The Conditions.

The NEWS has no wish to load its offer
with useless conditions. 1t only asks that
its readers select "a man who is a citizen
OF the United States. who earns his living
by daily labor and who is able and willing
TO send an occasional letter giving the re.
suits of his observations. Empioyes of
the NEWS are, of course, debarrcd from
competing.

Mr.. "a. ii. w. s" letter Is we'll written,
but we are forced TO take issue with it's
conclusions Early in the contest the
NEWS ruled that any one who worked for
wages In any useful productive or dis
trlbutive business was "a workingman
within NEWS" understanding of the
term. A collector works, and works hard,
for wages. One of the candidates is n
messenger in bank, another sells tickets
in theatre, another is a carpenter another
an iceman, three are weavers, though
only one OF them-Mr. Watson-now
works at the loom, one is an overseer, one
conductor, etc. The philosophy which
would deny the title "workingman" TO "a
collector, messenger or conductor and
allow it only to those who work with
their hands takes very narrow inter-
probation of the word work.
Here is our original definition: Anyone
who works for wages, except in the liquor
business. At this late date il must stand.
Under it we should cheerfully admit a
teacher or dry goods clerk as eligible

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.

In one week from yesterday the
nation will be in a great fight at The
ballot-box. This quadrennial battle
is of very great Importance, and in
tiuences for good or i'll all the interests
of the country. 1t may have q power
full effect upon the coun;ry's pros
perity with which is wrapped up The
contentment and happiness OF the
people. It is true that our States are
supreme in many respects, and in cer-
tam matters will be uniphuenced by
the result OF a Presidential election,
yet in many things it affects Lne
States as we'll as the Territories and
the District of Columbia. Our for
eiRn relations depend much upon it.
Moral questions are also involved.
Thus it becomes every intelligent citi-
zen to carefully read, and deeply con-
slider the platforms" of the various
parties before he casts his ballot. The
platforms" Of the political parties
are the great public banners inscribed
with the principles. and setting forth
the purposes of tho parties at the back
of them. AS such they are helpful to
the voter in forming his decision for
which party he will vote. 1t is of
importance that they be cleer and
definite; otherwise they are hard to
DO understood and deceptive. "Plat.
forms" are also promises to the people;
hence the question should be raised:
Is the party able and willing 70 fulfill
themP 1t is not. to be expected that
any platform" will be perfectly right
ON all subjects; therefore the voter,
with the several platforms" before
him should ask, which of these en-
bodies most completely bis principles,
and which most strongly advocates
and most urgently demaods legisla
ton favorable to the interests Of that
part of the country in which he lives.
This may be regarded as selfish; but
il CHARITY begins at home" it is a
very forcible motive.

A shuttle manufacturer in Massa-
chusetts has effected an improvement in
that mechanism which promises to be Of
considerable practical value in the oper-
atoms Of wooden mills. In lieu of the
ordinary hinged spindle for receiving
and holding the bobbin of yarn, short
rigid spindle is employed in combination
with two holding jaws, one above and the
other below the head of the bobbin; the
latter they clasp and securely hold in a
central position, single spiral spring
being arranged in the base of the shut
tie SO as to exert an equal pressure on
the bobbin holding jaws, between which
it is placed. As a result of this unique
construction all splitting of the bobbins
arising from the use of the long pointed
hinged spindle is obviated, with conse-
quent saving of waste yarn. The trouble
from the breaking of this yarn by the
canting of the spindle point in the weav-
ing operation is also overcome.-New

The Box Tortoise,

Though the tortoise is slow of food, it is
quick to make the best of all its available
modes of defense. The box tortoise pos
sesses a singular defensive apparatus. The
plastron or shell covering the under part
of the body is so formed that its front seq
ment can be drawn upward TO protect the
animals head, the head meanwhile be
ing drawn back under the carapace or
shell on the back of the tortoise.
The upper and under shells then meet in
front, forming a kind of box in which the
creature is unassailable. When the dan
ger is passed the reptile relaxes a muscle,
and the raised part of the plastron falls,
allowing the head and fore feet to come
forth. This movable plate is fastened to
the plastron by a strong hinge Of elastic
hgament.-Iouth's Companion.

MY LITTLE LOVE.

My little love, the liveiong day,
I've waited, toiled and dreamed,
And wondered should meet you here;
And sweet at times Ii seemed
That all my LIES light would go out
Into waste so drear,
If, when the shadows fell about,
failed to find you here.
All, surely there's lesson to
Be learned in love like this.
Naught save the hand of heaven, dear,
Could bring such boundless bliss.

Il is proposed that each Journalist addressed
shall send 20 Secretary T. &. Morton, at Rich
mond. a copy OF bis issue rs nearly as may be TO
tho lst OF January, 1893. The newspapers will
be bound together aud the magazines died, and
all the publications thus collected win 90 Kept

position these publications will be turned over

served among the archives Of the state, ana IN
