left. The result is that over three thousand
men are now idle. Both sides are firm.

a Good story on Joe Cannon.

Washington Ratchet.
The Hon. Joseph Cannon. the loud talking
member from Illinois, cannot speak minute
without striking out vigorously with his left
arm. The faster he talks the swifter his left
fist flies through the air at the Democratic side
of the House. His compliments in that direc-
ton are always left-handed. One day, two or
three sessions back, Sunset Cox had the floor
in the midst of an important debate. Cannon
jumped up TO ask him question, and as usual
set his left arm ia motion. with the long, bony
forefnger violently vibrating toward the head of
the New York humorist
"Ill grant the gentleman's request upon one
condition. said Cox.
What is itp asked Cannon.
''That you put your left hand in your pocket
and keep it there until you get through with
your question" replied Cox.
Cannon was not a. little nonplused at the novel
ty of the contract. but proceeded to comply with
she terms. He did not get half through with
his question, however, before out flew his fist on
a level with 'tSunset"

An Invention That win Do Away with I'll

An Invention That Will Do Away with the
Amanuensis System.
Washington Special.
An article will shortly appear in a leading
periodical giving particular account of a recent
invention which win astonish the public as much
as did the working telephone. This is phono-
graph 1t comes from the Bell laboratory,
though it is the invention or Mr.. Sumner Taint-
err good deal of time and money has been
spent on the effort to develop the monograph so
to make it of some practical utility.
The Edison instrument was failure from the
fact that the registry of sound WAS upon tin foil,
which would not retain the impression with any
certainty. 1t was necessary to scream in 1t to
make even imperfect record, and this
record so easily obliterated from the tin foil
that it could not be accurately reproduced. The
Edison photograph, beyond demonstrating a
new and singular idea. was therefore worthless
practical invention. The fainter expert
ments have been in the direction of a more
satisfactory receiver That has been obtained
finally by the use of wax. An impression of
sound waves is secured by the new method, it is
said. with absolute accuracy. 1t will register the
voices of quartet of singers. SO that the same
tones and words as spoken can be reproduced,
the baritone, soprano, tenor, etc. just as origin,
ally produced, save in lesser volume. The i'm
preston is so distinct in the wax that a stereo-
type can be taken from it and the sound be
reproduced a month or 100 years afterward.
The practical utility Of the machine is its use
instead of an amanuensis. Letters or speeches
be taken with the machine, it is claimed,
and all that has to be done is to take it and set
it agoing, regulated that the words can be
written ont This can be done ut leisure, the
writer stopping, going back, or writing as fast or
as slowly as convenient An interview be
taken with absolute correctness, and preserved
and written out at leisure. the voices of the
takers being clearly distingnshable. If such
perfection as described has been obtained, the
value of the invention can scarcely be oyeresti-

An Endorsements of the July 90 Convention.
TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Jou rnal:
As Republican who has been actually en-
gagged in the temperance work for many years.
and as one who does not approve of sepa-
rate political action, heartily indorse the call
for a mass meeting of temperance Republicans
on July 20. in your city and hope such Meeting
will be largely attended. For one reason,
among many others, heartily approve the call
and that is, the Prohibition party leaders lose
no opportunity to abuse the Republican party,
and especially prohibition Republicans, far more
than they do the Democratic party, which has
declared against all temperance legislation.
Please give this place in the Journal, and
oblige F. C. S. WALKER.
