Two sternwheel steamers are building
In Pittsburg for use In the nited states
OF Columbia. They are to run fourteen
miles an hour aud will be put in service
on the Msgdalenn aud Caucs rivers. rhey
are shipped by rail to New York; thence
BY the steamer to their destination. The
cost Of transportation almost equals the
first cost Of the boats, and will make
them very expensive by the time they
reach South America The first one
taken down, however, about eighteen
months ago, paid for itself inside Of Il
year, and the new ones are expected to
do still better.
The matter Of exchanging postal CARD
which have been spoiled in printing,
was briefly mentioned In the journal
recently, and appears to have attracted
considerable attention among the pub
fishers Of he State. There seems TO be
no reason why such an ext hange should
not be made. Postal cards cost the Gov
ernment about fifty cents per thousand
Uuibr the old system when a printer,
soilcd, spoiled OF used more cards than
~,ro nev-ss"ry "a job, he had the
privilege Of taking them TO the postofllce
aud receiving four new cards for every
Ave returned. II will be seen that one card
out OF i've, lost by the publisher, consid-
erably more than reimbursed the Gov
ernment for all expense incurred In such
exchange. The old avstem was right

erumeot Of checks aud balances Rules
were Intended FOR Congress not only to
facilitate business, but to protect the

Of the government till now they had

what constitute the rights of the minor

We do not propose that the Republican
majority shsll pass single measure with
our consent For INSTANCE, you eau de
pend upon IL that the rules of the House
will not be changed in an, essential I, AZURE
by the Republican majority. We will not
permit them TO be changed, as il is desired
by MIR. Reed, In any particular feature.
Nor will we permit any of the proposed
legislation looking to a control by Congress
Of the elections, for we see plainly what
the purpose of that 10. The same can be
said of the coute sted seat cases that will
come up before Congress We do not pro-
pOse to let the Republican majority be
further increased ab libitum. throwing out
Democratic members, as seems to be the
purpose In other words. We propose to
exercise the control of the House Just a.

The Dangers Of IoliteGr--
GNen. Iori. Tritunr.


Ex-Governor and Representative NC
Creary, Of Kentucky, is noted lor his
politencSs. On one occasion he WAS the
guest of friend III the country. WhcE
he sat down to supper the lady Of til"
house asked him wh"tlcr Ii" wished
coilrc or tea. Tie Governor replied:
"Cotlee, if YOU please, !nadan!.
His fOndncSS for hot coffee is known
to his friends, who can we'll imagine
his feelings when the hostess informed
him that the cook had neglected t"
warm the coffee for supper, and that
it was cold. Even this information OF
the cooks neglect did not affect the
Governors politencSs, and with a smile
he replied:
How fortunate, madam. DO YOU
know, madam, that I am so eccentric
as to prefer cold coffee, and do not care
for it in any other way. Iour cooks
neglect is good news to me-"
Tie relief Of the housrkccpcr can be
understood as she handed Governor
Mctreary the coffee, which iic slipped
with well-feigned pleasure.
The weather, the next day, was colo
and bracing. 1t was just such . day as
to make the heart of 4 coffee drinker
long for his tavorite drink. Governor
McCreary had forgotten the incident
Of the night before when he sat down
to breakfast. But fit had escaped his
memory, it had not that ht his hostess.
II have the coffee cold for YOU this
morning, Governor she said, sWectly.
"Iou see l remember that you said
you never liked it any other way.'
The smile on Governor McCreary's
face was hardly as angelic as it was the
night before, but he drank the cold
coffee without murmur. 1t was with
difficulty, however, that the other
guests restrained their laughter over
the unfortunate predicament in which
the Governor had placed himself by
his politeness.

