The Montgomery long Fibre
Cotton Gin Company, Of Washing
ton, ID. G, is the name OF a compa-
ny that promises to work a revolu
ton in cotton ginning. They are
the owners Of patent for the treat
ment of cotton by chemical means,
whereby every particle of the cot
ton, they claim, is separated from
seed, leaving the latter as smooth
as If polished. The process is said
not to injure in the slightest degree
either the cotton or the seed; and
moreo .er, the cotton is detached in
its natural condition, leaving the
long, 1eecy fibre just as it grows.
This, of course, will add to its val
ue, making it more like the long
staple cotton. The successful OPP.
Grafton of such a method as this
would increase enormously the cash
value of the crop, in addition to its
other numerous manifest advanta-
ges. The process can be used with
the present style of gin, and the
company is arranging to license
gins now in operation. Meanwhile
they are themselves perfecting ma
chinery to take the place of the old
style gin. The process has been
put into operation at Griffin, Ga,
and the company is now putting up
machinery there to use it on a
larger scale. If the claims of this
company regarding this invention
are confirmed, when put to the
most thcrugh. tests, its Importance
can hardly be over-estimated.-

Who are the Rascals2

People who are on the lookout
for rascals will find that they are
not always located on a single side
of trade. 1t Is essential in some
kinds of transactions that there be
two distinct parties to the effort to
swindle, or it must fail. This is
palpably the case in grain and pro
duce gambling. The one thing on
hich honest folks can reflect with
satisfaction in come ction with this
alleged business is that in the trans
action itself they can never suffer.
The effort to make money by par
ticipating in the modern specula-
tive "dear' is in itself essentially
tlishonest-and almost in the same
degree that the engineering of the
''deaP' itself is dihsonest. On either
side of it is a scheme to secure some
thing for which there is no pretense
of rendering an equivalent. In this
case the victim shares the guilt of
shrewder scamps who dupes him
and it is extremely difficult to get
up a feeling of sympathy for him.
No farmer is ever swindled in
this way who is attending to his le-
Ultimate business. 1t is only when
he steps outside the pale of honest
production as means of accumu
lation that he becomes the victim
of board of trade manipulation. He
must first throw away his business
scruples before he can be duped
in this way, and after he has done
this with an intelligent under
standing of what it means, whatever
financial retribution follows is just
ly merited. 1t is then only a ques-
ton of degree IN honesty-not a
conflict between moral integrity
and rascality.
Honest men are often duped, but
it is not in the same way. They
may purchase something which is
ostenslbly valuable, only to discover
that it is is worthless; or may sign
one thing, only to find that it is
something else; or may in scores OF
other ways, through their conf
dence in their fellow men, be i'm
posed upon. But in all this there
is no effort to get anybody at a dis
advantage. This kind of victim
merits sympathy and vindication

PUBLIC PRINTER.


John q. ston Stands but Little Chance Of
Getting the Place.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 20.--John B. Stoll Of
South Bend. has been walked of q great deal
to-day in connection with the public printer
ship. This talk was not altogether favorable
however. One report was circulated, about
noon, that delegation of Indiana Democrats
had waited upon the President, and urged hns
not to appoint Stoll, on the ground that he was
not acceptable to majority of the party in the
State Representative Lowry this evening
denied this story, though, and said that there
was, in fact, no opposition to Stoll from Demo-
cratic congressman or others of influence i&
Indiana. He stated that Stoll was their choice.
and that if any Indianian was
appointed Public Printer it would be
Stoll. Some Of the Indiana Democrats expected
the nomination for Public Printer to reach the
Senate to-day and were really disappointed that
it did not 1t was stated again that no change
will be made in Public Printer for the present.
The Indiana Democrats, so one Of their number
says, have not urged their man for immediate
appointment, but recommend that he be chosen
whenever the President shall see fit to make q
change 1t is reported that during his visit to
the White House, yesterday afternoon, Public
Printer Rounds was assured by President Cleve-
land that he did not contemplate any immediate
change in his Office.

