Ir Philadelphia the best method of guarding
against the explosion of steam boilers waa for
long period a subject of anxious considera
tion. Some of the most skilful experts in the
olty examined and reported oa this matter,
and after years of careful deliberation, a
stem waa finally devised whloh, it is to be
hoped, will prove effloaoions and proteot our
oltisena, as far as human foresight can proteot
them, againt t the fatal disasters caused by de.
feotire boilers or careless engineers.
The work whloh was deemed difficult heref
for looal protection, notwithstanding the aid
given 4o Counoila by men who really knew
something about steam boilers, the Solans at
Harrisburg now propose to rush through on a
high-pressure system, as a pleoe of profitable
State legislation.
Judging from their usual neglect of their
legitimate duties, they might have slumbered
on forever in blissful forgetfnlness of the de
struotlon of life and property caused by ex
plosions, if a scheme had not been devised
whereby corrupt legislators and the owners of
oertaln patents could enrich themselves. The
subject, Intensely dry and repulsive when re
garded as a duty, beoame endowed with ab-
sorbing Interest as soon as a zealous borer
oonvinoed them, by the arguments to whloh
legislative reason Is so oharmlngjysusoeptlble,
that there was "something in it."
As the matter now stands, the House has
passed, er is about to pass, a bill which, under
an insidious pretext, will not only create a new
horde of officials who are to be unduly re
warded for their services as inspectors, but
levy an enormous tribute on the industrial
Interests of the State for the enrichment of the
owners of two patents whloh may or may not,
for all the legislators know, be the grand
lock-up safety valve" and "low-water indi
cator" whloh they are represented to be.
In the bill, Odsa.is on Pelion piled to oompel
oltiiens of Pennsylvania to buy these New
York patents. In prinoiple it is the greatest
legislative monstrosity of the session, and the
men who support it, in its present shape,
after fully understanding its provisions, must
have reaohed that last and most shameless
Btige of oorruptlon, where they cease to
Justify their deeds unto themselves.
Every owner of a steam boiler will be com
pelled to buy a new-fangled "look-up safety
valve" and "low-water indloator," whloh
will be manufactured at an enormous profit
by the favored patentee and his legislative
partners, if this bill becomes a law and the
contemplated programme is oarried out in all
its ramifications. To ensure this result heavy
fines and penalties are showered nBon the
. -
stubborn or neglectful steam-boilers owners
who fail to patronize the grand new legisla
tive safety-valve company; and to make assu
ranoe doubly sure, there is a seotion setting
forth that if the boiler of any person who fails
to buy the high-priced patents blows up, he
"shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter,
and upon oonviotion shall be sentenced to
confinement at hard labor for a period not
exceeding ten years, and shall also be civilly
liable to any person injured for all damages to
person and property by reason of any such
explosion I"
It would be a fair pleoe of parallel legisla
tion, after this exhibition of legislative rapa
city, If the session should wind up with a law
sentencing to death every citizen of Philadel
. phla who, after . the Twelfth and Sixteenth
Streets Passenger Railway is completed, rides
north and south on any other line. If deoenoy
and justloe are to be violated for the enrich
ment of legislative oormorants in one instance,
why not in the other f And if one olass 0
men are to be sent to prison for ten years be
cause they will not patronize the Legislature
in its "look-up safety-valve" capacity, why
should not another class be murdered outright
for refusing or negleoting to shower its dimes
upon the legislative passenger-railway pet ?
The only thing that surprises us is, that
the Legislature, instead of plundering the
people piecemeal, does not advance boldly to
its favorite task by appropriating all the
money in the State Treasury at once to its
insatiable leeches, and then levying a per
petual tax for their exclusive benefit.
TUe New Fenian Movement.

It seems, however, that they have merely been

with the advent of spring they have awakened
to life nd activity again, and are about to
Inaugurate a new campaign. It is announoed

