Interesting Sketch Of the ] ife asd Work
of the Father of Short-Ha

Interesting Sketch OF the ife asd Work
Of the Father of Shorthand.
To Isaac Pitman, of Bath, England, says
. writer in Harptr's, must be given the
credit of producing the most popular sys-
tenn of shorthand that has ever been used,
and upon the general principles of which
all future systems Of writing by signs will
be based Mr.. Pitman is now nearly
seventy five years of age. As a lad he re-
ceived q common-school education, was
clerk in his fathers cloth-mill, and when
seventeen years of age, mastered one of
the old systems of stenography (Taylor's),
with which he reported slow speakers.
Subsequently, he prepared manual of
shorthand, founded on this system, and
later issued book called Stenographic
Sound-Hand, or sign-writing by sound.
This was published in 1887, the year of
Queen Victoria's coronation, Mr.. Pitman
being twenty-four years Of age. Since
then, Mr.. Pitman, who for many years has
been his own publisher, has issued many
books on photography, all Of which have
had a large sale; Of one Of them, ssThe
Teacher more than million copies have
been sold. Mr.. Pitman in his old age is a
hard worker. For nearly quarter of a
century, he has been strict vegetarian,
eating neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and alb
staining from wine, beer and liquors
Although Isaac Pitman has always been
credited with the invention of phonographv.

MATRIMONIAL JOYS.

Some Newspaper Advice on q Matter OF
Considerable Importance.
Young men, the large majority OF
you are hcvering around on the verge
Of matrimony, shiyering like mouse
colored terrier, and afraid to step of.
The great majority OF you know just
where you can put your finger on a
girl who would marry you ata seconds
notice, but you are afraid that you
couldn't satisfy the landlords. coal
dealers and milliners that man al
ways weds when he marres q woman.
You are not men! You are simply
towards, who see prize hanging
above your heads and have not the
moral courage to ascertain if your arm
is long enough and strong enough to
pluck it. My advice to you is, if you
have got q job, and you are earning
fair wages, to get married aud go to
housekeeping, if you have to begin
with an oil-stoye, a candle and a bed
lounge. This may seem to you to be
small beginning and so it is; but, once
married, the money that you now
throw away in your endeavors to quiet
your restless soul will go into furniture
and little nick-nacks, and you will soon
wake up to the fact that you are the
owner Of home. and that word means
great deal to a young fellow who has
been swimming around in the
ocean Of life ever since he was big
enough to shave himself. with his chin
just above the water. Just rs soon as
o man can stand up before the world,
point to pleasant home presided over
by a wife, who makes a harness OF
smiles with which her husband draws
his burdens Of daily cares, and say:
They are mine" he jerks his heHd
up in the ali. about six inches and goes
prancing around like yearling colt in
q new pasture. Get married, young
man, and if you use common sense III
picking out a wife you are sure to make
u success Of the venture. The world
owes YOU a living, nut it isn't going to
press it upon YOU. You will fnd that
it is Just as easy to feed two mouths as
one, providing the extra mouth is
owned by your wife. There
is nothing this side Of Heaven that can
smooth out the wrinkles in mans
disposition, or knock down the OBJ
structions that get in his path as he
tramps along through this brief proba-
tion Of life SO perfectly as the sympa-
thy and affection of trl1e, noble, self
sacrificing woman, and I am eccentric

The "old soldier" has become solely a
political question. He has fixed his own
status in the political field. It is no
longer question of gratitude but a
question of politics. PRESIDENT CLEvE-
LAND WAS DEFEATED FOR REFLECTION by
THE OLD SOLDIERS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF
THE G. A. r. They boast of this fact and
it is just as we'll that the facts be fully
understood and that the people act as
their interests may dictate.
The old soldier received better treat
ment under Cleveland's administration
than under any preceding. But the os-
tentatious patriotism of which he was the
exponent demanded that he should be-
come a republican. The organization
known as the G. A. r. labored systema-
tically to convert all its members to the
republican faith. When Cleveland We
toed the dependent pension bill, speeches
were made against him in the various
posts of this state. This was admitted
at the time by all the members.
Every person who became member of
the G. A. r. and remained in good stand
ing is republican. The old soldiers are
the implacable enemies of the democratic
party and the party should treat them as
it does all other political opponents
The sooner this fact is recognized the
better it will be for the party and the
better for the old soldiers. No party
cares to pamper those who are intent up
on destroying it.

