Cheap cotton and a big crop, which
are now looming before Southern plant
ers, offer very serious problem in
Southern agriculture. There is no
money in growing cotton at s cents a
pound, as the planters who sold late in
the season last year discovered, and
this year the crop year starts with cot
ton at this price.

The Ecumenical Conference Of the
Methodists in Washington has not been
so slow and staid as Washington peo-
pie expected it would be. The meet
ingsrhave been enlivened by eloquence,
wit and earnest disputation that have
made them far from tame. The for

They are all temperance men, but
some Of them give very liberal inter-

has been quite the usual thing for some
of the foreigners to stop in the barroom
at their hotel after an adjournment
and stand in a group, with their black
coats rubbing against the bar and their
white ties shining in the face of the
mixer Of strong drink while they sip
their toddy or beer in matter-of-fact
way. Their first appearance at the
bar Of the hotel where most Of them
stop completely unnerved the bar

ELKINs ON PATrIsON.

Steve Elkins, who is Blaine's right
hand nan and a great corruptionist, has
lately been interviewed about Presiden-
tial candidates. As q matter Of course
he is for Blaine on the Republican side.
Speaking of the Democratic prospects he
says: al have heard no man more men,
toned by prominent Democrats recently
in connection With the nomination for
President in 1892 than the handsome
young Governor Of Pennsylvania. If l
was q Democrat" continued Mr.. Elkins,
weighing his words and speaking with
much emphasis, al would rather have
Governor Psttison's chances for the
nomination than those Of any other nan
in the United States" There can be no
doubt that Governor Pattison presents
good Presidential timber. We prefer
him to either Hill OF Cleveland. But he
is wrongly located. He cannot carry
Pennsylvania on q national issue. A AN.
didate who can bring strength to the
ticket by carrying his own State is more
likely to be selected. But all the same
Pattison would make a magnificent Pres
ident. He is in the very prime of life,
and has q record for integrity in public
office scarcely shared by any other public
man in America. Pattison is an honest
man and stands for the people.

High tariff exploiters have frequently
pointed with pride" to the alleged man
ufscture Of bona 6de American tin
plate by CONGRESSMAN Neidringhaus'
"plant" rs . toy concern and its product
trifling, the fact did not dampen their
ardor or modify their uxultation. Now
comes along Mr.. Niedringhaus himself,
and declares that he must have foreign
workmen to enable him to manufacture
tin-plate, and will have them despite
the prohibition Of the Treasury Depart
ment, based upon the view that their
importation would be Q violation OF the
alien labor law. The net results of the
boosted efforts to establish another infant
industry at enormous cost to the con-
sumers Of tin-plate seems to be these :
First-Thst no tin-plate has yet been
made for commercial supply; second
That the tin-plate industry" depends
for it's creation upon the addition Of for
eign workmen TO the already crowded
works of home labor, and third-That
one Of the most vociferous of the high
tariff Republicans is forced into the po-
sition of defying the Secretary Of the
Treasury in order to make good his pro-
mise that the manufacture of tin.plate
would be established in this country.
American tin-plate comes high, but in
the opinion Of the tariff monopolists we
have it.-Baltimore Sun.

MCKINLEY OPENS THE CAM
RAIGN.

Major Mckinley opened the campaign
in Ohio . few days ago. speaking to sn
immense coneourse Of people. The tele-
graph reports him on the sil yer question
as follows:
1.-THE campaign formally opened in
Ohio to-day on the part Of the Republi-
can party" said Major Mckinley, will
be unusually interesting because Of the
importance to the State and to the coun.
try Of the results in November. II lie
fortunate that the issues are clearly de-
fined, that no misunderstanding or eva
sion can arise"
He then defined his position as outlined
in the Republican platform, and in clos
ing Mckinley said:
"What will the Democratic party do
on the silver question: The vast major.
ity Of the party are in favor Of q debased
dollar. Will they register their will. or
that Of Cleveland We must wait.
Meantime let Ohio record her verdict
against the degradation Of American la
Dor and the debssement Of the American
dollar"
There we have it. He talks about the
debased dollar and admits that the great
majority Of the Democratic party are for
free coinage. That is not what Mckinley
and his party in Ohio want. The John
Sherman idea permestes Republican sen.
timent everywhere in the East. When
9 man talks about honest dollars" and
"debased dollars" 1t is only another
way of expressing his hostility to silver.
Mckinley seems to quote the position OF
Cleveland s~pprovingly. He has . right
to do it, and at the same time he is justi.
fed in doing it. But Cleveland is not
with his party on the silver question, .
fact which Major Mckinley comedies in
the anu in which he draws the line.
We object to the whole Democratic party
being held responsible for the utterances
and acts of q single individual. Cleve-
land is the only thing that can be thrown
at us on this subject. Democrats have
furnished in Congress nine.tenths of all
the votes that have been given favorable
to silver. 1t is about time that the peo'
pie Of the mining States began to know
and appreciate their steadfast friends.
We do not know how the campaign is to
result in Ohio, but we most sincerely
hope that Mckinley and the entire Re
publican ticket, including John Sher-
mans legislative supporters, will be
showed under q mile deep because Of
their pronounced enmity to silver.

