Decisions are becoming very general all over the
country that railroad companies not bound to fence
sainst cattle, and that they only required to
binary not to destroy cattle upon the track. This
will undoubtedly be the rule of action with all the courts
In the densey populated countries of Europe, railroad
companies realize the necessity Of fencing their tracks,
for the safety Of their passengers and the general economy
of their operations In tine this will be the rule in
country but at present roads, Of immense length
compared with European roads, travel for hundreds of
miles through sparsely settled districts and the cost of
fencing and keeping it in order would be enormous. The
obligation consequently falls upon farmers and graziers
railroads The human Or moral obligation to do this in
behalf Of human life and the property Of others appar
em and incontestable. And the owner of cattle who
has done this and by whose neglect life and proper
ty are destroyed incurs accountability that reaches
beyond the courts of law and the incidents of time

u Some of the locofoco organs arc chuck
ling over letter written by Stephen +. j.
Trabue, of Kentucky, denouncing the Oppo-
stion and declaring his purposes to act with
the democracy. They represent that Mr..
Trabuc was a Know- Nothing candidate for
Congress in the Sth district in Kentucky
This is gross Misrepresentation. Mr.. Trabue
is an cratic fellow, who ian as independent
native American candidate for Congress, so
long ago, we believe, as 1915. Upon the or
ganlzatlon of the American party in 1851
he desired the nomination for Congress but
was disappointed. lie has ever since been
sourcd towards Americansm and has openly
acted against it. In the recent election John
Nj. Harlan was the Opposition candidate for
Congress in that district, and Mr. Trahue ran
for awhile as an independent candidate to aid

THE SOUTHERN ELECTIoSs.-A great
General of ancient days exclaimed, after
nominal victory in which his own army
had suffered great loss, " one more such
victory will ruin me - Very similar
must be the reflection of the locofoco
leaders as they read the reports of their
late victories in the Southern States. -
While their candidaes for Governor in
Kentucky and Tennessee are elected,
they have lost in the former two and in
the latter four Members of Congress,
according to the latest telegraphic
reports. In North Carolina, where the
last Congressional Delegation stood
seven locofocos to one Opposition,
they have elected but four members !;
Mr.. Gilmer, American, being reelected
by largely increased majority; while
Clingman's district, heretofore strongly
locofoco, gives three thousand majority
for the Opposition. Add to these the loss
of one member of Congress in Virginia,
and the reduction by thousands and
thousands of their popular vote in that
old stronghold, and we read in these
signs Of the times, the certain doom of
that corrupt and imbecile clan,-corrupt
in everything, and powerful only for
evil, which has ruled the nation for four
years. We call it a &" elan" for the
name Of party this Administration does
not deserve. Its business has been
fraud, and upon none has it practiced
more fully than upon the Democratic
party. Ever since the fourth day of
March 1857, it has gulled and cheated
the very men who gave it place and
power. Every principle has been sacri-
feed, every promise broken. Honest
Democrats have been forced to hang
their heads in shame, and those who
dared refuse to JON with the corruption
and the betrayal ofprinciple of the WASH
ington clan have been prescribed and
crushed with relentless bitterness.
The steady gain in the Southern
States shows, not an ebulition Unpopular
phrcnzy, but, what strikes greater terror
to the clan, the sober quiet determination
to sweep them from the political world
Let all good men, who love their coun-
try, rejoice, let every true heart beat
with animation at the prospect that our
beloved nation will be relieved of these
bad men, who have made our national
capital gambling house and brothoI,
and every government contract a scheme
OF private pcculation.

UD~Ihe rampant and cratic Governor of
Virginia has been getting himself into trouble
by an open bid for the Charleston nonina-
ton. II seems he wrote letter to one Mr..
Donelly, of New York, telling HIM how to
manage matters there; and that Dopelly in
the innocent simplicity of his unsuspecting
heart showed tho letter 10 Mr.. Dean Rich
mond, a strong friend Of Douglass, who
copied it and had it published. Wise, in
letter to the Richmond Enquirer, raves about
the betrayal Of his confidence, and styl les The
publication worse then forgery" but 1t will
not do. This eilectually shelves this aspiring
gentleman, who in 1910 thanked God he
was Wing" and neither the Charleston
Convention or the Presidency will he ever see.
Thus one by one the leaders of the locofoco
party are put out Of the field, and thus the
triumph of the united Opposition in 1860 is
made more certain.

CAN a Man CHANGE HIS NAME.-A curious
case was decided on Saturday in the New
York Court of Common Pleas, in respect to
the right Of a man to change his name. Mr.
John Shook applied TO that Court under an
act passed 1917, for an order changing his
name to John Pike. The motion was denied,
but after learned examination both of the
law respecting names and the history Of theiI
origin, Judge Daily comes to Tie conclusion
thata man may change his name without
order of the court.
