SILVER BILL VETOED.

The President last Thursday sent
to the House the following message
vetoing the Bland silver seiRniorage
bill:
To The House Of Representatives,
I return without my approval
House bill numbered 4 ,596, entitled,
IAN act directing the coinage Of
the silver bullion held in the treas

done, provided authority were

THE GEOLOGIC AGE OF THE
WORLD.

Prof. d. C. Walcott expresses
the opinion-contrary to that en-
tertalned by other scientists-that
geologic time is not to be measured
by hundreds Of millions Of years,
but simply by tens Of millions.
This il widely different from the
conclusion arrived at by Sir Charles
Lyell, who, basing his estimate
on modification of certain speci-
mems of marine life, assigning two
hundred and forty millions Of years
- the required geologic period;
Darwin claimed two hundred mil
lion years; Crowell about seventy
two million; Geikie, from seventy
million upward; Alexander Win
chell but three million; while Nc
Gee, Upham, and other recent
authorities claim from one hundred
million up to six hundred and eigh-
ty million. The data presented by
DR.. Walcott, showing the distri-
button Of geologic time, or the diff
ferent periods Of sedimentary rocks,
gives two million nine hundred
thousand years for the cenozoic
and pieistocene, seven million two
and forty thousand for the
mesozoic, seventeen million five
thousand for the paleozoic,
and like period to the latter for
the algonkian-a total Of forty
i've million five hundred thousand

Of March from New York to Europe

regions. He is accompanied by
several prominent scientists, and
they expect to accomplish more
than any traveller has 50 far done

II the North Pole Is ever dis
covered, it viii be done by a news

great pioneer Of progress and civ
ilization. After the press has
located the Pole, then will follow

NEW ENGLAND MOVING
SOUTH.

The Manufactured Record learns
from good sources that in addition
to the Massachusetts Mills, Of
Lowell; the Dwight Company, Of
Chicopee, Mass. the Otes Com
pany, Of Ware, Mass, and Bliss,
Fabian & Co., of New York, all
Of whom have mentioned as intend
ing to build large cotton mills in
the South, that number Of other
New England concerns will follow
their example. These companies
have decided that it is absolutely
necessary to build mills South In
order to compete in the manufac-
ture Of coarse goods, but they be-
lieve that they can hold on to their
fine goods trade in New England.
The mills to be built by the four
concerns mentioned above will pro.
badly represent an aggregate cost
of at least 81. 500, 900 to 81, 600. 900.
They will be very large, will have
every modern improvement in con-
struction and equipment, and will
take all Of their skilled help from
New England.
A large cotton manufacturer In
discussing this movement, said that
the building Of these mills would
force upon Southern cotton manu-
facturers sharper competition than
they have ever had. "These mills"
said he, will be about the largest
and most complete ever built in the
South; they will have an abundance
Of capital and the benefit of all the
experience Of help trained for years
In their Northern mills. They are
going South, determined, II posi-.
Bile, to control the coarse goods
trade, and they will have many ad-
vantages in their favor"
This will open up an interesting
question. The big mills Of the South
will he able to hold their own in
competition, but it will be necessary
for the smaller mills to put them
selves in position by good equip
ment and reduced cost Of production
to meet the coming competition
Of these New England giants. It
IL said that these concerns will have
1t least $4,000 spindles each.
While these companies are saying
very little about their intentions,
our informant states that they are
looking for locations, and will build
during this period Of depression in
order to be ready for the return Of
good times.

