Globe Democrat: The recent Dakota
blizzard Is described as having made It's
appearance on a warm, sunshinY day,
and as looking at q distance like a solid
white wall, moving with great velocity.
So dense was 1t with frost and ice that
objects only few feet away could not
be seen, and persons oVertaken by 1t
were at once bewildered and benumbed,
and many lost their lives before they
could reach q place Of safety. The
source Of these storms seems TO be as
much OF q mystery as the origin of the
hurricane or cyclone, to which they cor
respond in q good many respects; but
the general belief is that they are pro-
duced by Arctic wind currents chilling
the watery vapor from the Pacific, the
condensation augmenting as the
storm sweeps onward. Observa-
tons are now being made on the MOTH
ern coast of Alaska with view to ascer-
tanning something definite about the
character and general influence OF these
mysterious currents, and 1t is hoped tn 4
the result may be such as to furnish
means for anticipating the blizzard,
and thus robbing 1t Of much of its pres.

The investigation OF the Mississippi
outrsges in New Orleans draws out some
curious facts illustrating the state of the
Democratic mind in the old repudiating
state. The other day q white man named
Sessions, who was present at the Demo
cratic meeting which passed resolutions
approving the murder of Seriff Matthews
testified:
"Some three hundred or four hundred
Democrats were there, but he only heard
one Of them object to the resolutions
Bailey, one of the mob, made = more ap.
propriate speech, although To Sessions II
seemed tribe tedious. Bailey congrat
ulated the Democracy IN having won q
great victory
"Some one cried out. Tell US what
they did down in Beat g. Bailey an
swered: Me and my friend Wheeler
(tne murderer) went down TO Beat 3. We
thought we would stump It, but finally
made up our minds that we could Dc
more good In the s4ddle.' This called
forth great applause He continued
When we started out we took along

There Is a good deal ofhumbug in the
effort to make an appropriation from
the national treasury for schools, and the
Chicago Current well says that ii is not
very creditable to the intelligence of the
congressman who are endeavoring 70 Sc
cure from $1O0,OOO,O0O to $3.50, 900, 900
from the public treasury to be distrib-
uted among the states for educational
purposes, that they have dwelt In such
an exaggeratlve manner upon the illit-
eracY OF the country. They have weak
ened their cause by repeatedly declaring
that nearly every state in the Union Is
dominated" by voters who can neither
read nor write. This is not true. There
is not state in the Union dominated by
ilkterates, north or south. The Hitter
ate voters are dominated by the intelli-
gent workers of all political parties, and
they never have voted en- mdSse with Sc
cret understanding for or against any
political measure. They are divided
when they vote, and like thousands of
voters who can read and write huently,
are subject to the persuasion, direction,
purchase or Intimidation of politicians
who can read and write. The danger to
the country Is not from the existence of
an illiterate element now known to have
been decreasing for some years, but from
the Vaccinations OF educated, mlsdirect-
ing, corrupt groups OF politicians who
make up the states and control prIma-
ries. The illiterates dominate no state
but literate politicians do dominate the
illiterate vote which is preyed upon by
the several political parties in the states.
The political corruption lie duo not to
illiterates as such, but TO the influence
Of reading, writing-intelligen men,
and a. the $3.50, 100000 subsidy is asked
for the purpose of saving the states from
political corruption, the money, If OBJ
tained, might just as probably be ex.
pended doing missionary work among
the intelligent, educated, misleading,
corrupting politicians, who get as many
lettered voters TO keep bad men In office
a. unlettered.

Mexico is making rapid strides in
the direction Of civilization ami pro
gress. The veil Of ignorance and super
sutton IL rapidly giving way before the
cOnquering spirit OF thrift and enter
prise which dominates this continent
The American railroad is the means
which il bringing about this change, and
when We now contemplate the subject it
Is q matter Of wonder that it has been 50
long coming.
As was announced yesterday, by
General Passenger Agent White.
trains will soon be running 70
Mexico City over the Santa Fe
and Mexican Central routes This is
part of the progressive policy entered
upon by Pornrio Diaz. after he bad. by
9 sharp revolution, unseated Lerdo de
Tejada, and obtained control of the
Mexican treasury and government eight
years ago. Diaz, a few years ago, was
Q very badly abused Mexican, but he
has shown q courage and diplomacy and
shreWdness which marked him As one
of the brightest intellects in his country.
The concessions Of the Mexican govern
ment 10 railroad companies have been
very liberal. The subsidies pledged
amounting to aboute 1000. OOO, much
Of which will probably be forfeited
through failure of the companies to full
I'LL the conditions. About !, 800 miles of
railroad have been constructed in Mexico
by American capital. Under Diaz's
successor, President Gonzalez, who OBJ
tainsd the presidency by bargain with
Diaz, the policy OF the latter has been
followed and Mexican revenues have
been increased fifty per cent, which has
enabled Gonzalez to keep the army raid
up to date, and ready TO assist In the
transfer Of the presidency this year from
himself again TO Diaz. A presidential
election in Mexico Is farce, but there
are few people outside of Mexico who
/ would not rather see Mexico really
prospering and developing under q
Gonzalez Diaz combination than disin-
tegrAtinR and degeneratIng under &
horde OF contending swashbucklers
without railroads and with little business
enterprise of any kind.
No one who has seen the old Mexican
civilization, and observed its methods
but must conclude that the transition
to better state OF things will now bt
speedy. The country is one of greai
resources. They have been kept from
proper development by the dark cloud
of ignorance which has hung upon the
country for centuries. This will now b
rapidly dispelled. The new order o.
things is beng welcomed by the indu.
ential classes of Mexicans. The inter
course with the country which will b.
creatad by these great railroads will b
of immense benefit to Kansas and the
West in general. The spectacle of 1
rejuvinated and newly born Mexican re
public, Is one OF the grandeGt accomplish
ments of this generation.

Discovery OF New and Powerful Motor.
CHICAGO. March 1.-The announce.
ment is made of the discovery OF q new
and remarkable motor, known
ss the triple thermic motor.
The nav motive power is the
vapor of bisulphide of carbon. Il has
been in practical use in drying sixty
horse power engine for six months past
in a cement paving manutacturY on
Forty Sixth street, New York. The DIS
cOverer of the means for Supplying the
new power and the inventor Of the
machinefy adopted to its
use is w. D. Calwel1, formerly of Pitts
burg, who, it Is claimed, has been al
work for many years on the application
of the same msterlal from which the
vapor is generated. Bisulphide of car
The force and power of the vapor in its
application far surpasses that of steam.
Its application and regulation is already
under more perfect and safe control
than steam. The invention or discov-
cry consists in evolving bisulphide
OF carbon into vspor for
operating machinery by generating
heat in the generator and transferring II
to a vessel containing bisulphlde OF
carbon. The latent heat of the steam
is utilized into vapor, only lis
degrees being necessary to pro-
duce this VapOr. A prominent engineer
OF Chicago, in giving the result OF his
| examination of the new motor, says: 81
saw 15-horse power boiler with very
little fire under it generating steam,
which generated the new mo.
