"In fourteen hundred and ninty-two. Columbus sailed the ocean blue." He discovered America on Friday at 2 o'clock in the morning—very early indeed.

In eighteen hundred and eighty-six we made another great discovery—

THE FRIDAY SALE

Since exploring it thoroughly, we find it better for those who would take advantage of it to come eatly also. Not so early as Columbus came on that day —2 o'clock in the morning—but just early enough.

On this day we set aside as many

The Medical society instructed the board of health last night to enforce the law when physicians fail to report con tagious diteases. Considerable negligence is alleged in this direction, and the board expresses a determination to carry out the strict letter of the law.

The fire department experienced con siderable trouble last night at the Forster fire, occasioned by bursting hose. The democratic council that has controlled the affairs of the city has been very shortsighted in preparing for fires. Considerable money has been expended in new buildings, but not one dollar, has been paid out for new hose. Fine buildings are very good when the city can afford them, but they do not convey water to put out a fire. The greater portion of the hose now in use is rotten and worthless and should have been replaced with new long ago.

Judge Holman's reasons for thinking well of the president are numerous. "We have not the least doubt," says the National Republican, "that the judge, during his recent trip to Indiana, heard any number of good things said of the president, for he was surrounded by the recipients of administration favors." He was pulled through by his army of office holders in spite of a vigorous opposition He has had over thirty persons, with salaries amounting to $50,000, appointed to office. "No wonder," says the New York Tribune, "that the great economist begins to recognize that this is 'a popular and wise administration,' and that 'Cleveland will be renominated.'"

At the Chautauqua assembly, held at Chautauqua, N. Y., Prof. S. W. Coy, of Cincinnati, read a paper on "National Illiteracy." He showed by statistics that at the last presidential election in the late slave-holding states, excepting Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, out of 2,314,372 voters, fully two-fifths were illiterate. In some of the southern states the number of illiterate voters exceeded the whole vote cast. In six states the number of illiterate voters outnumbered the whole^ vote cast by either political party. In Polk county, Tennessee, in a district having no colored voters and 100 white voters, only twenty could read their ballots. In the same district, out of 102 children of Bchool age, only twelve could write. mmmmmm—mi—

The tarifl address, adopted by the Pennsylvania republican convention, shows that the democratic party for the last fifty years has legislated against the interests of the American people. The Morrill tariff act was passed by a republican congress in 1861, "and we have had twenty years of uninterupted protection to American labor." According to the address, the total value of property in the United States in 1861 was $14,000,000 in 1880, $44,000,000, an increase of $30,000,000, or more than double the property accumulated from 1807 to 1860Against this wall of facts let the democratic Iree-traders hurl their opinions. The people are not quite ready to abolish the medium that is fast making the nation rich and powerful.

The president signed the Fitz-John Porter bill yesterday. The ablest lawyers in the country maintain that congress has no constitutional authority to create a grade in the army, and at the same time make the appointment, It

was on this ground that President Arthur vetoed the bill. The grades of lieutenant general and general were created for Grant, but his was not named in the bill. But the democratic congress, made up largely of ex-confederates, was determined to fully reward Porter for his treachery. "A friend in need Is a friend indeed," and the southerners owed Porter a debt of gratitude. On the same day the bill passed restoring Porter to his old rank the president vetoed the bill granting a pension to the widow of Major General Hunter. Hunter was president of the first court martial that tried and found Fitz-John Porter guilty of treason.

The difficulty experienced in securing a jury to try the Chicago anarchists has caused the Chicago Tribune to appeal for reform in the jury system. It is a notorious fact that men who are capable of trying a case, when summoned to do jury duty, drum up some excuse and are re leased, and the jury is packed with loafers and ignoramuses. Th6 service has been debased in public estimation, and shunned by the very class of men that ought to serve. Occasionally an intelligent jury is found, but such instances are rare. In arguing this question the Tribune says: "To put the selection of juries in the hands of local political boards is demoralizing and corrupting. County commissioners always have enemies to punish and friends to reward they are frequently disposed to curry favor with the criminal class, and often eager to pack juries to screen their own misconduct. Under the most favorable circumstances local partisan boards will use their power in selecting jurors to reward their favorites and furnish employment for many persons unfit to serve."

