The Freezing Process in Engineering.

The Freezing Process in Engineering.
From the Chicago Railway Review.
The freezing process for sinking
shafts, piers, etc., through quicksand
promises to be one of immense utility
in practical engineering. 1t is even
believed that the invention (Which Is
European one) will surpass In i'm
portance the pneumatic process, which
has been used to so great advantage
in late years, especially in bridge con-
struction. The process consists SIM
ply in sinking tubes connected with
suitable apparatus and machinery
for freezing. The sand or silt is in
this manner easily CONCEALED and the
work of excavation is carried on with
comparative ease. BY the use of this
process many beds of coal, which are
overlaid by quicksands through which
it has heretofore been impossible to
sink shafts, can be opened and worked.
Bridge piers can be sunk in numerous
places (notably on the Mississippi
river) where it has heretofore been
deemed practically impossible to build
bridge. The same is true of tunnels.
1t has recently been stated that the
Hudson River tunnel has been aban-
doned for good. This is not true.
The death of Mr.. Trenor Park,
its principal financial promoter,
has put stop to the active
progress of the work; but we under
stand that his estate will endeavor TO
secure the completion of the work.
The freezing process seems to be espe-
cially adapted to this great work. It
is claimed by competent authority
that by this means the tunnel can be
constructed successfully, rapidly and
economically.
1t will thus be seen that this in
vention may properly he classed
among the most important of recent
times. We understand that arrange-
ments for securing the right to use it
in this country are in progress "a
prominent engineering firm which
has had great experience with the
pneumatic process having obtained
an option for certain time.

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.
Yet in the presence of a history S

et IN the presence or history so
recent-not to say monotonous-with
characteristic brass. the faction as
serts its devotion to free government.
1t is for the people, in the election
now approaching, to say whether the
policy of a class TO mass lands in the
hands of the few shall be reversed or
perpetuated in Texas. Whoever votes
the democratic ticket, votes for a
landlord system, not less malevolent
than that dominant in Ireland. Who
ever advocates the lease law antagon-
ICES the fundamental principles of
free institutions. To sell or lease the
public lands offends the primal laws
of nature, and commends itself alone
to the fool whose self-conceit assumes
that he is better than other men. Be
lieving that this great ques-
ton lies at the foundation of
stable government, and being
| in sentiment with the masses of
humanity, l accept the issue rendered
| by the Houston convention and an
nounce myself
| A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
And, though do not regard state
and federal policies in sympathy,
have no concealmentS to make. The
government should raise its revenue
| by tariff so adjusted as to foster and
encourage American industries. The
credit of nation, instead of being
| farme6 out to classes, should be
utilized in the interest OF the whole
people. The public lands should be
1 secured to actual settlers, securing to
the masses future homes.
Public education should be encour-
aged. Instead of providing fund to
educate the children of the twenty
first century, educate those of the
present generation. Let any man
challenge his memory, and he will not
fail to respond that he never knew q
father and mother who could read and
write, whose children made cross
mark, and there is not fool in Texa:
who does not know that education be
gins at the cradle and ends only at tn,
grave; and our best teachers ar,
fathers and mothers sand there is no
a fool in Texas, to-day, who does no
know that one dollar in the culture o
the children OF the present generation
is worth million an hundred year
hence. such being an indisputabl
fact, is it possible that the commol
! mind can fail to detect the hyp0cris,
that turks in democratic pretenses TO
: public education. A year ago the con
5 stitntion was amended so as 70 impos

does not breathe 50 feeble an intellect

SUCH HYPOCRISY,
and If we mean to ever be in earnest,
or to make an issue fair and square,
now is the time to make it. If Jeffer-
son or Washington had tampered
with the tories, or lent manhood the
countenanee of royalty, America had
never been free. 1t is when issues
are sharp and we'll defined, that hypo-
critics are exposed and truth triumphs.
Whoever supports the action of the

He is also in favor of
THE JURY SYSTEM,
now so unqualified in its relations to
the public generally, as to amount to
a tool in the hands of the judge. The
people, through their county courts,
should select their juries.

it but just to myself
to call public attention to
the brotherly triune embrace of Lead

picture in its African sympathy may
not be without coloring, attention
is called to the Houston love feast
over Simon, the sexton, a gennine ne
gro, whose only merit was that he had
voted the democratic ticket, and it Is
said, whether by authority or not, that
Ireland floods in gladness, while Hub
bard evaporated in eloquence over the
epoch that begins democratic aflilia-
ion with the colored race.
In announcing myself as candi.
