Manufacturing Distrust.


To c0unteract the effect of the late ver-
dict of the polls some of the Republican
party newspapers seem to have adopted
the policy Of engendering distrust OF the
Democratic party in various specious
WAYS. While the New York Tribune pre-
tends 10 think il refreshing to learn that
i'm some parts of the South the recent elec-
tiOns were fair, so far as the management
of the canvass and counting of the votes
were concerned these ''signs of improve
ment; are due to the action of the House
at the last session in the contested elec-
tion cases. Probably the next House will

function in the same nay as the last,
and hence the ground for alleging dis
trust which does not exist among the peO-
ME at large As far as the Democratic
representation in the FOrty-eighth Con-
arress is concerned, however, the people
have made the majority so emphatlcally
decisive that pickings and pinchings Will
not be necessary to insure temporary
lease of power. The real ground of ap-
DrehensiOn is the possibility of the Demo
cratic party getting possession OF the ma
tional government. ms fear IS put IOrth
as the expression of Southern Republicans
i'm the present Congress. These are also
represented to set forth that with the gov

wrongs after they haFe been COM
mitted would be lost, 1t Is alleged,
too. that the colored voters have become
demOralized. and can no longer be held
as bondmen by the Republican party; that
in south Carolina, where separate boxes
are required for each kind of ballot IN the
different offices TO be filled, and where
ballots get in the wrong box they are re-

The Canal Company Empowered to
Hold Lotteries.
NORFOLK, Dec. 2O.-Judge Goodwin, in
the Corporation Court, decided to-day that
the Dismal Swamp Canal Company has
the right by virtue of the provision of its
charter to hold one or more lotteries to
raise money for the purpose Of extending
and improving navigation between the
waters of North Carolina and Virginia
through its canal. The act was passed in
1916. The Judge held that the grant to
the company was in the nature of con-
tract, unlimited as to time, and that
the law-making power of the State could
not enact any law impairing the obliga-
ton of contracts.

early completion of huge cotton COM
press on the Algiers side of the river
capable of storing and COMPRISING one
million bales of cotton year. The capital
of the company is one million dollars,
most subscribed by home capitalists,
and the compress is to be completed within
a year. The compress is to be built on
the river bank, and vessels are to be
loaded from the wharves alongside. Ar
rangements are TO be made by which rail-
roads ON the New Orleans side of the river
will be enabled to transfer trains to the
other side and unload directly into the