The house yesterday refused to pass the Des Moines river land bill over the presi dent's veto. The issue is between 2,000 Iowa farmers and a syndicate of New York land-sharks. At the time the settlers took up their claims along the Des Moines river it was supposed that the grant made to a navigation company extended to a certain point, and all land above that was open to entry. The •eecre tary of the interior so decided, and his opinion was upheld by the supreme court. But unfortunately the lands entered by the settles had been erroneously patented to the company,«and some years later congress passed a resolution ratifying and confirming the transfer to the navigation company. The farmers have since been considered as interlopers. To correct this wrong and give the settlers an opportunity to contest with the "navigation company," were the objects of the bill vetoed by the president, and in which the "reform" democratic congress has coincided. A greater portion of the land has been farmed for twenty-five and thirty years, and represents thousand of acres of the beat farming lands in Iowa.

The Soil's Capacity for Production. Edward Atkinson, the writer on political economy, had a contribution in Bradstreet's of last Saturday. He calls attention to the fact that the American lands comprise an area of 3,000,000 square miles, omitting Alaska, and shows briefly what portion of the land is employed in the production of the public crops. He writes:

Our average crop of Indian corn ranges from 1,800,000,000 toJ2,000,000,000 bushels. At twenty-five to thirty bushels to the acre the area of the cornfiel.l is only 112,500 square miles, or less than 4 per cent, of the total area of the country. Our customary average is less than thirty bushels, but on the best lands fifty bushe's are commonly produced, and often 100. Corn may be reduced to pork at the rate of about one bushel to ten pounds, including waste.

About 60,000 square miles are all that are required or are now under cultivation in wheat. At only thirteen bushels to the acre this little patch, constituting but 2 per cent of our total area, would yield 500,000,000 bushels of.wheat This quantity, after setting aside enough for seed, would supply 80,000,000 people with their customafy average of one barrel of flour per year.

A hay crop of 40,000,000 tons, at the average, 1| tons per acre, calls for less than 2 per cent, or 50,000 square miles.

The oats crop of between 500,000,000 and 600,000,000 bushels, at thirty bushels to the acre, calls for 1 per cent, or 30,000 square miles.

While the cotton crop has never reached 20,000 square miles, or two thirds of 1 per cent, of the entire area of the country (less than per cent, of the area of the strictly cotton states), yet on this little patch, on the beggarly crop of one-half to three-fifths of a bale to th» acre, 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 bales can be made each year.

Lastly, all our miscellaneous crops of barley, hay, potatoes and other roots, of rice, sugar, tobacco, hemp, and garden vegetables, are raised on 1 per cent of our area, or 30,000 square miles.

It is perfectly safe to affirm, he adds, that were a reasonably skillful mode of agriculture generally applied to these crops the area now under cultivation would yield all that could be required by double the present population of the United States and would yet leave over as much as we now export

Gold Going to Germany.

Chicago Tribune. The sudden development of a brisk export movement of gold from this country has called out a good deal of remark in financial circles, both here and at the east. The amount ordered out within the last ten days is very little short of $10,000,000. It has previously been stated that most of it is going to Germany, as indicated by the difference in the rates of exchange with the three leading countries of western Europe. It is now said that the reason for the movement is to be found in the fact that Russia is about to float a loan in Germany and that the banks there are fortifying themselves accordingly. But this may mean something else. Some will be inclined to ask what Bussia wants to do with the money if it be not intended for use in war or preparations therefor.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

Philadelphia North American: Anarchist Parsons is credited with having thrown the police off the scent by washing himself.

