Is another column we publish
q synopsis Of the agreement enter
ed into by the MeEnery and Foster
committees. The compromise is a
yindication Of the principles Of De-
moCracy as enunciated by Gov.
McEnery and his friends since the
opening o fthis bitter campaign.
The whole dispute has been wise
II relegated to the action of the
white Democrats Of Louisiana, to
be dedcided at a primary election
to be held throughout the State on
the 22nd day of March. The ticket
receiving the highest number OF
votes will then be declared as the
regular Democratic ticket of this
State.
The compromise was effected with
out giving cause for humiliation tt
either faction, and the conferences
were conducted in a patriotic spiri
of fairness and friendly considera
ton.
It now remains for the friends o
Gov. McEnery and Mr.. Foster t
conductive present campaign, prio
to the primary election. in such
manner as to give no cause 70
bitter feelings and intemperat
language. Let every man work fo
his side with all his might, but L
him do so in a friendly, courteou
manner. Neither factions can max
friends to the cause they advocat
by uncalled for denunciatiOns ofme
on the opposition ticket. We q
not want only harmony in Dem
cratic ranks, but we also want ha
mony of kindly feelings in I'll
hearts of brother Democrats.

AAAS GNCON a bAN avn RAOBO
of the McEnery party, tn rough its.
conference committee, to a like
body oftheF osterites, after allhOpes
of a compromise seemed a vain
dream. Public opinion was loud in
it's approval of the course OfGov.
McEnery and his supporters and
as loud in it's denunciations Of the
s~tubborness ofthe Foster men who
seemed to control automatically the
actions of their Central Committee
and cause it, not only to refuse all
proposals of peace, but to make
such counter proposals as were not
only an insult to the good faith of
their opponents but above all a
total disregard of the peoples right
to Judge in the premises and under
its verdict through its ballot.-a
right the McEnery side would never
ignore as being the fundamental
principle Of sovereign popular De-
mocracy.
Added to this was the influence
of the Foster men who were hon
est Democrats, sensibleand reasOn9-
| BILE beings and citizens who sought
no Office but harmony and victory.
This combination of circumstances
forced the rabid boilers and Office
seekers to the wall, and much to
| their despair and humiliation they
were compelled to accept the above
compact;-a compact based exclu-
sively upon the first proposals of
McEnery and his committee aud
leaving the people free to choose
it's leaders and servants through an
untrammelled ballot.
We can we'll understand the re-
sistance of the FoSterite office, seek
ers-the pets and proteges of
Nichols, the would be successors of
the most unpopular administration
ever know to Louisiana, the miniOns
of a governor noted for his tyranny,
~partiality, vindictiveness and nefar-
ious rule, feared to again :appeal to
the people; under circumstances
ten fold more favorable, when side
issues, and false representations,
Adams candidacy and other obsta-
cles were arrayed against Nc
Enery's candidacy, he was still the
nominee of Democracy by a MAORI
ty of Ii, 900 voices. The only hope
of the FOSterites for success was
revolt, bloodshed and an attempt
to be returned into Office by the
Nichols Electoral machine, even
at the cost of destroying Demo-
cracy and delivering Louisiana a
prey to the Republicans and Radi.
Gals. And when all the obstacles of
the primaries were removed from
McEnery's path, when he appear
ed by his own patriotic actions to be
more than Sever the champion of
Democracy and White supremacy,
ready to sacrifice personal feeling
and ambition for the welfare of the
State how could they dare hope to
meet him before the people. He,
the man who In 1888 proved to
the world that as a Louisianian
and Democrat he under no consld-
GRAFTON would listen to dissenting
minorities.
Long live u united Democracy!
Let us hail the news with delight.
1t is an assurance of McEnery's
election, and a further assurance
that four years from now no set Of
0fice-seeking boilers will dare hope
to seek his administrations patron
age to satisfy their unlawful ambi
tiOns and disrupt the Democracy

A VERY LARGE CROWD.
Fully Ten Thousand Paople in Clarks-
vile SUNDAY.

