GO TNG OVER TO CHINA. The Mail has heretofore suggested that when the march of American enterprise from east to west should reach the Pacific it would eventually pass over into Asia and begin a new course of conquest round the globe. This prediction •aeems about to be fulfilled. A steamer .recently sailed out of San Francisco bearing representatives of an American syndicate who are going to introduco the telephone system in China. The capital jfttock

of the company is 920,000,000 and It has obtained from the Chinese gov eminent the exclusive right to operate telephones in that country for a period of thirty years.

This is the beginning. What the end -will be who can foretell? China, India, and Africa have as yet hardly felt the touch of modern civilization and industrial enterprise. What their resources aire we do not know. It is probable that they are very great could they but be •developed. American enterprise will go "wherever American sagacity can seo that money is to be made by energy and good management. Tho old world sottled and civilized the now and now the now world will re-civilize tho old. So it may be at any rate, for certain it is that the daring enterprise of this country will not allow any part of tho world to be chained in sloth and ignorance that is worth developing

A MILLIONAIRE TEACHER. "Senator Stanford, of California, has a till now ponding in Congress the object of which is to encourage tho system of sco-opcration among rvorkingnion,and in

A recont interview with a reporter of the New York Tribune Mr. Stanford explained his ideas at a great length and took occasion to pny a high tribute to 1 ho dignity and worth of labor.

To tho long essay of the millionaire ."Hen a tor tho Chicago Tribune pertinently replies that it would receive moro attention from those whom it is designed to instruct if it canjo from some other .source. Mr. Stanford arguos that all wealth is.the product of labor, which Is true so fur as actual and not fictitious wenitl) is concerned, but it is unfortun.ntoly roinomberod that Mr. Stanford was one of a few men who put $1,500 each into tho Tacitlc Railroad job and «lrow out Kotnothing like two hundred anillions. This vast wealth was not the •creation of labor, at least not of the labor of tho syndicate of Jobbers that roapod tho profit of it.

Senator Stanford is going to make jjond uso of a largo part of his great wealth in the way of erecting and endowing a Univorsity for tho education of tho people, and ho is probably sincere in liis ellbrt to encourage co-operatlvo industry by law, but Tor all that ho is not tho kind of man to bo well adaptod to teaching lessons of thrift, industry and oconomy to laboring poople.

LIQUOR AND CRIME.

The annual report of tho secretary of tho Stato of Iowa, recently published, affords some valuable ovidonce as to tho moral effects of prohibition. There are counties in tho State and it appears that in 55 of them there was not a singlo commitment to the county jail during the year. In 22 counties not a single person was committed to either tho jail or penitentiary during the year.

This is a remarkable showing and Indicates that the abolition or diminishing of saloons has a real and perceptible fleet in diminishing crime. This is good work certainly and must be com.mended by all lovers of decency and good o«dor. Tho two penitentiaries of the Stato had 44 less inmates than they had the year previous.

The friends of prohibition in Iowa are very well satisfied with the showing made and count upon even better things next year. Arguments like these, it must be admitted, are hard to answer and it is such fact# that are propelling the temperance cause forward with an irresistible impulse.

TIL* ofl&r or Mayor Hewitt, a wealthy Iron manufacturer of New York, to torn over his establishment to his workmen provided they will guarantee him 1 per cent, intern* on the capital invested, marks another step in the progress of cooperation. The business has not been -profitable of late, it is said, and some .#50,W0 was lost last year. This would no soem to b© a v*ry encouragiug outlook for the workingmen to become proprietor* unless they might think they could manage the concern better than those who now have control of it, or else would be content with smaller wages.

Hut at any rate it would certainly be a favorable opportunity for an experiment in co-operation, since iho plant Is in perfect running order, tho business on an -established basis and everything randy to hand. Six per cent, is certainly not an exorbitant rate of interest to ask on the capital invested, as that much or more could be realised by merely loaning the money on real estate, without care, anxiety or danger of low. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Hewitt's employes will see tit to accept the offer which has been made them.

PiexrotxvATUA has aluo stepped into 'the high license ranks. The high license idea goes marching on.

HAYIXO witnessed the success of the anthracite coal kings in limiting the out put of coal and establishing an artificial price for the product of their mines, the operators in the bituminous district are also forming a pool to regulate the supply and demand. Natural gas has knocked them out of several millions of bushels of coal each year and is likely to limit the demand still more. So the mine owners are going to try to squeeze enough out of consumers by increasing the price to make up the difference. Cincinnati paper observes that there are a good many Ohio mines that have not worked to advantage for several years but which may find encouragement to resume business if the threatening attempt is made.

Russell Sage, the Wall street magnate, paid $100 rather than serve as a juror. He is too busy to serve his country.—{Baltimore American.

When Our citizens get so very busy in amassing private fortunes for themselves that they have no time to perform those civil and political duties that devolve upon every citizen in a free country, they have no right to complain if the machinery of the courts and the government falls into the hands of the vicious aud criminal classes. Some of these duties are not pleasant, to be sure, but their performance is necessary and no right-thinking man will shirk them.

