THAT HOWL.

The Nlnoisan says: "The howl OF
the Southern press over the rejection of
JEFF Davis as orator at the Winnebago
county fair still continues. They seem
to think down there that the people in
this region have no right to select their
own speakers for public occasion, but
must choose jeff Davis and pay hlm
$500 therefor, or be accused Of tearing
open the bleeding wounds of the war,
and relnaugurating sectional strife.' JEFF
Davis did not select the position of
'ne ono 'S~- Illinois fairs-particularly
ties. The manasrIs y. -. y;nn.hago-
him In his home In Tennessee, Invite,
him to oliver an address upon the topic
OF agriculture, and he accepted. Then
the grand fraud OF the republic set up q
howl, and the war was renewed In win.

OF the Radical party-the Grand Army

Rear Admiral Collins,

Napoleon Collins, rear admiral United
States navy, commanding the United
States south Pacific squadron, died at
Callao. Peru. on the ninth ultimo. BY
the death of this officer the service and
the nation have suffered loss to be felt
and lamented during this entire gencr-
alton. He entered the navy from In
diana in 1884, and graduated with high
honors at the Naval college in 1910. hav-
ing previously served AS midshipman on
the West India station. From 1910 to
1874 he served in the East India and
China seas, making a voyage round the
globe, then followed trying but merl-
torious cruise upon the coast of Africa.
In his constant and varied service lac
again visited the eastern seas in COM
mand of one of the ships of Commodore
Perry's world-tamcd squadron which
ltuDjected Japan TO the influences
| of western civilization. As n relaxation
from the active toll OF man-of-war duty,
he at one time commanded Il popular
packet between Panama and san Fran
cisco. In the civil war he won distinc-
ton by the energy with which he COM
battcd all whom he met in array against
his flag, and by the charity of his con-
duct and conversation toward his then
irate brethren Of the south. Following

the China seas. He will be long remem.
bered by our northwestern people as the
efficient lighthouse inspector for the
lower lakes from 1871 to 1874. In june
OF the latter year he was with the rank OF
rear admiral assigned to the command
which he last held. This is but

Colonel Cavett. President of the Cairo
and tennessee River railroad resigned
his position in Paris recently. His res
iznation was accepted. The board then
unanimously elected Major ". J. Sykes
president. In accepting the position,
Major Sykes delivered the following adj
dress:
In accepting the position Of President
Of the Cairo and Tennessee River Rail-
road company, it is proper for me to say
that whilst thank you for thl. manlies-
tation OF your confidence, and duly APP
precixte the compliment you have paid
me, Ifeel very sensibly the responsibility
| assume. When consider the magni-
tude Of the undertaking, the value and
importance of the enterprise as well as
the difficulties attending its execution, it
| is no affectation in me to say, that ! al
most shrink from the task, and ifanother
could DC found who would give his time
and attention 10 it with zeal and earnest
! ness. | would gladly give way TO him.
This.is an enterprise. which If IL can be
made successful, will introduce new era
into our country, and will be the COM
mencemcnt Of system which in ten
years will double the wealth and pop
lilation, not only of the town Of Paris, but
of the entire county of Henry. Whether it
will succeed or not will depend upon the Ell
forts Of those who are most 10 be benefit
ted. If they take hold of it in earnest,
and act in harmony and concert, with
reasonable liberality and public spirit, it
can be accomplished. All that ! can
promise is to do my part with all the en-
| ergy and ability possess. trusting that
will receive not only your good will. but
your active cooperation and assistance,
as well as that of all who are TO receive
the benefit of the successful completion of
this enterprise, otherwise, all my efforts
will be in vain.
There are two companies engaged in
the building of this road--one in Ken
lucky and one in Tennessee. The Ken
lucky company has no stock taken. while
! the one In Tennessee has n considerable
amount. The object Of Mr.. Sykes adj
ministration as president will be to unite
the two companies, and then connect
with the Middle Tennessee road and make
a continuous line to Huntsville, Ala

American States. II l. proposed 10
transport products of the West from 50.
Louis to New Orleans by barges, trans
fcrring them TO ocean steamers, and
thence forwarding them direct to South
American ports. This can be done
much cheaper than shipping through
eastern seaporis. BY the barge and
steamer system the coffee trade with La
Guayra Caracas. Rio and other South
American ports, and the sugar trade
with Cuba, Porto Rico and Demarara
eau be diverted from the usual route

cent sale in Richmond. Va, of 1000
sacks of coffee, which brought sl35,0OO
gold, at an average price OF 20ic. the
principal buyers were from st. Louis and
Louisville. and that il needed no argu-
mcnt to prove that those cargo sales
could be conducted in St Louis by inn
porting direct, with profit to importers
and advantage 10 Western buyers. While
we applaud st. Louis for her energy and
;ntluencc in securing the advantages to
follow the perfection Of her South Ameri-
can project, we cannot but feel that Cairo
Is the true point FROM which direct com-
munication with foreign ports should
emanate. During the months of winter,
when the frgid temperament OF The
