Memphis, Tenn, Feb. Is
The second trial this season OF
the Todd picker was made yes
terday near this city, in the
presence of a number of promi-
nent cotton factors of N Memphis,
the inventor. Mr.. G \ Todd, of
Chicago, and representives of
the local ard Chicago press.
The machine picker picked
the staple right along despite
unfavorable conditions; the trial
demonstrates that the machine
does not injure growing bolls
as some anticipated at the form.
er trial 1t is the general opin-
ion that Mr.. Todrs invention
will revolutlonize the cotton
growing industry. The planters
of the cotton States are deeply
interested in its success and
the secretary OF the Cotton Ex-
change is in receipt of hundreds
of letters of inquiry concerning
the vention. The witnesses
of the trial signed an unqualified
endorsement of the machine.

monstrated his Independence

Gently written and made public
in New York conGemning the
free and unlimited coinage OF
silver by the government. Not
since the great tariff message TO
Congress has anything like it
appeared in American politics.
For boldness and a defiance OF
Democratics sentiment South an d
West, Mr.. Cleveland's silver
Jews are unequalled. What
effect this letter will have on
the prospects of Cleveland re
mains TO be seen. 0fcourse the
silver producing states and
some sections of the South will
now oppose the re nomination
Of Cleveland for President. But
he will be stronger than ever in
New York. New England and
the East generally, while he will
not lose ground in Michigan In
diana, Wisconsin and the Mid
die States.
1t seems a certainty that the
Democratic party cannot win
with silver candidate unless
the Sonth and West will com
pine against the East. This is
not probable and we still ad-
here to the belief that the next
fight should be had on the lines
Of tariff reform. II Cleveland
can win this contest for us let
us nominate him and settle the
silver question next.

ture at the Opera House here
last night. On being question.
ed as TO the uupleasantness al

matter, and said he was on the
depot platform waiting for a

when a man stepped up and
asked: us this Sam Jones I, to
which he replied, "rhat is my
forgiven name.r
The fellow said Mr. Jones,
"then bit me 10 the face with q
cane, cutting q deep cash across
my check. aud also hit me on
the shoulders. Ithen put down
my valise, grabbed the mans
cane, wrung it out of his hand,
and started in and literally wore
him out. We separated, and /
left him in the hands of the doc.
tors for repairs. Ihave learned
that the pugilistic gentleman is
the Mayor of Palestine. He will
know who to jump on the next
time. 1 am afraid this kind of
thing is not going to stop here
Some smart Aleck will want to
whip me again l won't have
peace until l kill some one. /
