Ex-Gov. John Gregory Smith was inter.
viewed in Chicago, on his way home from
his late pleasant and successful tour to
the Pacific Coast, and is reported as say
ing that there had been bitter feeling
among the Vermont Republicans against
Senator Edmunds, because of his course in
the last campaign-see to us we have
heard something like this beforehand
further that if the election were to be
held now, he Smith did not think Mr.
Edmunds would be reelected Governor
Smith is of course entitled to his opinion :;
but he has been out of the State for n
number of weeks, and perhaps meantime
has been getting his news from the st.
Adams messenger; and it is possible that
he has been to some extent misinformed
about the prevailing sentiment among the
Green Mountains. May it not be possible
that with some of those who are telling
him that Atkins & Co. have got the sen
ator killed of, the wish is father to the

There is at least one trades organization
which seems 10 find no difficulty in prac-
ticiug the principles which Mr.. Powderly
has preached to the Knights of Labor
with but very slight success. "No man"
says Chief Arthur, the head of the organ
ization of Locomotive Engineers has the
the right to say to another, thou shalt
or thou shalt not and in the violation of
this principle is where the trouble lies
among the workingmen to-day. We have
no business to say that an employer shall
employ or shall not employ this man. A
man has the right to belong to any organ
ization provided it is not contrary to law.
We say no man has the right to say to an
other man that he must not belong to an
organization. And, too, we have no right
to 90 to the companies and say, you
must not employ that man We
oppose this way of doing things on pru-
ciple Unless a man is "A rascal, you have
no right as superintendent or master me-
chanic, to prevent him from getting EN-
ployment elsewhere because he does not
suit you for he might suit somebody else,
The great trouble Is, there has been too
great n chasm between capital and labor,
and we should strive to bring them closer
together. There should be no antagon-
ism. There is no occasion for it, aud

up his head and look his employer square

that capital, as well as labor, has rights
which we must respect We cannot do

prosperity of the country. There should
be no clashng between them-there need
be none" The organization of Locomo-
tive Engineers approve and act on these
principles. and its attitude is very i'm

The Rutland TclCgdm, whose chief
owner, Mr.. sheldon, believes that the
world was made by Mir. Blaine, argues
that Mr.. Edmuud~ should be set aside,
tor the reason that Mr.. Blaine is likely to
be again the candidate of the Republican
party in the next clcclion Somehow we
fail to see the loLic OF this argument
Would the defeat of Mr.. Edmuuds by
Mr.. Blaine's special friends induce the
senator to take the stump for Mr.. Blaine
the next time? If not, how is his defeat
to help Mr. Blaine, if the latter should be
again the nominee for president? Mr..
Edmunds's refusal to raise his voice or

our defeat in 1854. viii Mr.. Edmuuds

was a senator that made his voice and pen
Of 50 much consequence IN lSSl. His Pc

Tie Art of Type Writing.

