Ahnut Artificial Gnms.

In an article on the present manu- fracture of artificial gums, The Tex tile Mercury describes as prominent among these the method pursued by Rossi and Hellfrisch, who prepare a gum by acting with sulphurous acid on starch, the product consisting of "gommaline, dextrine and trace of glucose, which is stated to be clear, non-hygroscopic, possessing also an adhesive power nearly equal to gum arabic but the gommaline is not true gum, being probably only modified form of dex- Urine. A similar compost ton characterizes gum sub stitutes generally, some varieties being also made by boiling down solutions of gum and dextrine in vacuo, but special defect in such products is the rapid loss of their consistency. The production known as "arabop' is mixture of dextrine with an albuminous body presenting a brown, sticky mass, containing about 35 per cent. of water, gives pale colored solution, and can be used as substitute for gum arabic for most commercial purposes. Other substitutes are similarly made, but are inferior to the dextrine gum, being liable to become hygroscopic, also to decom- pose and to be affected by the weather.

or discussed for this position, and
the whole matter took the conven-
tion by surprise.
Mr.. Osborn was nominated for
Attorney General. He is one Of the
ablest young lawyers in the State,
and entirely qualified for the i'm
portant position. But he has more
talent than SENSE, as was clearly
shown by his speech Of acceptance.
After he had been nominated and
largely aided by Alliance votes (for
no one could be nominated without
their help) he went out of his way
to refer unbecomingly to the Alli-
ance and its demands. For doing
so he was not accorded the attention
and respect by the convention which
he might have expected.
The names of the delegates to

an admirable one and will be strong

Every party should be honest enough

RI CO 10 1Inb 10
But platforms are worth nothing
unless we have men to stand Oh
them who are as large as the plat
form. We would prefer to have
good men with pc sitive convictions
for candidates without any platform,
than to have the best platform with
uncertain men on it. In fact the
convictions of the nominees is al
ways the real platform. Therefore,
the nomination of Mr.. Elias Carr
interprets and enlarges the platform.
If Gov. Holt had been renominated
it would have given the same plat
form a different Interpretation. The
nomination of Mr.. DOughtOn for
Lieut.. Governor also enlarges and
interprets the platform in the inter-
est of the people. While nothing is
said in the platform about the rail-
road commission yet tie nomina.
tion of ldr. Doughton adds all this,
and more. The committee he ap-
pointed on railroad commission in
the last Legislature were for the bill
as it passed. The Alliance delegates
were about equally divided between
Col. Skinner and Mr.. Ooughton, and
after the withdrawal OF Col S. they
were practically unanimous for him,
and so on we might go through the
whole ticket and we would find that
a majority Of it strengthens and en-
larges the platform.

invited friend to "step out and join him."

he asked confidentially:
"Well, what do you think of the pieces"
''It certainly has the merit of original
ity," returned the friend cautiously.
Eyes, of course; / tried to make it un-

dramatist.
"You succeeded" returned the other
tersely. Then he added, "There is also a
good deal of uncertainty about it as the
plot develops"
Naturally Naturallyi' exclaimed the
author my intention was to puzzle the
audience. And the title? What do you
think of that?"
''That is the most puzzling feature of it. Z"
'Puzzling? How?"

AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS-
MAN GRADY.

The tax payers and every true
citizen Of the 3rd Ceng. Dist. will
point with honest pride to your
vote against the outraging appro-
priation and reckless plundering of
the 52th Congress. They can hon.
estly and safely feel that in you,
they have q true and able friend.
They will ever honor the high mo
tives which prompted you in enter
ins your solemn protest against
measure so fatal in its tendencies,
so reckless and appalling in its result.
The River and Harbor Bill against
which you voted appropriates
from the peoples pocket for i'm
mediate expenditures, S23, 900,
and provides for future expendi-
lures to be appropriated by future
Congress S27,O00,OO0; in all, one
bill carrying an appropriation of
fifty million of dollars. Such games
of plunder can not always continue.
The light Of investigation will re-
veal the true character of such in
justices. They can not stand ex-
animation before The people, and it
is unfortunate that the Democratic
party will have it to explain and
apologize for. The most ignorant
and submissive Of our citizens have
not yet learned to wear the yoke of
such bondage, as is being attempted
to weld on them. And to you, Mr..
Grady, and your North Carolina
colleagues Mes5rs. Crawford and
Williams, and the other sixty-two
patriots, the people will gratefully
remember and confidently rely to
protect their rights and their prop
erty. The other one and sixty eight
traitors Of the people should be BAN
| ished from the halls of Congress
which they ale disgracing. The
people have entrusted in the hands
of these men, the honor, the future
glory and prosperity Of our nation,
they have proven recreant to
their trust, and their merit should
be mete d to them.
