Curious Theory OF Transforms.

prevalence OF floods and rain
storms. He says that there are over 80,
900 locomotives in use in North America,
and estimates that from them alone over
SO. 900, 100000 cubic yards of vapor ere
sent into the atmosphere every week,
10 be returned in thu form of rain,
or over 7OOO,OOO,OOO cubic yards
a day-"quite enough" he says, ito

four houre. Estimating the number of
other n-oondsnsing engines in use at
eight times tie number Of locomotives,
the total vapor thus projected into TIRE air
every week in this courtry amounts to

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-25

THE Hartford Post says "the people want no more experience like that to which the late democratic administra- ton favored them, in the direction of a changed railway mail service" And yet the service is being ''changed' now as rapidly as it can be done. Ex- perienced clerks are being turned out as fast as new commissions can be made out, and for no other reason than that they are democrats. Take the case of young MT Carney, of Waterbury, for instance. His republican co-workers on the Naugatuck testified that he was an exceptionally efficient and well qualified man for his business, and yet he had to retire to make way for a republican. If there are any democrats in the railway mail service by the 1st of May, the date set for placing it under civil service rules, it will need a microscope to find them.

 A GENTLEMAN recently returned fro m a drive through the country towns of New York asserts that he has not very much objection to a cottage that is consistently Queen Anne all through, but he evlnces a strong antipathy to those houses and their name is legion-'that are Queen Anne in front and Mary Anne at the back" ''WEAR this for me-" said the bee-you-ti- full Princess as she rose to pin the queen of flowers in the gay courtier's chapeau.

shoot him if he attempted to vote, was sentenced to two years imprisonment. Another man convicted of interfering unlawfully in the election was fined $500 The authorities prosecuting the men were democIatic, the court that found them guilty was democratic, and the ttate that has thus upheld the sanctity of the ballot is democratic. It is one of the solid south, too, which republicans have been accustomed to point to as a commonwealth where free suffrage is a farce and the negro is systematically de- prived of his right to vote. And yet here we have the only instance, save a few minor ones in New York city where several of Matt Quay's colonized voters were sent to Sing Sing last fall, in which crimes against the ballot.
 Colonel Dudley's infamous traffic in "foaters" and Chairman Huston's un- blushing buying of votes, by which ln- diana was carried for Harrison, have been the shame and disgrace of'the state, and yet Judge Woods court at Indian apolis has been prostitnted to shield them against the proper punishment of their crimes. Dudley is skylarking around Washington using his influence to get his heelers appointed to office, and Huston has received his reward in the shape of an honorable and lucrative office for himself. Harrison has not formally repudiated the methods by which he was elected, neither has re- publican Indiana taken any action against the men who debauched the suf- frage by bribery, corruption and de- ception.
 Arkansas has read the boasted intelli- gence of the north and west a lesson that might well be needed.

 THE German Empress appeared in gown of white silk, with train several yards long, embroidered with gold and silver. The material cost S1, 800. The embroidery re quired the work of twelve girls for two months.
 QUEEN VICTORIA is fond of straw hats. She recently had photograph taken of her. self as she sat at breakfast surrounded by her family. On her head was most re- markable straw hat, the most striking ob- ject in the picture.

A LITTLE LAW NEEDED.

The news from Oklahoma up to the present time is anything but cheering. It is not that there have been so many murders or serious disputes for it is true that there has been less trouble on that score than was apprehended. But it is very evident that the foundation has been laid for murder, rapine and bloodshed, and if reports are true United States officials are not entirely blameless in the matter.
 By the provisions of the law opening up the territory for settlement no claim ant was to pass beyond the boundaries before the booming of the signal gun at noon on Monday. And yet when the first legal corners arrived at Guthrie twelve miles from the boundary line, after fair race in which they passed their competitors, they found others there before them stalking claims and dividing out their lots. United States officials, civil and military, are said to have been among them and to have par ticipated in the illegal seizure of the land. In any event, whether or not they were actually guilty of illegal land grabbing themselves, they must have connived at the breaking, for in no other way could the squatters have gain ed access to the territory before the ap- pointed time. In no way except by illegal invasion could they have reached point twelve miles inside the boundary lines within an hour and be- fore the swiftest and hardest driven horses could carry their riders there after the signal gun had boomed it's hour of starting. The officials, and there is a United States judge among them, are equally guilty with the invaders, and all should be punished alike.
 It will not do for the government to wink at this infractiOn of the law by those to whom is intrusted its enforce ment. It will not do to allow those to be defrauded who obeyed the letter and spirit of the law opening up the terri tory. It will not do to rob them of the homes that belong to them and for which they risked all their other worldly posses sions. The government owes 1t to itself, owes it to its law-abiding citizens and tc the honest men at Oklahoma to investi gate the scandal and let the punishment fall where it belongs. There is little law needed at Oklahoma, and its dlspen sation should be committed to intelligent and energetic hands.

THE PAY ENVELOPES.

That peculiar body known as the judi ciary committee reported yesterday to that other peculiar body known as the Connecticut legislature that manufac- turers should not be prohibited from in sulting their honest employees by com polling them to accept their wages in envelopes plastered over with political lies and conceits. There was no word of objection made to the report, for it would be of little use for any democrat to object. The republicans would never consent to shut out employers from a privilege of preaching political heresies to their help when their preaching could be made serviceable to the party.
 One of the most damning pieces of 1 monopolistic impudence and un-Amer- | ican oppression ever attempted in this country was the use of political pay en- velopes by republican manufacturers in the last campaign. Filled with lies and dogmatic assertions in regard to matters that formed the whole controversy be- tween the parties they carried with them a bitter sense of humiliation to the American workingman and made him feel that the boasted freedom of the land was farce and a hum- bug. If he were compelled to take his religious teaching diluted by the particular beliefs or ideas of his en- ployer there would be a protest and pos sibly a revalt against such invasion of his rights. And yet it would be not one whit more contemptible or un-Amer- ican to ram religious doctrine down his throat in this way than to cram him with political lies or distasteful political doctrines. It has always been the boast of the American citizen that he was a freeman in fact as we'll as in name, and that he sought political inspiration at fountains of his own choosing. True, it has been but boast, thanks to the inn pudence and dishonesty of republican employers in coercing their workmen. It was hardly expected, however, that a Connecticut legislature would back up the impudence and dishonesty of repub- lican manufacturers by allowing them
 
 tion of the spirit of American liberty. But then, of course, this is a very pe- culiar legislature that sits in Hartford this year.
 We may expect, thanks to a republi- can legislature, to see the scandal of last fall repeated in 1892. We may expect to see honest workmen humiliated, and that too by party that pretends to be the friend of the workingman. But we may expect also to see these workmer assert their independence at the polls and if they have secret ballot they will give their employers taste of the ole American spirit that surprised the British hundred years ago. So let the political pay envelopes stay-they vii be as harmless in 1892 as the serpent whose fangs have been drawn.
