitive plate, the words spoken being
fixed as is done in photography. The plate can
be brought forward a%fterward, and when re-
placed IN the machine and connected with a dis
tant telephone will, when set in motion, give
back the original conversation.
