THE new lines of hamotu cabs in Lon don are said to be almost perfect. Sev eral of them are owned hy tbe aristrc racy. Tho horses are of lino stock and tbe cabs are furnished with umbrella rack, mirror, reading lamp and every convenienco.

THE city election in Indianapolis takos place on next Tuesday. The cum pilgn has b3en a spirited one, the Repul licans taking the fidoof tlieonforcement of tho laws and increasing tbe tax on saloons from $52 to $100, while tbe Detn ocrats are on the side oi the liquor men The Rf»[tublicins are hopeful but recog nize tbe fact that tho saloon interest isa big thing to fi^ht in Indianapolis

THE results of statistics on tbe subject of human longevity are encouraging. They show that tho average of human life is lengthening, that of the male npv ing increased and of the female 8 per -cent, since 1870. That In to say, each 1,000 persona l0~n since 1870 will live about 2,700 years .longer than tbe same number did before that time. After all the depreciation of modern civilization therefore, it is dear that the race is not degenerating, but rather improving.

THE Prohibition meeting at Music Hall, Cincinnati, Inst Monday nigbt, was one to command attention. The great hall was crowded to its full capaci ty and tbe vast audience was in sympathy with he purpose of the meeting and the seutlmentM of the speakers. Such meetings as thin Hbovv the rapid advance of the temperance sentiment of tho country. A few years ago such a gathering, in numbers and the character of people composing it, would have been an impossibility.

THERE is a general rejoiciug throughout the country at tho vigorous action of the fedoral court in I'tah. Judge Zane is enforcing the iidmundi law without fear or favor and tho U. H. Marshal and bis assistants are equally firm and fearless. It is ovldont that tho Mormon iniquity is at last fairly under the heel of tho fedoral power and is writhing in dt'Hperation. As far as the published accounts indicate it would 8eem that noguiit polygamist has been allowed to escape, howevor high his standing among paintH.

CINCINNATI WfcVcli5:I&' COIF/nit tee of one hundred, organized for tho purpose ot securing a fair and honest elec tion. The committee is not a mere figure-head either, but means business and Is earnestly at work to accomplish its purpose. The oinmittoo is composed of prominent and active men ol both parties, who appreciate the importanco of the work and will leave nothing undone that can add to tbe effectiveness of its work. .With the new registry law aud the etlectsof this committee it is bellovec that Cincinnati will have the fairest elcc:lou that ha* bwn held for ears

AT the recent memorial services to CSeneral (Irant, held in the Metropolitan church at Washington, of which he was a member, and adduced by John A. Logan, neither the Provident, Cabinet nor any Democratic ofllrial was present. The Pi widen *ent regrets. Xoneoftbe others did. IT la not easy to make excuses for s\ich breach «t respect or rather common decency. But then the Democrats are very biif.v jus! now, with 400.000 applications for oflilce in the Post Offline I'L partment alone and others in proportion. Th««y bnvo BO time to waaie the dead, who have no political inlhiem-e.

IT takes podti'-al to reveal tho chancer' of men. It was not week after Qov. liilt'.s nomination until tb *tory was published that he nsed to l* a tool of Boss Tweed, mid received af»*cof $40 .hXI t.ncs for tswvaiiag to what n«*ci?»arv to fce proved in a ctrtntn Milt. And if Mr. Davenport- csrujos somewhat better be hts not «or.o miscrntcbod by any mear.f, for it was alleged that be was iu a conqwny ei gagcil in tbe manufacture of wine. Hut tbis is only the beginning of the campaign and what will be developed hefote she end of it Is wholly beyond coojccture.

Thkrk is a commission in Illinois appointed dad Ibe best location for a soldiei's home and it ha* dov«Uped the healthfuluejf^ of the Sicker State to an extent that p(»s severe tax upon credulity. The fact has unexpectedly beea di»ctvered that of all the towns seeking to get tbe home tbere i* not one that to not superior to tbe most noted health rworte tbe old tr.itId, In ore lac? the annual death rate isot»lytl*r»© in the thousand) while thirteen is tbe bigbest admitted i: in any tbe competing towns* Itte feared ti State may be overrun with health seeker* as the re* suit of these developments.

MR. BLAINE dees not in tend to bo forgotten. If be can't take part in the Ohio campaign be can at least telegraph his regrets and express confidence in the bore of victory. Bat it seems a little singular that Mr. Blaine sbonld not be able to take a small band in tbe Ohio figbt, since be is not known to be engaged in anything except bis literary work which coald not suffer greatly from a week'.* interruption

Two hundred milk skippers around Elgin, 113., oie: in -convention tbe other day and decided that the price of milk delivered in hicago, should be ?1.20 for cans of eight gallons, for tbe winter season. Why is it that milk can be produced in Illinois and delivered in Chicago for fifteen cents a gallon, while it brings 23 cents in Terre flaute Is tbe Sucker milk better material than that which Ifce Hoosier State produces?

