Our Stcnographers.

II there anything the matter with the
shorthand writers in this country? A
despatch from Washington states that
the PostmasterGeneral has offered
places in his Department to two stem
ographers native of Porto Rico.
II is scarcely credible that good office
stenographers are so few in the United
States as to make it necessary 10 get
foreigners to fill Government places
and there may be some other explana-
ton than this of the action of the Post
master-General. Possibly there is n
stronger demand now than formerly in
the Department for amanuenses who are
familiar with the Spanish language
II Is interesting to note, incidentally
that some very conspicuous figures in
this Country's recent history began
their careers as stenographers en-
ployed, directly or indirectly. by the
Government. The Hon. W. F. CHAND-
LER, who retired from the Senate in 1901
could write and read shorthand rapidly
and, when Senator, often took notes Of
debates in pot hooks. When a Young
man he acted as secretary to Gen. BUT
LER. Senator Mason of Illinois is a
veteran member of the rapid writing
fraternity, and so, also. is Representa-
tive HIT of that State. Mr.. HIT has
the distinction of having reported YER
batim the memorable debate between
LINCOLN and DOUGLAS. And there are
several others who belong in the same
list Of lights as do the gentlemen named
Eliminating the chance of promotion,
direct or indirect in Government Offices.
there are, undoubtedly. more desirable
places for stenographers than those
offered by the Departments at Wash
ington. notwithstanding the fact that
Uncle SAM bears the reputation Of pay
ing his assistants well. considering their
hours of labor and the amount of work
done, individually.
We should be very sorry TO know that
American stenographers Of the present
day are lacking either in skill or am
btion and We don't believe that such is
the case. All the same, in the choice Of
the Porto RiCans referred to there seems
to he a suggestion that the young men in
the United States who live on hooks and
curves should wake up. OF course. this
cannot apply with equal force TO the
young women stenoCraphers, inasmuch
as it is pretty well understood that a
demand for women clerks in the Depart
ments no longer exists. or, at least, is
rapidly decreasing.

he loses his farm, the fruit of years OF
labor and of patient thrift being thus
swept away in a single season. The
result is that the small farmer, working
for himself and putting by little money
yearly, has almost ceased to exist in
New South Wales: no small farmer can
hope to make sheep-growing pay in the
dry districts, while in the well-watered
districts the price of land is almost pro-
hibitive. Hence ii happens that New
South Wales has nearly half her popli-
lation in the city of Sydney, and that
instead of there being openings for
young men on the land. there is an ex-
cess of supply over demand in non.agri-
cultural industries. II is this state of
things which explains the drift toward
State socialism and the disposition to
rely on Government interposition instead
Of self-help, which is becoming charac-
teristic of the Australian proletariat.
According to the correspondent of the
Times, the pastoral industry of Austria
liza will eventually have to be prosecuted
under materially changed conditions.
The old method of rearing stock on the
natural grass will have to give way to
system of farming in which water will
be conserved and crops irrigated. In
all districts where crops can be raised
with any certainty, it is already Gus
tomary to grow lucerne and hay for the
sheep, but, Of course, the price of wool
determines the extent to which money
can be laid out for this purpose
