It should consult him oftener for he is au honest and soualble man, an earnest Dem icrat and a patriotic citizen. But we are afra'd that the sheriff's printing organ is not so much influenced by Sena tor Williams as by the change of editorial writers. The paper seems to flop as the various editors change their positions It cannot be urged that Bates & Har rington are not intelligent men; that they are not lawyers; that they were not conscious that an accounting in the Sharp estate was due In loss than three years; that Mosley's financial transaction was not complete; that they were not aware that Mealey's money, borrowed from the Security Trust and Safe Deposit Company for a special purpose, should not be need for tbelr private expenses. Considering these facts there is a great deal of expla nation due from them to pat themselves proper standing as lawyers and as intelli gent, hotest men in this community. It due to them to do this fully and candidly. Concealments, suppressions and a silly effort to blame the newspapers for pub lishing the truth will not accomplish that. If there were nothing wrong, then the newspapers would have had nothing to publish. The newspapers are generally very convenient when a man has done something of which ho is proud and which he is anxious that thefpubl'c should know. Messrs. Bates & Barrington should be anxious to explain if they have done no wrong; If they bave doue wrong they should be anxious to set themselves right. The newspapers are the readiest means for reaching the minds aud hearts of the people in either case. DIFFERENCES IN TASTES. The publication of the facta revealed by the dissolntlon of the law firm of Bates & Harrington, the employment of Attorney Levi C Bird to attend tothe af fair* of John Meaiey.and the retaining of Attorney E. August Miller of Philadel phia to adjust tbe affairs of the Sharp estate both of which cases had beeu ne glected, to say the least, by the firm of Bates & Harrington, caused a great deal of comment. The Evening Journal simply told the story of some unusual and remarkable proceedings. If they happen to be un complimentary to the parties concerned that Is not our business; we simply told some queer stories of two lawyers and several financiers being employed to adjust financial aud fiduciary affairs that should have hern adjusted by Batss fi Harrington. If there Is nothing unusual, nothing unprofessional, nothing whatever dis paraging to the reputation of the firm of Bates & Harrington, Inasmuch as the matter has been one of quiet public com ■ ment for more than a week, everybody, even the parties particularly concerned, should thank us for affording them the opportunity of showing the innocence aud regularity of the transactions. People mav view these matters as their interests, their their desire to shield those who accept trusts and then betray them,may dictate, but the Evenu« Journal simply give# the news as it is squeezed from those who are reluctant in exposing frauds, hypocrites aud betrayers. The Evening Journal is not engaged iu suppressing the truth, either good or bad, concerning great men or little men, of one political party or another politic«! party, of rich or poor, high or low, or of making any distinctions whatever. W» leave those duties to our esteemed temporaries who have studied the art of truckling, but so far as we are concerned we tell the truth, aud shame hia satauic majesty without fear or favor, have no fear of the great ; no favors for the guilty. Our tastes do not ebb and flow with those tides foolishness, or con We WIT AND HUMOR Philosophers tell us that humor is the juxtaposition of two incongruous things or the contiguity of two incompatible ideas Laughter is the result of ths sensations provoked by the perception of these two things or the comprehension of these two ideas at the same time. If those definitions are correct what hysterics ot couveilsivo hilarity, irre pressible outbursts of boisterous fun should result from tho statement in the prospectus of ths American Protective Tariff League, an organization which has Edward H. Aarmidowu for president aud Census Porter for vice president, that: Under no circumstance will the league identify itself with any political party— its aim being to unite all parties in sup port of the policy which It advocates Surely that Is true humor according to th# definition, but what of the names of Washington Hastings and Frederick E. Bach, the local missionaries of this grand aud noble sebemo for the union of all parties under the broad and unpartisan banner which those two cherubic Inno cente flaunt over a misguided community. How beautiful a spectacle is the concep tion of Bach and Hastings spreading ths g ispel of unpartisan and beneficent lection for the culture aud Iigbtment of this The longer one's mind dwells ou th* thought the stronger becomes the of the lueious boauty of Mr. Bach's posi tion as a missionary of riches and emolu ments to the workingman with three salaries in his capacious pockets, a living example of the strength aud effective ness of protectionism, and the sweet bar mooy of Mr Hastings's work in drawing money from tbe people through the noble scheme of a protected iron industry and paying it all out In wages to the wealthy men who obtain SO per cent, higher wages than they could obtain an unprotected mill, see how poor Mr. Bastings continues to grow, and how magnificently tbe work ingmen in his shop roll along Delaware avenue in easy-springed carnages. It is said, indeed, that some of ths rich pro en commonwealth sense in Anybody can wags earners obtain as much as $5 and $7 per week aud work about 37 weeks during ths year. If it ia not a rich specimen of hnmor to think of Hastings and Bach as (in partiesn angels of the new gospel of making ths poor man richer without getting anything themselves, then the philosophers are all wrong in their d.fini -tons' NEWSPAPER OPINION. Th«» Meaning ot Free Coinage. Baltimore Sun. The National Stockman and Farmer having been asked to define "'free coin age of silver," wrote to the Treasury Department at Washington and got this definition from the director of the mint; "The term 'free and unlimited coinage silver' means Hie. conferring of the right upon individuale to take silver of any kind to the mints aud have every 87^ pure grains of it stamped free of charge, info a dollar, which dollar is a full legal tender for its face value in the payment of debts and obli gallonsof.al! kinds Id the United States In other words, an onnee of silver, (480 grains.) which can now bo bought In the open market for $ 08 is to pass under the kind of free coinage now proposed, for $1.29 cents. A speculator vi ho paid $98 for 100 ounces would get at the tress ury $129 iu national currenay, making $<U by the transaction. Or, to put differently, wii h the silver at 98 cents per ounce, he could get 100 silver dollars, or sliver certificates, for silver bullion cost, log him $75 79. The .average cost producing silver per ounce in the United States in 1886 was 51 1 cents per ounce. In Montana the average cost was 43.8 cents per ounce. The Granite Mountain mine in that state, according to the official statement of the Granite Moun tain Company to tue director of the mint In 1886, produced 3,987,754 ounces of silver at. a cort of 12} e.nta per ounce In Mexico the coat is 44g cents; iu South America. 34; cents, in Australia, at the Brukeu Hill mine, 16 cents. Very large quantities of silver are produced at these figures, I May be a Crank. Now York Sun. Read the three extraordinary confes sions made by Hon. Henry W.

