The state senate has caused good
deal of uncOmplimentary comment by
putting more employees on the pay roll
than the law allows. The republican
legislature of 1889 amended the law and
limited the number Of employees to sixty
six. The present senate got seventy
three on the pay roll and had several
more on the way when halt was called.
Auditor Moore served notice that he
would not sign vouchers for more than
the number allowed by Law, and the sem
ate then began to strike useless employ
ees from the roll. Both populist senates
overrode the law in this matter, but that
should not serve as a precedent for q
republican senate. The practice OF re-
grown until it is an outrage and We are
glad to see a stop put to 1t. Eugene
Moore and all others who have insisted
that the law should be complied with are
right, and should have the moral support
of every law abiding citizen OF the state.
The above, from the Osceols Record,
is the right kind of talk at all times, but
especially SO these days, and We are glad
to note that Senator Sprecher of this
district has lined up alongside Auditor
Moore No matter If other senates have
violated the law-such violation should
be all the greater incentive to present
duty. Nebraska is perfectly willing to
pay for all she receives, but has no money
to spare illegally, or for work not needed
let there be more attention given
against plundering all around, and less
to personal pulling for place, and our
counties, with the entire state, will be
better of.

THE legislature is determined from
some early efforts made in the present
session, to thoroughly revise the penal
code and increase the penalty for such
minor offenses as stealing hogs, sheep,

offenders, who are becoming numerous
throughout the state, would be a six

REPCBLICANISM is at a premium in
France. The resignation of Casimir-
Perier as president, it was feared. would
he sad blow to the republic, but it did
not so prove. Republicanism in France
is stronger today than after the assassi-
nation of Carnot. From all accounts of
the new president, his administration
promises to be representative of the peo-
pie in a sense that Perier's was not. He
who does not know the wish of the peo-
pie. or, if knowing it, does not endeavor
to fulfill it, has no business to hold Office
of any kind in a republican form of
government.

There is q movement ON foot toward

republics. The following correspond

MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION,
CINCINNATI. Oct. ..
Thomas P. Egan. ESQ:
DEAR SIR-Notin2 your communication OF
this day addressed to the editor Of The Com
mercial Gazette, it occurs to me that this is
just the kind Of work that the Manufacturers
association should undertake to accomplish
and, as you are O member of that association
II you agree with me. will convene an early
meeting Of the executive committee to consult
with you and any others who may be interest
ed in the proposal You put forward for the
purpose Of taking practical steps toward its
accomplishment. Yours truly,
w. T. PERKINS, President.
CINCINNATI, Oct. g.
Manufacturers Association of Cincinnati and
Hamilton County, Mr.. W. T. Perkins, Presi
dent, Cincinnati:
DEAR SIR-Your favor Of the 25th is at hand
noticing an article published in the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette in regard to q meeting Of
the manufacturers Of the United States who
export their goods and are looking for that
trade. The plan is to organize the manufac-
turers of the United States into compact
body. SO that there will be some organization.
The interest Of the manufacturers is the ad-
vancement Of their trade with all the nations Of
the earth, and we expect to accomplish the fol
lowing:
First.-The renewal of the reciprocity trea-
ties between the United States and all foreign
countries, which treaties were rescinded by
the recent Wilson, or German, tariff bill.
Second.-To hold worlds fairs, or United
States expositions, in the capital of each South
American country, the first exposition to be
held in the City Of Mexico not later than 1897
Third.-TO devise ways and means to better
and facilitate trade with our South American
cousins. These, OF course, are only some Of
the points to be taken up. Your Manufactur-
ers' association being an organized local body
and right in line for handling this business,
and being q member OF your organization, /
thought best to submit the matter to you and
suggest that your organization call q special
meeting Of the manufacturers, as to start
tn. enterprise.
Part of this plan-viz, the holding of q Mexi-
can exposition under the patronage of Presi-
dent Diaz-originated with Dixie of Atlanta,
and committee of manufacturers of Cincin-
nxti, who decided that, as Cincinnati is very
central and easily gotten to from north, south.
east and west, the convention be held there.
Awaiting your further pleasure, I remain,
yours truly, THOMAS p. EGAN,
President j. A. Fay & Egan Company. Cincin

mutual life insurance
companies would find favorable field of
operations. The fact is that many thous-

to keep up life insurance COM
panies in other states, the main items OF
being the large salaries paid to
the managing officials. Among the bills
in the legislature the present
session. there is one for the authorization.
of mutual life insurance companies. We
have not seen a copy of it, but if it is
anything like it ought to be, members
should lop off any Objectionable features,
and secure its passage, SO that Nebraska
may be enabled to keep her money at
home and save expense to those who
need every dollar they can earn.

