We used to think that Goddard,
of the "Maryville Timesm and
Montgomery, of the "Sevierville
Star" was two of the meanest
newspaper men in the state, but we
believe now we was wrong, on
closer acquaintance we found them
to be clever gentleman.--Rock-
wood Times.
We thank the Major for his kind
remark and wish to say that while
we may not be able to agree with
him in all things, we know he is one
of the best Editors we have in East
Tennessee. He has a clear head
and a sharp pen AS we well know.
He has been in the country news
paper business for many years and
has learned where the thorny
places are by experience and as he
is the oldest man In the East Tenn
essee Press Association he was
listened to with respect by the
younger men and we may say and
cell the truth that his suggestions
were Away good and to the point.
The. Major is man one cannot
help liking personally and is a
prince Of good fellows on pleasure
"trip. This much from the stand
point of friendship. But we wish
to say that while an editor can
aaave friends and do them any good
G,e can in a personal way, we be-
lieve that paper should have no
pets and no matter how much
personal friendship exists between
the editor and another, when there
is something comes up which con-
cerns the public welfare the editor
should be fearless although he
crosses the opinions of his best
friends. We stand upon this plat
form because we believe it is right.

The Rev. Ira Hicks, the weather
prophet of st. Louis, says that
there viii be no more tOrnadoes
this season. GAS showing that Mr..
Hicks knows whereof he speaks"
says "The st. Louis STAR" ait is
only necessary to say that in his
almanac published last October he
predicted great wind storms during
May, and advised people to make
preparations for some place to seek
safety. Then again, on April IA, in
his paper, Words and Works. he
predicted the very day OF the greas
~yclone i1'Texas, which occurred
ssn May 10, and said that the great
sest period of disturbance would be
from May % to q. All these pre-
elections were verified"

PoITlCS AT WASHINGTON.


Every train that has left Wash
ingt0n for st. Louis since the ad-
journment of Congress has been
crowded with Republican Senators
and Representatives ell route to
the convention, and nearly every
man Of them expresses The utmost
confidence that the convention is
going to do the right thing, both as
to candidates and platform. If the
sentiment Of the convention is the
same AS that of most republicans
in Congress there is no doubt OF the
nature of the financial plank of the
platform that will be adopted; 1t
will be only question of how. the
old republican policy of true
bimetallism shall be expressed.
There was a general disposition
among republicans to smile when
it was announced early this week
that a member of the cabinet had
said that Mr.. Cleveland would
support the republican ticket if the
platform adopted at st. Louis con-
tanned a gold standard plank. The
object of the announcement was
payable to all, but 1t will have no
effect upon the convention. The
republican party has never been u
single idea organization and there
isn't the slightest danger of its be-
coming such.
Delegates Catron, Of Ney Mexico,
had the pleasure before Congress
adjourned OF presenting strong
report to the House, from the COM
miltee on Territories, in favor of
the bill admitting New Mexico to
statehood. The report recalls the
fact that as long ago as tho Forty
third Congress bill for the admis-
sion of New Mexico to the Union
passed both branches of Congress,
but was hung up because of q SEN
ate amendment upon which the
House did not have time to act.
Mr.. Catron is confident that the
bill will 60 through all right at the
short session of Congress.
The Indian bill as finally agreed
to, limits government aid to Sec
tartan Indian schools to the fiscal
Iyear beginning July l, next, and
1 provides that the money appropri-
ated shall be as far as may be
equally proportioned among the
Indian schools of all denomi-
nations.
The report OF the House Ways
and Means committee on the dang.
er of japanese competition in oul
markets is an interesting docu.
ment. The committee does not
think there is any immediate dan
ger from that quarter, and say that
when there is 1t can be easily
warded off by the same policy
which between 1861 and 1s9;
proved so effective against the
products of poorly paid European
labor-a protective tariff with duties
high enough to make up for the
difference in wages paid in foreign
countries and in the United States

Republican Summary.

