THE opinion obtains that the st.
Louis Republican is partner of E.ds
not only in the big bridge but in the
jetty business, the latter sham main
tanned that the Mississippi may remain
mare clsusum and that the wealth of
the continent may never change its
course across the continent. The Re
publican was given $25, 600 stock in
the bridge company. II was entitled
to this stock. 1t prepared the public
mind for the inception of the mighty
enterprise. The stock WAS issued to
the newspaper and when the bridge
changed hands the new owners sought
to nuilify the stock and avoid the
contract with the Republican because,
as was alleged. it paid not dollar for
this stock aud only devoted its pages,
as was the duty of the newspaper, to
the advocacy of the erection of the
bridge. The case came before learn
ed judge who properly held that
Public journals use their columns
and their influence for the legitimate
purpose of earning money, and this
fact is well known to the community
at large. l. was absolutely necessary
for the bridge company to have means
of reaching the public ear, and neither
the company nor the public expect this
facility to be granted to them gratui-
tously, nor is it likely that the public
at large Is, deceived by such use of the
public press.
The stock held was given for brain
work and manual labor and for ink
and use of type and press work, and
$25, 900 was not great sum to be paid
for the achievement of such q task as
this accomplished By the press of st.
Louis.

TIE press of the South as represent

tent that the modest and timid newt
papers have uttered opinions, is al
most an unit in opposition to the brig
sdiers so-called. Reagan is wisest OF
them when he says that Congress must
not adjourn till the appropriation bills
are passed. If the army is not main
tanned the North will believe the brig
sdiers dissolved it in order to precipi-
tate another rebellion.

Understanding debt could now be
funded in four per cents. If the bonds
were subject to call. The Secretary
has submitted q statement showing the
revenue receipts for the month Of May
to have been about three millions larger
than for April. OF this amount about
one million was owing to the extra de-

new law, but for the other two mil
lions he gave no reason beyond the
general improvement of business.

MONDAY, the twenty-sixth, the an
niversary of Lees surrender, was Deco
ration Day in the South. In Louis
Vile, after the Confederate graves had
been honored with flowers, Col. w. C..
P. Breckenridge delivered the eulogy,
and said: Il lay my hand upon my
heart, and lift my eyes to God, and in
the name Of this assemblage aYow that
this homage is in honor of martyrs to
liberty, who died for the right, and
gave their lives in defense Of the truth,
aud that q republic of States can be
preserved only on the principles on
which the COnfederacy was founded. "
A principle in government is not q
theory. 1t is not the thought Of man.
1t is not the product Of human hands
or human brain. Il is GoS-given and
heaven-descended. Il is q law Of the
universe and power and parties fight
it in vain. II this be true why assert
such principle extensively. Sooner
OF later it will be omnipotent because
it is truth and right and God Almighty
is IN il. Therefore the unutterable
folly Of such pronunciamientos as this

ems those who fear truth and abhor
right as he sees it. He postpones the
consummatiOn of that perfect political
peace aud blessedness ONLY possible, he
assumes, when this philosophy is In
jscted into all American governments.
ESstina leAte, il all that this Kentuckian
says be true, is the only maxim which
the South need practice and the only
one which Tilden breads. Tilden's
candidAtnre depends upon the sup
preston Of every issue except that
which eonsoIidAtes the North against
the South, and Breckenridge's tiorAlly
decorated speech Is well cAlcnlAted TO
serve Tilden even As it would bring
disasters upon these impoverished

The coolest bld for tie presidency
which has yet been made was that of
John Sherman, who, in letter TO II
friend in New York, said to have been
war Democrat, told him how he
would conduct the canvass il nOmi-
mated. His plan would be to unite
the war Democrats with the Repubh-
cane, and thus bring together all the
elements of the country that upheld
the national authority during the war,
'not for the purpose of irritating the
s 'uth, bat to assert and maintain the
supremacy of the national authority"
Sherman is satisfied that the Republl-
can candidate will In no event carry
s )uthern State, and he has thus hit
upon the only plan that promises sue
cess in the next canvass, tO-wit., the
union of the North against the nth
He proposes to iaise the war and sec
tional issue In it's worst form. He
would unsettle that which has been
s.ttled, would revive the bitterness Of
the past, and divide the people by
geographical line aud not on measures
and principles. Bat the Secretary of
the Treasury is not singular in this po-,
sition. p aine and Chandler and Lo-
gan and all the stalwarts of the party
are endeavOring to make up the issue
of solid North against solid South,
but if successful they will clear the way,

to be revived, which We can not be-
lieve, who is so likely to become the

The Steel Rail Prospect - Extravagan
Ideas.

Ideas.
American Manufacturers.
4 report Of conversation with Mr.
Oliver Garrison, vice president OF the
/ Missouri Pacific railroad, published in
the Cincinnati EHYIirCr, shows that the
gentleman cntertains the most hopeful
views of the steel rail business, and OF
the prospect OF railroad building.
Twelve thousand miles Of new rail-
roads" he SAYS "arc in sight now, 10 be
built next summer a statement which
will not be accepted without much hest
tation when il is considered that in the
best year of the history OF railroad build
inc llS7I the mileage OF new roads
built was only 1910 miles lPOOr's Man
uelI, and that in last year, according TO
the Rqiiroad Gd-,tts. only 2,6SS miles
were built. His estimate of the cost OF
steel rails, So per toni it is not the
mistake oil the reporters also at var
lance with the facts, 50 to $40 per ton
We have no doubt would be much near
or the correct figure. We give below
the concluding portion OF the inter
view:
How many stccl-rail furnaces are
there in the country?
about ten in running order-ten
big ones
"What are the rest dOing?'
""Oh, living still now, and will lie still
till steel rails advance to SO per ton,
aud then, presume, they will all start
up. 1t costs 81 per ton to make steel,
rails
What stopped the other steel rail
mills"
ooh. there Is stecl-furnace pool.
Ii was agreed when steel rails got so
low that ten furnaces would run-do all
the work and divide the profits with the
mills standing still. The big steel rail
furnace belonging to the GarrlsonS,
down on the Iron Mountain railroad,
has been standing still for several years.
We have been paid $4,000 per annum
from the pool To stand still. Now, when
iron advances, presume we will start
up-that is. when the ten mills now
making the rails for the country find
they cant 10 all the work"
Then railroad and iron interests look
prosperous Just now
VERY. Never, in ten years, has the
future and present looked So bright as
now for their interests.
