A 6TORY comes from Albany that
Conkling's friends are setting up a plan

A bill has been introduced in the
New Jersey Legislature which author
izes Sheriffs to employ persons "skilled
in the mechanical duties" to assist them
in the execution of criminals. This is
a movement toward a public execution
er, which, in view of the many persons
billed to be hanged this summer, and the
many more who evidently ought to be
hanged, deserves consideration.
A SEitious railroad accident occurred
near Bellaire, 0., late yesterday after
noon. As there is no telegraph line to
the point where the accident occurred,
full particulars are delayed. It appears,
however, that 'some fifteen or twenty
persons were hurt, more or less seriously.
It is announced that Ex-Congressman
Danford is among those fatally injured,
but his friends hope he may not be hurt
ii badly as at first apprehended.
The tragic death of the young Frince
imperial in South Africa, while really

they are determined nothing shall be left
undone to fitly honor his memory dead
Westminster Abbey, held sacred to the
remains of men illustrious in art, science,
war or literature, is jealously guarded,
and there has beeu so much public
pressure brought to bear against the
burial there of the young Napoleon that
Dean Stanley was almost persuaded to
deny the application. The Queen has,
however, overborne the Dean's scruples,
and it is now authoritatively announced
that the remains of the hapless young
Prince will be interred there. The statue
to Prince Albert, now completed, is also
to be immediately erected in that mauso
leum of departed greatness.
Undoubtedly the tendency of the
people of the United States is to flock
into the cities. " In the sparsely popu
lated States this is less marked than in
those more thickly peopled that have
been longer settled. Thus in Connecti
cut, Massachusetts, New York and
Rhode Island, this is especially observed.
Boston, New York, Providence, and in
deed nearly all the prominent cities and
towns of the States named, are increas
ing in population, while in tBe rural dis
tricts the number of inhabitants is actu
ally retrograding. An hundred years
go about one-thirtieth of the American
people were residents of cities. Forty
years ago the proportion was changed so
that fully one-twelfth lived in cities; in
1860 one-sixth, and at the last census, in
1870, one-fifth. Of course, this is to some
extent attrihutablo tothe development
of manufacturing industries in this coun
try that draws its workmen together in
masses, as was shown by the extraordinary
increase in city population during the
late war, when manufacturing of all
kinds was abnormally stimulated and
could hardly find sufficient men to con
duct its operations; but a part of this ten
dency is caused undoubtedly by the
greater attractions of town life to the
youth of both sexes and to the superior
facility of gratifying luxurious tastes on
the part of those who have accumulated
fortunes in the country. In Eugland,
where the laws of primogeniture keep
large estates together and thus insure
vast ' fortunes to the head of the
house, country life has maintained
g stronger foothold upon the affections
of the -wealthy and cultivated, clns.es
than elsewhere, and yet fully one-half of
the population of England is gathered
in the cities. In France country life is
distasteful to those who are sufficiently
affluent to afford to live in town, and a
proportion even greater is found residing
there. So also in Ituly and Germany.
It will probably be many years before
the same conditions exist with us as in
the old countries, but we are drifting in
the same direction in the older portions
of the United Slates, and if you travel
a road long enough you are reasonably
ure of arriving finally at the end of it.
80BGHTX STOAB CASE.
We hare referred heretofore to the
claims put forth by Dr. Collier, the
chemist, of the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, that he had succeeded in
producing true crystals of sugar in pay
ing quantities from the. sorghum sugar
cane. The experiments made during the
last twenty-five years by farmers and
others have never got beyond the point
of producing a quality of syrup equal in
many cases to the best made from the
ribbon cane of Louisiana and the West
Indies, and occasionally a small
quantity of grape sugar or glucose,
some peculiarity of the saccharine juices
seeming to destroy the capacity to form
the true sugar crystals, if originally pres
ent in the cane, or, as was often contend
ed, they do not exist to begin with. A
late Baltimore Sun publishes an article
on the subject which seems -to imply
that Dr. Collier's claim to having discov
ered the secret of securing a true crystal
ization of the inspissated juices of the
sorghum family of sugar cane rests on
the sole foundation of curing or ripening
the canes more completely than has
beon the custom among those who have
experimented before him to that end.
If this is the sole basis for his claims we
fear the Doctor and the public are likely
to fool disappointment at the promises of
a great discovery that have beeu scattered
over the country. The juices of sorghum
sugar-cane since about 1857 have been
tried in every State of the country
in every stage of development from
the springing of the plume-like hend
to the full maturity of the seed, and
true prismatic crystals of sugar have
refused to form so far as pub
licly known. The statement was put
forth some months ago that Dr. Collier
had solved the riddle, and in due time
would give the country the benefit of it.
If he has, indeed, made a great discov
ery, the people are entitled to be advised
of it; and, if not, we must be contented
with the cultivation of sorghum for syr
ups as heretofore, and must extend the
cultivation of the" sugar beet that has
been shown capable of yielding a profit
able amount of sugar, evon so far north
as Maine, in the experiments that have
proven so successful at the Portland es
tablishment.
UTILIZING C0NTTCT LABOR. "
One of the grave questions of political
economy is how to utilize to the full ex
tent the labor of convicts in penitentiaries,
so that it shall inure to the benefit of
the State without interfering with the
rights of the working classes outside.
The contractor who hires the right to
employ 590 or 1,000 convicts, more or
less, and sets them at worK making shoes,
weaving burlaps, making agricultural
implements, etc., comes directly in com
petition with the manufacturer of these
articles who employs ordinary voluntary
labor. The complaints against this com
petition has been both loud and deep,
and is likely to continue, . and should
continue as long as it exists.
We have long thought that some svs-!
tem could and ought to be devised
whereby the labor of criminals sentenced
to penal servitude could be made to do
the State real service without interfering
with the ordinary industries of the coun
try. For instance, there might be con
ducted certain public works essential to
the State that ordinarily would .scarcely
be undertaken, and these could be per
formed by the prisoners themselves
with no cost further than
that for their maintenance.
t seems that the Kentucky Legislature
has before it now a bill introduced by
Judge Hord, providing for the employ
ment of at least 500 men in the improve
ment of tho Kentucky River, and the
Courier-Journal remarking upon this
subject, says that in 1836-7 and 1838
Kentucky spent over $2,000,000 for slack
water navigation throughout the State,
but the locking and damming of the
Kentucky River was only partly accom
plished and the old works are now going
to ruin. It thinks that in less than a
year, with the work of the convicts un
der proper supervision, the river can be
made to serve all the interests of trade
as far as the Forks, and the latter can
afterwards be similarly improved
.-o that a vast and wealthy portion of the
State can be made accessible to capital
and population. It thinks this would be
a benefit to all concerned: the prison
would be relieved of the present over
crowding complained of but too justly;
the convicts would be healthier for the
change, and the State would secure a
valuable public improvement without
an invasion of the domain of ordinary
industries of the country or much ex
pense. ' Whether this measure would,
even if adopted, justify the abandon
ment of the plan for building a new
Penitentiary is a question that it is not
necessary to here discuss, but we shall
have a word to say on that subject at an
other time.

