earnestness or less sagacity2 Reforms
are often delayed by an attempt to Sc
cure too much, while progress is usually
made little at Il time. If one chcrlshes
the hope of laying up a competency
for old age, he does not refuse to save
anything until he can save all that he
desires. If he is wise he lays aside a
little each day and makes it the foun-
dation for his fortune. Society moves
forward slowly. Circumstances make
it possible to rise to plane little
higher than that occupied before and
from this new vantage ground the
fight is renewed for the capture of
some greater height. Holland has
expressed an idea which may be ap-
piled to the unceasing contest waged
by those who wonld improve the con-
dition of society and promote the vel
fare of the human race. He says:
icaNSu 10 hOt Shiucu uy q c'hbiS po""Ns
We build the ladder by which we rise
From the lOwly earth to the vaulted skies.
Aud mount to its summit round by round"
HE SAYS LET OTHER ISSUES WAIT.
Many millions of our people be-
lieve that the reforms above emu
merated will bring vast advantages
to the producers of wealth, but
whether the advantage be much or
little, these are things which lie inn
mediately in front of us, and they
must be decided one way or the other
before more remote questions, even
thought they be greater ones, can be
seriously considered. What though
there may be questions which may
ultimately separate those who fought
together in the last campaign, will
Democrats, Populists or Silver Repub-
licans be the worse for having secured
those things for which they are jointly
contending?
STRENGTH IN UNION, WEAKNESS IN d.
VISION.
Cooperation is means to an end,
not the end itself. To secure few
things is better than to advocate many
things and get nothing. Our oppo-
nents not only recognize that there
is strength in union, but they also
recognize that there is weakness in
division, and therefore they may be
expected to present a united front
whenever the interests of aggregated
wealth are attacked, and they may be
expected to spread dissensions wher-
ever possible along the reform forces.

TELEGRAPHY WITHOUT NOISE.
New SOunder Aids the Operator
and Makes Secrecy Possible.

New SOunder Aids the Operator
and Makes Secrecy Possible.
The introduction of typewriting
machines in telegraph offices, on
which operators take down the mes
sages received, has necessitated in.
creasing the volume of sound emanat-
ing from the saunders in order to
make their clicks clearly distinguish
able above the clicks of the typewrit-
ing machine, says the Electrical Engi-
neer. The result has been that the
noise in telegraph offices has in many
cases increased to such an extent as to
be serious menace to the health of
the operators. In order to reduce the
noise and to make the received mes
sage entirely secret special sounder
has been invented. The sounder,
which is incloscd in a hard rubber
case, is very light, the whole thing
with conducting cord complete, weigh
ing but four ounces. 1t can be used
not only without the slightest incon-
venience to the operator, but much to
his comfort and advantage, relieving
him of all unnecessary nerve and
physical strain. 1t can be attached
directly to the main line, where it
acts as a combined relay and sounder,
giving all the service OF both without
any of the disadvantages and annoy
ances of main line sounder.
The mechanism of this little instru-
ment is very simple, consisting of
set of electromagnetic of from to
$50 ohms resistance according to re-
quirements). An ingenious arrange
ment of the armature and lever brings
the former in actual contact with the
poles of the magnets in such a man.
ner rs to double the working forces of
the armature. The armature lever is
provided with hammers, which, in ac-
ton, strike upon resonating plate; a
shifter or switch at the side of the
case draws the hammers from the
plate and reduces the sound to mini
mum.
Owing to the loudness of the sound
when the hammers strike upon the
resonating plate, messages may be re-
ceived with the sounder placed on the
table or desk, and in this way it may
also be used for call, thus combining
in one instrument both a loud sound
and secret sounder. Should it be de-
sired to take secret message, the
sounder is adjusted from the outside
by means of the shifter referred to,
which is graded so that the operator
may regulate the volume of sound to
suit his own ear. This may be from
the faintest click to the full volume
of the loudest sounder. The instru-
ment is then worn ON the head. The
case and headband being made of hard
rubber, insures the operator from
shock from abdormal currents passing
over the line.

Here are nine issues which are not
only important in themselves, but are
now prominently before the people.
Are these reforms worth securing?
These questions were submitted to the
people at the last election, but they
we're not settled, and will not be set
tied until they are settled right.
CONSPIRACY OF GOLD AND MONOPOLY.
The Republican party is trying to
commit the country more thoroughly
to the gold standard. Even now it is
endeavoring to secure legislative en-
dorsement OF the policy of paying all
coin obligations in gold. 1t pretends
to be much concerned about national
honor and the public credit. The
leaders Of the party know that a
debtor, whether a public debtor or a
private debtor, meets all the require
ments of the law, moral as we'll as
statutory, when he discharges his OBJ
legation according to the terms of the
contract. They know that all through
the war the government, and private
debtors as we'll, paid coin obligations
in gold, although gold was worth three
cents on the dollar less than silver.
And yet these leaders would accuse
Abraham Lincoln of dishonor rather
than incur the displeasure Of the Wall
street magnates, who now control the
financial policy of the Republican
party.
These leaders know that if the Fed.
eral Government declares its purpose
to pay all obligations in gold, its ex'
ample will be used as an argument to
force gold contracts upon State and
municipal government, and upon pri-
vate citizens. These leaders know that
if their scheme is carried out, the very

AN EMERGENCY Is UPON US.

In great crises the patriotism OF the
American people always rises sufficient
for any emergency. An emergency
is now upon us; it will require all the
intelligence and patriotism of the peo'
pie to rescue the government from
the hands of party which has be-
come the defender and abetter ol
every form of political vice. In such
a crisis there is no time to discuss the
ultimate effect of cooperation upon
any particular party. We may rest as
sured that the people will besto~
honor where honor is due, and that
that party which shows the greatest
devotion to the welfare of the people
will in the end receive due credit fol
every laudable endeavor.
