A Baptist preacher, Baylus Cade. Of
North Carolina, has turned his eyes upon
worldly affairs long enough to invent a
method of telegraphing from railway
trains while in motion. A set Of wires is
laid along the track. and connection il
made with them by drag beneath the
car A successful trial of the invention
was recently made by the Raleigh and
CASTOR railroad upon train going thirty
miles an hour. 1t seems that it will moi
be long. therefore, until messages can bt
sent to and from moving trains as easily
as from the stations. The track wire:
might also be used for all messages

The Constitution.
Partisan

There is every reason for the belief
that next week will see the close of the
constitutional convention. While the
document that has been formulated is
undoubtedly weak in some particulars
and might be improved in many, its
general features are wise and commend
able and there can be but little doubt
that it will be adopted by large major
ity. The tendency which was displayed
in the early days Of the session to go too
far in the direction of legislation seems
to have been curbed and the delegates
have contented themselves with framing
a constitution and iIoG composing a
statute book. Thejudiciary system is
admirable and when fully developed so
that there will be continuous court in
every county and several in the large
cities will give general satisfaction. The
executive and legislative departments
are similar in most respects to those ex-
listing in other states, and there is moth
ing strikingly new or novel in their
organization. In other respects the new
organic law has been wisely framed.
Corporations and their monopolistie ten
denotes have been curbed and controlled
while the life has not been crushed out
of them. The rights of the people have
been carefully guarded, and the legisla-
ture has wisely been allowed to perform
the duties, which properly belong to it,
untrammelled by narrow and unnecessary
constitutional restriction. Capital and
labor have alike been encouraged to seek
in the empire state of the Pacific Coast
genial home. No where in the United
States is there a commonwealth possess
ing the natural advantages of this state,
and no where can all classes of men
come with greater certainty of success
than here. While there were few great
men in the convention there were brainy
sensible ones and the consentors of their
wisdom has given US constitution of
which as a whole we may all be proud

HoN. JOHN B. ALLEN was the one man
to whom the people instinctively turned
last year as the one most likely to trl-
umph over the democratic candidate, and
the overwhelming victory he won is still
fresh in the minds of the people, and to
cast him off now when the new state is
conceded to be undoubtedly republican
would be gross ingratitude and an in
Justice too apparent to the most indif-
ferent. The rank and file of the people
believe that Mr.. Allen is fully entitled to
a senatorship, not merely as a reward
for past services, but because of his rec
ognized ability and undisputed integrity
of character.-Spangle Record.

ACTING Commissioner W. M. Stone
of the general land Office reports to Sec
rotary Noble, under date of July 81,
1889, concerning the business of that
Office as follows: ~ herewith submit for
your information the number of patents
issued by this Office from June l, 1889,
to July %, 1889, to the different states
and territories, the total number being
1865, or an average of 2,207 per week
and $50 per day. This result presents
a marked increase over any equal length
of time heretofore, and 1t has been re-
ceived with great satisfaction. I take
pleasure in stating that the policy of
the present administration, fully ex-
planned to me by you, upon my assum-
ing the duties of this Office, of prompt
and impartial examinations of the claims
of settlers upon the public domain, hber-
al to the extent of the law, is being
faithfully carried out, and shall be con-
tinued as vigorously as the limited force
allowed me by law will permit. I con-
fdently expect that from and after the
first of August, the issue of patents will
be not less than 500 daily, at which rate
I hope I shall be able, during the pres
ent year, to bring up the entire work Of
this Office, now much delayed, to the
first of January, 1889.

AN Eastern industrial exchange says;
England far outdoes America IN the
number of its trusts and business COM
binations. Nineteen trusts have been
formed in the Uuited Kingdom since the
beginning of the year. They represent
capital of $12,30O,O00. The most
gigantic combination on record, however,
will be the British coal trust. If COM
pleted, it will represent a capital OF
S5OO,OOO,00O. We can look on and
wonder if the time will ever come when
our broad continent will groan under SO
much combination and carry such a
multiplicity of syndicates. Let whose
ever charges protection with the faults
of our own country in such respects take
a look at free trade England and then
repeat the assurance. 1t is about time
the free traders of America learned some
lessons from their old mother, England.