During the week ending Saturday

conventions were held and 1877 more
delegates were elected.

canvass now claim that his rerOmina-
ton Is assured, as they claim 487

ment given out by the Morrill, mana
gers claims 4S7 for Morrill, and con
cedes 125 to the combined opposition
and places Is in the doubtful column.
Secretary BristOw says in regard to
the above claim:
This Information is collected from
sources that are absolutely authentic
and reliable There will be $50 dele

necessary to nominate. Governor Nor

TO BEGIN NEXT week.
The First Pile Driver For the
Bridge Construction
Photographed For and Will Ar
rive From Council Bluffs.
How the Work Will be Carried On
Will Employ 1875 Men-

The sale OF the bridge bonds to the
state school fund commissioners as
sures a new MeIan arch bridge for To-
peka. It is now only a question of
time.
w. H. Keepers. the contractor, has
telegraphed to Council Bluffs for the
pile driver which his firm has been
using there and it will be sent to To-
peka at once. He figures that work
will be commenced some time next
week.
The contractor will first drive the
piles upon which the old bridge will be
placed to take care of the travel while
the new bridge is being built Mr.. Keep
ers says that it will probably not re-
quire more than two weeks after the
pile driver is put to work to get the old
bridge out OF the way
After the old bridge is removed work
will be commenced on the new bridge.
The first thing to be done will be to
make the excavations for the piers. The
excavations viii be made about eigh-
teen and a half feet in depth and then
piles viii be driven in the bottom. The
excavation Will then be filled with con
crete up to below the low water line.
After one has been completed in this
manner the working force will move to
the next, and so on until the six toun-
5atiOns for piers are completed
The greater amount of the cost of the
bridge is for labor and stone and Mr..
Keepers assured a Journal reporter that
both would be secured in Topeka. The
cement, piles and steel beams which are
to be used in the arches are all that
viii come from outside OF the county
The bridge will practically be home
production, made by Topeka IaborerS,
and but little money will be spent out
side the county.
Mr.. Keepers says that from 100 to 125
men will be employed on the work
There Will be eight or ten different
gangs at work all the time, each under
the direction Of a superintendent.
AS much work as possible will be done
this fan and there will be no danger of
high water. When the rise comes next
spring. the bridge will be out Of the way
of high water and if we have an open
winter it may be completed before that
time. Mr. Keepers says that the work
can be carried on during reasonably
treme1y cold the work will have to be
suspended
There will be five arches in the bridge
and when it is completed it will be the
largest structure of the kind in the
United States.
Mr.. Keepers is building the next
largest bridge of the kind at Passaic,
N j. which will consist of three spans
of So feet each.
The bridge will be considerably
shorter than the present structure. A
ill of about 100 feet will be made on the
north side of the river. For this pur-
pose the island in the middle of the
river, which is now used by sign board
artists and bill board advertisers viii be
dug away.
The entire bridge will be built Of con
crete with the exception of the steel
beams which will form the arches
When it is completed Topeka will have
one of the most beautiful and s0bstan-
tial bridges in the United States.

COTTON CROP IN DANGER.
Rain Has Proved an Injury in Texas
Crop Short.

Houston, Texas, Aug. 1.-Two weeks
ago showers fell in nearly every sec
ton of Texas and it was thought that
the cotton crop would be equal to the
famous three million season. The show
ers, however, have proven to be disas-
trous instead of beneficial. The heavy
dew, the rust and the cotton louise have
has fallen in two weeks and the heat
has been intense causing the boIIs to
prematurely open and shed.
The Associated Press representative
has received replies from nearly 1000
points in the state. Seventy-ffve per
cent of these replies show that the con-
dftion of cotton is extremely precari-
Gus. It can safely be said that the
crop is % per cent short and on an aV
erage 20 days earlier than usual and
unless rain falls within five days the
crop will be cut short 30 per cent.
