was the discussion of the question, Re

mental TO the best interests of our country
Mr.. +. b. Ross opened the discussion upon
behalf of the affirmative. lie gave many
interesting figures regarding the produc-
ton OF sugar, etc. He sought to prove
his side of the question by taking into con-
slderation the advance Of prices under this
bill Mr.. Mont Hallowell opened for
the negative. He commenced in a
systematic manner TO tear down his oppo-
nent's arguments. He very clearly proved.
however, that the Mckinley bill was not
the cause OF the general stagnation OF
trade. de left his side OF the question
well established until Mr. s. C.. Haynee,
Tor the affirmative, commenced to fire
grape and canister right into the fortifi-
cations of the opposition. Mr. Haynes
gave various schedules; showing the in
crease OF prices under the Mckinley bill.
He closed by mentioning the effect that
this bill would have on the Tin industry.
Mr.. Andrew A. Smith then took the floor
upon behalf OF the negative. He COM
menced by striking heavy blows right in
the midst of the opposition. He clearly
proved that the bill would help agricui-
ture to the extent of SIS, OO0, O0. He also
showed the benefit that the tin
der this system of protection by
keeping out all foreign competition
until the American factories should be
firmly established. This practically settled
the question for the negative, and the
arguments were strengthened by Mr..
HalIowell, who closed the discussion for
the negative. Mr.. Ross then closed the
debate for the affirmative. He vainly
tried TO rally his forces but to little avail.
for the sylnpathies of the audience were
manifestly with the negative. The young
men are TO be congratulated for the able
manner in which they managed the ques-
ton. 1t was unlike campaign debating
because of the absence OF party Islander.
Great credit is due Mr.. A. J. Foster for
the able manner in which he presided over
the exercises. The chapel presented a
beautiful appearance, being tastefully deco
rated by the young Indies.

Now, If the 1o5th Ohio captured only the 81

they had in line, how was il possible that max

hidden from one another by timber and bushes

or quite TO the point of attack on Wagner and

Type Settling by uacafrery.


 The substitution of mechanism for hand labor in the setting ot types. al- though long delayed, may be now con sidered as realized, says the Scientific American, and the day cannot be far distant when the typs-setting machine will be the principal reliance in all properly organized printing establish ments. In this city the New York Tribune is almost wholly set up by tue type machine. In Hartford, Conn.,, another form of machine, which proves very valuable and effective, has for some time been at work, and is thus described in inc Hartford Post;
 It may be of interest to rea6ers of the Post, as it certainly will be to con temporary publishers, to read brief and not too technical description of the workings of the type-setting ma chimes. as used in the daily produe. ton of this paper The machines are started at 7:30 o'clock every morning. small electric motor furnishing the slight power needed Each machine has keyboard, similar to that eff an ordinary typewriter, and as each key board sits y9ung lady operator. Before her is spread the copy which she is to put Tn type, and her nimble fingers pass with such rapidity over the keys that she is able to set as much type on the machine ID a gwen time as three or four compositors would in the same time set by hand. Her cease is always full, for the ma chine automatically keep itself con stantly supplied with type, and thus no time is lost in distributing. Should it be necessary to change copy at any moment, or any number of times, it can be done in an instant; and the interruption of rushing in an item at the last moment, when ma- chins happens to be otherwise em- 1 ployed, causes not the slightest incon- yenience or delay With ordinary care few or no errors are made. The machine itself cannot make mistake, and all errors that occur are the re- suit of insufficient attention or undue haste on the part of the person opera. ting it. Every letter is deftly direct ed to its proper position by the in- genious little packer with as much delicacy and positiveness as iflt pos sessed intelligence, and with such ap- parent daintiness of touch as to rem der injury to the types almost beyond possibility.

Civilized Vousiooisrn.

It is useless to argue against Q superstition. But what IS it except form of civilized "voudooiim "a be- lief in the power of spells and "be- witchIng," fear of bogies, and an acceptance of the power of malevolent "evil spirits for an educated person to give eredence to suggestions of haunted houses, "unlucky days, and all the list of evil omens and 'bad signs? These things are natural in an ignorant people, with the traditions and superstitions of barbarism still lingering in their memories and their blood Bat in men and women of en- frightened minds such eredulity is amazing The belief that a particular house or day or gem is "unlucky and fraught with evil runs counter to any rational theory of the government of the universe. How can those who be- lieve in the rnle of the Supreme Being "a conscious and just and emnlscient intelligeace-plcture their God as capable of such caprice, snch implsh maleyolenc9, as to make one dwelling out of ten thousand fatefully "un- lucky" to its inhabitants, or to visit with misfortune those of his creatures who break lookingglass or who start on a journey on Friday--an artificial designation in mushroom calendar, news of which can hardly yet have reached the dlal of the skies? Or, accepting the other theory of a government ef law, is it conceivable that the ordainments of immutable nature are subject to whimsical and maleyolent manipulahons to harass and distress human beings? Civilized voudoolsm Is an inpugnment of the Power that rules the universe. It Is degrading to the intellect of man. It is an af'ront to common sense.-New York World.