Chicago Jurnal: One of the needed reforms in the jury system is to permit men capable of forming an opinion to serve as jurors.

^.33J

Omaha Wotld: Pleasure and recreation will bring almost as much money to Omaha as business. Sam Jones for this reason, should be secured.

St. Louis Republican: The democratic party will renominate Mr. Cleveland it he demonstrates that he is an honest and Capable offensively partisan democrat.

Cincinnati Times-Star: No sort of doubt remains that the president is remarkably industrious. But his efforts might be directed with better judgment, in some respects.

Philadelphia Press: The Randall bill will not suit the free traders any better than the Morrison bill suited the_ protectionists. It is time the whole tariff controversy were dropped by congress before congress is dropped by the country.

Kansas City Times: Labor has a battle to fight which requires the virtues of selfrestraint and exact observance of existing laws. It cannot afford to court the hostility of conservative classes by unwarranted encroachments on property.

Springfield (Mass.) Union: While President Cleveland is vetoing by the score bills giving pensions to union soldiers the democratic congressmen are considering a bill for the payment of a part of the rebel debt Is that the regular democratic programme

Globe Democrat: The report of the Republican members of the Pan Electric Telepeone committee puts Mr. Garland before the country in a badly battered condition but then he was already so much disfigured in the case that these additional bruises will not make any particular difference.

Detroit Tribune: Congress will do well to waste no time whatever with this bill of Mr. Randall's. It need not have even the formality of examination Whatever revision of the tariff may in time be proper, the time for this work is not now. Tariff tinkereis, who are bent on plying their vocation this year, are simply mischief-makers.

Commercial Gazette: A number of congressmen allege that they can not afford to stay at the national capital, but there is a plenty of other men willing to sacrifice their private interests on the altar of the country, and tH government at Washington will still live. Indeed, there are men who would serve iu congress without salary and skirmisli for the emoluments.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: As a matter of sober, practical truth, the veto power is being abused for the gratification of a cheap form of official vanity and with a view to making political cap ital for the next election. Tke constitution does not warrant a president in pre venting legislation for the narrow and trivial reasons which Mr. Cleveland presents in his numerous messages.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: The time may come when our southern mineral states shall be able to compete on equal terms with the ore, iron, and steel productions of other countries, and when «ur sugar planters may be in a position to do without protection. Until that happy day, however, the prevailing idea among the people seems to be to give all home inte eats all the protection needed to make their prosperity and extension reasonably sure.

Washington Post: Perhaps'the average man would condemn newspapers a little less if be would stop and think a little more. Where would Ward, Fish, Buddensick, JohannMost, Tweed, and Jaeh'ne be to-day if there were no newspapers Who brought the fourteen aldermen of New York and the anarchists of Chicago to the prisoners' dock Who have written the doom of Jacob Sharp? Who is it that Yerkes is cursing for interfering with his job? We are not giving to boasting, but who is it?

Diplomats as Bruisers.

New York Tribune. Another of Mr. Bayard's reputable foreign emissaries has been making ar indecent exhibition of himself—this time at Bogota. According to private dispatches just received, all Columbia has been shocked by a disgraceful slugging match between Mr. acob, the dis tinguiBhed democrat selected to protect the interests of this republic at Bogota, and Dr. King, the new consul-general and secretary of legation.

