FKIDAY
-AritIL 3, 18S5
The Rhode Island senate lias
passed a resolve to submit the ques
tion of. woman suffrage to tbe voters
ol tbe state.
Hexby ViiiiiAiiD bag been stopping
in Speyer, Germany, attending tbe
dedication of a bospital and religious
retreat founded by bim in bis days of
great wealth.
Gen. Gr.vnt bas not yet acknowl
edged ibe receipt of liis commission
as a general on tbe retired list, and
bis name bas therefore not yet been
placed upon tbe government pay
roll. Tiie Pall Mall Gazette states tbat
Russia's answer to England's propo
sals of tbe Afgban frontier amounts
to a cordial acceptance. And so blows
away tbe threatening European war
cloud.
The receipts of the New Orleans ex
hibition now reach about 6,000 per
day. This is probably more than the
cost of attendance and maintenance,
so that it will pay to keep the exhibi
tion open, though there is no hope
now thai any part of the money
loaned by the government can be re
turned. The New York Surfs financial arti
cle points out tbat Mr. Phelps, the
new minister to England, was General
Scbenck's counsel in the Emma mine
affair, and that his appointment will
beget distrust in the British investors'
minds, as Englishmen have a mortal
horror of everybody and everything
connected with that swindling opera
tion. Tbe whole amount of life insurance
now in force in the United States is
S2,000,000,000, a sum S100,000,000
greater than tbe net annual revenue
of the United States government;
five times larger than the total an
nual sales of money postal orders,
and nearly $1000,000,000 greater than
the total combined capital invested
in the iron, steel and lumber business
in this country.
Vebmont has started to solve the
question of ignorant and incompetent
juries under its new law with consid
erable success. A law passed by the
last legislature provided for the draw
ing of special juries in important
cases. It is first being applied in
the trial of the case of ex-Gov. John
JB. Page of Rutland. The jury drawn
consists of leading citizens of the
county outside of Eutland.
A week ago serious labor troubles
were threatened in England, many
colliery proprietors having deter
mined to enforce a reduction of 10
per cent in wages, declaring that such
was absolutely necessary to enable
them to keep- the pits open at present
prices for coals. Forty-five thousand
hands would be directly affected by
such a reduction. The present pros
pect of war with Russia is likely, how
ever, to revolutionize the situation.
A kew system of remedy is attract
ing attention in San Francisco. It is
styled "the faith cure," and is used by
"the Holiness Band," led by a gentle
man named "Rev. Geo. Newton."
"Faith and oil" are the alleged agents
in this new materia medica, and won
derful cures are reported. The allop
athists and homajpathists have
ceased quarreling among themselves
and unite in opposing the "faith and
oil" pharmacy as a matter of self de
fense. TnEMalidi's military resources in
clude 15,500 Egyptian regulars, who
were originally taken prisoners or de
serted to tbe Malidi's camp. It is not
known, even at English headquarters
in the Soudan, how inany native war
riors have joined Mohammed Ach
med, but he possesses armaments for
an almost unlimited number. Besides
the arms and equipments" of Hicks
and Baker Pasha's forces, which fell
into the hands of the enemy, the lat
ter has an enormous quantity of pro
visions and ammunition, which the
Egyptian government had stored in
Sennar, Kordofan and Eachoda.
An informal cabinet meeting wa$
held at "Washington last Wednesday
night to consider the burning of As-
pinwallby the insurrectionists, and
to define the obligations of the United
Stales in the premises. It was de
cided that while the government has
no responsibility for internal broils
at Panama, the old treaty with Grana
da guarantees free and uninterrupted
transit across the isthmus. Secretary
"Whitney, at the conclusion of
the conference, telegraphed the
consul at Panama for further par
ticulars, and if present advices are
confirmed, men and guns will be
shipped immediatelyjto maintain free
transit across the isthmus.
Between theBussian and the Scan
dinavian workman the contrast is
complete, nothwithstanding tbe same
ness of the climate tinder which they
both live. "While the industries of
Russia are in their infancy, those of
the Scandinavian countries have left
that stage far in the past Tbe indus
tries of Scandinavia are almost en
tirely confined to wood and iron. The
Scandinavian workman is well cared
for by bis employer. "Without receiv
ing high pay, the mine.r, the wood
worker and the weaver, both Swedish
and Norwegian, enjoy a relative de
gree of comfort through their cheap
food markets, tbe alliance of family
life with industrial labor and fanning,
the universal diffusion of popular in
struction, the spirit of associatipns
and the multiplying of educational as
well as of provident and charitable in
stitutions, and finally and above all
their habits of order, their honesty
and their relations in general with
their employers.
'
The twentieth anniversary of the
raising of the American flag over
Fort Sumter will be celebrated by
the Sumter club in Brooklyn at the
the Academy of Music in that city,
.April 14th. The club was organized
at Port Sumter in 18G5, when a steam
boat full of people went from Brook
lyn to witness the ceremony of again
hoisting the old flag. Among those
who have already signified their in
tention of being present are Rev.
Henry "Ward Beecher, Commodore
Chandler, General Gilmore, Admiral
Worden and Commodore Schley.
The following is an extract from a
letter received from General Sher
man: "1 take it lor granted tnat you
hardly expect one of my age to come
over 1,000 miles for any anniversary
occasion whatsoever, and that-you will
be perfectly satisfied to receive from
mo this assurance of profound sat
isfaction on learning that such men
of national fame whose names head
your sheet still cherish the memory
and celebrate an event of equal, if
not more importance than the decla
ration of independence, because Sum
ter is a monument of a fact tbat tbe
United States could and did maintain
their integrity, whereas the other was
a string of words."
