Local forecasts: Fair weather.
A NEW use for electricity reported
from Paris is in process OF engraving
on glass or cry stall. The work is re-
markably fine and the cost small. The
discove is regarded as almost revolu-
tionary in that line.
IT is probable that the relations Of
the average legislator in North Dakota
with railroad ticket dispensers will be
more quietly sub rosa under the new
constitution, as it provides that any
member of the legislature who shall
ride on a free pass shall forfeit his seat.
There may be rebates of 100 cents on
the dollar.
A PHILADELPHIA paper mentions a
business practice there that has various
illustrations in other localities. The
cracker makers of the city sell their
product cheaper abroad than at home;
so much so that the local dealers save
money by going to Boston to buy Phila-
delphia crackers. Somebody has to pay
the freights between the cities. 1t may
be good practical business, but it looks
queer.
RUSSELL HARRISON only chalked his
name in the top of the Eiffel tower, but
CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW makes one of
his sonorous after-dinner speeches up
there. This new use Of the tower is an
additional incentive to build a higher
one at the next worlds fair. There
need be no Limitation in height. 1t may
be 1000 or 5000 feet. The higher the
better, if the gorged orators are to be
put upon its summit.
PERSONS who come from the East to
the notwithstanding Northwest to re-
cruit should observe the case of the
New York man. His round-trip ticket
gave an accurate description of him as
he came out, but after few months in
the ozone he had added 100 pounds and
didn't fit the invalid described at all.
In consequence he was fred off the
cars as an impostor; but he will proba-
bly, get the $4,000 or less damages
sought.
AsBURY PARK in New JERSEY was
founded good many years ago by MI.
BRADLEY, as resort where religion
and prohibition would shave no enemies
to wrestle with. All the contriyances
to keep out liquor were utilized, but
Mr.. BRADLEY surprises good many
people by now favoring the substitution
of license for prohibition. There could
hardly be more favorable conditions for
the exclusive policy than at this resort.
Still, some insist that prohibition pro-
hibitS.
THERE is significance in the fact that
1t has been found needful to put in
Republican state platfor m vigorous
denial that ''the success of the Repub-
lican party of Virginia would endanger
the social order and civilization of the
state. and place its ignorance and vice
over intelligence and virtue" When
party is forced to declaration of that
sort it may almost be doubted that it
1has trust covering ''all the intelligence
and morality" OF the country.
II Is said from Washington that no
member of the cabinet will be in the
fieldin opposition to the president in
1892. A boss is being put in possession
of the government patronage in each
state in order to control the machine
and insure delegates favorable to the re-
nomination of HARRISON, as MAHoNE
in Virginia, PLATT in New York,
CHANDLER in New Hampshire and
ELARKsoN in Iowa. All the official in
fuences will be worked TO this end.
THERE are several parties in town
who are confident that they have the
hay fever, and are possibly a trifle
proud of the fact. They may perhaps
feel little taller at the theory adj
vanced at the hay fever convention in
New York this week, that it is moral
disease. Aldermen of the Eastern
cities, bad people and the vulgar fell
lows who wear their handkerchiefS for
coat sleeves, never have the hay fever.
The snufflers of artistic standing are
said to number 100000.
The chamber of commerce in San
Francisco wants an ocean cable to Aus
tralia; and, following the tendencies of
the times, wants the government to al,
low it an annual subsidy of $500, 900.
Gables are convenient things to have
about, and DO doubt one to Australia
would be of special advantage to the
Golden Gate city, but the general gov
eminent should not put the public
money into it. The subsidy business is
vicious, and there is a growing feeling
that it should be let alone by the gov
eminent.
GOOD many Of those who complain
of postal delinqueneies have themselves
to blame. The report of the Boston
postmaster shows that in that city the
past fiscal year there were 1862 mis-
directed letters, and 1915 put in the
mail boxes without stamps. There IS
no special reason why there should be
more of this sloyenly work in Boston
than in other cities, even if SULLIVAN
does distract the mind there. There is
no doubt proportionately as much of it
