ofense, and restraint to be despotism.
There are but a few PAGES between the
the doctrine of taking the railroads
and telegraphs, and taking the
farms. Only few inalienable rights in
tervene, and communism and socialism
and anarchism can sweep these away
by wave of the hand.
Then the order viii be, let all
men own all things, and no man
own anything. Human ambition is naught,
human energy entitled to no reward.
Economic methods are wrongs upon the
body of the people, thrift is but the
synonym of greed, and property accumula-
ton is robbery by the more industrious OF
those who are less So Let us by all
means, have parties that shall muster
majorities to declare the right of govern
ment to seize upon what it will. Once
invested, these majoritieS will not stop
with railroads or telegraph lines. Logic
ally they may control manufacturers of
staples, possess all machinery for labor
saving, regulate the production Of the soil,
lap up the farm and proclaim that of Gods
footstool no man shall have right to occupy
any part as a reward for the sweat
of his brow. But if the State is to
buy the railroads, it must buy also,
of course, and monopolize, the steam
boats and the sailing craft and all other
means of transportation. There is no
escape from it. The State cannot afford
to own and operate railroads and permit
her business to be opposed by opposition
systems of transport How vast a sum in
billions it is to take to buy all this proper
ty that no one may be wronged out of his
goods, we do not undertake even to estim-
ate without greater time than is given Us
now. Nor do we pause to solve this other
problem, as to how the Government is to
be maintained by the remainder Of the
taxpayers when all this vast taxpaying
property Is stricken from the assessment
list, and converted into dollars that may
take wings unto themselves. But We do
now concern ourselves with the grayer
question, "What is to become of civilized
methods, orders and results, when the
right of the individual to possess is blotted
out" And that this is the legitimate and
inevitable outcome of such doctrines as
the so-called Farmers Convention has put
forward cannot be successfully denied.

In Bellevue hospital lies Albert Wade,
slowly recovering from nervous prostra-
ton. For month he was in the insane
asylum on Wards Island, but he has re-
gained mental health, and is now getting
back some physical strength. He was q
circus performer in England until two
years ago, when increasing fat untitled
him for agile teats, aud he had to become
a humber attache Of the show in which he
had figured. This grleved him, and at
length he determined to reduce his weight
by novel means. Desiring to come TO
America to get an engagement as an
athlete, and believing that hard exercise
In high temperature would rid him of
flesh, he decided to make the ocean pas
sage as fireman In steam ship.
He got the desirt d 10. The fire room
on steamer is u yeritable roasting place.
1t is anyhow below the water line, where
ventilation is impossible or at least unat-
tempted. The temperature ranges from
1876 degees to l75 degrees, and In that at
mosphere the men are required TO shovel
coal eight hours in every day--two
stretches of unceaslng and heavy work of
four hours each in the twenty four. Wade
mad reasoned that no course of physical
training, intended to clear the human
body OF superfiuous adipose tissue, could
be more thorough than this experience of
a week. He weighed 205 pounds at the
start, and he calculate, d that he might
land in New York at about 1856, at which
point he would be fit to 30 into the ring
with the Orrin Brothers circus, soon to
sail for South America. He was advise d
that he could not stand the exhausting
labor, but be was not to be dissuaded
Several times he fell fainting to the hot
floor of the FIRE room, but always insisted
on resuming his duty. Wnen within q
day OF this port he rushed madly from
the heat, climbed to the deck, aud leaped
over the the rail into the sea. He had be-
come maniac. Sailors rescued him, aud
he had TO be kept uncer restraint during
the rest OF the trip. He believed he had
escaped from the bottomless pit, and that
his captors meant to return him to the
fiery torment, On landing he was sent to
the hospital.
The American Seaman's Friend society
VIII use his case as an Illustration, and
try to bring about some mitigation of
steamer tiremen's sufferings.

CHICAGO, IT., oct. l7.--Dr. Aubrey, q
well-known London journalist and public
speaker, is here for c few days on HE
way to the Pacific slope. pr. Aubrey was
a Gladstone candidate for North Hackney
at the general election In July, and suffer
ed defeat with numerous others. He has
spent some time In Canada, where be has
spoken concerning the home rule ques-
tion from an English standpoint. In an
interview to-day on the English political
situation, he attributed the Liberal def at
in London mainly to the fact that the Irish
policy of Gladstone was not understood,
and 70 the fear that heavy taxes would
be imposed In order 10 buy out the
Irish landlords. The Tories insisted that
three times the amout named In
the Gladstone land bill would be re-
CURED TO buy out the landlords. Tory
people were made 10 believe that tins
money would be raised by direct taxa
ton. c'he home-rule question was not
decided on It's merits. Most OF the talk
OF the disruption Of the empire was clap
trap The real contest conferred around
the land bill.

tor can take but forty-fse words at most
by the nse OF the type writer he can take
slxty-dve words easily. As has been said,
the sender can "give" but forty-tye
words, the same number that the old
fashioned receiver can take.
To obvlate this difficulty and Increase
the speed OF transmission a system OF ab-
brevistlon has been introduced. Thus. II
the sender In New York wishes 10 tele-
graph TO the associated press agent In
Chicaao that "Mayfiower beat Galatea
this afternoon, he sends the following
"Mtwr bet Cite is p. m"
lt takes him as long to send this by
the Morse alphabet as II does the receiver
to write 1t out on the type writer. The
receiver can take six,y-fye words min-
ute on the type writer, while his fellow
can ante out in manuscript only forty
Eve. In other words, he gains twenty
words a minute, and by the system Of alb
breviation the sender can equal his speed.
At present the associated press uses the
mac in its offices In Washington, Bal
tlmore, New Yoik, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Cleveland Cincinnati, Columbus,
o., Detroit, Chicago, St. Paul, Kansas
City, Minneapolis, Louisville, Nashville,
Memphis, indianapolis, and st. Louis.
The telegr pa companies do not seem
inclined TO bring 1t into use for business
messages. In the frst place the cost Of
the machines is an important item, and,
again, larger wages would have to bepaid
a man who combined the arts OF tele-
graphy and type writing than to simple
operator.
Doubtless as SCOT az the type writer
comes into general use in telegrsphy
number OF improvements and convex
fences will be added One very notable
addition has been made within the last
few DAYS. This Is the connection OF the
odometer with the type writer. By
spring lever the odometer is connected
with the space-bar Of the type writer, and
every time the bar is struck point is
registered on the dial. In this way an
automatic count OF the number OF words
in dispatch is made, as the space-bar is
touched after each word. The odome.er
Is the registering instrument that has
been in use for the last few years on
carriages and bicycles. II Is connected
with the wheel ana marks a point for
every revolution. BY reckoning in the
circumference OF the wheel the distance
Travelled is easily ascertained. It's appli-
cation to the type writer is Of undoubted
advantage, but at present there is one
difficulty that must be overcome to make
IL thoroughly useful. The odometer is
not adjustable. 1t starts in at one and
runs to 100000 Thus, II a dispatch Of
1870 words is received, the dial marks
these figures. When the next dispatch
oegins to come in the odometer starts at
this number and counts on. In order to
get the length of the second or third dis
patch a tedious bit Of arithmetic must be
gone through.
