ABOUT SALOON CLOSING.

To-day, as we suppose and hope, the
saloon-keepers will be informed that they
can rest from their labors tomorrow. This
cessation of saloon business on Sunday is
made necessary by the TACT that on the first
day of the week nearly all people have
agreed to cease work, and many desire to
attend divine services on that day.
The day on which the sons and daughters
of the people walk forth more than on any
other, and when there are none of the ordi-
nary pursuits of the week to engage their
attention, might become for some of them
days of contamination and disgust unless
the saloon is closed and the streets thus
freed from the spectacle of intoxicated men.
This is leading reason for the closing of
the front doors of saloons, that temptation
may not faunt itself in the sight of the
unwary, and that the sense of decency
among the people may not be shocked by
offensive and perhaps brutal exhibitions of
the debasing effects of intoxicants upon
mankind.
This might seem to imply that liquor
may be sold, the saloon may run with full
blast, provided only that the front doors
are closed and the blinds drawn; and it is
of this hidden traffic that we wish partic-
ularly to speak.
We insist most emphatically that if the
front door is closed the rear door should
also be; and that if the better class Of
saloons are closed the olives" must be shut

Gen. Buffers Ornaments.

During his long practice Gen. Butler has
been associated with or opposed to such
men as Webster, Choate, Fletcher, Ever
EFT, Gushing, Curtiss, Rantoul and Abbott.
Gen. Butler was opposed to Rufus Choate
in suit for damages instituted on the part
of the crew against a captain who had neg
lected to supply his ship with antidotes for
the scurvy. Gen. Butler conducted the
cause of the sailors and Mr.. Choate defend
ed the captain. The trial lasted nineteen
days. Gen. Buffers chief points were that
the captain was bound to procure fresh
vegetables if he could, and that he could.
A most remarkable amount of evidence
was submitted by the sailors counsel. Be.
fore the trial was over almost every lead
ing physician in Boston and nearly every
sea captain and ship owner had appeared
on the witness stand. In spite of Mr.
Choate's skill and eloquence the jury gave
damages of So, 000.-Boston Advertiser.

About Real Diamonds.

Experts in diamonds say that there is no
public in the world so intelligent in the
choice of stones of the first water and of
good color as the American. No diamond
of any value should ever be purchased
without carefully examining the stone with
a microscope. There are abundance of
diamonds in market which are offered at
attractive prices, and which even to the
experienced eye present all the beauty of
perfect stones until they are subjected to a
microscopic test, when the flaws in them
become clearly visible.
The handsomest diamond ornaments now
worn are in sun or star forms, and are set
in platinum to show as little metal as pos.
sible. When worn as pendant they are
hung on strong but almost invisible chain
of platinum and gold. A renaissance scroll
is another pattern of these diamond orna-
ments, which may be worn as brooch,
pendant or jeweled hairpin; this is made
up solidly of diamonds in invisible setting.
There are also lovely crescents and many
other designs.-New York Tribune.

The Division of limo.

A ''solar day" is measured by the rota-
ton of the earth upon its axis and is of
different lengths, owing to the ellipticity of
the earth's orbit and other causes; but a
mean solar day is twenty-four hours long,
as recorded by timepieces. An "astrono-
mical day" commences at noon and is
counted from the first to the twenty fourth
hour. a civil day" commences at mid
night and is counted from the first to the
twelfth hours, when it is again counted
from the first to the twelfth at night. A
nautical day" is counted as a Civil day."

as with the Astronomical day." A zeal

81 days. A mean ''lunar month" is 90 days,
IL hours, A minutes. 2 seconds and 5.24

a ''year" is divided into 965 days. A
''solar year." which is the time occupied by
the sun in passing from one vernal equinox
to another, consists of 800. 2442244 solar days,
which is equal to 365 days, hours, 4S min

is 365 days. A "Gregorian year" is 800. 2425
days. Every fourth year is "bissextile" or
''leap year." and is 366 days in length. The
error in the Gregorian mode of reckoning
time amounts to but one day in 3,571. 42S6
years.-St. Louis Republic.

