WHAT ELECTRICITY is DOING.

The Mining and Scientific Press sums
up the uses to which electricity is ap-
piled in an interesting way. 1t enters
into the preparation of what we eat,
drink and wear, and there are many
articles of utility now procured by it's
aid. The residents of many cities in
the United States have their houses
protected, lighted and heated by it.
They go to their places of business in
cars run by electricity, the elevator
by which they reach their office in
high buildings, or the machinery in
their factory, is run by electricity.
Electricity brings the news to them
from all parts of the earth; stamps
their letters, automatically sounds
the alarm in case of fire, rings the
door bell, cooks the food and fans
him while eating it. When they go
to the dentist their teeth are drilled
and filed by electricity, and miniature
electric lamps are now constructed
for the use of doctors in diagnosing
diseases. The patient swallows light
ed lamp, which Eliminates his person
so as to enable the physician to make
a correct diagnosis. The barber cuts
or singes the hair by means of cleo
tricity, the streets are lighted and the
farm cultivated by it. By means Of
it we can talk with our friends 500 or
1000 miles away, and hear their voices
as distinctly as though they were IN
the same room. The telephone is
in more general use in this country
than electric lighting. Even in small
towns telephones form part of many
private houses, and are used to
transmit orders to the butcher, baker,
etc. There are now some 85 electric
railways in the United States and
5000 miles of track employing $4,000
cars. With the aid of electricity
natural forces which have heretofore
run to waste are being turned to the
service of mankind. And still the
practical application of electricity
has only begun.

Our laws are better than their adj
ministration. The ringing question
Of the day is not the temperance ques-
ton, nor the social purity question,
nor the currency question. 1t is the
enforcement of the law. There seems
to be an epidemic of law breaking in
the land, and the Congress of the
United States sets the example. What
can you expect when our highest
court despises the sabbath and keeps
a bar in the very Capitol of the ma
ton? God be thanked for the rising
spirit of protest in the country, and
for a man now and then standing out
in New York, or Texas, or Indiana, i'm
a police board or a Governors chair
or even in the pulpit, who will speak
out and who is not afraid to insist that
the law shall be honored.

THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

A Russian has been arrested in New
York. and his return to Russia under
the lately concluded extradition
treaty ordered, the charge against
him being horse stealing. He insists
that this is not the real offence for
which the Russian authorities seek
him. but is merely an excuse, because
the treaty does not allow extradition
for political offences, and if they get
him back in Russia they will try him
for political offence. 1t is believed
by some persons, probably the United
States commissioner himself, that the
political offence in this case was COM
plicity in an attempt on the life of the
Gar. But, if so, isn't that any more
than a political offence? Is it murder
to kill a private citizen and only
misdemeanor to kill a ruler?
If this plea is entertained, every
thief arrested under this treaty will
magnify himself into a traitor and
claim exemption. If we cannot trust
the good faith of Russia to be honest
in any such case, we ought not to en-
ter into any treaties with her. More
over, it is easy to learn what may be
done with this man after surrender,
and if his fears are realized, we can
demand his surrender on penalty of
severing all relations with nation
capable of such duplicity. And if she
is capable of it, we should know it as
early as possible.

The story is afloat again that Queen
Victoria has lately shown indications
of unbalanced intellect, this time
over the death of some relative of
that John Brown, once made famous
by her regard. She has been one of
the remarkable women of her day.
and one of the most estimabIe. but if
the sovereign of Great Britain now
occupied as important a relation to-
ward the kingdom as was the case
less than a century ago, she would
long since have been courteously
compelled to abdicate. Even as it is.
if her son, who would succeed her on
the throne, had shown any of the
tastes, the predictions, or the abili-
ties of statesman, probably the same
thing would have happened. But
Englishmen rather dread the change.
1t will be a critical period for the
monarchy, if king with "a mind of
his OWN and "disposed to do his own
thinking" comes to the throne. It is
high time, though, for the old queen
to step aside.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
TsPEJIAL CORES poN DENcE OF THE MONITOR.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1895.

Washington, Oct. %, 1895.
The Republican National Conven-
ton will not be held earlier than the
tenth of next June. That was made
certain when Chairman Carter of the
national committee issued his call for
the committee to assemble in Wash
ington on the tenth of December to
select the time and place for holding
the National Convention. From the
talk of National Committee men and
other prominent republicans who
have been in Washington within the
last three or four days, the honor of
being the Convention city next year
lies between Chicago and Pittsburgh
with the chances slightly favoring
the former. San Francisco has some
earnest friends on the committee, out
should they succeed in getting the
convention held there it would sur
prise a great many people, themselves
among the number.
Ex-Congressman Brady, of Virginia
who was for many years an able lieu
tenant of the late Gen. Malone, says
that Mr.. Reed is the present favorite
of the Virginia republicans for the
presidential nomination, but he will
not undertake to say what the senti-
ment will be when the time comes for
selecting delegates to the nominating
convention. Speaking of how the
South will vote next year, Mr.. Brady
said: 'sThe South is for protection.
The issue is sometimes obscured, and |
sometimes adroitly forced into the |
background by the democratic lead
ers, but when it is fully and vigorous
" presented to her, the South, as well
as the North, will vote for the further
building up of this country"
No man in this country knows bet
ter how to keep his own counsel than
does Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed,who
will be Speaker of the next House.
Although the meeting of Congress is
only little more than month off he
has kept his own counsel SO we'll that
the best informed political writer's
can do no more than guess the names
of those who will be Chairman of
such important House committees as
those on Ways and Means and APP
For the first Commit
tee the guessers are divided between
three men-Dalzel, of Penn, Payne,
of New York, and Hopkins of Ill.,
DalzeI having the largest number.
The guessers name Cannon, of III, and
of Iowa, as the two be-
tween whom lies the craftsmanship of ,

