The lirai is found east of the Missouri Uiver with tts great est development in the Appalachian runion, and lite second west of the 100th meridian.

Coking, gas, steam and domestic coals occur along these hills, in Colorado with some breaks, from New Mexico to Wyo ming, The arni plains are fast being dotted with towns containing manu facturing, lighting and power plants, and the market constantly grows, its eastern limit being practically the Missouri Uiver.

Incidents by the Way-conveniences ot a Modern Steamship-Icebergs in Sight. (Correspondence Keowee Courier.J Glasgow, Scotland, June 21.-It is difficult to realize that 1 am in Soot lund, nearly 4,000 mile? away from dear old South Carolina, but such is the Oase. Our vessel sailed into this great city this morning at about 7 o'olook, after a very satisfactory voy age In this letter the writei will give a description of bit) trip to this place. 00 Juno 8th I left Yorkville io my buggy for Rook Hill at 4.80 in the afternoon, accompanied by two mtunbera of my family. After a pleasant ride over the splendid road iK'twcen Yorkville and Rook HUI wo reached tho latter place about fifteen minut?e before the train, was due. The train was on time, and whou I got on I wns gratified to lind my dear friend, Dr. Thorn well, on board, with whom I had delightful inter course as far as Fort Mill. In Char lotte I met BO me dear friends while 1 waited for the train 'yhicl. was to earry me to Washington. The train was an hour late. It arrived at ll o'clock and was soon on ita way to wards Washington. There were friends on this train whom I had known for some time. It is almost, impossible for a person to go anywhere in these times with out meeting people whom he has known before. Tho railway and other modern conveniences have brought ?he raee close together. Just after the conductor had an nounced Salisbury there was a con siderable jar felt by the passengers, and the train stopped. No one dreamed that anything serious had occurred. Rut in a few minutes it was found that, ibo train had run into an open switch and had struck some freight cars which were stand ing oil the track. The engineer and firemen were killed. It was a sad sight to see them lying lifeless under the debris. It was dark, ami with the small lights on hand wo could riot see very well, but as far as we could discern, the engineer had his hand on the throttle. Faithful fel low ! This accident caused a delay of two ami a half hours. Tho train reached Washington at 1 p. m., June Olli, instead of 0 a. m., fie schedule time. After about a half hour's stay in Washington, I was on my way to New York, reach ing this gigantic and interesting city at 9 p. m. June 10th was ?pent in purchasing articles for the trip and in attending to other matters touch ing the journey. That night I was joined by six persons, led by Dr. Kine, of Atlanta, who were to go to Europe with me, or rather with whom I was to go. The next morn ing two others : ppeared. This com pleted our party. Saturday morn ing, June 11th, was a very busy Lime with Dr. Rice and myself, as we saw it was necessary lo make some changes in our itinerary. Ry way of parenthesis, I would *ay to the reader, if you ever decide Lo go to Europe give yourself plenty L>f lime in which io get ready. We hastened from our hotel at the last moment togo to the steamer, which was scheduled to leave New York at 8 p. m., June 11th. To my surprise, I found lhere Mr. ami Mrs. U. E. Graham, of Greenville, S. C., mid Mr. and Mrs. Sam Martin, of New York, but formerly of Atlanta, Lo bid some of us good-bye. We soon boarded the Astoria of j the Anchor Line for Glasgow, Scot- | and. A large number of friends of [.he passengers were on the steamer Lo hld them farewell, etc. After a. while tho gong was sounded, a signal for all except the passengers to get | )t'f. The vessel pulled out at 8.10; ii. m., apparently, ami as was after wards demonstrated, in splendid COn lition. We had on board 02 tirst jiass passengers. 220 second-elans j Messengers, 140 steerage passengers ?nd 184 in the crew-total 586, We ilso had about '2,000 lons of freight. This ship is 480 feet long and has a sapaoity of 5,080 tons. It is well 1 tied up aud furnished with many ionveniences-bath rooms, barber ?hops, electric lights all over her, etc. All of the stewards seemed to be Scotchmen and they were very polite ind competent. The Scotch patron ze this line of steamers very much, ind I never get tired of hearing a genuine Scotchman talk. In tact I il ways feel like taking off my hat to i Scotchman. The Astoria is not one of tho .argent vessels ; but there are some lidded advantages in traveling in a imftller vessel. The people are more looial and are not burdened with so nany inconveniences in dressing properly, etc. The people who were m the Astoria this time were very congenial. There were a large num >er of Southerners on board. There were twenty passengers at my table n tho dining room and eighteen of .hem were from the South. This nude it very pleasant. Seats at the .able were selected for tho passen gers about an hour after we left New York. Each person gets a certain leat at the table ami he keeps this leat through all the voyage. We liad with us some right distinguished nen. Among them were Admiral ?. C. Watson, U. S. N., and Gen. los. Breckenridge, IJ. S. A. Roth >f these men are elders in tho Pres byterian church and were on their way to the Pan-Presbyterian Coun cil in Liverpool. A pilot went out with us from New York about ten miles, to keep ns in the right way as we were going ?Ut into tho deep sea. There aro quite a number of these men whose business it is to bring vessels in ns they come into New York from Other countries and