simpIOn Tunnel.

There seems to be no doubt that the
tunneling Of the Simplon pass, over the
Alps into Italy, by the Swiss govern
ment, will be the next great engineer
ing project to be accomplished in Eu-
rope The new tunnel will be longer by
nearly four miles than the Mont GEMS
and st. Gothard, though in the opinion
of engineers the building Of it will be
less costly and not SO difficult, and the
work is likely to consume only six or
seven years. Already railway has been
carried to Brieg, at the foot OF the
Simplon pass, and thence, according to
the plan as laid out, the tunnel will
follow the windings Of the present road,
ending near the Italian border, but still
on Swiss territory. There the work Of
construction, it is expected, will be most
difficult, taxing largely the resources
Of engineering skill, now of course
much greater and more varied than
when the existing tunnels were built
In the case of former tunnels, as is we'll
known, compressed air was freely used
for driving power and now electricity
is to be added, electricity generated on
the spot by the abundant Swiss water
falls.-New York Sun.

LEAKS. |

The human being is much like any
piece of mechanism. If it gets worn
too much in one place the whole Of the
machine is quite likely to be rendered
useless. But in one respect we differ
somewhat In the machine it is often
the fault of the maker; in the human
being it is almost always the fault of
the man himself. If you discover that
waste occurs in your vitality then you
must at once have that leakage stop
ped. If your strength is being sap
ped you will find that the days tend
to make matters worse rather than
better. If you but take time by the
fcrelock all your miserable condition
can be altered, and you will ind that
you are in all things as good man
as you were before the leakage COM
menced. How this is done is told be-

to be made an American citizen the

Would you be willing to take your

Yes sir, replied the brawny High

my services Were needed"

Stefan Baumann, the besotted crea-

Der, was held to answer, recently re-
leased because of the invalidity Of the
Police Court commitment, and rear
rested, was again examined before JUS
tice Henry yesterday and for the second
time was held to answer before the
Superior Court.
The testimony was practically the
same as that given at the former pre-
liminary examination. There were no
witnesses to the tragedy, and Baumann
has claimed that during a quarrel his
wife got his pistol and shot him in the
jaw, after which he shot her. He is

A San Francisco paper of yesterday
states that on Monday Judge De Ha-
ven of the United States Circuit Court
decided that the Western Electric
Company was entitled to an injunction
restraining the Capital Telephone and
Telegraph Company from the use IF
the Perrin multiple switchboard. The
court also ordered an accounting.
The switchboard referred to was in
vented by Thomas J. Perrin and was
patented in April, 1885 The court
found that Leroy B. Firman had re-
dueed his invention of a multiple
switchboard to practice early in 1879.
and several months earlier than the
other patent.
Manager Dillman of the Capital Com
pany states that the switchboard is

Cold

and common carelessness can make a
combination strong enough to defy
all the healing skill of the physician.
Common carelessness lets the cold
root and grow. Common carelessness
says, between paroxysms of cough
ing, "It will be all right in a day or
two" and the common end is con-
frmed lung trouble, perhaps con-
sumption. The common-sense treat
ment of a common cold is prompt
dose of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t
is the most efficient and reliable cure
for colds and coughs, and is con-
stantly prescribed by physicians.

it reliable for the cure of colds, coughs, and

GOVERNMENT AND BANKS.

The bank examiner Of the State OF
Name can attention Of his people to the
fact that the establishment of the postal
savings system would be a serious blow
to the savings banks of Maine and would
deprive that State Of a large revenue. He
says that there are nrty-one savings
banks in Maine and that during the past
twenty-five years these institutions have
paid into the State treasury nearly $1,000
600 in taxes, an average Of about $4,000
a year.
Taking these facts and figures as a
basis the bank examiner argues that the
national government. If it should establish
the postal savings system, would i'm so
doing interfere with the inherent rights
OF the States and the municipalities. be-
cause the depositors in government banks
would be exempt from taxation.
The bank examiner Of Maine is clearly
right The government has certainly no
right to interfere with the private bust
ness of banking concerns. or to deprive
the several States Of the revenues which
they receive from banking Institutions.
But If the bank examiner Of Maine IS
right and we say that he is. what bust
ness has the government to interfere with
the state banking institutions other than
savings banks? What right has the gov
eminent TO say that national banks shall
issue notes and that State banks shall
not?
we say that the government should so
out Of the banking business altogether
and let the banking business take care
OF itself. Remove tine restrictions and let
state banks issue their notes, subject
only 20 such restrictions as the individual
states may determine 10 impose.
Gentlemen talk of national savings
banks as great blessings 10 the people
we say that the greatest boon that the
government could confer upon the people
of this country would be TO quit the bank
ing business altogether and remove all
government restrictions.
