Halstead and the Force Bill.

Since Mr.. IIalstead, immediately
after the election of Harrison, began
writing his now famous golden
bridge" editorials in the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette he has buen un-
wavering and unfaltering in persuit
of the statesmanlike policy he then
pointed out.
His Brooklyn newspaper vigorously
opposed the Lodge bill. He declares it
to be"an attempt to go back to the poll
CIV that Grant abandoned and Grant is
dead, and the army is not on the war
footing and the public opinion that
in the judgment of Grant would not
sustain him in peremptory measures
and the continuance of the war OF
races" "has not been strengthened by
waiting until the political revolutions
in the Black Belt States is completely
accomplished" Furthermore" says
I Mr.. Halstead, 1--WE are absolutely OPP
: posed to the assumption OF that sys-
, tenn of vain slaughter, the sacrifice OF
innocent black men to help the North
, ern politician turn q pretty phrase
t and round out puerrile affectation
) OF Inconsistency"
The New York Herald, quoting Mr.
8 Halstead, applauds him and takes the
: logical position that the force bill "is
$ an ther developement OF the recent
political tendencies to govern every

Deafness Can't be Cured

By local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deal
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out Of ten are caused BY
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar
for any case of deafness (caused b.
Catarrh) that we can not cure by tax
ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send TO

NDIsPUTABLE FACTS.
Mr.. Hewltt's Statements as to the
Abundance of Southern
Iron Ores.

THE COMET invites attention to the
following statements made by Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, probably the high
est authority in the United States ac-
cording to the views of English Iron
makers, in his spee1h before the Iron
and Steel Institute of Great Britain.
Mr. Hewett, referring to the enor-
nous amount of iron that would be
required within ten years said;
The South is practically a virgin
country, in which the productions Of
iron ore is in its infancy; but the de.
velopment is already phenomenal,
and even il the other regions ceased
producing ore, the Southern States
could readily supply the deficiency,
The ores Of Tennessee and Ala
bams extend in an unbroken vein for
hundreds of miles along the hanks of
the great Appalachian coal field.
Referring to steel-making, he said
1t will doubtless excite surprise
in the minds OF our visitors to find
that The basic process has made no
progress in this country. The delay
has been due partly to the recent de-
velopment OF the Southern ores, and
partly to the illiberal spirit in which
the basic patents have been managed.
But it will not longer be possiable to
arrest the manifold destiny OF the
South, which is now erecting a large
number Of furnaces, the product Of
which must find a market through
the basic process.
Two weeks earlier Mr., Hewitt made
a statement in which he said
In Carolina there are vast bodies
OF magnetites, and if not very near to
the coal at present, railways are in
course Of construction which will
bring them within 60 miles of the best
coal in the world. / have made a
calculation, and believe that coal
and iron can be brought together
to make pig iron for Bessemer steel
not exceeding $40 ton.

ALevel Head,

During the .ate strike on the New
York Central Railroad the militia
we're ordered to be in readiness in case
of riot, but they were n ot called out.
In an interview Gov. Hill said they
were not to be called upon except in
case OF an emergency. The emmer
gency had not arisen therefore, they
would not be ordered out. He remark
ed that this was the first great strike
with which he had had experience,
and he did not propose to lose his
head the only point at which there
had then been serious trouble was at
Syracuse, and there the deputy sheriff
had lost his head and precipitated an
encounter,
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous actions ct va
rious points along the road, but the
civil authorities were able to cope with
it without calling on the militia.
The test of a mans real ability
comes when an emergency arises
which makes hasty call on his good
judgement and discretion. The man
who retains his presence OF mind
maintains his equipoise and exercises
sound discretion at such critical juno
lures, is to be relied on and will be put
to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay
! ing qualities which do not falter il

sick at the time and said that he was
not able to make speech, but agreed
that he would write a letter. AS soon
as he was able to travel he went to
Morristown, where he again met Mr..
Greene. From there on Friday, the
10Th day OF August he s ent telegram
to the managers OF the anti-prohibi-
ton campaign at Nashville, or one oil
them, which was in substance as fol-
lows: "Has the New York exchange
been sent? If not, send IN care of
Hattie House, Knoxville" The New
York exchange was not sent, the pur.
chasers no doubt deciding that they
would trfle no longer with their chat
tel so they sent him personal check
payable to order ms iead, which he
coulc not cash without his personal
autograph, and which they would
have returned to them to be held as
evidence OF the payment Of the pur-
chase money. This check was proba-
bly, part or the whole of the second
payment in the transaction.

doubtless waiting for his check. He
left the next morning and went to
Nashville While there he wrote the
lette: purporting to have been writ
ten from Morristown. 1t was not
written at Morristown, but at Nashville
as he very well knows. The letter
was published in the National Review
last Saturday, and laJ ge number OF
