ARALLAD OF ELECTRICITY.


A = fine a LOT of scientists
AS ever mortal saw
We're discussing The relation
OF electricity and law;
The special theme before them
Included in its scope:
Shall artificial tightening
Supersede the hangman's rope,
The bplging browed professors
Discussed with such technique
That a common man of letters
Wasn't in it, so 10 speak,
There was much about electrodes
And more abont "ampercs.
And the celebrating currents
That would Kill dozen Steers
There were several learned papers
About voltage high and low.
OF resistance" and induction,
And how the currents ilow
AT length it was decided
That the hangman's rope must an.
And with unanimity
Not particularly slow.
Here rose gaunt professor,
With battery by his side,
And said that star eyed Science
Was his sweetheart and his bride
They could exec ute murder
Quick as rolling of a log,
But be deemed it first eXpedieht
To try il Oh dog.
Then they borrowed of old Bow arsoN
A dog Of low degree,
And tethered him securely
With wire to a tree
They examined well the canine.
And read from some more tones
Calculating his resistance
Al 4 hundred thousand Ohms.
Let Us not delay the tragedy,
But hasten on the way
TO demonstrate the AXIOM
Every dog must have his day
So the batteries were ready.
And the wise ones stn Cd about
To see how mighty suddeu
They could snuil a canine ont.
How many hundred thousand volts
They shot into his hide.
With their alternating currents
And other things beside.
1t was never clearly stated.
oh, the canine. Where was he
Why be never seemed to mind H.
But sereneIy scratched flea
Why was the bolt not fatas
There's the scientific rub;
But then they took the dog out
And killed him with club.

THURSDAY, MAY 70, 1880.

The South is becoming a iormida
BILE competitor in the production OF
iron and Pennsylvania is commencing
to feel the effects Of IL. Mr.. Carnegie,
the great iron manufacturer of Penn
sylvania, is reported as saying;
1.-THE truth is, our country cannot con-
sumo the amount Of pig iron which it
has the capacity TO produce. The East
ern drop has been FASTENED by Southern
competition. You know told the Leg
ielature, in my address, that this compe-
tition would soon be felt. 1t has come
sooner than / expected. That the con-
sumption of iron aud steel is as great as
1t Is arises from the fact that owing to the
advance in prices abroad the American
manufacturers are lett Tor the first time
in almost complete control OF our home
markets. But even under these condi-
lions the country cannot take the amount
we are prepared TO make, and prices
must rule low until lumber of fur
naces and mills conclude that 1t is better
to stop Tor awhile than to continue run
ming. 1t seems probable that this VIII
coon occur, for furnaces cannot utiord to
ray the prices demanded for ore and run
at the rates now ruling for pig iron"
But while Mr.. Carnegie and the
other iron manufacturers OF the Key
stone State are respondent, the people
of the South are coTrespondinglY
happy, and the Atlanta Constitution,
in speaking of this matter, says;
A new light Is thrown on the recent
cut IN pig iron made by Mr.. Samuel
Thomas, the iron king OF Pennsylvania.
1t was fret thought that Mr.. Thomas was
beginning an aggressive campaign to
drive the Southern iron mills out OF the
market. 1t now appears that Mr.. Thomas
is on the defensive rather than the aggree-
sive. Ire Southern mills have been sell
ing pig iron in New York at SIG. 50 ton
for year, while Mr.. Thomas has been
selling at sis a ton. He has at last been
forced TO cut his prices to meet the
Southern iron makers. The cut will
drive many Pennsylvania furnace out
OF blast, but 1t Will not shut up furnace
in the South. 1t is developed also thai
Mr.. Thomas can no longer hold the titlI
he has worn so proudly for fifty years
'ihe iron king of the world"
His output lie only one hundred ant
seventy-tvs thousand tons year, Will,
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
has an output OF three hundred and hitl
thousand tons a year.
The people can stand competition
among ourselves, whether it is IL
meat, iron or anything else, but ar,
opposed to being compelled TO compel,
with articles of foreign manufacture
The fact that the South lie able to com
pete with Pennsylvania in the produc
ton of iron, shows the immense stride
that arc being made by the new South
and We all know that Whatever tend
TO its prosperity must prove benef
10 the enure country.