THE NIHiLIsTs AT WORK.

It will not surprise the world, nor will
the world grieve, when a great revolution
shall take place in Russia and overthrow
that mighty government as completely as
the corrupt French monarchy was over
thrown a hundred years ago. Notwith-
standing the determined efforts to suppress
NihiIism, efforts which keep Siberia peo-
pied with some of tae brightest men and
women in the empire, there are evidences
going to show that the revolutionists are
constantly increasing and drawing recruits
from all classes, the highest contributing
as well as the lowest, the educated and the
unlettered, the rich and the poor, the titled
and the rabble being included among those
who are secretly plotting for the overthrow
of the empire which of all the civilized ma
tons insists that subjects can be ruled only
with an iron hand. Not long ago the au-
thorities learned that scores of educated
and refined young ladies, many of them
members of aristocratic families, are active
ano enthusiastic Nihilists, and are so de-
termined in their opposition to the prevail
'ng despotism that they take great ris x OF
detection and its awful consequen ces.
There were so many of these young women
implicated and they came from such iufiu-
entail classes, that the officials were 10th
TO proceed against them. The schools are
full of young revolutionists secretly plot
ting against the government, and every lit
tie while nest of Nihilists IS found in the
army. When the time comes to strike the
blow will be simply irresistible in it's
crushing force. The enemies to the en-
pire viii arise from every quarter ana show
so numerously that the friends OF the gov
ernment will be paralyzed.
We say the civilized world will not grieve
over the downfall of the mighty power of
the north. which has stubbornly stood in
the path of progress and human rights for
all these generations, while nations and
people everywhere have steadily advanced

THE CORN MARKET.

The Omaha Bee remarks that Secretary
RUsK is about to ask Congress for an ap-
preparation to enable him to develop the
foreign market for corn and other agricul-
tural products. This is matter of mu
Importance to the corn belt of which Ne
braska is conspicuous part, and the secre-
tary's work will be watched with much in
terest in that section of the country The
problem of the expectation of American
farm proaucts is complex and con tains
many diverse elements. As the pros
perity Of our great agricultural interest in
measure depends upon it, no effort
should be spared to keep the statistics of
the subject up to date, or to widen the de-
mand for those products of which we are
constantly increasing the supply. In 1889
we exported 69,592, 629 bushels of corn,
valued at S32, 9S2,2,7. In that year Ne
braska's production of this cereal was
greater than ever before. The price re-
ceived was lower than ever before, and the
result was not encouraging to her farmers.
The Bee insists that 1.-The foreign market
was entirely too small to take our surplus,
and the home demand was not sufficient to
carry the price to profitable figure. 1t
is plain, therefore, that if the corn belt is
to go on raising this one grain almost ex-
clusively, the only hope for good prices
will be in the rapid and wide extension of
the foreign market. Viewed in this light.
the secretary's undertaking is seen to be
very important"

government would permit the pay Tor the

corn grower had magic wand with which
he could suddenly transform every bushe
of corn into yard of Scotch grey, or int

find fault with him for doing so, because i
would then be clear that in raising corn b,

up likewise. Now, we are informed by a
man in whose word we have perfect con-
fidence, that one saloon ran half day with
open front doors, Two Sundays ago, and
rumor says that there were some of the
dives" selling liquor most of the day.
Whether the rumor is true or not, the
police should see to it that every saloon is
closed or else let all be open. The saloons
that are termed respectable" will not re-
main closed while less deserving COM

to make the closing complete and uniform,
or even the suspicion that it is not, will
largely vitiate any good that may come of

saloon men, most of whom will be as
willing to rest on Sunday as other people

A G0LDITE'S IDEA.

