Newspaper stereotyping was first
made successful about ten years ago.
It must not be supposed that this
was the first successful storeotyping
for any kind of printing, for printing
has been done from plates almost as
long as types have beon used but
by the ordinary method of making
stereotype plates from plaster of
Paris moulds, the time consumed
was so great as to render this meth

work. After many experiments, how.

PAPER PROCESS.


OF making the stereotype n ould was
successfully introduced. This con-
sists in beating into the face Of the
type with heavy brush, prepared
sheet, with body almost like paper
pulp, and somewhat thicker than
heavy railroad card. The type form
with this wet blanket kind of mould
beaten into it, IS then placed on
steam bed to drive out the moisture
and harden the mould, which, In a
few minutes can be taken off almost
as hard as sheet OF card board, but
holding perfect impression of the
type. To make and trim q plate
with type metal is now very simple,
and the same mould can be used for
as many plates as desired. The short.
est time occupied in getting plate
ready from the time in which the
form is ready for the stereotypers, is
about twenty minutes, the greater
portion Of this being taken up in
drying and baking the moulds, and
the difficulty in dong it more rapid.
y hes In llie fao. that the type form
when ready for the stereotypers, is
very wet, and all must, of course, be
made perfectly dry. These sterco-
type plates are made Of type metal,
which consists Of lead, zinc and anti.
mony, and they may be used to print
any number of copies required Tho
cost of making these plates connot
be said to add anything to the ex.
penses of large newspaper, as full
enough is saved in the wear and tare

One of the saddest among the many
distressing cases reported is that of q
sleighing party of six young couples,
with their driver, who were all found
frozen to death, buried almost out OF
sight i'm the snow. AS near as we can
learn, this occurred out near some lake
in the western part OF the State. The
first discovery of the party was made
by little girl, who called her moth
er's attention to a shawl lying on the
snow. This led to investigation, when
the entire party of thirteen were re-
moved from their snowy tomb.


A woman was found dead on Fri
day, near Madelia, in her house.


The body of man frozen to death
was picked up in a garden on the
south side of the river, at Madelia, on
Thursday. He evidently had lost
himself, and, overcome by exhaustion
and cold, laid down and died.


Special dispatches to the Minneapo-
lis Tribune stale that at Fergus Falls,
eight persons are known to be frozen ;
at Morris, four. and scattered through
the intermediate country seven or
eight others. At WOTthiugtOn two
teamsters have been found dead. Near
Sioux City three others shared the
same fate.


In addition to these cases we are in
receipt of still further news; but time
and space compel us to close the sad

The following article is just as appli-
cable to Wisconsin as to Illinois and
worthy of highest consideration


s'No doubt the farmers do suffer very
serious losses through the cost of get
ting to market. It is a result insepara-
BILE from the greater fact of having their
market at distance and it is a law of
all markets, that those who have crude
products to sell must pay the cost of ex-
changeing them for money and goods
wherever the money and goods ere found.
When the market is in England, and not
nearer, the Illinois farmer must bear the
cost of sending to England, say tour
thousand miles at least. When the mar
ket is at New York, he has three thou
sand miles less of transportation to pay
for, and some chance to get paying prices.
Now, why cannot little reason be ap-
piled to the case, and better result
limited at of creating consuming market
in the cities of Illinois This is so OBJ
yious truth, and so clear as mode of
relief, that it seems incredible that the
farmers fail to see it.


All through the west the demand for
manufactured goods is enormous, and so





duction could scarcely go amiss in sup
plying it. Every form of textile fabrics,
every form of manufactured metals, plain
goods and fancy goods, necessaries and
luxuries alike, are eagerly sought, and
almost recklessly bought and consumed
by all classes in the west. Now is the

every policy it seizes upon carries it low

If It's policy is TO be the policy so long

seeking the defeat of the grand old party

out old abuses, elevatiug the national

moral and material interest as the Re-
publican party has done for the United

party having "outlived its usefulness. -

Men who have fatted on the favors of
the party, and grown poor again in ask
ing for more, think that the Republican
organization has outlived its usefulness.
Young Walworth evidently thought his
father had outlived his usefulness. Men
with fancied grievances, or peculiar no.
tlons, or towering ambition and small
merit, who have been disappointed, think
that their party Democratic or Repub-
hcan) has outIived it's usefulness. The
fact is, so far as these preying parasites
are concerned, their party has outlived
its usefulness when it refuses to bolster
them up, OF grind their dull axes.


The protest of these disappointed sore
heads is the best evidence that the Re-
publican party is healthy, and has the
vigor to slough off its excrescences and
discard its effete matter. The body and
limbs are sound and thrifty. It is ne
cessary, occasionally, to cut back and
head IN vines and trees to lop off re-
dundant rampant branches that take too
much from the others. And right here
the policy of the Republican party has
differed from that of the Democratic
party. The latter did not dare to prllne
for fear the parent trunk would bleed to
death. This is the reason it sustained
the Southern policy so long, after the
best men in the party at the North felt
that it would prove fatal. But the Re
publicen party has freely used the knife
when necessary, and by its use has kept
the tree vigorous. This is the true way
to preserve health, instead of extdrpating
the root and setting out new plant.


The Republican party is yet young, it
is emphatically the party of the law abid-
ing, the progressive, the emancipated,
the youthful and patriotic, of the land,
and it is constantly reinforced by young
blood. 1t has brighter, better history
than any other party ever had it has a
glorious future and we predict that
when the representatives, fresh from the
people, meet in State council here, the
party will display its pristine vigor in the
emphatic enunciation of sound principles.
1t will place its standard in strong and
tried hands and secure triumphant sue
cess by deserving it.-,State Journal,
