A Successful Typo-setting Machine.

"Gath's" Washington Letter.
Mr.. Rounds asked me if / had heard of the
new invention called the Baltimore type-setter,
and he explained to me that Mr.. Clephane, of
Washington City, who had been boy in the
Office of the old National Era when it was pub
fishing 'sUncle Toms Cabin" had taken in hand
the invention which a German mechanic in Bal
timore had now perfected; ''and," said he, II
believe it is going to revolutionize printing in
the United States and throughout the world"

The country by employees against a reduction in
pay where such reductions would have been
necessary had not such roads undertaken to pay
dividends ON watered stock or interest on bonds

Take the Union Pacific strike. All lies in the
point, as made by che men. that the wages are
reduced IN order to pay dividends on watered
stock 1t IS obvious to the meanest intellect
that If the real capital be $40, 600 it might be
easy, with fair earnings and decent wages to pay
dividend, but if $40 600 600 of bogus capital be
added the earnings will be insufficient and the
dividend must be taken out of wages and work
ing expenses.

The Legislative Apportionment.

To the Editor of the INDIANAPOLIS Jou rnaI:
The rush Of visitors is now at the food-tide
here, as any one may sec. who visits the hotels
and boarding houses, or looks at the throng of
addressed people on the sidewalks these pleas
ant afternoons. The atmosphere is SO genial aud
inviting that all who can avail themselves Of the
opportunity for an airing, and none relish it SO
much as those from the frozen North who
have been confined within doors for the past
four months by the rigor of the climate In
numbers the ladies appear to rival the sterner
sex, but as a rule, they are not invalids, if one
may Judge by their appearance, or the zest with
which they enjoy good dinner. I fancy that
many who are here now are not seeking health
from the healing waters of these celebrated
springs, but are excursionists their way to or
from the Worlds fair at New Orleans, and have
called to view the great natural curiosities here
The little narrow gauge railroad. which is the
only avenue of communication with the outside
world, is taxed to its utmost capacity to carry
the crowds of passengers to and from this place,
and, as it's charge is 10 cents a mile, appears to
be doing a thriving business. 1t must be said,
however, that if the charge is high the accom-
modations are excellent for the coaches and de-

1t is said that one extreme follows another, and

all stores and places of business were open for
the transaction of business on Sunday the same

style. The Legislature of this State, now in
session, has called halt by enacting Sunday
law absolutely prohibitory of all business trans
actions ON Sunday, and now one cannot buy a
cigar or a newspaper unless the contract is made
and the money paid in advance. The vendors
will deliver these things on Sunday, but take no
money. The traveller who homes for his cigar
and newspaper on the Lords day just as he does
on any other day naturally inquiries: Have we

The bears are endeavoring to wreck financial

are using as club the $780, DOC. 900 debt hanging
over the road, and 1t is stated that the st. Paul
and Union Pacific are the only roads whose di-
rect funded debt exceeds $l00,00O,D00. This
may all be true, yet there is a feature about the
ST. Paul debt worthy of note. 1t is the sole fixed
obligation of the company. When the company
has paid the interest for one year aud has taken
up any bonds that may be matured it need only
think of the stock. 1t has neither rental nor car
trust to meet; IFS cars and branch lines are its
own property. the latter being subject only to

company. and has no contingent liabilities of any
description" st. Paul's hundred millions of
debt represents 4, 800 miles of road. $50 lecomo-

The State Normal School.

TO the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal,
l had the pleasure of visiting the Indiana
State Normal this morning, at the opening of the
spring term. The attendance is very large,
numbering nearly 600 in all. These students
come largely from our own State and are an earn
est, industrious class of young men and young
women. The State Normal is by no means an
academy where the common English branches
are pursued without special reference to any par
ticular calling. but on the contrary. the very
foundation idea Of the Normal is that school
teaching is a science or should be so recognized,
and that the teacher should regard himself a
specialist needing special preparation for his pc
culiar work. All work is laid out with reference
to this central idea and purpose--how can
these students become best qualified for the
work Of school teaching9 The notion has too
long prevailed that anyone with a fair education
is qualified to teach. Teaching is work requiring
preparation and fitness as much as any other
calling
am coming to regard this institution more
and more, as the most important educational in
terest in our State. Here are gathered and in
Structed the young men and young women who,
In very few years, are to come into immediate
and most intimate. personal contact with our
homes and our children. The more we can do
for these normal students the more they will at
once be able to do for US. No reasonable demand
for appropriations ought to be for a moment with
held but on the contrary this school should be
literally supported. penny wise' can only be
here at least ''pound-soolish." No investment
can be made by the State which will at once re-
turn a larger revenue, or bring more lasting
benefits to our commonwealth than money ex-
pended in qualifying our teachers to teach our
own children
The management Is all that can be desired. Its
board Of trustees are wise and careful men-con-
scientious in all their work. The facuty--num-
bering in all some fifteen teachers-are not only
competent but they are enthusiastic and faith
full servants Of the State. They take personal
and kindly interest in their students and any
young man or young woman coming here
will soon be made to feel they have not come
among indifferent strangers, but are with in
terested friends.
The moral and religious tone of the institution
is the very best and the building up of noble
character is by no means neglected, or lightly re-
garded Prof. George p. Brown, the president
of this institution, so we'll known throughout
this and adjoining States is working hard to
make the school benefit and blessing to the
young teachers of this commonwealth and to
make it-he has made it already-worthy the
most liberal and hearty support from all good
people of the State j. X. WHEELER.
