was higher in Great Britain than in any
of those countries save France. The
claim in England is that with the lower
price of coal the substitution OF steel for
iron rails. &c, there was room for sub
stantial reduction in the average rate
charged for freight in England, and es~
pecially when the enormous development
of traffic in that country of late years was
considered. Lobbying is evidently not
confined TO this country. In England,
within the last eleven years, thirteen of
the principal lines spent 50, $50, 000 that
is to say, Eli $50, 600 an average of a
million dollars year. There must be a
leakage somewhere, and the British pub
lie is forced to supply the leak. Thirtte en-
corporations do not throw away million
year for nothing. Does none of this
enormous sum find its way into the peck
cts of honest British legislators If not
whittier does IN vanish?

Another New York Eyplosion.

NEW YORK, Feb 5-An explosion in
Delaney Street square at the foot of De
lancey street, threw the people OF that neigh
borhood into short-lived excitement late
Tuesday evening Waterman Peter VIII
mot, who was in the vicinity, says the re-
port was louder than any cannon he ever
heard
1t was followed by a rattle among the
lumber piles, as though caused by flying
fragments The square is broad paved
space, A huge pile of paving stones is in
the center, ianked on one side by two old
boilers, and on the other by little uuoccu-
pied shanty. Carts and trucks stand all
around, and there are many piles of lumber
along the cutters. The factory buildings
and storc-houses and stables are the only
structures on the block, and the place is de-
serted after nightfall
Policeman Van Ranst and Summers pro
cured a lantern, and made a thorough search
of the square. No trace of any explosives
was found. Some wooden scraps were the
only things that seemed to he in any way
connected with the explosion. They were
scorched and smoking, though there was no
smell Of powder to BIO detected. They re-
semble pieces Of rag carpet in texture, and
it is supposed were wrapped about the ex-
plOsive material

The greatest enthusiasm prevailed and

other rich men were marked for death.

Socialists condemns tho dynamite explosion

by Socialists. The feature of the hanIbill is
the utter contempt in which the Socialists

A MISSOURI exchange gives Q

A Missouri exchange gives o graphic
description of the scene in court at Rich
Hill, Mo, during the Francisco seduction
case. The judge having ordered the
court room cleared, and the crowd having
refused to go, he threatened to send them
to jail as soon as he could learn their
names. The crowd was much cXasperate
ed at what was considered an un>Ameri>
can star chamber proceeding, and one old
gentleman, acting as its spokesman, stood
on a chair and informed the court that
his name was johnson, and that he
"warn't going out" The crowd backed
him with yells of mo closed court house
doors in America" and the Judge was
obliged to leave it in possession of the
court room. Adjourning to his private
Office with the witnesses, he locked the
doors and attempted to go on with the
examination, but the crowd broke open
the windows and forced the doors. The
cOnstables and marshal had made an at
tempt to dispense the rioters and failed il.
The cries of ono closed doors in an
American court house, were renewed,
and the unwelcome audience remained
through the proceedings. Rich Hill thus
has the honor of furnishing the worst case
of contempt of court on record.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5.-The fund to

Nevertheless, it is, of course, perfectly obvi-

The postofIice department has recently

IT seems to be generally admitted that
the Inauguration of President Cleveland,
the first democratic president inaugurated
since 1856, will be a notable event. One
of the features that will lend interest and
significance to it is the participation of a
colored military company, with colored
brigadier-general, from Charleston. The
Charleston NeicS and Mercury remarks
that sit is significant and proper that the
colored people should have waited for the
Inauguration of democratic president
before seeking the recognition of their
right to be present at a ceremony of such
importance

New York Graphac: The latest report
of the secretary of the British Iron Trade
association compares the statistics of Eng
fish and other railways, more especially
with reference to mineral traffic. 1t ap>
pears that between 1872 and 1878 the re-
ceipts per ton carried in the United King
dom showed decline from Is lid. to Is.
Cd, reduction of I'd. per ton At the
same time and within the same interval
the quantity of minerals carried on Brit
ish railways had increased by more than
$4,000 900 tons, about seventy eight per
cent. The reductions on American and
Continental European railroads within
the same period are shown to be far
greater. The average cost of construc-
ton of English railroads, however, ac~
cording to the figures adduced, is largely
in excess of that in other countries. The
increase of cost per mile is also larger in
England than elsewhere. Between 1874
and 1881 the average capital expended on
each new mile opened on English railways
increased by $4,000. This figure is dou.
Bile that of the next greatest increase in

SOME suggestions in the recent inaugu-
raj message of Gov. Oglesby, of illinois,
in regard to elections, are justly receiv-
ing attention. Among these are recon-
dations that judges of election should
themselves be elected Gin such manner as
to render it impossible that all of them
should belong to the same party; that the
number of votes cast at any one place
shorld be limited to 500 or less; and that
the polls should be closed at an earlier
hour than o'clock" These are all good
suggestions, especially for cities. and
should engage the study of legislators in
