Signaling Apparatus For Railroads


Among the many wonderful things
exhibited at the Worlds Exposition
will be an "electro mechanical signal
ing a%pparatus,' which gives promise OF
making railway travel in future atritle
safer than staying at home. This o
derful contrivancen not only gives warn
ing of such ordinary dangers as the APP
proach of wild" trains, obstacles upon
the track, or broken bridges or trestles,
but if the draw of a bridge is ever so
little out of place it rings a bell in the
engine cab. and another at the house or
post of the bridge keeper. II a trestle
OF culvert is out of linein any direction
SO as to create a danger. or if a tunnel
wall says in a threatening way,a faith
full little hand points out the danger
upon a dial, and the bell in the cab
rings sharply. waking the engineer if
asleep, and calling his attention to the
signal. Many inventions looking in
this direction have been patented and
are in use, but nothing has ever yet
been devised so perfect as this, which
indeed seems to leave nothing to be de-
sired. 1t is, or will be when perfected
according to the inventors plan, a me-
chanical realization of the little cher
ub that sits up aloft to take care of
poor Jack" tanned and transferred to
the service Of Jacks brothers who tray
el by land. The inventor of this
unique and comprehensive signal is
Mr.. NJ. Toulmin, formerly of Alabama.
His patent bears date Sept. 2, 1884. The
management of the Worlds Exposition,
we understand, will afford Mr.. Toulmin
every facility for giving a practical il
l%ustration of his wonderful inventions.

The Property Status OF Women

BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.-The Asssocia-
ton for the Advancement of Women
held an executive or secret session this
morning, from which the public gener-
ally and reporters particularly were eX.
cluded. During this session reports
were read from the Nice-Presidents of
the various States, Territories, and
Canada. The reports embody answers
to the following questions:
/. How many men more than p
years old in your State?
2. How many women more than q
years old are there IN the State?
3. How many families in the State I
4. What is the totaltaxable property
Of the State?
S. On what amount of this property
do women pay the taxes?
What proportion of family property
does the law of your State give the
widow?
The object of these inquiries is to de-
termine approximately the property
status of women and the legal estimate
Of the comparative value Of the servic-
es Of husbands and wives.

The Outcry Against Silver.

The coinage OF two million dollars OF
silver every month, though much of it
goes into store, is beneficial, because
while so many of these dollars are np-
parently idle, they are really doing ac'
tive work through their representatives,
the silver certificates. Some OF the
veal hiest capitalists OF the Atlantic
would ostracise "the dollar Of our dad
dies" and their policy seems to be ia.
yored by the present administration.
They urge that it is not intrinscally
worth gold dollar. 1t is not, but while it
passes within our own country for the
same value, II il only exporters OF specie
that suffer any Inconvenience on that
ground. Then II Is said, it is cumber.
some. II would be cumbersome ii 1t had
to be handled in large amounts, but the
silver certiti, ate is as easy to handle as
gold note, and two.thirds OF the people
of the United States never find their
pockets so over-burdened with money as
to complain Of the weight OF the silver
dollar. Again, it is said that it is costly
10 this government to provide secure de.
positories for this immense bulk and safe
guardians for its custody. The profit on
ITS coinage at the present prices OF silver
bullion covers that expense ten times
over, and the accidental destruction of
cei tain percentage Of the smaller certih.
Gates fully recompenses the government
for any annual expense its care may in
volve. That this useful coin does not
circulate more is largely the fault oi the
administration; its officers discourage
its payment out, and even forbid
it in some cases, Payments to
the employees of the very mints which
coin it are, by order OF the Director
made in gold, and silver Is only used
for fractional currency. Yet 1t would
be quite convenient to many of the
employees to receive port on OF their
wages in silver dollars. The fact is this
silver coinage stands in the way
OF selfish individual and corporate, mon
eyed wealth, cnching the active busi-
ness men, tho merchants and manufac.
turers, by making an unnatural scarcity
of coin or its representative an excuse
for demanding higher rates of interest
Tho growing wants of our gradually
increasing population would so eradu-
ally tighten money by contracting the
proportion Of circulating medium to
the business to be transacted, that they
would be tho masters of the stu.

erty woull decline in value, or rather
gold would artiticially rise, and it would
take more produce, more manufactures,
larger and better buildings and more
acres, to get exchange Tor any certain
amount of gold than it does now. The
debtor classes property would decline
in market value. and the creditors
classes liens would gain what the other
lost. Initiation would rob the mortgage,
but contraction, and there would be a
very perseptible contraction now going
on but for the silver coinage, would be
dead robbery of the industrious millions