.,r,xa x,ru BALLOON.

To descend hundreds Of feet into the
earth in search Of the hidden treasures
Of mineral wealth supposed to be con-
cealed there is no uncommon thing. IN
fact is the natural way Of mining. ). Z.
Rees, however. promises to revoiutionize
the old fashioned way Of mining, n has
under consideration now q prospecting
tour by means Of a balloon. His scheme
as outlined to a Journal Miner man, Is
substantially as follows: Rich carbonstes
have been found in Cataract canyon in q
blanket ledge. While the ledge is acces.
sible at the upper end Of the canyon,
owing to the deep descent of the canyon
towards the Colorado river. when near
the latter point the ledge is located about
1900 feet above the bottom Of the stream,
and is consequently inaccessible by all
ordinary means. The question of reach
ing it by means Of ropes from the top OF
the almost perpendicular walls OF the
canyon have been discussed and pro.
nounced imprscticable. Mr.. Rees has
accordingly arranged with Kronaut
Howard to visit the canyon in October.
A large balloon will be inflated in the
bottom Of the canyon and secured by
ropes there to prevent it's escape, when
it is proposed to initiate it and make the
ascent to the point in the walls Of the
canyon where the ledge lie and a foothold
worked into it from the balloon.
After the work is fairly commenced
the balloon will be used only as q means
of conveying them to and from their
work. The experiment is a new and novel
one, and while to the ordinary mind it
looks impraeticable, Messrs. Rees and
Howard think it practicable and expect
to make their fortune there. They pro-
pose and will have it divided into seven
or eight compartments, any one Of which
when inflated being capable Of carrying
a mans weight. This will be done as o
preeaution in case of accident, as having
the air ship strike against the rocky
walls of the canyon the raising power Of
the balloon will not be totally destroyed.

ARTHUR TRIED RECIPROCITY.

1.-THE credit for the conception Of the
reciprocity idea should correctly be given
to President Arthur" says Editor Frank
Hstten of the Washington Post. ~.
w. Foster was sent to Spain by Arthur
on the same mission as that upon which
he was sent by Blaine, and, Furthermore,
he negotiated on the first occasion a re-
~ciprooity treaty which was laid before
the Senate by President Arthur. 1t was
overlooked in the excitement Of a Presi-
Dental campaign, and was still before
the Senate upon the assumption OF the
executive duties by Cleveland. who with.
drew it. A reciprocal treaty made with
Mexico by Generals Grant and Prescott,
who were sent South upon the errand by
Arthur, met the same fate. II is there.
fore certain that whatever credit is at.
tached to the origin of the reciprocity
idea belongs to Arthur. I am unable to
understand how the people Of this coun-
try, who are usually SO r~etentiye in mem.
DRY, managed to forget these two recip-
rocal treaties Of Arthur's, and in giving
the credit to Blaine they do 9 great in
justice to one Of the ablest Presidents
this country has ever had"
The above is correct as to proposed
treaties with Mexico and Spain. MI.
Blaine is not the author of the reciproc.
ity idea. But he saw that the Mckinley
bill would damage the Republican party
unless there was a vent provided TO carry
off the high pressure. Hence the recip-
rocity feature of the bill. But the idea
was not original with Mr.. Blaine. II had
been discussed for years, and at least
two treaties embracing the doctrine had
been negotiated under the administration
Of President Arthur. We are willing to
concede that Mr.. Blaine is 3 brilliant
far-seeing man. but it should not be
claimed that he possesses q monopoly OF
all the brains In the world.

TRUST THE BOYS.

