THE origin of the word mug
wump is somewhat doubtful but
the latest research seems TO indi-
cate that the word originated in
West Virginia. It is well known
that there is q period in the exist
ence Of the animal which COM
mences life as a tadpole when be
is neither tadpole or frog. This
is Just after the tadpole loses his
tail aud it ia then that the West
Virginians call him a mugwump.
Other origins are claimed for
the word but this is probably the
correct one.

whose opinion was considered valuable.
Mr.. Clephane tried the machine and it
gave way, literally under the test. An
other was sent to him, and in the course
OF time several, each having some inn
proyement, but all met similar fate.
In 1873 the machine was thought per-
feet, and contracts for it's manufacture
were made with the Remington Machine
Works, at Ilion, n. Y.
1t was even some time after this tnat the
typewriter, as the general public know it,
was put successfully on the market, for
even with the nicely with which the fin
ished mechanics there turned out the
parts of the machine, many alterations
were found necessary. Competitors soon
sprang up, but with few exceptions the
general plan of Sholes' machine was adj
hered to. The method of throwing up
the types, the printing ribbon, the key
board and even the frame were indorsed,
so to speak. by the rival inventors, and
seemed to be accepted as the best that
gedius could devise But MIR. ShOleS'
labors had not ceased. Stricken down
with lung difficulty and confined to his
bed, he employed his time in making inn
provements on his own inventions, and
many of these were incorporated in the
machines then put on the market. and are
still used. Before he died, in February,
1890, he had constructed models for two
new machines, the last one being in his
judgment a complete triumph over all his
former efforts. James Densmore also
died in 1890, possessed of much wealth
said to have been realized by his labors
as agent and introducer of the Sholes
typewriter. Mr.. Sholes died poor man,
| comparatively, seeming to have shared
the fate of TOO many men of inventive
genius.

PURIFYING THE PRESS.
John z. Irish Expresses His Opinion
on the Movement.

John Il. Irish Expresses His Opinion
on the Movement.
The women of California are joined in
asking the daily press OF this city to be
decent-more power to them!
The San Francisco dailies are noted for
their rank quality all over the world.
They wear no fig leaf in their news and
advertising columns. No wise parent
permits their promiscuous use in his
house. They are as little entitled to be
carried in the mails as the obscene books
which are tabooed by the law.
1t is not only in their loud bugling OF
vice that they err, but their snubhing Of
virtue.\ They are the alphabet, primer
and series of readers in the school OF dirt
and indecency.
Not only this, but for sensation's sake
they lie, knowingly and purposely. The
ladies should not forget this. Not only
do the dailies abandon themselves TO the
peddling of sheer Nth and immortality,
| but they lie to an extent that purges the
reputation of Ananias.
II this lying were editorial it would not
be so harmful, for no one believes any
thing that appears as editorial in a San
| Francisco daily. The injurious lying is
done under cover of the news columns
and the sorrow and suffering it causes
may not be measured by any standard.
L know innocent families of good and
gentle people, refined and of upright eX-
ample. that have been reduced to penury
and distress through the destruction of
their earning capacity by newspaper ly-
ing.
The daily press begins with utter disre-
spect for the privacies of life Ii repulsed
at the threshold in its quest for what no
one has right to know, it takes mean
revenge in lying insinuation. In short,
the crimes of the press, and | mean
crimes, including forgeries. which, if per-
sonal acts, would be punished by convic-
tiOn TO the penitentiary, are OF nature
tor which the law furnishes no adequate
redress. Damages in libel suit are no
! recompense, and a libel suit is the only
| recourse.
| The vices of lying slander, blackmail-
| ing and blackguardism, which the law of
the State and the rule Of civilized society
have pursued and punished until they
are out of the practice OF the individual,
have sheltered their Shiny forms in inn
personal journalism and they grow there
! like toadstools in foul cellar.
The ladies have taken up against these
the weapons of warfare. Let me advise
/ them that unless they make their protest
/ felt in the cash box, they will make war
in vain. AS long as filth pays there is
not daily paper in this city that will not
be as filthy as they dare be, for money!

INVENTED BY A MILWAUKEEAN.
The Typewriter First Put Into Use by
C.. Latham ShOIeS.

The inventor of the typewriter was G..
Latham Sholes of Milwaukee, says the
Philadelphia Press. Although for many
years in poor health, he was a man OF
great energy. His inventive genius pos
sessed him at all times, and his mind was
busy with mechanical problems day and
night. He had been printer, but at the
time the typewriter was invented was
Collector OF the Port of Milwaukee, hav-
ing been some years earlier editor Of the
Milwaukee Sentinel. His associates in
the task of working out his ideal for a
writing machine were Samuel Soule and
Carlos Glidden. After the completion of
the first practicable machine James
Densmore of Meadville. Pa, became the
financial backer of the enterprise. Soon
after Soue and Glidden withdrew.
The first typewriter was built of wood
almost entirely, and was crude enough
compared with the machine of to-day. 1t
was so far satisfactory, however, that it
wrote rapidly and accurately, although
plainly not yet sufficiently perfected to

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, So 40, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions. as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre.. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land ut $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Drobable after April first, and two foun-
dries moving from the city, the outlook
"a not very bright for healthy business
eason; neither does it look as If the city
was on the road to greater prosperity.
Appropos Of strikes and lockouts, does
ft ever occur 70 people who indulge in
these Iuxuries what Q setback the city
got from the 'long strike" or lockout
ofs4-5. 10 revolutionizad the manuiact-
ury of nails, it almost annihilated that
once powerful and thrifty organization
the nauers; it drove the trade from
this TO other cities; it brought into use
the wire nail and raised more deyiltry
and mischief to the square inch than
any event within the history
OF the town. Perhaps all
that did happen, had TO come anyhow
and the lockout or "strike" only pre-
cipitated it. But 10 came nevertheless
and an the attendant evils came with it.
Sometimes these terrible visitationS are
inevitable and we must bear them. But
the REGIsrEE's advice is to take warn
ing. If possible avoid a strike or lock-
ont. In saying this the REGISTER adj
dresses itself TO the manufacturer as

suffers also from loss on investment and

damage as fire. Three protracted
strikes or lockouts beat a fire all to
smash.