TIE tariff reform meeting at Milwau-
kee on Thursday last was quite remark
able one. The attendance was much
larger than the most sanguine had res

characterized all present indicated very
clearly that the principle Of tariff reform
has champions who viii prove untiring
in its advocacy. It was purely a mesting
of tariff reformers. 1t was no organIza-
ton to win votes except as votes could
be gained by intelligent conviction. 1t
was movement to make party appeal to
intelligent self interest and to make the
exercise of suffrage an expression of hon
est, unprejudiced and unbought belief.
Those who think the principle Of tariff
reform was smothered in this state last
fall would soon perceive how much vita
lily there is in principle had they been
present at this gathering. It was not a
meeting OF those who mourned the loss
of Offices nor of those ambitious to taste
the flesh pots, but gathering OF men In
tent upon advancing the interests OF the
general public and preserving the spirit
OF republican institutions by opposing
the creation Of an aristocracy OF wealth.
And there was one other spirit mani
tested which from its unanimity is of seri-
GUS import to the monopolies intrenched
by protective laws: The reform demand

Col. WATRoUs' friends are urging him
for the position of Collector of Customs.
There is not man who knows the Col
onel who does not heartily wish him sue
cess. The Colonel has more warm friends
throughout this state than any other
man in it. He is one of the most cour-
teous and obliging of men and no one
has yet asked a favor of him which he
could honorably grant, and suffered a
repulse. He has in no sense been an Office
seeker. The positions he held came to
him unsought. The party which he
serves owes him great deal. In poll
tical contest the Colonel works for his
party and is even willing to take the risk
OF making enemies in his efforts to achieve
success for the principles he advocates.
But his heart is always true to his friends
no matter what their politics.

OLD Farther North, who enlivened

Association by his wit, was at the tariff
reform meeting held at Milwaukee on

organize a similar club in Scotland. The
corn laws were then oppressive to the
poor who had to purchase their bread.
But just as it is here with the farmers
now, the persons to be benefited by the
destruction OF protection, the laborers of
England who were most benefited by the
repeal OF the corn laws were the most
difficult to win over to the party who

The Milwaukee Journal took up the
case of Gov Rusk when all the politi-
clans turned from him toward Payne and
has succeeded in making him most for
midable opponent of Payne for cabinet
position, so far as the wishes of the re-
pubicans. of this state are concerned. 1t
did seem little njudicious for The Jour
nal to take part in a row which was
purely republican and to become the
champion of the weaker man. Probably
| the treatment which Rusk received while
he was candidate for the republican
nomination for the presidency induced
The Journal to aim to do him justice
now. But whatever the cause, it has sue
ceeded in making Rusk the choice OF
those who cast their votes for the repub-
lican party, though the managers are
still anxious to knife him.
The Pilot was averse to encouraging
Rusk to seek the position of Secretary OF
War because it knew he could not com.
mand the support Of those who manipu.
late the machine, which is a1l-powerful
in the distribution of the spoils through
an element of weakness on election day
But there are mutterings among the re-
publican masses at the disposition to
sacrifice Rusk second time. On popu-
lar vote among the republicans as to
which, Rusk or Payne, should go into
Harrison's cabinet the former would re-
ceive ten votes to the latter's one.
Rusk will not be chosen as the people
never speak on these subjects until they
put in a remonstrance at the election
succeeding. The Journal will not be sue
cessful in making Rusk Secretary OF
War, but it has called attention to the
manifest purpose of the managers to
slaughter him and has thus made the
selection of Payne very unwise meas
ure in the line of practical politics.
