THE Carson Appeal tells, with some
signs of pride, of one of the compositors in
its office setting up letter the other day
from its repetition by photograph. 1t
is stated that the workman set matter !"
faster than he could have done had the
letter been in manuscript. That may have
been; but the average compositor would
not find the monograph an aid to compo-
sition. 1t is essential to the uses of the
little instrument that the machinery be
run at about the same speed in repeating
a message recorded upon its wax cylinder,
at which the recording instrument was
operated, and the original must be run as
fast as is necessary to take the record of
an ordinary dictation. That may be
assumed to be 10 or 120 words minute.
1t follows that the delivering machine
must repeat the dictation at about the
same speed. There never lived the COM
positor who could set even one word
second, from average manuscript or fro m
dictation. Therefore, in order to compose
from the photograph, the machine must
have been stopped, with the enunciation
of every half dozen or so of words. These
the composition had to keep in mind, of
course, and call for another batch of
" copy" as he set up the last word of the
previous delivery. To say that by such
method there can be more rapid work than
from good manuscript "copy," is an alb
surdity. Moreover, there would be, in
such a mode of composing, great liability
to err, because of the misunderstanding of
pronunciation. There can, therefore,
never be any general introduction of the
photograph into the printing Office.
Manuscript, clear and plain, will always
stand ahead of dictation of any kind for
the printer.

THERE is law in New Hampshire for
bidding the manufacture and sale, or Civ
ing away, of intoxicating liquors. When
the Pan-American delegates were enter
tanned at banquet in that State wines
and liquors were served in ginger beer
bottles and on the sly" that the officers
of the law might not be compelled to
knowledge of the violation of the law.
When the delegates were entertained in
Maine, prohibition State, wines were
openly served at the banquet, and no con-
cealment was made by the committee OF
the offending. That is to say, the man
ayers defed the law openly and fearlessly,
and trusted to the people to sustain them,
and they were prepared, in case of arrest,
to meet the results, whatever they might
be. There were no arrests, nor yet any
complaints of the action of the committee
With these two examples before us, we
prefer the course of the Maine men. 1t

ALLIANCE NOTES.

The Alliance cotton yard at Cleburne'
Tex, has handled over 10000 bales OF COL
ton this season.
The South Carolina Hood Swamp ALI
ance has resolved not to sell cotton seed
at any price to the oil mills.
President Adams, of the Alabama State
Alliance, is a member of the Alabama
legislature and takes leading position IN
the body.
The Alliance mill at Mckinney is one
of the most complete of the kind IN the
state. 1t has been accepted by the execu-
tive board, and is now ready for business
The State Alliance exchange of Missis-
sippi has been formally organized and To-
Gated at Winona, and thorough canvass
of the state for stock subscriptions has
been undertaken.
The Alliance was never in better work
ing condition than it is to-day. All the
soreheads and would-be leaders are drop
ping out and the bone and sinew is left.
The organization is bound to succeed.
State Lecturer Overstreet, of the ALI
snce, writes that he has organized a
strong Alliance in Las Animas courtyard

o. 81. Mallette is pushing the work over
ON the western slope of the mountains,
and Brother Overstreet is working slowly

INFAMOUS LIBEL on THE SOUTH.

An article from "The Evening Tribune"
of December 20, published in Lawrence,
Kan, is reproduced in this Issue OF The
STATESMAN, and is commended TO the care
ful attention of our readers. The polit-
ical feature of the interview can be al
lowed, perhaps, to pass as a matter Of
course. The bloody shirt has been waved
so long it is a tattered garment, and moth
ing new can be found about it, 1t is to
the business touches we would point com.
ment. Unfortunately, we think, the name
of this most prosperous company engaged
in the manufacture of Zoe machines is not
given. A firm doing such an exceedingly
large business annually in the south
must be very important concern,
and its name would be OF interest
to us. 1t would be, too, a matter OF special
interest to US, as it doubtless does the
largest "cash in advance" trade in the
south OF any other known northern house.
We cannot now give figures on this point,
but hazard our reputation that three or
four million dollars year "cash in ad-
vance" Is a business the very largest
houses in the north would make great
haste to capture. We would also like to
know the name of company employing
such talent as the Mr.. Don j. Rankin. A
man Of such ability must be a financial
drain even upon three or four million
dollars year "cash in advance" company.
The charges made by that gentle
man touching the business integrity
OF the south are simply infamous.
They are totally and absolutely false and
he knew it when he uttered them. The
charged prejudice against the northern
people is also wholly untrue. "There is
the same old prejudice, too, against work
and against anybody who does work. The
negro is doing the work of the south to-
day as he always has." Can anything
farther from the true state of the case be
put into languageH The cloven foot pro-
trudes in the final sentence where he says
at no distant time the negroes twill own
the south and control it because they will
be better educated and filter to rule than
the whites" Doesn't he tremble for the
safety of his company's three or four
millions year "oash in ADVANCE" when
such time arrives?
Now, it would seem, only two queries
remain: Does this company know Mr..
Rankin is being interviewed in this fash
ion, or, secondly, knowing it, do they ap-
prove his sentiments? Southern people
annually spending 30 much money with
that company it would seem surely would
like to have these questions settled. And
again, while great effort is now about to
be put forth to secure immigration to the
south, would it not be we'll for our immi
grafton bureau authorities to look up
northern companies whose agents are
slandering and trying to damn the south
even while soliciting our trade?

