The Manufacture of Cabinet Organs

Daniel F. Beatty, proprietor of the
famous Beatty Organ Mandatory, at
Washington, n. j., was recently at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. To a Tribune
reporter he gave some facts as to the
growth of the cabinet organ business.
"Any information that | may give
YOU he said, must necessarily be per.
sonal and relating more to my particu
lar business, but to that you are wei.
come. On Oct. 9, 1879, ground was
broken for my factory at Washington,
N. j., which was completed and occu-
pied by Jan. l, 1880. An acre of land
was attached. The monthly sale of or.
gans then averaged about $50. Today
we have thirteen acres of land, WE'LL
nigh covered with buildings and lum-
Der, and the monthly shipments reach
1000 organs, apart from the sale of
pianos. Upward of 1000, 900 feet Of
choice woods are kept constantly in
stock, 100000 feet being required each
month for merely boxing the instru-
ments. Our orders come from all parts
of this country, from South America,
England, the Continent and Australia.
In the factory we employ 800 men.
You may Judge of the demand of cabi-
net organs by the fact that an organ is
made every ten minutes.
Realizing the immense profits made
by middlemen, | determined to have
no agents but to sell directly to the
people, thus enabling them to buy at a
low price. Extensive advertising has
helped to increase the trade"
Mr.. Beatty in eight years has
amassed large fortune. He is thirty
five years old, and a bachelor. Hi:
fellow townsmen have elected him tC
the Office of Mayor for five consecutive
years.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from active
practice, had placed in his hands by an
East India Missionary the formula of a
simple vegetable remedy for the speedy
and permanent cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all
throat and lung affections, also a a pos
tive and radical cure for general De-
bility and all nervous complaints, after
having thoroughly tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases,
feels it his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows. The recipe will

necessary, and inefficient clerks, from whom
the complaints usually come, should be
weeded out. The Post says:
''Mr. Dudley is charged with an enormous
responsibility. Congress gave him all the
clerks deemed necessary and has put into
his hands all the money he has asked for
He is expected to go on as rapidly as can
safely be done with the immense work of
settling the arrearages. 1t is to his credit
that he has put up high standard and re-
quires his clerks to come up to it. There
are many thousands of men and women who
are capable of doing what is called for, and
would be very thankful for a chance to do it,
As to rigid rules, we have always observed
that good discipline promotes the comfort of
those who like order and facilitates the equal
distribution and prompt performance of
work"

whom must have been unemployed had the
ted to do this work for US. 1t is admitted on
all sides that the war tariff need no longer
obtain. We are beginning to compete with
all the world. 1t is only advisable now that
no sweeping and sudden change be made,
lest ten thousand American industries be
crippled, if not actually killed, and a million
American workmen be thrown out of EN-
ployment. Our Federal expenses are still
very large, and if the entire burden be sud
denly placed directly on the shoulders of
our own people without corresponding relief,
incalcuable harm must inevitably result.
1t should be borne in mind that the con-
dition of business is so much bet
ter in America than elsewhere that
as the CourierJ Journal admits, Hundreds of
thousands of foreign laborers come into the
country every year" The question soon to
be decided is, whether this desirable state of
affairs shall continue. Freetraders because
of few minor and inevitable inconsistent
cies, declare that the whole system shall be
abolished; while Republicans, realizing the
benefit already reaped, and wishing still to
make the condition of American working
men better than that of their fellows in other
parts of the world, are anxious to so shape
the tariff that it will at once help pay the
public debt and lift much of the burden from
the industries that are thereby enabled to
give employment at living wages to more
than two millions of our people. That is
the attitude of the party, and that is the at
titude in which it will remain.

