The Telephones of Europe.


The Ingenieur publishes statistics OF
the telephone lines in operation in the
different European countries at the
end OF 1884. It appears from this
statement that there has been a uni
form increase during the past year as
compared with 1883: In Italy ten
cities possessed telephone lines at the
end of 1884, against the same number
in 1883; but the number of subscribers

phone; in 1884, 81 cities, with 1871
subscribers, an increase of $50 per

AT THE LAST.
BY ALICE WELLINGTON ROLLINS

How softly through the window comes the air
Dear breathe easier. In the street below,
hear the sound Of carriages; know
The day is bright; and yet-how can they care!
In the dim light the chiidren's faces grow,
Kiss me and fold your arms around me-so-
In the old way. How strange that can bear
The thought of parting! Can it be that this
Is what we have so dreaded, and that
Lie here untroubled, knowing must miss
So soon the warm touch Of your hand, and lie
Unanswering your tlong lingering kiss?
o, love. dear love, it is not hard to die!

DISTRICT ATTORNEY DICK
6OX.
The Salt Lake Tribune says:

uC CdiU lLdkc says.
In the line of exact Justice it is
only proper to advise this commun
ity, and beyond the country, of
what District Attorney Dickson is
doing. He is giving this people
an idea of what thoroughly hon
est and thoroughly energetic and
brave man can do when he is given
holy trust to execute. He is as
capable as he is honest; as sincere
as he is modest. His is one Of
those rare natures, that, knowing
his duty thoroughly, thoroughly
performs it He IS here under oath
to d" his duty. and, without any
attempt at displa", he is moving
along the line If his duty, and
giving, in conjunction with Judge
Zane, this people such an idea of
the MAJESTY and dreadful power Of
the law as they meyer dreamed Of
before. The raying Of their press
against him is but a double con-
fession: first. of their fear, and,
second. that he is above any cor
rupt approaches by them. Nor
monism is shaken as it never has
been before The Oldest and
shrewdest chiefs of the church ad-
init that these are the darkest !
hours the church has ever seen:
and some confess that it will be !
impossible to bear up for six
months longer under the blows

due to Jld re Z,re and Mr.. Dixon,
and the sterling stuff which is re-
quired in men who do what these
men are doing should be appre-
ciated. There will be change of
administration next month. The
Democrats Of this city should see
to it that Mr. Dickson record as
an officer here is laid before Mr..
Cleveland. and that Mr.. Dickson is
not removed Utah has been wait
ing for score Of years for Dis
trict Attorney. 1t has one now
one who has no hope or desire ex-

who knows thoroughly that duty,

be no loss to Mr. Dickson to lose

Mexican Matters.

MEXICO, via Galveston. September 49,
Rains continue throughout the south
ern part of the republic. The National
Railway has experienced bad washout
between Celaya and San Miguel. On
the Central Railway are seven gangs of
workmen, about 1 800 men in all, en-
gagged in making repairs as fast as the
the rains will permit 1t is estimated that
it will cost between $50, 1000 and $75, 900
to repair the washouts. 1t Will probably
be necessary to relay the entire track
between Mariscala and Celaya, a dis
lance of about twenty-five kilometres.
An iron bridge was washed away, the
torrent tearing off the Orders as if they
were straws. Provided no more rain
falls in tie flooded districts, through
trains, it is expected, can run to

or Thursday. No mail has yet

Mad Employees.

3 OMAHA. September 29.-The formal
answer of the Knights of Labor to the
recent manifesto of Manager Galloway
OF the Union Pacific, has been received
at headquarters from Denver. 1t is a
lengthy document, signed by the
executive committee CT the Union
Pacific employees, Thomas Nesham,
chairman, the substance being a crit
icism of Calloway's letter, and charging
MIN with trying to mislead the public,
accusing him of making misstatements
and championing the cause OF the
Chinese, charging him with knowing
both Beckwith and Quinn and D. o.
Clark, the former being contracting
agents, and the latter general super
intendent of the coal department; when
apprised of the grievances that occurred
at Rock Springs, instead of trying to
redress the same added to them.
The Knights emphatically state
that they abhor the action
taken by the outraged miners as much
as any one; they inform the Union Pa
ciic that it can get all the white labor
it requires fro n citizens of this country;
there is no excuse for the retention of
Chinese. We are law abiding citizens,
say they, and we mean to remain so,
until our rights and liberties are jeopar
died; then the first law of nature will
guide us. They charge Galloway with
an abuse of confidence in giving recent
private correspondence TO the public;
they further state that they did not
make any demand, but simply sent in a
request. A petition asking the Union
Pacific directors to remove the Chinese
from the company's employ is now be-
ing circulated in Omaha and all along
the entire road for the signatures of
citizens as well as employees.
