NJLTIPLEI TELEGRAPHY.

FIVE MESSAGES SENT AND PRINTED AT ONCE
From The Cologne Gazette.
The Baudot multipleX typepTintng telegraph
"a French invention) operates so eXcellently
that the results the Berlin and Paris line
have surpassed all expectations
Since the main office has educated a sufficient
number of operators for the BaudOt apparatus
the system is regularly in use during the
greater part Of the day.
1t has been demonstrated that the whole tele
graph business between Berlin and Paris. which
heretofore required five telegraph lines, now
be easily done over one by means of the Baudot
system.
The operation is perfect and uninfiuenced by
minor Interruptions of the CONDUIT. The work
for the operators is not more arduous than with
the Hughes apparatus.
1t is to be regretted, says the article, that the
system is not suitable for long cables, 9th
erWise the German-English cable would profit
The new success is quick, and multipleX telcg
raphy Will create a peculiar situation for the
administration of the teegraphc service. If
the Baudot system be introduced all over Ger
many. and in addition, if the quick telegraph of
Pollak and Virag be utilized for newspaper tele-
grams and if Professor Slaby succeeds in ap-
plying his discoveries concerning multpleN
spark telcgraphy to ordinary wires. then ii Will
be only a question of a short time when the
existing telegraph business Will hardly keep all

POLISHING GLASS WITH ACID.

Lord RayIegh discouIsed before a brilliant
scientific audience last night at the Royal In
stitution on 'Polish"-Of the physical not the

especially in glass used for optical purposes, "a
smooth surface, nearly perfect possible,
is often Of high importance. Lord Kayleigh
illustrated experimentally two stages of the
process of polishing. In the first emery powder
is employed. with friction between comparative
~ hard surfaces; and, secondly, finer powder of
the same kind. applied by a soft rubber. The
one operation produces hills and hollows in the
face of the glass. the other removes the ridges
and so approXnates Ia real eyenncss. All polish
is relative: perfect SmOothnesS is never attained
As is well known. .hydrOnuric acid eats into
glass causing microscopic holloWs and ridges.
This agent. his lordship showed, may be en-

such a degree Of smoothnesS as is rarely

practical workers. Not the least striking part of

by the Department of Agriculture, and
the representatives and senators of the
American congress, is again exploiting
itself before the public. The Chicago
Inter Ocean, is, among the reputable
daily papers of the country, the only
jealous advocate of this dilapidated,
expensive, and inexcusable fraud. Its
issue of April 18th, 1901, contains expand
ed headlines and glaring sub b-headlines
calling attention to the fact that the
government will, this year, send out
donations of seeds to helpless citizens
presumably the farmers-amounting to
five hundred and sixty tons in weight
And it rejoices in the fact that next year
our beloved paternal government will
give away one thousand tons of seed.
The farmers aggregate several millions
of people. They are all indirectly taxed
to maintain this government. A few of
them. small per cent Of the millions
may receive each a package of seeds
valued, at the highest, at ten cents and
valued, at the lowest, worth nothing at
all. They cost the government, for
their purchase and putting up, and their
distribution through the mails, more
than they can be bought for of reputable
dealers who sell seeds always germina-
tive and always true to name. To tax
all of the people to raise money with
which to buy poor seed to give few of
the people is not the business of an
honest and just government.
The Inter Ocean Washington CORES
pondent remarks:
"In former years the contract was let
to seedsmen without regard to the char
acter or quality, and they put up, in a
haphazard way, packages containing any
kind of seeds without regard to whether
they were adapted to the subtropical
climate of the South or the granite hills
of New England The appropriation
made by congress was spent without any
practical benefit, except to the contrac-
tor, and made the government seed dis
tribution anything but popular"

