Correspondence Sea Coast Echo
The deluge of useless and un-
welcome gifts to the president has
begun. He has already received
big dog, u model of n boat and
a long wooden cable chain with
an anchor attached. The dog
Moscow is really fine speciman
Of the st. Bernard breed and is
much admired blythe president.
Mr.. Porter, the presidents pri-
vate secretary is anxious that the
impression shall not get abroad
that the president is n dog finan-
cier, and that Moscow who fully
weighs $50 pounds satisfies his
love for the canine race. The
boat model was presented by ex-
Governor Pinchback of Louisiana
and is the work of a colored cabi-
net maker of that state 1t requir-
ed four men to carry it. The
donor expressly states that he is
nota candidate for any office. The
president wants it understood
that while.he is steering the ship
OF state he doesn't really need any
more than one boat model. Re-
preventative Grosvenor presented
the chain On behalf of the maker,
but he could not guarantee that
the donor was not an applicant
for office as he was an Ohio man.
Two bills introduced into the
senate this week caused consider
able laughter. One introduced by
Mr.. White for the relief of one
william J. Bryan. The humc.s,v1
this occurred to everybody ~ o'
and there was. a ...syst oiss1'at once

'ee; J5-ssIe senator's and the people
in the galleries. Senator Faulk-
ner an ardent Bryan supporter,
was presiding officer at the time
and he was paralyzed for a minute
but soon raped vigorously foi
order. The bill, of course, was
not for the relief of the defeated
candidate, but for postmaster OF
San Francisco.
| The other bill was introduced d
by Senator Stewart whose home is
in Carson City, Nevada, the scene
of the recent big fight. This bill
was for the relief of one Corbett
and as it was introduced just after
Mr.. Corbett was put out by Fitz-
simmons, the appropriateness
struck everybody and there was {
ripple of amusement over tn,
senate. The bill was for the reliel
of an old soldier.
AT the capitol the politica
world is talking over The defeat il
the house of representatives OF
the Bryan division of the demo
cratic party. Mr.. Nc Millin anc
Mr.. Bailey were candidates foI
the democratic caucus nominatio,
for speaker, MI. McMillin bein,
endorsed by Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bal
ley is anything but an admirer O.
Mr.. Bryan. He does not consid
or him a good democrat and al
but bolted his nomination fo.
president. During the campaign
Mr.. Bailey did not endorse Bryar
although he did stump for hi
party. While both men are 70,
free silver, Mr.. Bailey is opposed
to the leadership of Mr.. Bryar
while Mr.. McA1illin is strongly il
favor of it. The undercurrent 0.
feeling among the democrats a
the capitol, though as yet Il i
not openly expressed, is that tn,
bare thread Of Organism will keer
democrats divided, and will ena
bic republicans to remain in pow
er. Hence Mr.. Bailey's election
is taken as the first victory.

A Mrs. Bradford, great Colorado
lecturer is in the state for the pur-
pose Of agitating the question of wo-
man suffrage. She is arranging
plans for woman suffrage convcn-
tion to be held 10 this city some time
during April. 1t is not known vet
what time the convention will be
held nor how many woman in the
great state Of Mississippi who will
take part in It's deliberations. While
we. know some Of Mississippi's noble
daughters will be delighted with this,
yet we think the question will bs a
very hard one in which to arouse
much enthusiasm. II will take a
constitutional amendment TO have
such a law in Mississippi, and we
think it will be many years before
Mississippi's women will march up
to the ballot box and cast their votes.
It is well known fact that Jackson
is not woman suffrage city, but the
citizens will welcome the convention
and watch its deliberations with much
interest.

AUTOMATIC cAR c0rPLERS.