SEWARD county is finding artesian
water, it seems, as Platte county has
done. We clip the following from the
Reporter: "The editor made visit to
Beaver Crossing last week, and while
there took occasion to examine some of
the flowing wells. These wells are a
great curiosity, and must be a very great
advantage to the town and vicinity. The
water gushes forth from the earth in a
stream as large as the we'll, and rises to
height varying from three to ten feet
above the ground. 1t has considerable
force, and the supply seems to be mex
haustible. The flowing wells can only
be obtained on the river bottom, and tho
water rises to a uniform height, the
difference in the height, above ground,
of the rise being according to the eleva-
tion of the land. The water can be made
available for power for running machi-
merry, and it makes the possibilities of
irrigation very great. The entire area
wherein the flowing wells are found can
be easily irrigated, and made practically
independent OF rainfall. The result
ought to be a wonderful growth of every
thing planted in the valley. Beaver
Crossing and vicinity will no doubt ben
eft very greatly from the flowing wells"

TIE President on Monday sent to
both houses of congress q message on
the financial question. He says the real
trouble is a widespread and increasing
lack of confidence in the continuing
ability or disposition of the government
to pay its obligation in gold. The only
way for the government to obtain gold is
by the issue and sale OF bonds, and SO
long as there are currency notes of the
government in circulation, for which the
gold can be demanded and is demanded,
the same notes may do duty many. times
in drawing gold from the treasury. He
gives the large sums that have been
drawn from the treasury and adds: they
have been expended without any can
collation. of government obligations or
in any permanent way benefiting our
people or improving our pecuniary situa-
tion. He insists on large gold reserve
as essential. His opinion is that the
of the treasury should be
to issue bonds of the govern
ment for the purpose of procuring and
sufficient gold reserve and
the redemption and cancellation Of
United States legal tender and treasury
notes issued for the purchase of silver
under the law of July IA. 1890; the prin-
cipal and interest on these bonds should
be payable on their face in gold. He
closes his message with an assurance of
his anxiety to cooperate with the present
congress in any reasonable measure of
relief. and expresses determination to
leave nothing undone which furnishes
hope for improving the situation or
checking a suspicion Of our disinclina-e
ton or desirability to meet, with strict
est honor, every national obligation.

J. B. ER1oN of the Nebraska Bureau of
Labor, in his report to the legislature,
describes the dams that would be prOfita-
BILE to build across ravines, at tho head
of gnlches, ETC., for catching and holding
the extra waterfall, and thus enabling to
irrigate. The Allerton "a large ranch
near Cedar Rapids), will have eight such
reservoirs ready for use, says the Com
mercial, as soon as the dams now being
constructed, are completed. "A force of
about fifty men have been at work on
them all winter. Some of the dams are
fifty feet nigh and nearly as broad on
top. They are built generally on Sec
ton lines, and are great improvement
to the roads crossing the gulches. Some
of the reservoirs will back water for
nearly a mile. Besides their value for
watering stock and for irrigation, the
larger ones will make splendid pleasure
resorts for fishing, hunting, boating and
A peculiar thing about stand
ing water in Nebraska is that it never
becomes stagnant. One of these reser-
voirs was in use last season, furnishing
excellent water for stock and during the
dryest time had water enough in it to
swim a steer. We have no doubt but
that in five years this country will be
dotted all over with these valuable and
improvements"

She smiled and rejoiced in her own
heart as she heard her cousins condemn
the new Doctor as too selfish and hard
working to suit their idle tastes, and
her eyes grew brighter each day as
some new tale of his kindness reached

They seldom met, and then only few
words were uttered; but even these few
did the gentle girl much good she felt
that she had need of them.
One bright wintry day, when he met
her and asked her to share his life

seemed only natural that his nature
should claim hers when the time came,
and she was proud and happy in his

MODERN HALF-TONE ENGRAVING.
How the Beautiful Illustrations OF the
Cheap Magazines Are Made.

Pictures for the illustration of maga-
zines and newspapers are now made dl-
rect from photographs. a glass screen
with diamond-cratched lines ruled at
right angles so closely together that the
spaces can hardly be distinguished is
placed one-eighth of an inch in front of
the sensitive plate in the Photographic
camera. Looked through, the effect is
much the same as gazing through
sieve. These lines reappear in the half
tone engraving when printed.
The photograph, or wash drawing,
from which the photo-engraying is
taken, is photographed in the usual
way and with the usual sensitive plate.
with The previously described screen in
the camera between the plate and the
picture. This produces a negative OF
the picture showing the fine cross lines
represented by clear glass. Now, in
order TO have the same position o. the
object in the engraving as in the
original, the film of the negative is
treated to one or two coats of collolion,
which gives it a sufficient consistency
10 permit of i.s being removed. This
film is transposed to the opposite side
of another glass. After careful mount
ing this new negative is ready 10 be
used as a medium for printing or the
zine plate.
The face of the plate is butfed to the
highest degree of polish, then coated
with a solution of albumen and gelatine,
then sensitized with bichromate am
monia. 1t is then dried and placed in
the printing frame, the coated side next
to the negative film. The case is then
exposed to The sun or light three to five
minutes, or to an electric light for fif-
teen to twenty minutes. The light
passes through the heavy inch thick
glass of the printing frame, then
through the negative, striking the sell
sitized plate, and decomposing the
chemicals wherever it may fall. Where
the plate is protected 10y the shadows
and half-tones of the negative the sun
light has less effect, and where the
shadows are dense il has no effect.
This plate is then removed from the
frame in a dark room, and carefully
washed under running water for several
minutes, then dried aud heated until
the picture appears of a dark-brown
color. The back of the plate is rubbed
with wax while hot to protect it from the
etching solution, which is made from
per chloride of iron. The picture on
the plate is acid proof, and the etching
solution Cats only where the plate is un-
protected-that part which is blank in
the finished engraving. The plate is al
lowed to remain in the acid bath for
about fifteen minutes, or until sufficient
depth is obtained. 1t is then washed,
and is ready for the router and the
printer.
