Manson in the Race to StGU

Tuesday evenings Scimitar con-
tains the following:
Now that arrangements have been
made by the democrats of Shell
by county to nominate the choice of
the party for the various county of
fees, attention has already shifted
to the next big event on the card,
namely, the Congressional race.
The Congressional Committee is not
expected to meet for some time to
come, possibly after the Shell
by county primaries have been held.
Some effort has been made by the
silver people to question the pre-
dominance of the gold sentiment in
the Congressional Committee, but
they have amounted to nothing and
it cannot now be seen where any
inharmony can be injected into the
committees deliberation. The
Scimitar's announcement a couple
of days ago to the effect that Al
bert McNeal was being doomed by
Ills lIltuuS III tue COuulI1 QlSlT1ClS
as the free silver choice for the
Congressional race merely made
public a fact that was very well
known among those who are on the
inside of free silver politics.. 1t
does not appear that McNeal is par
ticularly anxious to make the race
or that Manson will get off of the
track in case he decides to come
out. Mr.. Manson is now in town
and speaking of the situation this
morning, he intimated that he would
not be bluffed by the enthusiasm
which has been shown IN certain
quarters for Capt. Albert McNeal.
He says that lie has talked with
Capt. McNeal and that the latter
has told him that he would not be a
candidate. Mr.. Manson SAYS fur.
ther that he will not be ont of the
race until he is turned down in favor
of Josiah Patterson by the action
of the party in the Tenth District.

has asserted that injurious
laws were passed prior to
1873, that its name will, by
the other 16 to / papers, be
stricken from the list, for
such journals would have the
people believe that misery,
woe and untold hardships"
were at no time experienced
before 1873. But the TeIe-
gram seems to be in a dilem-
MA. 1t assigns as the cause
of the average price of cot
ton being greater for the %
years from 1878 than for the
% years from 1887 to an in
crease in the usages Of that
staple, and caps the climax
by asking the question,
Will their (the farmers') pro-
duce be enhanced under the
gold standard? 1t admits
that the average price of cot
ton was greater for the %
years mentioned than for the
% consecutive years since
1887, when they say that
gold was the standard, and
yet the Telegram, while as
cribing the increase to an
extension of the usages of
cotton, at the same time asks
how the farmers products can
be enhanced under the gold
standard? With the Tele-
gram it seems to be a case OF
you will be damned if you
do and damned if you don't.
If the greater use Of cotton
causes an increase in price,
to be consistent the Telegram
should advocate a yet great
er extension of its varied
usages; and if its average
price was greater from 1878
to 1895, under the gold stan
dard, than from 1887 to
1860, under what is falsely
termed the double standard
why should the gold STAN
dard be charged with caus-
ing misery, woe and hard
ships? But the Telegram
charges the BULLETIN with
advocating republican doc
trine. This paper is an adj
vocate of the same princi-
pies accepted, and defended
; by Grover Cleveland, the only
person indicted into the of
fee of president since the
war, whose views on the fl,
/ nanclaI question were known
4 before his nomination and
election; and if he held re-
publican views, it is indeed
strange that he was nomina-
ted by the democratic party
for the highest Office within
it's gift. Since then a change
has taken place but not un.

TIE Hardeman Telegram

The Hardeman kilograms
reply to the BULLETIN is so
indefinite as to cause doubt
concerning its version Of
what is necessary and desira-
BILE. il admits that panics
occurred in this country
prior to 1873, and attributes
as the cause bad legislation,
while seemingly it is of the
opinion that the average in
crease in the price of cotton
from 1873 to 1895 as compar-
ed with that from 1887 to 1860
is the result of the numer-
Gus ways in which the staple
is utilized. As this is the
first Instance that the BULLE-
TIN has any knowledge of a
free silver journal claiming
that unjust laws were enact
ed before 1873 and as no spe-
cific allusion is made to the
laws in question, the public
can only speculate. 1t is the
custom of all 16 to l Jour-
nails to allude to that period
from the declaration of indie
pendence down to 1873, as
being unsurpassed as an era
of prosperity. It is therefore

