THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
The Etato Frintcr's Tuililing.
No more glaring and barefaced rob
bery of the S'.atc lunils exists tnan the
State printei'i charges' for the priming
of the Legislative Jleenrd. We do
not refer to the basis of the charge,
but the system on which the mechani
cal work is done. No publisher of a
book, a magazine or a newspaper would
dare resort to such extravagance in the
matter of unnecessary and wasteful type- j
setting. I he State printer s one idea
is to stretch out the copy and make it
fill just as many columns as possible at
so much a column. This method is
not onlv wasteful of the public funds,
but it decreases from the value of the
Jiecord as a work of reference by spin
ning out in tiresome paragraphs pages
of matter which ought to be tabulated.
Look for example at the last batch
of badly folded Records that have
come to hand, two weeks behind the
proceedings, on page 66.
There are nearly two pages of com
mittees, which are set in single col
urns. Had they been set in double
columns they would have occupied
just half the space. Of course double
column composition costs rather more
than single, but it would be money in
the State treasury to set them double
column. There is no need of setting
them in columns anyhow. Paragraphs
are plain enough.
Page 68.' Here are over ten pages
of notaries public. Of this space fully
one third is taken up with spelling out
1894, so as to make it occupy a whole
line and more, as follows :
One thousand, eight hundred and
ninety four.
Let it be remembered that in the
Legislative Jiecord all dates are thus
drawn out and the State treasury rob
bed accordingly. Had this list of no
taries gone into a newspaper, complete
in every detail, it would not have re
quired more than two thirds the type
setting. liut the grand robbery of all is the
publishing of the last election returns.
No less than seventeen pages were de
voted to the election for State officers,
which is thirty four times the space
occupied by the same in any one of
the valuable almanacs issued by some
of the Pennsylvania newspapers. Not
only does it occupy thirty four times
too much space, but its long drawn
out paragraphs make it most incon
venient for reference. Just imagine
the folly of giving the detailed return
from every one of the sixty seven coun
ties in paragraphs, and making them
even more obscure by spelling out
every figure so as to occupy from six
to ten times the space that the much
plainer figures themselves would oc
cupy. As if this were not enough to out
rage all the economies, the very same
17 pages, which in the first place ap
pear in connection with the joint ses
sion of Senate and House is given
again, beginning on page 100 in con
nection with another joint session to
open, count and publish. There is no
necessity for subjecting the State to
this expense for type-setting again
since the returns are precisely the
same as those previously published by
by the State printer, beginning on
page 79.
There is no reason why the business
of the State should not be done on
ordinary business principles. The fact
that the public treasury is by a great
many well meaning, and in other re
spects honest citizens, considered a
legitimate object for private plunder is
deplorable to the last degree. And
our law makers ought to enforce hon
esty whenever they can possibly do so.
A far as the Legislative Jiecord is
concerned, its printing ought to be
done after such rules as could be
agreed upon by a commute of honest,
intelligent practical printers. Such as
could be found among our law makers
themselves. It is time the reform
were inaugurated.
The criticism in this article has no
personal reference to the present State
printer, (who happens to be a Demo
crat,) for he is only following the ex
ample of his predecessors of all par
ties. When it comes to plundering the
public funds both pirties are equally
proficient. The Legislative Jiecord
could be printed so as to save the State
a good deal of money, so as to appear
within reasonable time, and so as to
make it a compact and valuable work
of reference, instead of as now, an ex
travagant,' tardy cumbersome and in
convenient publication, almost worth
less to everybody except as a source of
party plunder for whoever happens to
get that soti snap,
ship. Ex.

An Elbe Survivor at Home
County Commissioner John Vevera. of Clove
land, Creotod by His Family.
Cleveland, February 11. County
Commissioner lohn Vevera. one of
the few survivors of the Elbe disaster,
arrived home to-day. He was met at
the railway station by an immense
crowd of friends. Mr. Vevera brought
tidings of the drowning of F. W.
Holechek, of this city, who was also
passenger on the Elbe. This makes
seven Cleveland people who lost their
lives in the' disaster. The meeting be

The President at last appears to
have exacted from the bond buyers
the condition that the gold fur the
payment of the bonds shall not come
from the Treasury, either directly or
indirectly, through any subterfuge.
This assures us that he has his eyes
opened to the trick performed on the
government by the New York buyers
of the November loan. That was 4
mean a piece of business as could
have been invented, and the President
probably felt justified in calling in the
foreign banltcrs and leaving out the

The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The complete novel in the March
issue of JAppincott's is " A Tame
Surrender," by Captain Charles King.
Departing from this author's usual
field, the purely military, it deals with
the Chicago strike, the riots and their
suppression, and the loves of a United
States lieutenant and a high-minded
young lady who works a typewriter.
It is her " tame surrender," after
long resistance, which gives the tule
its title.

