The Printer,s "Thirtr.n

Omaha Republican.
The printers of anewspaper office have
a significant term for nearly everything
connected with their trade. They speak
to an extent in a language common to
themselves and the novice or apprentice
has first to learn the language Of the
printers and next the language of the
types. Among the words peculiar to the
craft, the word thirty" is perhaps the
most often used and possessed of the
meaning. Thirty" is the end. It is
what Finish" is to book or death to an
individual. When thirty" is reached
the weary compositor drops bis stick
The days work is done. How the term
originated nobody seems to know, but
from the printer it has fallen to the edi-
tor, and become a portion Of the educa-
ton of the telegraph operator who
handles press reports. The last page of
the copy from the editor-inrchief bears
the thirty" which indicates that the
thoughts concerning the news of one day
have been presented as fully as may be;
the last proof from the proofreader retels
the story in the appended thirty" that
his days work is done; the thirty" from
the city editor denotes the completion OF
the record of the citys daily life, and the
thirty on the manifold paper received
from the telegraph operator conveys the
information that the story of its waking
hours is finished.

The New Tax and Tariff Law Ana
lyzed.
The Financial Chronicle, says the New
York Times, has analysed the working Of
the new tax and tariff law for nine
months with some surprising results.
The decrease in receipts from internal
revenue and miscellaneous sources for
the current year, estimated the last quar-
ter upon the experience of the first three,
will be S24, 900, 900, instead of $34, 750.-
past the receipts from these sources have
shown a constant increase, the rate being
unchanged. Hence, for the next year
the decrease will be less than $24, 600 600,
a conclusion which there are special rea-
sons for regarding with confidence. The
customs receipts for the three quarters
decreased, respectively, by $4,000
$3.50, 900, and So, 900, 900. That is to say,
the decrease itself constantly diminishing,
and for the third quarter averaged only
81 900, 900 monthly. Even this decrease,
it appears, is not due to the alleged re-
duction of rates of customs, but TO the
decline in imports which are subject tc
tax. To state this differently, the de-
cline in customs receipts for the third
quarter was IS, 600, 600, but the decline IL
imports was $40. Zoo, 900. The conclusion
Is that the revenue for the next fiscal
year will be $685.. 900, 600 and the surplus

THE SUN
NEW WORK. 1904

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE sun printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top OF
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers OF the way back to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
If every buyer of copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
anOther hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little CALCULATIONS like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation Of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women
THE SUN is, and will continue to be- q news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste Of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause Of
honest government, and which therefore be-
lieyes that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what's sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE Sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.

DEMOCRATIC JOINT CAUCUS.
Most Important Event I'm the Session
OF the Ohio Legisture.

Most Important Event I'm the Session
OF the Ohio Le2isture.
COLUMBUS, January 30.-The Democratic
joint caucus tonight will be the most i'm
portant thing Of the session, as the policy
to be pursued in reorganization is to be
agreed on, and the redistricting bill finally
passed on. The sub committees on these
topics have their reports ready. They are
30 conservative that they will meet with
some opposition, but the caucus will have
to wrestle with the question OF liquor leg
islation. At last weeks caucus it was de-
cided to strike the McConnellsville ordi-
nance section from the Scott law and let
the thing end there, but this does not seem
to meet with approval in the cities, and
letters are pouring in for more radical
change. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Jacob
Mueller, of Cleveland, writes for graded
system of tax, He says 1t is not right to
charge the same tax TO 8 poor widow or
little grocer, as to the dealer on the msin
street Of q city, and that the present Law
creates monopoly in the trade.
Captain Bsckss of Cleveland, and many
from Cleveland, express their views Tor
modification of the Lowenstein bill, and In
the caucus tonight Mr.. Harbaugh, OF
Cleveland, will move TO reconsider the
vote, so as to bring that vote up again. He
will be supported by the Hamilton county
delegation ard the members from Cleve-
land, Dayton Toledo and others, including
part of the Columbus delegation. The
present plan is to leave the McConnellsville
ordinance in, and also the provision for
the lien on the premises, and get graded
system. Several members were In consul
tstiou with Attorney General Lawrence
and Others, to-day, and will have their
amepdmentto the Loweustein bill ready to
present 70 the caucus, but they fear that
the conservative element viii outyote them
in control of the caucus, and that some OF
the country members might 90 30 far IS to

MIDNIGHT FIRE AND EXPLOSION.
The Walls ofthe Building Fall, killing
One Men and Iniurina Another.

