POLK'S DESPOTISM.

some better recognition at the

suggested evil to any one and sc

ing to the prejudices and passions
that they might shape the move
ments of this mass of men and
make them a force to accomplish
personal and partizan ends.
His next movement after he.
coming advisory council was to
inoculate it with all the bitter

against merchants and lawyers.

base and false appeal had answer

up equally as frivolous and equal

reached his ultima thule" He
did this when he turned his back
upon the old soldiers and then
sought to assasinate the Demo-
cratic party by an attack upon
its press and it's leaders. First
by tanning the flame of an in
ordinate prejudice and then
issuing his order for a boycott
upon those papers that dared
oppose this self constituted auto
crat, endeavoring to stide the
voice of the public press, and
silence the only organs through
which a fair and impartial herr
ing could be had for public grievi-
ances. Messrs Polk & Co., could
never have SO imposed upon the
masses had it not been for their
ingenious misrepresentation and
their wilful perversion of facts.
No man in this free country
has before this dared to attempt
to silence the press ; it matters
not to what heights he had risen
either as scholar, politician,
ora man of money, he recognized
the right of the press to comments
upon or criticise his action as it

serious abridgement of their
rights or privileges.

Wonderful Exploits of A. c. Hobbs, t

Wonderful Exploits of A. c. Hobbs, the
Yankee Lock- Picker"
The story of the late Alfred c. Hobbs ex-
periences in picking the safety locks used by
banks forty years ago is full of interest.
His triumphs in the fiitles, which resulted in
the great improvements of bank locks which
exist to-day. caused great excitement at the
time. says the New York World, and It as
the resolution of lock-makers to stop his
iconoclastic career, so disastrous to them
selves, that led to his exploit of picking the
Herring safe in New York City,
The object which Mr.. Hobbs had in pick
Ing locks vas TO demonstrate the SUPERIOR
ity of the Day II Newell lock, which he was
selling, over all others then in use. For this
purpose he made his own touls. His first
notable feat was opening. at Stamford,
Conn.,. the lock and paddock combination Of
the Andrews Bank lock, supposed to be in
vincible. This task he accomplished in
tweDty-three minutes. For four years he
continued his work, when to stop him re-
ward of $500 was offered to any one who
would open within thirty days the Herring
sale In the Merchants Exchange, New
York. Hobbs accepted the challenge and
picked the lock in less than an hour.
His exploits IN London caused a Juror.
Bramab, the celebrated loek-maker of Lon
don. had on exhibition in his window a
lock OF his own production. He offered
200 guineas to anyone who could open it
without the key. Mr.. Hobbs studied the
lock through the window and then went to
his box and procured few TOOLS He then
went to Bramah's store and asked the clerk
to show him the lock which hing In the
window. The clerk handed it to him.
turned around and as he did so heard a
click He wheeled quickly and to his as
tonished gaze Mr.. Hobbs presented the lock
opened. The clerk summoned his EN-
ployer, who would not acknowledge that
the lock had been fairly opened. Hobbs
challenged him to public trial The chal-
lenge was accepted. and before a selected
committee Hobbs opened the lock in few
seconds. He was given the 200 guineas.
One day he strolled into the office of
Brown, Shipley Il Co.. bankers, who were
supposed to have on their vault doors tie
most secure lock in all England. Taking
advantage OF an opportunity he opened the
lock While the member of the firm with
whom he had been talking stepped out of
the room for moment. When the banker
returned and saw the vault door open his
surprise was complete. The result was an
order for set OF the locks which hobbs
was selling.
Mr. Brown. of the firm mentioned. was the
inventor OF the lock, and had written an
elaborate description, showing how MANY
million combin atoms it had, the various
wGys to lock it and only one way to open it
1t presented no difficulties to the Yankee
genius, however. In fact, fore Mr. Brown
had recovered from his surprise Mr. Hobbs
locked the vault door, and then turning his
back to it again, unlocked it In less than ten
minutes.
