THE BOND question.

There is an amendment to the
State Constitution, forever prohibit
ing the payment Of some $4,000, 900
Of the Bullock Bonds, to be finally
ratified by the next Legislature. II
is a very important matter and in
connection with it we submit the
following remarks from the Savan-
nah News:
awe have urged upon our Demo-
cratic friends of the respective coun-
ties to take action in the matter, and
to require a pledge from their candi-
dates to vote for the amendment that
is, we trust, to put at rest forever
this great swindle, the Bullock-Kim.
ball bonds. 1t has been suggested
that it is only necessary that the peo
pie should send men Of intelligence
and unquestioned integrity to the
Legislature--that linen Of character
will support the amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting the payment
Of the fraudulent bonds" The peo-
pie would have n right to expect such
action from men of character. But
can they safely rest this question on
such grounds In the past, men
and editors Of intelligence and char
acter have urged 'the equities" of
the bond question, and advocated a
compromise with the so-called "inno-
cent holders" 1t is possible that
men of integrity may differ on the
important question of the duty or the
policy of the State to recognize the
frauds perpetraied by the Bullock
banditti in the name of the State.
We are not prepared to question the
intelligence or the honesty Of all
those who may differ with US on this
subject. We would put the matter
on higher and securer ground. We
would have the people, the tax pay
ers of Georgia, declare their will in
the matter, and require Of the men
whom they send to represent them
10 the Legislature q pledge to vote in
accordance with that will. Besides,
there is moral power in the voice
ofthe people, which while it inspired
tirmness in their representatives
would crush the hopes Of their plun>

an enterprise involving long expert
ence and much scieutifc labor. In the
days of the Colinies, silk Culture was
vigorously pursued, but the results never
amounted to anything of lasting value. The
climate was not favorable to the fertility OF
the grub-worm, and the production of cotton
and tobacco supplanted the husbandry of
silk. Yet some very fine pieces of this IA
nous material were manufactured in this
country in the year 1875. Queen Caroline
wore a dress of American silk; and the Earl
of Chesterfield had a coat of rich silk man.
ufactured in South Carolina. In 1747, Gov
ernor Law, of Connecticut, wore coat made
of "home silk" In ITO, raw silk was man.
ufactured in the New England states. Yet
these great successes in weaving silk in this
country were destined to amount to naught,
and the enterprise to become an utter failure.
But. after long years of rest, the husbapdry
of silk was again revived in America.
THE CHENEY BROTHERS,
near Hartford, Connecticut, have succeeded
in manufacturing silks which are without a
rival for durability, beauty of finish and
cheapneSs. This house was established in
1870 at which time only sewing silk was
manufactured. In 1850, silk Innings were
produced, and, ten years later, a superior
made their appearance The enterprise con-
tinued to grow in favor. Mr.. Cheney was
indefatigable in his efforts to build up a
profitable silk husbandry in America. He
sent to China and Europe for experienced
workmen, and has finally succeeded in pro-
ducing fabric equal in beauty TO Lyons
silks. American silks are spun instead
of woven. There are many secrets in
the manufacture of all goods, but the pro.
duction of silk appears to have a double
share of the mysterious. The value of silk
| is generally estimated by its weight. II il
! has heavy, thick body, it is very desirable
goods, and brings a handsome price. Much
of this weighty quality is effected in the pro
cess of dying the raw material, which can bt
made, through the influence of minerals
to weigh three times its original weight
The result is rich-looking fabric, that j:
apt to wear very poorly. When the goods
are made up, it will soon become shabby
looking, crack in the folds, in fact, present
the appearance of "used-up" gar
ment when it is quite new. The
Cheney Brothers gros grains lay nc
and very smooth finish; and, in not possess
ing these qualities, the manufacturers aver
that the silk will wear better, the threads
being perfectly free from all oxide proper
ties, and the weight consisting entirely o
silk. Another very important point gained
in the manufacture OF Cheney's silks is theil
cheapness. At 81 per yard, retail, you car
purchase a silk equal, and in some respect:
superior, to an imported silk that will cos
| from - 80 to So per yard. The secret of The
American silks selling so much cheapel
than a foreign silk, is simply this: In TIT
first place there are no duties to pay; next
the fabric is spun by machinery, instead o
being woven in looms.
