THE NEW ENGLAND MANUFACTURE
ERS' AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE.

WE are in receipt Of communicable
else ahere published in this issue, from the
Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute
of Massachusetts,, directing general atten-
ton to an address to the state of Texas, as
well as to other southern states, extending
4 cordial invitation to make an exhibit OF
its agricultural products and resources at
the third annual fair OF the Institute, and
which will be opened the first week OF Sep
TENDER, 1888, and continue for a couple of
months. The purpose of the proposed ex-
hibition IS to afford an opportunity to all
those states and territories which wish. for
settlers from the north to present in practi-
cal shape examples Of the products of the
soil illustrative of It's adaptability 10 the va
rious branches of planting, farming and
horticulture The secretary says that the
new rail- way systems Of the great west will
be invited to make a similar exhibition at
the Institute, that the north may thus be-
come for the time being the arena in which
the south and west may compete with each
other for the surplus population
which yearly leaves New England
III search of homes else where. The
idea of this Exposition appears TO have
grown out of the one which was had some
time since, in 1881, at Atlanta, Georgia.
There the leading members of the manu-
featuring, as well as mechanical pursuits,
and the agriculturists became acquainted
with one another and recognized the value
which personal contact gave to efforts to
promote. the industrial cause. This state
is deeply intere sted in the project and It is
to be hoped that the governor will make
due provision for proper representation.
Texas has lands for sale, tim
bered, farming, mining, safeguarding,
etc.. she has also sites of the most
desirable kind for manufacturing purposes.
For the development Of all these we need
capital, and population, and skill. The
north, and especially the New Etngland
states, can furnish each of these desiderata.
II we shall take care to send on truly
worthy representatives, under the invita-
ton, there is no calculating the amount OF
benefit that We may reap as result. We
possess the soil and the climate, and We
need only the aid that moneyed power can
contribute to double the values ofour prop
critics, be these urban or rural. The propo-
sitions made are emirently worthy Of the
prompt attention of our people.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.

In the Southwestern portion OF Kentucky
is TO be found a creek bearing the rather
unique name Of "Hell for Certain" From
the banks of this curiously named stream
comes to us a story, whose almost tragic
denouement was yesterday witnessed in
Dallas county. 1t seems there lived two
farmers on the banks OF this stream, whose
farms were separated by it, named respec-
lively Samuel X. Richardson and Thomas
johnson. Each was the head OF a large
family, but it is with the second child.

ALAS. FOR TIE REPUBLICAN rARTri

Perhaps there was not one man in Amer
lea who anticipated the full extent of the
defeat of the republican party on last Tues
day. While hundreds clearly enough fore
saw the democrats would carry New York
by ten, twenty aud even fifty thousand,
there was some doubt about Pennsylvania
and Indiana up to the night before the
election. and no hone OF winning anything
in any other direction. No bet, so far as
known, was made that CLEVELAND would
carry New York by over $1,000 votes. A
million dollars would have been covered on
70, 600, aud perhaps twenty million on
l5O,OOOvotes. In looking back over the his
tory Of political parties since the formation
of the government we find three precedenis
OF this election: The defeat and death Of
the federalists in 1902, the ceieat and
death OF the wings in 1852, and
the humiliation Of the Know-nothings in
1854. Upon the ruins Of these parties the re-
publican party was formed. IL had then
but one idea, but one purpose, the freeing
Of the negro. It's editOrs, orators and
speakers thought, worked and dreamed Of
nothing else. In congress no one Of its
members would make speech, write bill,
or even bold a conversation upon any
other topic, without Juggling in the
slavery question. The war was The result,
and having plunged the country in Fight

REPUBLICAN, exchange says: while

republicans all over the country, they never
fully realized such food as is reported in

case of SAMSON and the temple. The pee
pie undertook to punish the bosses and fell
with them under the ruins OF the temple.
There will, however, be resurrection Of
the temple and resurrection of the VIC
TINS. The republican party is of too grand
a history and too promising of noble pur-
pose in the future to go down. Croake's
to the contrary, its mission is not yet filled.
The result yesterday does not show that re-

country than it has held for years, hut
rather that the purifying process is going

nobler deeds" Yes, continue to refine it,