THE Superior Court judges yesterday passed
upon the questions involved in the law sought
to be set aside because of an irregularity in
its passage and approval. The case is known
as the stationery contract" The only point
of general interest is the position of the court
upon the entirely absurd claim made in the
interest of Democratic revolutionists, that
the Legislature may pass laws up to the hour
of final adjournment, and present them to
the Governor, despite the constitutional pro-
vision that no bill shall be presented to the
Governor during the last two days of the
session. Judges Taylor and Walker
hold, with emphasis, that the consti-
tutional prohibition is in the interest
of the public, and must be strictly obeyed.
We commend our Dem ocratic friends, es-
pecially the Sentinel and its little marion
ette, Moody, of DeKalb, to the words of
Judge Taylor, man whose Democracy can
not be questioned, and whose legal ability
has been Endorsed by the Democracy in a
nomination for the Supreme bench and in
an election to the Superior Court There
9hould be an end to the gibbering idiocy of
passing bill on the sixty-first day of legis-
Iatiye session.

AN Italian sailor in Philadelphia has had a
streak OF luck which will enable him to retire
from seafaring life for season if he desires.
He had been in this country for a few weeks,
having come over from Italy on brig carrying
a cargo of marble aud rags. In a bundle of rags
thrown out to him one day to be used in rubbing
machinery the thrifty sailor found an old coat
which he thought could do further service. He
Kept the garment, and on looking over his ward
robe, last week. preparatory to another voyage,
attracted by rip In the lining of the coat.
On examination he drew from the back what
had appeared to be padding, but which proved
TO be notes on the Bank of France amounting to
$4,000 francs, or about 1923, 900. The Italian
though greatly excited, had the notes verified
as genuine and then prudently deposited them
in a bank before making his discovery known TO
his friends, of whom he Immediately discovered
a great number among his countrymen. During
the evening he was the center of an admiring
throng Of Italians who called to congratulate
and make inquiries.

nicality escapes the gallows or the peniten-
made the subject of coarse jokes at the ex-
pense of criminals awaiting trial. The at
tempt was made to make money out of the
infamy of Jesse James by carting his widow
about the country to be stared at at so
much a head, and Guiteau sought to
raise means by selling his photo
graph and autograph; but to the lasting
credit of the American public, both these
schemes failed of success. These were GER
tainly in bad taste. But what must be
thought Of the Emma Bond case, when the
unfortunate girl consents to allow her photo
graphs to be advertised for sale? 1t seems
incredible but the following card has APP
peared in the advertising columns of the
Chicago Times
''PERSONA-Emma Bonds Pictures-by re-
peated urging of friends, Emma Bond has per-
mitted her pictures cabinet size) to be sold
Any orders, lnclosing ST. will receive prompt
ILL.,"
Can it be that people are to be found who
want her picture? and is it possible that a
delicate sensitive girl, such as she has been
represented, can be brought to consent to
make gain of her fearful misfortunes? The
incredulous are apt to jump to the not alto
gether unreasonable conclusion that the
crime has been exaggerated for a nercenary
purpose, and that Miss Bonds frequent re-
lapses have been either purely imaginary, or
were simply shrewdly-devised means to
work on the public sympathy. AS it is, it
must be confessed that Miss Bond has great
ly lowered herself in the esteem of those who
have so long sympathized with her. Now
that avarice has shown itself stronger than
modesty-one might say decency-a revul-
sion is certain to follow. If, as Miss Bond
claims, she was really the victim of an out
rage, unique in its barbarism and worse than
fatal in its results the attempt to coin the
crime is revolving The thing is so unnatu-
raj that it would be a source of relief to dis
cover that it is untrue, and that Miss Bond
and her relatives had nothing to do with
such a shameless scheme.

THE temporary restraining order against
the Union Railway Company, on behalf of
the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton railway,
has been continued with the concurrence of
the full bench of the Superior Court and
the case will go to the Supreme Court upon the
issues as now made up. The court was unani-
nous in upholding the order. 1t is to be
hoped the Supreme Court will take the same
view of the matter, and the monopoly sought
to be established by the Union Railway
Company overthrown. The city can much
better afford to do without new union
depot than to be hampered as it will be and
has been by the monopoly of this company.

resolution giving the widow of Edwin May
