A Trying Case.

We remember an eminent member of
congress and Jealous revenue reformer
put the educational question, as it con-
Germs the laboring man, to us in the fol-
lowing pathetic way: "Now, take one
of the poor farmers from my congress
sional district that poor old fellow comes
home from his work, every night. tired
to DEATH and has no comfort of his life
except his pipe. He smokes and chews
fifty pounds of tobacco year, on which
this government makes him pay reve.
nue. of eight dollars. He lives in mala'
rious district, and can't afford doctor,
but drinks good deal of whiskey to keep
out the ague, on every gallon of which
the government plumbers him of ninety
cents. Now, sir, how can that poor man
buy clothes to send his children to school,
or school books to use when they get
there ?" Nine-tenths of the abuse OF
the public school by the so-cslled "labor-
ing classes has the same foundation as
this deliverance by statesman of ma
tional reputation. II the "poor old fell
low in the case would give up his wits.

ness, that keep him a drudge, and toe

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sOLidity, while
the ,prittea guarantee of the manufacturers
parranting each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, IA, Dec IA. 1880.

spent for drink more than 100000, 900,
and the entire sum raised by taxes of all
kinds-national, state, county, city, town,
and school districts stated, on authority
of the census bureau, to be not more than
about 700,000,000.
In this connection 1t should be said that
the "National Temperance Almanac !"
places the value of liquor sold in the
United States in one year at $1,000
100000, an amount greater by 800. 000,-
900 than the estimate here offered. As
long ago as 1870-a year when the rev.
enue from the government tax on distilled
liquor was about twenty million dollars
less than 1t now is, and when the national
income from fermented liquor was about
one third of the present income-Dr.
Young, the chief of the national bureau
of statistics, affirmed that our bill for
drink exceeded $600,000000. The hope,
therefore, is entertained that the estimate
here made, of $900,000,0O0, will appear
just.
In this aggregate no account is taken
of the indirect cost to the nation of its
intemperance. 1t is generally acknowl-
edged that intemperance is cause, more
or less efficient, of nine-tenths of all
crimes committed that it is the princi-
pal cause which makes and keeps about
a million persons public paupers, at an an
nual cost of 800 100000 that it is lead
ing factor in causing one-third of all cases
of insanity and that to it is due the fact
that out of at least six thousand idiots in
this country four.fifths are born of intern
perate parents. These results, though
hardly capable of arithmetical compre-
hension, are nevertheless positive aud of
| enormous proportions. In any compre-
hensive judgment of the amount of the
nations drink bill they should be in
cluded.
It remains to point out, with whatever
OF detail space may permit, the precise
scope of the value of the other products
with which the cost of liquor is compared
The last census states that the value OF
the products of the Touring and gristmills
for 1880 was 1906, 1856. 712. The largest
part of this yield was consumed on these
shores. The exports of -four of that year
were valued at only 1888 1877. The
third column of the table, representing
the "meat bill, is the value of the prod
ucts of the Strengthening and meat-pack

only such as are usually thus designated
but also carpets, felt goods, gloves, NIT
tens, hosiery, knit goods, mixed textiles

26S,729, and of cotton goods 10,950,

The Liquor League Defying the Laws.

In a speech, recently, Hon. William M.
Evarts announced some plain facts con-
corning the growing insolence of the liquor
dealers. az have SEEM" he said, what l
never expected to see in country like this,
a new band of L. L. D.'s-a league of liquor
dealers-that are going to determine what
shall be the law and what shall be the
methods, as between temperance and in
were no mere facetious words, calculated
merely to excite smile or a ripple of ap-
plause, but they were expressive of solid,
notorious fact. Everywhere the gauntlet
of defiance has been thrown down to the
sober, law-abiding and prosperous people
of this nation, and if we have the least
expectation of keeping this government to-
gether, half drunk and half sober, the
sooner our minds are disabused of this
notion the better for all concerned. The
Ohio liquor dealers have declared that
the Scott law is in direct violation OF
the wise provisions of the constitution OF
Ohio" and that in their opinion it ought
to be repealed by the legislature. Here
is direct conflict with the supreme court
of the state, which has decided the law tc

less than painful to every patriotic either

of "city fathers" If the liquor dealers

Mexican Central Railway.

