Holmes, who is charged with whole

trial for the killing Of b. F. Pietzel,
although deprived of writing material
and in spite of every precaution taken
to prevent his communication with
anyone outside, has written what pur-
ports to be a sketch of his career on
the margins of books in the solitude Of
his cell, and has succeeded in getting
1t Struggled outside and sent to print
ers. This is part Of a deep-laid
scheme of Holmes.
during his travels throughout the
country he a had business and social
relations with many persons of un-
doubted respectability. He has with
unusual cunning kept a record Of all
these transactions. The major por-
ton OF these friendships were I'M

New York Legislature Meets.

ALBANY, Jan. 2.-The State Leg
lslature will assemble today. The
candidates for speakerships have
been in the city for the past week,
canvassing the early arrivals. 1t
is expected that Governor Morton
in his first message will advocate
the blanket ballot, without a pas
ter, as Is now in use in Massachu-
sets. He will make suggestions
looking to the establishment OF
an official record for himself as a
financier and an economist. He
will ask for the abolition or COM
biuing of several State officers the
expenses of which are large; will
call for a more rigid set Of civil
service laws, and may ask for the
revision of the excise laws. Under
the new constitution many OF the
abuses that now exist will have to
be cured by legislation even II the
LeXow Committee does not report
in favor of their abolition. Nearly
all the cities of the State will ask
Legislation to perfect their charters
under the new constitution, and
the canal men will ask for large
appropriation for the deepening OF
the Erie Canal.

SMALL BROs.' VENTURE.

j. D. Small Conducting q Big Cattle
Feeding Concern at Atchisou.
Small Bros, stockmen, of Topeka, and
who have a ranch in jackson county, are
at the head of Atchison Live Stock com
pany, of Atchison. J. D. Small, who has
lived on Tyler street, has gone to Atchi-
son to take charge of the business there
The old Howell Jewett Lumber COM
pany yards, consisting of 2316 acros, has
been purchased. 1t is the purpose of
the company to use it for a feed yard,
where cattle described in market reports
as stockers and feeders will be prepared
for market. The yard has been divided
into three big pens, which will accom-
modate from twelve hundred to fifteen
hundred head of cattle. The old sash
and door building has been turned into
an immense feed mill, which will be
propelled by electric power.

land. He has been turned down, repudi-
ated, and his opinions have no weight
with his own party or any other. No
question of party advantage should pre-
vent the Republicans in congress from
discharging their full duty to the people.
The Democratic congress which was in
session during the presidency of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes did not fold its hands and
wait for a Democratic president, but
made an attempt to give the country the
legislation demanded. Il did not pass a
free coinage law, but it passed the Bland
law, and when the Republican president
vetoed it congress promptly passed it
over his veto. Waiting for full control
of the government is SO uncertain, es-
pecially if something is not done by the
party with that ambition to merit it in
the meantime. If the Republicans want
the presidency they should do something
to earn it.

ment. It has since expended over 49,.
coo, 900 on the great canal, and now
navigation is secure from Chattanooga
to the Ohio. Above the city are 500
miles of river and tributaries navigable
only in tho winter and spring for ordi-
nary boats. So Chattanooga complacent-
1y considers herself "as good as a sea-
port. " OF course the geological forma-
ton pays no attention to the course Of
the river. The great axes maintain
their Uniform southwest course while
the stream wriggles its way through
them at the weakest points, the result
being some inspiring scenery and many
of the &randest rock exposures in the
world.
It was at Bridgeport that I first felt
the enthusiasm of the amateur geologist.
Near there l could stand on a command
ing point, and looking across the Ten
nessee could see on the south side vast
titanic arch of that Niagara limestone
which maintains a nearly continuous
upheava1 from the Ohio far into Alaba-
ma. It was as if a mountain consisting
of one great and regular fold like an in
verified U had been split to the base and
the northern part removed to give the
student a complete view of natures
methods. The arch seen at that distance
seems almost as regular as masonry,
and could gaze upon it for hours with
a pleasure all the greater for my igno-
rance at that time.
The annual foods Of know not how
many million years have covered all
the lower part of the great valley with
alluvion. There are no stones to speak
of on the surface, and one arriving at
the edge of the valley finds the steep
and rocky mountain rising abruptly from
a level field of almost inexhaustib1e fer
tility. There is no gradual change from
low valley to mountain pasture as in
New York, and the corn row often ter
inmates at a wall Of rock. The residents
claim that this formation gives them
complete immunity from tornadoes, sud-
den changes of temperature, severe
storms and several other ills, and while
the site of Chattanooga is not quite 700
feet above sea level they claim for it the
equable average of mountain vale in
latitude of warmth. They also have
much to say about the run of mountains
and valleys bringing everything down
hill and to a center at this place, but of
NIL this know nothing by experience.

turers complain bitterly that Americans
are now using the wood recklessly and
flooding tho worlds markets with an
inferior grade of pencils. Americans al
ways do use their raw materials reck-
lessly, trusting that something will be
invented to take their place by the time
they are exhausted, and SO suppose the
foreigners are correct in this charge. A
wood pulp mill has just started, and
there are several minor industries. Story
writing can hardly be called an indus
try, but what vast field, what a fund
of materials for romance, is found in
the facts I have related and their close
relations with the civil wari In every
valley and mineral district for 400 miles
along the Tennessee are hundreds of
men who marched and fought as FEEDER
ais some 30 years ago over the very
ground they now own or work. ] often
meet veterans who tell me they are now
operating" where they secuted or stood
picket in 1864, and that they often sit
on the rocks where they then rested and
muse on the changes. And some of
these men known to me in the olden
time and not suspected OF any great
learning can now talk you blind OH

A Veteran Editor.
A jolly veteran indeed among the en-
thusiasts is Colonel J. E. Macowan,
chief editorial writer on the Chattanoo-
ga Times, who, in his own language,
'came into the valley with Burnside
and has never been able to get away. ="
He began his military career as captain
in the One Hundred and Eleventh Ohio
infantry. and there seemed to be luck
in that very odd number. as he came
out brevet brigadier, is fairly prosper
Gus, leader of thought and lives in
great comfort on Missionary ridge. The
Times is independent Democratic and
almost fanaticalIy devoted to the gold
standard, but politics as between editors
is not SO hot and polemical here as far
Their north. It is estimated that veterans
of the Federal army in this city out
number those Of the Confederates near
~ three to one. In 1864 the regiment in
which served a short time "held the
fort'' on the big red hill rising from the
Tennessee at Bridgeport, few miles
west of here, and disma1ly barren
place we thought it. Now most Of the
ground is owned by Federal veteran,
and from that hill one can see the
smoke CT several iron furnaces. In fact,
the Tennessee valley all the way across
Alabama is, I am told, completely trans
formed i'll population since the war.
All who followed, by reading the pa
pers, the movements of the Army of the
Cumberland remember what treacher-
ous and disappointing river the Tonnes
see was. Ocr fellows swept southwark

Why should the government pay the
freight on shipments of gold for the ben
