PROFITABLE PRINrING.-The publishers of the
Globe printed the sixth Census documents, and
received for it $137 900. At the regular rate of
Journeyma wages il cost S22.O74 leaving the
handsome profit of Sll4.929. Well may tho cd
TORS the Globe spend time and money in advo-
eating the doctrine of free trade.
Much has been said by the locos in respect to
money paid to Gales 81 Soaton. They were c..
ectcd printers under joint resolution Of Congress
passed on tho Bird of March 1919. fixing the price
to be paid, which was signed by the President.
as the regular enactmcnts of Congress That
law has never been legally repealed and of
course is in full force. True, the Wings did pass
a mere resolution reducing the price of printing.
but law signed by the President cannot be re-
poalcd by simple resolution. The repeating
law must be in the samo form of the cnacting
law. Had it been possible for Gales & Seaton
to have sued tho governmcnt,thev could have coll
octod their bill under the law of 1919. This was
found to be the case by Congress, and honest
men they allowed the printers what they could
have obtained in a suit at law.
We believe the price of printing is too high
extravaganty high. and that the law of 1910
should be repealed amended. and entirely dis
connected with tho political press.
1t further appears from documents that the ev-
ira printing paid for to Gales & Scaton from the
4th of December 1913 to the Doth March 1914
was s., 1866, and the amount of extra printing
paid for to Blair & Rivcs, printers to the loco
House of Representatives, during the same time
| amounted to 1922 800. The great profit in
printing arises from the large number of docu-
mcnts printed. and for that reason, if the senate
should reduce its price of printing ID per cent.
the House should reduce its least 40 per cent

NEW YORK LOCOFOCO NOMI-
NATIONS.

A Democratic Convention Of County DEL
egates for the State of New York, was held
on Wednesday last, at Syracuse, for the
nomination of candidates for Governor and
other State Officers, and for Electors of
President and Vice President. The selcc-
ton of a candidate for Governor likely to
command the united support of the party.
has evidently been "A matter of much diff
Guilty. Gov. Bouck, who has held the office
but sing lie term, was entitled to expect a
denomination, but the party appear to have
been satisfied that they stood no chance Of
success, but by bringing into the field a more
popular candidate. Mr.. Wright of the Sem
ate of the United States, was named some
time since through the public papers, as the
most available candidate, but the nominal
ton thus made, was declined by him, as per-
emplorily as was that for the Vice Presiden-
cy, by the Baltimore Convention. He has
twice formally declared his unwingness to
be a candidate. The Convention have, not
wl,hstanding, formally nominated him-and
although his acceptance has not been re-
ceived, the Albany Argus says, that his ac-
cep,ance sought not to be doubted, and is
not to be do ub,ed, for moment"

positive asseveratinn, might, notwithstanding
this assurance, perhaps be justified in enter

IMPORTANT INVENTION.

The conversion of wood into iron and
stone for railroad purposes is exciting much
interest in England. lflhe experiment bears
the test of thorough tial, it will add immense
" TO the facility of constructing railroads.
We hope the engineers aud those concerned
IN the building of railroads will not delay in
testing the value ofthis new discovery. The
following extract of "A letter from Prof.
Wright, Dated London, June Is, 1914, and
published in the Boston Chronicle Of June
TO- will show how the matter is regarded by
intelligent men Of England:
But lately, good deal is said about wood, and
a patent has been taken out for converting it in
to iron, should rather say into stone, by means
of iron. This me,aii-cd, or rather t0SSHi-ed
wood, has been used IN constructing the termi-
nus of the Dover railway and il really seems to
have both the properties of stone and iron
Rails of il laid down at NauXhall, for experiment
endured a travel equal to that of a year on the
most thronged railway, without any perceptible
Wear--not even the saw marks of the timber
being removed. Il is supposed that timber thus
prepared will not be subject to rot or decay of
any kind. I his, time will test. If this proves
true, the invention Will be Of immense lmpor-
lance to the United States, where timber is yet
pIen'ler. ana ron ScarCer lNdn mere. ne pro-
cess of preparing the timber is simply this: the
pieces, after having been fitted by the carpenter
or joiner for their places, are introduced INTO an
immense iron cylinder, which is then exhausted
by an air pump, A solution of suphate of iron
is then injected. which Immediately enters into
the exhausted pores of the wood. The wood Is
then withdrawn, aud again placed in a similar

uble sulphate of lime or gypsum, within the
wood and the muriaIe Of ron, the other new
compound, goes about It's business. 50 The
wood becomes thoroughly impregnaed witt
stone, as hard as rock and yet as Tough as i
was before. The expense of preparing 2OO'
seepers, enough for a mile OF railway, is not t.

have expressed their confidence IN the invention
and the process is employed on many OF the gov
eminent works, What an invention for on