TUB DAILY. EVflNDTO TELEGRAPH PHHiADELPHIA, MONDAY,
appeal to the patriotism, prejudices, and
sturdy Irish hatred of England to lodaoe as
many as possible to give the dollar demanded.
This tax will come heaviest upon those who
are least able to bear it, as most of the Irish
men and Irishwomen in the oountry belong
to the laboring classes, who earn
small' wages, and, under the beet
olronmstanoes, find it to be as muoh as they
can do to support themselves. The women in
particular will be appealed to in the strongest
manner, and from them the most liberal re
sponse is to be expected. A dollar represents
half a week's wages to most of the Irish
women In the country, and it is an outrage to
ask them to give such a proportion of their
scanty earnings for the support of such a
transparent swindle as the Fenian organiza
tion. The ostensible purpose for whloh this money
is to be oolleoted is the purohase of rifles to
be plaoed in the hands of the brave sons of
Erin, wbo have resolved to do or die in the
service of their native land. The only results
of the Fenian movement hitherto have been
to consign a number of unfertunate men to the
gallows or English dungeons, and to jut
money into the pookets of such patriots as
Stevens, O'Mahony, and Killlan.
We have no particular affection or admiration
for England, and we heartily sympathize with
the Irish in hatred of English miagovernment;
but Irish wrongs will never be righted by the
Fenian organization, which we have no hesita
tion in characterizing as one of the most
gigantio humbugs of the age. We hope that
our Irish fellow-oltlzens will allow a little
Yankee shrewdness and common sense to
temper their generous impulses In this matter,
and induce them to hold fast to their dollars
until they are sure that some good will be
accomplished with the money. It is very
certain that President Grant will never permit
any Irish organization to deolare war with
England as loog as the United States Govern
ment is at peane with that oountry, and all
the money contributed for anysuoh insane
purpose might be expended in a muoh more
appropriate manner for the relief of the suf
fering poor.
Nova Scotia and Annexation.
It is said that the sentiment in favor of an
nexation to the United States is making great
headway in Nova Sootia, and even extending
into the neighboring provlnoe of New Bruns
wick. From the outset there has been deve
loped in the former province a strong and ap
parently unoonquerable opposition to union
with the other provinces composing the Do
minion of Canada. The Nova Sootians argue
that all the benefits of the union are reaped
by the western provinces, while the burdens
inoident to it which fall upon them are out of
all proportion to the extent of their territory
and the number of their people. In oonse-'
quenoe of this state of affairs, they have been
clamoring inoessantly for a repeal of the aot
of consolidation; and now that there is no
proBpeot of their demand being complied with
it is asserted that the annexation fever has
broken out with greater virulenoe than ever
before, nine-tenths of the population being
prostrated with it. .
The advocates of annexation have seoured
thejoooperation of some of the leading journals,
and have likewise engaged in a vigorous
pamphlet oampaign, numerous brochures set
ting forth the disadvantages of union with
Canada and the benefits to be derived from
annexation to the United States having been
distiibuted throughout Nova Sootia, and New
Brunswick as well. The services of eminent
pamphleteers at Washington have also been
seoured, for the purpose of doctoring up pub
Ho opinion on this side of the boundary line.
If rumor be oorreot, however, we fear that the
Nova Scbtiaus have made a sad mistake in the
seleotion of their advooates, for Robert J.
Walker, the seediest of all the tribe of seedy
pamphleteers, is said to be one of the number.
Mr. Walker's achievements in the Alaska busi
ness still linger in the memories of the
people, and they will be inolined to enter int
any project of whloh he becomes, the advo
cate with great reluctance and distrust. The
only thing that this notorious lobbyist can
accomplish in the Nova Sootia scheme will be
the indefinite postponement of its consumma
tion. Therefore, if any considerable portion
of the people of that provinoe are desirous of
severing their connection with both Canada
and the mother country, with the view of
being received into the American Union, they
will do a wise thiDg by repudiating Walker
and bis pamphlets.
The area of Nova Scotia, inoluding the
island of Cape Breton, which is now united
with it, comprises 18,746 square miles, a little
less than the. combined territory of New
Hampshire and Vermont; while its popula
tion, aocording to the census of 1861, was
330,609, and at the present day does not ex
ceed 375,000. These figures are not suffi
ciently large to warrant the reception of the
provinoe into the Union on terms of absolute
equality with the other States. If New
Brunswick, however, sees fit to unite with
Nova Scotia previous to asking admission to
the Union, a very respectable State can be
carved out of the combin ation. The area of
New Brunswick being 27,700 square
miles, and its population In 18C1 having been
252,047 or about 300,000 at the present day
the new State would have an area of 46,446
square miles, and a population, in 1861, of
582,746, or about t70,000 at present; While
its population would still be considerably less
than that of Maine or New Jersey, its area
would be about equal to that of Pennsylvania
or New York. If the people of Nova Sootia
and New Brunswick see fit to unite in this
way, and, having secured 'the oon
sent of Great Britain, to demand
admission into the Union as a single 8tate,
there is no doubt that their request will be
granted without any assistance from the
pamphlets of Robert J. Walker or any other
Jpbbyist. The benefits to be reaped by the
two colonies are so manifold and so manifest,
that no argument should be needed to oon
vlnoe them of the fact, while the Inoreaae In
our own territory would be more than com
pensated for by the aooesston to our popula
tion and resources.
Thb politioiam have oommenoed a grand
row at Washington over the momentous ques
tion of how the patronage shall be distributed,
and whether the recommendations of Con
gressmen and Senators shall be potential la
all cases, and the influenoe of all other mem
bers of the Republican party worthless. As
the matter now stands, the President seems
Inolined to look closely after the publio in
terests in this turmoil, despite all slates or
combinations; and if they are well served, it
matters little to the mass of the oommunity
what is the fate of the oliques, or of the thou-tand-and-one
aspirants clamoring lustily fur
tffioe.
In tub organization of the House of Repre
sentatives, a speoial committee is to be ap
pointed to investigate the manner in which
the secret service fund was disbursed by Mr
Seward during bis administration of the State
Department. Curious revelations may be
made, if all the seorets of his eight years of
eventful service are disclosed. Authentio in"
formation on this topio would be deep'y in
teresting, and we trust that the whole story
will be spread before the publio.

