A steel Substitute for Wood Sleepers


The Barrow Hematite Steel
Company, says the Ironmonger,
are experimenting with the view
of manufacturing steel railway
sleopors as a substitute for, and at
tho same cost as wood sleepers. A
similar experiment has been tried
at the works OF the London and
Northwestern railway at Crewe,
but has not succeeded; lnasmuch
as, by the use of rail ends and
other scraps, the cost of the steel
sleepers has always been few
shillings moro than those made ol
timber. The Barrow company
have received an order from the
Northeastern railway company fol
a number of steel sleepers, and BY
the judicious application Of thu
best machinery it is believed tina
the attempt to make steel sleeper
at the same cost as wood will b,
successful.

Jeha L. Sa!livza B-utallI Beats : Waiter
Girl.


Boston, Dec. 3l.-Between 3 aud
6 O'Clock Sunday evening. John L.
Sullivan entered Yeater's saloon,
at No. sos, Washington street, and
called for supper. Rose Booth,
waitress, asked him what he want
ed, aud he made an insulting an
swer, to which she replied with
spirit. Sullivan arose in a tower.
ing temper and struck her on tho
face with wet driving glove. He
then hit her heavy blow with his
clenehed fist, cutting an ugly cash
over her right eye, from which the
blood spurted out. The girl fell
heavily upon the floor. Not salts
fed with the Knockout, he com.
menced kicking her, and caused
her very serious injury, from which
she is reported to be still suffering
acute pain. There was no one in
the saloon who was able to under
take the task of putting him ont,
and he sat down and coolly ate bis
supper. His team had been stand.
ing at the door all the while, and
when he finished eating the chan.
pion went outside and began kick.
ing the horses. When this ceased
to amuse him he got into his vehi.
cle aud drove leisurely away.
When Miss Booth revived she was
taken to her home at 220 Harrison
avenue, and attended by Physician
Roeth. Sullivan called upon her
yesterday and offered to pay all
her doctors bills aud to make ev.
cry pecuniary repatriation in his
power, and the helpless girl, who
| is stranger in the city, was doubt
, ful, when interviewed, as to thu
propriety of prosecuting the COW
ardly wretch. Mr.. Yoaton, whC
keeps the saloon, is non.commit
! tai, but says that he is prepared tS
. tell the truth at all hazards whel
the time comes. Sullivan has no
called on her to-day, and it is sale
that he has left for New York, fear
ing the consequence of his bruta
act.

that Mr.. Cleveland will not "play

will be no great rush for Office
from this section, so far as we
know, but there are offices to be

why Southern Democrats will not

The appointment of Il. S. Wilson
as the private secretary of Senator
Lamar, has no political significance
whatever. The Senator needed n
secretary. He rendered the ap.
pointment to Mr.. Wilson, who &C.
cepted it, and is endeavoring to
discharge the duties of the posi-
ton in a satisfactory manner. The
fact that a reporter Of the Globe.
Democrat turned his imagination
loose and hunted up 'mare's
nest' in this appointment. is some.
thing which neither Senator La.
mar nor Mr.. Wilson had anything
to do with, or control over. Nei.
ther of them knew anything of it
until they saw it in a Mississippi
paper. The Globe.Democrat
would doubtless like to see such
o state of affairs exist in every
Democratic State, as its sensa
tional reporter pictures in Missis-
sipi, as it is q Republican paper Of
the deepest dye.-New Missis