ROME, n. y, January 30.-At l:3O this
morning the three story building, compris-
ing two stores with apartments above, be-
tween the Steinwsy Hall Hotel aud the
Sesrls Bank block, on James street, was
found to be OH ire in the second story.
Mrs Samuel Alexanser, wife OF the pro-
prietor OF the clothing store below, first
gave the alarm by crying for help at one of
the upper windows, saying that she and her
children we're sutIocG5ipg. A watchman
pulled the fire alarm, and the woman
and children were rescued by policemen
with the aid OF the ladders. Ten minutes
after the fire broke out on unaCCouutable
explosion occurred En' Cking out the front
wall OF the building ABOVE The first story.
Joseph Alexander, aged ~ unmarried
brother of the proprietor Of the clothing
store, was attempting TO save some goods
when the wall fell upon him. He lay for
some time under the debris before being
discovered by persons who we're attracted
by his means. He was got out at some
risk, and taken TO the station house. His
skullHa found TO be crushed, his ribs and
shoulder blade broken, and he was other
wise horribly mangled. He died at
O'Clock this morning. David Patterson, OF
Albany, q clerk in Alexander's store, Was
also struck by the falling wall.

TELEGRAPH CoNSoLIDATIOfs
Why the Gossfps Expect western Union
and Baltimore an$ShfO TO Unite,

and Baltimore anSSShfO TO Unite,
BALrINoRE, January 2a.-Rumors have
recently been in circulation here that She
action Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, in placing so many prominent
Western Union men in charge OF the man
agement of its telegraph business has been
in contemplation of its ultimate intention
Of union with the Western Union Com
pany. The Baltimore and Ohio Company
has promptly contrsdicted such rumors;
but they gain credense, nevertheless. The
appointment of Mr. Bates, lately vice
president of the Western Union, to be
president of the Baltimore and Ohio, is
one of the principal grounds on which the
gossips base their theories. They say he is
a staunch supporter of the Western Union,
and that he left the company to accept lu-
crative positions in both the Atlantic and
Pacific and Mutual Union Companies,
which advent was Immediately followed by
a consolidation. When all other employees
of the absorbed companies were left In the
iurch, he was accorded a responsible po-
Sition again by the Western Union.
Tie resignation OF Robert Stewart, the
old Superintendent of the Baltimore Il
Ohio, q straight out enemy Of the Western
Union, is regarded as another sign. He
was seen to-day, and refused to express
any opinion upon the future policy OF the
Baltimore & Ohio, but intimatsd that
there might be some truth in the rumors.
He goes to Ghicsgo, il is said, to accept an
important pos ition in the employ OF the
Bankers and Merchants, or the Pacific
Union Company. Vice President Robert
Garrett, of the Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad,
and MeSrs. Bates and Ieublin are now in
New York.
A prominent official of the Bankers and
Merchants was in this city to day, and
was seen by your correspondent. He said
that within thirty days the Bankers and
Merchants would be in Chicago, where
connection would be made with the Pacific
Union, the new company formed by the
consolidation Of several Pacific railway tel.
egraph systems. This would give through
connections from the Atlantic coast to the
Pacific, in opposition to the Western
Union. The official thought the country
was on the eve Of one of the most exciting
telegraphic wars ever seen in the United
States. He said he understood the Postal
Company vas trying to sell out. They had
been negotiating for over q week past, but
he refused to say with what company the
negotiations were being carried on.
