The New Colorado Senator.

Thomas M. Bowen the newly elect
ed Senator from Colorado, is man
Of fifty two years Of age, and native
we think of Iowa. During the war
he commanded a regiment of Kansas
troops, and after the war carpet-bag-
ged into Arkansas where he became
by one of the usual schemes of that
class of political adventures Su-
preme Court Judge. In the senate
rial contest of that State during the
reconstruction period he was a candi-
date against the notorious Dorsey, and
was, it is said, bought off by that star
route worthy. He next turned up as
Governor of Idaho Territory by ap-
pointment of Grant, and then glided
into Judgeship in Colorado, and
now into the Senate from that State.
He is said to be "bonanza King"
and may be regarded as the champion
of the age.

Speaking of the growth and pros>
poets of manufacturing industry in
the Southern States the Philadelphia
Record says: "Shrewd as the New
Englanders are, they did not foresee
all the changes which the destruction
of the labor system of the South
would bring about One of these
changes has gone far enough for,
ward to create a degree of alarm.
The mills of the South, as capital
centres there, will not confne them
selves to the manufacture of coarser
fabrics; in good time the competition
will take n still wider and more dan
eerous shape, and the manufacturers
of the North may as well prepare
themselves for it,

THE railroad officials generally, in New
Orleans, have positively determined
upon breaking up what is known as the
"Scalpers" business. The scalper is
broker in railroad tickets and buys un-
expired and excursion tickets and always
manages to sell them little lower than
the company does, and they are almost
invariably accepted by conductors, on
account of the difficulty in detecting
them from genuine, bona fide tickets.
Last week one of the roads employed
detectives and put them on the track OF
a firm that they had reason to believe
was engaged in that nefarious business,
and it was not long before one of the
parties was arrested with a counterfei
of the company's ticket stamp, and as
signed to quarters in the station
house. The railroad companies ar,
right in this matter and should not per
| nit any reasonable expense to dete
them in prosecuting the "scalpers" t.
the eud of the law, which would be th
end of the scalping business.

The LOaning of Government
Tents 10 be stopped.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 90,-The Senate
Military Committee to-day reported ad
versely to the resolution to loan 100
tents to the directors of the competitive
drill at Nashville. Tenn. 1t recites as a
reason for the adverse report the bad
faith on the part of committees, organi>
zations, ETC., to whom tents have hereto
fore been loaned by special authority of
Congress, and consequent losses to the
Government on account Of property
damaged, destroyed or not returned.
In the Forty>5ixth Congress and at
the last session of the present Congress
eleven special acts of this nature were
passed which authorized the loaning of
$3.50 tents. These loans exceeded the
supply on hand. and the war Depart
ment has estimated that an appropriaN
ton of $62, ,636 So will be necessary to
enable fultillment of the acts without
crippling the service. The committee
think the loaning business has been
carried to an extreme and that the time
has come to put stop to it.

New ENGLAND is slowly coming

ators Hoar and Dawes, Edmunds,
Merrill, Frye, Hale, ,Hawley and Platt,
all voted against the higher rates de-
manded by the Pennsylvania interest
on pig-iron, iron ore and steel ingots.
- Washington Post.
Not much "coming around" in that
action: The New England Senators
have been consistently selfish all the
way through in their tariff votes, and
never more so when they voted
against an advance on pig iron, iron
ore and steel ingots. They look upon
them as ssraw material' and it is the
policy of New England to get he'
raw material into the country at a.
low rates as possible, and to pile W
the tariff on the things she makes ou

A gentleman was put off the L. and
N train Monday night for trying to
travel on ticket purchased from
scalper, and on which was q bogus
signature. 1t appears that scalpers
are having q hard run Of luck, and it
also appears that the railroad officials
of this city are determined to break
up all swindling transactions induIg
ed in by the clan of ticket brokers'.
Tickets which are discovered to have
been tampered with will be taken up
and the consequence is, a great many
people will be forced to pay their fare
or get off the train. ". d. Times

ALABAMA's State Treasurer, Vim

nearly two hundred and eighteen
thousand dollars, but left Sl70,300

$4,000 more to his clerk and book
keeper, to be handed over to the
State, together with note stating
that he was going to New York to
raise the money to straighten up his

THE attempt to raise the import
duty on cotton ties from 35 per cent.
ad valorem to one and four tenth
cents a pound, was defeated in the
Senate on Saturday and the duty
remains at the present figure. A mo-
ton by Senator Barrow of Georgia to
put ties on the free list received but
a dozen or less votes, as most of the
Senators who would have favored 1t
as an original proposition have already
agreed upon compromising at the
present rate after fully assuring them
selves that it was the very best rate
that could be secured by hard fight
ing, as a number of senators who are
emphatic in their demands for ga
tariff for revenue only" were earnest
in the claim that there was no more
reason for cotton ties going on the
free list than iron barrel hoops, wire
for baling hay, or grain sacks.

Biennial Elections.

We are in favor of biennial elections,
md in favor of holding the elections for
State and County officers on the same
day that is appointed for Congressional
and Presidential balloting, but we are
not ready to submit our State and Coun-
ty elections to the supervision and vir>
tual control of Federal inspectors. This
difficulty can however be easily obviated
by establishing seperate voting places at
every precinct, with additional judges,
so that there can be no interference in
State or County affairs by the Federal
officials. This plan would entail upon
MS the pay for two sets of officers on
election days instead Of one as under the
present system, but then we would lose
nothing by that as we would hold but
one election where we hold two now, and
would save considerable i'll the way OF
election advertising and other incidental
expenses. But even if this plan for
biennial elections was little more ex
pensive than we find the present, annual
system, is this additional expense worthy
of a moments consideration in view of
the Importance of local control OF our
dearest privilege?
In the State of New York seperate
boxes are provided at the vari BUS poll
ing places for Federal, State and County
offices, and you vote three separate and
distinct ballots at elections in which all
three classes of officials are to be voted
for, and we could in Mississippi secure
full vote at every election by adopting
the biennial plan, and secure our State
and its component parts against Fedora
supervision, manipulation or interfer
ence by having at each precinct two
boxes and two sets of judges.
We are glad to see that the Clarioi
and other influential Mississippi journals
favor this plan, and hope that the Leg
islnture ut its next session will give th
matter due attention. The people ar
tired of annual elections, but they ar
not ready, and never will be ready, t.
submit to Federal interference or super
vision in their State affairs.

not endorse his vote on the civil SER

The idea of making room by paying
out the silver, seems never to have

dearest hope Of the present admins
istration is to secure repeal of the
law requiring two millions OF stand
ard dollars to be coined monthly,
but it is doomed to disappointment,

off in standard dollars, is guaran'
