without exception, heartily welcome all
new business enterprises.

Jasper and Evansville division of the L.,

The town has If manufacturing estab
lifibments using steam power, embracing
steam flour mills, 2 planing: mills,
saw mills, l Bpoue factory, l stave and
shingle factory, 1 furaitnra factory,
brewery, 1 machine shop. 4 wagon
factories, and 2 brick-yards, which did a
business last year aggregating over
I275.OC0. It has three large well-stocked
dry goods and general stores, and
smaller ones, 4 grocery 6torea, none of
them extensive, 4 confectionaries, i shoe

To persons who are aceklar an invest

presents rare inducements, and her cut

Among the branches of business which
ought to be established here and would
certainly pay, are a woolen mill, a smal
foundry, a largo fruit connery, a good
butter, and checBC dairy, a tiling factory a handle factorv, a good broom factory
a cood nottcrv. a general produce dealer,
who would pay cash for farm produce of all kinds in any quantity; another
flour mill might possibly be maue to pay,
also, as over 50.000 bushels of wheat
were shinned from Jasper last
year which it eceros to us might
have been made into flour here with
profit, and the manufactured products
shipped. It i probable, too, that a mer

It Is a question of vital importance to
the business interests of the entire popn-
ationof tho communities through which
tho road will puss, and should claim their undivided attention. F.vqry township along tho line should vote the tax with
out dissent and be thankful for the privil
ege of doing so. The increased valua
tion of the property to the owners there
of and tho additional tax paid by the
railroad company would repay many
times over in a very short timet the in
significant sum asked to be voted in the
way of a tax. There is not a township
along the Hue but is in excellent shape
financially to guarantee a two per cent tax, and the enterprising citizens along the line from Jasper to Goport should

becamo president was to make him commissioner of pensions although this is
one of the most important offices under
the government a good deal more so
than Home of the cabinet offices. The fellow has made a disgraceful record. He has brought scandal and re
proach upon tho administration. Gross favoritism, sliamelul extravagance and flagrant corruption haye characterized
his management of pension atfairs. He
has shown hii utter disregard of the pro
prietie-4 nnd the decencies of his position
an 1 a grotesque inability to comprehend
the obligations it imposes upon its incumbent. Tanner has finally gone. His reeigna
ion was sent to the president yesterday
ami promptly accented. Tanner says
that ho resigned because "the ditlerences
which exist between the tccretarv of the
nterior and myself as to the policy to be
pursued in the administration of the
pension bureau have reached a stage
which threatens to embarrass you to an
extent which I feel you should not be called upon to suffer." The president,
in his reply, says be does "not think it necessary to discuss, in this correspondence, the causes which have led to the
present attitude of affairs ia the pension
office." t anner, he says, has beta kind
ly and fully advised ot bis vlewa upon
most of thee matters. Tha preeklaat adds that It give hint plaawre to aay that so far as he is advised Tanner's prsnnal honesty hag not been called in
question, and to renew tbeexpreealoa of
his personal good will.
Tanner's resignation was aot, of
course, voluntary. He resigned because it was the only alternative to dismissal.
His retirement, under the circumstances, docs not, in the slightest degree, relieve the administration of the ditgrace of his appoiuiment. which was made with fell
knowledge of his gross ignorance and
utter incapacity. It does not mitigate, in the least, the scandal of the revolting frauds, or of the open and shameless
prostitution of tho machinery of the pen
sion bureau to the service of Dudley,
Lemon and other disreputable pension
brokers. 11. Harrison appointed Tan
ner with his eyes wide open ; he retained him in office long after his reckless and
criminal methods of administration had
been exposed to the country; and he finally dismissed him for that's what the enforced resignation amounts to-
only when popular indignation at his
conduct had reached such a pitch thaH
his furthur retention was simply impos
Mible. The stigma of Tannerism will
cling (o the administration until the
cud, although Tanner himself has been
sacrificed.
AugtiMta'M New Kail road. Petersburg Press: We ere informed

J. Mackey have been at Augusta figur-

branch road from some place on the Air Line to Augusta to tap the coal beds that
are known to exist there. The surveyors
were to be fonnd on the grouud the
first of this week to locate the road.!
The original design of the old Air Line company was to go by Augusta, and the
road wag so located, but they demanded
of Cable & Kaufman a half interest in a
large body of land that was owned by them as pay for running the road to that place, but Cable & Kaufman got mad

Line people they could take their road where they pleased, and as a consequence

Mackey, have just purchased 4W acres;
more or land in and around Aiigusia
and the branch is an assured fact. We
have heard a number of times that the
Air Line folks regretted having made
the curve in their line in order to take in Winsiow, and leave Augusta and her
coal beds out. The branch U to tap the

OAS AT GREAT DHPTH. Tha AMbnrn Well Find It Far Below Trenton Kaok, Vineeanes Sua : Dr. It. T. Brown addressed a letter to John If. Baxter, of Auburn, a member of the State Board of Agriculture, making inquiry concerning the depth at which natural gxi was found at that point. A renlv has Leas,
received in which Mr. Baxter ya;
"We have got two wells here, one 1.-
671 and the other l.ftrS feat deep, with a
ow of about 590.000 feet daily eaca.
The experts who measured them claimed
much more (ban this 1,500,000 feet for
the two but I think they run too high.''
The importance ot this reply, says the
ndiauapolis News, is better understood
when it ia known that the Auburn wells
were sunk six hundred or seven hundred
feet below the Trenton gas bearing rock to the Pennsylvania sandstone, where the supply in Pennsylvania is pro
cured, and which is known to all geolo
gists to underlie this btate, 'but, of
course, at a greater depth There Is a
belief that if this sandstone was penetra
ted, natural gas would be found here tba same as at Auburn, and the Board of
Trade committee is 3lrongly encouraged
n its determination to ciuk a well to a
great depth to find something valuable.
t has always been Brown's theory that
natural gas would be found any place beneath the surfaoe 11 the drill is sunk deep

Socy. Wiudom explains that the in
crease in the public debt during July
and Augiiet was only apparent. The
impression that the debt had actually In
creased, ho says, "arose doubtless from
the peculiar form or the monthly stale
moot of the public debt issued by this
department, In which the amount of the
lebt is given Moss cash In the treasury.'
Bv th s form anv increase of tho cash In
he trott'tiry shows an apparent decrease
of the debt, and disbursements tor any
purpose other than tho purchase of bonds at par value show an increase of the
public debt to the amount of such dls bursomeuts." This ia an attempt to de
ccive the public, and not a clever one by any means. If the government had a
debt of $1,000 000,000, and had $1,000,
000.000 of clean cash In the treasury, its
assets would balance Us liabilities, and
it would bo practically out of debt. If
half of the $1,000,000,000 was squander
ed, or ptolon, or lost, it would have a net
debt of $5(10.000,000. The public debt is
really tho amount of government ouli
gallons less the net cash In the treasury,
appropriated The $7,000,-
000 "apparent" increase In the debt dur
ing July and August is a real increase
that is to say the debt increased $7,000,
000 as compared with tho cash resources 01 the treasury. No juggliug with figures or play upon words will rub out this ugly fact.
