The Charleston NelcS aud Courier an
nounces. apparently by authority, that
the public will have 10 curb its impatienes
in regard to the Mason Cotton Harvester,
as it is not intended by the company own
ing the invention 10 place any OF the ma
chimes on the market during the present
season. 4 half dozen machines have
been constructed Of different sizes and
patterns. and tests and Improvements are
being almost constantly made.
II appears that the tests show that the
machines are yet far from perfect and the
wisdom Of the company in not attempt
ing 10 put any Of them on the market this
wear i. consequently. fully indicated. 1t
i claimed that many imperfections IN
construction have been corrected, and
tat the picking apparatus Is now work
ing 30 satisfactory that % per cent. OF the
open cotton is gathered without injury TO
the plant or green bolls in passing once
over the row. and by passing twice over
the row seYen-eighths Of the open cotton
Is harvested.
Mr.. Mason now proposes 70 construct
double machines, 20 that nearly all the
cotton viii be gathered bv once going
over the row. He claims that the pick
ing machinery scarcely needs any further
Improvement. The trouble he encounters
is the apparently minor one Of disposing
Of the cotton after il is picked, as the ma
chine persists in throwing good portion
OF il upon the ground.
In accordance with a suggestion Of
Col. Morehead. President Of the National
Cotton Planters Association, test viii
b. made. at some point in South Carolina
at an early day. before q committee Of the
association and other prominent gentle
men.
The machine will probably not be on
exhibition at the New Orleans Exposition.
1t is announced that if the test proves
satisfactory a construction company will
be organized and preparations made to
have tie machine ready 10 assist in har-
vesting next years cotton crop.
It's asserted that every one who has in
spected the machine has been convinced
q its ultimate success. It Is doubtful,
however. even if it should be ex-
perimentally successful, whether il VIII
be soon 50 perfected and simplified as to
stand the test Of everyday work in the
cotton field.

Blaine a a Beggar Of Votes and
Money.

Money
n the story telegraphed from Washing
ton that Blaine personally solicited cam
paizu funds in Philadelphia IS true, j
shows that he is capable Of sacrificing his
dignity and seIf-respect 70 almost any eX-
taut Ia secure assistance in his canvass.
Its h be regretted that any candidate
for the greatest Office in the world should
deem it necessary TO 90 through the
country exhibiting himself and begging
for votes. but it is far more to be re-
.retteI that a candidate should solicit
money with which 70 bride voters.
There can scarcely be a doubt that the
money alleged to have been collected by
Blaine in Philadelphia Is % be used e
buy votes in Ohio. Was not money used
in Maine to the amount of many thou
sand dollars 10 purchase yotess Are
there not atidavits in existence that IN
Rl4fne's own town 0f Augusta money was
freely used by the Republicans on the day
81 .Iacti8ns The aim 0f the Republican
managers is 10 roll up big majority III
OHIO. a. they did in Maine. without re-
card 10 now the majority is TO be obtained.
4 big majority in Ohio in October, they
argue. viii have an inspiring effect IN
other states in November, and they mean
Is have il If it can be obtained by any
means whatever.
OF course Blaine must feel under obh-
cations ID the rich men who contribute
thousands or dollars towards his election,
and if he should be elected he would feel
that he ought u discharge these obliga-
ti8ns. Nearly all Of these rich men are
interested in matters that are likely o
come before Congress or the depart
mqnts. and they viii expect Blaine's
assistance.
ltiscurrently reported, for instance, that
Law Could has promised TO contribute
verv large sum t. Blaine's campaign fund.
Does anybody believe that Jay Gould
does not expect to get his money back IN
some wavs is stated that Blaine has
promised Gould that in the event Of his
election he will use his influence TO have
the Thurman act repealed. The Union
Pacific Railroad. in which Gould is large
II interested, owes the government about
SI2OoO.u1O. Ii the Thurman act IS re-
pealed the government will never get
what the Union Pacific owes it. 1t Is
time for the people 10 inquire seriously
whether they can afford to have man
who is known to be q political ioboer for
President.
