Quite handle was made by the republican
papers before the last election of letter OF
Wade Hampton to John Sherman, at the close
Of which Hampton said his post office address
was Charleston, =. G. 1t was construed to
mean challenge, and much holy horror was
evinced at the thought of any body proposing
to perfora.e the hide of so eminent q political
saint as John Sherman with cold lead. In
recent letter to Bishop Howe MIR. Hampton
turns the laugh on Sherman by showing how
ridiculously the letter had been misconstrued
He says he had hastily written the letter from
Charlottesville, Va, and expecting reply, had
meant simply to inform Sherman that the an
swer should not be addressed to Charlottesville
but to Charleston, S. G. That was all.

An important, long protracted and expen.
sive litigation, involving the patent right for
manufacturing barbed wire for fencing, was
brought to an end last week by decision in
which Judges Drummond and Blodgett join.
ed, in the L. S. Circuit Court at Chicago The
decision covers fourteen different suits, and is
in all OF them in favor of the complainan,s
the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing com
pany, of Worcester, Mass, and l. l.. Elwood
of DeKalb, this state, who are Jointly inter
ested IN the patents involved, and are also
largely engaged in the manufacture and sale
Of barbed fence WIRE Under this decision all
persons who have been manufacturing and
selling the infringing barbed wire are liable
for back damages. 1t is understood that mum.
erous other suits In Iowa, Missouri and
other states have been held In suspension
awaiting this decision and will now be pushed
to conclusion, as the compliments are thus
held TO be the only parties who have the righ
to manufacture and sell barbed fence wire.

FOREIGN.

The situation in Ireland, in word, is, that
the courts can no longer do business, the
landlords can't sell the produce of their
farms, and in some localities are IN danger of
their lives, no new leases can be made, as
renters refuse to agree on the rates they are to
pay, and general breakup of the present
agricultural system is at hand, unless there is
some speedy, radical change IN the land tenure.
The only immediate remedy the English
government has to offer is to garrison the
country with $1,000 soldiers and policemen
already there, and troops are being poured IN
daily from Malta, Gibraltar, England and
even Canada is to be requ,stioned for troops.
And yet the Land-Leaguers do not seem to
want war. Boycetting answers all their pur-
poses.
The ultimate remedy to which the govern
ment seems to be looking, on the meeting OF
parliament in January, is a possible agree
ment TO what Is known as the three F's-
meaning fair rent, fixity of tenure, and free
sale. OF course, Parnell and the League, who
are really looking to independence, will not
be satisfied, but 1t Is believed that the grant
ing of the three F's by parliament would SO
weaken the power of the League that the
country would accept the measure and quiet
down. ..
The foot and mouth disease of cattle is
spreading alarmlngly throughout England.
The British have not only an annoying
war on their hands in South Africa, with the
Basutos but the Beers are again troublesome
and clamoring for independence. They have
issued proclamation i'll which, while assert
Ing that they respect the British flag and the
British Queen. they are determined to be in
dependent About 1900 of them have al
ready taken the field. An ungracious critic
su guests that they have secret understand
| ing with Parnell. Why not?

