"I think it has now been fairly wei! ?pj?o<Ten by thc New York Cotton Ex ige that they have no right to ex so long as they practle,? the tneth I bat they do practice, as referred t?lfey the senator from North Carolina Overman.) They showed some iowa yesterday of coming to thc right aftitude in referrmce/to cotton. I ? give notice now that I shall tomor > all up the bill und seek to put! ii a;on Its passage. ;o senator from North Dakota (Mr.! limber), in his grain-Inspect lo? i has'a bill which is almost along ame line, and I hope that we can -vi. in conjonction on'tho two bills, if this crying evil csn not be| I only postpone asking the' consideration ci the bill to which I re rrow for the reason that who wish to offer amendments y-aarer'an- opportunity to prepare them before the beginning of tho dis-j i of the. bill.

I believe that the bill which I haye before the senate will accomplish that purpose. . "Since I nave bejn in the senate I ha>ie been striving tb get relief for the I farmers. I could* not get the active support of some of the manufacturers ; for the roaaun that up to now they had I not been the victims of this pernicious I system; but the moment that the New .York Echange turned upon them and, In plac? of it being a "hedge market," letting "futures" and "spots" run ?somewhat parallel, it is now a differ ent proposition. "When a map bought cotton at 13 [conta as a "hedge," hoping to pay 13 cents in tho south, and thee "hedge dropped from a cut to a cent and a half a pound, whl'a the "Boot" stood exactly at the same plane at which he must buy. hr. stood to lose from $"> to $10 on tho bale on his purchase in the south. "vVTh?n '?pot" cotton went up .: cent a pound and "futures" w.mt up, he was protected, and when "spot" coticn went down and "futures" wont o. ?MI ne wau protected, bul when "fu tures" went down and "spof'went. up he was 'spilt.' That is thc complaint they are bringing now. The grower has heretofore been tho victim of that practice and now the manufacturer is also being made the victim. It is u pernicious system, and we have no right to Rlvo them 12 months' lease of life lu order that they may reap a profit out of their victims, having som' niittcj themselves to a system that they know can not exist longer In this country." I believe that they have helped more o? plums and widows to a more satis factory living and liberal education than any other set of men that can be atarte:!." But the efrort or politicians who know little or nothing about their business, to obtain oillc.e by regulating business tba? they have not tttudled, and professing u groat lovo for humanity lins been misunder stood and misconstrued. "Tho ?tamp ot public approval has thud been placed upon many a basis coln. The same is true In regrard to the railroad business. Railroads have nothing to nell, but transportation. In! the advance civilization of the present Its transportation hhs become the most important element of value in nearly everything that Is produced. "Evey man who offers to nerve the people ought to run on IIIB mettle be so big and brainy that he would not have to antagonise any honest business, or stir un prejudice and ha tred to get votes. "Thc peoplo who try to' obtain office by making a fight against the rail roads on the price of transportation ought to pause and think of the dis aster that may be caused by a defec tive crosStie When if the railroad nanagement bed been let . lone the money would have been on handNo have replaced that defective crosstle, and avoided that accident. Saved the Umba of the wounded and lives of the killed. . "The only redeeming feature about all Of this ls the sure and. certain abb of every tide that flows. There ls nothing more certain or logical than the fact that the railroad people are deeply interested in the prosperity of every community they serve. , "Tho better that service, the bet ter will be the condition of the people served and the* greater will be the vsJuso f the transportation for which they paid. "It ls far better to pay ten cents for three sound aplea than to pay one penny for ono that ts rotten.

INTENDS TO CANVASS COUN TY-TO-COUNTY IF HE DOES IT ALONE ; NO EAR FOR RUMOR Doesn't Care for Talk About Separate Party-Going to Senate Anyhow. Columbia, Jan. 2.1.-Gov. Hleasc, who has been ont of the city for the I past few dayB, was aBked upon hie re turn If he had anything to say in ref erence to the rumors in regard to at tempting to do away with the Couaty to-county camaplgn. In reply Gov. Hieaae said: "In the first place. I cannot con ceive that this.matter la being dis cussed seriously, for hardly any indu with any good common sense, who is a candidat? for any office, would endeav or to keep from going face to face"' be fore the people of South Carolina and discussing questions which are of vital importance to them. The man who would endeavor to keep from going before the people would be at once de nounced as fearing to face the people, and it would prove disastroua to him and bia cause. Therefore, I. do not think that this matter ls being seri ously considered, but is merely news paper rumor. "I have made several county-to county campaigns and I think some of them, at least, it will be admitted, have been just about as strenuous and under just about as warm circumstau. QOS and in just about as hot weather, as any other man has ever undergone or will ever undergo, and I hava nov or seen one which was any special hardship and even If such a campaign ?H some little hardship on the candi adtes. lt ls certainly the only way to reach tho people and thc people are not going to submit to Its being abol ished. "However, if those in control were to be so foolish as to abolish it. that would not interfere with my plans in the least. l would simply arrange an itinerary of my own, Just as tho state executive committee does now, and h?ve it published ns paid advertising -as I presume that would he the only way I could get it in most of the newspapers. I would also forward it to my campaign manager at each county seat, and have him to an nounce that I would he at his county seat on a certain day to delivor an aa. dress, and those who wanted to come to hear me could come. Just ns the:? uo how, under the present rulosi and who did not want to come could stay away. Just ns th^y do now under tho present rules, and in this way I A on ld I go to every county seat in South Caro lina this summer on my own. Initiative, regardless of what the stato oxecufve committee or anybody elsa might do. And I would send a politic invitation to each of the candidates who might ho in tho race for United States sena tor and invite them to meet mo at the county seat of each county on tho day that I would bc oresont. and off>>r to divide time with them. In the discus sion of the issues. Of course, if they declined-which I have no Idea the> would do-I would simply go on, any way, and -deliver my -spec ::. 1 pro pose to go before tbs people and tell them what I nave done, and why I have done lt und no crowd of political rlngsters can keep mo away from the I people."

"Of course." Gov. Blease replied, "I pay absolutely no attention to that I have heard and I get it pretty straight, that some people have advised soma, other people to go to their club meet-, logs m April and if thsV ?Ound that the Blease m<m had a majority, to withdraw and form a separate club and elect a separate set of delegates ' to the county convention and that .have been further advised, when the county convention meets If they find that tho T31 ease men have control of the county convention to he'-d a separ- ! ate convention or through the ma-] chinery that they now have In their . hands to soat enough antl-Bleaac dole. ! i gates', to control the convention, and; Start amething -American soldiers and Mexi unday at McGee crossing, three irande, in which several Feder? trol from K troop of the Four f the Mexicans across v. . o shooting continued.
