Edison is not the only person in the coun-
try who is continually studying to make
new discoveries. The people who gull the
public are just as assiduous in their en-
deavors to discover new methods of prose-
cutting their work. With all the games
they have been up to, it would seem that no
new one could be thought of; but such is
not the fact. A young man in Norwich,
Conn, had printed across the top of several
hundred envelopes the other day the words,
"Union telegraph company" and, going to
an adjoining town, started out on tour
among the farmers, to each of whom he
handed one Of the sealed envelopes, with
the representation that it contained tele-
gram, and for which he required 80 cents
delivery. A number of farmers fell into
the trap before the fraud was discovered.

The New York Herald has discovered a
way in which the republicans can elect
their ticket. 1t says: IF they will cast
aside the ridiculous and antediluvian high
tariff and free whisky plank of their plat
form, boldly trample it under foot and pre-
sent better and more thorough-going tariff
reform bill than that of the democrats,
they can regain their lost ground, and, in
our belief, carry the country" II there is
no Other road to victory, the republicans

quite a Different Thing.

From the Boston Transcript.
Little Freddie is another of the small boys
whose acuteness OF reasoning powers marks
them as destined for the lawyers trade. He
had lately acquired a bad habit of pinching; and
one day mis- mother after child had hesn
brought to her screaming with the pain of one
of Freddie's pinchlng exploits. called her son to
her and gave him an object lesson by plnching
him sharply In the arm.

Dignif1ed Courtship.

From the Boston Courier.
A pretty Boston school ma'am
And youth of mien sedate
We're parting in the evening
Beside the garden gate.
His hand and heart he'd offered
In grave and sober way,
And she with quiet dignity
Had named the happy day.
He fingered at the gate with her
And said in accents low;
"There is a little favor
would ask before go.
"A favor never asked before;
Sweet maiden, it is this
A lovers privilege, that is all,
A sweet betrothal kisSm
IF you wait, - the maiden whispered,
With her color rising high,
Till remove my spectacles,
I'll willingly comply"

peculiar position as that of candidate Levi

Morton's name is a synonym of money bags.
His record is measured by the amount of

the moral element, the answer is given that
he has donated certain sum of money to
build a certain church, if his popularity
with the Irish is inquired about, the answer
is that he contributed to the relief fund for
the Irish in the famine of 1877; if anybody
wants to know how the Germans regard

Close the Gates.

Some curious facts are being brought out
by the Ford congressional committee that
is investigating in New York the charges
that the contract labor law is persistently
and constantly violated. 1t is quite safe to
say that the law Is not enforced at all. I'm
migrants are all the time arriving in this
country who are under contract to those
who pay the expenses they incur In coming
here, and, it seems, there are societies in
Germany that furnish the money to send
the worst criminals here The German
towns are anxious to get rid of these Grim
nals because there is no hope of their ref
ormdfion, and it costs less to send them out
of the country than to support them in
prisons.
Several Italian immigrants have been ex-
amined who were induced to come to this
country by the promise of better wages.
but who have not been able to get work
since their arrival. They have managed to
exist by begging, and by picking up sticks
which they find in the outskirts of New
York, and which they sell for kindling
wood. These beggars on being asked if
they would accept steady work at 80 cents,
or 60 cents, or even 10 cents a day, an
wered that they would not. They wanted
81 or 81 % a day, and declared they
would work for nothing less. They came
to this country with the idea of getting
good wages and they intended to have
what they expected to get, or to accept
nothing. They are ignorant and hardly
capable of taking care of themselves in a
strange country.
1t is evident that congress has not under
taken this investigation too soon. The time
has come to stop this dumping of paupers
and criminals on our shores. We have
more of those classes than we know what to
do with now. Public sentiment against
receiving any more of them is growing
stronger every day. Our gates have been
swinging wide open long enough.

AN INsoLUBLE ENIGMA.
Who is the Referee For Dakota in
Postal Matters?

Special to the Clone.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-There is no
referee for Dakota in the postofiice de-
partment. Postmaster General Villas
used to recognize Hon. M. III. Day in all
appointments, and refer all matters to
him for recommendation Postmaster
General Dickinson has stopped that
custom, and does not send official papers
to Day. 1t has been claimed that
this was done in order to change
from Day to Church. But it is
not true. Official papers are not re-
ferred from that department to Church,
either. There is something mysterious
going on in that big building, and it is
as yet unfathomable. Two things are
certain: First, Day has not been sup
planted by Church, who is not author
lied to make recommendations; and
second, Church has no influence in post
office appointments. 1t is Stand-Otf
between Day and the governor in
that department. When he left here
Day said he would make no more recon-
mendations. That warrants the infer
ence that he stopped of his own accord.
But, how stands the governor, in this
matter? Is his silence voluntary, or
enforced? The cOnundrum cannot be
answered from this locality, because
only by tight squeezing have the above
facts been aScertained, ami no more can
be learned. One thing may be said, as
corollary, and that is: The loss of
patronage, in that department, is not
much loss to either gentleman. 1t is a
thankleSS work.
