The present Superintendent of State Prisons,
Mr.. Isaac V. Baker, jr., is man of whom TIE
TRIBUNE has spoken with great trankness in
times past Equal candOr seems to be
demanded now by the exhibit which Mr..
Baker makes of his administration.
The first six months of the fiscal
year under Superintendent Plsbuy showed a
deficiency of $1,000; the last six months I'M
der superintendent Baker show surplus Of
500, 900, the year having a surplus Of over
Sc. 600, which is said to be the best report the
prisons have ever made. 1t was asserted by
Governor Cornelrs friends at the time of the
appointment that il would be justified 10y the
results Of Mr. Bakers administration. This
seems true already, and Mr.. Baker is proving
himself most efficient officer.

There has recently been perfected, after
some three years of patient study and in
vestigation, an invention that bids fair to
revolutionize the present method of tele-
graphic transmission of dispatches. 1t is
called the Synchronous Multiplex System
of Telegraphy, and the inventor is Mr..
Patrick B. Delany, Of New York. Briefly
stated the result of Mr.. Delany's discov-
cry is to enable numerous Geographic dis
patches to be simultaneously transmitted
over one telegraph wire. Hitherto, the
greatest namber that could be SO sent was
limited to four, as in the well known quad
rupleX system, but in the synchronous-
multipleX system the division Of single
line has been carried as far as seventy-two,
and the limit in this direction does not yet
appear to have been reached. The value
of the discovery will by no means be di-
minished when it is known that in the
synchronism system, unlike the quadru-
pick system. these messages can be sent
either all in the same direction, OF any
number in one direction, and the remainder
in the opposite direction.

Never has it fallen to the lot of an

A Case that Puzzled the Whole
Faculty.

Mrs. Milo Ingrum gave the names of
some of the most reputable physicians in
the two cities (Pittsburg and Alleghany)
to whom she had paid large sums of mon
ey for treatment, but she rapidly grew
worse She was then taken to the most
reputable physicians and surgeons in New
York, but with no better success. They
had all pronounced it cancer, and declared
she must die. The flesh of her breast was
eaten away down to her ribs; the breast
bone was laid bare. and the disease made
it's way upwards, causing the breast to be-
come detached from the wall or the chest,
hanging loose from above. See page 26,

President Arthur.

Whether President Arthur shall be the
nominee OF the Chicago Convention in
1884 or not, his clean, circumspect admin
istration will go far to elect whoever may
be the chosen standard bearer of the Re-
publican party in the next Presidential
contest Under his wise and sagacious
conduct of the affairs Of the Nation, he
has brought harmony into the ranks of the
party, inspired the organization with fresh
zeal and placed it on vantage ground that
will serve an admirable and effective pur-
pose next year. 1t has required large
amount Of practical sense to do what has
been done since President Arthur took the
oath of office. To allay fractional acerbi-
ties, to adjust conflicting preiudices and
ambitions and unite in party fraternity
all the divergent and warning elements
that existed in the Republican party, was
no ordinary work. 1t has been done with
out ostentation OF apparent effort. Guided
by high sense of duty to the country, all
interests have been consulted in admins
trative measures. Factions have been ig-
nored. The Spirit of strife and conten
ton has felt rebuked in the presence of a
sentiment above its malign influence, and
throughout the nation a feeling of conf
dence prevails, such as has distinguished
no administration for years past.
The influence emanating from such q
condition of things, cannot fail to have a
most salutary effect upon the interests of
the party which the President represents.
and relieve it of all embarrassments, not
only in the deliberations of the convention
to choose his successor, but in the cam
paign which is to result in his election.
Whatever may be the action of the Ma
tional Convention of 1884, therefore, the
healthy administration of President Ar
thur will largely contribute to the success
of its choice, and again place in power
for another term the party which has
guided the destinies of the country for the
past quarter of century.

Unjust.

A number of our republican eXchan-
ges, with more bitterness than good
Judgment, are heaping abuse upon Mis-
souri, because of the acquittal OF Frank
James. Missouri is no more to blame
for the acquittal than is Kansas, and
no attempt to make political capital out
of the verdict will be successful. Mis-
souri, is to-day one of the most prosper
GUS states of the Union; under Gov.
Crittenden's administration she has
been completely cleared Of her outlaw
bands; her record Of crime will COM
pare favorably with that of any state,
and her laws are as well enforced as the
laws of any Commonwealth. The res
possibility of the trial was placed on
twelve men, and their failure to do JUS
tice can in no way be fastened on the
State. Render unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars" If it was not SO
ridiculously impudent it would be hui
morous, for republican papers to charge
that democratic communities favor
criminals. What is the record of the
republican party since 1865?

Neumuller Nominated.

On Saturday, September 18th, the
democrats of the Sd Commissioner Dis
tict met in Wall Brothers Hall, for
the purpose of nominating a Commits
sioner for the District. The conven-
ton was called to order at 2 O'Clock,
P. NJ, by the chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the district, Col
L. SWigart, who, in a few appropriate
and well-timed remarks, explained the
object of the meeting. After which,
on motion, the Colonel was made per-
manent chairman. Nominations then
being in order, Col. Swigart and III. j..
G.. Neumuller, Esq, were put IN NOM
nation. The Colonel very respectfully
declined the nomination and Mr.. Neu-
muller was unanimously nominated by
reclamation. This is very fortunate
nomination, as Mr.. Neumuller is one
of the most popular men Of the dis
trict with democrats and republicans
alike; and we predict his election by a
large majority. The convention was a
large and harmonious one, not a jar or
scism cropped out during it's delibera-
tons. After passing vote OF thanks
to Wall Bros. for the use of their hall
the convention adjourned sine die.

Martin Luther.

The quatre-centenary Of the birth Of
Martin Luther, the great refOrmer, was
celebrated at Wittenberg, Germany, last
Thursday. The city was prOfusely dec
GRATED, two thousand clergymen were
present, and the visitors, from Thurin-
gia, Brandenburg and SaXony, num-
bered fifty thousand. Colossal bustS Of
Luther and his highly educated and
sweet-tempered lieutenant, MelancthOn,
were placed on the balcony of the town
hall.
Martin Luther is the greatest name
in modern Christian literature, and es-
pecially is it worshipped by the Ger
man people, among whom the great re-
former was born. His work against the
Papal abuses Of that time was warmly
seconded by the German people, and
his attitude before the Diet of Worms
made him the hero of the nation. SIM
gle handed, he had fought the battle
of Germany against the Pope. He had
hazarded his life for the sake of the
Fatherland. 1t was this attitude which
has made his name a household word
with the Germans, and which will per-
petuate it. There is no name in the
roll of German historic heroes so Ger
man, national and typical as Luther's.
