A Woman L.ncinrer.

Chicago has female engineer who
runs an engine at a laundry. The fact
mas been brought into prominence by a
complaint made TO the board Of exa1nin-
ing engineers that she is working with
out certificate The law provides that
all engineers shall procure certificates Of
ability, which shall be- issued TO them
upon their passing al examination. with
which requirement this young woman
has failed to comply she has had
charge Of the engine for two years, and
does her own firing, her own mending
Of broken machinery, and IS IN fact an
all around mechanic Of no mean ability
This phenomenon is good looking, not

looking charming, even at the gTirny
work which is her choice. She had pre-

at the laundry, and proving her mechan-
ical ability by numerous tiukenngs Of

found himself short an engineer, trusted
with the charge Of the little engine. All
she needed was trial. And now she
reigns supreme, the goddess of the en-

Wall street and the country have been
inclined to regard the early passage of
the tariff bill as powerful bull argu-
ment, but the bears claim that unless
the senate amendment regarding the
time within which duties shall be paid
on goods now in bonded warehouses in
order to avail of old tariff rates be modi-
fed, the bill will be a boomerang. The
advices from Washington and New York
are to the effect that a satisfactory ar
rangement of this matter has been ar
rived at and that the necessary ex-
tension will be provided for
by congress. This being the
case there would seem TO be no cause
for apprehending any serious financial
troubles just now or at any time in the
near future. With the large purchases
of bonds and silver bullion by the gov
eminent and other large payments on
pension and other accounts, it seems
that there should not be any talk about
stringency of money at this time, in view
of what the country has gone through
the past two or three years.

The editor of the Emporia Republican
is posing as a jiboose when he attempts
to explain why the EAGLE has criticised
some of the late measures and methods
of the Republican party. The real editor
of the Republican knows that the man
whose name is at the head of this page
edits the EAGLE, and knows that there is
no page of any newspaper in Kansas
that so constantly prints, not only the
words, but that SO strictly reflects the
convictions and spirit of its editor as does
the editorial and local pages of the EAGLE
those of Its editor And. Mr.. Eskridge. the
declaration that the Mckinley bill is a
fraud on the producing west, and that
the Republican party of Kansas is run
ming too much into intolerant machine
methods. etc. etc, and all such like
breaks, were made deliberately bv the
editor of the EAGLE himself. who is as old
IN the service of the Republican party as
any man in 1t, for he has been with it
from the first.

Labor agitation seems to be suppressed
ing everything else in Importance in Lon
don. The general success that has at
tended the strikes this summer has en-
couraged workingmen in all parts of the
United Kingdom. 1t sounds funny to
hear that even the notwithstanding
men are striking for an increase of
wages, but such is the fact. Every
branch of industry seems TO be per-
meated by this uneasiness, and there are
more than ordinary indications that a
great conflict between labor and capital
may be imminent.

The Democrats, in selecting their can
didate for state auditor seem to have
been impressed with the notion that that
office OF right belongs to the southern
part Of the state, and profting by the
example set by the Republicans four
years ago in choosing that big-hearted
Irishman, Tim Mccarthy, for the
position named, the Dems selected
as their candidate gentleman of Irish
extraction, and an alleged kinsman of the
great Irish advocate in the English
parliament, John Dillon. OF course
this is a mere coincidence and is utterly
void Of a suggestiveness, unless it be
that of expediency on the part of our
friends, the enemy.

HALLOWELL'S CAMPAIGN.

This is an off year, but the campaign
promises to be a very lively one, for all
that. The skirmish lines are being thrown
out on all sides and already one leader
has brought on a general engagement.
Every day we hear from Colonel Halo
wells movements. He is not depend
ing on strategy or intricate maneuvers,
but is pounding the enemy with open,
unmarked batteries and breaking their
lines of opposition at every point of
attack. Hon. Thomas Hubbard writes
us that Hallowelrs meeting at Yelling
ton Saturday was winning affair.
Other reports say that he acquitted him
self most valiantly. Democrats by the
score, who have been unsuccessfully try
ing to swallow that Medicine Lodge
ignoramus, who seems to have as little
use for the Christian bible as
he does for the American flag, and who
came long distances to hear Prince
Hal plead his own cause and that of
his party, were more than satisfied that
the Republicans had nominated the right
man, some of them even showing en-
thusiasm. The Republicans of Sumner
county were warm in their praise of
Hallowell, being heartily in accord with
his views and convictions touching all
the leading questions and perplexing
problems now agitating the people of the
west. The soundness of his doctrines
and the earnestness with which he puts
them, renders him irresistible before an
audience of fair minded, honest men,
whatever their politics.
Hallowell has a walk over, which fact
will be generally conceded before the
camnaipn is half over