The surprising discourtesy displayed in sending home the members of the Canadian Ministry who had come to Washington to talk over a measure of reciprocity, and who were told that they must wait until the President had re turned from his pleasure trip, is not likely to promote the kindliest feelings between the secretary of state ai d the President.

STORIES OF THE DAY. 11 "The Letter That She Hoped fer," Etc. "But words are things." So are let ters Oue ie.ter may not "cause thous ands, perhaps millions to think," but it certainly may cause a person to think perhaps a thousand things. This may be applied in more than on* way, since the non-receptiou of a letter quite us many thoughts on tbe sabjrct.

Then instead of his customary glowing effusion there came from the may cause m au young man a tebgram, stating tb„t he would writs iu a few days, and that he had been ill. In a day or so the telegram was fol lowed by a postal card, giving the same information.

PHOTO-TYPE MACHINE. Dr«p a Nickel In th^ e Photogi anti in T SIol aad Oat Tonr wo Minutes. The Public Ledger of Philadelphia gives the following description of the automatic photo type machine: The works of the machine resemble complication the movement of a clock, only they ar* far more complicated and Intricate. The tin-typer is boxed in case that suggests a plethoric ball clock, and it is filled with a bewi!d"riug mats of machinery, every piece of which has its part to play in turning out a portrait. An iron revolting chair, which is capable of being placed at a distance of eight or ten feet away from the box by a sliding rod, occupies a place in front of the lens At the right hand corner of the case is inlaid reflector with a plate glass over it Beneath it la the slot, above a knob and a crank The operation is very simple A nickel is dropped in the slot, the knob pressed in aud the crank turned.and the machine does the rest. A whirring sound is hoard, the shutter drops from before the lens, spirit lamp emerges from a trap inside of the reflector aud lights a cotton wick, which in turn ignites about two and half inches of magnesium ribbon, and in about ten or fifteen seconds the is complete. Oil exposare Just as the professional photographer of old rushed with his plate to the dark room to develop it, au ingenious contrivance by a sweep hurries the little tin type to a bath of developer. As the piate drops into the bath, sufficient developing fluid is automatioaliy poured into it, and for about half a minute the little dish Is rocked with a regulated motion to evenly distribute the fluid As this part of the work is nearing completion, a rod, on which is fixed arm with claws at its end, is drawn over and mechanically lifts up the developed plate, slides half way back again aud drops it into what is technically known as a fixing bath. There the image is made permanent on the tin, and another motion of the rod and claws carries it forward to another dish, where it is thoroughly wauhei, three streams of watsr playing on it for a short time. A traveling shelf, to which the finished plate has been passed, thrusts it forward to the exit, where it is dropped into a receptacle. It has been Just one and three quarter minutes since the nickel was dropped in the slot, aud the likeness is just, as good as one generally sees in a tin-type. From the beginning of the operation until the completed pictures band has touched the piate. There is an arrangement on the front of the case by which the time of the developing may be shortened or prolonged as a darkly or lightly printed picture is wanted. The picture, after being dropped out. is taken oy an attendant and dried aud fitted iu a neat brass case; for this latter service an additional nickel is charged. The machine 1s equipped with 400 small plates, known to the photo graphic trade as argentic dry plates, and sufficient chemicals for a day's run Haif-a-dczen are at present in operation iu New York, aud within a short time it is said they will be in nearly every hotel corridor aud railroad station iu this city. s an no Ih© Weather.
