This country gained it's independence

This country gained It's Independence
by revolution. Students of history are
aware that during the trouble Lord
CORVALLIS came over here and gave
notice to the ''rebels" that if they did
not lay down their arms in eight days
he would put them to fire and sword.
Cornwallis is dead. He has been dead
Il long time, and he will be dead a time
longer. His threat seems to have been
resurrected by Gen. Weyler, the Span
ish officer. lately arrived in Cuba. 1t
seems likely that the Cuban patriots
will make him sick of the saying before
he makes them all kick the bucket.

sewing up legs of trousers, high-topped
boots, seams of shirts, for sewing the
cylindrical part Of collar boxes, for
backstaying shoes and for many other
purposes, and new uses are found for
them every day.
Clothing makers shouted for a ma
chine to make buttonholes, and here is
one that will cut and make $500 to
5000 buttonholes q day. The first ma
chimes did good work in way, but
they did not make buttonholes that
could not be told from the hand made.
No one but an expert can tell the diff
ference between those made by the ma
chine now used and those made by
hand.
The largest sewing machine in the
world is eighteen feet long. 1t is used
and has one needle. 1t is supplied with
corrugated feed rolls which not only
feeds the material to the needle but
compress the canvas layers together.
One of the oldest uses to which a sew
ing machine was everput was for sewing
canvas on wood veneers, used for build
ing light, portable houses. The veneer
is threeply, and to increase it's strength
without adding weight it is backed
with canvas and this canvas is sewed
on.
Then the wood and canvas are soak
ed in mineral paint and dried, and thus
made impervious to water and moisture
proof There are over 800 different
kinds of sewing machines made and
used in this country.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Forcible Collections.

To the State Herald.
 The action of the executive committee of our German-American citizens report ed in the State Herald Tuesday morn ing is timely and no doubt meets the ap- proVal of large majority of the demo- crats of this city who desire to see all organized action relative to municipal politics postponed until after the Novem- Der election, and that when nominations for mayor and aldermen are made that the plans and methods adopted be free from all suspicion of unfairness.
 The committee of five appointed to for mulate and propose such a plan to the city committee was composed of gentle men of high character, intelligence and well known fidelity to the democratic party. After several days consideration and consultation among themselves they reported a plan for the nomination of candidates that at least seems fair to all candidates. This committee was incon- tinently "obsquatulated" and sat down upon and plan adopted by a majority of the executive committee which ap- pears to have aroused the suspicion of a large and very intelligent portion of our citizenship, the German-Americans, and caused no little criticism from other sources that the plan finally adopted was "cut and dried' and intended to promote personal interests. Whether this criti- cism be just or not it has been made.
 The objections presented by the resolu- tion of the German-Amerieans, that the date of the primary, October 6, is too early; that the plans and methods of conducting the same leave several gaps down for the perpetration of fraud, and the city executive committee reconsider it's action are worthy the consideration of that honorable body if it's desire is to have nominations that the voters will cheerfully support.
 Our experience with what the people believe, whether justly or unjustly were unfair methods in the last municipal primary, should have taught lesson not to be forgotten. If mistake has been made it is not too late to correct it. and the city executive committee should take steps to do so at once.

OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD RENoMI-
 MATTED Hft


 The democratic convention of the Ninth Congressional district assembled in this city yesterday and renominated Hon. Os- car W. Underwood to represent this dis trict in the Fifty-fifth congress.
 The removal of Mir. Underwood and the seating of his republican opponent, MT. T. H. Aldrich. is still green in the minds of the democratic voters of the Ninth dis trict. They have stood by and witnessed their honest votes cast aside by repub- lican congress, and on fictitious basis one of their own number placed in office. While their pride and patriotism has been touched by this usurpation of power, like democrats and honored American citi- zens, they have patiently awaited again their turn at the ballot box to convince even their vilest opponents that this is a democratic district, and without resort to vicious or unfair means they will rebuke tn desd with an avalanche of ballots in November next that Tom Reed him self will be forced to acknowledge is the voice not only of the intelligence, but of the Caucasian race, that govern and rule this congressional district
 Hampered as he was, and fighting for the rights of his people and the office to Wnlcn n was elected, no man from Ala bama clustered around him more friends or won more encomiums from the peo- pie and his constituents during his short membership in congress than Oscar W. Underwood. Young, learned, brave. hon est and true. he stood firm for the trust imposed in him by the people he repre- scented.
 Surrounded as he was by republican congress and leaders of his own party who yielded to the wishes of a president who did not voice the sentiment of his party in his convictions on the all inn portant financial issue, Mr. Underwood, in the face of all opposition and influence, pronounced in unmuffied tones his fealty to the cause of silver and the principles of the people whom he had the honor to represent. His speech on this qu;stion was an honor to himself and his district, and whether elected or defeated, it will live in history as monument to his con stituency and his posterity.
 That MT. Underwood will be elected is conceded-that he should be even his bit terest opponents will not deny.
