No one will shed a tear for the retirement of this man who in all his brillianey of orstory and abili. ty never rose to the plane of true man hood and statesmanship--he was only a bitter unscrupulous partisan. and neves was in sympathy with any measure to better the condition of the constituend y he represented.

Sueh works are worth ten time as much as the useless compila tions sent out each year by the state and we would favor a bill that would go further. Let us haven volume on the “Bugs of Penn’a.,” another on “Rep. tiles and Fishes of Penn'a..” also" Wild Animals of Penn's.” Let the publica. tion of that old bloteh sheet, the * Legis. | lative Record,” be restricted and these | books of the natural history state be published instead, Eve would say, amen. times as | ; | employment to large We need practical econ- | mp A yimer LrRe | Lately they | ingly to the fact that the | Ever, gives an account { upon the matter were | KOwWing sccou rivi giving d tin plate manufactor started all over tl number pointi manufact of tin-plate has already been begun Chicago. have been ng in how industry face thune savs The Chicago Tribune of the which puts an entirely different The 1 “We do not see that there our mill.boss contemporaries to waste sympathy on Norton Bros. the tin can makers of Chicago.