The typewriter is generally sup
posed to be a machine of recent inyen-
tion. but it really dates as far back as
1714. One Henry Mill obtained in that
year in England a patent for q device
that would write in printed charac-
ters, one at a time and one after the
other" There is no description of
his device TO be had now, but it is no
doubt true that MilPs invention was
the parent of the present type writer.
The idea seems to have lain dormant
for over one hundred years, when it
was taken up again by vRNous invent
ors, who sought at sundry times to
embody it in IA machine that would
work satisfactorily, but apparently
without success until 1867, when a
firm in Milwaukee made a typewriter
that was actually used.
TO such perfection has the machine
been brought that even the most de-
tailed and intricate statements, con-
tanning column after column of figures,
can be- readily made with it, aud in q
neat and business-like form that is i'm
possible with the pen Of the average
writer. It's use has opened field fer
aomen who have to earn their living
that never existed before. They are
naturally expert and skillful in using
the fingers, and they readily learn to
use the typewriter with great speed.
A number of schools have added it to
their regular course, and young men
who learn to use it find il tar easier to
obtain situations. Charles Reade said:
IL advise parents to have their boys
and girls taught shorthand writing and
type writing. The shorthand writer
who can typewrite his notes would be
safer from poverty than a great Greek
scholar"
DR.. Brudenell Carter, the famous
eye surgeon of London, when here
visiting the Centennial, bought every
American invention that he thought
would be of use to him. and among
them a type writer. In a treatise of
his on the eye and how to preserve it,
published not long since, he gives
cut of typewriter, and advised all
persons who are ''near sighted" to
use it. |!
The speed with which an expert
operator can rattle off words and sem
tences is wonderful to one VINO has
never tried to use the machine. The
fingers play with a swift and cease
less mOtlOn over the keys, accompan-
led by the InOnotonOus "rat-tat" of
the machine, and sheet after sheet of
neatly manuscript is taken
from the roller, from two to three times
as fast as an average penman can pro-
duce it. Few people write with pen
faster than twenty or thirty words
minute; an expert will bring out of the
typewriter fifty to eighty words In
minute. What, then, must be the
value of clerk who is an expert at

"Truthful Jeems.'
There were three or four old codgers
seated around stove in the back
room of an Austin saloon toasting
their Sims and spinning yarns. An
old stage driver named Smooth, with
a bald-head and long beard, which
probably owed its peculiar color to his
habit OF chewing tobacco for the last
best-hearted man l ever knew in my
life was Bob Hinkley, who used to be
sheriff up in Nebraska in tho early
days. He was the whitest man 1 over
saw. lie was the easiest man on pris-
oners that ever lived. When prison.
ers time was up he always refused to
go; he had such nice time i'm Jail.
by thunder, IN some cases the county
attorney had to get out writs for tres
pass, just as you DO in cases where a
tenant refuses TO get out of house,
in order to get those prisoners out of
jail. Bob Hinkley used to feed tho
prisoners so well, and treated them SO
gentlemanly, that men would just
shoot somebody for no other purpose
than to get in that Jail. was in there
myself for week or SO, waiting to be
vindicated on the charge of stealing a
hog. Well. one day-it was awful
warm-Sheriff Hnkley sent man
who was in for murder, ACROSS the
street to saloon to bring over q tray
full of drinks for the prisoners. We
waited for a good while, and one of us
followed out from the Jail window for
the murderer to bring over them drinks
quick, as we were suffering for them.
But he didn't come back worth cent.
When Bob Hinkley came in we said to
him: Mr.. Sheriff, that murderer amt
got back with them drinks. 1t was
limited around among us that the muir
derer had lit out, but old Bob wouldn't
listen to it. He burst into tears, and
said: Il know that poor boy hasn't
left me. Somebody must have kid
mapped him. Come bows, let's hunt
him up. And all the jail-brds, coun-
terfeiters and the like, turned out and
hunted that whole town over"
Ibid they find the missing mur-
dererp"
Eyes, we found him. 1t was just as
Sheriff Hinkley or Bob as we used to
call him, said. The murderer never
ran away. He had been kidnapped by
a vigilance committee and was hanging
to tree, so we never got those drinks.
We all came back to Jail, feeling very
blue. After that we prisoners quit
strolling about town and going out
hunting, but Bob Hinkley made it so
comfortable for MS that we didn't care
to stroll. He had a saloon, a reading
room, a shooting gallery and billiard
table fixed up for us in Jail, for fear he
might lose some Of us. 1t amt often
you find a Sheriff taking such good
care of the prisoners.
The speaker, having finished, got up
and strOlled out. One of the other
old codgors spoke up, and motioning
to the retreatng form of the last speak
er, said
He amt at himself now, but when
he was younger man, before he lost
his memory and his lmag nation, he
could lie some tell you. He is losing
his grip, powerful. If he don't do bet
ter after a while, people will call him
