have never given but one dose IN each case to
cure the chills and fever permanently. 1t is
as harmless as water, and as sure TO cure with
one dose as the summer sun is to melt ice, and
if the people of the United States were aware
of such remedy being in Little Rock ARK, it
would be sent out in train loads. 1t is certainly
the greatest remedy for chills on earth.

The New York Sm applauded the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Phelps to England when
il was made, but now is not SO warmly in
clined TO Il. 1t is disposed TO criticise Mr..
Phelps; and disclose the reason why in its
statement that Mr.. Tilden smade no effort
TO prevent the appointment of Mr.. Phelps"
though "it is true that Phelps has long been
an undisguised and rather virulent foe of
Mr.. Tilden; but probably Mr.. Cleveland
was not aware Of this when he
determined 10 appoint him to the
most important and desirable of ouI
foreign missions" And probably, too, Mr..
Tilden was not aware that Mr.. Cleveland
was thinking of appointing Mr.. Phelps
else he would have made an effort to pre-
vent the appointment.
The Sun shines for Mr.. Tilden, and
swears by him all the time; but the illum
ination of Mr.. Tilden and the Sun from the
White House apparently is susceptible o.
increase. And the Sun says it had bettel
come if Mr.. Cleveland wants TO carry New

New Orleans has as many pupils attending
public schools as Philadelphia; and in addi-
tion it supports large private schools attached
TO religious orders. New Orleans spends
more money on public education than Phila-
delphia, chiefly because her teachers are paid
higher salaries. The average pay, inclusive
of principals and high school teachers, is $3.50
per annum. Florida has more than doubled
her school accommodations within tho last five

The Oueer Habits of Ants.

From the Cornhill Magazine.
Most of the members of each community
of honey ants are active and rowing in their
disposition, and show 10 tendency 10 undue
distension Of tho neither eXtremities. They
go out at night and collect nectar or honey
dew from the gall insects on oak trees This
nectar they carry home and give 1t TO the ro-
funds or honey bearers, who swallow il and
store il in their round abdomen until they
can hold no more. They pass their time
chiefly sleeping and clinging upside down TO
the roof Of their residence When the
workers require a meal they go up TO the
nearest honey bearer and stroke her gently
with their antenna. The honey bearer
large drop of the amber liquid. The
workers feed upon the drops thus exuded,
two or three at once often standing around
the living honey jar and tapping nectar to-
gether from the lips of their devoted conf
rade.
The big red ant of Southern Europe makes
regular slave raids upon the nests of the
small brown ants and carries of the young
in their pupa condition. BY and by the
and never having known any other life ex-
cept that of slavery, accommodate themselves
to IL readily enough. The red ant, however,
is still only an occasional slaye-owner; IL ne.
cessary, he can get along by himself, without
the aid Of his little brown servants. Indeed
there are free states and slave states Of red
ants side by side with one another, as OF old
In Maryland and Pennsylvania. In the first
the red ants do their work themselves, like
mere vulgar Ohio farmers; in the second
they get their work done for them by their
industrious little brown servants, like the
aristocratic first families of Virginia before
the earthquake of emancipation.

Underground and Overhead.