istration, the contracts were let under
the direction and supervision Of the
Secretary of Agriculture and Senator
Proctor, chairman of the agricultural
committee in the United States senate,
and James w. Wadsworth, chairman of
the agricultural committee of the house
of representatives.
The first contract thus let went to the
reputable and well-established house of
Landreth & Sons, in Philadelphia,
where, for more than a hundred years,
that name among seedsmen and citizens
generally has been the synonym for fair
and honest dealing. The political char
acter of the house and the military char
acter of one of it's leading members
should silence slander in the mouths of
republicans. The seeds were marked
from "Landreth & Sons for distribution
by the United States Department of
Agriculture" and not one complaint, as
to quality or misnomer, was ever made
by the donees who got those seeds.
The second contract-let in the same
way-under the immediate supervision
of the two republican chairmen named
above-went to the famous firm of w.
Atlee Burpee & Company, another re-
publican house noted for it's honesty and
fair dealing, but no complaint was ever
heard of those seeds, all packets of
which bore the name of the contractor
who could not, any more than Landreth
& Sons, afford to disseminate unger-
minative or mis-named seed.
And now, saith the Inter Ocean,
"Secretary Wilson has changed the
plan and made it practical. He has
gained the confidence of the farmers.
They all clamor for garden seeds, and
this spring the Agricultural department
is distributing $50 tons Of garden seeds,
in small packages, which are sent
through the mails. Next year he will
double the quantity, if congress gives
him the appropriation, and send out
more than one thousand tons. The first
care of the farmer secretary is to see
that the seeds will grow. He compels
the bidders for the contract to submit
samples of the seeds to be tested in the
department, and then he binds them by
contract to guarantee the seeds they de-
liver.
His second care is to go over the list
and select seeds that will supply the
garden with the best of vegetables, use
full varieties as well as popular, and
divide them into groups for different
sections of the country, so that the
South will receive such seeds as are
adapted for the soil and climate, and, at
the proper planting time, each section of
the country has it's proper class of garden
Seeds"
The plan has been changed. The
principle of paternalism and wasteful-
ness has not been changed. There is
no more reason for sending seeds gratu-
itously, to few citizens at the expense
of all citizens than there is for sending
boars, bulls and stations. 1t is not the
business of government to do for the
people, but merely to protect the people

NOT LOGICAL.


cent review of a CONSERVATIVE editorial
Col. Bowlby refers, in lachrymose Ian
guage, to an episode in the last cam
paign wherein "the peerless" Attorney
General Oldsmith, J. Ham Lewis, and
one or two other spellbinders, let loose a
flood of oratory at Nebraska City for
the purpose of drowning out the gold
bugs, submerging the starch factory and
exterminating other plutocratic plants
Col. Bowlby says:
"Morton is an enigma in politics, with
many republican symptoms, and an in
ordinate desire to aid those who have
grown rich, by and through robber tariff
laws, which he has always fought, to
form combinations that will make 1t
next to impossible for them to lose their
loot in business and thus make it per-
manent in the hands of those who have
taken from the many, more than
reasonable profit"
The unreasoning Of the colonel is
certainly unique. He does not define
republican symptoms nor specify any
that are visible. Nor does he tell why
"those who have grown rich by robber
tariff laws need "aid' from anybody.
Nor does he tell how to "make it next
to impossible" to lose money in ''com-
binations."
1t is absolutely true that Morton has
always fought protective tariffs. He
never sanctioned or supinely submitted
to the doctrine of legislated, or statute
established prices. He vigorously an
tagonized protective tariff because, by
law, it placed an artificial price upon
certain commodities, and he, therefore,
unlike Colonel Bowlby, antagonized the
free coinage of silver-worth sixty seven
cents an ounce in bullion-into 4121a
grain dollars at $1.29 an ounce as coin.
The artificial price proposed for silver,
to be put there by law, was as obnoxious
as the artificial price of iron, sugar, or
salt put there by protective tariff law.
COL Bowlby further declares:
Morton knows, and so does every
other intelligent man, that neither of
the senators selected at Lincoln would
have been thought of, but for the money
and corporation influence they repre-
sent. The republican party has many
men, brainy, able, and anxious to repre-
sent the party in the senate, yet they
must not be thought Of. Two men are
chosen, whose only ability lies in the
line of acquisitiveness and whose only
backing was some rich corporations.
THE CONSERVATIVE has not the knowl-
edge attibuted to it as to corporation
power in the last legislature. On the
contrary, The CONSERVATIVE had been
led to believe that Thompson and Rose
water were the men whom corporate
interests yearned to elect United States
senators. The Crete Democrat, and
every other populist paper in the state,
taught that belief and prayed and pre-
dicted and hoped for it's verifcation by
votes in the legislature.