Thk Prussian Railways. The Siaalsan
teiger of Berlin has lately directed attention
to ibis snt ject, and gives a statement of all
Important facts down to the end of 18)7. Tbe
article does not treat f the provinces annexed
to Prutsla In 1866. At the end of tbe year 1814.
114 German milts (one German mile is a little
less than five EDgllsti miles) of rail were open
In Prnssla; of these 18 bad a double traok. At
the end of 1867, 954 German miles were open, of
Which 350 were donb e. Of these, 216 miles
belonged to tbe State. Tbe traffic has risen In
proportion to the Increase of facilities, the
number of passengers navlDg inoreaied daring
tbe period above mentioned from about
4,000,000 to 89,000.000. These faots beoome more
striking when we turn to the separate lines
Ttat between Berlin and Hamburg, which
belongs to a private company, and of whloh the
length has remained almost the same sinoe it
was first opened, oarried in 1867, 1,324,241 persons
against 624,697 in 1846, wbile the goods trafflo
has risen from 1,218,784 to 11 502.197 tons. Again
the line between Magdeburg and Leipslo, which
was built In 1840, and remained unaltered in
length until 1857, when a short line of about
three Geiman miles and a half was added,
shows also a great in crease. In 1841 It oarried
858,201 1 ercoBS and 670,815 tons of goods; In 1857.
935,694 and 19,197,207; while In 1867 the trafflo waa
no less than 1,170.443 and 26,000,000. The capita
invested In Prussian railways which were open
at tbe end of 1867 amounted to 520.439,652 thalers;
of this sum 128,411,870 bad been employed on
lines belonging to the State; 122,591.816 on pri
vate lines managed by tbe Slate; and 269.735.966
on those entirely in the bands of private com
panies. The a lmulus whloh the railways In
Prnssla have given to industry cannot be stated
In figures. The estates that lie In the dlstrlots
through which they pass always rise In value,
and sometimes attain nearly double their for
mer market price. In provinces wbere tbe
land Is principally in tbe bands of peasant'pro
prlelorc, tt is frequently means that thousands
cf families gradually rise from poverty to com
parative sllluenoe. Hence tbe influence of rail
ways is often felt by people who never enter
one of the carriages.
The Cattle Tuade of thk United States.
Some lutereslliig f.tct and figures oa this
question were reoently submitted before the
Social Science Association at Albany. It was
stated that tbe consumption of beef in Franoe
was 910.000 Iouk; in England, 1,660,000 tons, and
In the United Slater, 2 000 000 tons. One of the
principal sourcta of supply of cattle to the
Eaktern States and New York was Texas.
When the war broke out, Texas bad only
8.000,000 of cattle. There were now 12,000.000
head of cattle in that St ale. The total supposed
'value of all the cattle In tne United Stales was
1100,000,010, and tb$ total annual consumption
amounted to 50,000,000 head. In New York
alone there was $32,000,000 worth of meat an
Dually consumed, besides 83,000.000 pounds of
butter, valued at 133 000.000; 72,000,000 pounds of
Cheese, valued at 114,000.000; and 29,000,000 gal
lons of milk, valued at 87,0.0,U00-a total of
s&a.uio.oio.
Hindoo Statistics. In January, 1F05, a
oensus of the Inhabitants of tbe northwestern
provinces of British India was taken, with an
enumeration of their occupations, after the
manner of tbe English tables. Tne population
in number came out as equal to that of the
United Kingdom, or rather more than 80,000,000

By noon it goes toelxiy-four I
Its rapid Jumps confound me.
Again it starts at sixty-two,
Hut, eastern winds prevailing,
The mercury travels down again,
With snowing and with hailing.
The cnrlous thermometer
Cod fuses me altogether:
But one thing; certainly we'l I know,
Wbeiher tbe mercury's high or low,
W he! her the sun is shining or no.
In days of rain, or in days of snow,
Whether the March winds howl and blow,
All I have to do Is lo go
To Rock h ill & Wilson's Store, and, lo !
They have clothes fur all sons of weather !
Let tbe 'thermometer go up to boiling Tor
down to zero. and we will be ready to clothe tbe
publio tor every degree of heat or oold cheap
for cash.