The English Papers of This Morning.
The Enquirer savs: The Secretary of the
Treasury is not willing that Congress
should obtain any information concerning
his Departmpnt sure such as he is willing
to irnp irt. The order is issi'ed to heads of
Bureaus and officers of the Treasury De
partment that "it is deemed advisable tluit
any information concerning the business of
this Department, intended for the use of
Congress or any of its Committees, be
transmitted thereto by or through this
office. Letters received by other officers
of this Department, asking for such in
formation, will he referred hereafter to
the Secretary, with the information
desired, for the purpose of such
transmission." The Secretary . intends
to control the public Information touch
ing the Treasury Department. The meet
ing in Columbus lust night will attract the
notice of the country in the various as
pects we have named, Sherman in the
house of his friends can kindle no warmth.
The name of a man in the Easternmost
State of the Union, who is known to be
cordial, gallant, warm-hearted, audacious, ,
magnetic, and is not chilling, is able to
throw the candidacy of John Sherman in
the shadow, in a Western State, not only,
nut in ;Shermun's own State. The South
ern Railroad is too much"bossed."Tbere are
too many great minda directing it. . A
company of good, solid business men
should have it, who in providing for them
selves would take equally good care of the
city's interests. Tutu it over to meu who
know how to handle it
The Commercial says: The true nolinv
of the Blaine and Sherman men mav 'be
stated in two plain propositions: I. Sher
man s iriends should aid limine with their
utmost strength to break tne- New York
delegation. 2. Blaine's friends should co
operate with those of Sherman in Ohio,
and content themselves with the chances
that Blaine shall be the second choice
of Ohio. Though the Grant men
crow about their unit-rule in Penn
sylvania, it is not possible that
the united vote of that State
shall he thrown for Grant. In other words,
the Blaine men will not vote for Grant,
and that is all there is of iu The New
York Convention will be broken as serious
ly as that of Pennsylvania, if the Blaine
and Sherinnn men w rk together as thev
should do. Ohio will not have a vote for
Grant, and the Illinois delegation will not
be solid fur him, though Logan and Wash
burne go to bed together. The five miles
of r ad from B yce's Station to Chattanoo

