THE effort at reform in primary cleo
tions In Colorado has received a black
eye. 1t will be remembered that the
legislature q year ago passed q primary
election law which should be binding
upon any political party agreeing to hold
its primary election In accordance with
Its provisions. The law provided for Ger.
tain penalties for any violation of it. Last
fall the republicans of Denver held their
primary election under this law. Sew.
enteen men were afterwards indicted for
bribery at this election. and 1t was sup.
pesed that they would be convicted and
punished, but the indictments have been
quashed, on the ground that the primary
election law Is unconstitutional. Other
courts In eastern states, however, have
decided differently, holding that such a
law is constitutional.

CABLE RATES.

The New York Herald, which has
always maintained tho lead In foreign
news, has recently increased its facilities
In that direction, owing to the fact that
the new Bennett Mackey cable, In
which the proprietor of the Herald is
one of the chief owners, affords reason,
able rates, and has compelled a reduction
on the other lines. Although the Herald
proprietor Is Interested in the new
cable, other papers are on an equal foot.
ing with that Journal, no advantage
being taken by MI. Bennett, who has
certainly rendered q great service to both
America and Europe for the part he has
taken in the construction of new cable
lines and the breaking down of monopoly

connection the following table, showing
the gradual reduction of cable rates

THREE of the judges of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia will
be eligible for retirement during the
next two months. This fact has brought
to the front several applicants for
the positions, in case the present
incumbents retire. These candidates
are recommended on account of faith
full political work, and not because OF
their great learning in the law service.
The president has not, as yet, received an
intimation that any of the judges propose
to avail themselves of the right to go on
the retired list, and consequently has not
looked at, much less entertained, any OF
the applications.

THE organization of the pneumatic
postal service throughout Paris, which
has lately been completed, has cost more
than a million francs, and the length OF
the pipes is over 81 miles. This elabor-
ate work was begun by M. de Couchy,
who was director of French telegraphs
under the empire II years ago. The
charge for transmitting a letter to any
place within the fortitication has been
fixed at six sous. The service covers ex-
treme points about seven miles apart.
Under the most unfavorable circumstan-
oes, a letter will be delivered to the re-
hottest place, Including Its conveyance
from the nearest station, within one
hour. The saving of time and labor by
the pneumatic postal service is expected
to result in Its adoption in other Euro
pean capitals, and 1t will, of course, find
its way into the large American cities.

'"
How few persons know when the rail-
roads around us began, although before
the day of railroads there must have been
very serious differences in the institution
of society. The Pennsylvania railroad l
can remember when it reached only from
Philadelphia to Susquehanna, and at the
further end, Thomas A. Scott, the subse-
quent president, was a collector of tolls.
l went over it when a boy of six years
with my father, and we were let down an
inclined plane of about $500 feet long to
get to the Schuylkill river, and when we
left Columbia, at the other end, we were
pulled up an inclined plane by n wire ca
bic, something like1 900 feet. One train
had to. pass up while the other was
going down, like the weights in
the elevators we now see in buildings.
The English iron used for the cid Portage
road over the Allcghenies, which was
thirty miles long, cost S4S. 30 per
ton and it has been just about fifty years
since that road was opened. The Penn
sylvania railroad is Il younger corporation
than the Reading railroad and the Read.
ing was originally the boss of Pennsylva-
mia. The New Jersey Central, which
Commodore Vanderbilt thought would be
the great lion of the west, and therefore
invested in it before going elsewhere, was
built out to Somerville from Elizabeth
port in 1912 with strap rail, and in 1886
it had to be sold out. 1T was opened to
Easton in 1882, but not eastward to Jersey
City till the beginning of the civil war.
By 1S5Sthe Pennsylvania railroad was ex,
tended to Allentown, and for sometime
the Pennsylvania passengers went over
the Central road, or until the New Jersey
lines We're acduired.

THE YEAR 1ss4 I'M oMAHA.

AAAAA AAAhAN ACof AN OAAAAAAs
THE BEES illustrated edition of to-day
makes a very acceptable gift to the city
Of Omaha, and her citizens will no doubt
appreciate 1t. This review with Its Illus.
t%ratIons will equal anything Of the kind
ever published in any city Of the United
States. The magnificent exhibit that Is
made by the city Of Omaha in every
branch Of commerce, industry, and pub.
lie improvementsm mus certainly be graft
flying to her citizens, and cannot fail to
materially aid the city in growth and i'm
provement, and to induce the In.
vestment Of outsioe capital. During
the year which has been fraught
with disaster aud ruin to many common
clal enterprises, and while the manu-.
featuring industries in other states have
been paraly zsd, Omaha has gone steadily
on. Not a single bank failure has oc.
cured, nor has any prominent business
house closed its doors or become embar-
raised. Our merchants have held their
own, notwithstanding the heavy strain
caused by the low prices of the
products of this section. Our factories
are all running, and quite a number Of
important manufacturing enterprises
have been begun during the year and are
now in a fourishing condition, while in
the east factories of all kinds
have been seriously affected, and
have been compelled to either shut down
entirely or run on reduced time and re-
duced wages. 1t Is true that there are
some Idle people In Omaha at the presen:
time, but they are comparatively few In
number, and are included among those
who always lay off during the winter, nc
matter whether the times are flush OF
poor. There was q time when the threat
of a removal of the Union Pacific shops
would throw the people of this city Into
~psroxysms of fear, but that stereotyped
bug.bear can no longer brighten our citi-
zens. Omaha has reached that
point when the removal OF
failure of any n industrial
establishment cannot seriously cripple
her. The force at the railroad shops has
been gradually cut down more than one
half, but Omaha continues to grow. The
shops are still here, and when necessity
requires the force of course will be in
creased.
Tho facts and figures presented in our
review speak for themselves, and they
are we'll worth the study of ANY one who
Is at all interested in Omaha. That thi,
review will prove the best advertisement
Omaha has ever had there can be nc
doubt. While 1t will surprise many Of
of cltizsnr, it will advertise the city
abroad and draw the attention of every
one Into whose hands 1t may fall. Omahs
willSindeed appear to many strangers 6
wonderful city-wonderful because she
has had such remarkable growth and
prosperity during a period of general de-
preston, and when nearly every Other
city in the land is at o standstill. That
she will continue to grow and prospe,
during the year 1885 we have every rea
son to believe.

The Chicago News rushes to the de-
Tense of Church Howe. 1t says: Gre
publican newspapers are relating with
melancholy zest how the Hon. Church
Howe, of Nebraska, went down to Ten
nessee for the national republican COM
mittee last fall and spent $25, 900 without
accomplishing any good. 1t strikes us
that this is looking at the affair in a
wrong light. Is the Hon. Church Howe's
experience to be counted as nothing2 AS
we are informed, MI. Howe came back
home, after expanding his $25, 900, fully
satisfied that there was no business in the
