OF THE GREAT
MISSISSIPPI BRIDGE.

Those not familiar with bridge
work are unable to appreciate the
progress daily being made on the
great Illinois and St. Louis bridge,
which, before our public are hardly
aware of it, will span the mighty
Mlsslssippl,and not only connect two
great states, but gives an impetus to
the pursuits of commerce Of the ma
ton. Those passing any portion Of
the bridge work look with wondering
eyes at the labor already performed,
yet few Of them can comprehend the
magnitude Of the undertaking. When
completed, we shall not only have one
OF the finest bridges in the world.
From the west abutment, on the lev
ee, to Third Street, at the tunnel en-
trance, the superstucture is ready for
the track, and the upper roadway is
in course Of construction, the planks
for which are being sawed onthe spot
by q portable saw mill. The planks
are fitted together by bowels, an in
genious method having been devised
by Mr.. Katie for drilling the holes
and cutting the pins with the same
machinery which cuts the planks in
the saw-mill. The west pier is COM
pleted, and the workmen have all been
withdrawn from it, being transferred
to the east pier, upon which there are
now about hundred men employed.
The east pier will be up to its full
height in about three weeks. On the
Illinois side there are some four
hundred men employed on the bridge
work. The whole superstructure
will be finished in less than two
months. There have been delivered
in Pittsburg up to July 20, by the
Butcher Steel Company Of Philadel-
phia, 3,231,128 pounds Of cast steel,
which material the keystone Bridge
Company of that city works into its
various shapes, ready to be fitted and
put up. Besides this quantity of
steel, there have been MANUFACTURED
in Pittsburg, 1903, 139 pounds Of
wrought iron, mostly in bars and
round iron. In addition to this, As
ponderous skewbacks, each weighing
over three tons, have been forged in
solid mass and delivered in Pittsburg.
They were manufactured by estab-
lishments in New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, and Connecticut. Of cast iron,
over 100000 pounds are now in
the bridge works, all manufactured by
our home foundries. OF the 1000
tubes which comprise the arches, there
are 287 finished, over two-thirds OF
the material for the balance is on
hand in the Keystone Bridge Compa-
ny's works, which are employed day
and night turning them into shape.
The other material is corresponding
ly advanced. The first big szewback
with the tube properly attached, was
shipped on the Both from Pittsburg
for st. Louis, and it will be put in
position as soon as it arrrives-&,

Since July 1, the Suez Canal has
been charging tolls on the gross ton
mage of vessels passing through the
work. The result Of the first ten
days working of the new regulation
showed that on thirty-tour vessels
that had passed, the tolls amounted
to $114,90 while under the old
system the receipts would only have
been $76,978. The increase has
consequently been $37,926, or over
fifty per cent.

A FAMILY ACQUAINTANCE The
Paducah Nea0s tells this story, for
the truth of which it vouches ga
professional gentleman, well-known
in this city, had not seen his son for
a long period Of time, owing to the
fact that the latter retired to bed ere
the former returned home, and in the
morning the father always left before
the son got out Of bed. One morn
ing the lad Of the house managed
to get the father and son together at
the breakfast table, and by way Of a
joke remarked: "Son, let me intro

oiO and your Pu5Ac acts aud connection witt
public affairs, being all of your personality which
properly concern us, it is unlikely that we shall
frequently have to mention your name Do not
overestimate your own Importance.
Whenever you have been spoken of in these
columns, it was in such terms as your course
seemed TO us to deserve. Thus, in your speech
at the Greeley gathering, you grossly assailed
the President, to whose talent and courage, as a
soldier, the American people are largely indebt
cd, under God, for the preservation OF their
united country. You may not be conscious Of
the character Of your address. Besides the very
vulgar and altogether untrue illusions to
Senator Morton aud General Butler, which, with
extraordinary ideas of taste, you parade in your
communication, you used other and similar Ian
guage concerning President Grant. You called
him q coward; said he was drunk at Belmont.
absent from his command, and did not find it
for several days. you called him dog" wear
ing Washburnes collar on his neck and said
he paved his march to Richmond with human
skulls, sending to Washington, every day, for
$500 men ito start a new graveyard"
Perhaps you think these charges true. Per-
political address, and calculated both to convince
people Of Mr.. Greeleys fitness to be President.
and Of your important services In his behalf.
As to this, you are entitled to your own opinion,
and 80 are the Republican papers entitled to
theirs To us such language seems gross, yul-
gar, and disgraceful. 1t becomes our duty to
say 30. We do say 80.

We are now treating you with great forbearance
Strive to 30 shape your conduct as not to pro-
woke thorough examination Of your public
record 1t will be useless to expect to obtain
immunity from just criticism of your speeches,
by threats of " blows" made against the press,
II you choose to distinguish your public ad-
dresses by grossnessyou must expect to become
distinguished as their author, and this paper, if
no other, will see that the character you select is
the one by which the public shall know you. You
shall not strike at respected, eminent, and good
mon, without finding the stroke returned. The
President Of the United States is happily uncon-
scious, both of your existence and your assaults,
but his friends are not, and they will not see his
good name misused, even by yourself.
Take good advice, and study new speech for
this campaign. Let it contain argument instead
of abuse truth, instead of detraction and a
logical arrangement Of facts, rather than gross
stories, intended cause laughter from the vulgar
and unthinking. These may not draw forth that
tremendous and spontaneous cheering, which
you imagine was uttered in your own behalf, on

THE GREELEY FOLLOWING IN NEW YORK,
[From the N Y. Times.l
There is one fact which is well worth the
attention OF Democrats and Republicans alike /;
1t ID that even now, in the full flush OF his sue
cess at Baltimore. the Democratic candidate
cannot get dozen respectable men to appear
in public with him. Our correspondent "Justi-
tia, describes the miserable crowd which sur
rounded him during the serenade on Thursday
evening John Coehrane was the most prominent
inquire on that occasion. The very dregs Of
politicians" alone support Greeley. Where are
the respectable Democrats of this CITY? All
opposed to him. Ask them, and you will soon
ascertain how the fact stands. The repugnance
OF intellectual Democrats will grow stronger and
stronger every week Tweed and his gang
ching to Greeley as drowning men catch at q
straw but all the able and honest Democrats
hold aloof from him Ia II likely that many
Republicans will voluntarily assist to revive the
broken fortunes Of the Tammany Ring 2-and
that alone Is what the Greeley contest means,
especially in this State.
MR.. GREELEY AND THE GERMAN VOTE.
From the N. 7. Tines
The Democratic candidate is, in truth. highly
unpopular with the Germans, and as there il
nothing to connteract their dislike of him-as
his position as a partisan candidate is absurd
and his pretentiona as statesman are simply

erful personAl resentment, and aHsense Of per-
senal pique toward General Grant, in overoom-
ing the dictates OF his better judgment Other
Germans are not 30 situated. Nothing can pre-
vent them from seing that as a politician Mr.
