A NEW r1ANUFACTORY.

III. p. Jensen will in a short time
begin to manufacture his patent
steel hobs. The factory will be To-
Gated at his present establishment,
and the output promises to be very
popular. He is now making four
wagons for the Worlds Liniment peo-
pie. One of these goes to Freeport,
ILL.,, to w. l. Rawleigh. The latter
writes to Mr.. Jensen: ''If you had
not been so highly spoken of should
never have ordered a wagon of you,
and for that matter l could have got
ten along this season with my two
old outfits, both of which are in fair
shape"
When the fact is taken into con-
sideration that there are two large
carriage factories at Freeport, the
splendid reputation of Mr. Jensen as a
builder is appreciated. He is known
far and wide, and his work is as much
an advertisement of Mankato as it is
credit to himself.

The fire department was called
out shortly before l o'clock Fridayaf-
ternoon by little blaze in house on
n. Sixth street, owned by Jacob
Roemer. One corner of the house
caught fire, but the department had
little trouble in eXtinguishing it, and
Chief Phillips estimates that the loss
will not be over SIS. The family
could not locate the fire on account of
the dense smoke. 1t is thought that
a boy set fire to some shavings in an
upper room, and that the flames spread
to the wood work.

Second street work was about $1,000
higher than the lowest bid.
This street will never be graded
so cheaply as now, when labor
is Dseeking for work, and the
property owners are fortunate in
being able to save one-third of the
cost.
The board adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon at two o'clock, when the
awards will probably be made.

The History Of Our CAPITOL.

Mr.. ". ". Scott. State Librarian, and
Mr.. W. G.. Stanard. who enjoys quite "A
reputation for his accurate knowledge Of
the antiquities OF the State and city,
have prepared Catalogue OF the Capt.
toll OF Virginia and the Confederate
States" containing a very accurate and
interesting account Of the Public Square
and Buildings and the Statuary. Portraits,
and Curios Therein
There Is every evidence that these gen.
tlemen, both of whom have exceptional
qualifications and facilities for such an
undertaking. have not sighted their work
in any particular. but have prepared an
accurate and an unusually interesting and
instructive pamphlet. wherein every Vir-
ginian will find much information he will
be glad 10 acquire, and which he ought
TO have.
Starting out with a very brief sketch
OF the founding OF the colony and It's
earlier capital cities, az a proper prelimi-
nary. the work begins IN earnest with an
account of the acquisition OF the Public
Square. and its conversion from an old
field, SCARED with gulleys. into the beau
tiful park, OF which We are all justly so
proud.
There are brief biographical sketches of
the worthless whose pictures adorn the
walls OF the Capitol, and the statues OF
Washington, both HOudons ana Craw-
ford's. are treated with elaborate and
historical detail. yet not TOO elaporateiy'
The other works of art and curios are
also faithfully described. though not so
fully as in the case Of the more important
ones.
The account of the building OF the Capt,
toll with extracts from me journal OF
The Directors 81 Public Buildings" never
before published. and from Mr.. Jefferson's
letters. is particularly interesting, ana
many an old Richmonder VIII thank tne

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

The continual dropping of water upon
stone wears 1t away. However wild they
may be by nature. however uninstructed IN
what man has learned and is prepared to
teach, yet it is not possible for enc OF
the wild and woolly" to come 10 Wash
ington and remain there year after year
without having the germ that he calls
his mind sprouted into a commencement
Of growth. This was notably proven last
week by the thing that stands IN the
United States Senate representing in part
the State of Kansas, and called PETER.
II introduced bill directing an issue Of
$500. 100000 United States legal tender
Treasury notes. to be loaned, upon good
security. to States. counties. townships
and other incorporated communities, Snd
to individual citizens.
When PETER came to the Senate he
would have been ready to introduce this
vote for either every hour in the day.
But when he introduced this one he en-
dorsed on it that it was offered 'by re-
quest" Such is. the effect OF hard
knocks. Even PETER has learned some
thing. 1t is not much it is true. hut IT
is as much, perhaps. as divides the intel
ligence Of the fox from the goose.
Examples Of this sort encourage those
who are engaged in well doing and ad-
monish them that they should never

CANDIDATE PEW.

