Thomas Edison. the lnventor Of lhe
Photograph.

In lecture on the photograph, in Philadel-
phia, DIR. Clelland, of Chicago. gave brief sketch
OF the career of its inventor, Thomas Edison.
The interest attaching to Edison's career prop
erIy begins with his experience as a telegraph
operator. q pursuit which he learned IN Canada.
He obtained position as operator IN railroad
Office in one of the small towns 10 the DOMINION.
Que night the agent at the station was absent
and train was standing on the track Edison
telegraphed for orders to what to do with this
Train, and received reply Ito hold it," Before
the reply had been received. however, he had
allowed the tram to depart. and as result, two
trains were moving 10 different directions on
single track at the same time. Fortunately, the
engineers, as the trans we're coming together,
saw the danger 10 time to avert the catastrophe,
and thus saved the passengers the necessity oil

unsuccessful experiment of two trains trying to

suficient.-McGreDOr NeWs.
That seems sound. McGregor peo-
pie ought to buy of responsible home
dealers. who can be readily reached in
case anything is wrong; who will keep
the money circulating at home, and
build up home interests with it. They
could we'll afford to pay even little
more for the cloth than to others This
reminds us that perhaps it is the duty
of McGregor business men to get their
printing of responsible home publishers,
and thus help to sustain and strengthen
valuable home institutions. And if it
is the duty of McGregor men to do this,
isn't it the duty of Lansing and Wau-
kon and DEBORAH and Postville and
West Union and Strawberry Point and
Manchester and Independence men to
do the same thing? And it it is the du-
ty and for the interest OF Independence
people to have their printing done at
home, can it be morally fair and profess
sional to send keen agent away over
there to induce the people not to do SO?
If Mr.. Hatch's practice were a little
dull would he send an agent over to
Delhi to examine the court dockets and
inform litigants that he could attend to
their business better and cheaper than
their local attorneys? Why not?-
Would DR.. Hamilton send an agent over
to West Union to look up the sick and
advise them to try him in preference to
their home physicians. Why not? What
sort of lawyers and doctors is it that do
this kind of work? -Elkader Journal.

BLESSINGS.
.ooKs. or BYRON TOWNSHIP.

ny MART A. BROOKS, OF BYRON TOWNSHIP.
God bless the printers everywhere;
Bless their talents good and rare;
Bless their papers weekly given,
They seem like blessings sent from heaven.
Bless the preachers who strive to give
The word of God that souls may live:
Bless their earnest. fervent prayer
For erring mortals everywhere.
Bless the farmers honest life;
Bless his children and his wife;
Bless the labor of his hand
That scatters plenty through our land.
Bless the merchants that give good measure,
They can eat and drink ut leisure;
But there is no blessings for the cheat,
Who stealeth both his bread and meat.
Bless the doctors as they plod their way,
And grant they may get their pay;
Poverty they do not fear
If blessed with patients through the year.
We know that lawyers need blessing,
As to their clients they closely cling;
Help them to more clearly see,
And lastly help them to their fec.
God bless us one and all;
Bless the crumbs that to each doth fall
From the giver of perfect gifts,
Who gently every burden lifts.

the ush-Rogers feud. Upon the occa-

warrant issued by a justice in Elgin, the
prisoner was escorted to the United
States House, at West Union, by large
armed force, who, during his stay in the
house, stationed themselves upon the
stairs and in the halls, permitting no
one to pass without stating his business.
Subsequently, Rush was removed to the
Descent House, under a strong guard.
Here Rush was taken in custody by the

element was intense, all the conditions

The State Register, assuming that the
President has abandoned his former pol
icy and become a convert to the crazy,
bowling "stalwartism" of which it is so
conspicuous an example, proceeds to
praise him in the soldering style, which
is another of it's characteristics. Where
as. few months since, it could not find
words scornful or venomous enough
with which to decorate Mr.. Hayes, it
now is all honey and blandness toward
him, and this simply because he reiter-
ates in his message, what he has said a
thousand times before, that he intends
to enforce the laws to the extent of his
authority, whenever violated. That the
President has not changed his views, or
modified his policy on this point, is
shown by his late message, in which he
says:
In the meanwhile it becomes the duty of the
executive and judicial departments of the gov
eminent, each in its province, to inquire into
and punish violators of the laws of the United
States which have occurred 4 can out repeat
auat is said in this connection in ma last message,

shall not hesitate to put forth, and am unwil-
ling to forego renewed appeal to the iegisla,
lures, the courts, the executive authorities ana
the people of the States where these wrongs
have been perpetrated, to give their assistance
towards bringing to justice the offenders and
preventing a repetition of the crimes.
Here the President distinctly states
that what he now says regarding the
bringing to justice of offenders against
the laws, is but a repetition OF what he
said one year ago, and, furthermore, he
reiterates one of the essential points in
his policy, which was the appeal to the
Southern courts and people, for coop
Grafton in righting the wrongs complain
ed of. Clearly the President has not
changed, but it looks as though the
Register has come to realize that it's re-
cent attitude of rabid hostility toward
the Republican President has not been
profitable, or added to its reputation
for wisdom and honesty, and that it is
only too glad of pretext to hedge on
that policy. OF course it would not be
characteristic for it to candidly ac-
knowledge mistake.
