The Philadelphia Record seems to think
that Mr.. Randall is under some Obliga-
tions to the Republicans which go a good
deal further back than the present alli-
ance. 1t says: "The good judgment of
the Republican managers in Pennsylvania
in providing a districtin the city Of Phila-
delphia to secure the election of Mr.. RAN
dali to Congress stands indicated. No
Republican in Washington has been able
to DO so much to sustain a high tariff as
ne. On the issue that now divides parties
in this country, no man has a stronger
claim to the Republican nomination for
the Presidency than Samuel j. Randall.
He may be the looked-for dark horse whose
candidacy would put an end to the tur-
moi now raging in the ranks of the grand
old party"

FLOWING BY STEAM.

If Cincinnatus, with couple of his long
horn steers and his old-fashioned straight
bcamed plow, with its wooden spike driven
through, simply to tickle the ground, had
been out at Fargo day before yesterday,
when the Dakotaians were breaking the vir-
gin soil with a steam pillow, the old gentle
man would most likely have sent a special
to Washington advising that the new people
of the Northwest be admitted into the
Union at once. With his rig Cincinnatus
could not have broken one acre a year in
Dakota.
In prairie countries, like Dakota and
Iowa, the blowing field is often the whole
length of tho farmers quarter section OF
land-that Is, half-mile furrow. And at
the first blowing or breaking of the soil it
takes man with four horses or four oxen,
and boy to drive them, q day to break q
little over an acre. An acre and half q
day is good work. And it is hard Juggling
for man and animal and pillow. 81.
The new sulky plows, by which mar
takes his seat ON the pillow good deal as he
does in q road sulky, made it far easier fol
the man, but little heavier for the beasts.
By the arrangement just tried at Fargo a
traction steam engine draws eight plows
after it and instead OF one acre breaks
twenty-five acres a day. Breaking by the
old method is worth SO an acre and it is
held that the steam pillow can afford to break
at 81 an acre. The main advantage Of
course is in the fact that by this saving a
great many men are freed from manual
labor and sent into politics, while two-thirds

THE BUSY REPORTERS.

The oyerworked reporters nro now get.
ting rest. They never had buster time
than while the excitement lasted People
who read quietly ut tho breakfast table nc
counts of the collapse, the defalcntions and
swindles, aud the movements of the various
eminent mischief makers, had very little
idea how hard the reporters had to work to
get all the facts and some fancies together.
While troops Of them were securing the city
night and day, the Stock Exchange, the
Wall street Offices and some of tho banks
had to be closely watched. An ego had TO
be kept on each Of the mischief-malsers
aforesaid. Whom they met, whittier they
went, what they said, had TO BIO carefully
noted. Picket duty at their houses had also
to DO performed. II was necessary, besides,
to keep close watch on the uptown hotels
and other night resorts of the brokers and
bank men. Then there was the work Of
finding out what tho police were doing, or
likely to do, and what was going on at the
District Attorneys Office, and whether the
Sheriff was up to anything; and when
everything was gathered, there was tho
labor, late at night, when most other folks
were a-bed, putting II together in proper
newspaper shape, and seeing that nothing
was left out, while nothing redund. mt went
in, no that tho whole story might be in print
long before tho people should get up who
had gone to bed long before tho reporters
had gathered in their last notes. II was in.
decd an uncommonly busy timo with til,
reporters, and all their work was we'll done
There has not often been more striking
illustration of the fght-it-out pluck Of re-
porters than occurred in the Sun Office
few weeks ago, when one OF two mon sent
TO report fire was killed by fremans
ladder falling On him. The other, who was
severely hurt at the Same time, made his
way to the Office, though suffering great
pain, and unable to do any writing himself,
dictated an account Of the fire and the acct
dent to another reporter, so that full re-
port appeared next morning. 1t is not
often, Of course, that reporters arc exposed
to the risk Of being killed at their post Of
duty, but in any case the risk is tho las.
thing thought of. There WAS no such risl
in the late Wall street work. but If there
had been the reporters would have gone
