AS the Christian Union says, there
is deal of common sense in this story
lately told of Edison, whether he said
1t or not. \ gentleman went to the
great electrician with his young son,
who was about to begin work as office
boy in well known business house.
The father asked Edison for motto
which the boy might take to heart in
his struggle for promotion and success.
After moments pause, Edison said,
lacOnically. Never look at the
clock" Edison meant, we take it,
that the man who is constantly afraid
he is going to work overtime or over
hours doesn't stand chance of COM
petiuG with the man who clears up
his desk no matter how long it takes.
The carpenter who leaves his hammer
hanging in the air when the whistle

We publish in another column no.
tice of an election to select candi-
date for Postmaster of this city. We
have many patriots willing and anx-
iOus to serve the public in the ca
pacity of Postmaster, and Mr.. Haugen
has wisely concluded to save his
scalp 10y leaving the question to the
Republican patrons of the office. The
election will be in the nature of party
caucus and be advisory only. Still.
there is no doubt but the endorsement
of Republican candidate by plural
ity of the votes cast will receive fav-
orable consideration by the p. A..
Department. The River Falls Post
office is the best office in Pierce
Co. the pay being 81 500 per annum
and the term continuing four years.
Mr.. +. ID. McGregor was appointed in
August 1855, but bis appointment was
not confirmed by the Senate until the
following January. He will thus have
served at the expiration or his term
about four and a half years. Mr..
Reed. his predecessor, was ousted by
the Cleveland administration, while
civil service reformer Villas presided
over the p. o. Department, some time
before the expiration of his term. At
that time no one knew of the impend-
ing change until the commission was
sent on to Mr.. MeGTegor and de-
mand was made upon the Republican
Postmaster to turn over the office.
The JOURNAL desires TO call attention
to the methods of the Harrison adj
ministration as compared with the
star chamber proceedings of Mr.. Villas.
