A Monster Telescope.

The principal bequest Of the late James Lick,
of California, was 500, 900 to be devoted to the
purchase of land and to putting upon the same
telescope, superior and more powerful to any
yet made, besides all the necessary machinery.
together with q suitable observatory connected
Herewith. In order that itNbe made useful In
the promotion Of astronomical research. il was
stipulated in the will Of the deceased philan-
thropist that upon its completion it should he
transferred to the state, to be known as ''The
Lick Astronomical Department of the Uniyer-
sity of California"
The contract for the construction OF the
achromatic astronomical object glass, having
thirty-six inches clear aperture, was let to the
firm of Alvan Clark & Sons, of Cambridgeport,
Mass. in January, 1881, for the sum of $4,000,
Sl2, 600 of which was paid on signing. The
glass is deliverable at Cambridgeport on or be-
fore November1, 1888. The definition of the
glass shall be, in all respects not inferior to
that of the telescope Of twenty-siX inches aper-
ture of the United States Naval Observatory at
Washington, and the amount of light shall be
the objective, allowances being made for the
absorption Of light by the glass. It Is also
stipulated that the constructors shall give to
the objective such focal length between fifty
and sixty feet as they may determine to be
best The trustees are allowed to designate
what two rays or portions of the solar spectrum
shall be brought to one focus by the combined
action Of the lenses. or failing to do this, the
contractors may fashion the curves of the glass
SO as to give the most perfect achromatism.
The objective is to be completed and perfected
within two years after satisfactory rough discs
are obtained by the constructors.

mostly with means acquired elsewhere, Of
elegant and tasteful structures for private resi-
dences and local business purposes. These are
an essential feature of o national capital They
will increase in numbers, costliness and archi-
tectural beauty just in proportion as the city
SHALL in its general features, be made attractive.
1t is not my purpose to discuss or make any
suggestion as to the amount of tax to be imposed
upon the inhabitants Of the city. That is mat
ter for the discretion of Congress. If the
present tax is too small. let it be increased. My
argument concerns only the principle and pur-
pose of such taxation 1t is tax imposed upon
them 10y the representatives of the people
of the United States for the privilege of
living in the national capital, and for the protec
ton and advantages ola local government created
and controlled by national authority. For these
purposes any tax which Congress sees fit to
impose is legitimate But it is not legitimate
purpose Of such taxation to raise means for car
rying ont scheme Of general improvement for
the national capital The execution of such a
scheme concerns the people of the United
States, and in respect to it the inhab-
itants of the city have neither authority
nor responsibility. 1t is an abandonment of the
whole idea OF the establishment and mainte-
nance of a national capital to assert that the
tine pursy of its its wsasp sup aai
the beauty Of it's surroundings shall be wholly
or partially dependent upon the ability of its
residents to contribute proportional part
towards the expenses of its Improvements. To
the extent of their ability. and in just proportion
to the ADVANTAGES derived by them from such
improvements. let them pay taxes into the ma
tiOnal Treasury. But there is no reason why
the placing of this capital under conditions
worthy Of the nation by which it was estab-
lished, Ito which it exclusively belongs and by
which it is exclusively governed and con-
troiled, should be limited or made to depend
upon any such accidental factor as the tax
paying ability of the small fragment of its pop
ulation, who have chosen it as place of resi-.
dence. H.

OF forest and mineral land. A Mr.. Henderson of
Pittsburg, is buying largely in Wise county.
The price of land ranges from one to ten dollars
per acre. Capitalists are seeking these lands
for their minerals and fine timber. We called at
Mr.. George KilgOre's, an intelligent gentleman,
long residing here. We saw upon his farm
great variety of fruits growing in perfection,
and the crops upon his farm attested a soil of
the best quality. Every condition seemed pres
lation is complete. The mountain walls close
in round it, and seem to imprison the few Heo-
pie who live there. Still this is only apparent:
plenty and contentnent were attested in the
air OF comfort around these homes and the
healthful and cheerful faces we met. The
county town ia q little hamlet of two or three
hundred people. Litigation is rare, and crime
almost unknown. Only railroad communion
ton is needed to make this rare and favored
site for colonies OF industrious and intelli-
gent people. Leaving this beautiful and
fertile glade region we ascend another
mountain nearly thousand feet by zig
gag tracks. The grand forests again enclose us,
and we never tire pointing out and admiring the
giant trees which tower above us on either side
Now and then we stop and measure some of ex-
ceptiOnal size. While We journey on q more
comfortable road than usual we met lone
horseman leading his tired animal. He was the
first traveller We had seen for sixty miles. His
fne dark. intelligent face invited acquaintance
SO we broke the ice by asking about the route
over the Cumberland range. He proved to be
q relative of our old friend Dr.. Snodgrass 30
long the faithful secretary Of our Fruit Grow
ers' association. Like him, he was full OF infor-
nation, which he kindly dispensed to Us. He

