A Long STeet-Car Line.

The longest street-car line in che
world is now in process of construc-
ton in the Argentine Republic. 1t, is
so much longer than any other line
that it quite dwarfs the eight and ten
mile roads Of oui; cities. 1t is also the
only streel.ear line in the world which
uses sleeping-cars The road has two
hundred miles of track, connecting Il:
of towns in the vicinity of
Buenos Ayres. Horses are used there
as motive power instead of steam, be-
cause fuel is dear, horses cheap, and
the people are slow. Two tons OF coal
will buy horse and harness. The
equipment for this road has been en-
-tireIy furnished by Philadelphia car
company. The. .sleeping-cars are a
curiosity. They are four in number,
eighteen feet in length, and are fur
nished with four bertl1s each, which
are made to roll up when not in use.
The cars are furnished with lavatories,
water-coolers, linen presses and other
conveniences, and are finished through
out with mahogany. = The other cars
are four. double-decked open ears,
twenty platform cars, twenty gOndola
cars, sixteen refrigerator ears, four
poultry cars, furnished with coOps,
eight cattle cars, two derrick cars for
lifting heavy material and two hun
dred box cars. Chicago Inter- Ocean.

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Synopsis of the Law Under Which They
Must be Conducted.

Synopsis of the Law Under Which They
Must be Conducted.
The eXpensiveness of elections is
constantly increasing in this country,
and no steps have been suggested to
correct the tendency. The English
have wrestled with the problem and
within few years have made an enor-
nous reduction in the cost of elections.
A reform was imperatively demanded,
owing to the open bribery which de-
feated fair expression of opinion. In
1880 the cost of the general election
was $4,000, ,000 Of course no such
amount of money could be used for
legitimate expenses, but only for
bribery. In 1888 Parliament passed
a comprehensive law to prevent eIec-
ton bribery and corruption: 1T has
succeeded. perhaps too.well; that is 10
say, members, of;AP arliament have
been unseated on technical construc-
tions withous haying, in fact. violated
the spirit of the law.
= This act prescribed penalty for
bribery, which term is applied to the.
giving OF lending.or agreeing to give
or.lend money or any thing of value
OF official or, personal influence by the
candidates or his agents. One MEM
Der was unseated: because. some. ting:
after the election, he promised one of
his-voters the loan of an agricultural
implement. 1t is bribery when "any-
person, who, either himself or by
proxy, either before, during or after
the election, directly or indirectly,
gives, provides, or pays for. either
wholly, or in part any meat drink,
entertainment or provision, to or for
persons entitled to vote" A candi-
date or his agent is not allowed to con-
vey or to pay for the conveyance of q
voter to the polls. No payment OF
promises of payment may be made on
account of bands of music, flags, BAN
ners, cockades, ribbons, or any other
marks of distinction, nor. may the
latter be distributed gratis"
The candidate for Parliament must
name one person to act as his agent,
giving public notice of his name and
address. No agent or election clerk
is allowed to vote. All the campaign
and election expenses must be paid
through this agent, who must keep an
account by items for examination,
both the candidate and the agent
swearing to the accuracy of the ac-
count. The amount of money that
may be expended by any candidate is
fixed by law, including the payment
for ballot-boxes and ballots, and the
cost of polling stations. For instance,
he is allowed to pay no more than
81. so per thousand for printing bal
lots. no more than SIS for ballot-box
or 81 when it is rented, etc. The
penalties for the violation of the law
are so severe and detection is so cer-
tain that election bribery as we know
it has entirely disappeared. The cost
of elections has been reduced fully
three-fourths since 1880. --Mita0Gakee

Walled Lakes of Iowa.


Along the water sheds. of Northern
Iowa there are great many small
lakes, varying from half a mile to one
mile in diameter. 80 One. of these in
Wright County, and another. in Sue.
County, have each received the, name
of Walled Lake. -: on account of en-
bankments that completely surround
them. 1t has been generally supposed
that these embellishments were thrown
up by the ancient inhabitants of the
country They are from two to ten
feet high, and from five to thirty feet
in width. Some who have examined
these, however, declare them to be
the result of natural causes only, and
ascribe' them to the periodic action OF
ice, aided to some extent by the force
of the waves. The lakes are very
shallow, and in winter they often
freeze to the very bottom. The ice
freezes fast to the earth below, and as
in its expansion it. acts in all direc-
tiOns, from center to circumference,
certain part of alfuvial deposit is
forced TO the shore, and this going on
from year to year, and from century
to century, has created the natural
embankment.- - Chicago Inter- Ocean.