Law, Gov. Click said that IL was great
failure. The liquor traffic, said he,
''has become n go-as-you-please affair.
One town which bad forty saloons yield
ing an annual revenue of $40 600 under
high license, now has 100 places where
liquor is sold. In another town where
the law is apparently enforced the ex-
press agent told me coo cases Of beer
were delivered a week, and in one day
100 five-gallon kegs of whiskey were
delivered. Twas inclined not To believe
it until talked with the man who had
taken II around. This private drinking
is one Of the sad effects of prohibition.
In certain cities places are licensed to
sell lemonade, soda water and other
drinks The records of these cities
show leSs number of persons convicted
in the police courts for drunkenness
than in towns where there is not this
liar fact is shown by these records.
The towns which have the noisiest pro-
hibitiOnists. which have become noted
for il, have the most convictions for
drunkenness" Coy. Click mentioned
a number of instances II this under a
promise not 10 reveal names. III one
town where a prohibitionist, who has
achieved some reputation as lecturer
on this subject, resided, the receipts of
liquor by railroad had increased four
fold IN three years. 1.-The prohibition
lists are well-meaning and honest peO-
pie, he continued, but they make the
great mistake of believing that ostensi-
bly, closed saloons necessarily mean
temperance. They have the saloon and
intemperance so combined that the two
cannot be separated, and yet our expe-
rience in Kansas shows that liquor in
the home is vastly more dangerous TO
temperance than the open saloons.
Where the saloons are closed there is an
increased consumption of liquor. And
where they are not closed they are vast
ly more numerous than under license,
and do not pay cent of revenue. A
high license system will eradicate in
temperance more rapidly than any other
means. OF this am convinced beyond
doubt by the history of Kansas fol
the last three years"

Troy Chief: The subject OF monopo-
ly and eXorbitant prices of school books
Is being agitated all over Kansas. and
the legislature will doubtless be called
upon To do something in the matter. To
say nothing of the frequent changes Of
text books. and the use of entirely diff
fercnt books in the districts of coun-
~, the price OF the books is outrageous =.
and amounts To- a steal. Let VA make
an illustration. Here is book that
costs Sl.25. The issues of the Chief for
n year would make ten such books.
What you get in the Chief for -, costs
you In books Sl2.5O. \ book that costs
6Ocents, has one-sixteenth as much,ead-
ing as the Chief. and in that shape,
what costs - in the Chief. would cost
about $40 in books. Books are usually
printed on a cheap quality Of paper and
they are stereotpyed, costing but one
type setting. while a newspaper must
he reset each week. or school books,
millions are printed from the same
plates, while OF newspaper only q few
thousand are printed. School hooks
that are now sold for 90 cents could be
sold for u cents, and those sold for ST.
25 could be sold for - cents, and so on
in proportion and big profit then
made. 1T present prices IL is almost
impossible for man with a large family
TO keep his children supplied with
books-and such men are usually poor.

PROHIBITION DOES NOT IVORY

The Chicago Tribune contains the
following: Ex-Governor G.. w. Click.
who defeated st. John two years ago
and gave Kansas her first democratic
governor, arrived at The Sherman house
yesterday, his term having expired on
the 18th inst. When asked about the
Kansas variety of prohibition, Gov.
Click was at first disinclined to tall,
saying he did not like to talk about his
own stat.
"But If you want the facts" ne fin
ally remarked, there is no better place
to 60 than the figures Of the United
States licenses for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. In the last year of high
license In Kansas l,lS2 government Ii
censes were issued. During the first
year Of prohibition the number was
about 500, the next year ZOO, and the
third on last year 1900. The majority
Of the people are opposed Ia prohibition
but the prOhibitionists have control OF
the legislature and will prevent resub-
mission Of the question. The way IL
came about was this: Both wings Of the
republican party agreed to ignore the
question during the presidential year
and trust TO the future"
Then the battle must be fought over
againY"
Yes, and I believe il win result in
the defeat Of the party. The anti pro
hibitionists say that IL prohibition is in
dorsed In the platform of 1886, they will
bolt the ticket. They form a very large
and respectable element, which has be-
come utterly Disguised with the failure
Of prohibition, and believe its defeat
paramount TO party interests On the
other hand, II prohibition BE- ignored.
the st. John men win run ticket them
selves. TWAS understood by the former
that Governor Martin would recommend
n constitutional convention, but this he
did not do, and instead he advocates
some amendments which, 1 believe.
would turn all the drug stores OF the
state into saloons"
"Ilow are prosecutions at PRESENT.
There are two or three judges and as
many county attorneys who are unwil-
hing 10 prosecute whisky cases on the
same rule as other cases. Under the
law the county attorney can pack every
jury 10 bring in verdict against the
defendant on any evidence. The judges
also incline 10 high-handed proceedings
IN these cases. An ex-senator, who Is
distinguished as an early prohlbitionist
told me the otheC day: No man can
get affair trial in whiskey case in
Kansas This, Of course, is not wholly
true, but injustice in these cases arouses
stronc public sentiment-as every in
justice dOes- AGAINST prohibition"
! Speaking Of the enforcement Of the