To Republlc.n window Men.

Your position though not provided
for by the law is q very important one.
Upon you depends the acceptance or
rejection OF the votes Of scores of Dem
ocra ic repeaters tomorrow. These re-
peattrs have been enrolled by Demo
cratic ward workers and have been 10
Gated and given fictitious names. They
will come to the polls under the name
of some delinquent taxpayer. They
will have legal receipt, and they will
be ready to give in a moment the place
of their residence. This is all well un-
derstood by Democratic window mon
and as we'll llnd derstood by some Demo-
cratic inspectors. When John Smith
who is a repeater, Of course, comes to
offer his vote there will be no opposi-
ton offered by Democratic window
men, and Democratic inspectors in the
inside will be in hurry to put the vote
in the box. Republican window men
you have your block book. opJect
promptly to the name ofJohn Smith un'
til you can find it on your block book
or until you are fully convinced that he
has u right to vote evon if his name has
been omitted from the block boob.
There should be no captious objections
for the sake of objections. Let all well
known honest Democratic voters cast
their ballots without objection-rather
aid them In voting, but If man pre-
sents himself to vote who is a stranger
in the district, promptly object until
he proves his residence and his right to
vote. Ifevery window man will follow
this guide, an Honest election will be
the result, no matter which party is
successful.

Republican AsS1nHamt AuSpeSaOFS'
A word to the Republican assistant
inspectors of Democratic election dis
tricts. You have an important duty TO
pel form tJ-morrow. The down town
wards, all Democratic, are we'll stocked
with repeaters. Boarding houses are
full OF them. They will vote at every
district in the city tomorrow, If per
mitted to do SO, and they will repeat
the vots if they possibly caD. 1t de-
pends on you, Republican assistant In
spectsrs, whether they.dO 80 or not
Now what is your duty when repeat
or comes up to vote and his vote is
challenged 2 Simply not to permit 1t to
be put in the ballot box until it is de-
cided by a majority of the board of In
spectors. An inspector has no right to
put ballot in the box that has been
challenged until submi lifted to the
Board and the evidence produced to
show that the person offering the bal
lot has right to vote. Republ ican IL
spector, if an attempt is made to put
the ballot of a challenged voter in the
ballot box without the evidence of the
right to vots being produced and with
out submission to the board Of inspec
tors, it is your duty to clap your hand
quickly over the opening of the ballot
box before the vots is deposited. Have
you the necessary grit and backbone to
do that? If you think you have not
then do not accept the position. Back
out and let some one else take the place.
This is plain, practical advice, but it is
exactly what is wanted. Are you
equal for the emergency? Think over
it. An honest and fair election must
be held tomorrow. The untrameled
voice Of the people must be expressed
at the BALLOT box, and that voice must
not be allowed to be expressed by re
peaters. Some Of the men whom the
Democrats have elected inspectors o.
the Democratic districts were engaged
in aiding repeaters to vote in 1879
when the election was nothing but th'
veriest farce. These men need watch
ing.
They are not the more honest tina
they are inspectors of elections bu
rather they have been selected becaus
of their known adaptedness to hell
Democratic repeaters to vote and Il
prevent hOnesU Republicans from vot
ing. Watch these men. Watch tn
Tenth Ward. Watch the Eleventh
Ward. Watch the Third Ward. Watcl
the First Ward. Watch the Secont
Ward. Watch the Fourth Ward, ant
in turn let every Democratic assiStan
inspector of Republican wards do ex
actly what we have advised Republican
assistant inspectors 10 do in Democratic
wards. 1t is poor rule that will no
work both ways, and nothing will Il
