The day is not far distant when an
 all-rail line will connect New York
 City with Buenos Ayres, the capital of
 Argentine Republic, in South Ameri- ca. The plan is certainly feasible.
 An international railroad extending from the United States through Mexi- co, Central America, and draining South America from one extreme to the other. must of necessity cement international trade on the American continent Much more has been &C., complished toward a realization of this railroad project than is commonly credited. Within the past three years the South American States have ae- tually built and surveyed routes at least one-thIrd of the distance, about 1000 miles, between Buenos Ayres and Bogota, the capital of Columbia, not 800 miles from De Lesseps' canal in Panama. Railroad connections are already established between our coun- try and the City of Mexico And the task of binding the Spanish Republics of the south to tue Mexican capital, though of a stupendous character, is certainly within ths possibilities of engineering triumphs. The csmpls- tion of De LsSseps' great canal at Pan anna will be a great stimulus to the project. Undoubtedly the gap of 1000 miles between the City of Mexico and the Panama Canal will be closed by railroad connection as soon as the commercial importance of the inter oceanic canal is established. There would be, in that event, about 2500
 miles ts be built between the Panama Canal and the termini of the railroads leading porthward from Buenos Ay- res. The difficulties in the way of a South American Railroad arc TO greater than the obstacles which at tended the building of the Union Pa cifc twenty years age.

Dentists chairs were ordinary chairs at first, but now their construction ln-
 yelve scores of patents. In like man.
 ner medical electric chars, whereby electric currents are conveyed to pa- tlents, are protected by scores of pat snts. l myself though know some- thing about electricity, would not un- dertake to kill man by this new
 method, unless l had prepared myself thoroughly for the work. l would be afraid of killing myself accidentally. The current, you see, must be passed through the criminals body with ab- soute certainty, and care must be taken that his head and feet are moist eued and that the metallic terminals are properly arranged The chair, too, might be provided with clasps, which prevent him from moving his hands or feet. As for the. electric force, it could be supplied from the electric lighting station CT, in case of necessity, an induction coil and bat tsry or dynamo could be used.
 "A death-dealing device winch can be successfully operated by scientists, is of course desirable, but what is ab- solutely necessary is an appliance which can be easily and effectively manipulated by one who has no knowledge of electricity, as would be the case with the average exocutioner in the country towns. How many machines work beautifully when their inventors handle them and refuse to work at all when others handle tbemi Consequently l say that the success of any such death.dealing instrument depends upon the simplicity of its con struction and the ease with which 1t can be operated. The State cannot afford to run any risks in the matter, and it ought certainly to study the question thoroughly before it under takes to put single criminal to death ln thls manner. Harmless experI- ments should be made until success is assured"

Death by Electricity.
New York Herald ]


 The unmixed joy with winch philan- throplsts and other more or less ra- tienal persons have hailed the law or daining that in future condemned criminals shall be killed by electricity instead of by hanging, seems to many electricians to be somewhat senseless, if not, indeed, very idiotie.
 Champions of the new law claim that by it the sufferings of the doomed men are minimized. Electricians con- cede that the law may have this effect, but they refuse to admit that It must necessarily have this effect. Scient. lsts as they are, they refuse to give play to their imagination and insist that no authoritative verdict can be passed until the law has been fairly tried. Excellent as 1t is in theory, it may, in their opinion, prove less Satis- factory when it is put n practice.
 Among those who have given good deal of time to the study eff this sub jset is Mr. F, P. Thompson: promi- nent electrician at No. ! Beckman street, and a Herald reporter learned several facts from him yesterday which will be of interest not only to the general pubic, but also to those who have condemned criminals in their charge, and whose duty it is to sse that they be removed from amcng the living in as painless and oxpsdi- tious a manner as possible.
 "We must have perfect execution CTS and a perfect devlce for execution by electricity" said Mr. Thompson, otherwise serious accidents may oc- cur at any moment. After first sight it may appear that such devices are unnecessary and would only prove profitable to their inventor, but thIs is an illusion, as will Do admitted by all who know how difficult it has always been to invent suitable devices for making an electric contact between two points Contact between metal. lie conductors is rendered very diff cult by reason of rust, dust, oil and other insulating substances, and in addition to these, dryness of the skin renders contact with the human body difficult. That such dryness of tho skin or some equivalent difficulty does exist is proved by the fact that some persons who have touched wires have escaped uninjured, while others who have touched the same wires under seemingly similar circumstances, have been killed instantsneously. Again, 1t ls well known that persplring and nervous person, when in contact with medical electrical appliance, experi- ences more peculiar feeling than does person of peaceable tempera- ment, who takes hold of the same han dies of the medical device, thereby generating the same current. Hence 1t is clear that the success of any de- vice for execution by electricity de pends upon ths ~~t~ f the contact between the h and the ter- 1 nlnals v