METHODS OF PKIMAKY BEADING.
X.
Tho Peabody Method.
LY WILt.tAM NOKTL1NO.
This, method published in 1878 by
Elizabeth Peabody and her sister, Mrs.
Horace Mann, begins with the so
called long vowel sounds.
As her reason for beginning with
the lonjr, or Roman vowel sounds,
Miss Peabody gives the following : "If
we pronounce the' vowel characters as
their Latin inventors did, and the Con
tinental nations now generally do
namely: a, as in art, whe'her short or
long ; e, as in ebb, when short, and
when long, as in fete ; i, as in ink,
when short, and when long, as in
marine ; o, as in no ; and u, as in
the final of J'eru (no yu); also the
letters c and g, hard it will be found
a fact, that the largest number of the
syllables heard in English are phono
graphic, and a very large number of
whole words besides.
"It was suggested to me by Dr.
Kraitsir, that 1 should take a volume
of any book, and count the times that
each of the vowels, and c and g, were
sounded as the Romans sounded them,
and how many times they were sound
ed otherwise, and thus see whether it
was (as he said) that these Roman
sounds were the most frequent, even
in the English language. I did so on
the third chapter of VVaverly, from the
beginning to the words, primary ob
jects of study' and counted' the num
ber of tinvjs that the ambiguous let
ters occur, and found that the letter a
occurs 244 times, and has the Italian
sound in every instance but 38 times ;
e occuirs 340 times, and . has the
Italian sound in every instance but 1 8;
m occurs 58 times, and only 20 limes
as in tne kntrlish alphabet, lliec
occurs 81 times, and has the hard
sound except in 27 instances. The g
occurs si times, and has the hard
sound in every instance but 12. The
y occurs 35 times, and has the Italian
sound in every instance but a. Indeed
I found g was hard, even before e and
, in the case of every Saxon word ;
and that all the soft g's, which aie
not many, were derived from the Norman-French.
In further explanation, Miss Pea
body says : "I then set myself to find
what words in Lnglish there were,
written entirely with the Roman
sounding letters'; and to my surprise,
found enough to fill a primary spell
ing-book, while most of the syllables
of the rest of the words in the language
yielded, on analysis, the same sounds.
It immediately occurred to me to be
gin to teach children to read by these
words, whose analysis would always
yield them the Roman sounds ; and
reserve, till afterwards, the other words
(which are exceptions to be learned by
rote, as now all words are).
" In order to fix the phonographic
law perfectly, we first give some ele
mental syllables of two and three let
ters, which the children can probably
read off at sight, not spelling them ;
and afterwards, some columns of
words, which can doubtless be read at
sight very soon. But, as it is bad to
read words without, at the same time,
recognizing their meaning, it is better
to make object lessons of each word,
thus : Pronounce the word, and then
ask the children to make some sen
tences with the word in it (which is
altogether the best way of teaching
the definitions of words).
: The following are some of the ele
mental syllables given the chi dren
after they have learned the sounds of
all the letters Roman sounds,
mi, me, ma, mo, mu, my.

Next came words of one syllable,
the terminal sound being the same in
all of those grouped together. Ex
amples : it, bit, fit, hit, kit, lit, nit,
mit ; dip, lip, nip, pip, rip ; ill, bill,
fill, hill, kill, mill ; din, fin, pin, tin,
win ; twig, swig, trig t hiss, kiss, miss ;
tick, wick, stick: list, mist, wist :
kink. link, mink ; &c Then follow
words that end in ing, imp, ell, et, ed,
en, ar, art, ark, aft, ant, est, ass, ast,
owe, old, ness, less, ect, ug, ut, nug,
ump, un, uck, ull, out, ound, eat, ame,
age, ief, ield, ace, ale, aid, ail, ain,
ood, ock, ool, 00m, oon i &c.
By examining the foregoing words
and syllables', it will readily be observ
ed that children who . have learned
the Roman vowel sounds and the
hard sounds of 0 and g, can almost
without help pronounce any of them
and, consequently, words in which
they occur.
In speaking of the advantages of
their mode of classifying words and
syllables, the authors say, that more
than one thousand English words end
in al ; more than two hundred each
in el, en, ant ; nearly four hundred
each in ent, ly; more than thirteen
hundred in ness; more than two hun
dred add less; and numerous words
end in ing.
The authors claim for their method
that it teaches children to read Eng
lish, according to the phonographic
classification of words, and is the
best for their minds ; because it gives
scientific method and appreciation of
law as their practical experience."
In favor of this method it can safe
ly be said that it does not blunt the
