Protest Against the Elections Bill.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Herald of the Sd, furnishes
the following paragraph, which harmo-
nizes with the sentiment of the most
intelligent and conservative of the Re-
publicans of the South. 1t emphasizes
what we have said, that the enactment
of the Lodge bill into law would be a
fatal mistake, as it would relate to the
Republicans of the South as we'll as of
the nation:
Northern men who have gone South
of late years and invested their capital
in business enterprises there are begin
ming to protest against the possible pas
sage of the force bill. Yesterday Sena-
tor Davis, of Minnesota, submitted
memorial signed by II former residents
of Wankato, Mimi, now residing in
Florence, Ala, protesting in strong
terms against the Senate's adoption of
the measure. Among the signers are
George A. Clarke, late major of the
Fourth Minnesota Infantry, and C.
Smith, late lieutenant of the Twenty
third Michigan infantry.
The memorialists, after announcing
that they are engaged in business pur
suits in Florence and the immediate
vicinity, say that the passage of the bill
will result in injury to their business in
terests and to the peace and happiness
of their families, and serve to open the
old wounds that have been nearly heal
ed. They believe that the problem of
free ballot and fair count will solve
itself if left alone, and that the people
in their vicinity are loyal, honest and
true to the best interests of our govern
ment. The memorialists conclude by
asking Senator Davis to protest against
the bill, and if possible, influence his
Republican colleagues to take the same
action

A Happy Family.

Our Democratic friends in South Caro-
lima are not all at rest. There is blood
on the moon, if one is to judge of the
treatment received by and the epithets
thrown at the Farmers Alliance candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, Capt Benz. Tillman The
contest seems to have assumed the shape
of the people against the ring, the for
mer represented by Tillman, young
farmer, and the latter by Gen. Wade
Hampton. AS indicating the spirit of
the campaign we copy the following:
A special to the Press from Charleston,
S. c., says that the campaign in that
State becomes more bitter and more
personal every day. The meeting at
Hampton Courthouse, the home of State
Senator Moore, whom Tillman had
charged with perjury in voting in the
Senate, yesterday, was one of PERSONAL
ties and Interruptions instead of issues
Farmer Tillman was the speaker
The friends of Moore asked Tillman to
name those he charged with perjury.
He did SO, and as soon as he had uttered
the name Moore Mr. A. P. Youmans
made his way to the front and said in a
ringing voice with clinched fists and
glowing eyes: Captain Tillman, you
are liar, black liar! Prove it on him.
We rammed the lie down your dirty
throat at Ridgeway. You lied then and
and you lie now and you know it.''
Others yelled out to Tillman that he
was liar. Then there was rush for
Youmans His coat was caught; men
caught hold of each other and for some
time trouble was imminent Tillman's
followers rushed him to the front and
dared any one to touch him. Pande-
monium reigned for some time. At last
things quieted down and the speeches
were continued amid frequent Interrupt
tiOns.

Railroads IN the South.

In Poor's Railroad Manual the rail
road mileage of the country is given in
eight groups, and the territory formerly
occupied by Virginia, which embraces
Virginia and West Virginia, is placed
in the South Atlantic group, which alt o
includes North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. In the introduce
tian to the Manual, recently issued, the
railroad statistics from 1885 to 1889 are
given, and while they are interesting,
they also afford an opportunity of learn
ing at glance the progress made in
railroad construction during any given
period. OF the six States named, but
two of them had railroads in 1835-South
Carolina led with 1877 miles and Virginia
had SO miles. Five years later Georgia
took the lead, which she maintained
until 1860, when Virginia forged to the
front. The partition of the Old State
during the war caused Virginia to drop
behind in the showing made in 1870, but
reckoning Virginia and West Virginia
as one in territory las in 1900 Virginia
is still in the lead. Georgia has at the
present time 4,268 miles of road, while
Virginia has 5000 miles and West Vir-
ginia 1,32S-total in the two States 1880
miles 1863 miles more than in Georgia
In the entire South Atlantic group there
has been great activity in railroad con-
struction during the past nine years, and
with tranquil government, the work