The Chicago Interior remarks that
"the closing of the gap between the
northern aud the southern sections of the
great Mexican Central railway unites in
one unbroken track the principal cities
of our own land with those of our south
ern neighbor. From Chicago one con-
tinuous line stretches away to Kansas
City, thence to Ell Paso, on the Mexican
border, aud on over the great dividing
ridge to the city of Mexico, a distance of
5000 miles. The western hemisphere
presents no more attractive line of travel,
and none more interesting In diversity of
scenery, climate and peoples. From Ell
Paso on the north, the Mexican road trav-
erses in its whole length the great central
plateau, which comprises more than three
fourths of all Mexico, and upon which
nine-tenths of its population is found.
Everywhere upon that plateau the climate
approaches that of the lower attitudes of
New Mexico, which is pronounced one of
the most healthful on the continent. No
where does the route penetrate the low
lying tierras calientes, the climatic differ
ence between which and the central
plateau is that between the shores of the
Amazon and the she res of Lake Michigan
in midsummer. Crossing the southeast
ern corner of Colorado, it rises, in the
Ration pass, to an elevation of 5000 feet
at the boundary line of New Mexico, and
between that point and the Mexican
capital maintains an average altitude Of
more than 5000 feet. The region trav-
ersed by the northern half of the road,
while comparatively unsettled, is far from
being the barren desert which it has been
described. Indeed, the road passes through
only three absolutely barren tracts, the
first lying Immediately beyond the Bravo
and extending nearly half way to the city
of Chihuahua, the second around Mspimi,
in Durango, and the third, an absolute
desert, in the state of Zacatecas. The
great grazing region begins north of
Chihuahua and stretches southwark into
the state of Durango, where it is amply
watered by number of large streams,
that lose themselves in isolated lakes.
From the southern border of Zacatecas to
the Mexican capital the road traverses a
populous country of great and uniform
fertility, the local traffic of which has
from the beginning shown satisfactory
balance on the savings side of the ledger.
On the northern part of the line the local
business has not yet paid, but traffic re-
ports have shown 30 steady and encour
aging an increase as to insure the success
of the enterprise. As route for tourists
there is little doubt that the line will be
favorite one, while the commercial ad
vantages which must follow the construc
ton of a road into the rich grazing snG
mineral regions of Central Mexico will b
well-nigh incalculable."

How the Treasury is Guarded.

Seldom or never is any attempt made
to rob great public treasures, or even the
safety deposit vaults in the great cities,
as too much difficulty is encountered for
the success of any such scheme 1t is
said that Treasurer Spinner at Washing
ton once found himself 80 nervous at
night, having the feeling that something
was wrong at the treasury, that he got up
and dressed and started for that building,
when he was met by messenger coming
to tell him that safe containing millions
Of dollars had been found unlocked.
Whether the story is true or not, it is
certain that great caution is taken there
against theft and robbery. The Bali
more american, in giving an account of
the visit of party of Euglishmen, tells
what they learned as follows edo you
see this armory ?" said Captain Cobaug h,
the chief of the force, to your correspond
emit to-day, opening door as he did SO
and displaying line after line of loaded
revolvers. They were of the largest and
best variety known to the military au-
thorities. ave have sixty men armed with
these" he said, and nearly all old SOL
diers. l should like to see any successful
attempt to rob the treasury. These men
are divided into watches, and are on duty
in all parts of the building at all hours.
After the force of clerks and officials
goes home at night, our officers enter and
inspect every room, see that the safes
are all locked, the heating apparatus all
right and the water turned off. If a safe
is found unlocked, a man is put in
charge of it, and the person whose duty it
was to see it locked is sent for. OF
course it does not often happen, and the
man who does forget once to lock his safe
does not forget twice but occasionally we
do find one open. Then after the rooms
are inspected and the guard set, the lieu
tenant makes his rounds every two hours,
and the Waterman patrols his beat every
fifteen minutes or oftener." Has there
ever been an attempt, successful OF
otherwise, to rob the treasury ?" "Never
1t would be an impossibility."
