nave gone over to the Peoples party
and II they succeed in winning over
three fourths, or 100000, of the colored
voters and in having their votes cast
and counted the new party will be
able to carry the State and elect Kolb
Governor.
But Alabama is only one illustratio n
OF 1he purpose Of the Peoples party
leaders to aid the cOlored voters in the
south to recover their suffrage rights
The same peril to the Democratic marty
exists in every Southern State and the
organs are sounding the alarm with a
VIgor that shows how imminent the
danger is. Ifit should happen that
the Peoples party, with it's heretical
doctrines, obtains control in the South
oy means OF the negro vote, the white
Democrats will only have themselves
to blame. They aided or silently ac-
acquiesced in the cruel methods bv
which this vote was thrust aside and
made no effort to lead it in the right
direction. IF it is now used against
them, and by the very same class of
men that was instrumental in thecrinas
perpetrated for years on the ballot.box
in the South, it will be only another
Illustration of the truism that wrong
always returns to vex its perpetrators.
The colored vote is certain to play a
more prominent part this year than it
has IN any national campaign since
1876. The Peoples party is in a posi-
ton to introduce this element into the
contest and there is every evidence
that 1t lntendsto exercise its advantage.
The ultimate result will be good what
ever temporary detriment may follow.

FIELDS LOST CABLE.
A GRAPHIC STORY OF IT'S RECOVERY
IN MID-OCEAN.
Caught, Lost and Found Again.

John Bright once spoke of the late
Cyrus w. Field as the columbus of
modern times, who, by his cable, had
mOored the new world alongside the
old" Mr.. Field first established COM
munication in 1865. Then the Great
Eastern began the delivery of u new
cable. In mid-ecean, after 1900 miles
had been laid, the cable parted and
the ship returned to England. In 1866
another expedition started, and on
July q telegraphic communication
was established between the two con.
tinents and has not since been inter.
rupted.

ALIVE OR DEAD.

"Fhen we carried it along to the
electricians room to see if our long
sought treasure was alive or dead.
"A few minutes of suspense, and
nash told of the lightning current
again set free. Then did the feeling
long pent up burst forth. Some turned
away their heads and wept, others
broke into cheers, and the cry ran
from man to man, and was heard down
IN the engine rooms, deck below deck,
and from the boats on the water. and
the other ships, while rockets lighted
up the darkness of the sea.
Then with thankful hearts we
turned our faces again to the west"

A THRILLING MOMENT.

This accident kept us at work two
weeks longer, but finally on the last
night of August, we caught it. We
mad cast the grapnel thirty times. It
was little before midnight Sunday
morning when we got it on board
what was the anxiety of those twenty
SIX hours ! The strain on every man g
life was like the strain on the cable
itself. When finally it appeared it
was midnight; the lights of the shin
and in the boats around our bows. as
they flashed in the faces of the men
showed them eagerly watching for the
cable to appear on the water.
AT length it was brought to the
surface. All who were allowed to an
PrOaeh crowded forward to see it. Yet
not word was spokenj only the
voices of the ofiicersfn comma and were
heard giving orders. All felt as if life
and death hung on the issue. 1t was
only when it was brought over the
bow and on the deck that men dared
to breathe. Even then they hardly
believed their eyes. Some crept tow
ard it to feel of it, to be sure it was
there.

THE LOST CABLE.

AT u dinner given to Mr.. Field by
the New York Chamber of Commerce
on November 10, 1866, he told about
the recovery of the lost cable. He
said Captain MOriarity was in the
Great Eastern Last year and saw the
cable when it broke, and he and Can
tain Anderson at once took their OBJ
servations so exact that they could 90
right to the spot. After finding it thew
marked the line of the cable by a row
of buoys. These buoys were anchored
a few miles apart. They were num-
bered, and each had flagstaff on it so
that 1t could be seen by day; and a
lantern by night. Thus having taken
our bearings, we stood off three or four
miles SO as to come brOadside on: and
and then casting over the Rrapnel
drifted slowly down upon it, dragging
the bottom OF the ocean as we went.

still we worked on day after day.
Once, on the 18th day of August, we
got the cable up, and had it in full
sight for tive minutes-a long. slimv

oceans bed; but our men began to
cheer SO wildly that it seemed to be
frightened and suddenly broke away

A rwo-MILE FISHING LINE

Our fishing line was of formidable
size. 1t was made of rope, twisted
with wires of steel, so as to bear a
strain of thirty tons. 1t took about
two hours for the grapnel to reach bot
tom' but we could tell when it struck.
often went to the bow and sat on the
rope, and could feel by the culver that
the grapnel was dragging on the bot
tom two miles under us. But it was a
very slow business. We had storms
and calms and fogs and squalls.