but there is not, and so he votes for the Bour-

an assured thing, and the vote will be counted

STRUGGLE FOR DELEGATES !
What is known as the Preliminary State Cont
vention Will be held on August ID. At the outset
of this remarkable campaign the Farmers Ali
ance appealed to the Democratic State Commits
tee TO call for State primary to make a State
ticket. The Tillmanites feared that they would
be cheated in State convention. The State
Committee declined to do SO. In the meantime
the alliance went on capturing county delega-
ton after county delegation. until they saw that
they. could control the State Convention by two
thirds.
The State Committee composed of Bourbons.
discovered the same fact about the same time
and decided for their own safety to call State
primary. The alliance is as vigorously opposed
to this now as it was formerly in favor of it. and
the preliminary State Convention will settleit
or rather the Tilmanites viii settle it, for tfeT
are going to run the convention on August 13if
it has to be done at the muZze of a WinchestT

Metal Ties.

Liz 4NOW L OIh TTtSS T6c6uUly gave a SroaG OGl
of space to the subject of metal ties. and tie
laying of all experimental section on the id
Delaware and Hudson road has called renewtd
attention to the subject.
"a good deal has been said about the SO -caIhd
deadly car stove" said Civil Engineer McGiehn
to the Tribune correspondent, "but unless In
case of collision, there can be no deadly ar
stove with the metal tie, for with the steel lie
there can be no such thing as track-spreadilg
The steel ties are SO bolted and clamped to he
rails that the whole becomes one immoyabie
structure. Wooden ties must give way to meal
If for no other reason than that it is almost an
lmposs1b11ty to secure frst-class wooden les
any longer; the demand exceeds the supply
And, besides, metal ties will last four or six
times as long as the others, and in the end yill
be great saving in the maintenance of wE.',
'Of what have seen of them-and these hre
the first I've ever laid-they are superior to

besides, they are SO easily laid. and make suh

Said General Manager Spencer;
Twenty three thousand trains have beenrun
over the standard metal ties on the Chicagoand
Western Indiana road since October last, and
they have needed no attention whatever. Be-
sides giving safe, permanent way, it is esti-
mated that the saving in maintenance ofway
account will be at least fifty per cent
In referring to matter pertinent to the sub
Ject, General Manager Spencer said:
IF it is proper for the Government totest
boilers and prohibit the use of any that ar. not
adequate for the purpose intended, why is t no.
proper and within their province to have the
rails on the railways of the country subjected
to a pressure test between the rail heads sdthat
the public may know if the track is safe hfore
it is brought out by horrible accident? here
are thousands OF miles of track in the United
States that are in such condition that tAerails
are iisbie to spread at anymoment, and scarcely
a week passes Without some accident from this
cause being recorded"
How about timber?"
s1There are now about 425OOOOOO woode1 ties
in USE and it requires about 1OO,OOO,OOO tbs per
year to renew the average yearly wear-ott and
equip new tracks. Statistics show that what
were called a few years ago, the great timber
belts of the United States and Canada are being

SENSIBLE MILLERS.
They Accede at Once to the Coop
ers' Proposition.


As a result of the c0Opers' meeting it
is understood that the $50 coopers of
this city will all join the union. The
organizers have been laboring to this
end for some months, with but very lit
tie success. For some time the bust
ness has been poor. and they have been
receiving meager wages, many OF them
being out of work, and some of those
that were not being almost at the verge
of suffering. At a meeting held some
time ago a committee was appointed to
confer with the milers for the purpose
of in some manner improving the mar
ket for barrels.
The committee called upon the millers
with some miSgivings, and were not a
little surprised at the reception given
them. Almost without any argument
they agreed to a raise in the price of
barrels, provided only that certain
schedule of prices be agreed to ana adj
hered to for specified time. Of course
the committee agreed to this at once,
and departed much pleased with the re-
ceptiOn given, AT the last meeting the
report of the committee was presented,
and as result it is expected that all the
Workmen VIII join As soon as this is
done meeting will be called and a
schedule Of prices fixed by the union.
There is feeling of general relief
among cOopers over the outlook, and it
is hoped that the condition of this class
of labor will be much benefited by the
prompt action of the millers.