Station is not a terminal point. Go to

Mr. Parnell witu us to-day. In our judg

this country, but as the grandson of one of
the most famous of American naval offi

of Ireland who hold that the sufferings of
the Irish people culminating in a famine,
are the product of tuisgovernment, he is
entitled to be received with cordiality and
; eard with respect. If i is mission is as
charged, that of a political agitator, he is
in t e wrong country to make his talents
effective.

The Volksfreund says: Tilden is still be

clared that he will not o'nly work against
Tilden's nomination but also against his
election. That Kelly possesses great power'

last election. Iu spite of this we do not

CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER.
Editorial, December 24, 1879. ,
The following interviews elicited by a
Plain Dealer reporter show beyond reason
able doubt that the preparation in question
is really an article of high merit in fact a
reliable specific for a great number of dis
tressing complaints. The character and
standing of the gentlemen interviewed
many of them occupying prominent official
positions together with the hearty In
dorsement they accord the remedy, from
their own experience' and observation,
ought to commend it to every one. Fair
minded people will agree, we think, with
the proprietors, that there is nothing tin-
mercamiie or unproiessionai in Dringing
the article to the notice of the public
through the medium of the press.
Captain Henry M. Holzworth, Chief of
the Cleveland Detective Force, was ap
proached in his office in the City Hall, and
when subiected to a reouest for his nntnirm
of St Jacobs Oil readily answered: " It
Iirs done me a world of good. I was afflict
ed with a sort of combination of pleurisy
ana rnnumausm in me spine, winch grew
so bad that I became somewhat alarmed.
I never had such severe attack, and when
I was finally laid up with it, I hardly ex
pected to leave my oeci tor monius, jjoc
tors failed to benefit me. and acting on the
suggestion of a friend, I procured a bottle
of St. Jacobs Oil and' received surprising
renei on me urst application, i could
plainly feel the effects of the preparation
from the start. It heated the flesh, and
seemed to find its way to tiie seat of the
disease at once. To be brief, it completely
conquered all pain, and in a day or two I
was entirely free from tne complaint and
have since remained so."
John Vanek, Esq., first Assistant City
Clerk, was next called upon and said: ".My
roouier was a gunerer iroiu troublesome
pains in her limbs for years. Some time
ago she commenced to use St Jacobs Oil,
with a result t at is thus far So highly sat
isfactory that she has become a strong con
vert to the general faith in its curative
powers. I feel justified in saying that from
no other preparation has she received such
decided benefits,"
E. A. Sch'ellentrauger, Esq., member of
Education from the Seventh Ward, one of
oar well known pubtio spirited Germans,
was found in ins drug store. No. 717 St
Clair street After affirming that he sold
more of St Jacobs Oil than all other lini
ments combined be continued: "As for
testimonials, I can furnish you with any
quantity. For instance, this afternoon a
man made it bis special business to come
in and sing his praise of the remedy with a
good deal of enthusiasm. He is an em
ploye in the Pittsburg car shops, and was
a short time ago thrown against a casting
and so severely injured- in the hip that he
could not walk. After using a part of a
bottle of the Oil, he wus. as I have already
said, able to cotne in here to-day and assert
that it was the best thing he ever saw. A
lady on Wason street who suffered with
rheumatism of the most pronounced type,
particularly in her hands, is willing to
give tiie Oil the warmest recommenda
tion. By continued use the cords relaxed,
and she has once mure the free use of her
fingers. Similar reports are almost daily
received. I will on application. furnish the
address of scores of people who nave tested
the remedy and find it precisely what it
has been re, resented to be."
J. Jacki-on Smith, Esq., Councilman from
the Fifth Ward, receutr" recommended St,
Jacobs Oil to a prominent pulitUion of tuia
city, who was a martyr to rheumatic aches
.and pains. His shoulder wus so badly af
flicted tnat It was impossible lor him to u.-e
a pen. "He assured me," Mr. Smith said,
" that be was n.aterially benefited after the
first rubbing, and that by constant use
since be lias succeeded in entirely ridding
himself of tiie complaint I have inlro
dused the Oil in my funrly, believing that
it is Sn exceedingly good thing to huve
withiu reuon. My son has used it for head
ache with good success. The truth Is, by
the amount of talk one bears daily about
St Jacobs Oil, it seems as though it Has
destined to occupy a most important posi
tion in every bousenold." .
Mr. Charles P.. Vaupel, 'the well-known
pharmacist whose place of business is at