IT is said that the directors OF the
Sixth District Fair are in favor of hold.
ing the exposition in the grounds OF the
association. 1t is to be hoped that the
rumor is untrue, or, if it be well found
ed, that the decision will be revoked.
Such an arrangement would not, in the
opinion of the HERALD, be pleasing to
the public in general. The only possible
motive for holding the exposition Mt the
park must be economy, but whether
this end would be attained is very
doubtful. There is nothing to be saved
but the rent Of building and to secure
a proper place cannot involve the ex-
penditure of great sum OF money, and
a greater sum would be lost by failure
to sell as many tickets as would be sold
were the park not so far away. 1t is
true that trains could be run to and fro,
but at night very few people could be
induced to avail OF them. 1t will be
both inconvenient and anti-economical
if the exposition be at Agricultural
Park.

Big Injuns.

The Arizona Methodist does not think
an Indian much better than white man,
aud indulges in some sound reflection,
as follows: "The San Carlos reservation
of about 1900 square miles for about
5000 Indians is absurd anyway. Two
square miles of land to every man,
woman and child in the tribes is really
more than they need. There is but lit
tie agricultural land in it. 1t is worth
nothing for game, and they
have but few cattle TO cat the
grass. The reservation ought to be re-
duced vastly in its limits regardless of
coal lands or other resources. 1t is too
much of a waste of the public domain,
especially as these same Indians are fed
by the government, and in his recon-
mendations us to segregating this tract
from the reservation, Gen. Johnson has
shown not only rare good sense, but
consideration for the rights of our peo'
Pile that is to be highly commended.

form League proposes to bring the matter
to the attention of the Attorney. General
and other prosecuting officers Of the
United States. The ofiice-holdcrs are
being inveigled into criminal liability by
Jones and Elkins. It will be remem-
bered that two years ago Curtis. Treas
urer of the Republican State Committee
of New York. was fined one thousand
dollars for collecting political assess
ments, and that the committee paid the
fine out OF the very funds he had collect
cd. Jones aud Elkins, however. would
not, II they could, pay all the lines
which will be imposed. for they
will need all the money they
can get their hands on for
purposes more useful to Mr. Blaine.
And II courts shall see fit to imprison
the criminals, Jones and Elkins could
not help them in any way. The nnfor-
tunate oiIce.holders are in dilemma
which has three horns instead OF two,
and will clutch all three. They will
part with their money, be prosecuted
criminally and their official heads will be
Topped off by the knife of the Demo-
cratic Quillotine. II the oiiice.holders
have proper ideas on the subject Of econ
omy they will refuse to be induced to re-
spond favorably to the demand OF Jones

need all the spare change OF which they

sinnulnr that while

IT is singular that while money is
cheap in the great business centers ol
the East, the revival of trade which gen
ernlly follows the removal of stringency
in the money market has not taken
place. Possibly this state Of affairs is
due to the political campaign, for during
the campaign which precedes prcsi'
Dental election there is always notable
dullness in business of all kinds. Why
this should be the case is not very ap'
parent, but 80 it is. The price OF steel
rails may be considered as indicative oil
the price of most other commodities,
aud they have touched lower point
than they ever before have reached in
the United States.

PRINCE BISMARCK energetically fol
lows out his plan of making Germany
independent OF American productions
A few days ago the first train OF tank
cars containing Russian petroleum
crossed the eastern frontier of the Ger
man Empire. 1t is thought Russian Pc
troleum will be so much cheaper than
the American article in the markets OF
Germany that the petroleum trade with
America will fall off Immediately and
finally cease altogether. Producers OF
petroleum in this country need not feel
very greatly alarmed by reason OF tho I'll

for petroleum increases yearly, to say
nothing of the constantly increasing de-
mand in other parts OF the world, and
there will be no noticeable decrease oi

THIS year the Republican sack is not
very plethoric. The great capitalists OF
the East who supplied Dorsey with su.
perabundant "soap" are not responding
as literally to the request Of Jones and
Elkins. Yet these gentlemen are cum
ming masters Of their trade and what
money they do get will be applied where
II will do the most good. Dorsey WAS a
spendthrift and never would have done
this year. Jones is careful political
financier and will spend no money fool
ishly.

The opinion of the great journals
Of New York concerning the Maine
election is commendable for its impair
tiality and cannot fail to be shared by
impartial men, even among Republi'
cans. The Republican majority should
have been much greater than it was
when it is remembered that MIR. Blaine
himself planned and directed the can
yass and that while the Republican sack
was opened the Democratic National
Committee did nothing to contest the
election. As the World says, Blaine's
candidate should have received ma
jority of at least twenty thousand votes.
As it is, the Republicans cannot find
much cause fer any great amount of re-
joicing, although they will affect to do so.
