Cotton for Paper Pulp.

fThe Editor and publisher.i
| 1t is proposed to utilize the entire
cotton plant root, stem and branch, in
an improved process for the manufac-
ture of paper pulp, a patent for which
| has just been issued to James c. Cole
imam and Elliott Toxey, of Mobile. Ala.
| 1t is aimed to provide as a substitute
| for the ordinary wood pulp, a pulp
which shall not only be cheaper, but
| from which finer, denser, and tougher
ipaper may be manufactured.
In carrying our invention into eff
| feet says the inventors. we utilize
mature cotton plants, including the
stock, root, branches. staple, seeds,
and lint, and the like. In gathering the
materia! for use the plants are removed
| from the soil entire with the roots and
bolls adhering. They are then placed
| in the usual fibre breaking machine,
and all parts are crushed, after which
| they are subjected to the usual treat
ment for reducing the fibrous mater
ial to paper pulp.
| During this operation any oil that is
| contained In the seeds and other parts
and that would have a deleterious Ell
feet on the pulp will rise to the top dur
| ing the ordinary operation OF boiling
and may be SKINNED off. The pulp is
| then to be employed In the manufacture
of paper in the usual manner.
I'VE are aware that prior to our In
vention it had been proposed to make
the paper pulp from the bark of the
stalks and roots. and also from the
stalks and roots themselves; but the
pulp made from these materials. is OF
an inferior quality, and lacks the neces-
sary strength and density.
I'VE have Dissolved in practice that
by using the seed cotton in connection
with the cotton stalks, roots and woody
fibre of the plant we are prepared to
make pulp from which paper of great
strength and density can be manufac-
tured without the employment OF rage
and similar substitutes that heretofore
have been incorporated with such
woody fibres to give the necessary
density to the paper. The cotton sta
pie or lint, as before explained, is en-
ployed in it's virgin state, and largely
aids in giving the necessary toughness
and resistance to tearing strain to the
paper, as we'll as giving a finished sur

youns's TRIBUTE TO WATERMAN.

Lafayette Young, editor of the Des
Moines Capital. an old time friend and
fellow workman of NJ. Waterman. late
editor of the Times Republican,, in
Thursdays issue of the, Capital pays
tribute to Mr.. Waterman as he knew
him in his youth and young manhood.
Mr.. Young says:
Mr. Waterman. was in the last year
of his apprenticeship when Mills g. Co.
bought the Register. He was known
among his fellow workmen as gentle
spirited high minded, honorable, am
bilious young man with decided taste
for the best things in life and even
at that time he was lover of the best
literature. He was faithful, con-
scientious worker, never being willing
to idle away the time for which his
employer paid MIN. In this respect
he was an example to other workmen.
He was blessed naturally with a sunny,
flowing disposition. No one ever thought
of quarreling with Moses Waterman.
So kind and amiable was he that he
made friends among all those whom
he met With his fellow workmen he
frequently talked of his ambitions and
his hopes for the future. He was of the
type of men rare but always appreci-
ated. His nature was essentially re-
ligious, and he governed his whole life
by his conscience. He would rather
help than hurt any one, and he never
spoke evil of others Ribald jests We're
unknown to him. Old time printers and
associates of Mr.. Waterman will learn
of his death with sincere sorrow. The
world never knew better nor more
lovable man than he. Peace to his
ashes.'

LET,s GIVE AND TAKE.


The boasgful assumption with which
some stand pat" editors are wont to
argue that the republican party of Iowa
lis going to replldiate the position it has
taken on the tariff question in its two
last state platforms, coupled with the
efforts a few Iowa congressman are
making to gather material for a spec
tacular fight i'll the next convention,
rather discourage the hopes for party
harmony that Governor Cummins has
raised by his magnanimous offer to
yield certain forms of expression in the
next platform upon which he is to be
the party candidate. TIE Sioux City
fairness suggests reciprocity, which the
"standpatters" ought to be willing to
meet half way, but If republicans who
have defended the regularly adopted
platforms of the party.in The past are to
be RECALLED with the boasts of mis-
ichief-making minority that the major
|ity of the party has consented to yield
any of Its principles to their demands.
the element which will undoubtedly be
will be inclined to the view that the
governor has been casting pearls of con-
eession before swine and proceed to
adopt a platform without counseing
with the indictments. The T.-R. be-
llieves that the governor did the best
thing for the party when he proposed
to his arch-enelny a method of silenc-
ing inter- party contention, but we also
believe that the. average republican is
human and that reciprocity between
Iparty factions is just as much give
and take proposition as reciprocity be-
tween nations.
The fact that the same few congress-
men who are making such elaborate
preparations for convention fight are
the same individuals who have fought
Mr.. Cummns, the fact that the stand
pat newspapers are confined almost
I 81 a
exclusively to the previous anti-Cum-
Minis press and the information that
Secretary Shaw is the leader of the
campaign against the Iowa platform.
going to the extent of maintaining a
journalistic bureau at Des Moines at his
own expense to spread his propaganda,
has suggested to many an lowan that
the furore over the Iowa idea is merely
the old factional fight against the Cum
Minis republicans in disguise. To this
suggestion the "s;tand-patters" will usu-
ally reply that no effort will be made
to refuse Governor Cummins a re-
nomination, but the friends of Cum
Minis would like to know wherein there
lis any difference between fighting his
re -nomination and undertaking to tie
around his neck platform reputation
of the republican platform and princi-
pies he has been defending. The
stand patters' know full we'll the

speeches. What then are Shaw, few
gruntled newspapers driving at?
That the real differences of opinion
too small to justify contention is ap-
parent to the average cbEeryer. Even
the Washington correspondent of a
New York paper, who perhaps never
saw the state of Iowa, has seen the
truth shining thru the fog of misrepre-
sentation that Shaw and these few con-
gressmen have been assiduously rails
ing in the eastern mind. He writes to
his paper, the Tribune:
"The PRESIDENT while derrecating
tariff revision before the national cleo
ton, has at no time espoused the eX-
IRENE position represented by Secre-
tary Shaw. He has explicitly said that
he believes in tariff revision whenever
all the conditions may warrant it, and
here he meets on somewhat common
ground the position of Governor Cum
Minis. Were the president the ultra
protectionist that his secretary of the
treasury is, some of the Iowa authors
ties say there would be little hope that
he and Mr.. Cummins could find any
common ground, but such is not the
case, and in many details the president
agrees with the position of the Iowa
governor"
Now Governor Cummins has asserted
that II know that Senator Allison and
substantially agree on this subject and
with that declaration made prominent
he proceeds to consent with J. w.
Blythe that Allison be the arbiter to
choose language to so express these
principles upon which they are agreed
as not to offend the republican who
thinks he is the only strict protectionist.
cation of language and has first assured
himself that he and Allison substantial
ly agree as to principle. Facing this
situation it can not fail to EXHIBIT a
motive for any '.standpat'
newspaper to keep UP a continual crow
ing that the Iowa idea is dead. The
Iowa idea was adopted by the unani-
nous vote of two republican conven-
tons and it is not likely that the re-
publicans who controlled those conven-
tons are going to consent to any ma
terial modification of principle. To
keep up the fight now that the leaders
of two opposing factions, Blythe and
Cummins have apparently agreed that
Allison shall modify the language can
mean only that Shaw and anti-Cum-
minis congressman are using the tariff
contention as means TO gain control
of the republican party in Iowa. And
since, as Editor Perkins has suggested.
the convention is to be a Cummins
convention it would seen the part of
discretion for "standpatters' who real
ly want any concessions to meet the
governor half way in these reciprocity
negotiations.
