Clothes-Wringers Will Burs,..

"Why, yes, of course, clothes-wring-
ers will burst" said a Barclay street
hardware dealer, in reply to reporters s
inquiry. 1.-The pressure on them when
they are blocked with wet clothes in a
laundry or shirt factory is often enor-
nous; but unless the boiler attached to
them bursts too l don't see how mucn
damage can be done. Even the hand
machine sometimes bursts when the op-
orator tries to hasten the completion Of
her own work by making the wringer
do more than its share, but except the
probability of her being discharged by
her mistress, if she has one, or having
to buy new wringer if she owned the
broken machine, don't think she runs
any risk of being hurt.
Il can't imagine how the world would
get on now without wringing- machines.
OF course it did so once, and our clothes
were just as clean as they are to-day,
and lasted longer; but the time has long
gone by when servant girl would

with her own strong hands, and never
complain. Ask her to do half the work

just Got 1t Through His Head.

The army officers who were instru-
mental in removing Captain Couch's 8
"boomers" from Indian Territory say
out, except one old man and his family.
They had big covered wagon, in which
they lived, and pair of melancholy
mules. The day after the squatters
were driven out detachment of troops
was sent back into the territory a ways
and came upon the old man, who was
headed south. He was ordered out
once more and followed by the troops
clear to the boundary. Two days later
they found him on the government land
again and made him turn back. After
this they watched him. In one weeks
time they put him out eight times, and
on the last occasion they warned him
that they didn't propose to fool with
him all summer. He laughed incred-
ulously and camped just north of the
line.
The other day while the squad was
out on a scouting expedition they came
upon the old man making his way south
once more. This time he was walking
by the side of his mules and his wife
was driving. The Lieutenant, a big,
strapping fellow, got mad when he saw
the outfit again, and, dismounting, he
grabbed the old man by the collar and
booted him all over quarter section Of
the Promised Land. As the old woman
with the mules and the troops kept up
with the procession they had quite pa

The Salt Lake Tribune is authority for
the statement that at the coming Mormon
convention John Taylor, president of the
church, will issue a proclamation COM
manding the Mormons to give up polygamy
and obey the law. The Tribune suggests
that if this should be done general am
nesty should be granted by the govern
ment only on certain conditions. One Of
these is tnat those leaders under indict.
ment for violation of the Edmunds law
plead guilty and have sentence suspended
during such time a. the pledge to cease
the practice of polygamy be carried out.
If President Cleveland will follow up the
Polygamists as faithfully as Arthur did

The Wheat OutInnk.

A gentleman prominent in railroad cir
Giles, in speaking of the MinnesCtI granger
legislation, said yesterday:
1t may be a little early to indulge in any
speculations as to the wheat crop for 1885, but
from present appearances, judging by the
amount grown last year, from the surplus n
the market and from the best attainable in
formation, the acreage sown and to be sown
in the northwest, indicate a CON paratively
light crop for 1885. The price pliI for
wheat last season was low aud caused the
farmers to do considerable complaining.
The dissatisfaction is perfectly natural and
excite an appeal to grangerism against the
railroads as q remedy for the evil. The
market OF COURSE is controlled by the de-
mand and supply, but the farmers in discuss
ing the situation are one-sded and directed
against the railroads as though they were a
public enemy. They reason that the rail-
roads are boated corporations capable Of
making good the loss sustained from low
prices for grain, forgetting that the compa-
MES have obligations to sustain which if
they fail to meet result in depreciation of the
services now rendered.
The earnings of the railroads in Minnesota
in 1884 were $50. S64, 3Ol, and there were
paid out for operating expenses and addl-
tional expense bills aggregatng Sl04, 1863, S41,
S24 ,005, $40 more than were earned. AL
though there is large crop in the country,
the bulk of which will be moved in the COM
ing six months, the indications are that rail-
way earnings will be lighter next year than
the year ended.

F.ISr NAIL SERVICE.

THERE Is Just foundAt for the com
plants made by the business men of st

and a hal; hours delay at Chicago of the fast
mail train, making the fast mail service Of
no practical value to them, as letters are
brought to these cities too late in the even
ing to be attended to until next day. The
house appropriation committee inserted a
provision in the postoflice appropriation bill
prohibiting any delays of this character,
whereupon Messrs. TowSsHESD aud CANNON
set themselves to work to defeat this clause
in the house, and as was stated In the
GLOBES special Washington correspondence
on Yesterday, the managers Of Chicago
papers have set their Hobbies 10 work In the
same direction.

solves itself into this shape, shall the mail
service be run in the interest Of people 10 be
accommodated by II, or shall it be run in
The exclusive interest of the Chi
cagO newspapers. The way it
is now manipulated is a gross outrage upon
the people of the entire northwest, and most
especially of s.; Paul and Minneapolis, aud
the northwestern representatives in Congress
should see that right is done.

East Passenger Rates.

Special Telegram.
CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Passenger rates to the
east were unchanged to-day, remaining at
twelve dollars frst-class and nine dollars Sec
ondclass from Chicago to New York by all
lines. A thorough canvass failed to dis
close that the brokers we're cutting to any
extent below these figures, although there is
no doubt that when necessary they divide
with the passengers, and commissions are
paid them by two or three of the trunk lines.
The general feeling is that something of a
sensational policy will be inaugurated to-
morrow by some of the roads, but
there is nothing tangible upon
which to base such conclusion.
The temper of the situation is such, however,
that serious outbreak is liable to occur at
any time, but there is no evidence that any
particular day has been selected for the start
ling nouncement. The officials Of all lines
express their purpose TO meet the lowest rate
found in the smarket. If this policy is
adhered to it will not he long before rates
will again drop, because as long as commits
sions are paid tn scalpers it is reasonably
sure that they will underbid the rates quoted
at the regular offices.
