operated in a manner somewhat
There is nothing in the
way of clerical work, involving the
preparation of legal and CONNER"
cial papers, even including the adj
dressing Of envelopes and postal
cards, the endorsing Of files, and
the filing out Of blanks, as in pre-
pairing deeds, transfers, assignments
p wers Of attorney, and orders Of
all kinds, which cannot be perA
formed with facility and rapidity
by means Of this really wonderful
machine.
The linking ribbon which Mr..
Fisher has placed upon his ma
chine forms a permanent record
which can neither be efiaced nor
dulled by time nor by actual
washing and rubbing, the wri' er
having seen MIR. Fisher thoroughly
sponge a page imlAediately after
having printing an article thereon,
without in the slightest degree
blurring the characters.
Mr.. Fisher did not construct this
complete machine by a single ef~
fort, but by series Of successive
improvements upon the original
idea conceived by him several
years ago, and each embodiment
of the mechanism was covered, as
it was developed, by United States
patents. Also, patents have been
secured in the principal foreign
countries in which the machine ID
liable to come ntO use.

ground all the time, and will Bit

cans are not talking for publica>

Comptroller Eokles has a plan
which he says in his annual res
port he is certain would go far tor
wards curing our financial ills.
The foundation of his plan is to
decrease the tax on National bank
circulation and encourage the
formation of banks with $4,000
capital in small towns and villages
and to allow them to issue curren~
cy to the face of the bonds they
have deposited in the United State
Treasury, Neither Senators nor
Representatives have been falling
over each other in their efforts to
get the plan of Mr. Eckles' before
Congress, and there isn't the sights
est likelihood of their doing 80.
The House as usual, is ahead of
the Senate in the matter Of doing
business. 1t has passed the regu

a number of minor measures.

Senators were playing for bigger

A Tennessee Invention.

Even in this age of invention no
art has taken a more rapid stride
than that of typewriting by the re-
cent development OF the Inventions
of Mr., Robert J. Fisher, of Athens,
Tennessee, for which patents have
been secured through his attorneys
G. A. Snow & Co., of Washington,
D. G. For manv years typewrit-
ing machines have been in almost
universal use in general business
circles. having been utilized for
writing letters and preparing briefs
invoices, and similar papers. Hence
the usefulness Of handwriting has
been limited almost entirely to
bookkeeping and the recording of
deed and wills, for which purpose
it is customary to employ heavy
ledgers. The same objection
which has been offered TO hands
writing for commercial purposes,
and which was the cause Cfthe rap
id substitution of typewriting ap.
piled with equal force to the use
of handwriting il recording deeds,
etc., namely, the greater amount Of
space required for handwriting Ov
err that necessary for printed or
typewriter characters, the lack of
uniformity IN the characters when
more than one clerk is employed
to inscribe the records, and the
fact that handwriting characters
are less legible than printed char
acters. But il has been impossible
previous TO the production of MIR.

Washington Letter.
From OR Special Correspondent.

Senator Allen exploded bomb |
that shook the Senate from centre
to circumferer ce when he moved |
that the DingIey bill be taken up,
and the motion was made up of %
republicans, 6 democrats, 5 popuN
lists and Senator Pettigrew who is
now classed is an Independent, and |
the vote against it of 2 republicans,
Is democrats and 3 independents,
Cannon, Dubois and Mantle. Sen
ator Allen said he made the motion
without consultation with anybody
and solely to show that the pOpu-
list Senators were not standing in
the way Of revenue legislation. In
reply to questions from Senator
Aldrich Mr.. Allen said that while
he would not vote for the DingleY
bill as 1t passed the House, it
could easily be put in shape that
would get his vote and that of 9th.
err Senators who were not republi%
cans. but be did Mt mention what
that shape was. The Dingley bill
was before the Senate less than 30
minutes, when the expiration Of
the morning hour" sent it back to
the calendar, Mr.. Allen having
failed to get unanimous consent
for it to be the unfinished busi4
ness of the next. 1t can be taken
up at any time by majority vote,
but as the bill Is now, owing 10 the
action of the Senate at the last sess
sion, bill for the free coinage Of
silver instead of a revenue bill, its
passage In that shape would be
merely duplication the work Of the
last session.
