REWARD THE PRESS.

Quite little fiutter of excitement has |
pervaded Phillpsburg newspaper circles
during the past week. The cause of the
agitation is accounted for by the news Of
the receipt by our co-laborer, Editor
Lon r. Hoss OF the Citizens Call, OF
$1,000 BILL the gift OF Senator-elect
w. A. Clark There is no doubt Of it,
whatever, as the lucky newspaper man
has the stuff right down in his jeans.
This is as it should be. Mr.. Hoss has
advocated Mr.. Clarks cause for years,
and whenever conflict was necessary
with any other party, or the various fac
tions Of the Democratic party, Mr.. Hoss
has not minced matters, but has done
his best to impress upon his party the
fact that Mr. Clark was just the man for
the United States senate-even when
most of us believed it to be case OF
butting up against stone wall
Many candidates for Office almost ig-
more newspaper or look upon 1t as
secondary consideration in campaign,
and feel that if the editor is given job
to print a thousand or two campaign
cards their duty ends and the news
paper man is sufficiently compensated to
devote several columns a week in extol.
ling the virtues of the various candidates
upon the ticket He may haye to work
six nights week-Sunday as well-ln
order to get up sufficient "matter' to
prove that he is doing his might for his
ticket. The expense, the strain, and the
wear and tear on the ''gray matter"
(which is considerable with most of us)
he must devote to his party, content'ng
himself with picking up the crumbs in
compensation.
A newspaper is as essential to the
prosperous termination of political
campaign as are the salaries attached to
the several Offices. In proof that the
salaries are quite formidable factor,
the reader is requested to stop and ponder
and call to mind the instances he can
record of candidates tumbllng over one
another IN a mad scramble to secure
nomination and election to the offices
of coroner, public administrator or any
other without the salary appendage, in
Granite county. The value of news
papers in campaign is becoming more
conspicuously apparent each year, ano
we hone. as time rolls on, that the over.

cause.
> Mr.. Clark has paved the way and SCI
an example which we hope will be imi
tated by other prominent political as
plrants. In order to facilitate matters
and to lead them into paths they have
not yet known, we intend to sent
. marked copies of this issue 10 the lead

who has had more or less connection
with the case.
Mr. McCune told us the story of hi.
interview. He said that as he cam,
out Of the drug store, after leaving
Law, he saw Law talking to a mar
who had been standing near the dool
| when he went into the store. AS he
went across the street Law caught VI
with him and said that Mr. McCunC
ought not to be hard on him. as the
papers were full of rumors that haC
led him to take the course he had. The
( two shook hands and Mr.. McCune said
/ that he noticed Law only give him two
! fingers and his thumb"
AN ELECTION SURE.
How many votes did you expect to
receive last Saturday" asked Senator
Howell.
"Thirty-one without the vote of Mr.
Peery, who was ILL., but thirtv-one
! would have elected that day"
Fisher Harris was recalled for one
question. He said that Mr.. McCune
was very much wrought up when he
heard that Law had brought charges
against him and when he learned that
Law had said McCune had given him
money in shaking hands. Mr.. McCune
said: That's what the internal scoun-
drel meant by shaking hands with me
that way"
Waldemar Van Colt started to relate
how he had telephoned the news of
the Law charge TO McCune headquar-
ters. but Mr.. Evans objected and the OBJ
lection was sustained. Not without
some demur on the part of Represent
alive Cummings, however. Mr.. Cum
mings said that there was doubt in
his mind as to who had sent the mes
sage to McCune headquarters and
what was sent. II asked Abel John
Evans only the other day if he had sent
that message, and he said he had not"
Are you in the habit, Mr.. Cum
mings," asked Evans, of seeking testi-
mony in this case outside the commit
tee room"
Mr.. Cummings said he was not.
L. w. Wilson told of the WINS ar-
ris conversation in McCune's headQuar-
tiers Monday night, and said that WINS
had said that MIR. Harris had used the
words expense" and carriage" to-
gether when asking him to get the
Jackson vote.
Noble Warrum related a conversation
at The Herald Office Monday night in
which f. G Wins had characterized the
allegation that Harris had used him to
bride Jackson as "a damned lie" A
n: Mckay and A. c. Reese corroborated
this testimony.
Fisher Harris told of the appoint
ment made with c. M. Jackson, which
the latter failed 10 keep.

