Fernando Wood, who has been regarded as
a strong candidate for the spcakership of
the next House of Representatives, has been
interviewed on that subject, and says he has
no special wish 10 assume that response
biiity; still less would he think of shrinking
from ii should his political friends think
proper to assign il TO him. In other words,
MIR. Wool repOses TRANQUILITY in the hands OF
his friends. As To the certainty of this man
or that man being a candidate, Mr.. Wood
says he knows such reports TO h idle rumOr
AS To the requisite qualifications of a
Speaker, he says IL at officer should be COM
petent To shape leg. Station, To suppress evil
tendencies, to check indiscreet zeal, TO pre-
vent the success of bad laws. and. in short
To direct the business OF the House In the
interests OF the country and Of the demo-
cratic party. 1t is evident Mr.. Wool believes
he would fill the bill, since he frankly says
al should be proud To preside over such a
body as the House Of Representatives"

Several unpleasant little incidents l.
tended Henry c. Jarrett's excursions on the
Plymouth Rock. He was fined $40 for
violating the steamboat regulations and
carrying more passengers than the law al
lows, and in Baltimore his steamer cOlited
with a revenue cutter, damaging the latter
TO the extent of IS or so. He expressed his
willingness to pay the cost of repairs. bat
Notwithstanding. an attachment for SIPS and
Sl6.6O costs was levied on him and he finally
concluded TO pay it, 1t is gratifying To note
the fact that the Secretary OF the Treasury
positively refused 10 remit the $500 fine re-
Eerred TO. Strict enforcement Of the regula
tons governing the running OF vessels are
demanded for the safety OF the travelling
public, and although the fnfictiOn OF fine
is hardship on Mr.. Jarrett, he will doubt
less be convinced, on reflection, that il Is his
duty as a good citizen to pay it without
grumbling.

II has been given out quite generally that
a formidable telegraph company is organ
tzing in San Francisco. The new company
say il is their intention to extend wires be-
tween all the leading cities of the country
and TO make a reduction from the present
rates. The capital stock is said TO be S25,-
OOO,oOo, of which $500 600 has been sub
scribed and ten per cent. paid in. The first
board OF directors are reported 10 be wealthy
men, with an aggregate capital OF some forty
millions The tariff rates of the new COM
pany are stated as . cents per ten words
within go miles, 80 cents within SEQ, - with
in Geo. ard one dollar beyond. a system OF
second class rates is also proposed, at a ma
terial reduction from those just given. Work
will soon begin at Chicago. New York and
Omaha, ard the new company will probably
be fully at work tefore another year closes.

SILVER RESUMPTION.

Chicago Tribune, dated June 9th. says the
"Dircctor of the Mint has received inior-

silver coin for fractional currency. Not

clined 80 pence oh the pound, according
to cable dispatch to the Secretary of the
Treasury of Thursday last but the Dircc-
tor of the Mint on yesterday purchased
a large quantity Of silver nj Car
son City for Sl07 the standard
ounce. which is y cents less than the low
British quotation. This, DIR. 1.indcrman
says, is probably the cheapest that silver
was ever bought in this country. The Lon
don quotation of Thursday, reduced to
equivalents In our money, is Sl.09l. The
purchase at Carson City WAS made

THE nREAO CENTER MUST BE THE
MANUFACTURING CENTER.

An article In the Louisville Ledger. OF
June 8. argues in this way
Laws are operating that will result In CIV
ing to the United States the heaviest pro
rata population in the world;
The great body Of this population must
locate in the valleys Of the Missouri, Mis-
sissippi and Ohio rivers;
The lands in these valleys can produce
cereals and animal food suited to the
nourishment Of the human family at a
cheaper rate than any other portion Of
the American continent
From this time forward there will be
gradual but heavy increase In every
class offood that goes to produce the high,
| est organisms of both animal and human
life within the great Mississippi valley
The centre of this valley consequently
Is, or mast become, the food centre fthe
nation, aud wherever the food centre is
there necessarily Is the c.eapest place for
men to make living for themselves aud
families. provided the other industries
can give them employment
BY q curious coincidence, where nature
has placed the food center she has also
located the coal center, the iron center,
the cotton center and the lumber center
OF the nation. These form the basis OF
manufacturing independence and sue
cess
Therefore, many large cities and man
uiacturing ccnters will necessarily arise
in the Mississippi valley;
Consequently, Louisville must become
manufacturing center, and the great ag-
rlcultural, mineral and manufacturing re-
sources OF Kentucky, Indiana and other
States will be concentrated at the Fails
of the Ohio.
Very well. The argument is good, but
all the writer says about Louisville nigh,
be said with better reason about Cairo.
Cairo is in the heart of the Valley
neither too far North or South;
II is the hcalthiest city in the world, IN
which neither malignant nor congcstivc
fevers are known;
BY her door runs two great rivers to-
ward the Gulf, aud through her limit,
run great railroads uniting the East with
the West, the North with the South
Al her door, are minerals, tucl. timber
wool, cotton ard cheap food;
She has all the natural advantages
needed to build up great manufacturing
aud commercial center;
But these natural advantages must b,
backed by public enterprise, aud thi,
Cairo lacks. Her population have no.
the necessary energy. Her people ex
pect the natural advantages OF their cit,
to crowd her, without their labor. into
greatness:
cairo must recover from the fataI
disease OF natural advantages If she would
ever become the great city she ough, 10
become and may he made.