IT is announced that Edison has demonstrated the possibility of telegraphing through water without the use of wires, so that when his idea is perfected ocean cables will not be needed and ships will be able to signal through the water whatever the condition of the weather may be. Edison is certainly a marvellous electrician but he seems to make a good many promises that are never fulfilled. For instance, It was announced sometime ago that messages could be sent from flying trains without the aid of telegraph wires or poles, and yet telegraphing goes on in the old fashioned waj' with no immediate prospect of a hnnge in it.

WKMNKHDAY was the biggest day over known in the history of Castle Garden. Tho number of immigrants landed was 9,802, nearly 2,000 more than in any day previous. It was a motley crowd in which every country in Europe was represented. There are no doubt some hard asos among them, but tho majority will probably beeotno good citizens of their adopted country.

IN Chicago the.other day the confidential clerk of a Board of Trade firm pleadod guilty to forging checks to the amount of $5,000. His wife and two little girls wore in court went he was sentenced to one year in tho penitentiary and tho scene was apathetic one. Speculation, which has ruined so many men, was the cause of this young man's downfall. '-S

THK Shah of Persia would like to have American capital come into his country and davelop its resources. Certainly, Mr. Shah. American oapital and enterprise aro in the developing business just now. If thero Is anything good anywhore that is undeveloped they can be counted on to take a hand in it. ,-

THK Democratic members of the Pennsylvania Legislature have been polled, and out of a total of 71, 50 are for Cleveaml 10 for Hill. So It goes all around, llut there never was any doubt that Cloveland would be nominated for a socond term, if ho lives until the convention meets.

WH.MAM O'BRIEN, tho Irish editor, who has undertaken to carry tho Irish fight into Canada, is likely to have some lively sport boforo he gets through. The Orangemen are up in arms against hiiu and if the Catholics take the other side there may be plenty of bad blood engendered. r"

IT seems almost incredible in this land of abundance that people should be well-nigh starving in certain districts of Texas and have no seed for their crops. If tho facts are authenticated and an appeal for help Is made to the country, assistance will certainly be forthcoming.

THK clandestine marriage of the fifteen year old daughter of a Philadelphia minister, and similar unions elsewhere, suggest the need of improved marriage laws. It would perhaps be well to require the consent of parents before any marriage ceremony is performed.

No wonder Hen. Rosser is mad at Phil. Sheridan. The latter whipped him out of his boots and put an end to what seemed a promising career. But after keeping quiet about it for twenty-five years, Rosser made a mistake in mentioning it at this late day.

Is there anything I hat doesn't grow in California? The announcement is now made that one of the largest deposits of marble in the world, comprising eleven different shades, has been found in San Bernardino county. California is a great State.

CANADA now holds that American vessels have no right to even buy provisions in Canadian ports. For two countries that are theoretically at peace the relations between the Dominion and the United States, seem to be peculiar to sav the least.

CmcAOO is having about as hard a time trying to get a Jury to try her boodler* as she had in yetting one to try the anarchists. Bat if the result shall as satisfactory there will he no call to grumble.

SENATOR JONES recently left Detroit saying that he was going to Florida and stand for re-election to the Senate. Nobody is getting elected Senator down there very fast, but in the list of candidates Mr. Jones' name has thus far been painfully inconspiciuous. Jones, Florida, will hardly get there.

IT is said that Jay Gould is getting ready to make his son George president of the Pacific Mail Steamer Company. He can do it, of course, but are George's feet big enough to fill his father's shoes.

JAY GOULD has turned epicure and now finds gastronomic pleasure in roasted snails. The country will not begrudge him a'Fthe snails he wants if he will only stop wrecking railroads.

NATURAL gas will soon be "too common to look at." But then you couldn't see it if you should look, unless you had a lighted match in your hand.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN says it isn'fc necessary to be "a tough" because a man is a boxer. The great slugger has certainly not proved it in his own case.

ELECTRIC BELL CASH SYSTEih Hoberg's are always to the front for tho comfort aud convenience of their patrons. They have justr completed a ery necessary improvement in their store in the way of a "Cash Call" by putting in the "Electric system" numbering 82 buttons for four floors. This system is being used by all the largest retail dry goods houses in New York and Boston and considered the safest and most reliable. Ten little girls aro soated on a bench in front of the cashiers desk, each taking their turn running cash as the salesman in his department pushes tho button. This does uway with "calling cash" and tapping on counters which has always been very annoying to customers. Hoberg, Root Co., are pushers and deserve great credit for the immense business they have built up. Besides having 52 employees in the house they have three meu on the load for the jobbing department.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Thousands in it, when the boom oomes, in that part of C. Gilbert's second subdivision of Gilbert place, lying between Walnut and Poplar streets, aud east side of 14th street to 16th street. There has been 42 lots sold and good sulH stantial buildings put thereon. The object has been to sell ^vcry alternate lot, which, when built upon, will enhance the value of the intervening lots. This has been done except in a few cases, and I now have remaining for sale 45 lots, scattered over this territory most of them between or adjoining lots with houseson them. The lots have been increased in value, but I place same value now that I sold the adjoining lots for. My total valuation is $19,800. I will discount price 10 por cent, and close out the whole 45 lota at that price. Terms—§10,000 cash balance on reasonable time at 6 per cent interest. This offer must be accepted on or before the 20th day of May, 1887. As tho city Council has ordered a street railway built on Popular street east—within,one year—that is an addi tional Incentive to invest In these lots. f&is OS. H. BLAKE.