visited, and be also Informed our reporter

J. H. Peck, Esq., the City Hall druggist
said: "In sales St, Jaoobs Oil is ahead of

ing the Oil but a few days he was able to
go about his business again, and. a single
bottle cured him entirely," ,
The exten&ive wholesale drug houses of
Benton, Myers & Co. and Strong, Cobb At
Co. were visited.
Mr. Samuel Strong, the senior member of
the latter, stated that he himself had heard
very favorable reports regarding the effi
cacy of St Jacobs Oil. Said he: "It out
sells every proprietary medicine in oar
bouse," and he added, that in his long ex
perience (Mr. Strung has been in the drag
business here for over twenty years), be
never knew of an article that achieved so
great a popularity in so short a time.
Mr. Daniel Myers said that with hie
house (Benton, Myers dfc Co.) tho sales of
St Jacobs Oil were greater by far than those
of any other article of its kind, and that it
was iu fact one of the very best selling
articles they bad handled for many years.
When questioned as to the merits of the
remedy he referred the writer to one of
their employes who bad used it This lab
ter party informed the news gatherer that
about six weeks ago be had a severe attack
of rheumatism, with which he was laid urn
tor some days. The St Jacobs Oil was used
on him, and he stated with much satisfac
tion that it promptly banished ail pain and
discomfort His mother was also cured el
rheumatism by its use.
It sbouid be remarked here that thai
houses of Strong, Cobb & Co. and Benton.
Myers & Co. are two of the oldest and
largest in the West They have both ex
isted here for. nearly a quarter of a cen
tury and from their statements a correct
idea can be formed of the popularity oi
this great German remedy. .
Mr. Theodore Hively, tobacco and cigaf
dealer, located at 109 Seneca street was re
cently laid up with rneumatism so that he
couldn't walk. After a liberal use of va
rious preparations be purchased a bottle ot
St Jacobs Oil, and, to use his own expres
sion, "It was the first thing to afford him
anything life relief." He has since com
pletely recovered and now regaids the oil
as the foremost thing of its kind in exist- '
ence.
Mr. Byron Pope, formerly Deputy Sheriff;
is a gentleman who has put St. Jacobs Oil
to a thorough test A member of his fam
ily was afflicted with rheumatism of the
most severe character, particularly in her -shoulder
and the fingers of both hands.'
For days at a time she was unable to wove
the fingers without undergoing great pain,
and it was not until an application of this
Oil had been made that she experienced a
change for the better. She is now free
from the dreaded ailment, and does not
hesitate to accord full praise where it is
due. Mr. Pope, in his present position in
the business department of this office, has
succeeded in getting no inconsiderable por
tion of the Plain Dealer force to join the
"innumerable caravan," which, swelling
daily, shout aloud in fulsome praise ot the
virtues of this deadly enemy of pain. I
Our reporter was impressed with the
unanimity of publlo sentiment regarding
this remedy. All who were approached
spoke readily, many even enthusiastically,
of its excellent workings in the most
serious cases of bodily ailment "Never
saw anything like it," and "all that it is
claimed to be," were the most common
remarks from gentlemen whose utterances
carry weight Ail in all, when summed
up it must be plain ' to every fair miuded
man that never in the history of our
country has a medical 'discovery bee a
brought before t e public and accepted
with such universal expressions of favor as
this great German remedy.
