A CORRESPONDENT of the E5aBliner
takes that journal to task for not printing
the fresh aud searching" argument of
Rev. VIM. Powick, at the anniversary
meeting OF the Women's Christian Tenn.
perance union the other evening. As the
Rev. Powick is reported to have said that
tavern keepers are as bad as the keepers of
houses OF prostitution, aud that siguers to
petitions for license are just as bad, and
the judges not much bstter, possibly the
Examiner thought that Rev. Powck's
argument" like himself, was little too
"fTesh."
The blrbid wire industry has made
millions for many men. Miles upon m lies
of it aIe now in use and its territory il
yearly extending. A Worcester firm
bought up all the barbed wire patents
issued during the war and for ten years
after re.issued them and crushed out the
smaller factories Of tho West. The
monopoly then raised the price of the wire
two cents per pound, burden that was
particularly felt in Iowa. A pucky
association of farmers in the latter state
have engaged in the manufacture OF the
wire, and at the present time they are
slightly ahead Of the Worcester monopoly
by reason Of recent United States su prone
court decisions against the abuses of re
issued patents. The breaking down of
this monopoly will tend to cheaper barbed
wire AL over the land.

Mr.. Armstrong; First Lecture.

No phase of European affairs during the
present century has exercised over the
mind of Christendom fascination equal
to that of Russian nihilism. The mystery
of its methods, the ferocity of its
attacks. and the desperate persist
ence of its followers in the face of death,
aud the combined military and police
force of the great Russian empire directed
against it, have contributed to this fascina-
tion. With this subject Mr.. William
Jackson Armstrong opens his course
of lectures in this city at Lin
coin hall next Tuesday evening, and
it is probably safe to say that no Ameri-
can is so we'll prepared, either by study
or experience of the subject on Russian
ground, to handle it according to its de-
serts as Mr.. Armstrong.

NOT READY FOR ELECTRICITY.

The Commissioners Declare street
lighting Can Only be Done by
Underground Wires.
Tho commissioners yesterday sent q
letter to the manager of the Brush-Swan
Electric Light company, stating that they
have decided that they cannot properly
makeany award for the electric lighting of
Pennsylvania avenue, or any of the pro-
posals submitted by the company.
The commissioners also sent the fol-
lowing letter to tho manager Of tho
United States company: "rhc purpose Of
the commissioners letter Of the 25th
ultimo was to obtain specific propositions
for electric lighting on the avenue, sub
iect to certain general conditions which
were distinctly laid down, one Of which
was especially noted as Imperative"
The proposition contained in your letter
| Is no manner subject to these conditions,
and, therefore, cannot be regarded rs
| proposal such as was solicited, nor can it
fairly no compared with any other pro-
posul submitted under the conditions i'm.
| posed. Your proposition contemplates no
trial PERIOD but experience has demon-
strated to the commissioners the impor.
| lance oil insisting oil tnlS as safeguard
against the permanent establishment of q
system that may turn out to be an OBJ
| jeCtiouabo one. Again, you ask that the
commissioners modify what they have
designated as the imperative requirement.,
| viz, that in any permanent system Of
electric lighting the wires shall all bc
placed underground ut once; they believe
the underground system is perfectly feasi-
BILE; but if they are mistaken on this point,
1t is their emphatic opinion that tho time
for the electric lighting of this city has
not yet come. 1t can hardly be doubted
that, in tho minds Of most citizens. tho
grave objections to an extensive system
of overhead electric light wires will out
weigh all advantages that may follow tho
introduction of this light as a substitute
for gas. For these reasons the commits
sioncrs are compelled to decline your
proposition"

ton to discuss matters relative to their
calling. This year they meet in San
Francisco, and, being body of men who,
when on a vacation, wish to make the
most of it in the way of recreation and
comfort, they naturally choose the route
to their meeting place, which guarantees
them greatest immunity from danger and
the most facilities for sight seeing and
enjoyment en- voyage.
They have an open credit with the rail.
roads, for all lines transport them free of
charge, hence their choice is voluntary
act upon their part, This year, the great
bulk of the fraternity chose the Great
Rock Island Route, and were carried to :.
ward the Occident in half dozen of the
magnificent new Pullman cars. for which
this great route is noted. They chose
wisely and well, since they passed over a
road with the smoothest of track, through
a country of surprising fertility and love-
illness, and while journeying ate the best
viands the market afforded, cooked and
served in the very best manner, and at
night slept in the most luxurious sleeping
cars to be found in the United States
A true Engineer is observant and quick
to discern danger. There is nothing
needless or reckless in the composition of
the Knights of the Foot board, hence
their choice of the Rock Island route, was
compliment and testimonial from men
best qualified to judge, that they believed
that the Chicago, Rock Island s. Pacific
Railway, combines in its road bed, equip>
ment and management, all the qualities
that makes railway worthy the patron
age of the public.

UNITED STATES MaRSHALS.
Synopsis of the Long Expected
Springer Report.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 1.-The ma
jority report of the Springer committee on
TIE United State, marshals accounts is made
public. 1t is signed by the Democratic men,
bers of the committee, and says: "A stream
never rises above its source. and as long
as those who possess the power of appoint
ing these officers have no appreciation of the
true dignity of the public service, and re-
gard the offices only as rewards to be be-
slowed upon their most unscrupulous polit-
ical allies, there is not much reason TO hope
for any great improvement in the character
Of our appointed officials" The report
then goes on to charge utter inef
ficiency and great criminality in the
service for many years past, and says the in
vestigation reveals that the officers of this
branch of public service of almost every
state have plundered the public by fictitious
charges and other fraudulent means-charg-
ing for arrests not made, travel not per
formed, expenses not incurred and guards
not employed; arrested persons on false
charges, extorted money from private citi-
Zens "and i'll ways without number have
swindled the government and oppressed the
people"
The report, referring to the star route
frauds, says that during the Hayes admins
tration over $1,000, 900 was fraudulently oh
| tanned by star-routerS, and that in one year
S450,000 was paid in maintaining routes
which yielded a revenue of but $4,000.

OFF FOR THE GOLD FIELDS.
Excitement I'm Montana Over Al
legged Gold Discoveries.

FoRT KEoGH, Oct. 1.-The excitement
over the gold discoveries in the Little Rocky
mountains is much greater than ever, and
stampeders are pushing into the mines in
great numbers from all sides. Fifty
prospectors left Fort Benton a few days
ago with Mackinaw boats, loaded with
winter supplies, W hich then ioated down the
Missouri to Rocky Point, only eighteen miles
distant, from Discovery Point The road
from Rocky Point is a good one, and a
vehicle of any kind can be driven right into
the gulch without difficulty. Many cowboys
from the Judith and Musselshen basins have
stopped herding cattle and gone into the
mines. Nearly all the civilian employees, and
great many soldiers desertersl have
left Fort Assiniboine and entered the Little
Rocky camp, where they intend to remain
until spring At least five or six hundred
gold-seekers will winter in the mountains.
Every wagon and pack animal in the vicinity
is being utilized for the purpose of hauling
supplies into the gulch for the use of those
who intend to winter there Although the
new mines are on an Indian reservation, nc
attempt is being made, either by the Indian
department or the government, to expel the
intruderS