majority guessing Cannon, who was ,,
Chairman of that Committee when I
Mr.. Reed was last Speaker Of the
House; but those who guess Hender- !
son say he has the best chance be-
cause he has been continuously a
of the House, while Cannon ,
has missed one term since he was at ,
he head of the committee. But there ,
S one craftsmanship upon which all I
he guessers agree. That is Hit, of :

On Foreign Affairs. There are three ,
'easons for this agreement-e ach

Reed; his preeminent fitness by edu- ,
cation, temperament and experience, 9

nan of that committee.

Unless further pension legislation is
enacted, the commissioner thinks that
the appropriation of $40, 900, 900 will
be sufficient for the payment of pen
sions for the year ending June 80, 1896.
The commissioner says that aside
from disseminating illegal pensions.
the work of the board of revision has
been beneficial in discouraging the
filing of claims without merit
The commissioner commends the
work of the pension examiners in the
field, and says that the fact that this
force pervades the entire country and
is likely to discover any fraud that
may be attempted exercises constant
ly restraining influences upon dishon-
est claimants and attorneys
the report states that the act of
March 2, 1895, increasing the rate of
certain pensioners to Sc per month
made an increase of 81 800, 900 annual
ly in the payment of pensions, to
non residents after July 1, 1898, in
creased the payments during the last
four months Of the year 1895 about
1922, 900.
Over 100 dismissals of clerks were
made in the bureau during the year.
The commissioner thinks it would
be equitable and humane for Congress
to make some moderate provision to
aid the clerks disabled by long and
faithful corvi0o op1 who ooppOt nav
form their work and are discharged.

REPUBLICAN FOREIGN POLICY.

The conduct of our foreign affairs
under President Harrison, was, on
the whole admirable. Our attitude
toward Germany in the Samoan Incl
dent, and toward Chile later, raised
our standard high. We behaved in
each instance with great moderation,
but with entire firmness, and in each
our conduct was rewarded with ex-
cellent results. We preserved the
same attitude towards the great Eu-
ropean empire and the spitfire South
American republic. In the latter
case, indeed, it was only our timely
frmness that prevented the Chilians
forcing US into position which would
certainly have meant war. All of tnis
stands in striking contrast to the be-
havior of the present administration
towards Hawaii and Nicaragua, and
in the dispute between England and
Venezuela
The one failure OF President Har-
rison's administration was in the Ber-
ing Sea case, and this failure was due
to our over anxiety for a peaceful
settlement, andconseGuent readiness
to yield what we ought not to have
yielded. Had we taken the stand
which was advocated by the Secre
tary of the Navy, Mr.. Tracy, and
which had already been advocated by
Mr.. Phelps when minister to England
under President Cleveland, there
would have been no war, the seals
would now have been alive, and there
would have been no danger of the ex-
tinction of the greatest industry of
the Northern Pacific. We ought never
to have agreed to an arbitration; but
we did, and the present administra
ton has of course. made matters
worse. 1t is not page of American
upon which we can look
with pride, but it offers most whole
some lesson. 1t should teach us to
beware, beyond all others, Of the
peace at any price men. 1t should
teach us to be exceedingly cautious |
about entering into any arbitration.
Above all, it should teach us the les
son of courteous insistence on our
rights, at no matter what cost.

A new forage plant has been discov-
cred on an island in the Pacific, off the
Siberian coast. 1t is vouched for as a
plant that will grow in either wet or dry
land vouched by high authority, but the
marvellous part is that it produces from
80 to 200 tons per acre per annum. 1t
grows to a height of about fourteen feet
but is cut when about four feet high.
The pictures of it in the native country
show the cattle browsing among the
plants, the plants extending over their
heads seven, eight or ten feet. Those
most interested believe that it will grow
on all the arid lands in this country. Ii
that should prove to be true, there
would be no more American desert,
except here and there a little patch OF
alkali. We believe the Agricultural De-
partment sells the plants at So per hun
bred. They have to be set out 4 #. apart.
With a crop that would ammount to zoe
tons per acre, it seems as though the
only trouble would be to get ten acres Of
good land from which to raise the crop
and then get about twenty acres OF bad
land to stack it on after it was cut.