want to do is to get down and be very orderly
among ourselves, and have kind of a convent
discipline. Then a injury or two hence, when
thesworld has picked up everything available, we
shall come in for the scraps The simple fact
has been, within our experience, that those ma
tions which have taken the initiative have derived
all the advantage. Our own country never be-
gan anything in which it did not succeed. Far
back In the origin of American States we fought
the Indians behind and tho Spanish and French
in front, and consequently gained an en-
pire. Boston, now so conservative, fitted
out big fleets to go to and take Louis
burg. The first British island taken by the
AngloSaxon race was Jamaica, captured by
Cromwell, and I think William PENIS father
was the admiral sent to take it There began
the huge AngloSaxon domination in the Ameri
can tropics, without which there would never
have been any South American independence,
for Spain was able herself to take care of her
mainland colonies and these republican, or semi
republican colonies adjacent to all the Spanish
possessions, soon caused a ferment.
Alexander Hamilton had the greatest ambi-
tion OF his life to succeed Washington, as COM
rnander-in-chief, and wrest the whole of SPANS
possessions in America from her. If you want
to get information on this head, read the first
volume of the works of John Adams, where his
grandson, Charles Francis, brings out the points.
Alexander Hamilton is now considered by some
old fogies to have been the most conservative
spirit we possessed. On the contrary, he desired
to be the Napoleon of the new world not for
Napoleon's mean purposes. but for the extension
of the Anglo Saxon republic and its influence

hundred every day now. Oh! I'm tired of it all"

them. / did So They are all right, and I'd

thing too promiscuously, and it does no good.
I've found that the single Endorsement OF scna-
tor or member of Congress is no good on an ap-
plication. The only way to get Office is to apply
personally, and take your indorsers with you.
The name Of senator does no good, but his
presence with the applicant gives the appliea-
ton the instant touch of earnestness."

FRANCE AND CHINA.

Runor that France Desires a Renewal of
Peace Negotiations.
LONDON, March 20-The ST. James Gazette
asserts that the French government has intima-
ted to the Chinese minister at Berlin that it con-
siders renewal of peace negotiations desirable
The minister replied that China would never pay
the indemnity demanded by Frame for the
Langson affair. In view of this reply the Gazette
concludes that If negotiations for peace are
resumed, they will be on the basis of complete
session of Tonquin to the French. China the
Gazette says, will not permit temporary occupa-
ton of Formosa.
A blue book has just been issued containing
the correspondence between the French and
English governments in connection with the
declaration by France of rice as contraband of
war.. In letter to Granville, dated Feb "a, the
French Minister stated that rice destined for
Canton and southern Chinese ports would be al
lowed to pass freely, and that the ports north of
Canton would alone be affected by the prohibi-
ton.

TURNING THEIR COATS.

Clerks Who Profess q Change of Politics In
Order to Retain Their Places.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Probably no one
thing in political life is disgusting Republican
senator's and representatives so thoroughly just
now as the disposition of large portion Of the
employees in the departments here to turn their
backs upon the party (which gave them their
official positions and crawl to that party now in

to prove Democratic records, in order that they
may add to the civil service relay of protec-
ton.

of a division in the First Comptroller's office,
who at the time Borker, clerk in that branch,
resigned and denounced the Republican party,
could not find words bitter enough to brand him
as traitor a leech, etc., who is now playing
sycophant to perfection. / found him at the
dead hour of night, thirty-six hours ago. on a

clamored for so long as its prospects were bright
Now that it cannot reward him further, for
the moment he curries favor with the opposition
in the most disreputable way Many are there
of the same class.

BISHOP TNlGG RESIGNED.
The Catholic Bishop Of Pittsburg Lays Down

PrrTsBuRe, March 20--A great deal Of in

this city by the rumor that Bishop Twigg had
forwarded his resignation TO the Archbishop of
Baltimore. Bishop Twigg has been in such poor
health for so long that it is admitted that he is
physically incapacitated for the duties that fall
upon him. Mentally he is as well as he ever
was
The Right Rev. John Tw;gg. D. D., is a native
of county Cork, ireland, where he WAS born in
the year 1920 Having pursued his studies for
some time in All Hallows Missionary College, he
came to this country and entered st. Michael's
Seminary, Pittsburg. Upon the completion Of
his studies in theology, he was ordained by
Bishop O'Connor on the 18th of May, 1850,
and placed at the Cathedral as an assistant
Here he remained, sharing with the other priests
in the arduous duties of that large congregation,
and acting as secretary to the bishop. In 1853
he was assigned the duty of organizing St.
Bridgets congregation and building them q

ministration.
Jas. H. Jordan of Richmond, is struggling for
place in the Postofice Department. He is not
particular about the title of the place, so its
duties are not onerous and the salary is good.

engaged in deep consultation at the rooms of
the former at the Arlington, last evening Mr..
Mcdonald gave orders at the Office that no cards,
no matter by whom offered, should be sent to
him, as he would not see any one during the
evening.
The knowing ones, who watch all the
moves and games here, say that the slate for
Indiana is being prepared, and that when tho
appointments are made it will be plainly seen
that the favors Of the new regime are not for
Thomas, but for Joseph. Hoosier Democrats
about the hotels, who have learned of the eau
Gus at the Arlington, are thoroughly excited,
and anxious to learn what is the result. More
light will probably be vouchsafed them soon.
