The Employers Tell Why They Will Not
 Confer With the Strikers.
 SYDNEY, N. s. w., Oct. 20.-The employers representatives have writ ten letter to the Lieutenant-Governo who sought to arrange a conference between the employ CTS and the strikers, in which they decline to- meet the strikers.
 They say the strikers broke their agreement and coerced the free men, to whom the employers owe a debt of gratitude. but, while refusing to dis pense with the free men, as the union ists demand, they express a willingness to forget bygones and to receive the strikers back on She terms in vogue before the strike in order to restore the commerce of the colony. This offer involves no animosity toward the mems unions, the employers themselves having unions. Being convinced that the strikers made an unhappy mistake the majority are willing to resume work. The letter asks the Governors influence to settle matters.

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT.
The Situation in South Carolina Very
 Bitter Over the Race Question.

The Situation in South Carolina Very
 Bitter over the Race Question.
 CHARLESTON, $. C., Oct. 20.-The situation in South Carolina, from . political standpoint, is decidedly pecu- liar. Everybody is talking politics, and the people are wrought up to a high pitch of excitement. The excite ment is confined to no class nor to any particular section 1.-the State. It is general throughout the whole State and affects both races.
 The few days now remaining before the general election in November bid fair to be days we'll filled with bitter ness and even bloodshed. The leaders of the opposing factions are hard at work, and neither side will leave a single stone unturned to insure victory.
 There are many who regret that such 8 state of things has come, but on the other hand there are others who well come the breaking of old party lines. All recognize the fact that the negro vote will be used, and many admit that the negro will be the deciding factor in the fight between the whites.
 A great many bewail this recognition of the negroes right to vote, and de- clare that the result will be that in the next four years the blacks will have control of the State. The other side retort that 1t is the part of wisdom to recognize the fact that the negro vote cannot be suppressed much longer, and to take charge of it now and get con- trol of it. They say that recognition of the negro vote is but a question of time, and that, too, of very short time, and that if they did not use it their opponents would use it two years hence to keep themselves in office.

Something for Mayor Baldwin and the whole City Government to consider.
 Some gentlemen were visiting Water bury lately and noticed the great pros. perity which appeared on every side of our city. The great manufacturing estab- lishments which are the pride of the peo pie were extending in every direction. The growth was simply marvellous. But after driving through number of our alleys that We Oall streets i've will omit the namas at present. and noticing our miserable little sidewalks, which three hens cannot walk abreast on, their esti- mate of our people began to grow beauti- fully less and they took the next train with the impression that we were only an Overgrown village, after all. hy don't sensible people move back their fences two or three feet and increase the value of their property by making it more inviting for the publc~to travel on How long is Meadow street going to be left knee deep in mud, 50 that one trip uses up horse for that day

A CoPYHOLDER FOR TYPEWRITERs

The illustration represents device easily
applied to typewriters to facilitate reading
! the lines of the copy, which can be readily
| inserted and moved as desired. 1t has been
patented by Messrs. M. L. Pipes and E. T.
Pernot, of this city. These gentlemen are
| in receipt of many applications from eastern
dealers who wish to handle the patent, and
it will doubtless prove to be source of con.
siderable revenue. The following descrip.
tion of the ccpyholder is taken from the
Scientific American:
The casing, of which an end view is
shown in Fig. l, is adapted to be fastened
to the front rail of the carriage, which is
held in suitable recess by spring pressed
hook lever. Within the casing, as shown
i'll the transverse section, Fig. 2, are two
longitudinaly extending rollers, the trun-
MONS of the upper one of which extend
| through an inclined slot In the ends of the
Easing, and are spring-pressed, to hold this
roller on the copy placed between the two
rollers. The trunnions of the lower roller
are in fixed bearings, and on the outer end
of one of them is ratchet wheel, adapted
to be engaged by double pawl on the end
Of the casing, the pawl being fulcrumed on
an arm in which is a transversely extending
! slot, into which extends one arm of bell
crank lever, whose other arm extends
downward ON the front of the machine to
within a short distance of the keys. A
spring holds this lever in normal position,
and in the front of the casing, at one end, is
slot, in which is an adjustable bolt, to
limit the movement of the lever, so that the
copy may be moved thereby just the desired
| distance Higher up in the front of the
casing is longitudinal slot through which
the lines of the copy appear, the width of
this slot being increased or diminished, ac-
cording to the height of the reading lines OF
the copy, by moving plate with arms full
crumed on the ends of the casing. A spring
pawl holds the lower roller in place after it
has been moved, and plates are arranged to
guide the copy between the rollers, upward
past the slot, and to the rearward, as shown
by the arrows in Fig. 2 When the opera
tor desires to turn the copy backward, it is
only necessary to change the double pawl
on the end of the casing, so that it's other
arm engages the ratchet wheel. The entire
copyholder is held on the carriage, moving
with and being swung upward with it when
the operator desires to examine the type
written copy.