And so we are TO have the honor of
determining whether we are willing to
take the Hon Chauncey VI. Depew at
his own valuation of himself. He has
formally announced that he is in the race
for the Republican nominee for President
OF the United States.
Well. nobody expects much from the
Republican paisy, and it's as likely to
do one thing as another. especially If
a lot of money bags desire the one thing
TO be done, but we predict that bad as
it is 1t Will have too much sense TO
put the Hon. Chauncey up as its candi-
date for President. IL the Republican
party was a minstrel show we should
naturally expect Chauncey TO have the
place Of end-man. Unfortunately. how
ever. that party has in its composition
little of the minstrel. There is no comedy
about il at all il is ali real tragedy when
IL gets its hooks in. III we had king
Chauncey would stand an excellent
chance TO get the place OF Jester at court,
but he would turn 10 king himself.
BY the way. we see it stated that
one of Marylands settlers was named
Shaughnessy. and that his descendants.
who have become numerous. have trans
formed their name into Chauncey. Could
not our funny man arrange TO carry
things backward little and have himself
known as Mr.. Shaughnessy Depew?

MOODF'S RICH MN MYTH.
He Ia Sensitive About Money but the Com
mittee Want to Make Him G'ft.

DR.. Hatcher, In the discussion Of
finances before the Moody committee
Monday afternoon said. in reply TO a
suggestion that a sum Of money should be
given Mr.. Moody FOR his services in
Richmond. that Mr. Moody was very
sensitive on the money question: that
being near TO him while here he thought
he understood him pretty well on the
subject. He said Mr. Moody never touch
ed the wire on financial matters. meaning
that he never had 10 do with the raising
of money for meeting and did not con-
slider himself In connection Herewith.
lie said that the popular report. which
seemed very rife. that Mr.. Moody had
two or three rich men who paid his way
and kept him In funds. was utterly I'M
true. Mr.. Moody said while here that If
anybody wanted 10 give him a lot Of
money they could do so, but he did not
propose TO allow any collection 10 be
taken up.
DR.. Hatcher said Mr.. Moody sought
money for his schools. but not for him
self. and that he thought it would be en-
tirely appropriate for the committee 10
give Mr.. Moody a sum OF money for his
schools. Others favored sending Mr.. Moody
a sum of money without reference 10
any payment for services rendered or the
disposition of the funds.

THE ENEMIES OF THE SOUTH

OF the many men the South has been

of Congress. who are utterly unsound
on most economic questions. we know of
no one more unsound and more danger
ously so than ex-senator Reagan. OF

Congress. This act contains the entire
philosophy of the wrong headed men who
think that human progress comes from
acts OF the law making power, instead
Of from work. and unembarrassed oppo~-
tunity TO men To have entirely free in
tercourse and trade with each oiher.
And the dismal failure of this act ousnt
10 be an object lesson to such people 20

neither good nor prosperous by acts OF

that sort. il is perfectly natural
that Mr.. Reagan should be wrong on
finance also. lie has Just written, and
published in Texas. letter, from which
we make the following extract:
Under such circumstances the ramo-
cracy OF Texas cannot follow MIR. cievc-

10 follow him without consentng to sacri-
fee the Democracy of Texas We cannot
follow the President and his Repuldi-
can associates and the money grabb FRS
OF the East. We cannrt abandon the
principles OF the Democratic party and
sacri:ice the best Interests OF our people
and OF the country. We must preserve
our principles and take care Of cur
interests and we must hold on 10 the or
ganization of the party. IS anybody has
TO leave IT, let II be the President ana
those who. Ike him. agree with the Re-
publican party on these great questions"
This letter is published by Mr.. Reagan
In the hope that he may induce the ap-
preaching Democratic convention Of the
State TO adopt anti-Cleveiand rcsoiI-
tions.
II resolutions such as Mr.. Reagan wish
es to be adopted meant no more than "A
