The true inwardness of the wink, as used by the ordinary American, is not fully understood nor appreciated by the public; and it is unfortunate, since ,as a means of communication between strangers, there is nothing so effective, and which leaves less of gravity and intimacy behind It- The wink is the sign of mutual understand ing of the current Joke, and contaias all of silent comment necessary for mutual appreciation, and invariably precedes the laugh lying close to it The laugh is frequently not advisable, while the wink will pass current al ways and is wholly non-committal. - That a two-months bride-groom in Chicago should go to pieces because a streetcar conductor winked at his two months' bride, and set a -rapid-transit system by the ears in his search of the winker for purposes of revenge, is one of the funniest things of the day, and if we know anything of the press Jokers of the country, he, nor she, will hear the last of it for many a month. There are happy nature! people abroad all the time who, for want of other means of communicating their spontaneity, use the wink as the simp lest and readiest expression of their good-natured notions of people, inci dents and things, and who would be sorely missed from the ordinary crowd of people always found in public place' and who are not disposed to count it any serious transgression of the con ventions, since Its general reception is of the frank and cordial sort that goes with all inoffensive measures of com munication. If this groom had been married 22 months Instead of two, the complaint of his wife that she had been winked at, would probably have been met with a sarcastic suggestion that she had deliberately Invoked the sign by one equally as friendly, and the incident would have closed with a growl and pout; but the newness of the condi tions and the Jealous pride ot the de voted young husband, contributed to an incident that has set the whole country laughing. We've got money that says the con ductor who did the winking was a fat, folly, red-faced, beaming, kindly man of family, who, from his long associa tion with people of all sorts, recognized the newly-married genus of this pair and understanding their supreme hap plnesg, deliberately winked at the pretty bride out of sheer sympathy with their abundant Joy, and couldn't have helped it if he wanted to, and wouldn't, if he had had all manner of warnings. The trouble is, some people cannot distinguish between a wink and a leer! There is all the difference in the world! world, and that Its balnc, wlw struck, will show handsomely on the credit side of the ledgers. That It will be an arllMle. scientific and Industrial success no one doubts, since it is of American conception and enterprise; and that it lies In the very path of the greatest commerce ot the world, ensures Its rhutuolul success If anything can. It is historically promt nent and the experience of years and a hundred just such ventures are be hind Its management, elements that must contribute Immensely to the abundant success awaiting it. The Alaska-Tukon Expo' is the next on the curds, at Seattle. ANTIQUATED NEW YORK. Four hundred "lamp-lighters" went on a strike In the first city of the na Hon on Thursday night and the police department was forced to tend out its reserves to light the lamps in the stead of the Italians composing the refractory brigade. Who would have supposed that Nw York was so far behind the times at to use gas in Its street-lighting, when It leads the world in all other muni cipal up-to-dateness? The writer can remember when New Tork bad no other system of public lighting and it was deemed to be one of the beat lighted cities in the world at that time, but it seems from the dispatches that gas dies hard back there and the last flicker of the old-time lamp is yet a long way in the future. Even Astoria has gone beyond such a stage as that Electricity is the only scheme now recognised and be cause it is the most powerful and re liable, i With 400 lamp-lighters, with a hun dred lamps to the man, there must be 40,000 lamps still In existance under the old regimen there, and with four lamps to the block, 10,000 blocks In the territory served by the gas com panies. A big slice in such a modern city to be .so relegated. . 0 i - S EDITORIAL 8 A LAD.
