What Some of Our Distinguished
Visitors Say.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct 20.-The
members of the British and German
iron and steel institutes have been here
two days. They have seen the histor-
ic battlefelds, have been shown most
OF the prominent industries, and were
given final reception tonight at the
Chamber of Comerce, after which they
left for Middlesborough, KY, where
they will stop tomorrow. They ex-
press themselves as simply amazed at
the vastness of the mineral resources
OF the South and favorable outlook for
tier development. Sir James Ketson,
President of the English society, said
at is possible to make iron in this
section as cheaply as in any part oil
the world"
Percy Gilchrist, one OF the founders
OF the basic steel process, says "The
ores here are peculiarly adapted fol
steel-making." VIM. Whitmell says
"Basic s.eel made from Tennssse iron
compares favorably with that made in
England" T. NJ. Percy, proprietor Of
the great Open Hearth Steel works in
Lancashire, says: "In the South
where phosphoric ores are so plentiful
and fuel cheap, with the basic process
this section will compete with any
part OF America in making steel"

Butler and Democracy.

An effort is being made by a few
Democrats in this congressional district
to have the Democratic party vote for
Butler ioI Congress. But they can
never succeed Butter is personally a
clever man and many Democrats like
him, but when it comes ~ endorsing
his bad record by voting for him for
Congress, that is another matter. No
Democrat can afford to vote for But
Ter. He has never served term in
Congress without doing something to
bring reproach and shame upon this
district.
In 1868, we believe, he was first
elected. He sold the cadetship the
following year, and Republican
Congress came within ten votes of ex-
polling him by two-thirds vote. The
vote to expell was 102 for and 6S
against. He was then unanimously
censured.
He was reelected in 1870, and in
December OF that year was indicted
in the Criminal Court of the District
OF Columbia for forging the name of
Rebecca j, Maddron across the back OF
pension check.
In 1872 he was again elected, and
during the session that followed he
aided Sugg Fort to rush through the
War Department a fraudulent claim
against the government for 1913 ,723 for
-four alleged to have been taken dur.
ing the war. The check for the money
was issued to Sugg Fort and endorsed
by r. r. Butler, who received the
money from the bank. For this he was
again indicted by the Criminal Court
OF the District of Columbia in 1875 for
conspiracy to defraud the govern.
ment." This indie ment remained
against him, and Mr.. Butler had to
give bond for his appearance from
time to time until October, 1878, more
than three years, when the case was
finally dismissed without trial.
In 1874 Judge Butler was over.
whelmingly defeated by Hon. VIM,
Mcfarland.
After staying out OF Congress for
ten years, in 1886 he was again elected
In 1887 ne was charged by the
Knoxville Journal, a Republican
newspaper, with having been bribed
by the liquor men to help de.
feat the prohibition amendment then
pending before the people OF Tennes
see. The Journal stated the amount
OF the bride, the amount paid down to
Butler and the amount to be paid
thereafter, and by whom paid. Ii the
Journal had been sued for libel il
would have had to prove the truth OIL
its charges, But etrsnge TO say, he
did not sue.

The Hon. Josiah Patterson's speech
accepting the Democratic nomination
for Congress in he Tenth District,
was a very bright one. One sentence,
in which he touched on the tariff, was
especially cpigrammatic. Said Mr..
Patterson "The country tributary to
Memphis cannot afford to sell 2,0OO,-
900 bales OF cotton annually at price
fixed in the open free markets Of the
world and then buy protected goods
with the money. II such crime can