Clarksville was full to running over
yesterday with people to hear Sam
Jones. They came from every direc-
ton and in every conceivable way.
The Mineral train found it necessary
to make two trips to accommodate
the people who wanted to come from
the south side. The Princeton train
had four large coaches OH it and each
was crowded almost to suffocation,
1t is estimated that fully ten thous-
and people were here anu it was the
most orderly crowd that has been in
Clarksville in many days. A great
many of them took dinner at the
hotels, some brought it with them
and others dined with friends In the
city. People living twenty miles
from town remained over to the
night service and went home after
ward,

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK

Is kheaped hills of fine red and brown
hematite, like so much ocherous gravel,
or the coarser Jumps of sparkling gray
magnetic ore, varying widely IN quality
and price.
The casual observer as he walks
along can distinguish bu4 four or~hve,
or at most half a dozen, grades of ore,
but experts know thss these immense
conical piles are strictly classified, and
that upward of eighty different grades
have their place m the market lists.
But how much is 1900, 900. tons Of 'ores
Loaded on fat cars thirty -fve fest long
aad carrying fifteen tops, each n wsSnld
make a train 700 miles lopg or more
chan FIVE times the distance from Cleve-
land to Pittsburgh Yet this is but about
one-third the iron ore laid down at Lake
Erie ports every summer. The total
would more than fill two trains OF such
fat cars extending from Chicago 10
New York city!
Besides this great ore traffic, which
annually amounts TO geo, ,o00, 900 or more
in value, there is shipped from the ports
Of Lake Erie an immense amount OF
coal, both anthracite and bitumtneus.
to Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and
smaller points, where IL is stored for
shipment farther west during the winter
months. This requires very diherent
set of docks, and in extent they exceed
the ore docks. Cleveland leads ip tho
amount Of bituminous coal shipped,
handling over 1 200, 900 tons annually.
The coal docks are over two miles In
length, but narrow, and the coal is'usu-
ally loaded directly from the cars by
means of derricks that handle gpaat
buckets holding half ton or more. The
work Is slower than that of loading ore
or unloading it, but new device has
just been erected here that promises to
make it easy to dump whole carload
into vessel at once, and If IL succeeds
the work will be greatly expedited.
Without this the Cleveland docks can
handle 1000 ordinary carloads Of coal
day, and the total shipments from the
port each year reaches 10000 carloads,
or enough to make train over 45o miles
long! Nothing could better illustrate
the magnitude Of these great interests
than that stupendous fact.
When, in addition to what goes from
Cleveland, the large shipments from
Toledo, Sndusky, Ashtabula, Erie and
Buffalo are considered the aggregate
reaches an amount as amazing as that
of the ore traffic.
Both orc and coal docks gather an
added interest when one thinks of their
varied and close relations to the, com.
fort and industry Of the central west
and great northwest, and what.appears
at first as only strange and unusual be-
comes richly suggestive Of the great ago
of steel in which we live, of the wonder
full development Of the lake region and
especially the northwest, and Of the
amazing increase in recent years In
transportation facilities and their even
more amazing cheapness.

OUTER END OF cANTILEvER.

Cleveland ranks second, her receipts
exceeding 1,500,00 tons, while Fairport
is third, with 100000 or more. Buff
falo, Lorain and few other points re-
ceive small amounts. The ore comes
principally from Escanaba, Mich, on
Lake Michigan Green Bay; Marquette,
Mich; Ashland, Wis, and Two Harbors,
Mimi, on Lake Superior. The river
frontage of the docks here is longer than
at any other Lake Erie point, but they
are not 80 deep, and have not as great a
proportionate storage capacity as at
Ashtabula and Fairport, where land
near the river is much less valuable and
more easily obtained.
Few persons can appreciate what

FEELING AN ORE sTRAMER.

day will such mountains of rich ore be
found heaped ready for the transform
ing fire of the furnaces as at Cleveland,
Ashtabula, Fairport and Buffalo and at
South Chicago, on Lake Michigan.
The ore being less bulky than coal
can be carried farther than the coal in
the journey toward each other, so that
but little ore is reduced in the upper
peninsula of Michigan. Much of it
meets the coal at Chicago and Cleve-
land, but the greater part is carried to
the Mahoning valley and western Penn
sylvania furnaces. AS the lakes are
open for navigation but seven months
in the year, it is necessary to find q
storage place for the ore required to
supply the furnaces during the winter
months. Accordingly at Cleveland, Ash
tsbula and Fairport miles Of docks have
been built, lining the narrow rivers that
put into the lake at these points, and
here during the summer Is unloaded
hundreds of thousands of tons of iron
ore and gradually forwarded to the fur
naces by rail.
It is almost impossible to appreciate
the magnitude of this great traffic with
out walk along the docks between great
ranges of iron ore hills twenty, thirty and
forty feet in height, only few railroad
tracks separating them like narrew val
leys, and overhead great steel frame
tie of the steel buckets as they are raised
from the holds of great black hulled
vessels by the docks and go creaking on
the cantilevers back to whatever point
the engineer has elected to dump them
startles one, and the stranger lodges in
voluntarily as they rush backward and
forward over his head.