tor Of the Reporter and Fal~
con, of Somerville, week be-
fore last, seems to have raised
his dander. Here is all that we
said:
''The Somervi Re- Reporter and
Falcon seems to think that Col.
Patterson should Withdraw from
the race for Congress because Fay
cite county declared for free silver.
If we are not badly mistaken, the
editor of the Reporter and Falcon
is a defeated candidate for postmas-
ter of Somerville."
The Reporter and Falcon
comes back in a lengthy arti-
Gle charact erizing the above
as small and contemplate;
admits that he got left for
postmaster, and attributes it
to Patterson's falsity; reminds
us that after he got left for
postmaster he supported by
his vote and through his pa
per Col. Patterson for Con-
gress. As an exchange, the
BULLETIN values the Reporter
and Falcon, and we never
fail to peruse its columns
closely. We are we'll aware
of the fact that the Reporter
and Falcon contained edito-
rails in behalf of Patterson
before his nomination and for
a short time after his cleo
ton. We did not credit the
present editor with any of
those editorials, however,
but gave credit to whom we
thoughtcredit due, viz: Hon.
J. II. Dortch, for since his
withdrawal, few editorials of
any kind have appeared in
the Reporter and Falcon.
Since the recent convention
in Fayette, declaring for
free silver, the editor of the
Reporter and Falcon COM
plains and appears very much
astonished that his position
on the great question of fl
nance was not understood.
Now, to be just with your
readers, and yet plain with
you, how in the name of all
that is peaceable and holy
could any one judge your
position when you did not
write, within our recollec-
ton, a single editorial sta
ting positively and unequiv=
Ocally your position on fl
nance? Ifyou did, in what
issue? True, we have noticed
clippings in your paper taken
from free silver journals, but
nothing positive from your
own pen. An editor is sup
posed to have views of his
own, and upon public ques-
tions to take the lead and ex-
press himself clearly. Dom

Soon after the election numerous

to close down. The fact is the people,
the producers and consumers, have
nothing with. which to purchase the
output of the mills. Thefarmers have
no market except for their wheat, and
since they are the foundation of all
prosperity, the wheels OF commerce
are blocked, and will remain idle,- un-
til the farmers can be made more pros
porous, that is until they are given a
market for every article they raise at
fair prices. Possibly if the result OF
the election had been different, and in
Consequence all the silver mines of the
West hsd begun operations, employ
ing hundreds of thousands Of men,
things would have been different.
The farmers would have found market
for their products in the mines, and
would have become larger consumers
of manufactured articles; these miners
would have become consumers not
only of farm products but of the output
of factories: the manufacturers would
have. in turn been able to have kept
their wheels in moLion, and possibly
the business failures for tho second
week of December would have shown
falling off. We might under those cir-
cumstances have had real prosperity
which we certainly have not now.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

Since the canal and locks at the
Cascades have teen completed, the
next II after to be- cor sidered in the
way of river improvement on the Col
umbia is the removal of obstruc-
tions to navigation between this place
and the open river above Cello. The
engineers of the war department have
determined that this improvement
shall consist Of a ship railway, con-
trivance which many believe to be
impracticable on account of the cost
of operating it. which is estimated by
those who pretend to know, will be
about 100000 a year.
Why ship railway was determined
upon has never been explained, and
has been a wonder to many. since the
topography of the country is such as
to make it evident that canal and
locks could be built at a comparative
light expense. From the big eddy 60
the still water above the dalles rapids
there is natural channel on this side
of the river through which the water
runs at high stages, and to convert it
into a canal would require butfa small
amount of blasting. There would be
no necessity for any n ason work as
the canal thus cons tructed would have
natural walls. and only two lock gates
would be needed. Then at Cello falls
nature has provided well for the build
ing OF a canal on the Washington side
that would need be only ahont 1000
feet in length. and two lock gates
would be all that this canal would re-
quire. With such improvements as
these. thecost of passing boats through
would be very light, whereas much eX-
pense must be attached TO operating
ship railway sixteen miles in length,
to say nothing of the possible damage
to vessels in taking them out of the
water and carrying them overland
that distance.
However, since the government en-
gineers have determined upon ship
railway, it is not probable that their
plans will be changed, especially after
action has been begun to condemn the
right of way. Nevertheless it appears
that canal and locks would be the
most reasonable method, and least ex-
pensiye in the long run, of overcoming
the distractions to navigation between
here and Cello.

NEW USES FOR TURF.
% Il Now Made Into Paper, and Ais
Into Cloth.

70 Ii Now Made Into Paper, and Also
Into Cloth.
{ Paper is being manufactured from
straw, wood, corn stalks and innumer-
able other articles. Now NJ. Beau
mont, Frenchman, comes forward and
proposes TO employ turf in the manu-
facture of fabrics, and th;:S, zoo, with
ont previous spinning. Among the
methods said to be practical for this
purpose, one consists in taking turf OBJ
tained and prepared by any convenient
process, and of staote of fiber suitable
for working, and twisting it either by
rowing or rolling, SO as to give it the
appearance of q coarse cord, and this
rove is afterward woven SO as to form
fabric of it adapted for use as carpet
ing, jacketing for steam pipes and boil
ers, packing cloth, etc.
Another method consists in forming
with the fibers of turf sort Of wad-
ding Of any thickness whatever,
adapted to che kind of fabric to be
produced, and then quilting it so as to
form squares or any kind of designs,
or figures, or even without symmetry
or regularity; this quilting firmly unites
the constituent fibers of the wadding,
converting the latter into q true cloth,
which is both thick and flexible. and
adapted for use in the manufacture et
ssvsrs Of all kinds. wrappers, etc.
