sent for an ALLcoCK's PoRoUs PLASTER

ANOTHER GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT
The boring of the tunnel through Mount
Arlberg has just been completed. This work
ranks with the Mont Gents and Mont ST..
Gothard as among the great engineering
feats of the oge. The object of this new
line of travel is to shorten the distance be-
tween western Austria and eastern Switzer-
land. The total estimated cost is s., S92,
000 The boring commenced on the Aus
trian eide in June, 1880, and on the Swiss
side in the following September. This work
shows how engineering has advanced. In
the Mont Gents tunnel year was con-
sumed in cutting through 1851 feet. st
Gothard was bored at the rate of ). 474
feet, while the Arlberg was pierced at the
rate of 1850 feet year. Then the recent
work was done at much cheaper rate.
The Mont Cents tunnel cost 81. 900 per
running meter-393 inches-while the Arl-
berg tunnel cost only $3.50 per meter. The
traffic through this tunnel is expected to be
immense. The double track railway will
be kept constantly employed. What mar
wells modern engineering science is accom-.
plishing. The crossing Of the Alps by
Hannibal and Napoleon with their armies
were almost regarded as miracles but how
much more momentous is this piercing of
mountain chains, so as to establish swift
and easy communication between hitherto
hostile nations. The poet Cowper in hia
day lamented that intorposing mountains
"made enemies of nations" which had else
"like kindred drops been mingled into
one" But the mountain barriers are no
longer an obstacle keeping nations apart.
The engineer, as wei! as the telegraph and
the railway. is helping to make all the
world of one family.-[Demcrest Monthly.

History "a constantly making; and
in the matter Of political progress, is no.
where making more certain strides forward
than in cur own country. No recent
event, if We except the entry upon civil
service reform. Is more significant in this
history making and political progress than
the final passage by the houses of the New
York Legislature of what is known IS the
Roosevelt bill. In brief, it strips from
the venal Alderman of the chief city of
the nation the vaat power to dispense
patronage, and vests the great trust of ap.
pointments TO subordinate and non. elective
Offices IN the Mayor o. the city. 1t is not
needed that We ehoulj recall the history of
municipal Encouragement in New York
city, nor the inlamy attaching to the gov.
eminent OF that metropolis, to emphasize
the significance Of this victory over tAe
vicious rule that has Sc long prevailed
there. Under the Roosevelt bill municipal
reform in the United States will achieve
its first victories. Il vests in single man
a power not held by any other in the whole
land. L is q drastic measure, a severe
remedy. bu5 no more SO than the disease.

ton of inactivity into force would be SIM
ply absurd. That there may be special
and general election held at the same
time, presided over by the same officers,
and on the same ballots, snd yet be en-
tirely distinct and unrelated to each other,
was practically established by the Supreme
Court in the case of Kentfeld vs.. Irwin
go Cal. Reps.) and affirmed by implica-
ton in the Tilson case (5S Cal.
Reps.) There were two separate and
distinct elections on Tuesday, wholly unre-
lated to one another, and for which there
might have been separate and distinct
ballots required to be deposited in sepa-
rate and distinct ballot. boxes. The one
was general election for the city fixed
by law, the other special election on
single and distinct proposition, and only
those voting at that election are to be con-
sidered in ascertaining the aggregate OF
votes cast on that proposition. At one
of these elections there were cast $40
votes for and against levee Improvement,
and 2.6Sl of these were emphatically in
favor of improvement, as is the best sense
and good Judgment of the mass of the self
respecting people Of this city. There went
into the ballot boxes, however, ballots that
were blanks, simply blank papers as to the
proposition voted on, and IN no sense
votes, because, as the Courts say, a
vote is the expression Of the will
of the elector. These, it is now
claimed, must be counted as "noea, )" and
thus the emphatic affirmative of two
thousand six hundred voters of this city
be set aside and defeated. Whatever the
outcome-for from the meshes of legal en-.
tsnglemeut no man can venture to say
what may issue-this is established to the
sound oommou-sense satisfaction of the
people. that tie levee tax was ordered by
them. The Trustees should levy it, and
let the obstEuctionists stand before the
people as opposing their will and defeating
their commands. 1t will be fitting and
appropriate aequel TO the migrepresent-
alton, falsifcaiion, evasion and chicanery
that characterized the chief opponent Of
the system Of improvement, security and
prosperity in the late campaign. It is
enough for this journal 60 know that by
almost three to one the people indorse its
course and favor policy of permanency
and advancement for Sacramento, and that
ii will be carried cut. This fair Capital
city is not to be turned over to the tender
mercies Of retrogreasionista, but is to be
advanced upon the path of progress and
kept abreast with the times.
