Our police force needs reorganizing.
Numerous accidents are caused liy the
hitching rings in sidewalks. The rings should
be sunk in the pavement or removed.
Tiu city wore its shroud last night. The
moon was supposed to be up and gas lamps
were made burn very dimly. Is there no way
to get better light and more of it in the streets!
Means should be adopted for improving
the roads- of the State. At present many
i of them are in a very bad condition which
cannot be made better because of the re-
straints of neighborhood opposition and inac-
tion. County Commi'sioners should have
greater powers on this point and it is the
duty of the Legislature to grant them.
No one would think of permitting a gun-
powder" factory to be established on Main
plaza yet we let saloons he opened almost
for the mere asking. Of the two evils the
gunpowder factory may not be the worst.
Close the dens where vice and crime are bred
and let the sale of liquor be controlled by a
few responsible dealers. This may be done
by increasing the license tax.
Tin town officers of llatesville Arkansas
propose to test the strength of a bridge in
course of construction at (hat place by inviting
the community to dance on it as soon as it is
completed "believing" say the telegraphic
correspondents "that if it stands the weight
of as many people as can jdance on it and
those in attendance it will safely bear any
weight that may be hauled over tt." Wise
men are they of llatesville! Hut they should
not neglect to give a prominent position to the
builder of the bridge and to be present them
selves.
A mania for walking has again struck the
women ol the North and the East. Their ex
ercise undoubtedly tends to a development of
their forms to warn the classic proportions of
the Venus of Milo but when it is unaccompa-
nied by oilier exertions a hint of danger lurks
therein. It is a rule of evolution that the cul
tivation of one set of muscles increases that
part of the animal to. the dwarfing of other
parts. Hence the stomachs of aldermen be-
come rotund. Consequently if women per
sist in exercising by walking only generations
from now we may see our wives and daughters
with a foot and a leg whose possibilities one
shudders to contemplate.
As soon as the announcement was made
that the Tzar was to be crowned next May
bloodthirsty Ilerr Most had a conference with
his brother Nihilist Ilartmann at Philadel-
phia arid then dispatched him for Kurope via
New York. Ilerr Most declares that tlie
coronation shall never I never!! never! It
take place. A great man.is Ilerr Most and a
discreet. Esconced in a Philadelphia beer
saloon he may with Impunity threaten to wage
a merciless war on tnc ruier 01 ms country.

Exhibitions of race pride are constantly in-
creasing among educated Americans of Ger-
man extraction. One of these was by the im
mortal (larfield who on the occasion'of the
eulogistic speeches delivered In memory of
Oustav Schleicher In Ihe United States Con
gres.s delivered a tlilhynmtiic song of praise
In honor of "Germania" the goddess of Ger
man nationality. The words of Garfield sur-
prised many at that lime and were received
and applauded throughout by the German
press. Anglo Saxon pride was nourished In
this country where it has raised and devel-
oped itself into a mighty power.
Even at the time of Shakespeare when the
Anglo Saxon element had gained Ihe accend-
ancy in language jurisprudence and govern-
ment this hatred race was unknown to the
people. After a freedom once more regained
It is natural to ask who were these Anglo
Saxons and hence we often find in later times
a praise for the Germans from an unexpected
source for "blood will tell." When pn the
8th of January last the Democrats- of
Worcester Ohio had a celebration of Ihe
battle of New Orleans lo and behold a Mr.
McSweeney a prominent attorney delivered
an oration in the German language but this
was made more remarkable owing to its con-
tents lhan the (act that it was delivered by an
American.
Mr. McSweeney spoke of the love of liberty
of the Germans and said: "Liberty is older
with the Germans than slavery. It was and is
in our nature in our national character
it grows although seemingly . fading yet
growing again more fresh than ever.
Freedom or liberty says the Roman poet
Lucanus Is a German's supreme domain
(libertas Germanlcum honum). The Unman
historian Florus says: It Is a wonder that
the Germans have by nature what the Greeks
only reached by science. The English histo
rian Hume says: All that Is leltln tins world
id liberty honor nobility and dignity we
have to credit to the magnanimity of the Ger-
man character. Liberty says Montesquieu
was discovered In the Oerman forests." Mr.
McSweeney in speaking of the late election
remarked: "The vote of the Germans at the
ballot box save'd the people from the conse
quences of unbearable tyrannical madness and
as long as their vote can be felt at the ballot
box lor right freedom and justice the wellare
and happiness of the institutions of this
country will not be endangered. Like
tneir ancient ancestors in their original virgin
forests they are imbued with the same spirit
always ready to not alone siciificc worldly
possession's but life on the altar of freedom'
and justice."
Some may see the demagogue in this speech
and the attempt to make German votes. We
consider the subject from another point of
view it is like other occurrences a sign pro-
phetic of the near future. Germans will be
acknowledged in their full value and honored
as such and will continually increase.
wncre Is the aristocratic pride ol the r.ng-
lish Normans who were so powerful during
the middle ages T It has been cleared away
by the pride of the Saxon and this Saxon's
pride is German pride. Who ever has lived in
(his country for the last 25 years will
have noticed a big change in regard lo the
Germans for expressions and opinions like
Garfield's and McSwceney's were unheard of
30 years ago.
An important problem in political econ-
omy is presented by the mass of inventions
produced by Americans from the novel and
ingenious application -of force to practical
purposes the substitution of mechanism for
manual labor in new and curious contrivances.
American mechanics are distinctively Ameri
can. Hecause of conditions of capital and
labor more favorable than ours other nations
ead us in elaborating inventions pushing me
chanical science furthest in their experimental
studies and developing with method and cer-
tainty the results which together form indus
trial resolutions effected with an almost calcu
lable progress; but we are unquestionably
foremost in originality. All the latest ad
vances in steamship building are English
but the first successful steamer was built
in American waters; English artillery is
far superior to ours but England
owes much of its present knowledge of ihe
power of artillery to the experiments of Ihe
Americans Hodman and Dahlgren. So it is
with other things. The reason is probably
that while mechanical science is more assldu
ously studied in other countries greater in
ilucements to inventors are otlereil in ours.
Here invention pays and the provisions of
the patent laws are so equitable that invest
ment in brain labor is safe while elsewhere
the cost of patent right protection Is so great
and the efficiency of the patent so doubtful
that none but a wealthy man can afford to
waste his time in experimenting. Our patent
system is far superior to that of any other
country and the wisdom of our legislation in
this particular has been shown by our incalcu
lable economy of wages from labor-saving
machines and our income from royalties on
patents procured in foreign countries.
