Old CapnOpS.

Two of the cannon which, it is be- lieved, were at one time mounted on board Christopher Columbus flag ship were received recently at Chicago. The cannon are of the ancient and clumsy pattern of such guns out in the if teenth century. Nothing but the body of the guns remains, the woodwork of course having routed away centuries ago. The guns themselves are almost worn to pieces and not much more than huge chunks of rust. Indeed the cannon are put on the scrap ironn list in the custom house papers. These historic old pieces have been secured for exhibition at the worlds fair. One of the naval officers who were detailed for work in connection with the Co- lumbian exposition found the relics at one of West Indian island. Tradi- tlon and substantial proof showed that the cannon had been used in a fort erected by Columbus son and that they were brought from Spain with Columbus fleet. The ruins of the fort are still to be seen.-Ex.

Licensing Engineers.

The question of licensing engineers is being so agitated in every state in the union that within a short time, for the protection human lives, it will be impossible for any one intrusted with steam to hold or secure situation without passing a rigid examination and obtaining license. Stephenson s Illustrated Practical Test has been published to aid engineers preparing to pass such examination; and as it embraces all questions asked on the Boiler, Pump. Engine, Dynamo, Cor liSs Engine, etc, it has already met with such demand that it is now in it's fourth edition. This work, which only costs one dollar, can be obtained of the publisher, Walter G. Kraft, 70 La Sale street, Chicago.

A "Democratlc Force BIii."

'
 Memphis Commercial.
 An East Tennessee republican writ ing to the New York Tribune charges that 10000 republicans in this state have been disfranchIsed by democrat ic force bills" It is thus that he chooses to describe the Dortch law, which is the Australian ballot system, the registration law and the poll tax law. If these laws have disfranchised republicans it is because the intelli- gence of the average republican voter will not respond to any greater demand than is involved in taking ticket out of the hands of a white boss and hand ing it through window as directed. A monkey could do the same with just as intelligent conception of the mean ing of his act. It is quite likely that these laws hayed operated against the republicans just as all laws for secur- ing an honest ballot will do. Our pe- nal institutions and laws making men infamous for certain crimes have also operated to keep many good republi- cans" from the polls; indeed, if every chicken thief in the state were dis franchised the Republican party would never be heard of outside of East Ten nessee. But must we revise our penal laws with vIew to increasing the republican voter That is the logic of the argument. Our republican friends would doubtless consider the whole criminal code force bill.

Look Out for Redheads.


 "I was one of the party of eight once held up by lone highwayman, said F. J. Marlin a bridge contractor to a man. II was travel ing by stage in Montana. The party consisted of two army officers, spec tator, four miners and myself. The stage had been held up pretty frequent ly, so we all went fixed for trouble. Every man had brace of slxshooters and We were just aching to have the talked that way. We commented to the demands of the freebooters warm time if they tackled us. One man had little to say. He was the speculator, a red-headed man with a squint. Finally one of the army of iicers ask him what he would do if the robbers attacked us, and he replied that he did not know.
 "As we swung around sharp bend in the road the stage pulled up with a jerk, the driver threw up his hands, almost before we knew it we were looking into the barrel of Wincbes- ter. We'll, sir, that lone robber marched us out and stood us up in line with our hands above our heads. Then he threw each man small sack and made him pull it over his head. We all com piled but one. The red-headed specu- lator pulled his gun and shot the ban dit so full of holes that he died before he could touch the ground. Then he climbed up, knocked the driver off the box and drove the stage into next sta tion with the most crestfallen lot of braggartS aboard that ever wore a gun and neglected to use it."-Ex.

The Furness Of Ignorance.

Little Rock Gazette.
 Prof. Carnahau continues to adver- tise the fullness of his transformation by charging the democracy with re- sponsibility for the continued exist ence of the national banking system. This is based on the fact which somehow found it's way into his mind for brief period that both the senate and the house were democratic. If Prof. Car. nahan possessed even ordinary knowl- edge on this subject he would know tlat at no time since the national banking system was organized have the democrats been able to enact into law any measure opposed by the re- publicans. When they had congress the two-thirds vote necessary to Over- ride veto was lacking, and a demo- cratic president and congress have not existed at the same time siuce before Abraham Lincoln's day.
 It is the duty of public speakers to instruct their audiences, not to miSlead them with false information. But what would be reprehensible in this regard in Col. Fishback is exeusable in Prof. Carnahan, who Is probably the most profoundly ignorant man on public affairs who ever faced the peo- pie in quest of public office.

Twenty Millions Church Coers In
 tne United States.


 Charles s. Buell.. chief of the sixth division of the United States census, was in the city yesterday locking mp delipaueut churches whose statistics are either incomplete or unsatisfac- tory.
 Some important figures were given the Pittsburg Dispach man by Chief Ruell at the Duquesne hotel, where the statistician was stopping. The offl- cial bulletin of the verified count or the church membership and church property has not not yet been pub fis,nd.5 said Mir. Buell., ''as 1t is not vet ready. The count is nearly com pieted, and I am now on my final trip for the purpose of searching out de- linquents. The church people are just as hard to get at for the census collector as any other people, and am obliged to go into many sections for personal investigation"
 A.How many church people are there h the United States?'
 Twenty millions of people in the country are communicants and 1,O0O,- QUO who are in religious bodies and yet are not commandments. The Catholic denomination heads the list with a membership of 9,250, 900 souls. The Nethodists, with eight brtnches or bodies, four of which are colored, fol- low with membership of 4,0O0, 900 in round numbers. Then comes the Bap- lists with 3,5O0.O00, inclusive of the colored people. The remaining l43 de- nominations are of varying strength in membership and wealth. There are thirteen Presbyterian bodies with a membership of ,25S,9l5. The Episco- palians are somewhere in the neighbor- hood of GOO 600, but as these figures are unofficial. 1 cannot give them as cor rect. The wealth of the different de- nominations varies according to the sect.
 "The Episcopalians are the weal'hi- est by far per capita, as they have property to the value of upward of S73, 900 .OOO. with their small, compara- lively speaking, membership. The Catholic denomination is worth $l87 0O0,O00 iH round numbers. The Metho- dist have S96 600 900 and the Presbyte. rans s95.O00.000. There arc 1900 dlf' ferent Baptist associations. Among all the United Presbyterian churches there was not one that had a debt on It.

Pathetic enough is the spectacle of Cyrus w. Field, in the delirlum of his dying hours, laying anew the Atlantic cable and struggling so hard that | was necessary to hold him in his bed when for a time he imagined the work was going on. Stop the boat Stop the boot the work is all wrong!n he cried. To him the dying man, seven ty-three years old, lying in his bed with anxious friends watching for the last faint breath did not exist. All had vanished, and Cyrus Field the strong, brave man in his confidence in the future of the Atlantic cable, that men like Peter Cooper and Marshall O.. Roberts placed their millions at his command, was again on the deck of the Great Eastern watching. the com pletion of the work that had been his dream for thirteen years. The ocean telegraph and the elevated street rail- way are the legacies Cyrus Field leaves to his country and to the world.