Very few people have any idea of the vast areas of government land held by alien land-hoders in the Uni ted States. The largest tract, four million five hundred thousand acres, is held by the Holland Company, of New Mexieo. An English syndicate holds three million acres in Texas; Sir Edward Reid and syndicate in Flori- da own two million acres; one million eight hundred thousand acres belong to an English syndicate in Mississippi; one million seven hundred and fifty thousand to the Marquis of Tweed dale; one million three hundred thou sand to the Pbillips-Marshall Compa- ny, of London; and one million six hundred thousand acres to a German syndicate These eomprse the larger land.holders There are, however, a score CT more of persons and syndi- cates owning less than seven hundred and fifty thousand acres, The grand total foots up to twenty million seven hundred and forty-seven thousand acres of government land held by aliens in the United States.-Argo- naut.

 Two magazines for June, the Ando
 yer Review, of Boston, and the West
 minister Review, of London, contain papers on the distribution of our i'm. migrants, which present facts thai have much of political interest at thi. time. In the first place, it must be borne in mind that one-half of the white population of the United States are of foreign birth or parentage-im- migrants themselves or the children of immigrants. Of tbe foreign born, two thirds of the Germans are west of line running north and south through Pittsburgh, and two-thirds of the Irish are east of that line. Few foreigners ara found in any part of the South. Ten States, all in the North or Northwest, contain feur- iifths of the whole German population, and less than ? per cent of their whole number inhabit New England. The Irish have almost reversed the situation, they having settled chlefy in the Northeastern States, and espec- lally in Naw England and the Middle States. In other words, the Germans are strongest in the Northern agrleul- tural States and the Irish in tho Northern manufacturing States and towns. Roughly speaking, you must go to Chicago CT Cincinnati to find the center of the German population, while the capital of the Irish IS Bos- ton. In Chicago the Germans are l4.9 per cent and the Irish 8.S per cent, but in New York the Irish are l6.5 per cent to 13.5 German. Of the whole number af persons engaged in agriculture in 1880 only about one in ten was foreign born. while nearly one.third of those employed in manu- factures, mechanical and mining in- dustries were of foreign birth. If we should add to the foreigners the na- tiYes of foreign parentage, the num- perrin manufacturing industries would be vastly increased. As the Andover wrter says, the tendency of our immi- grants, and he might have added of their children also, is "to assimilate with our mechanical industries. ' Among the six States having the lar gest percentage of the Irish born to the total population of each are New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and the four towns which are first in that respect are the manufacturing towns of Lawrence, Troy, Lowell and Boston, while in New York the per centage IS little less. If we include also the natives of Irish percentage, we get Tn New York one.third instead of one-sixth of the population, and the result would probably be the same proportionately in the other places. Of the Germans here, foreign born and of foreign percentage, or more than ons-fourth of the whole popula- tion, the chef part are also engaged in manufactures.

The yice-Presidency is, according to most politicians, the most incense quential office in our Government
 Yet four men elected Vice-President have been made Presidents through the death of the Executive with whom they were chosen. Daniel Webster, though always desiring the Preslden- cy, twice missed it through his unwil- lihgness to take the lower office. Thur low Weed urged Webster to take the nomination under Harrlsen, and again when Taylor was nominated, but he refused, considering it beneath his dignity. Then, in each case, as when the Vice President was promoted by the death of the superior officer, Webster went into the Cabinet as Sec retary of State, feeling, probably, that but for his pride he might have been himself selecting the Cabinet, instead of beng part of it.

A Peculiar War.


 There have been many different kinds of war among men. but the Al buquerque beer war, or yesterday rather takes the lead. One saloon dropped the beverage from twel7e- and-a half cents per glass to five cents. At this another took umbrago and put the frothy nectar at one cent per schooner. A third, not to be outione, moved his bar onto the sidewalk and gave overfowing goblets to all passers by, without money and without price. This put the first upon bis mettle and, getting a four-in-hand, he droYe through the streets, offering gratuit- ous beer to any and all who would ac- cept It. The result was that sober men in Albuquerque last night are said to have been the exception and not the rule. Of course nobody re- ceivsd any benefit from the strife, not even the free drlnkers.-Las Vegas Optic.