She Wouldn't Take a Dare.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel.j
W. s. Davidson, travelling man
who lives in Indianapolis, was married
at Terre Haute Thursday in a rather
romantic manner. Stopping at the
same hotel was Miss Blanche Frost,
who travels for 4 st. Louis drug house.
She and Davidson had met few
months ago and had been correspond
iu- with each other. AS they were
walking along the street together Dav-
idson said he WAS willing to marry her.
She said she, too, was willing.
At this point in their courtShip they
boarded Il street car and attended a
pic,ic at Col!ett Park.
During the day the subject Of
marriage was not referred 20, but, at
evenin" an incident occurred which
propelled them both into the matri-
monlal current. Instead of getting Oft
at the hotel on their way back from
the park, they remained on the street
car until opposite the Court House.
Here they got off, and going in David
son dared Miss Frost to marry him.
The dare was accepted, and in a
very few minutes they had procured a
license and We're made man and wife
by Justice Felsenthal.
Mrs. Davidson will continue to sell
drugs until next Saturday morning,
when she will quit the real aud as
sumo the household reins. The bride,
handsome woman, was born
in Charleston, Ill.,, and is % years old.

IhnGn0 M0t thy are nat true, Int [
Mough 1t best to make them 50 as to
gire notoriety to hennorement. In that
7 have succeeded, and they are now at

Calling the attention Of the audience
to this statement particularly, Col.
Earle turned to Capt. Tiliman and
asked if it was true.
There was no mistaking Capt. Till
mans reply. Raising his voice, SO that
it could be heard to the confines Of the
crowd, he said: at is falsehood from
beginning to end, every word Of it."
Col. Earle: "He says he did not say
it. He throws himself on the other
horn of the dilemma. DO you believe
that the Legislators were tickled?"
Tillman: "I told you how they
were.n
Col. Earle: "Do you believe that the
uaNs Ol duulIloll, ulN lslou anu sl4euS0
are not overo?n
Tillman: II believe there was some
rascality about that phosphate conf
mission"
Col. Earle: II can only say never
expected to see Democrat come before
the people as candidate and declare
the party TO be corrupt. l say again if
these charges were true and believed
them would sever my allegiance to
the Democratic party"
Tillman: "Where would you go: to
the Niger"
Col. Earle: II would find a better
party or be with none at all. 1t IS
better that we should have negro than
white rule so corrupt as your words i'm
ply. Ifthey are true thereis no difference
between negro and white rule, but |
look you people in the face, and say
that they are not true; can't be proved,

The Outlook for Cotton Baggins.
ATLANTA Journal.


Georgia's cotton will be covered with
cotton bagging this year.
The prospect is brighter this year
than last for the farmers winning in
their fight against the jute trust.
They won last year. The war on jute
brought the price far below trust
figures, and this season jute is being
offered at still greater reduction IN
prices.
Besides this very great percentage
OF the crop was covered with cotton,
increasing consumption and demons
trating that cotton is king and that the
farmers have it in their power to defeat
the wiles of the jute trust.
And then the farmers say that the
cotton bagging movement helped the
farmers financially.
At present there are five mills IN
Georgia manufacturing cotton bagging.
There will probably be more. Two
mills ut Augusta, one at Dalton, one at
West Point and one at Rosedale are
turning out the bagging to cover the
cotton crop of the State. If these can
not make it fast enough other mills
will be started in the manufacture of
it.
Already ten thousand yards of cotton
bagging has been shipped to Southern
Georgia for the early crop. As soon as
the crop blooms, and the demand for
bagging begins, the bagging will be
ready. Every bale Of Georgia cotton
will be covered with cotton this year
Secretary Burks says that the far
mers will use cotton bagging much
more this year than last, and that
they will cover nearly if not all OF the
crop with it.

G!impses of the Sultan's Treasures
[E'rom the Philadelphia Record. ]

From the Philadelphia Record.
In letter from Bucharest, under
date of June IS, Col. a. Loudon
Snowde;:, United Minister to Greece,
Servia, and Roumania, gives the follow
ing account of an experience in the
far East:
"On my way here l stopped over in
Constantinople for Il few days, visiting
the objects of interest in that remark
able city. The Sultan designated all
aide-de-campFlwho conducted us to
such places of especial interest as the
general visitor is not expected or per-
mitted to see. The treasure house OF
the Sultan, which contains the accum-
ulations Of centuries, is simply indes-
criLable. Here are stored diamonds,
emeralds, pearls, and other precious
stones, such as exist in no other place
in the world, and in quantities beyond
calculation as to value. The palaces Oh
the Bosphorus are marvels of beauty
and splendor."