Says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette:
''Were dollars worth of silver put into
the silver dollar the effort OF The silver
kings and silver spectators for free coin
age would suddenly cease.n The average
opponent of silver as money has no higher
conception of the subject than IS conveyed
in the above. II the Gazette mans ideas
were carried ont, it should be made TO go
further and include in our coinage system
not only gold and silver, but copper, iron,
zinc, tin and every other metal, the super
lntendent Of the mint being careful to put
dollars worth of the particular metal
employed into the coin. An iron dollar
would be somewhat cumbersome, it is true,
but il would be an ''honest dollar'' in the
esteem of the Cincinnati editor, whose opin-
ion of money is that the token should pos
sess the intrinsic value of the sum stamped
on its face. And why not carry this idea
still further, and make our greenback dol
lar contain a dollars worth of green silk
fibre paper? What kind of o dollar would
it be that the Gazette proposesa To- days
dollar would be short weight, and to make
it of full value the owner would have to
take il TO the siiyersmith's and have piece
welded on. Tomorrow a few spectators
might get control of the silverin the mar
ket and run the price up until the silver in
a dollar coined last week would be worth
more than one hundred cents, when the
holder would chisel off bit to bring the
piece down to the proper weight Think
of the variety Of dollars the past year
would have produced, the weight of no two
coined in consecutive weeks being alike

friendly reception, provided the details
shall be satisfactory He advocates the
establishment of system of postal savings
banks, especially at places where there are
not sufficient state savings institutions.
One Of the arguments he employs is con-
tanned in the follwing extract from his re-
port:
To teach economy and thrift as leading up to
better citizenship falls short if there is no ade
quate provision for the safe keeping of savings.
Such PAGES ought to be within an hours walk
OF the home OF every workingman. They can
not be left to private capitalists to provide.
because it would notpay them to deal in small
sums or perform the necessary labor. The post
offices and the postmasters are in every respect
rightly situated to do this work. 1t would be a
great comfort to the people to have these banks
that could not be affected in times of financial
panic.
Many of the leading nations of the world
have postal savings banks, and we believe
that they everywhere work admirably
This is certa inly true of Great Britain,
where there are more than eight million
depositors, and the deposits aggregate a
hundred million dollars. The laboring
people want place where they can invest
their small savings and know that the
money when they want it, regardless of
panics or runs on the banks.
But we cannot believe that the plan will
be success in this country, at least for
many years to come, and for this reason
Government can borrow all the money it
requires at 2 per cent. interest per annum
Two per cent. government bonds would to-
day fetch premium, especially if they
were long time bonds. Then, to pay
more than that would be bad
tinanciering and subject the Congress which
authorized it to some criticism. On the
other hand, savings banks pay from to
6 per cent interest, according to location
and the demand for money. In this city
the rate is 5 per cent. In New York it is
from to 4; in San Francisco it is 4; in
Washington state it is g.. And so it goes
everywhere the rate being higher than the
government, which has no real use for the
money, the income being greater than the
expenditures, could pay. How much money
would the working people of Salt Lake
or any city or town in Utah
deposit in a postal savings bank
which paid 2 or per cent interest per
annum, when they could get double the
interest in a private savings bank, or three
or four times the interest by loaning to in
dividuals. The absolute safety which the
government bank would afford might in
duce the individual to deposit there at {
lower rate of interest, but not at a rate less
than half Of what could be obtained else
where.
The postal savings bank will yet, we be
lieve, become popular in this country, a:
elsewhere, and will prove great benefit tx
the laboring classes; but it will not be unit
the nation is older and the use of money i:
worth less than at present.

1t is now called the American sugar rein

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postmaster General WANAMAKER has
been cranky in his determined advocacy of

the schemd were practical, it would not be
legitimate, and its adoption would be
fraught with evil rather than good. ANY
thing which tends to increase the power at
the polls of the administration will be de-
terminedly fought by intelligent people
who have proper regard for the purity of
elections and believe in majority rule. The
postal telegraph would give the party in
power control of many thousands of votes.
