A GOOD GUESS.

Some Northern newspapers can see
the mote in the Southern eye, but
can't see the beam in the Northern eye.
Their vision seems to improve at long
range. They see a terrible violation
of law in the Southern people refusing
to submit to negro rule, but they seem
to see nothing serious in their ever
lasting strikes, where the law is openly
yaampled under foot, and murders
de boldly committed. Recently
The Chinese were shot, burned and
shown no sort of quarter, although
they were trying their best to get out
of the way.
In st. Louis the street car strikers
carried things with a high hand; they
killed policemen, thumped innocent
passengers on the head, and destroyed
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
worth of property.
What those Northern fellows would
do if the negroes should attempt to
rule them we can't say with exact GER
talnty, but we can make a good guess
They would kill them so fast, the
correct record could not be kept.

The Cotton sunnIv.

The cotton exchange reports receipts Of cot
ton fol the present season t. Monday as being
1851 bales, against 1883 bales at this date last
season. he stock on hand Monday was 1857
bales against l,345 b les at this time last year.
The receipts are increasing daily, and the pros
poets are now that the increase on last
years supply will hold Its own to
the last. The planters are busy gath
ering and ginning, and many of them
are asking for plckers, as the fields are whiten-
ing on them faster than they can gather it, and
they fear falling weather will catch them before
they have gathered their crops. In the matter
Of procuring hands they experience an unheard
OF Obstac e before in this section-a scarcity of
hands at any price. Reliable hands ARE not to
be had in Vicksburg and nut few can be had in
the surrounding hill counties. 1t has been the
custom in the past for 1.-THE hills" to furnish
1.-THE swamps," with a surplus of cotton plckers,
but this season they are mott be found althol gh
in many localities planters are offering as high
as rs cents per hundred. This scarcity of hands
is accounted for in the fact that the incrt ased
acreage In the hills has given steady employ
ment to and caused TO settle down many Of the
heretofore VasSilatlng and migratory labOrers
who have heretofore been ready TO hire to go
anywhere to pick cotton In the fall.
II we can gather the crop now open,
and in the fields we are assured by a majority
Of our country friends that the outlook will by
no means be as gloomy as Is now b y some
thought to be. A well posted contributor to an
exchange gives the following statement Of the

weight of 400 mounds.

vision on county officers. Both sides
claim they will carry the county for
their State ticket and the majority
either way is not likely to exceed 400.
TOLEDO, Oct. 13-The vote to-day
averages ten to fifteen per cent. less
than last year. The Prohibition vote
was small in the city, and shows
scarcely any increase. Returns are
coming in slowly on account Of the
number Of scratched tickets, but indi-
cations are that the Republicans have
elected most Of their county ticket BY
somewhat decreased pluraiities from
last year. The exceptions are Ward
and Puck. the former for sheriff, and
the latter for representative. Baum
back, Republican, for representative, is
believed to be elected by a small plu-
rality.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 13-The indica-
tons are that Foraker has carried
Cleveland and Cuyahaga county by
about 1000 and that the Republican
county ticket is elected by varying ma
%jorities. All over3 the "western re-
serve" substantial Republican gains
are shown and in only one town, ODER

Republican loss. A full vote was

BECK7S STRENGTH.

Beck will be hard to beat in Novem-
Der and it will require the assistance
of all good citizens to accomplish it.
He is strong because he is unscrupu-
lous and has robbed the county of
sufficient money to control some white
votes and a large number Of negroes.
Hei is cunning, avaricious, thoroughly
selfish, and fully aware of the power
of money. That explains his brazen
boast that he has ten dollars to every
other candidates one, and if that was
not enough the privilege of Mr..
Rigby's bundle. Money is his strength,
for outside of money he has not a
loyal friend in the world. 1t is aImat-
ter Of common remark that no man
ever remained in office as long as he
has, who did not have some trusty
friends outside of money and business
relations.
But Beck has not one. He is a
cold calculating, a%varicious scoundrel.
His plan in this campaign is very sim
pie, he proposes to buy his way into
office.
The good citizens will of course OBJ
ject to his committing this aggrava-
ting violation of law, that he may con-
tinue to rob them, but ~objecting ito it,
will not defeat it by a long shot. The
way to defeat it, is not to permit him
to buy votes nor voters to sell votes.
The law is plain on the subject, and
all the good citizens have to do, is to
see that 1t is not violated. If they will
do that, Beck's strength will vanish
into thin air, and his reputation bought
Of the lying lips of dirty strikers and
bummers, will be as despicable as that
of Tweed or any other official thief.
Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1885-10-16