to guide them nut as they leave. Bach pilot has a small steamer of his own and be gets a certain fee for bringing ft ship in and for taking her out. The pilot that sights ii vessel tirst is entitled to the job of bringing her in. I sup pose from this that these pilots spend most of their time in their vessels ten or twelve miles out from Nt-w York. It Was an interesting sight to see the pilot leave our vessel. A rope ladder was lowered from the ileck. A small skiff driven by two men, carno close to our vessel and ibo pilot went down the ladder and stepped into tho littlo skiff which Look him to his own vessel. He car ried with him ? package of letters which tho passengers had written back to thoir friends. We felt then like tho Inst link in "he chain which hound us to America was broken. And so it was. Wo were moving out into the big, appui en! ly lr HI nd', less sea. We spont two Sundays on the ves sol. Divino services were held on Wag ?'i carinii vaut) day by OliO of wie ministers on bonni. We bad about a dozen ministers with UH ; au wo were not short on preaching mn lerial. Most of thom were going to the Council in Liverpool, '''ho'dele-' guten to this Conned held severn! very pleasant meetings of prayer and sweet fellowship. There is solemnity connected with these services which does not appertain to similar services on land. And yet you will lind soiuo out ut sea Who '..ne not for these things. In fact, the sailor's lifo is not ono that is very conducive to pioty. Wo had not gone very far till tho thermometer commenced to drop. It continued to fall till it came iutotho neighborhood of tho frce/.ing point. It was very cold all through the voyage. Cn June loth, we sighted a very largo Iceberg in tho distance. It wa? in night for one hour or moro. At tho nearest point, wo wore, ac cording to the best testimony^ about four or five miles from the berg. It seemed to bo about threo or four hundred feet long aud about seventy livo feet above thc water. It was a grand sight, even though it was so far away. I wished very muoh that we could havo gotten nearer, but not too near; for these icebergs consti tute one of thc perils that confront tho seamen, und they do not like to (rut close to them, ns they cannot seo what they arc beneath thc water. It is supposed that about one-eighth of a berg is above water. It is ti gra cious provision on tho part of nature that icc is lighter than water. "Cold contracts iron, but i*. expands water. Doubtless you have heard of thc good things they have to eat on these large steamers. Thc reports aro true. They serve four meals a day-break fast at 8, lunch at 12.80, dinner ut 0, nod lunch again nt 9. In addition to t his thc deck steward brings tea and crackers on thc deck between breakfast and lunch nm) between lunch and dinner. Probably it will bo interesting for you lo soc ono of thc menus for dinner. So I will give you thc one for .lune 19tl), which I am taking homo tis a souvenir ol' the trip. Herc it is : eoup.

There was not as much sickness on the very, agc as there usually is. 1 suppose about one-half-probably not more than a third-of tho passengers wen sick- 1 was sick for one day and 1 believe it has helped mc materially I did not see anybody who wat deathly sick, at least, not as sick nf the mau 1 heard of who had gi von in a visible way unmistakable proofs ol his sickness. Mis wife, who did nol seem altogether absorbed with his sickness, asked him in the night il the moon was up. lie replied by saying: "If I swallowed it, it is." The weather on the voyage wat unusually line. There was no rail of any consequence-just n few drops tell on two occasions, I believe We had no fogs. Usually the. ves sels have to encounter these us thej pass ' the banks of Newfoundland Our longest run for omi day was 84' miles. The sea was calm most, o the time, or about as calm as it eve gets to be. On Monday, .lune 20th wc sighted land about I o'clock. I was refreshing to see terra linn; once more. Thc land was the Bruer aid Isle. Wo sailed along the coas of Ireland all the afternoon, viowinj thc picturesque scenery-mountain and hills and rugged rooks. W passed a mountain not far from th shore, over 'J,OOO feet above the sen It was a revelation lo mo to sec stiel large mountains in Ireland so clos to the sea. Wc touohed at Moville (near Lon dinderry) About G p. m., and this wa thc first stop tho vessel made sine we left New York. Herc quito number ol' passengers landed, think they must have put tiff in th neighborhood of 800 trunks, valise! etc., at this place. Thc Astori could not go right to Moville, wilie is on ?i body of water that juts i from the sea, but had to transfer pat songera and baggage to a small vesst which came ont to meet, us. Her wc got in touch again with tho rei of our fellowmen from whom wo hn been separated for nine days. W heard herc of the sail calamity c the Hudson in which so many li vt were lost. After we left Moville, a notice WI posted in thc ship that brcakfai would be served next morning at This meant that wc would get I Glasgow about 7. And so wc di Some of thc passengers arose earl to soe tho scenery along tho riv Clyde, which opens up thc way fro the sea to Glasgow. All along th river are evidences of man's skill ai industry-great shipbuilding indu tries nod other enterprises. V^ passed a magnificent bitildii owned hy tho Singer Sewing M chine Company and in which thc machines arc made. As wo rolled Into this great cit my heart was Hilled with joy, ai when I put my feet tm Scotland soi felt like I was standing on sacr soil. This little country has done miuh for tho world in a conamore! civic, educational and religious w;i that mankind will never pay her tim debt Whioh it owes to her.