CAN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE
ALL THE TINE

There should be no surprise If the
Republicans should make = desper-
ate effort to use the action mani
tested by the advocates Of various
local interests in the Southern
States against tue free list of the
Wilson tariff bill to create disaffec-
ton in the southern Democracy
and turn the disaffected into the
Republican fold.
Well, the Southern people are
not fools, and they will not be led
into any such Republican trap.
They know with perfect certainty
that all the troubles, both financial
and industrial, from which the
country is suffering were brought
on by Republican policy.
When President Cleveland went
out of Office at the close of his first
term he left a surplus fund of over
500. 900, 900 in the treasury. When
he came in, at the beginning Of his
second term he found the treasury
empty and subsisting on hand-to-
mouth policy. The treasury was
bankrupted by a single term Of the
Harrison administration. It was
under Republican administration
and Senate that the enormous PEN
sion debt of more than $l6O, 900, 600
a year was piled up. It was by the
Republicans that the tariff was
taken off of imported sugar, and
the bounty law, the most unpopular
measure that was ever forced on
the country was enacted, and that
with the knowledge that the people
Of the United States would demand
its prompt repeal. They have done
SO, and the struggle that the sugar
men of Louisiana are making, q life
and death struggle for their indus
try. is all the result Of Republican
legislation. Republicans enacted
laws that set up powerful cemmer-
cial trusts and monopolies, and ere.
ated special projected industries at
the expense of the agricultural and
working classes. The Sherman sill
yer law, which was the moving
cause OF the great financial panic
of last summer, was 3 Republican
measure.
The Republicans brought the
finances and industries of the Amer
lcan people to q state of collapse.
When the government was deliv-
cred into the hands Of the Demo
cratic party, the bottom dropped
out. and the miserable sham which
had been concealed from public
gaze for so long time was exposed.
Yes, all the misfortunes from
which the country is suffering to.
day were prepared by Republican
domination. and the people know
it. The people Of the South know
it, and they are not to be deceived
BY Republican misrepresentation.
The Republicans are not going ia
carry the South in the next cleo
ton. That they may count ON.
Doubtless the Democracy every
where else will be able to take care
Of itself when the time comes. II
is possible to fool some of the peo-
pie sometimes, but to fool all the
people all the time is impossible

AN INVESTMENT IN ALA
BAMA.

Some individual Of = sanguine
temperament has made that organi-
cation Of protectionists, known as
the Home Market Club, of Boston,
believe that If financial assistance is
given to the campaign Of Capt.
Rube Kolb, Alabama can be car
ried by the Populists, and the Solid
South divided. The Home Market
Club is now sending out circulars
stating how easily it will be to rake
Alabama into the fold Of protection
il the money is put up, and protec-
tionists are urgently invited to shed
their wealth for the good cause,
aud much stress is laid on the fact
that Capt. Kolb stands squarely
on the platform Of protection to
American industries and American
labor.
It is the intention of the Club to
raise a fund Of $50, 900 for the pur-
pose Of buying votes, and as soon
as the money is contributed it will
be forwarded to Capt. Kolb. He
will receive it gladly. 1t will then
be distributed among his lieuten-
ants, who. after placing it where it
will, according to their best judg-
ment, do the most good-in their
own pockets they will proceed to
raise . big noise, but the election
will result, as usual, in a robust
Democratic majority.
A great deal of Northern money
has been spent in attempts to split
the Solid South, and We violate no
confidence when we say that while
they have failed with monotonous
regularity, the people OF this sec
ton Of the country hope that the
practice will not be discontinued,
for the reason that it adds to the
interest Of the campaigns in the
South, and at the same time in
creases the volume of the circu-
lating medium. We would advise
the members Of the Home Market
Club, however, before they part
with their ducats, to communicate
with that distinguished political
wire puller, Mr.. Chris. Magee, Of
Pennsylvania, and obtain his opin-
ion regarding the use and results Of
Northern money in q Southern CAM
paign.
It is . matter Of record that in
1892 Mr.. Magee was carried away
by the idea that Kolb was the po-
litical Moses who was destined to
lead the State Of Alabama out OF
the Democratic column, and he
came down to Birmingham and
there dropped q wad Of something
like $3.50, 900 Of bank notes into the
extended and patriotic hands Of the
Kolbites. The money was taken
out of the Republican national cam
paien fund, and there was much
abuse showered on the devoted
head Of Magee, and he was called
hard names when the news reached
the committee rooms in New York
that Cleveland had carried the State
by SO, 900 majority.
The Massachusetts, protectioDists
however are not likely to profit by
the experience Of Magee, and so
far as the Alabama Democrats are
concerned, they hope the Home
Market Club will 60 ahead and
raise the fund Of $50, 900, or thrice
that sum, because they invite
Northern capital to that State,
whether for political or industrial
nurDoses.-Daily States.
