A Siderable Balloon.

Count Zeppelin, Prussian officer, has
invented a Siderable balloon which can
rise 1, 200 yards, travel eleven miles an
hour, carry two tons, stay up fully a
week, and ascend and descend without
throwing ballast or losing gas. 1t utili-
yes aluminium in the motor and steering
gear, but the principal novelty is Sc
cret preparation, or sizing, making silk
entirely gas tight. The cost of one of
these balloons will be S75, but its
value in time of war as lookout over a
vast range, either by sea or land, will
be incalculable. Nat. Recorder.

Mr., EDITOR In casting around for
some one to represent us in the next Con-
gress we should consider not only his ca
pacity but his chances for election; be-
sides this is an eventful period in our
history and men who are men should a.
lone be trusted; double dealing will not
do, nor does the present politics suit this
class of men. We want man whose
opinions are clear and well defined.
Noxubee, in Offering u candidate to
the convention wants one whose politi-
cal integrity has never been impeached,
who has positive opinions upon all pub
lie measures, and possesses manhood
sufficient to command the respect of
men, and such man is Walter Price.
His services in tho state senate last win
ter won for him the confidence of the
people of this state. In addition to the
native genius Of the man, his natural
proclivities have led him to the study
and investigation Of those principles of
political economy upon which onr sys-
tenn OF government is based. A man Of
the strictest moral, social and political
integrity, his opinions are his own, and
are entertained whether they be popular
or not with marked individuality. Bold
and independent in Thought and action,
he hews to the line; conscious Of right
motive he is always ready to meet the
issue when 1t comes, in short, Walter
Price is man that this county can with
pride offer to the fourth district to rep
resent them in the next congress. The
desire for Mr.. Price to make the race
for Congress seems to be universal. 7-
This call is at the instance of large
number of our best citizens, with the
hope that it win meet with favorable
answer. NoxUBEE.

In recent letter to a Brooklyn Re-
publican club, John Sherman takes the
liberty to give Major McKinley's posi-
ton on the financial question. 1t GER
tainly does not read much like the finan-
cial plank of the Ohio platform, Tho
he may have written advisedly, it is pos
sible that Sherman may be using little
strategy to trip Mckinley. In the let
ter Sherman says:
There can be no doubt as to the o.
pinion Of Maj. Mckinley on the money
question. He is committed in every
form, every speech and otherwise, to
the Republican policy Of maintaining
the present gold coin of the United States
as the standard of value. He, in com
mon with myself and others, believes
that silver should be employed as mon
ey, always, however to be maintained
at par with gold. The convenience of
silver coins for the minor transactions
Of life is so manifest that no sound mon
ely man would desil it's discontinuance,
but upon the primary condition that its
coinage should be limited and its pur-
chasing power maintained by the fiat of
the Government at par with gold. -