machines, putting and kissing away
adding familiar element to the strange
scene. Now train of fiat cars comes
creeping along, drawn by snortng
switch engine. In each car are dozen
fills of those great ton buckets, looking
like such light load as compared with
the heaping coal cars, so usual in other
places, yet testing the strength of the
gondolas quite as fully. A red dust
rises and falls and the laborers are COY.
cred with it. Their clothes are ocher
ous red, boots the color of the tanbarh
piles they knew as leather, and sweat
burrows are down their dusty faces and
through the rust tinged boards.
The unloading of vessel at one or
these docks Is rapid work. All the lake
ore carriers have six and many Of them
eight matches, and when they come to
the dock hoisting machine is put to
work in each. The great buckets are
filled below, while the others are drawn
up and emptied, sometimes being car
ried back on the overhead railway Of the
cantilevers 300 feet or more. Thus it Is
possible to take 1900 tons-enough to
load $50 ordinary fiat cars-from a yes
sci In six or eight hours.
At present the activity on the ore
docks, whether at Cleveland, Fairport or
Ashtabula, is almost at its height. The
latter point being nearer many furnaces
and having a straight river channel re-
ceives the most ore of any port on Lake
Erie, usually running 100000 tons or
more annually.

Especial Correspondence
REDD1NG, Conn, Sept. 29.-Aside from
their interest as the theater OF many
rotable events in. volutionary times,
these rock ribbed hills possess charm
one Of the broadest Of them was bosn
in the year 1854, Joel Barlow, the most
wGdely known of early Axperican poets,
stsShor Of the amtdtfens trae thS "Ce-
lunbiad," and In the early days Of the
republic "a man of might" The poets
father titled farm Of 175 acres, and
loci became thoroughly familiar with
the ins and outs of colonial husbandry.
The old Barlow homestead was de-
molshed in 1923, and LEGAL antiquaries
can merely locate its site in the western
part of the town. But the old tavern
roadhouse and postoffice combined
where at one time the poet lived, and IN
the upper front chamber of which he
wrote, still stands in West Redding. II
has not suffered material change. In IL,
we are told, bluff and hearty old Put
nam frequently enjoyed good cheer,
both social and bibulous. The neat farm
house into which the old roadhouse has
been metamorphosed is painted bright
yellow and stands on the old Danbury
post road. Near it flows the Sangatuck
river, here but brook. The barroom
was in the northeast corner, and back Of
the bar was a wine closet closed by .
glass door A quaint sight is tho old
fashioned smokehouse, which still re-
mains unaltered in the gawet by the
side of the enormous chimney. Hams
and bacon were hung high in those days.
This Columbian year makes the read
~ of Barlow's epic timely, not alone
because of Columbus '..vision" therein
described, but also to show how far we
have advanced in poetic composition
since Barlow wrote. The "Columbfad' b
the perfected version Of an earlier poem
by the same author, called the "vision
of Columbus" written ere Barlow had
gained such distinction in other ways as
a diplomat, general writer and man Of
affairs. The scheme Of each poem ID
substantially the same, Cel1mbus, the
discoverer, being represented as o seer
who discourses at length concerning the
trials, triumphs and future greatness OF
the New World. The events Of tho
Revolution occupy q prominent part tn
the work, and Barlow has noted many
incidents connected with the LOCALITIES
and men that were specially familiar TO
him.
A short distance from the old build
ing is the site OF the first Methodist
camp ground in New England, estab-
lished about 1910. The tents were very
primitive then, often only branches OF
trees or blankets stretched on poles.
Above the valley to the east is high
ridge called "Gallows hill," from. the
execution of a spy and desertef fhere
by Putnam's orders. When Barlow
lived nearby the hill, then baply of less
ominous name, was covered with q
thick forest growth. Now 1t is mostly
cleared and gone to barrenness. A few
stupted bushes crop out here and there.
Spring lends a brief freshness to the
vegetation, which soon disappears, and