The best way to make q boy trust.
worthy is to trust him, and the surest
way to drive him into untrustworthiness
is to distrust him. This truth is 80
strongly exemplifed by experience in &C
tual life that it ought to become an axiom
to be remembered by every one who has
anything to do with boys. The throw
ing Of a boy on his " sense OF respon-
sibility stimulates him to do his level
best in any trust given him. II makes
him believe that you regard him as wor-
thy of being trusted, and he will not only
dislike to lose your good opinion of him,
but he will wish to show you that he is
the kind Of a boy you took him to be.
When he has fulfilled your trust he nat
urally feels a pride in thinking that,
when placed on trial, he had proven him.
self the trustworthy boy you supposed
him to be.
II is very hard work for a boy to be
trustworthy when you distrust him. He
feels that you expect him to TAIL you, and
he has little desire to disappoint you.
Many a man who is untrustworthy and
dishonest has been made so by being al
ways distrusted when be was a boy, and
many a man owes his habits Of honesty
and trustworthiness to the fact that he
was trusted in his boyhood. Honesty is
often all a habit, and if a boy gets into
the habit Of doing the right thing, that
habit stays by him when he becomes a
man. A certain boy, when he was re-
preached by a wicked playmate for max.
ing extra efforts to fulfill a trust conf
ded to him, replied, "a fellow can't do
anything wrong when his mother trusts
him so."-Carson Tribune.

McKinley's attention and kindness TO her

take pleasure in the graceful. cultivated
and enlightened society Of Washington.
But as she can't. he quietly gives il up
and follows the path Of good taste and
dignity by declining invitations to places
where his wife can't go with him.
But never was there a man better of
in a wife than Governor Campbell. Dur
ing the time he was In Congress the Camp
bells had q very pretty house on Connec.
ticut avenue, where they entertained
handsomely. And Mrs. Campbell is won.
derfully adapted to preside over a public

fellowship about him. He and McKin.
ley are upon the most friendly and even
intimate terms. During the Republican

convention met Mrs. Campbell drove up
to the hotel where Mr.. Mckinley was
and took him to drive in her

graceful thing at the right time. She
can scarcely be called q politician in the
sense that Mrs. Kate Chase Sprsgue was,
who studied public questions deeply,
and was one Of the most astute political
this country ever saw. Still
less she is like Mrs. Logan. who could
rally the boys with the best Of them.
Mrs. Campbell's role is that of being the
dignifed graceful woman always. and in.
cidentally to make every friend and get
every vote for James G. Campbell that
can possibly be had. Governor Camp

THE BEST

The best method that can be suggested
to keep the money taken from the mines
in the State, instead of helping to enrich
San Francisco Herewith, is for the next
Legislature to enact a law to prevent the
incorporation of mining property any
where but in the State where the mine
is located. By this means not only will
the proceeds of local mines be kept at
home, but Virginia City and other min
ing centers will be placed in a flourish
ing condition, and Paupers' Alley, with
other dens of iniquity in San Francisco,
will no more be heard of.-Carson Tri-
bnne.
There was a plank in the Democratic
State platform last year covering the
above suggestion. ALI of the Republican
newspapers, including the Tribune, de-
nounced it as q shame, intended to be-
little and ipjure the State. OF course
everybody knows that Nevada is con-
stantly plundered by rings and cliques
who are associated with other rings and
cliques in San Francisco. Both the bust.
ness and politics of Nevada are managed
from California. The result is that CAL
ifornis is steadily being enriched at our
expense. To point out these evils is
merely to invite the ridicule of the lick
spittles who do the bidding Of corporate
power in this State. The whole thing is
iron-olad, and there is little use in kick
ing against the pricks. Independence
and manhood are at a big discount in Ne.
vada, as q general rule.

The Endorsement of Blaine by the Har-
risburg Convention is significant of more
than the personal a~ntagonism towards
Mr.. Harrison Of the politicians who engi-
neered it. Quay had his private ven
geance to wreak, and the country conf
IDENTIFY expected that he would rebuke
the supercilliousness Of the man whom
he elevated to the Presidency. But it
was q deliberate plan to inaugurate
the candidacy of Blaine. Other Repub.
loan State conventions in indorsing the
administration have included the Score
tary of State in the laudatory resolutions;
but none have thus far ventured to de-
liberately repudiate Harrison and plainly
recommend the exsltation Of his chief Of
Cabinet above him.
OF course such . measure would not
have been undertaken without the con-
sent of Blaine, and equally Of course Mr..
Harrison is bound to see in il 9 distinct
antagonism to himself that must induce
anything but cordial relations between
the Premier and the President, resulting,
very likely, in the early retirement of
the former from the Cabinet.
The weather wise in politics have long
predicted the event that Is now realized,
and to many il is no surprise. To us Of
the opposition it will only make the
study Of Republican strife more divert

all the tremendous power of patronage,
on the other unquestionable ability and