WHAT GIFTS ARE THINE /

Thou hast some gift of song or speech,
My faltering heart;
Thou hast some power Gods poor to reach
With loves own art:
What gifts-what Heavenly gifts-are thine,
o soul OF mine!
And it is thine with reverent awe
Gods thought to trace,
And mark the moving of His law
Through starry space:
What gifts-what Heavenly gifts-are thine,
o soul Of minel
And thou may'st soar on path OF light
Beyond the stars:
No fetter binds thy pinion's flight,
Nor prison bars:
What gifts-what Heavenly gifts-are thine
o soul of mine
Nor needst thou pause at Heavens gate,
But enter there;
The Power on which archangels wait
Moves at thy prayer:
What gifts-what Heavenly gifts-are thine,
o soul of mine!

Concealed Weapons,

MIR. S. ". Monteith, lawyer OF
Columbia, has written letter to the
Ne,cs and Courier calling attention to
the prevalence of carrying concealed
weapons as fruitful source of crime.
He tells OF a pistol being seen in the
hip pocket of one of the highest State
officials, as he arose from his knees
after the litany in church, and about
five solicitors of the State meeting and
each one pulling pistol from bis
pocket.
The friends of Governor Richardson
thought the article reflected upon
him, and the correspondent Of the
Ne,os and Courier states that the Gov
ernor has never carried pistol on his
person.
The article is very caustic and evi-
dently contains the truth. 1t shows
why it's so difficult to convict men Of
the offence of carrying concealed wea,
pons-public sentiment upholds the
practice. But public sentiment could
be taught to condemn it, if the law Of
icers would make it both dangerous
and disreputable by a strict and fear
less enforcement of the law.-George-

chief agents that promote the preva-
lence of pneumonia Going out into
and breathing the cold air after occu-
pying heated and close rooms, espe-
cially if there are prevailing at the
time high winds charged with invisi-
bic dust, the particles of which act as
mechanical irritants on the lungs, will
tax any ones lungs, and IN many
cases induce pneumonia or consump.
ton. Every one should be very care
full this kind of weather. There are
comparatively few people in this coun-
ty who have not been affected by the
severeweatber We have had for the
past FIVE weeks. If when one first feels
that he is taking cold, he viii at once
take five grains of quinine, it will in
most cases cure the cold; and if in
the first stages OF a cold, five grains
each of quinine and dovers powders
are taken on going to bed, it viii in
almost every case break up the cold.

Admission Of States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-5ir. Springer,
chairman of the committee on terrific
ries, being interviewed to-day, said:
'Very probably enabling acts will be
passed for some of the territories, that
is, we may pass an act enabling some
of the territories to adopt State con-
stitutions, and to construct the ma
chinery OF State governments prepar-
atory to recognition as States. The
admission of new State is a very I'M
portant matter, and cannot be done
on mere application or on any mere
arithmetical basis. An impression has
got abroad that a territory must have
certain qualification to qualify it for
admission. There is no law and no
custom about it. The admission of q
new State is entirely matter OF leg
islative discretion. 1t is within the
power of congress to erect No Mans
Land into State and admit it to
the Uuion. The State of Illinois was
adroitted when it had less than 100000
population. Dakota has over 100000.
Congress in it's discretion may exclude
Dakota and admit No Mans Land.

The Late Carolina Earth Shocks.

The late earth tremors in the Caro-
linas appear to be a marked instance
of seismic disturbance by sudden
changes Of atmospheric pressure. On
Wednesday morning the barometer
read at stations on the Carolina coasts
about SO.32 inches. But thevast an :
ti-cyclone Of high pressure then sweep
ing down on the Southern seaboard
was rapidly increasing the load on the
earth's crust. On Thursday morning
the barometer had risen to 1910 inch
es on the coast north of Charleston.
Slight as this sudden Jump of pressure
may seem, it added a weight of more
than one hundred and ten thousand
tons upon every square mile of the
Carolina coasts Humbolt thought
that earthquakes only occur
with barometric changes in regions
but little subject to shocks. The re-
cent disturbance in the Carolinas has
apparently no grave signifcance.-N.