GENERAL BoULANGER AT WORK.

General Boulanger's manifesto issued to
the electors of the department of the
Seine has created q stir in France. Re-
publican journals and leaders who once
Landed him now denounce him and desig
nate his manifesto "a tissue of calumny
and brag" At this distance that mani
festo has about it strong smack of the
plausible; but whether it voices his real
views OF motives, or is true to the exact
facts in the case is another matter. It was
thought at the time General Boulsnger
lost his head and temper in parliament,
and later was wounded in a duel with a
civilian, that his prestige was gone, his In
fluence with the French people thing of
the past. But together with his re-
covery from the wound of that sword
thrust has he seemingly emerged from the
odium that surrounded him at the time
when he received IT, He has appealed to
the voters of different departments of his
country, and they have Endorsed him and
his principles. IL must now be granted
there is more about General Boulanger
than his personality, his presence, his
military record, and it must be the mis-
sion he is pressing. He charges that his
opponents fear universal suffrage, and he
declares his aim to be to secure "consti-
tutional revision by the most democratic
system-by constitutional assembly"
And he throws down broad gauge Of

The Road Question.
DUAL, Tex, January 4, 1889.

DUvAL, Tex, January 4, 1889.
To the Editor of the Statesman
have read Mr.. q. W. Walling's unique
contribution to the county road contro-
versy, and did I not know the writer to be
serious and philosophic gentleman,
would have been amused at what, on its
face, appears to be a satire on our present
road system.
Most of your readers will doubtless take
that view of his arguments, and think Mr..
Walling has helped forward the movement
for improved roads.
While this will be the result of Mr..
Walling's letter, 1 think it would be unjust
to charge him with trifing with this sub
Ject. Surprising as it may appear, am
satisfied Mr.. Walling writes in all serious
ness, and holds the novel, if unenviable,
position of being the only man in Texas
who Is contented with existing county
roads.
An old adage says: "What cau't be
cured must be endured" and he Is a wise
and happy man who can appreciate the
wisdom of endurance when the case ia in
durable. But Mr.. Walling's philosophy
goes beyond this. He is not only willing
TO endure the inconvenience and loss Incl.
dent to very bad roads, but argues for an
indefinite continuance of them. He
seems TO fairly revel in mud and kloat
over the bottomless quagmires he so

that the roads are good enough for the
farmees to haul, in 365 days, double the
amount of produce now raised. don't
uouot IL; but what an argument for bad
ROADS. We are told that the value of farms
would not be enhanced by better roads.

point Is as lonely as it is on the main
question, and could only find sympathy in
the breast of the untutored savage, whose

AN ALAMO MONUMENT.

Too long has a noble work been neg
lected and its performance now should be
our promptest care. No monumental re.
membrance arises from the scene of the
Alamo to hold the attention of the pres
ent and the future. Texas nor her peo-
pie have planted pledge of grateful ret
respect upon ground made holy by the
blood of those martyred for freedoms
cause. Yet some have determined this
disregard of our glorious history shall ex
ist no longer, and effort is now orystaliz-
ing to erect at the Alamo monument fit
to commemorate those stirring days. One
gentleman, Mr.. Sam Maverick, of San An
tonic, has contributed $4,000 toward this
end, and determined effort will be made
to collect about 100000 for a monu
mental fund. And to accomplish this the
Express makes good suggestion, that on
next San Jacinto day land what time so
fittingH) all along the line, from one
boundary of Texas to the other, contribu-
tions be gathered for this noble work.
The Express also calls to the aid of the
cause the ladies, ard suggests that between
now and the 21st of April they agitate,
without ceasing, this matter. We submit
the endsand plan to our people, with an
earnest endorsement of each, and bespeak
for our people an interest in that monu
ment proportionate to any like represen-
tation in the state.

LAST week Florida colored editor
wrote President-elect Harrison letter
