How To Build Up a Town.

Every growing, ambitious western
or southern city desires more factories.
1t wants them of different kinds, also,
80 that one may be busy while another
is dull, and skilled labor will be in ac-
tive demand. In order to attract invest
ments all such towns should help elect
protectionist congressman and make
their influence felt by chambers Of com
MERGE and the press in favor of protec-
tion. Such displays of the industrial
spirit impel manufacturers to establish
factories and encourage their wealthy
friends to invest therein. When a town
votes for rampant free trader for con
gress, and through It's board of trade
denounces manufacturers as "monopo-
lists" it is likely TO be left severely
alone, despite all probable undoubted
natural advantages.

Where Franklin Flew His Kite.

Colonel Enoch Taylor of this city,
speaking Of the researches of the sa-
wants into the vagaries of lightning, re-
marked that probably there were few
people who ever gave a thought when
they crossed Spring Garden street in
the vicinity of Thirteenth street that
they were walking over the spot where
Benjamin Franklin few his kite. Yet
such is the fact. A diagonal line from
the southeast corner Of what is now
known as Thirteenth street TO Spring
Garden will about cover the space in
which Poor Richard" drew lightning
from the clouds. 1t was bare field
then, with a few farms and country
houses scattered around. Bostonians
fondly imagine that it was on Boston
Common Franklin conducted his expert
ments. That's mistake 1t was in the
Quaker City and on the spot referred to-

That Capture Again.

During the months ending May 81,
1894, we sold 90, 430,30 bushels of
American corn in the markets of the
world, but during the corresponding l /
months ending May 81, 1895, we sold
only "a, 702,6l7 bushels in the same
markets. The smaller sales by 81, 700,
600 bushels since the markets Of the
world have been thrown open to us need
little explanation from our free trade
friends. While they are about it they
might just as we'll investigate the de-
crease of 10, 400, 900 bushels in our sales
of wheat, and why the foreigners have
taken 400, 900 barrels less of our -four

been taken from the west, except
in the single instance of the nomina-
ton of Blaine in 1884, when it was
beaten for the first time after nearly
a quarter of century of triumph.
Seldom in the history of the party
has a citizen of New York received
the unanimous support of the delega-
ton from that state in nominating
convention. Seward was thus hon
ored in 1860, and Depew in 1888.
In 1884 the delegation was divided be-
tween Arthur, Blaine and Edmunds,
and in all other cases, except in 1876,
when it presented Conkling, but did
not give him its unanimous support,
the state has had no candidate Of its
own. 1t has never been considered
necessary to put New York man at
the head of the republican ticket in
order TO carry the state; ana as a
matter of fact, the two parties have
alternately carried it in presidential
years since 1864. The locality argu-
ment is of no value, therefore, to a
New York republican who wishes to
be president, particularly for next
year, when it will be the states turn
to 60 republican anyhow. 1t is pos
sible that a man from some other
eastern state-Reed from Maine, for
instance-may be chosen; but the
logic of analogy points to the proba-
BILE selection of man living at least
as far west as Ohio, the only GER
tainty being that no matter where he
may hail from, he will be elected by
a large majority, and give the coun'
try satisfactory and profitable adj
ministration.-St Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

THE Grand Army of the Republi

THE Grand Army of the Republic
is now holding its first reunion south
of the Ohio river-in the country of
the late enemy, in fact-at Louisville,
KY. The veterans are being royalty
welcomed and lavishly entertained,
ex-confederates, under the leadership
of Col. Henry Watterson, vieing
with each other and with other citi-
zens in making the grizzled visitors
feel at home. The NORTHERNER be-
leves the location of the great re-
union at Louisville was wise and
patriotic move on the part of the Or.
A. r. The southerners will find the
veterans loyal Americans, who, we
trust, will display none of the unfor-
tunate animosites of the late un-
pleasantness, which should have died
with the surrender of Lee. The old

will find the spirit of the rebellion
dead, and those who in the sixties
were firing on the flag will now be
loudest in their cheers around the flag
stats from which the folds of proud
cold Glory" float. Yes, this reunion
is fortunately located and should do
much towards sounding the death
knell to that monstrous outgrowth of
the rebellion, sectionalism. Those
who fought for the north and those
who fought for the south will find
that their old enemies are now en-
listed with themselves in the com
mon cause of maintaining the dignity
of the American flag and advancing
American prosperity.

Engraving on Glass.

A most ingeniously contrived machine
for engraving on glass, insuring the rap
id and economic production of decora-
tive work in that line, as also in metal
manufactures of every variety, is de-
scribed in The English Mechanic.
Among the merits claimed for this de-
vice is the fact Of there being no limit
10 the number of objects that may be
operated upon simultaneously, with a
perfect uniformity of workmanship, and
further, the facility with which this
machine, being of 10 multiplying pow
er, can be operated upon and replaced
with fresh objects, is another important
Characteristic, and three different pat
terms may be produced in one hour on
a single machine. The construction of
this apparatus fulfills the desideratum
of great simplicity, it would appear !;
that is, the globes, or whatever is to be
engraved are fixed on platforms in two
upright cylindrical forms, these plat
forms being raised or lowered as desired
by means of handle, and the engrav-
ing needles are applied or Yet off by
touch Of the treadle-the pattern to be
followed resting on board at the back.

NJ. Daudet, the eminent French au-
thor, was for long time an usher in a
second rate school on pittance which
scarcely sufficed to keep body and soul
together. After time he grew sick Of
this hard and unremunerative kind Of
work, and then made his way TO Paris,
where he arrived with only capital Of
two shillings and bundle of poems
He was fortunate enough to find pub
Usher for the latter almost at once, and
it was not very long before he obtained
journalistic employment, which kept
him going until he found novel writing
sufficiently lucrative to provide him
with living. Now he can command
almost any price he likes to ask for his
books and articles, and must be a very
wealthy man.-Paris Letter.

The Locality Argument.

The assertion of Senator Hill that
the democrats must select their can
didate for president from the west
next year if they expect to stand any
chance of success may be true, but
it is contrary to the practice of the
party ever since the war. In the
last seven campaigns, the democratic
candidate has been taken not only
from the east but from the single
state OF New York. Seymour was
nominated in 1868, Greeley in 1872,
Tilden in 1876, Hancock in 1880,
(he being resident of and a voter
in the state when nominated, though
native of Pennsylvania, and Cleve-
land in 1884, 1888 and 1892. These
successive selections from the same
state have been made upon the the
DRY of the necessity of carrying that
state, and the claims of men living
elsewhere have counted for nothing
against this argument. 1t is true
that only twice has the result justi-
fed adherence to the rule; but it
has a strong hold upon the party,
nevertheless, and will be hard to
change. Force of habit is potent
influence in politics as in everything
else. That is probably the principal
reason why Mr.. Whitney is being
talked of as candidates; and the
fact that he lives in New York may
be considered an advantage to him
in case he concludes to make the
race.
On the other hand, the candidates
of the republican party have always

Papers that are friendly to free trade
have recently been publishing, from
time to time, lists of manufacturing
concerns that have advanced the rates
of wages paid to their employees.
These advances have almost invaria-
bly, been over the low rates that were
paid in 1894 and are simply restora-
ton toward the high wage scales that
were paid in 1892 when the Mckinley
policy of protection was undisturbed.
The free traders. however, omit to men,
tion this fact, and endeavor TO create
belief that recent advances have raised
wages above the rates paid TO employees
in 1892. For the purpose of making a
thoroughly impartial investigation of
this subject the American Protective