DUNBAR ADDED LIGHT.
D. c. Dunbar described the state of
feeling in the McCune headquarters on
Saturday morning, and told of report
brought in by Soren y. Christensen
that Lester Taylor intended to vote for
McCune-
Il told him." said Dunbar, "to tell
Mr.. Taylor not to vote for McCune on
the rollcall, as we mad enough Demo-
cratic votes to elect
Mr.. Evans objected just here TO what
Dunbar had said to Taylor, and the
objection was sustained. He then re-
lated the substance OF FIR. WINS state
ment at McCune's headquarters last
Monday evening, saying that WINS ad-
mitted that Harris had used the word
carriage" in connection with The word
expense" when telling him to go and
get Jackson's vote.
Were you at headquarters when Mr..
McCune returned from mis- little talk
with Law" asked Representative
Stewart.
No: 1 was at Henry Peery's room.
but l was there when McCune learned
of the Law charges, and he said it was
a id lie; that Law had offered to vote
for him for $4,000, and ne had refused
the Offer
"A short time before that had asked
him the outcome of his conversation
with Law and he had replied: He's a
dirty, low-lived fellow, but I'll tell you
about that later"
In this connection Mr.. Dunbar let
drop a statement that may prove inter
esting as bearing on one Robert Fryer,

Hi.Life Saver.

A commercial traveller who is putting
up at one of the hotels exhibited q
curious contrivance to some friends
last evening. 1t consisted Of metal
reel almost eight inches long bolted Sc
curely to one Of the inside corners OF
his trunk. On the reel was wound
about 100 feet Of steel wire, terminal
ing in q sort of stirrup. The entire de-
vice occupied considerably less than a
square foot Of room, and the drummer
explained that it was fire escape OF
his own invention. Cali have to do"
he said, 'is to put my foot in the
stirrup and let myself out Of the
window. The trunk acts as an anchor
at this end and q ratchet at the side
of the reel prevents the wire from pay
ing out too rapidly"
'Did you ever have occasion to put
it to use?" asked one Of the spectators.
"Only once" replied the drummer.
"I was in 4 hotel that caught fire at
night about eight months ago, and the
first thing l did when l jumped out
Of bed was to rush for my trunk. 1t
was locked and in my excitement |
couldn't find the key. I hunted high
and low and was still hunting when
the porter rushed in and led me down

A Chapter on Pens.

It was not until 178O that Birming-
ham manufacturer named Harrison In
troduced the metallic pen to England.
Even then, 25 years later, when O.
barrel Of them was on sale IN London,
we read that they were by fnr too cx-
pcnsive for general use. We do not
know the price then asked, but at the
time Of the battle Of Waterloo we read
that Sheldon Of Sedgley was selling
them at 1S shillings the dozen. In the
II years following that date the price
fell to two-thirds this sum.
Today, on the average, $50 pens can
be bought for the price which our
grandfathcrs paid for one GO years
ago. Yet there is Il good deal Of work
to be done on the successor Of Byroc's s

One English writer on this subject
says: Should we, in place Of rolling out
the steel into strips the thickness Of
pens, pull it out into one square bar
having the width and height Of Its

inch, then we should get n bar 411

ancient Pianos.

There is very interesting collection
Of old pianos in the Roman museum
at Hildesheim, Germany. Dating all
the way from the end Of the seven
teenth century, the collection exhibits
In q very instructive way the primi-
tive origin Of piano manufacture, and
gives one an idea Of the simple instru-
ments used by our greatest music COM
posers.
The Oldest instrument on exhibition
is small clavichord Of the seven
teenth century, possessing 81 tones
with oS two choral bound strings. An
other of equal antiquarian value has
four full octavcs-a one chord Italian
spinet, built at an angle and possess
ing a rich and beautiful tone for sing
ing accompaniment. The strings are
rifted with pointed crow Quills. Both
instruments date from the time Of
Handel, Bach and Gluck.
One instrument was made In the
first half Of the eighteenth century
and is bound clavichord Of AZ oc-
taves, 5S tones and 40 strings. There
Is also an instrument from the second
half Of the last century which pos
sesses 5A octaves. The last two are
supplied with strings tipped with
brass, and their Immediate followers
were the hammer pianos Of 1760, used
