A WONDERFUL MACHINE.
The Treatment OF Magnetic Ores by n
Purely Automatic Process.

The Treatment of Magnetic Ores by n
Purely Automatic Process.
In connection with the augmentation
of brown or red hematite ores, which
has been fully explained in previous
issue of this paper, there has just been
put on the market Il remarkable ma
chine for separating the magnetic iron
from the tailings. There are already
two machines for this process which are
reasonably well known, but both of
them depend upon current from Il
dynamo for their magnets, and as Il
dynamic current constantly varies in
voltage and in regard to other electrical
units the product is unequal.
The new machine requires neither
current or power, 1t consists of bat
terry of permanent horseshoe magnets.
their poles placed side by side until a
continuous bar about four feet long is
formed. Over these is hopper which
allows veil OF the crushed and magnet
lied ore of the same width as the mag
netic bars to fall in front of them in Il
continuous stream. This rail OF ore
passes about one-half an inch from the
ends of the magnets, and as it falls be-
fore them the PARTICLES of magnetized
iron arc attracted to them until a heavy
enough armature to fall by it's own
weight is formed, and this iron that falls
is caught by the lip of a chute that pro-
jects onc-fourth of an inch beyond the
ends of the magnets, and is consequent
ly also one-fourth of an inch from the
falling veil of ore. This process is re-
peated as the ore falls by six tralleries
of magnets, all arranged in the same
manner as the first series, and by the
time it has reached the bottom of the
machine, less than one-tenth of one per
cent. of iron is left in the trailings. and
the iron ore collected by the chutcs,
under chemical analysis, shows only a
very small fraction of one per cent. OF
impurities that can be separated by
either the gravity or MASKING process.
At recent exhibit of this machine in
Brooklyn, before n number of members
of the Iron and Steel Institute. and at
which the writer was present. over Il
ton of magnetic iron was separated from
black sand ore i'll fourteen minutes by
one machine. The only attention its
separation required was man to keep
the hopper at the top full and two others
to dispose of the ore and tailings as they
came out at the bottom. OF course all
this could be done by purely mechanical
means and the machine made perfectly
automatic.

freely, the Democrats are In major

SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1850.
Let Us reason Together.

Every attempt to claim that the
suppression OF the Republican vote
in the South Is wrong done to
every voter outside of that section Is
Invariably met with the charge that
the only reason for raising this ques-
tion is desire to prolong the old
war issues and promote bitterness
between the North and the South.
Let US reduce the argument to fig
ures.
According to the Census of 1880,
South Carolina had a colored pnpu.
lation of 604, 1892, and a white popu.
lation of 39l Jos. In the apportion-
ment under this enumeration the
state was given seven members of the
House of Representatives, four for
the coIored population and 8 for the
white population. But by suppress
ing the colored majority the Dem:
Ocrats In South Carolina are able to
elect to Congress not only tine Rep
resentatives given on account of their
own members, but also the Represent
atives given on account of the colored
population. 1t follows that 391. 105
people in South Carolina have the
same power in national politics that
995, 437 people have in any State in
the North. Or, in other words,
Democratic free.trader in South Caro-
lima, by going TO the polls and cast
ing one ballot. can exert two.and.one.
seventh times as much influence In
the election of a President and in
saying what the revenue policy Of
this country shall be as Republican
Protectionist in Pennsylvania.
There is the question: and no
shrieks about bloody shirt politics
and charges Of stirring up sectional
strife will obscure it. It would be
just as much a wrong if it occurred in
an Eastern, a Western or Pacific
State instead of in Southern State,
And it is wrong which cannot be
submitted to any longer. South Car.
DINA would not permit another State
to deprive her in this way of her
righttul influence in Congress and In
the Electoral College. Is it too much
to ask that she have an equal delicacy
about depriying other States of their
just power in the Government ? -

A Constitutional Measure.

Mr.. William L. Wilson, the schol-
arly and distinguished representative
in Congress from the Second district.
has evidently forgotten that the doc.
trine of States Rights. as advocated
by the ultraists in the Democratic
party, had the life shot out of it a
quarter of a century ago. In an in.
terview upon the subject of the pro-
posed Federal election law. as advo-
Gated by Speaker Reed in his Pitts
burgh speech, Mr.. Wilson said:
1.-THE trainers of the Constitution
had no idea that at any future time
any party would have the audacity
to propose such law. The Repub-
lican idea ia to take from the hands
of the States the machinery of elec-
ton. This is opposed to the spirit of
the Constitution. The States have
not only the right to conduct the
election of their representatives in
Congress, but haye the right to decide
whether their candidates are elected.
The general Govern ment has, In my
opinion. no right to interfere in such
matters"
Mr.. Wilson knows as we'll as any
body that the Constitution of the
United States gives the general gov
eminent "the right to interfere in
such matters" when it thinks necessi-
ty requires that itshould exercise the
right. Section of Article of the
Constitution is as follows:
1.-THE times. places and manner of
holding elections for Senators and
Representatives shall be prescribed
in each State by the Legislature
thereof; but the Congress may at any
time 6y Lat0 make or alter such reg,ttt1,
tons. except as to the places of choos.

It will be seen that Congress has
clearly the right to regulate the elec-
tons for Congressman. and insure an
honest vote and fair count when
the States themselves fail to guaran.
tee honest elections. That is precise
ly the present situation, and there is
no sinister motive behind the propos-
ed federal election bill. 1t simply
means that Congress intends to guar
antee that every voter shall enjoy
his constitutional rights, of which he
is deprived in many of the Southern
States; that every qualified voter
shall be allowed to cast his ballot as
