Cotton Growers Fear the Danger of "a
War with Spain.

MEMPHIS, Tenn Dec. ia petition to
United States Senators Harris and Bate urg-
ing them to exert their influence against the
Cameron resolution was circulated here today
among the cotton growers, and received the
signatures of many of the influential
planters of this section. The position re-
cites that the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence would probably bring on a war
with Spain and adds I'VE feel that war with
Spain inevitably means a further large de-
cline in the price of cotton, not only on this
crop, but also for the next one and tina,
there is no adequate reason why such
misfortune should be brought upon US"

MAY BE TALKED TO DEATH.


A gentleman Who stands very close to
Speaker Reed, and is acquainted with the
speakers views- ar the question said today
1T is highly improbable that the Cameron
resolution will-pyss the senate, because there
is strong opposition TO it by several senators
and II can be talked to death If it was
brought before the house 1t would be passed
by strong majority because many members
would vote against their own judgment in
Difference to YdHst they believe to be the
public sentimeGIc0f their constituents. The
resolution will not be given time in the
house, nor any other resolution to recognize
Cuba, unless thereshould be some change in
the situation which would more certainly
Justify nterterSIes by this government. 1t
is possible thag4the question would be raised
in the house E9d Riyileged matter by some
HOOK, hook or cryool$sPggh ! do not see how that
Messrs. Hitt, Draper and Adams, the mem
bers oil the subsonmittee on Cuba, are all
opposed to action ;at this time, and three
members at least, who voted for recognition
OF belligerency are now opposed to rCcognl-
tion OF Independence.
Mr.. Dingley of Maine, who stands next to
the speaker in the leadership OF the house

II am a working man like you," said
Orator Cleugh, Saturday night. Il claim
to be true friend of the laboring man
honestly, do, gentlemen. John Lind
is no true friend of labor like I be. John
Lind can't do nothing except ridicule
me. That's all he done in his speech last
night at the Exposition was to make fun
Of me. John Lind says I give away

Then some cruel Lind man called tor
the letter and the governor couldn't pro-
duce it.
II tell you," the governor went on.
'that am going to defendmyself. Don't
you worry. y They say I'm too
ignorant to do it and have to hire Tams
sBlxby 10 do it for me. Do I look like a
man who can't defend himself9 Look at
me-"
All the same the governor should have
taken Tams' advice and mot open your
head,'' in the campaign.
The governors concluding flight of Or
atory was this.

IN D,

Mr.. Lind has certainly been elected
governor. The returns are slow IN com.
ing In, but in nearly every precinct
Clough has run far behind IIcKinlev and
Lind far ahead of Bryan. The cities and
villages, which. were the first to be heard
from, gave Mckinley of course tremen-
dous majority but there is no doubt that
this will be decreased as the rural dis
tricts are reported. At seven o'clock last
evening, over one half of the counties
had been partiyHy heard from and they
gave Mckinley plurality of 31.1O5 while
Clough led Lind by only 5,2O6. To judge
from these indications, Lind is elected.
The outcome is being awaited with
tremendous interest.
Lind carried H:nnepin c',',nty by
$3.50.
National Committeeman O'Brien tele-
graphed this morning that there was no
doubt Of Lind's election.
The last returns indicate Lind's cleo
ton by over 5000. The outside coun-
tries are rolling up larger majorities for
lin than was expected "a hours ago.
The complete returns from 80 counties
give Lind 5000 votes more than were
cast for Owen and Becker two years ago

.eu .aCCuseu " having sOTD1u ana selfish mo-

Some of his good New Ulm friends al
so--those who would be glad to spend
any amount of money to beat him
urged their neighbors to vote against Mr..
Lind because New Ulm could not afford
to lose him. For barefaced hypocrisy,
this takes the pers1mmons.
An effort was also made to influence
the voters of New Ulm by flooding the
town with the speeches of DR.. A. 4.
Ames, charging Lind with being the can
dldate OF Washburn, instead of the peo-
pie. 1t seems to be easy for some peo-
pie to lie and resort to dirty work when
1t would lie convenient to behave them
selves.

Mining Sulphur With Hot Water.

For many years vain attempts have
been made to get at 4 great deposit Of
sulphur lying 400 feet underground in
C~alcasieu, La. The difficulty arose from
the fact that above the sulphur lies a
quicksand 100 feet deep. A few years
ago the plan was tried of freezing the
quicksand by means of refrigerating ap-
paratus, and then boring through it, but
the undertaking failed. Recently it was
decided to try melting the sulphur and
pumping it up, and this method has
proved successful. Superheated water
is forced down a ten inch pipe leading
through the quicksand into the sulphur.
The melted sulphur mingled with water
Is then pumped up through another pipe
and exposed to the air until the water
evaposatcs, leaving the sulphur in a
nearly pnre form.-Youtl's Companion