JOLIET, H., May 23.-The coal miners
10 the twelfth district OF tine National
Progressive Union met In convention on
Tuesday. The operate were invited to
the meeting, but refused to attend. Work
Is suspended in the district, owing TO q
proposed reduction in wages OF 10 cents
per ton. The niners offer to accept a
reduction of ga cents per ton, which
would make the wages ~! cents, the
basis upon which the Ohio and Pennsyl-
yan!a miners have settled. The opera ors
claim they canpot compete With machine
mined coal at that rate. The men finally
offered to arhitrate ii the proposition to
accept a ~ cent reduction should not
avail, and affirming their purpo to fight
to finish II arbitration is rejected by the
operators.
The miners at Braidwood, Illinois, yes
terday paraded the streets with arms,
threatening to burn the miues aud shoot
all who go to work under price. The
sheriff started from this place for Brat +

When completed the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad Company will have the pIettlest
flower beds at their depot, Delaware ave-
nue. and DUPONT street, that can be found
on the line Of the new road. The large
dat area of flled.in earth, containing
about an acre of ground adjoining the
depot, has been devoted entirely to nori-
culture for the mere sake of beautitying
the place. The laying out of the plsts
commenced last year, when walk lad
with crushed stone was made from the
corner of the depot to the corner OF the
lot at Fourteenth and DUPONT streets,
and round centre piece was laid out.
This spring more advances have been
made and large beds have been laid out.
They looked Irregular at first, but by the
careful manipulations of the floral archi-
tect they soon began to assume regular
shape aud the outlines nov show tue gar
dener's skill.
A beautiful design with arrow head
POINTS takes up the side next to the
tracks. This design has in it uine plats,
some regular, others Irregular in shape,
but all blending In one grand figure that
Won Il be imperfect with any one de-
sign missing. Another large design at
the side next TO the depot is shaped some
what like the letter "D" and when all the
designs are completed 1t is said that the
whole will represen. "B. & o."
The sub-soil for planting the flowers in
was brought from distance and was
carefully prepared. The flowers used are
mostly geraniums, coleas and heliotropes,
though year after year other plants will
be Introduced. This summer may be
said to he but the beginning OF what is
Intended to be made.
Mr.. Whitelock, who has the work in
charge takes great delight in his work,
and Will spare no pains to make the
place attractive. Passengers taking the
cars at this depot either way, If ahead OF
lime, can spend few moments very
leasantly taking n walk among these
over beds.

Some of the deluded Democrats are
still looking TO Grover Cleveland as
the coming man in 1892, but the ma
jority Of the party will, before that
lime, come to the conclusion that there
is no one connected with il that is as
dead as he is. Mr.. Cleveland made
his last effort in 1888, ana is now dead,
beyond any hope of resurrection. The
last two years OF his term was en-
ployed in trying to make a solid
South, which he hoped, with the as
Eistance Of few Northern States,
would secure his re election, but when
the time came for the people to de-
post their ballots and say who should
be President Of these United States, he
found that be ana his free trade prin
ciples were left lar in the rear. Ii tint
Democratic party wishes TO nominate
him in 1892 they are welcome 10 az
80, and will ind that he VIII be mucl
easier beaten then than he was at TIT
last election. Grover Cleveland, th'
accidental President, is a dead man
and it would lie much easier to resur
rect a corpse than to again elect hin
President,

1t is not certain whether or not an
extra session OF Congress will be
called by the President, as the opin-
ions of Sta esmen differ in the matter,
still II cannot be denied that there are
many reasons why an extra session
should be called. There are several
new States to be admitted, and in ad.
dition to that there Is vast deal OF
public business that should be attended
10. Among this 10 revision of the
tariff, which will place a prohibitory
duty on all goods that can be manu-
featured or produced in this country
Something should also be done con
corning the internal revenue tax, a:
this is an imposition on our own people
that should be removed as soor
as possible. At the time it wa!
levied the country needed it, but now
1t is no longer necessary and is only {
clog on the wheels of a number OF IN
dustries, These are matters that shoult
be attended TO, and the sooner thI
