WELL TIMED LIBERALITY.

Mr.. r. P. Yorkiston, the agent of the
Campbell Printing Press and .Manufac-
turing Company, paid call at this Office
yesterday. for the purpose of showing a
plan Of what his company has done for
the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
A large three-story building has been
erected at the expense Of the company,
On the grounds, which will be devoted
exclusively to the use and accommoda-
ton OF the patrons Of press manufacturers.
The first or ground floor will be occu-
pied by the company for the exhibition of
Its machinery. In one corner large
four-cylinder press will be put up, on
which will be worked off the Philadelphia
daily Herald This vast machine is con-
strncted to print fifty thousand papers an
hour, requiring only man and boy to
work it. The paper is placed on cylin-
ders and reeled off by the ponderous
machine, coming out printed on both
sides, and cut at the outcome with CON-
pIete accuracy.
The second story is fitted up into apart
ments for the accommodation of printers
and publishers privilege which will be
given to no other class Of people. 1t will
possess all the conveniences Of first class
hotel, except perhaps restaurant, but it
is near Agricultural Hall and other eating
houses, SO as to render it unnecessary to
60 to the city for meals. The upper
story will be occupied as composition |
room for the.daily Herald.
The company has spent fifty thousand |
collars upon this building, partly to have
! suitable place to show their machinery,
md also to receive their friends and Gus
omers. Mr.. Yorkiston informs us that
'everal well known journalists have al
eady picked out their apartments, where
hey will establish their headquarters for

the season. He also extended polite in
vitation to the representatives of the Re-
PUBLICAN to visit the establishment in
case they go to Philadelphia.
This show of iberality may be fled as
an answer to the charge against the bust
ness men of New York city, that they re-
gard the centennial exposition with feel
ing of jealousy because it is not to be held
in their own place. Whatever ground there
may be for such an imputation, so far the
Campbell Press Company do not seem to
be included. But they work for the
whole world, and not alone for one city,
however great it may be.