SOME colored people blame the
whites for their having no chance to
have representation in office. That is
nonsense. Beck and company are the
only obstacles to a most admirable ar
rangement between the two races.
The negroes must see how unreason-
able it is to expect the privilege of Sc
lecting white officials to all the best
Offices in the county, and then hope to
get places for some of their own race.

Trade and TraVel--Talk with Jay
Gould on Railroad Matters,

Gould on Railroad Matters.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. lin an inter
view with a Globe-D Democrat reporter,
while he was in this city yesterday,
respecting his railroad property, Jay
Gould stated that a new union depot
would be commenced and completed
as 0 as possible, as soon as it is
definitely determined by what route
and in what manner the Iron Noun
tain Road can have unobstructed ac-
cess to the city.
The new depot is to cover the ground
occupied by the buildings now in use
and a good deal more, and is to be one
of the largest and finest in the coun-
try. Work will begin as soon as mu-
nicipal legislation has settled the ques-
ton about the Iron Mountain road.
Regarding the Wabash road, Mr..
Gould sard that while he was largely
interested in the stock and bonds of
that company and approved the plan
of reorganization, he would not be a
member of the directory. Mr.. Joy, he
said, would be the President, notwith-
standing the disinclination Of that
gentleman to accept the position, and
Col. A. A. Talmage will continue to
be General Manager and will hold a
high executive position in the com
pany.
Touching the general outlook for
railways, the gentleman said: 81 have
confidence in the ability of the trunk
line presidents to hold rates up to a
paying basis, and 1 feel that the rail-
way, as we'll as the commercial
interests of the whole country, are
upon a threshold of a season of great
prosperity"
The Texas pool he expects to work
great benefit to the Texas roads. and
also to largely increase the volume Of
general business in that State.
He deprecates labor strikes on rail-
roads, and did not believe there would
ever he any if both sides could fully
realize the intimate relations they hold
to each other.
He expressed a strong desire that
the employees on his roads should pur-
chase houses for themselves along the
line, and would be glad to know that
every employe of the Missouri Pacific
system was the owner of some stock
Of the company. This would give
them all a personal interest in the
property, and every man would do his
best to increase the earning power.
There would then be no labor problem
to solve.
Mr.. Gould expressed decided oppo-
sition to a confederation Of railroads,
and said that the proposition was alb
surd.
What we want in this country, he
said, is just what we have got-sharp
competition. But the competition
should BIZ confined to soliciting busl-
ness on an agreed basis Of traffic tariffs.
He was also opposed to national
legislation for railroads, believing that
the government would utterly fail If
it undertook to do what competition
and common sense alone could accom-
plish.

What the Cleveland Leader VIII
Saw.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 13-The
Leader will say tomorrow morning
that the whole State Republican ticket
is elected by from $4,000 to $4,000
plurality. The legislature will be
Republican on joint ballot with a good
working majority in both houses. The
vote was heavy and the representa-
tives OF the western reserve came out
in full force, every one feeling it a
duty to do all in his power to bring
the country back to Republican rule.
This result will secure the election Of
a Republican United States senator
and the early enactment Of a law
regulating the liquor traffic, another
very probable result of the election
will be to eliminate the third party
Prohibition-from Ohio politics.

fine ornamental trees on the streets
were uprooted and anumber of build
ings in process Of construction were
damaged. A portion of the bridge
over the northwest branch Of the Po-

large sea lion on the city side escaped,
its pen having been destroyed. The
creature was seen this morning going
down the Chesapeake bay.
