That Memphis BrIdpe.

In another column we print letter from
Capt. John Cowden, an old and expe-
rienced Mississippi river steamboatmln,
On the proposed bridge at Memphis. Capt.
Cowden was on the Mississippi river when
Tie article he indorses was printed, and
conversed with numbers of Intelligent
steamboat men, who all agreed with the
conclusions Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,.
He informs us that the top OF the pilot
house and the smoke stacks OF the steam
boat Natchez are more than ninety feet
from the water line and the jack staff is
one hundred and ten feet.
There are many other large steamboat
on the river with about the same height
above the water, and the bill passed by the
House only provides for G5 feet elevation
of the bridge above the high water mail,.
The senate committee should amend the
bill on the plan proposed by Capt. Gov.
den and repeal the old charter. II Is i'm.
possible to conceive how any senator from
the valley OF the Mississippi can afford to
do otherwise.

iority in the Senate is desirous Of legIsla-
ting in the interests Of the people, and lie
working lndustrlously to that end.
This puts the Democrats In quandary,
and they have been industriously seeking a
method Of escape. This, they think, has
been discovered in clause Of section g.
article 2, Of the constitution Of the United
States, which, In defining the powers OF the
President as to Congress, says "He may
on extraordinary occasions, convene both
Houses or either Of them, and in case of
disagreement b6twoeH them With respect to
tie time Of adjournment, he may adjourn
them to Such time as he shall think proper"
1t is now proposed to have tue approprIa.
tion billspassed at as early day aspossible,
put them in the Senate, and let the Demo-
Gratis of that body urge them through as
rapidly as possible, and Immediately upon
their passage have the House pass resolu-
tion to adjourn at an early day, regardless
OF the condition OF legislation. This reso-
luton It is believed the Senate, the Repub.
licans In which desire to do something for
the good of the country, will not agree to.
Then the President will be called on to
exercise his constitutional power aud ad-
iourn Congress until the second week In
November.
This is the little confidence game which
the Democratic leaders 10 the House are
working up. 1t is bunco steerer's idea In
politics, and II will not win.

The Democratic uunco CANA

The Democratic majority in the House
does not want any legislation at the pres
ent session of Congress. 1t is afraid to
pass any affirmative legislation on any sub
leet 1t dare not pass a tariff bill, It's
leaders will not permit the repeal of the
revenue law, and there are other reasons
why short session is desired.
One Of these is the Blair educational BIN.
1t is well known that II the session ia
long Que some opportunity Will be forced by
the friends Of that measure, who are In
large majOrlty, to take up and pass the
Blair bill. This is true also of the bin to
repeal the tobacco tax, the one to remove
the tax on brandy, and possibly OF the one
to do away with the entire internal revenue
system. The Democratic leaders want
neither OF these bills presented to the
President.
They believe President Cleveland would
veto all or any Of these bills presented to
him. Hence their anxiety to prevent their
passage and their desire to shorten the
session, as all OF them think these vetoes
would be fatal.
On the other hand, the Republican ma.

The one feature OF Mr.. Blaine's letter OF
deelinatlon which sends peculiar pang to
the Democratic heart Is the clear and truth.
fu way in which he presents the improved
prospects OF the Republican party as COM
pared with the prospect at the opening of
1854. Mr.. Blaine is pleased to congratulate
bis friends on the almost absolute certainty
OF their return to power.
In the year 1888 the Democrats had full
possession OF Michigan, Ohio, New York,
and New Jersey. They had regained pos
session Inv irginia. They still held undis-
puted sway in West Virginia. They even
had the governorship 10 Pennsylvania, and
In general they had made large gains, SO
that in the aggregate vote of the northern
states they cast a majority, and the south
was very solid.
In the corresponding year. 1887, pre-
ceding presidential election, the Republi.
cans held full possession OF Michigan and
Ohio. They developed clear maioritles 10
Indiana and New Jersey for the first time
In many years. They made handsome
gains In New York, and reduced the Demo-
cratic majority in West Virginia below one
thousand. They had q majority OF the
popular vote In Virginia. Pennsylvania re-
turned to its normal Republication. There
were apparent several fractures In the solid
south, and the aggregate vote of the north
ern states showed Republican majority of
about one hundred thousand as against a
minority before.
Based upon these changes, Mr.. Blaine
Justly concludes that the Republican pros
pect is brilliant. But his oifense In the
Democratic view lay In taking advantage
OF letter, which was sure to be printed by
every newspaper in the country to present
the facts which Democratic newspapers had
so successfully concealed or denied. With
his usual adroitness, Mr.. Blaine forced the
Democrats TO print the truth, aud thereby
deal damaging blow at their own inflated
reelection boom, Ia his political life he
has given the Democracy many heartaches,
but never one which exceeds for severity
The one in which he bids them goodbye as
leader OF the opposing forces.
and the Democratic managers do not and
VIII not felicitate themselves that this ID his
last or severest cut either. Another good
stout Republican will be elected President,
but no other single individual will do SO
much to promote his election as Mr.. Blaine
viii, and the knowledge of this is what
inspires anew the abuse Of the Mugwumpo.

