HOW MONEY is MADE.

Mr.. Maurice, in passing through the
rooms devoted to melting, rolling, cutting
milling and stamping the precious metals,
explained how the different kinds of work
was done. A machine was put in motion
and the work of cutting explained in a
practical manner A machine was in
operation stamping silver half dollars.
and the work was done rapidly and with
precision. 1t requires pressure of forty
tons to stamp single half dollar. no.
ticed that the stamping was done princi-
pally by women. There are ten of the
stamping presses, each capable of making
from seventy to one hundred and twenty
coins per minute, but they are seldom run
at a greater speed than eighty per minute.
The impressions on both sides of the coin
are made, with one motion of the press.

THE KNOXVILLE AND KENTUCKY ROAD.

BY reference to dispatch from Hon. c.
III. McGhee it will be seen that the Knox
vile and Kentucky railroad has been sold
for the sum OF S350,00O. We understand
that the sale has been made to the same
parties who bid for II several days ago, and
that the contract is now closed beyond a
doubt. This insures a change of grade
from Clinton, and an early completion of
the road to Cincinnati. This is good news
for Knoxville and East Tennessee. Those
who have been instrumental in bringing
it about are entitled to the gratitude of
East Tennesseeans. Hon. G. NJ. McGhee,
the President of the road, deserves much
credit for this step.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

Most of our readers have been so deeply
absorbed in the tidings of the fearful ca
lamity that has befallen the great city of
the North West, that they have taken but
little interest in the very important cleo
tons of last Tuesday in PENNSYLVANIA.
Ohio and Iowa. The election was mainly
important because it was generally recog-
nized that they would have a decisive bear
ing upon the great contest ofneXt year. In
each of the three States the Republicans
have won a decided victory carrying
them by increased majorities. In
the election for Governor two years
ago the Republicans carried Ohio by
1901 majority. The returns thus far re-
ceived indicate majority of over 90, 600, a
decided gain. The Legislature is Repub-
lican on joint ballot, giving us the election
of U. s. Sena,or and the redistricting of
the State under the new apportionment
Pennsylvania gave Republican major
ity of $4,000 on light vote; also elected
Republican Legislature.
Iowa rolled up Is, 900 Majority just what
might be expected of a State without a
debt with splendid free schools in every
civil district, with churches and benevO-
lent associations of every kind with rail-
roads and good highways, all the result of
unbroken Republican rule. These cleo
tons, we say, foreshadow great Republi-
can triumph in 1872, and so the country
accepts them We know that the terrible
excitement that prevailed in every town
and hamlet in the North over the dreadful
news from Chicago lessened very material
ly the Republican vote and the magnitude

The success of the troops of the Theirs
government over the insurgents indicates
the ultimate triumph of the regular author
tiles. With the establishment of the govern
ment will come the arduous labor of fully
restoring peace, providing for the claims of
Germany, reorganization of industry, and
reconstruction of the country in accord
ance with the changes that have taken
place by the war. In his inaugural Presi-
dent Theirs entorces the idea of the ne
cessity of making peace as promptly as
possible, and providing before anything
else for the immediate return of the peo-
pie to their fields ane workshops and the
renewal of employment. This he said
should be first, while the question of the
permanent form of government to be as
sumed should be left for discussion and
settlement afterwards. The tranquilizine
of the people and recognizing of indus
try will then be the labor to which the new
government will apply itself After that
will be settled the question of republic
or monarchy. That this shall be fairl,
decided by the popular will the Presiden
has pledged himself, and we are not with
out hope that the decision will be in favor o
republic. The moderation and success
of Theirs in subduing the insurgent
speaks well for the wisdom and strength
of the new government, which it appears
tosus can see no course so safe to stee
among the various factions ard aspirant
for kingly honors us to eschew them al
and place the government squarely in TIN
hands of the people, to be by them ad
ministered as we administer ours.
