The Part That Springfield Plays in the
Greatest Show On Earth.
The Ohio Centennial opens at Columbus
today. and everything indicates that it is to
be what It pretends to be, ''the greatest
show on earth"
Springfield manufacturers are aiding
greatly the success Of the exhibition by the
magnificent display which they are making.
Most all Of our industries will be represent
I'd by an exhibition. and while they are
helping the show along, they arc at the
same time doing great deal for Springfield
in the way of advertising this as great
Industrial center. Springfield NEIL and
Springfield machinery will form conspic-
uouf part In the great exhibition. but no
greater than their merit deserves.
Regarding these local exhibits the RE-
PUBLIC will have more to say later.

All Mixed Up,

AS long as the republicans in congress could play
the single role Of opposition on the tariff question
they constituted a reasonably happy family. They
could denounce in chorus any bill the democrats
might introduce, and hope TO hold their party in
line But 1.-THE, constantly increasing surplus has
rendered the situation very trying. The surplus
must be reduced and sensible business people are
sayi ny to the republicans that il the democratic
m easure is vicious and dangerous they should offer
q better one.
II is when they como to face the sece1ty Of franz
ing bill that will reduce taxation and hurt no
body that they find themselves in hotter water If
possible than their democratic opponents. Nc
Kinley of Ohio, undertook to offset the bills of the
ways and means committee with a resolution in
favor of aboshing all tobacco taxes and reduction
Of the whisky tax to fifty cents gallon. He was
promptly informed by. fifty republican members
that Ithey would not vote for the .resolu ton.
Browne of Indina. is out in favor of free coal
lumber and salt, while good many northwestern
republicans think that general scaling OF duties
would be advantageous. The republican dilemma
is very uncomfortable in view of the fact that
the surplus taxation M ust be reduced or business
disaster follow sooner or later. The lamentable
tragedy of the that starved between two stacks
of hay is likely to be repeated .-Abiene Gazette.

PAYING BY The MILE.

A Magazine Editors Novel Bargain with
Young Contributor.
'How much do you pay for such a
story?'' asked a young writer of a we'll
known magazine editor in New York,
the other day.
'Let me see your manuscript.
The young man produced his roll and
submitted it to the editor.
You write u rather fine hand, and
therefore will give you twenty-five
dollars for every quarter of mile of
writing that accept"
twenty-five dollars for a quarter of
of a mile?' repeated the would-be con-
tributor, aghast with surprise.
Eyes, and that is very good rate for
an unknown writer like yourself. We
pay all the way from 500 to $1,000 a
mile for the work of the most noted
writers, and have paid a famous poet
at the rate of $40. 900 a mile for great
poem which he wrote at my order.
That is an exceptionally high price,
though"
..How much would mile make of my
manuscript"
81 should say about ten thousand
words"
You don't mean to say that ten
thousand of my words if strung in q
row would make mile?''
Most assuredly not. But in writing
ten thousand words your pen moves
over mile of space. With some
writer's mile is only composed of eight
thousand words. and there are some
microscopic writers who crowd twenty
thousand words into mile. Those
figures will give you IN idea of the
amount of territory the pen of busy
writer will cover in a year. Take q
newspaper reporter. who writes on an
average ten thousand words a week.
His pen will travel ffty-two miles a
year. A court stenOgrapher, who
frequently takes down forty thousand
to sixty thousand words in a day, and
transcribes part of his notes at night.
will cover not less than four hundred
miles year. Take Alexander Duma ),
the elder. who was one of the mo- #
prolific writersin the world. If he ha d
done all of his own writing. he vToul d
have averaged five miles day during
his whole busy career. He often en- L
ployed secretaries, however, though b e
did a large part of his work himself
You see it would take long time for a
man to draw line around the wOI1 d
with his pen. 1t could be done, though. !"

Bob BURDETrE gives the following
interesting statistical information with
out furnishing any clue as to how he
came to know so much about it: Twen-
ty-eight female persons in this great
and grand republic, according to the
most reliable statistics, wear trousers,
and would gladly vote for Belva Lock-
wood if they only could. Twenty-eight
females in pantalOons! OF the twenty
eight breeched females eleven ''sus-
pend" from the shoulders, somewhat
after the despised manner of the mon
ster man, nine button on to a waist
of ample dimensions and some fearful
and wonderful material, and eight hold
up their bifurcated garments with a
pickering string at the waist, modi-
fication of the strap of the section hand.
I'll is a matter for infinite rejoicing
that in a country of over so, O0O. 900 hu-
man beings only twenty-eight female
persons wear f.pants."