There has been good deal of constitu-
tiOnal law and scientific argument ex-
pounded before the legislative committees
this winter upon the subject of under
ground telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires. It is called out by the discus
sion Of abill which proposes to compel all
companies using such wires in cities of
over 10000 population, to bury their wires
between the date of the passage of the bill
and next December LIST, which would likely
be period of six months. The considera-
tion OF this very important subject at Har-
risburg, and the long range view of II by
the public have been somewhat beclouded
by the suspicion, on the one hand, that the
bill In Its original shape-like some other
radical reforms was introduced as a
"pincher," TO make those interested in its
defeat come to terms in one way or an
other; and, on the other hand, that the
corporations which would profit by the de-
feat OF the proposed measure We're ready to
accomplish that end by any means that
would be potential In PENNSYLVANIA
legislatue, and by an appeal to other
considerations than those of the public
welfare. The manner in which the bill
has been manipulated has not been calcu.
lated to dispel these suspicious.
Against the bill are argued its unconsti
nationality, the old complaint of interfer-
ng with vested rights and taking pri.
vate property without conversation, It's
impracticability, in that 1t would be a
physical impossibility to lay the wires
under ground within the prescribed time,
the inability to transmit messages
under ground ard, finally, such enor-
Aous cost of the change that only the
most powerful companies and monopoles
could effect ii and the business public
would IN the end suffer from it. On the
other hand the dangerous nuisance of the
overhead wires has became 30 manifest that
some remedy for IL is imperatively de-
manded by the highest considerations of
public safety; the rapidly increasing num-
Der and offensiveness of them will make it
much costlier hereafter than now to change
them; the telegraph wires have been
erected IN derogation of private and public
rights, at the risk of those who put them
up for Their own profit and, as rule, this
class OF coipoationss have taken private
property and given no compensation for 1t,
with boldness and rapacity that have
characterized the operations of no other
kind Of companies.
Between these cqTiderations it does not
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1885-03-27

seem that Il should b vsrydlnlcult Tor the
Iogislatnre 10 make clear enactment, that
would DO Justice 70 the public and not do
injustice to the corporations that now over
ride IL. There seems to be sense in the
suggestions made yesterday to the Senate
committee by District Attorney Graham,
which are likely to be the basis of the bill
recommended in the Senate. These are
that the councils of cities shall have the
right to regulate the companies using
wires, and in the exercise of proper police
power shall compel them gradually TO
put them under ground, beginning with
the streets In which they are -thickest and
gradually extending the system, as it il
perfected, to every part Of the city, This
win give the companies time it will Offer
inducements for the improvement Of the
underground system, and IL will give thu
citizens the protection they need.
Something definite must be done before
the abuse complained of attains greate
dimensions and becomes so fixed as :,
make its dislodgment impossible.

LANCASTER. MARCH s7, 1885.
The Likelihood OF War.

Preparations for O war with Russia are
rapidly pressed, in England, and the i'm
preston they make is that the war is very
likely to occur; yet, the demonstration of
the fact that England is determined to
Eight, rather than to permit the further ad-
vance of Russia toward India, ought TO
have a strong tendency TO prevent the
threatened war. 1t is hardly to be con-
ceived that Russia twill enter into war
with England to advance her territorial
limits in the East. Why she should want
to extend them is not very clear.
She is already an overgrown empire
and has been unable thus far TO
properly care for the territory she possesses.
And sic is not in good condition for war
with apowerful enemy, even though she
had jrster cause she is weak because of
internal teubles. With unanimous peo-
pie and flH treasury she might measure
arms with England for her aggrandize-
ment but without money and without a
united people her cause would be hopeless,
and We have every reason to believe that
nthe prudence of her rulers will cause her
Bfetreat as gTacefufiy IS possible before
England's plain declaration that she viii
fight If she does not.
1t does not therefore seem TO us that war
is very probable notwithstanding the war
like talk of the cable. 1t is undeniable,
however, that the people of this country,
generally, would like TO see the war take
place, not from any malevolent feeling
toward either party, but because they ex.
xiEect 70 reap profit from it in increase OF
business and a4ices of commodities. The
Russian grain fields will be closed to Europe
and English commerce will be disturbed
American manufactures will he in demand
and the war will cause waste which will re
quirc to be supplied. Business will become
brisker in anticipation of demand which
may:not come and which islikely to be exag
gerated in anticipation of it. Speculator
win discount the future and create de
mand ahead of its natural coming. Thi
is deduction from experience, and il
likely to be verified again. Whether wa
between Russia and England shoul'
naturally increase prices and create de
mand for our products of field and factor
may not be clear but that the genera
belief In such an increase of demand vii
stimulate production and increase prices,
hardly to be questioned. So that if tn
war takes place, which is very doubtful,

to come to our industries for time; an