The political situation up in the First

Captain Tillman is now regularly in
the field as the Democratic candidate for
governor Of South Carolina. The with
drawal of all opposition within his own
party lines renders his election sure. His
administration will be watched with
concern by those who have regarded him
as a demigod; but as the representative
OF the Farmers Alliance he is pledged to
the Jealous observance of the principles
of economy and responsibility. How he
will hold to his pledges if be remains
true to the faith of the party which has
placed its standard in his hands, Is what

The extension Of the triple alliance be-
tween Germany and Austria for seven
years, in regard to the Balkan country
means that the conditions in that quarter
that have prevailed for several years are
to continue, at least for the period men
toned; which also means a continued
state of unrest among the people and
personal intrigue among ambitious rivals
for political ascendency. This, of course,
presupposeS the continued peace Of the
continent.

One of the amusing incidents of the
period is the sparring between New York

latterabout its wrangling over the worlds

or about its dilitoriness in the Grant

il would do if it had the others enter
prise in hand. Meanwhile the outside
public feel sense Of disgust growing
upon them at the shuffling and double
dealing of both.

General Greeley, chief of the Signal
service, is unquestionable correct, both
in his theory of the cause of the hot
winds that occur from time to time IN
certain sections of the west, and also In
regard TO the remedy. Tree planting,
cultivating the soil and irrigation cannot
fail to prevent in very large measure, the
recurrence of such blighting visitations.
The question is, how to bring about the
first two conditions-the last must be
done mainly by the government. and is
necessarily dependent upon the others for
accomplishment. Tree planting and cul-
tivation presupposes a bona fide settling
up of the country to be reclaimed and
several years continued effort on the part
of the settlers, and how to maintain
themselves for the time is the puzzling
question. Without assistance from the
government the progress cannot but be
very Slow

Wichita EAGLE are having a friendly tilt
over the attitude of Kansas Republicans
on tariff reform, the latter maintaining
that the Republicans of this state strongly
favor reciprocity. and the former main
tanning that they still adhere to the old
protective humbug. 1t is evident from
this discussion that the Republican pro-
poses going it blind.

ROUND THE WORLD IN FIFTY-THREE
DAYS.

DAYS.
From the London Times.
A postal card was recently dispatched
westward on a Journey round the world
the performance of which it duly accom-
plished in the then unbeaten time of
sixty-eight days. The card was posted
at the Guildhall postOtfice to COM
memorate the pendy postage jubilee on
May II last, and was sent via the United
States to Japan, and thence reposted, via
Brindisi, back to London, where it ar
rived on the oath ult. That performance
has since been beaten. Another card has
been posted round the world in the
reverse direction. This second dispatch
was sent on June - to Singapore, in the
Straits Settlements, via Brindisi, and re-
turned from that port to the sender, via
Hong Kong and San Francisco, reach
ing London on the 9th inst. The time
taken by it IN travelling the entire belt of
the earth was only fifty-three days, or
fifteen days less time than that occupied
by the tirst-named card in travelling the
westward direction of the worlds cir
cult. This feat was accomplished at the
very small cost of SD. The postmarks
ON the card record that it left London on
June - and duly arrived at Singapore
on July 5. which shows that the out
ward journey was accomplished in ex-
actly twenty-five days. Restarting, it
left that port the same day, and travel
ing onward via Hong Kong and San
Francisco, it reached Shepard's Bush and
was delivered to its original sender dur
ing the afternoon of the 9TH inst. or
twentv-eight days -four weeks) after it
had left Singapore, making its total time
on journey tifty-three days. or fifteen
days less time than that taken by the
card in travelling westwardly.
