1t Is expected that much business of great
interest will come before the convention,
including proposition to locate the head
quarters Of the /. T. U. in Washington. and
to purchase the Typographical Temple from
the local union here for the purpose. An
effort will also be made to secure the next
biennial convention, which will assemble
in 1893, for this city. The delegates from
the Columbia Union, 1t is said. will make
an earnest effort to get the International
Typographical Union to take strong
grounds against the civil service system as
applied to the government printing Office
There Is but little doubt that the effort If
made will be strongly contested by dele
gates from many pfrts Of the country, as
1t was at the suggestion of the local union
here that civil service was extended to
the government printing office by Presiden,
Cleveland. Since the order went into
effect however. some of the members of
Columbia Union have become convinced
that it's effects are to weaken the unioa. 1t

Let Boys BE Both Seen and Heard.
From Rlaokwood's Magazii


1t is an old proverb that Little boys
should be seen and not heard" and II is
alas, many years since we heard il fire.
quently applied to ourselves. 1t was in
vented, We cannot help thinking. by some
spinster aunt, who, never having had any
little boys Of her own, and not having had
the luck to be a little boy herself, knew
nothing whatever of the feelings character,
or habits Of the boy tribe. AS We never
ourselves had a spinster aunt, our remark
is without prejudice. The boy, We hold,
who does not on occasion make a good row
and chatter consumedly, Is either an UNI
natural being or is bottling up his energies
for some less legitimate purpose. In either
case he Is to be labeled as a suspicious
character.
As We bethink us of that other proverb,
The devil finds work for idle hands to
do We instinctively find ourselves sympa-
thiZing with his satanic majesty as being
a heavily taxed individual, especially I'm a
populous and prosperous country In which
boys are born at the rate of some thou
sands a day But the moral of the two
proverbs Is that boys are not meant 10 live
a vapid and unintellectual existence but
should occasionally spend some time, even
out of school hours, In sensible reading.
