I have had and now have absolute con-
troll OF the manufacturing department
My assistants are men of long experience
and second in carefulness and skill to
none in this country. The quotation from
your paper is direct reflection on them
and on me. The Irvine manufactured this
year has been as good as any Sisal or
standard ever made in this prison. The
prisoners under my supervision have
never done their work more intelligently
and willingly than they have this year;
as a matter of fact, we have not used as
much oil in proportion this year as we
did last.
AT various times during the past season
I have secured balls of twine made at
other factories, and with two exceptions
have found none equal in quality and
length to that made by us. l still have
these samples on hand. With the posi-
BILE exception of three factories in the
United States, there is no Irvine made
nor has there been any put on the market
this year as good as that sent out from
the prison We have on hand now about
100000 pounds of Irvine. and I challenge
any man or committee from any part OF
the state who honestly wants to know
what sort of Irvine we have made and are
making to come over here, select from
this vast quantity a bale at random, and
compare it, ball by ball, with bale of
any other sisal I have no hesitation in
saying that it will be found, both in
length, quality and evenness, to be equal
to any sisaI or standard Irvine made in
this country. Yours respectfully,
Thomas Hanlon.
Superintendent of Twine Factory.
The farmers will find nearly every ma
chine man and dealer in Irvine bowling
about the way the Irvine plant at the
prison has been mismanaged, and their
object is to destroy this competition, so
that they can help the Irvine trust to rob
the farmers, as they have done in past
years. If there was no Irvine trust, and
no people who were its agents, there
would be no talk about the prison twino
except to praise this most important of
all state industries.

plainest speaking men who ever reached
his eminence IN national politics. 1t is

Another politician of his own party
who came under Senator Sherman's cpl
grammatic charactertzations was the
Hon. Thomas c.. Platt, of New York,
who. Mr. Sherman said, was ''the Judas
Iscariot of politics." OF course, he did
NOT mean to initiate that thirty pieces of
silver would do the business with the
New York senator, but he was convinced
that Platt for a consideration, had sold
the Republican nomination in 1883 to Har-
riSon.
The trouble between Sherman and Plat
went back to the Hayes administration,
when Sherman was secretary of the
treasury. and Hayes removed afterwards
President Chester A. Arthur from the
coIlectorship of the pert of New York.

Saturdays fighting began at daybreak. The
allied forces opened with several of the Terrible's
4.7-inch naval guns, six field guns and numerous
machine guns, the firing being at long range.
They continued to advance steadily, the Chinese
artillery replying. The guns of the allies were
more skilfulIy handled and put the guns of
the Chinese out of action one by cne, the Chinese
retreating about noon
There was keen rivalry among the repre-
sentatives of the various nations as to which
should enter Tien-Tsin first, and the Americans
and British went in neck and neck. The Rus

the largest losses.

Washington. June 27-"One of the most seri-
Gus difficulties Of the impending campaign, so
far as the Republicans are concerned is the al
most universal belief that the money question
cannot be reopened, except as a subject of
academic debate. for the next four years at
least" recently remarked Chairman Babcock
of the Republican Congressional Committee, who
Is about to open his fourth campaign in that
capacity He keenly realizes. well do all
the other more sagacious and experienced Re
publican leaders, that Bryan victory this year
would almost inevitably give the silver men
control Of both branches OF Congress on March
4. 1903, at the latest, and might possibly pro-
duce that result on March 4, 1901. And a Bryan
victory may be won this year unless a majority
of the voters of the country can be disabused
of the belief that such result would not en-
danger the gold standard legislation of the
LVIth Congress.
Those who know the details of the Congress
campaign of 1898 we'll remember how difficult
it was to arouse Republican voters and sound
money men generally to the Importance OF that
contest Sound money had victory at the
polls two years before, but :he fruits of that
victory could not be gathered because of an
opposition majority in the Senate. 1t was
known in 1898 that the sound money men
would control that body in the LVIth Congress,