One of the proceedings of the last meet
ing of the Western Passenger association
was the appointment of committee of
five of the most prominent western rail
road managers to go to Washington to
secure If possible from congress an eX-
tension of the time allowed for the equip
ment of all railway cars with automatic
couplers and safety brakes. AS the date
for the penalties to accrue under the
Nebraska law on the same subject was
once extended from January l., 1895, to
January 1. 1885, on the plea that it
visions of the law enacted by congress-
it is not improbable that the railroads
operating in this state will seek Il second
extension, to correspond with the pro-
posed action of congress.
While Nebraska was one of the pio-
signed to put stop to the annual
slaughter of railway employees by re-
quiring cars used in the state to be fitted
with modern automatic appliances, very
little has thus far been accomplished.
and the railway employee is still exposed
to the dangers of hand coupling and
braking. The original law was passed
in 1891, and gave the railroads four years
to comply with its provisions. The law
went into effect January l, 1895 and for
three months was openly disregarded by
the railroads, while an extension bill was
pushed through the legislature giving
them three years more for their prepare
tons Two of those three years have
passed, but the day of universal auto
matte couplers and brakes have not yet
arrived.
There is no good reason why either
congress or the legislature should again
postpone the enforcement of a law adj
mitted by all to be just and necessary.
but which will probably never be OBJ
served until the penalties begin to run
and few convictions are had for it's
violation. If the railway managers per-
sist in unconcern at the continued sacri.
flee of human life on their roads, they
can be brought to a realization of it
quickest only by making 1t more eXpen-
sive to let things run on, as at present,
than to provide the new equipment on
all of their cars and engines.

Latest reliable reports from the India
famine district are to the effect that the
distress and suffering among the III
habitants have been greatly exaggerated
i'm the accounts sent to European and
American newspapers and that the situa-
ton is far from alarming. 1t is certainly
sincerely to be hoped that this is true
and it is easy to believe that the trouble
has been magnified. Every one remem-
bers how efforts to secure assistance for
Nebraska drouth sufferers were made
through gross misrepresentation and
piteous pictures of imaginary cases OF
starvation. The tendency everywhere
when making a plea for help, is to put ii
i'm the strongest possible light, and for
that reason the public is generally
tempted to discount it.

ceivable justification for this conduct or
want OF conduct of that body is that the
members feel that dignified and important
as the post of sergeant at-arms is and ought
to be, 1t Is by no means magnificent enough
to be worthy OF a man with the name of
Rev Ephraim Newman. Besides, the Okla
Romans are warlike race and the Okla
homa legislature is capable of vehement
battle. Its sergeant-at-arms should be no
man OF peace, as Rev. Ephraim Newman
presumably Is.

the ratification of the treaty when they

CONVENTION OF MANUFACTuRgRs

The second annual convention of the
National Association of Manufacturers
will be held in Philadelphia this week
and the gathering is justly regarded as
of great Importance to the vast interests
that will be represented. The associa-
ton Is national in its character, the dele
gates to the convention will represent
all the leading manufacturing interests
of the country, and the subjects to be
considered are of national concern. We
shall learn from the deliberations what
the practical men who manage the great
industrial enterprises of the country
think of the outlook and what they re-
gard as the right policy TO be pursued in
order to restore general prosperity.
A leading purpose of this association
is to promote foreign trade and it has
done valuable work in this direction dur
ing the past year. Agents of the associa-
ton have been at work in Europe, South
Africa. Japan, Mexico, South Amer
lea and other foreign countries,
and their Investigations have al
ready had important results. The eX-
tension of foreign trade is n matter of
vital concern to our manufacturing inter-
eSts and this is fully reali2ed by the
National Association of Manufacturers.
The enormous productive capacity of our
Industries, largely exceeding the de.
mnnds Of our own people under the most
favorable conditions. requires other mar
kets in order that they shall be kept in
constant operation. Restricted to the
wants Of the home market, with the in
evltable foreign competition, there must
come periodical curtailment of produc-
ton, TO the detliment both of the capital
invested and the labor employed In these
industries. Two or three years of
full production will be followed
by n more or less extended
period of reduced activity. This
has been the uniform experience and nj

Strange how in the eyes of the railway
managers all Legislative measures in
tended to limit the roads liability for
damages to trespassers and to protect
them from tramps and thieves are good
bills that ought to become law while all
measures designed to force common car
riers to give the public adequate service
at reasonable rates are bad in them
selves and if enacted would mean ruin
and confiscation for the roads. 1t makes
a heap of difference which end of the
glass is to the eye.
