Early History of the Steel Pen.

The early history of the steel pen is
Gu riously obscure. The most diligent
search fails to discover the first maker or
the earliest date of this implement.
There were steel, or rather iron pens made
we believe, in Holland as early as the
middle of the seventeenth century. To-
ward the close of the last century Mr..
Harrison, an ingenious Birmingham
mechanic, made steel pens for DR..
Priestly. One of them is nothing more
than tube turned out of q fiat strip of
metal, with the sides and points filed
away in the shape of a pen. The first
actual supply of such pens, it is believ-
ed (the authority for the statement is no
more than local tradition) was made by
a Sheffield workman whose name is for
gotten. From time to time, as far back
as 1909, steel pens, hand-fashioned, turn
ed and filed, were made as curiosities or
luxuries for presents; but it was not
until about 1924 that such instruments
were produced in considerable quanti-
ties, as regular articles of manufacture.
Mr. James Perry was the first manu-
facturer, but the process was tedious and
costly The metal was steel rolled out
of wire, and for this Mr.. Perry paid as
much as seven shillings pound. To
the frat person he employed he gave
five shillings for making each pen; and
even when the trade had become regular
he gave for some years as much as thirty
six shillings gross to his yorkmen.
Now, thanks to machinery snd modern
improvements, pens-not very good,
perhaps, but good enough to write with
can be made and solt at profit for
three cents per gross l-Nep Yorl

tions the right of the Federal
Government to make and enforce whole
some laws relating to the exercise Of the
right of suffrage He declares A signiG-
" cant fact in connection with our recent
" election Is the organized attempt of the
" Federal authorities to interfere with the
suffrage Of our citizens, and to decide as
to the qualifications Of voters at the
polls. lie also takes the extreme ground
that Suffrage is The peoples right, and by
" our organic law its regulation is COM
"mitted to the State authorities In
such q declaration tho Governor pays but a
poor compliment to his own knowledge of
the constitutional law of the nation. He
cannot be ignorant of the fact that suffrage
is not right except rs the law makes it
such lie must know that the privilege Of
voting, which vests the right of suiliagc, is
even now only o limited privilege, for
women, minors, Indians not taxed, and
the foreign born, until they are endowed
with it by the law, do not share
the right of suffrage, and they
compose portion of the people
of the United States and hence he labors
under an error when he declares suffrage to
be " Il peoples right" 1t is y right of only
n part of the people, and that right is created
by law which does not apply to all alike
Then, again. this Democratic Governor is
either lnmcntably ignorant Of the fact OF
grossly misrcprescnts it, that the matter OF
regulating suffrage so FIR as it relates to the
choice of President aud members Of Congress
is assumed by the organic law of the Gov
ernmcnt of the United States while thc
power to provide for enforcing the Constitu-
tion resides peculiarly with Congress. II
Governor RoBINsoN is ignorant of these
facts it is lamcntabc and if he is not ig.
norant on these points the more is the pity
that he should have placed himself in thi,
attitude. Like all Bourbons the Governor
is thoroughly blinded by the bigotry OF
/ party, and if he was the executive of n late
| Confederate State he would out-lIEROI
| HERoD in his devotion to the dogmas o
State sovereignty and The right of secession
but the people OF his State are loyal, anC
he is compelled by his surroundings to keel

INDEPENDENT soyEREICNTy.


Each OF the several States which seeded
and went into rebellion against the author
ity Of the General Government, in their sur
render to That authority seem TO have re-
served to themselves the right to consider
State authority as superior to the Federal
mcnt Under this clearly-dcGncd operation
Of State sovereignty the Southern States pre-
tend to hold iratcrual relations within the
Federal Union. a mere sham--a fragrant
fraud in the eyes Of all that is loyal and
honorable. Professor GREENER, of the
Howard University, delivered an address on
the occasion of celebrating the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation, on the LIST inst, in which
we find the following very just and sensible
uttcranccs:
And this Is what the Southern States are
Independent sOvcreigutiCs They obey no ma
tional law, except such us suits them. They
decide who are American citiHcns They re
sist our internal-rCveuuC laws. They drive
OF citizens because Of political opinions. Thcil
jurics refuse to convict political murdGrers
even when Chief Justice prcsidcs and they
acquit moonshincrs, who only kill United
states revenue Officers. InCy ulcWte WnON
the President shall appoint to national ollico'
in their States. They strive to indict aud ar
rest members Of Congress. They demand now
from Northern States supposed criminals .ins
as thoy used to chain court-houscs and max,
Northern sycophnnts their slave-catchers
They enact statutes intended to subyort UntcC
States law. By shot.guns, tissue ballots, unC
rilc.cluhs they deprive a majority Of the yotcr
Of lhcir rights, and what remedy have We who
do not possess so much autonomy anl scll-goy-
CnmCut2
This is true bill, which cannot be tra-
versed with truth and justice. The picture
as Ear as II goes, is faithful. Such is State
sovereignty, which owes no allegiance tc
the Union, the Government, the Constitu.
ton and the laws of the United States, and
which is constantly raising its proud heat
within the Union, aud in defiance of Fed,
eral law and authority, though pretending
to be Of the Union under mock submission
to Federal power. This is the poison in tn,
system that must be ncutralizcd oreXpurget
before tho national body can ever enjoy

THERE are some very siclIy excuses
trmped up just now to avert public indig-
nation over the conduct of the Cork author
titles toward General GRANT, The last is
that the General landed first in Ireland, and
postponed his visit Of respect there until he
had visited many other important points.
This is little too thin inasmuch as it has
not preiudiccd him anywhere else in Ire
land. The best thing to do now is to leave
the matter just where the Corkonians put it
when they tool, action.

GOVERNOR R0nINsoN's MESSAGE.

Governor ROBINSON, of New York, pre-.
sents u very 1attering picture Of the condi-
ton of the indebtedness Of his State in his
annual message. He announces the total
extinction Of the general fund and bounty
debts, the freedom of the State from any
loatiug debt, prosperity in the finances, de-
creasng taxation, the complete success of
the canal and state prison reforms, good
management of the State insane asylums,
.he reappearonce Of the money Of the Con-
stitution, aud q slow but certain revival OF
business. After thus freeing his mind ON
the financial and other conditions of State
affairs the Governor cannot repress the ris-
ing tide of Bourbon politics within himself,
and is carried by it into the realms Of State
sovereignty, where he places himself beside
the executives of the late Confederate
States, where State sovereignty is taught in
the common schools and The dag Of the late
Conlederacy challenges higher degree of
love and admimtAn than the Star
Spangled Banner, lie boldly ques-
