A wonderful Printing Press.

Hoes perfecting and folding press
seems to reach the very ultima thule
of newspaper production. The recent
improvements of the Hoe Company
resulted in securing rate Of 50, coo co.
pies an hour, but y still more imp0r-
tant addition has been u.ade to the
machine, consisting of the combining
with il of small folding mechanism
OF novel design, which puts out Of use
room full of machinery and peforms
the work of twelve men. The entire
process Is automatic. A roll Of paper
Is hung ON horizontal axis over the
press, the end of the big ribbon Is push-
ed into the machine, lever starts ths
revolutions, aud rs the roll unwiHds,
complete copies, neatly folded and
ready Tor the mail, issue in two streams
at the end of the machine, no hand
touching them from tae time the roll
Is swung into It's place till the
folded papers are gathered up. The
nominal speed OF the new Perfecting
and Folding Press IL about 5000 an
hour greater than that OF the earlier
Perfeciing Press. But since the work
of the rew one includes folding, lis
real spea,i exceeds even this high fig-
ure by lust the time required to toid
An entire edition. 1t is beyond ali
sort Of comparison, therefare, the last

A Bell Blast.

Governor Bishop can best tell why Belltook
it into his official head yesterday to eclipse
any of his predecessors, and he did. He is
the most distinguished b!ackguard and ruff
fan that the third State in the Union can
boast of. He, without any more reason than
one of his class generally exercises, attacked
Senator Forrest, because the Senator did not
see fit to vote an increase of salary to his son,
Sam. Bell The assault can not be, attoned
for by an apology. No excuse will relieve
the burly bully. He will whine, beg and
threaten, but he should be deprived from all
revenue from the State. Tie office Of Rail.
road Commissioner should be abolished, and
at once. An example should be made Of. him.
What protection has any member Of the Leg,
islature from such brutesif he is permittetl1to
escape without severe lessonf sTlrc1ofilee is
superfuous, and was only made to fill with
political pets. 1t should be Speedily done
away with, thereby saving the State some
thousands of dollars and cutting a political
leech's throat at the same time Gin Eng. 81

India. On the other hand, the facilities for
travel are 50 good through large part of the
Indian peninsula, and the basis of supplies is
at most points so near, that any advance of

way. The eventual leadership in Asia may
be one of the matters involved in an Anglo

The Exhibition Open.

There seem to be two inVariablt
rules for the opening of worlds fairs
they are never ready and it always
rains. The new Paris Exhibition Is NJ
exception. Marshal MacMahOn deciar.
ed it open Wednesday and marched
through the long halls between piles oi
packing boxes and rows OF half-ar
ranged show cases, attended by .
brilliant escort Of nOtables, while 9
vast crowd Of;enthusiEstic Frenchmen
covered tho slopes OF the Trocadero
and the banks OF the Seine, and bore
with patience the spring shower and
the drippings Of their neighbors'
umbrellas. ia.
For France the Exhibition is q great
triumph. 1t shows that her splendid
Industrial resourceslhxve not been Grip
pied by her disastrous war with Germ
any or by the violence and uncertainty
of her home politics, and it proves 10
the world that she Is still pre-eminent
in countless fields of art and manu-
factures. One half of the immense
building in the Champ de Mars is oc-
cupied by French exhibitors. The
other hslf.is divided among the follow
ing nations, named in the order of the
space they occupy: Great Britain,
Austria a-Hungary, Belgium, Russia,
United States, Switzerland, Italy,
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Nor.
way, Portugal, Central and South
American States classed together,
Greece, Denmark, Luxemburg, Moroc-
CO, Tunis, Persia, Siam, Monaco, and
San Marino. Although it promises to
~ t~-illio.Nl,, ,1k
believe that as whole the Paris Ex-
hibitiou will excel In beauty, variety
or grandeur our own Centen nial Fair.
The site is not to be compared with
Fairmount Park. Except the steep
slope Of the Trocadero and a little space
between the Main Building end the
Seine, there Is no outdoor space to
match the hills and valleys, forests,
glens, lakes, and sunny, green spaces
that were embraced within the vast
enclosure at Philadelphia. The prin-
cipal ediffce Is somewhat larger Than
was that at the Centennial, and the
striking structure that crowns the TrO-
cadero height Is more imposing than
Memorial Hall; But the Machinery
Hall Is inferior, there is nothing to
compare with the fsiry'like HOrliculi'
ural Palace or the huge Agricultural
Hall, and the number OF minor edificss
Is comparatively small. OF the merits
of the goods exhibited we cannot speak
until they have been opened and ar
ranged and the correspondents have
made their reports. One thing is
C 'rtAin, however, the display of works
Of art will far excel that at the Centen'
nial. A French exhibition would be
nothing il not strong in this depart

THE Detroit Free Press gives an ac-
count of the working of the telephone
during the burning out of Its building.
The telephone in the editorial rooms
communicated with the residences Of
the managing editor, mile and half
away. When the fire struck the
editorial rooms, the bell at the residence
began to ring violently. As the fire
increased to intensity the ringing of
the bell became more imgetuous, PEAL
ing In gusts as the fire -eemed to surge
around the companion bell In the burn
ing building. 1t WAC an embodiment
OF Poe's lines on "rhe Bells" where
the raising and the quelling of the fire
could be calculated by the rising and
the falling of the anger of the bells. AT
last the clamor of the telephOneic bell
became unbearable to those in the room
and the bell WAS muffied with cotton,
which partly stopped the alarm. But
here the strangest part of the tele
phones action comes in. From the
speaking tube came the rear Of the fire,
and 1t would seem that the swish of
the water from the engine, and the
pouring of the foods from the roof
could be plainly heard. Tie cracking
OF the burning timbers and at lasi the
crash of floors aud falling partitions
came, and every sound of the confi4gra.
ton in all its infections faithful re
produced, and the sudden stoppage oi
all sound showed that communication
was broken, and the voice OF the
wonderful instrument stilled by the
scOrchinY flames, nH

ATramp Saves a Train.

A few pays ago. says the st. Louis Repub-
lican, tramp boarded freight train on the
st. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Road,
and started for st. Joseph, Mo. He was put
off the train al Cover, and after the train
moved out he started on for that city. He
had proceeded but short distance when he
discovered a broken rail, which doubtless
snapped in twain as the freight train passed
over it in safety. 1t was on high, dangerous
curve in the road, and taking in the situation,
the tramp remained to flag the first train to
avert danger and the probable loss of life.
The first train proved to be passenger train
bound for St. Joseph. He tagged il in time,
and the train and its load of human freight
were saved The tramp was taken on board
and large purse Of money made up for him.
He gave his name and residence as Sam. b.
Kiln, Republican City, Kansas.

The Republican voter of independent pro-
clivities has an arduous time Of it trying to
make up his mind to vote just once for The
Democratic party. Just as he feels almost
willing to make the critical experiment, the
Democratic leaders do something either dis
honest, or stupid, or both, that he turns back
in disgust and says the Republican party,
with all the faults its enemies can invent
against it, is better and safer than the Demo-
cratic party ever was or will be. How can
he vote for a party which supports in solid
mass the Southern rades on the treasury,
stands behind every measure which is calcu-
lated to injure the industrial prosperity of
the country, sanctions every disastrous fnan-
cial scheme, and sends agents throughout the
length and breadth of the land TO buy up
every impecunious Republican sorehead who
wishes to confess his own or other peoples
sins? Then he looks at Glover, and adds:
"How can trust party which is so full of
rottenness that even its own attempts at
Investigation reveal nothing but its own sinsi"