TnE seed of the cotton plant is proving to
be almost as valuable as the lint. This re-
suit ls obtained by the invention OF the Craw-
ford cleaner. That machine will enable
the cotton grower to get the full value of
the seed, as he does now of the lint. Under
present processes cotton seed is not worth
to the grower more than SO or IS per ton,
and the oil manufacturers make only
reasonable profit after paying that price.
With the Crawford cleaner the seed will be
worth from $25 to $50 per ton, and will
give the. oil mill much larger profit than
is made now. BY the erection OF small
mills in each neighborhood the cotton
growers can realize the entire profit from
the manufacture Of their cotton seed, and
thus largely increase their incomes. Moth
Ing Of greater value than the Crawford
cleaner to the country has been invented
since Whitney first made the cotton gin.

A Dark and Damnable Conspiracy.

One startling incident Of the harmonious
Democratic canvass for President has been
established An atroclous conspiracy
against MIR. Cleveland is fully organized
and threatening untimely slaughter The
organs Of the Mugwumpocrati free trade
wing fully aflilm IL, and they always tell
the truth when 1t will pay bigger dividend
than the opposite course.
While the plot Is hot given iu detail, It
is generally described in the frantic
alarums of the organic boomers. Tne
motto that inspires the unholy alliance Is,
Death TO Grover Cleveland as q second
term aspirant. The manner OF his death
depends on the instrument that happens TO
be near at the appointed time OF the taking
OH ana upon the conspirator who chances
to be watching his opportunity. The chief
OF this conspiracy is one David B. Hill, for
short, "Dave," since he melted this ne.
farious plot. His chief lieutenant is one
Samuel j. Randall, now Sam" in the
Mugwumpocratlc parlance. It is darily
hinted that Boss Gormau aud his man
Higgins are egging on the murder
ous design, and 1t is very well known
that William II. Barnum-he of the seven
mules notoriety-is more than willing to
have the deed committed, and with torture
at that. Fellows Of minor Importance In
New Jersey and in Massachusetts, and in
Indiana are suspected Of sharpening their
warlike toothpicks and charging their shot
guns for select game. In all quarters sus-
picious characters, hot with rush to the
head of JefTersonianJ Jacksonian blood, are
rising up to get glimpse of the conspi-
racy's objective point, and hankering for
She scalps of all men who are better than
their party, naming no names.
We gather from the dark hints OF the New
York imitation OF the London Times, and
other English authorities, that the gang
have been organized from top to bottom.
But the knowing ones will not tell all they
know, Of course. They lie low, hoping
thereby to catch the bomb throwers, the
bushwhackers, the sluggers, and the other
Infamous characters who are lurking about
to get whack at the President they selected
short of four years ago. The most that the
horror stricken organs will allow the world
to know is that this Is most diabolical,
dastardly conspiracy against the vested
right OF Democratic President to be re-
elected, and that the inuescIibaoly con.
temptible monsters who concoct schemes
against bis sacredness ought to be gibbeted
and have their carcssses thrown to the
dogs.
This is dreadful picture OF unfraternity.
But It's chief moral seems to lie In the dan.
