An Ingenious Idea for a Blacklist.
From the Chicago Tribune


Omaha, Sept. 1O.-Nebraska railway
employees are much excited tonight over
the discovery of what they believe is
secret blacklist growing out Of the late
strike. II is not worked on the plans of
the ordinary blacklist, which is sim
plicity itself, but goes by code Of
signals. Since the strike, when man
wants a position in the service Of one
railroad he has to bring clearance"
from the last road which employed him
to show the cause of his leaving. The
Union Pacific. in common with other
roads, has a blank form for this purpose.
A few days ago a man who had had
somewhat stormy career with the road
asked for and received clearance" de-
string to quit the service. He expected
only a meager statement of satisfactory
service, and was surprised to find he had
been given complimentary mention.
CHANGING to Ehold the paper up TO
the light he observed the "sandhill
crane which was the watermark, had
his head cut squarely of.
Shortly afterward a friend who had
likewise quit the service Of the same road
CHANGED TO show his clearance, and al
though the language was identical the
crane in this instance lay at a different
position. Investigation of half dozen
letters disclosed the fact that they diff
fered materially in the posture OF the
bird. although one other man who
had been discharged had beheaded
crane in his clearance. Others had the
cranes head between his legs, Others at
one side. more were sitting. Since then
some dozen or more "clearances" have
been examined, and in cases Of discharge
Inc crane is very neatly beheaded. though
the language OF the clearance may be
somewhat complimentary.
The man who made the discovery is sat
isfied this is a secret way Of publishing
the fact that the bearer is OF certain char

ELECTRICITY From conl.

The great problem of obtaining cleo
tricity direct from coal, which has occu-
pied the attention of electricians recently,
is to be attacked by Mr. Edison, who has
thus far delayed merely to finish his
machine for extracting magnetic iron,
says the Hartford Courant This is now
nearly or quite completed. Meantime,
others engaged in the same problem have
made arrangements for an experimental

Thus George w. Vanderbilt has in ad-
dition to literary inclination the zest of
sportsman as the set of tiles here
shown will reveal. They have been or
dered for the great hall fireplace, and APP
propriately enough typify the nymph of
the chase with her dogs and her f1ocks, for
she despises not even the arts of the hus-
tandman. The hunter on the left hand
and the girl on the right, bringing forth
the hOspitable measure, are as indica-
tive of Biltomore as tiles can be. The
large design is in eight pieces and the
smaller one in four.
The rather personal tastes of Cornelius
Vanderbilt are denoted by the portraits
in tile which adorn his new Fifth avenue
palace in New York. The thing is highly
elaborate in the smoking room, too, in
laid with cement and strikingly colored
in yellow, orange, pale pink and blue
The designs are partly in mosaic. The
historical portraits and the quaint ex-
pressions of the faces have attracted
much attention. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Vanderbilt to introduce still another
design into the house as time goes on.
He is a recognized authority on interior
decorations and has determined to pre-
pare his own designs for tiles in the fu-
ture.
Gearge M. Pullman's honse in Chicago
is to be fitted up anew before very long.
The milllonaire's family are always in
Producing new beauties into their home,
and the tiles are apt to change with the
rest. At present the palace is the ad-
miration of all who see it on account OF
the beauties in multi-colored designs
which adorn the walls and mantels.
Mr.. Pullman has classic ideas chiefly.
The passion for tiles has resulted in the
appearance of many new designs. These
are usually prepared at the instance of
the rich men, and women who seem never

voted exclusively to the study of this sub
ject. The problem has a double fascina-
tion. If solved it will prevent a waste OF
energy which has always been the des-
pair Of engineers, and it will lay the basis
of colossal fortunes. 1t would probably
be the most important discovery of this
generation, which has been prolific OF
great discoveries Honor and practically
unlimited wealth await the man who &C
composites the work, and there is
rather general feeling among scientific
men that we may be very near the solu-
ton of the puzzle.
When 1t comes electricity will be the
cheapest power in the world; the steam
engine will fall to the second place, If,
indeed, it is not wholly superseded. A
complete industrial revolution will follow
close on the heels of the discovery which
many are seeking. AS to Mr.. Edison he
is said to have given time 20 the subject
already, and TO have views that can be
speedily worked out, applied and tested.
There is no doubt that he will add to the
knowledge Of the subject; no one can ven
ture to say whether he will accomplish his
full purpose. He does not often fail, but
even he may be unable to crack this nut
Very likely after all, the thing will come
gradually, beginning with the devices
which are imperfect or excessively costly

before the real end is reached. But, on
the other hand, we are accustomed TO
surprises in electrical progress. Some Of
the keenest minds in the scientific world
are employed necessarily in this fascinat-
ing field Of inquiry; discovery succeeds

than the latest things in the shape of a
hat. Yet tiles, those eucaustic, vitreous
squares, in blue, green and yellow, which
adOrn floors, walls and fire-places, gotten
up regardless of expense, have come to
be very fashionable things. Small for

millionaire in tiling his rooms and the de-

The dissensions of the democratic par
ty and the antiquities Of the admin

controversy between the two houses OF
congress. and the combination of incon-
sIstencies that elected Cleveland will be
exposed. There Is room for doubt
whether the discipline of the democracy
can be strong enough to overcome these
conditions, and there is an opening for
expectation that there will be failure
of the tariff reformers by profession to
formulate their entangled views in a
bill and make a law of it. That is to
say, the tariff as 1t stands may be pre-
served. This congress will be at an end
next March, and the people will say in
November what the next congress is to
be. The democratic situation has been
changing for the worse without inter-
mission for year. and 1t is only the
logic of the situation for the party to
become within another year an officially
confessed total failure.

The Willapa Independent pays the
following deserved tribute to Mayor
Egbert, of South Bend: Marion D.
Egbert, OF South Bend, has been spoken
Of as our next United States senator. He
is a man OF strong personality, broad
and comprehensive with good knowl-
edge of our state, its resources and It's
needs, and should he receive the nomin-
alton and be elected, he would make the
state a good public official. Stranger
things have happened than that he
should be the man, for he Is known
from all points Of the compass in Wash
ington, and with his strong personal
following east OF the mountains. M. d.
Eghert will make a hard run II he en-
ters the race. Here's to you, Egbert,
anyway" The Independents indorse-
ment of Mr. Egbert is simple justice to
a. man whose Observation-Disclosures and
healthy interest in the affairs of his
state are well known from one end of
Washington to the other. To know Mr.,
Egbert is to respect him. OF undoubted
ability. and ever ready to uphold the
right, he is a man who will, If elected
to the high position for which his name
has been mentioned. reflect credit on
both the party to which he belongs and
on himself.
