The City Council should not Withhold the
usual appropriation for the employment OF a
matron at the police station. Experience
has shown that the employment of suck a
person is in the interested decency and pro-
priety. The expense is trivial, while the
benefit is great. The order making the
necessary appropriation should be taken
from the table at the next meeting and
promptly passed.

The striking engineers have had very
opportnne attack of good sense They have
declared the boycott on Chicago. Burlington
&Quincy freight Off and connecting railroads
win now freely transport. The continuance
of the boycott would inevitably have COM
PEELED the United States government to In
terfere, for under the Interstate commerce
act all the roads connecting with the Chiea-
CO. Burlington d. Quincy are under obliga-
ton to transport its freight when offered
them. A refusal would have brought from
the court an injunction, and had the en-
ployes undertaken to have prevented the
roads from obeying it they would soon have
found themselves in the grip Of Uncle Sam.
Besides such boycott as was threatened,
had it been carried out, would have placed
the Locomotive Brotherhood in such bad
odor with the public that 1t would soon per-
ish from the face of the earth.

The Pennsylvania high license law has
produced one wholesome effect inc Phlladel-
phia at least. 1t has greatly restricted the
number of the saloons and closed up the
most notorious and disreputable among
them. Out of 1875 applications for license
only 55l were granted. The Press of that
city says, ''unsavory SAMSON street is purged
of its dives and low resorts, Nearly as nnsav-
DRY Eighth street, below Chestnut, will minis
ter to the thirsty with two saloons instead
of nine. The dance houses af Race street
and Ninth street, and the disreputable places
OF the great central wards will find them
selves with but two months more Of business
before them" measure that allows the sa-
loon to legally exist, no matter in how small
numbers, is not the ideal measure, but it is
far better than the old system, which per-
mitted a rumshop on every corner. Nor Is
such measure, as some of the Prohibition
lists profess TO think, inimlcal to prohibition.
The benefits that will accrue from reducing
the number of rumshops one half win inev-
itaby suggest that still greater benefits
would accrue from reducing them three
fourths and seven-eighths and so on to total
extinction.

OF Mondays municipal elections in the
West, the one of greatest Importance was at
Columbus, Ohio, which has resulted in the
defeat of the Democratic gang which has
made the control of the courts of Columbus
its object in order to protect the notorious
tally sheet forgers of Cincinnati and Column
bus. This issue was plainly put and the
people were thoroughly aroused, SO much
aroused that the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party of Columbus does not seem to
have supported its ticket heartily. Pugh, and
Martin, the judges elected, were prominent at
the recent trial of the forgers. Pugh is a
Republican, and Martin is Thurman Demo-
crat who did all he could to help the Old
Roman carry ON the prosecution.

A very important feature OF the Rhode
Island election yesterday was the vote upon
the constitutional amendment which would
strike out of the constitution those provis-
ions which require foreign born citizen to
own one hundred and thlrty-four dollars
worth OF real estate as a prerequisite for
voting and certain class of native voters
to pay dollar registry tax. The amend
ment has been approved bytwo Legislatures,
and came before the people yesterday for final
action. For the passage of such an amend.
ment in Rhode Island a three-ifths vote is re-
quired. The abolition Of the registry tax has
met the approval of both parties SO fully as
to receive favorable notice in both Republic
can and Democratic platforms. Against the
free admission Of foreign born citizens to the
privileges Of suffrage there has been appar-
emily greater diversity OF sentiment though
party lines have not been drawn. A Repub-
lican introduced the amendment into the
Legislature, and the Democrats have been
among its most ardent supporters.

press our respectful sympathy to the Ger

renowned ruler,
Mr.. McCreary asked for immediate con-
sideration Of the resolution. Mr. Smith OF

withdraw his objection. The. resolution

about sixteen years OF age sprang
from a buggy in which she was seated,
and Selling the runaway horses by the

disappeared SO quickly after her brave
deed that her name could not be

The theory is held by Prof. Mendel.
eef, of Russia, that petroleum is pro-
duced by water which penetrates the
earth's crust and comes in contact
with the glowing carbides of metal,
especially OF iron. The water is de-
composed into its constituent gases,
the oxygen uniting with the iron,
while the hydrogen takes up the car
bon and ascends to a higher region,
where part of it is condensed into
mineral oil, and part remains as
natural gas, to escape wherever, and
whenever it can find an outlet. Ii
this assumption is correct, and a
sufficient store of metallic carbides is
cont ainel in the earth's interior,
petroleum may continue to reformed
almost indefinitely and continue to
yield supply OF fuel long after the
supplyof coal has become exhausted
Prof. Mendeleef supports his views by
producing artificial petroleum in a
manner similar to that by which he
believes the natural product is made