That the people of La Sale county need legis

That the people of La Sale county need legis-
lation to secure relief in the circuit court is evi
dent to more people than the legal fraternity.
Cases now by the crowded condition of the doc
ket are so long delayed in reaching trial that
frequently the delay amounts TO denial Of JUS
tice. Several meetings Of the bar have been
held at which the question has been discussed.
The result reached is that two bills have been
prepared by Mr.. II. T. Gilbert, which have been
presented and explained to our members of
the legislature who will secure their passage II
possible. The one bill calls for the organization
of probate court as granted by the constitu-
ton to counties having over $4,000 population.
The bill, however, would establish such courts
only in counties having over 10000 population.
This court would transact the probate business
now in the hands of the county court Efaving
relieved the Judge Of the county court OF the
probate business by bill number one, bill number
two seeks to extend the jurisdiction OF the
county court in counties in which probate courts
are or may be established" The bill is as fol-
lows:
ST. Be it enacted By the people of the sfate Of
Hliuois represented in Ms General Assens6lss That,
in all counties in which probate courts are or
may hereafter be established, in additions to the
jurisdiction now conferred upon them by law,
county courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction
with the circuit courts in all cases at law and in
equity, except criminal cases where the punlsh
ment may be death or confinement in the peni-
Tertiary.
So The process, practce ana pieaGhgs ID
said county courts in the cases IN which Juris.
diction is conferred upon them by this act shall
be the same as in the circuit court In similar
cases, and the process, orders, judgments and
DEGREES of said courts shall have the same forms,
force lien and effect in like cases ia the cir.
cult courts, and all snal orders Judgments and
DEGREES of said courts in such cases Esaay be re-
viewed by appeal or writ OF error In the same
manner and upon the same terms and condi-
tions as is provided by law for like cases in the
circuit courts.
IS. The clerks of said county coarts shall
charge and collect like fees as the Clerks OF cir
cult courts for similar services.

The Worlds Fair committee in New York
city, after many iruitless efforts to secure Cen,
trail Park as the place for holding the project
ed worlds fair of 1888, have selected site al
Inwood, about eight miles from Union Square
ON the Hudson River and New York Central
Railroad. The tract contains about $50 acres
There is great complaint however, of back

lists and business men to subscribe the neces
sary stock to make the fair success, and the
management, are IN anything but buoysni

THE RAILROAD MoNopoLIsrs.

J, The railroad monopolists have considered
OF sufficient Importance to hire Mr.. Georg
Ticknor Curtis to pen a reply to Judge Black
letter insisting that the railroads OF the coun
! try being the creatures of the state, set up fol
the use and convenience of the public may b,
regulated by the state; that they may be com
PEELED by law TO fix their rates, and to max,
them just and reasonable, without extor,or
and without discrimination. Mr. Curtis, in
expressing the views of his employers, hold.
on the contrary that the charters of the rail
roads are contracts with the state, which may
not be disturbed; that the companies are alb
solutely irresponsible as to their charges that
they may eXtort not only, in the language OF
railroad men, "all that the traffic will bear, ~
but more, and so kill it outright; they may
and more Tor short distance than for long
one; and they may increase and diminish their
charges at WILL with or without notice to the
public.
From which reasoning Of Mr. Curtis it re,
suits, as the New York SIN puts it, that when
the state creates corporation to carry mer-
chandise forthe accommodation of its people,
it creates power greater than itself, an tmpe-
rium in imperio, which may tax its people to
the utmost limit of their ability 10 pay; which
may make a favored class by discriminate
IN favor of some and against others and
which may exercise at It's will the most ire
mendous powers of government with absolute
responsibility. This statement of his logic
is not the re6Hctio dd dbSurdum; it Is the
thing he says He will, of course, admit that
there is legal possibility, though unfortu-
nately not the remotest probability, of the for,
felture of charters for misuse. But on his the.
DRY this is no remedy at all since he maintains
that the abuses complained Of are not abuses
but perfectly legitimate exercise of lawful
power under an inviolable contract and so
far from justlfying proceeding for forfeiture,
they furnish no ground for even the mildes,
form of interference by the sovereign"
When, some eight or ten years ago, the rail
roads in somewhat similar way formulated
their pretensions and proceeded to act upon
them, the "grangers" of the west rose up as
one man in opposition, and the result of the
fight was to teach the monopolsts that it
would pay them at least to ego slow" in that
business. AS they are again beginning to put
on their lofty airs, isn't 1t about time for the
'grangers" again to wake up?

than was expected. The attendance up to Thurs
day evening had been light, but that evening a
large crowd gathered in attracted BY the voting
on the watch to the most popular young lady in
Ottawa. The contest soon narrowed down to
Miss Fannie BEEN and Virginia Hook. The
voting in the evening was steady, but the totals
remaining about even until just as the last cal!

the tissue ballot and deposited 400 in one bunch,
making her $40 and Miss BEEN 800. There
were 20 other votes on other candidates. In the
contest for the cane for the most popular minis