Full details of this creditable escapade have not yet come to hand, and the origin of the affair must consequently remain a mystery until the arrival of Dr. King's next consular report. It is known, however, that Mr. Jacob was the aggressor. Go-as-you-please tactics were employed. Gloves were not used. Mr. Jacob, we are credibly informed, led off with a smashing right-hander, which took Dr. King by surprise and somewhat staggered him but he promptly pulled himself together and, in the vernacular of the fancy, countered, amid the wild plaudits of an admiring crowd of street arabs, eager to behold a duly accredited minister of these United States with his claret tapped or his head in chancery. The illustrious combatant, it is said, came up puffing and looking rather groggy, but he gamely toed the scratch and proceeded to annihilate the refractory consul. King's blood was up, however, and in the next round he banged his opponent all over the ring. Then the belligerents clinched, and the astonished rabble saw minister and consul-general whirling confusedly in a cloud of dust. For a few moments the excitement was intense. Bels were freely exchanged, the consulgeneral being the favorite, as it was seen he knew how to handle his dukes and it soon became evident that the minister had caught a Tartar. The consul -general broke away, and the minister went at him with a well-aimed sockdologer but the consul, adroitly ducking, dealt the minister a punisher on the potato-trap that effectually finished him and sent him breathless 'into a corner. When time was called the minister failed to respond and a shout of triumph went up from the admiring spectators, who surrounded the victor and led him away and generously pumped on him. It was felt that another step in civilization had been made. The code duello had been superseded, and henceforth heelers and blatherskites on the banks of the Magdalena, abandoning knife and pistol, will follow this miserable precedent and settle disputes with the bottle and sponge and the twenty-four foot ring. After the battle Mr. Jacob limped to the telegraph offioe and called to Washington, "King is a traitor dismiss him and while Mr. Bayard was gnashing his teeth over this disturbing intelligence, he received a second dinpatch, couched in equally terse and unmistakable terms, "Jacob is crazy call him home."

Unhappy Mr. Bayard! With Hanna inviting his friends to come out and fleece the Argentines Winston prancing before the shah in his tinsel and spurs and degrading his high office to the fostering of crack-brained railroad scheme Hubbard and Buck deadheading

their way to Japan and Peril the penurious Childs parading liis niggardliness before all Siam Keiley turned from the gates of Italy and Austria, the secretary of state must feel keenly sensible of -his flagrant maladmin istration. These are more than chances and unless civil service reform is to be something more than a name and notorious incapability to gauge scamps is to disqualify for the appointing power, shameless street brawlers such as Jacob and King will continue to find themselves in office, and scandalous scenes, like that at Bogota will often be enacted.

Arnold, of Columbus, read her contribution, "A Story in Three Decades," and Mrs. Leon Bailey discoursed "Celebrated Singers" in a very interesting manner. Mr. B. S.

"Alabamy," by Miss Jennie L. Judson, of Paris, 111., was read. A resolution was adopted asking the city librarian here to establish an alcove, for books that might be published in the association, and to also have a scrap book to preserve printed selections.

Peculiar Verdict of a Negro Jury. Atlanta Constitution. Colonel Alfred Aldrich, of Barnwell, S. C., tells a good one illustrative of the sudden ascendency to power of the negro in that state during the days of reconstruction.

A prominent farmer of Beaufort district had conclusive evidence that one of his negro tenants was stealing largely from him. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the negro, and his case was brought to trial before a newly appointed negro justice of the peace, who sum moned a jury of his own color to pass judgment on the trial. The trial was a brief one, and the evidence was so overwhelming and conclusive against the defendant that the justice sent the jury out with the statement that the case was so plain that it was not necessary for him to charge them as to their duty.

After a few minutes' consultation the jury returned and the foreman announced that they had agreed.

What is your verdic'?" "We find Mr. guilty." The announcement was a shock to the room, as Mr. was the plaintiff. "You fools," exclaimed the indignant justice, "go back and bring in a verdic' 'greeable wid de fac's.''

The astonished jury withdrew, and in in a few minutes again returned with smiling countenances. "Well, is you ready?" asked the mahogany- hued "judze." "Yessir we fin' Mr. not guilty, but guilty of accusin'."

He Pleases the Ladies-

Washington Critio. Nearly all the women smile a£ soon aa they touch the president's hand, while the men assume a more tenons mien after nrdergoing this ordeal.

John Bright: The powers of monarchs are lessening, and the iniluence of the aristocracy is fading away, while the power of the people is increasing.
