FIGHTING FOR A SENATORIAL PRIZE
MINISTER JARVIS WILL CONTEND AGAINST THE
"GRHArrsr EFFORT" OF SENATOR RANSOM.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA tSpeciaD. -Its understood
that Thomas j. jarvis United States Minister 10
Brazil will in few days tender his resignation
and return home to run against Senator Ransom
for the Senate. The county conven tions have al
ready been called IN North Carolina. and attempts
will he made by each candidate to catch these et
the very outset. Mr. Jarvis IT SAID. insists that
the place he now holds conferred upon him at
the wish of his State. and that it was
not q personal favor at the hands of Sen

the present Senator Is being developed resting
largely on personal grounds. Aside from TINS

PROTECTION IDEAS IN THE SOUTH.
WASHINGTON, Feb IA (SpeciaD Congressman
Kelley has received the following interesting letter
which throws additional light upon the strong
protection feeling daily gaining ground In the
South:
Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. o. 1888.
To the Hon. William ID. Kelley.
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter OF the Sd
instant | take leave to mail you oday copy of
The Engineering and Mining Journal 81 Janu-
airy containing an article Of mine on the Tennes-
coal fields and the iron belts Of Tennessee and
North Carolina with a map Of the coal field. i
hope you may find time to look it With
such a region as this to develop the ansurdity Of
worrying about a foreign trade is apparent Our
railroad lines are longer than Englands lines on
seas. That her flag floats in every sea and every
port is only proof that she has to hunt every
corner Of the earth for exchanges TO keep her
population fed and clothed. We would be just as
well off for the next twenty years if ships were
unknown There is no other country so rich in
variety and abundance Of natural wealth end adj
advantages for their profitable exchange as our
own; no other people so well disposed and able TO
whatever will minister TO their comfort and
welfare. Therefore, having the best stock and the
best customers within our borders we have only to
90 on and develop our wealth symmetrlcally and
solidly to lay foundation for trade and pros
perty as great as human effort can achieve. and
beyond comparison with other peoples or other
times: and the current seeks the deepest and
largest channel, when we shall get under proper
Roadway the trade Of the world will inevitably,
necessarily dOw to us. Yours truly,
GEORGE B. CowLMAN.
