MRssRs. WISFRER & Coz:
GENTLENEN:-l take pleasure in stating that
the Blount Press Drill, bought Of you last sea-
son, gave entire satisfaction. The principle
upon which this drill acts is certainly correct.
The wheat came up better and more promptly
than that sown by other drills, used by me, and
on this account takes less seed per acre. i
shall probably need another drill this fall. l
expect TO buy another Of this kind as ] prefer
them to any known to me.
Very Respectfully,

Skilled workmen In Demand.

In nearly every branch Of useful industry
the supply of skilled workmen ls UNEQUAL
to the demand. From one cause and
another, comparatively few serve the needed
apprenticeship to trades necessary to pro
duce finished workmen. The result is to
crowd our workshops with poor mechanics
And one evil of trades unions is that they
make nc distinction between good work
men and botches.
In our day very few boys are bound to
serve sufficient time to acquire a proper
knowledge of thir etrades Occupations re-
quiring five or seven years to master are
picked up in half the time, and so soon as
half-taught apprentice can secure mem
bership he sets himself up as a ,surueyman,
deman ling journeymen's wages, although
he may have mastered no more than the
rudiments of his trade. This system works
evil all round, and employers and parents
should unite to break it up.
Another error needing attention is the
too common notion that it is degrading 10
learn trade. A Aprofession, clerkship-
something neat, easy and @genteelnLis
sought rather than honest, useful toll. This
is all wrong, and the sooner it comes to be
understood the better viii it be for our bows
and for the country.

It is not our de-

editor of the Globe and ourselves

senal regard for him socially, but,
politically, we differ upon questions
of public policy. For what we
have said, we have nothing to ap-
pologize, nor do we bow in sub

rest against Mr.. Arnold for which
he apologies and humbly bows in

a fuss at the banquet and what
we said was true. and when we
say that, we would not have pub

ciate editor. 1t is a maxim in the

and break faith with his associates
and friends. A great deal more
might be said if we were disposed
to play the coward. A coward
has the contempt of honorable
men; man is admired and hon.
ored by every one. What we

have no apologies to offer or favors

HON. EDWARD BREITUNG
MICHIGAN's MAGNAN1MoUs
AND
LEADING CONGRESSMAN.

The subject of this sketch was
born in the City of Schalkau,
Germany, November 10th 1881.
He was educated at the college of
Meiningen, in the city of Meinin-
gen, in Germany, is a Capitalist,
and interested in iron mines and
lands. Senator Breitung was elect
ed Mayor ofNegauuaee, Michigan
in 1928 and 1882 of which
place he is now a resident; he was
elected a member OF the House of
Representatives of Michigan for
1873, IA. but resigned shortly af-
ter his election; he was an honor
cd and u,oful State Senator, serv-
ing in the Senate from the 31st.
Michigan district for 1877,-'78; Mr..
Breitung was elected to the U S.
House OF Representatives as Re-
publican, receiving 11.428 votes
against 4.840 votes for Peter White
Democrat, and 343 votes for John
Russell, Prohibitionist.
As a member of the 48th. Con-
gress Mr.. Breitung has great infu
enee and the Negro race a German
American friend. We can say con-
fdently that if the Hon. Edward
Breitung consents to allow the use
of his name in the next Congress
sional Campaign that he will be
reelected triumphantly. The color
ed race hopes to find in him
friend like unto the lamented
Zack Chandler,
We congratulate the people of
Michigan and the Grand Army
of Republican votes of the 11th
district for so ably a Representative
as Honorable Edward Breitung.
We will also present to our read
ers a portrait Of him shortly.

GOD SAVE US.

assist us in securing suffrage. We
shall never get suffrage SO long as
the whiskey mob in this commun-

That certain insects possess power akin

spitted toad on stick which he fixed
upright in the ground. The oder of the
decaying reptile attracted a number Ct
burying beetles; but as they found they
could do nothing with the toad while in
the ar, they mined under the base of the
stick until it fell, when they buried the
toad and stick together. Such an engln-

Chicago, Jnne 5, 1884.

The National Republican con.
vention adjourned sine die last
night, at 1870.
On the first ballot for President
the vote stood, Arthur 260, Logan
294, Sherman 12O, Blaine IL, and
Lincoln $50.
The second and third ballots
were about the same as the first.
After thelthird ballot came space
of several hours OF speech making.
Mr.. johnson, of New York led
off in a brilliant speech, IN behalf
of President Arthur, saying, among
other things, that ahis..great and
pure record since his induction in
to the White House, and his splen-
did administration of public affairs
entities him to the highest con-
sideration of the convention.
Mr.. Smith OF Virginia, spoke IN
the highest terms of Secretary
Lincoln, and said that the son Uf
the sainted and martyred Presi-
dent, was the proper man to lead
the republican host to victory.
Mr.. Lee of Penna, then made a
speech in behalf of Senator Logan.
He said that it is the desire of the
West, South and part of the East,
that the brilliant and able Senator
from Illinois, should be nominated
by the convention for President.
He said that since the assembly of
the convention, hundreds of letters
have been received by delegates,
from old soldiers of their respect
i've states, asking that their votes
be cast for the soldiers friend.
He said that the. colored people in
all sections of the country, have
been sending petitions to the con-
ventiou in favor of Hon. John A.
Logan. He said that he held in
his hand letter from the business
men of Philadelphia, one from the
bankers of Boston, and a petition
from the board of trade of Cincin-
natl, asking that Senator Logan
be the choice of the convention.
He made quite 3 lengthy speech
and was listened to with marked
attention, and greatly applauded
all through. He then moved that
the convention proceed to take |
another ballot. The motion was
carried and the fourth balloting
began. 1t was apparent as soon
as the voting commenced, that
Logan had gained considerable |
ground, and after the vote of the |
state of Arkansas had been record |
ed, a complete stampede was made
over to Logan, and he was nomi-
mated.
Mr.. Townsend of New York, |
that it be made unanimous,
which was carried w..thoutla a dis.
senting vote.
The chairman said that the
next thing in order was to nomi-
nate vice President.
Mr.. W. G. Chase of the District
Of Columbia, nominated Hon.
Blanche Z. Bruce, of Mississippi,
He said he thought the time had
come when the claims and wishes
Of 100000 people should be
heard. He said that Mr.. Bruce is
an able man, an honest man, and
IN honor not only to his race, but
70 the country of which he is re-
'pected citizen. He said that Mr..
Bruce represented the younger
political and other elements of the
,olored people, which element, he
said, was the most progressive and
earned of the colored people.
Mr.. Morgan of Mass. nominated
N quite alenghty speech, U. s.
Grant of New York.
The convention then proceeded
10 ballot, and General Grant was
nominated, having received FIVE
votes more than MIR. Bruce.
