The lecturer then snowed that the Old Testament contained only 5800 different words. Execution by electricity appears to the San Francisco Chronicle to have b.-en reduced to a sciouce in New York, for two murderers have been put to death in the chair with no eviden ce of sutleriog. This new process is as instantaneous n9 that by the guillotino and far less ghastly. , - - .. ? ^ The position of Memphis, Tean., IS peculiar. The treacherous Mississppi has cut a new .'Tlaigscl four miles from the towo, and the Sau Francisco Chroni ' - ole declares that udIcss prompt measures betaken to force the stream into its old bed the city will be left high and dry. Of course, as the river i9 the life of the city no expense will be spared to bring - its water* back. Those who only know v fivers that presei^e the same bed will bo apt. to regard this story as a Western exaggeration, but the people are in dead earnest. To them it is a mutter of life or death. In days of old when much distinction was Lad in meeting-houses the spelling of our word pew was pue. In French it was puye, in Spanish it was poye, a bench; in Latin it was podium, a balcony or elo^ yatcd place next to tho arena, where tho ^ Emperor sat, and in Grc^k it was pous, tho foot?and in all cases where tho feet of tho worshiper rested?a raised place on the floor of the church wbcro que might sit or might stand or might kneel. In Puritan meeting-houses the choico pews were round about the walls, one step up, and the deacons' scats near the pulpit t wo steps up,and ttfose of the ruling elders one step higher yet. In theso later days, observes the Chicago Herald, the best pews are in the center of tho church?the wall pews fetch lesi pries. It is a curious fact in the history of out civilization, notes ttio iNew York , World, that the iira4 instrument ( ? >? port at ion, the common roadway, is the last to receive the attention of scieuce. The railroad and the oceau steamship were transformed into modern palaces before the common dirt road in this countrj began to attract serious attention. For generations economists have taught that the problem of the distribution of wealth is equal in importance to the problem of its production, and yet our neighboring farmers are content to lumber over roads that make the cost of transportation so high that the remote cultivator of the West who sends his products over a thousand miles of railroads cau undersell him in the Eastern market. The real reasou "why we have so few good roads" is the luck of appreciation of their economy. How rapid the industrial progress ol the South has beeu for a decade aud now is?rapid beyond the icalizatiou even ol the men that are bringing it about?U sot forth in the Forum by Richard. II. Edmonds, late editor of the Maufacturers' Record, of Haltiinorc, who3a life's study lias been given to the subt ject. Among the most significant facts set forth by Mr. Edmonds are these: Since 18S1 the corn crop of the South has increased seventy-five per cent, as against seventy-one per cent, in the rest of the country; the cotton crop has increassd from live aud a half million to nine million bales?an increase in value, evfin with the present low price, of two hundred millions of dollars: in 1801 there were nearly 45,000 miles of railroad iu the South, against less than 24,000 iu 1881?a gain of eighty-sever per cent. a3 against a gain of fifty-six per cent, in the re3t of the country. The passenger trallic of the same roads increased during tho sumo period 360 per cent, as against an increase in the restol the country of only 168 per cent. Ic pigiron manufacture the South's output jnmped from 451,000 tons in 1881 tc 1,914,000 in 1891?a gain of 223 pei cent, as against a gain for the rest of the country of seventy-eight per cent.; in other words, in 1881 the North and West mado more than nine times ai much iron as the South, in 18'J1 thej made less than four times us much. Th? increase in tlio number of mill operators in the South was 135 per cent, as against an increase in New England of seven teen per cent. And so in cvory lino ol productive activity the marvellous rapid ity of increase is explained, showing that in assessed valuations the property ol | the South has in this period very neurit v doubled and increased from ?187 pei capita to ? I?a record that is probably without h pnrall' l in ttie whole his tory of substantial industrial growth. And in spite of the temporary depressiot caused by an over pro luction of cotton, the increase gees on. POLITICAL WORLD. Candidates, Conventions, Nomina- r tions, Elections.

Loucks'advances some original andjcntircly logical views as to the right of the national government to interfere between Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and their employes at lloiucs'eid, Pa. He says: "It is the protective system of this government, as asserted and cxer cised in its patent system and in its ar rangemcnt of the incidence and rate of - -mm xtr: intervene net ween this firm and its work men iu this instance. When Can cgie, Phipps & Co. accept the patent system of this country and its protective tariff for the goods the firm makes; when it come in under these patents and these protective tariffs, and gets the benefits of them, it becomes to that extent a ward of the government. It no longer depends upon its own, unaided exertions in a field of free competition, but becomes, instead, a ward or client of the government to tho fu 1 extent that it accepts the protection and the benefits ol the govern meat's patent and tarill laws. For that reason the government has a right to interpose in the conduct and manageincut of the business of this firm, and to prescribe in its relations to its workmen. This is seen very clearly in the matter of the tariff. This firm enme to the United States and asked as a favor, that the pco pie of the United States should give it a bounty upon all the goo Is that it make. 'I want this bounty,'said the firm, 'to enable m to pay higher wages to the men wo employ.' 'Very well,' replied the ppcplc of the United States, 'if that is what jou want it for, we will agree to give you the bounty,' and the people of the United Stitcs accordingly did burden themselves with the payment of (lie bounty asked for. They did it in the shape of a protective tariff 011 the pro ducts of the firm. Therefore, now, if after the firm gets its bounty, and while it continuously is in receipt of its bounty, it, instead of advancing wages, cuts them down, and locks out t!se workmen because they it fuse to accept 'lie reduction, the people of the United S atcs have a peiftct right to step in and compel, not only the rcinstntemeni of the woikmen, but also to enforce such a disti ilnition of the receipts of the linn for its products hfttivi'Pii tho firm niwl \t< u/nl/hwin no ehaU. secure to the workmen that improve I went of w??cs that the bounty, at tlie icqiicst of the firm, Was given for."
