The New York Times points out the
various devices by which the lobbyist
reaps a large income Here is one
A company, let us say, applies to
him to get a bill passed He tells the
agents he shall want at least $4,000.
The money is paid and he goes to Albany
with it, and pays out say $1,000 among
the bribable members. The remaining
$4,000 he quietly puts into his own
pocket. If the bill passes the company
are satisfied and never ask a question
about the affair. If it does not pass
they may ask questions, but they will
get no information out of the lobbyist,
who goes off with his seventy.fve per
cent, plumber comfortably slowed away
in bis pockets. 1t is game in which
there is scarcely the least probability of
his being found out-certainly not one
chance in a thousand"

We believe the prohibtionists in
Michigan have made a blunder in NOM
MATING the Rev. G.. B. Jocelyn, Presi.
dent Of Albion College, for governor
shin of the State, and, too, this belief is
nerfectly consistent with our perfect re-
snect aud love for the nominee. 1t
would seem. since DR.. Jocelyn is com.
mitted to other work, that the prohibi-
ton party do not expect to elect him,
and it savors of trihing to 60 into a
campaign confessing at the start that the
whole matter is a matter of form. Men
should not be expected to thus throw a.
way their votes with an advance assur-
auce that they were to be thrown away.
Such trifing accounts for the just about
pardonable fact that earnest men cling
TO the older parties even after the older
parties have ceased to be worthy of such
voters. Then again DR.. Jocelyn has
been sincere, active agitator for tenn
perance, and his nomination makes 1t
possible for demagogues to convince many
people that the whole temperance move
ment is for the benefit of men who want
Office. We alude to this very point when,
in reply to a paragraph in the Detroit
Better Age, we said that temperance
should emphasize prohibition " rather
than party. We shall tirelessly aid,
and confidently expect, success for new
ticket when party is wisely organ
lied TO win "Go in to win !" should be
the watchword. Then nominate some
good man who has acquaintance through
out the state, and has done somthlng to
warrant State trust by reason OF some
secular political thing he has done to win
State attention. Dr. Jocelyn is not that
man (we leave it % Yourself, doctor, and
the present party is not that party, since
il has surrendered victory to begin with
Let us stop joking and 90 to work. The
The other parties hope, of course, that
such trifing will con:iuue.-Chrt:. -Ado.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an arti-
Gle on how mistakes happen in news
papers" figures up the number of types
used in newspaper the size of the Eagle
at 600 900, i. e., the actual number OF
bits o. metal arranged and re-arranged
every day in preparing a newspaper OF
that size for the press. We suppose
few people think of the printing trade
as one of the most exact and particular
of all the handicrafts, but it Is. In
making type, variations that might De
allowed in the finest machinery would
render the type useless. 1t Is very
rarely that type furnished by two separ'
ate foundries can be used together with
out a great deal of trouble, though they
try to make it after the same standard.
We read once in a while of wonderful
piece of cabinet or mosaic work, contain
ing $1,000, 5000 or $4,000 pieces, the
maker of which has spent months, or
even years of, labor in producing it, and
people 90 to see it as great curiosity
but the most elaborate and carefully
fitted piece of work of this kind ever
made dose not compare with that which
the printer does every day, for minute
ness of detail and accuracy of fitting.
The man who does the first is looked
upon as an artist marvel of skill,
and if one hundred of bis pieces are put
in wrong side up, or turned the wrong
way, it is not observed in the general
effect-but if the printer, in fitting ten
times as many pieces together in a sin.
gle day, puts one where another should
be, or turns one the wrong way, every
body sees it and is amazed at " the
stupid carelessness of those printers. "

calculated to impose on a certain class
of minds; hence, it is we'll that the

against the liquor traffic. If alcohol is

From the Republic Magazine.

In compliance with Congressional &C
ton between 600 and 700 male aud re.
nile employees were discharged from
the government departments in Wash.
ington on the Isl day of July. The
increased amount of business in all the
departments, caused by the late pro
tracted war, necessarily augmented the
clerical force to more than quadruple It's
former maximum; ana for years after
active war operations had ceased there
was ery'little abatement i'll She amount
of labor requiring prompt attention n
each division of the Government With
the lapse of time, however, the amount
of labor required began to diminish, and
for some time past yearly reductions
have been made in the number of clerks
employed. The last session of Congress,
in an earnest spirit of economy and re-
trenchmcnt authorized thorough ex
animation into the operations of each
department, with view to further re.
auctions in the clerical force to the low.
est number consistent with the actual
necessities of the work. This resulted
in the removal indicated, nearly one.
half of the number being female en-
ployes in the engraving and printing and
other divisions of the treasury. Each
of those discharged received cash pay
ment equal to two months salary; yet
the removal of dependant widows, not
a few of them with children supported
wholly by the monthly earnings of the
mother, will result in many cases, it is
feared, in painful solicitude and actual
distress. 1t is hoped that the heads OF
departments have Disseminated as much
as possible in favor of those cases, and
allowed the political ak to fall only
where the blow would be least felt.
Male employees of industrious habits who
have received their discharge will find
no serious difficulty in turning their at.
tention to other profitable employments.
Quite number of the more Industrious
and economical young men who have
been several years in office, we are in.
formed, have applied themselvs during
their leisure evening and morning hours
to the study of the law and other pro.
fessions, and have already graduated,
with small sum &C accumulated to their
credit in the savings bank, sufficient to
enable them, with the education they
have acquired, to enter at once upon
useful and profitable business. To such
the change will ultimately prove pos
tive gain

The idea prevailed in olden times
that women were only fit to attend to
domestic affairs, such as cooking, sew

a hirher state OF culture the women
have developed a capacity for SCIENTIFIC
Investigation and discovery that proves

that must prove of great utility.
She cut of an inch of the main bud