WHEN Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
received a dispatch announcing that the
friends of Judge Terry wanted him to
come out to California to prosecute
Judge Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle,
he said: "I will not go. There is not
enough money in California to take me
out on such an errand. Why, we might
as well Danish our courts of law if our
Judges are to be terrorized and assaulted
for rendering honest decisions. From
all I have heard and seen the justice has
committed no offense, unless it be one
to be insulted. Money could not pay
me to prosecute Justice Field in this
case. I believe in perfectly free judic-
larry. If the judge renders a corrupt
decision the law provides for his impeach-
ment. If the suitors who are defeated
resort to brute force and the people sus-
tain such course then the courts should
be abolished. An individual must sub
nit to the law as administered and ex-
pounded by the courts, and must seek
his remedy within the law"

THERE is but one opinion concerning
the sooting of Judge Terry by Deputy
U. S. Marshal Maggie, at Lathrop, Cal,
and that is that he merited his fate.
His life was one of crime-he was IN fact
an outlaw, and his well known record
coupled with his threats against Justice
Field and the assault made on the latter
ut the time of the shooting were suffic-
lent to make any prudent man fear for
the life of Judge Field. Nagle was dep
utized to protect Judge Field from the
threatened assault by Terry and he did
his whole duty for which he is entitled
to the thanks of all law abiding and
liberty loving people. 1t is proper that
an example be made of pen who threaten
the lives of the judges of our courts.

1t is all nonsense to tell women not
to make up" They will do It. and
we must confess that some are posi-
lively repulsive mostly because they
endeavor to do away entirely with all
the dainty accessories so necessary to
a charming and attractive toilet. The
trouble is that so many silly women in
their anxiety for self improvement
overreach the mark which divides re-
fined elegance from g~rotesque vulgar
ity. The fault lies not so much an the
use of some one or more articles 10
improve defects, but the way in which
they are used. Ali the men are so
fearfully inconsistent. That is the
trouble.
How often they are heard to declare,
in terms most emphatic, that woman's
greatest charm is In being perfectly
natural. Now watch them, please,
when introduced TO q fascinating bit
of femininity. Do they stop 10 study
up cause and effects to find Just what
has given that tinge of color to the
pretty white check, TO inquire why the
eyes look so dark and brilliant as they
dance and sparkle beneath the curly,
fluffy bang1 OF course not. The in
consistent creature, man, realizes but
one thing. The girl is lovely, and he
who is Sc ready 10 condemn is also the
first TO admire. The cute little woman

way rejoicing, feeling quite repaid for
the extra attention given to her skill

An AntIaote for Morphine.

According to a Klausenberg scien-
fist, Professor Bokai, picrotoxin is the
best antidote to morphine. The effect
of morphine is, of course, TO paralyze
the action of the respiratory center ;
picrotoNin, on the contrary, when
given in small doses, increases such
action. Thus the two drugs act in a
directly opposite way.
An overdose of morphine produces
paralysis of the respiratory organs
picrotoXin prevents such paralysis
therefore picrotoxin is likely 10 be of
great use in cases of poisoning from
morphine.
Diminution of the pressure of the
blood ensues upon an overdose of NOR
phino; but picrotoXin counteracts such
effects by stimulating the vase con
strictor center of themedulla. These
two agents again have an entirely OPP
posite effect upon the cerebral hcmi-
spheres.
Up till now the only antidote 10
morphine known has been atropine,
but it cannot be administered in large
doses, and it is therefore necessary to
discover some other antidote if posi-,
bic. Professor Bokai considers that
p]icrotOXin may be useful as n sub.
stitute for preparation of nuX vomica.
He even considers that its use will be
e]ilicacious in the prevention of as.
phyxia from chloroform.-Pittsburg

With nymphsa and satyrs from the dewy sods
Freshly anointed
Great Jove sat throued in state with Hernes near.
And fiery Bacchus;

Whose visions rack us
Artemis wore her cressnt free Of starez,

Rude was my visitant Of sturdy form,
Draped in such clothing
As the worlds great whom luxury makes warm,
Look on with ~loathing.
And yet me thought his service badge OF soil
With honor wearing,
And in his dexter hand, embossed with toll.
a hammer bearing.
But while I waited till his eye should sink.

with heart impotence brimming TO the brink

His weapon poisoning;
