PROGRESS ON THE BRIDGE.
Supt. Hinck1ey Says Foundations for
Bridge Piers Will be Solid.

superintendent Hinckley of the new
bridge says that it will not be necessa-
~ to drive extra piles in any more
of the piers for the bridge, and that re-
moves a serious point of contention be-
tween the bridge contractors and the
county commissioners.
When the excavation for the south
pier was made it was found that the
bottom was SO insecure that the piles
would go as long as the hammer would
strike them. They did not furnish the
necessary resistance, and to make up
for the defect, Superintendent Hinckley
ordered the contractors to put in more
piles of extra length. The contractors
complied with the order, and 81 extra
piles were driven to form a foundation
for the south pier, which made 16O piles
instead of 80, as called for in the spec
5ficatiOns.
The contractors presented a bill for
the extra piles and the work of putting
them in, amounting to several thousand
dollars, and the commissioners refused
to allow the claim. That opened the
way for new trouble, as it was supposed
that the same condition would be met
in the other piers. But that is now dis
posed of, because Mr.. Hinckley says
that extra piles are not necessary in
the other piers
I'VE all figured on a better founda-
ton than we found" said Mr.. Hinck-
ley to Journal reporter. TT was sup
posed that the piles would be driven in
to clay, which would furnish a, secure
resting place. Instead, shifting sand
was found, and 1t was a question what
should be done. I considered it neceS-
sary to have the extra piles driven in
the south pier because the piles did not
give the required resistance while they
were being driven. In the other piers
we got the resistance called for in the
specifications, and it will accordingly
not be necessary to put in extra piles.
The piles pass through chalk, blue clay
and sand, and it makes very hard driv-
ing. 1 do not apprehend much more
trouble
With the estimate presented today
the contractors have been allowed SAT-
600, and the work makes a very small
show, indeed, for the amount expended
but superintendent Hinckley explains
that the sum includes the cement and
piles which have not yet been used. He
says that he hopes the south pier may
be up where it can be seen in a week or
two. The work of putting in concrete
will be resumed in a day or two, as
operations were suspended during the
cold weather.

only one of these that exceeds Texas
in the number of its manufacturers

other states in the amount of money

that she leads them all in the value

These figures show that only
Virginia and Tennessee and Ken

manufacturing, and as these creative

n question of n few years when Texas

Prince Bismarck, in celebrating a
thesis upon American arrogance is
really carrying his Goals to Newcastle.
The old man of iron and blood is the
most arrogant soul in all Europe today.
He need not be afraid that the United
States is going to take his prerogative-
from him. But it is very strange that
ii is only the more arrogant of the Eu-
rOpean dons who prate about Ameri-
can arrogance. The fact is that the
manhood independence of the true
American sits heavily on the stom-
ach of those old world mobiles. Sturdy
Republicanism is a stencil in the nos
trils of European absolutism. This is
an offence as old as the days of
Franklin aIsl Penn and Washington.

OUR LOST PRESTIGE.

Mexico has some newspaper writers
who are utterly incapable of forming
an opinion ON American affairs. Those
who prate about the loss of prestige
on the part of the United States and
her forfeiture of the good will Of the
nations, because she has changed her
political administration, do not under
stand the drift of affairs. The battle
between protection and free trade in
this country is not one to be conclud-
ed in day. The fight has waged all
along the pathway of the past thirty
years, Always more and more decisive
iy in favor of the pos...ve triumph of
the American idea, protection. That
fight had its most decisive victory
one year ago, and it is certain that the
coming years will see that victory
perfected and the question of tariff
largely eliminated from the field of
United States 'pontics. That this
fight has lost the United States any
prestige is all nonsense. This country is
exercising a larger influence upon the
affairs of the other peoples Of the earth
today than at any former perion in her
history. 1t is only natural that as she
becomes more American, largely TAX
ing to herself the commerce and ship
ping so generally turned over to other
shipmasters in the past, she should be
more adversely criticised but this is not
an indication of lost prestige. 1t is
an indication that other nations are on
the watch, more jealous of those ad-
vantages possessed through American
indifference in the past, more ready
to utter scare note against any pro-
posed action on the part of this gov
eminent, all of which indicates in
creased prestige, rather than diminish
cd importance in the eyes of the great
industrial and commercial world. So
long as the commerce and industry of
the United States only fed the COM
merce and industries of the European
continent and the British Empire it
was not likely that adverse criticism
upon American policies would be in
dulged in, but now, that this order is
reversed the cry of American assump-
ton is heard all along the line. I'm
ncle Sam stand it. 1t is
only an evidence that the
American policy is dangerous
TO the non-American idea. and that in |
out squarely on that platform
this country has put a hook in the |
nose of foreign trade and competitive |
Industries in other lands. The whole |
secret is that this country has been
the feeding ground and the dumping |
ground of the nations until now, and |
that it is to become so no longer. 1t is
therefore to be expected that the |
dumpists will kick and squirm, but to |
no result.