THK first of the series of the joint de bates between Judge Foraker and Gov. Hoadley, took place at Toledo, on Thursday night, before an audience which taxed tho Wheeler opera bouse to its utmost capacity. It is t-aid this joint discussicn between the gubernatorial candidates is tbe second of the kind in tbe history of Ohio politics, the firsL having been in the campaign of 1850, wheu Wai. Dennisou defeated Rufus P. Ranney for governor. It is the fashion now to take up with old things snd this tendency ?eeuis to be illustrated in politics as well as in dress, dishes .and household decoration.

AnoCTamontb ago John A. Irgan bought a house in Washington for $20,000. Ibis week be was offered $40,000 for it. He consulted the real estate men wbo advised bun to bold it awhile and i» would command ?(0,000. If he should be a candidate for President three years from now, people will bowl,

Where did Logan get $60,000 to buy a bouse?" If a man ever expects to be a candidate for the Presidency he should bury his one talent in a napkin and when the time comes should resurrect it and say, "Here it that one talent wbicb I have bad tbe wit to increase therefore I am tit to direct tbe affairs of the nation!"

A UECENT London dispatch gives tho surprising information that the lato astounding revbiations of rottenness in E.iglish society, are yet to be discounted by others still worse yet to come. At lirighton, a clergyman has disappeared secretly, having run away to avoid the consequences of his lecherous acts, to assist in which be is said to have used the finances of his congregation. Soon after this the curate of another decamped under a similar premiro of circumstances. The3e discoveries opened the eyes of the community to the true state of affairs in their religious bodigs, and it has been found that these wolves in sheep's clothing have been guilty of conduct incredibly atrocious. If these discoveries shall lead to an abandonment of the present vicious system, which has long prevailed in England, of putting coarse, lazy aud worldly-mind-ed men into fat church livings, where thoy have little or nothing to do but collect their tithe«, it will be a good thing. George Eliot, years ago, in the tirst book that made her famous, exposed some of the wicked practices of these miserable fellows, but the system has been allowed to exist in spite of all the protest which has been made against it.

WITH tbe dawn of better prospects in tho business world comes the report of strikes among employes. Six strikes were reported from Philadelphia in a sing'.o day. The number of workers involved was not large, it is true, but the rtTect of the strikes was to slop six important establishments for tho time and put them into a disorganized condition. And this is only au illustration of what -2 going ou elsewhere in the country. In four establishments a small increase of wagos was demanded aud in one case an attempt to cut down wages was resisted.

It cannot be denied that a neneral and growing aympalhy Is felt by the masses ul tbe people for these ttriking wageworkeis. While their atrtkes are sometimes ill-advHed it Is seldom that they arc without merit. The New York T«ibune recognires their rights in these well-spoken words:.

The lives of the workers n»v not easy. Thelnlcsire to pMvkle for their homos in comfoit. wr for time of siciuie or for the winter of old aRt\ not uorenjsonable. Jt deserves the hmrty sympathy of all employers, and of ad good ehUsteiw, Not ie$s de* serving of sympathy is tbt* enrm-M Ceslre to provide for the ed oos tion of children, that ihftv mil}- be prepared tu labor lets with the body and mure rlth Ibe mind, and may have opportunity to r!t*s atxve the t-lmiin-stances of their pareM*. Nobler aims imue br»ve, *tul employer* ought tUwny* to r«'«» e«»t snich motive, and jo woe»:f»e the right of the workers to fortiiwSrservfc'ee •something more than b*re subsistence."

ly sncceed. Tbe better ^ense of the i. coming to 0» Hiiiier, and there reason to hope that j| be method of arbitration will soon come statoof Indiana, of into much more general employment K.' fo.r the settlement of atrikes, than has f. A-um. hitherto l*en tbe case.

ELEC1RIC LTOHJ,

WHV IT IS NOT IJ8ED TO LIGHT THE STREETS OF NEW YORK.

[From the Electrical World.] A statement ot the relative cost of illumiua'.ing tbe streets with the electric light was placed before tho New York Board of Aldermen last week by S°cretary S, Commission

use 647 electric lights, costing the city

£165,3CS 50

The cost of tbe 3,093 electric lights, $534 761.50, would provide for 30 557 gas lamp?*. If all thelamps which tbe Board of Aldermen ssk for should be supplied there would be within that part of tho city south of Hitrlcm 2,730 elcctrio lights, costing $700,070 per annum, and 13 085 ga*» l#mps, costing $232 9S6 50, making a total for lighting that portion of thpcity of t'932 956 50. To this is to be added $117,630 for lighting he annexed district making a grand total for illuminating the city of $1,050,680.60. One arc light displaces 2 55"lW) gas lamps.

Mr. McCoi^uick advises against the removal of the gas lamps in districts now illuminated by fleftric light, an the city may some time be forced to fall back on gas». "I have not," says tbe secretary, "discovered any advantage the electric light possesses that cannot be obtained from pas lamps except Ibe instantaneous lighting."

HI'STER LAUNDRY will furnish complete toilet set_ consisting of tow#l rack, mirror, comb, brush and soap free with each order for towels at following rates:

Ono towel every day (Sunday exocpted), $1.50 por month. Two towels, same, $2.i0 per month.

This is a plau originated in Chicago, where it bas grown to a great business, as all establishments employing a number of people must have arrangements for a regular change of towels.