St. Louis, July 8.--The Domooratio party of tho United States, in national convention assembled, declares its devo tion to tho essential principles of Hie I lenna 1 al ic faith winch bring UH togother in party communion. Ulldor thom local sell' government and national unity nnd prosperity w ero alike established. They underlaid OUT illdo pendonco, tho structuro of our freo iv publie, and every Democratic extension I rom Louisiana to Cndforuia, and Texas to Orogou, which preserved faithfully in all tho States tho tie between tnxation and representation. They yot inspire tho mashes of our people, guarding jeal ously their rights and liberties, and cher ishing their fraternity, peace and orderly development. They remind us of our ? huies and responsibilities ns citizens, and impress upon us, particularly at this time, the necessity of reform and tho rese?o of the administration of govern ment from tho headstrong, arbitrary and spasmodic, methods which distract business by uncertainty mid pervade tho I uhlic mind with dread, distrust, and perturbation. 1. Tho application of these funda mental principles to tho living issues of tho day is tho first stop toward tho as sured penco, safety aud progress of our nation. Freedom of tho press, of con science, of speech; equality boforo tho law of nil citizens; right of trial by jury -freedom of tho person defended by tho writ of habeas Corpus; liberty of per sonal contract, ti n t ram moled b\ (sumptu ary laws; supremacy of tho civil over military authority; a well disciplined militia; the separation of Church and Statu; economy in expenditures; low taxes, that labor may be lightly bur dened; prompt and sacred fulfilment of public, nod private obligations; fidelity to treaties; pcaco and friendship with all nations; entangling nllianccs with noue; absolute acquiescence , the will of tho majority; tho vital principio of republics -these are doctrines which Doniocracy has established, approved tty the nation, and they should bo constantly invoked and enforced. We favor enactment and administra tion of laws, giving labor mid capital impartially their just rights. Capital and labor ought not to bo enemies. Knob is necessary to tho other. Each has its rights, but tho rights of labor ate cer tainly no less "ves'ed," no less "sacred" and no less "inalienable" than tho rights of capital. . CONSTITUTION AI. OIT A I< A NTK KS. Constitutional guarantees aro violated whenever any citizen is denied tho right, to labor, acquire and enjoy property, or icsidu whore interests or inclination may determine. Any denial thereof by indi viduals, organisations, or governments should bo summarily rebuked and pun ished. Wo deny '.ho right of any executive to disregard or suspend any constitutional privilege or limitation. Obodionco to tho Inws and respect for their require ments mo aliko tho supremo duty of tho citizen mid tho official. The military should bo authorized only to support and maintain tho law. Wo | j unqualifiedly condemn its employment tot tho summary banishment of citizens without trial at or for tho control of ulec-11 tiona. 11 We approve tho mensuro which passed tho United States Sunato in 1890, but which a Republican Congress has ever sinco refused to enact, relating to con tempts in Federal Court?, and providing for trial by jury in cases of indirect con tempt. WATERWAYS, Wo favor libel al appropriations for tho cato and improvement of tho waterways of tho country. When any waterway, liko tho Mississippi river, is of sufficient importance to demand special aid of tho Government, such aid should ho ex tended with a definite plan of continuous wink until permanent improvement is secured. > Wo oppose tho Republican policy of starving homo development in order to feed tho greed for conquest and tho appetite for national "prestige" and dis play of strength. KCONOMY OK ADMINISTRATION. Large reductions can easily bo made in tho annual expenditures of tho govern ment Without impairing the efficiency of any branch of the public service, and wo shall insist upon tho strictest economy and frugality compatible with efficient civil, military and naval administration ns a right of tho people too clear to ho denied or withhold. Wo favor honesty in tho public service, the enforcement of honesty in tho public service, and to that end n thoroughly legislative investigation of those execu tive departments of the government al ready known to teem with corruption, mid tho punishment of ascertained cor ruptionists without fear or favor or re gard to persons. Tho persistent and dolihnrnto refusal of both tho Senate and House of Representatives to permit such investigation to ho mado demonstrates that only by a chango in tho executive and in tho legislativo departments can completo exposure, punishment and cor rection 1)0 ol I ai ned. FRDRRAL QOV8RNMRNT CONTRACT WITH TRUSTS. Wo condemn tho action of tho Ropub oan party in Congress in refusing to pro hibit, nu executive depart meid from en tering into contract* with convicted trusts or unlawful combinations in re straint of Inter-State trade. Wo boliovo that ono of tho host n ethods of procur ing economy and honesty in tho public service is to havo public ? flicials, from ono occupant of tho Whito Honso down to tho lowest of them, returned ns noni ly lui may, to Jeffersonian simplicity of living.
