also claimed that he was here simply
to attend the directors meeting. He
did not know when the war would end.
There is no indication of any settle
ment being arrived at. He stated posi-
lively that no meeting had been held in
New York, nor was there any call which
looked toward p settlement of the
troubles. There was, in fact, no ma
terial difference from the first day of
the war. There had been no meeting
of stockholders or directors of the
northwestern to consider the matter,
and he did not think there would be.
He was inclined to the opinion that
some of the outside roads, like the
Illinois Central, which were directly
affected by the fight, would probably
advance some plan of arbitration.
When a settlement will be arrived at
however, all questions should be settled,
and it was more than likely that a
meeting will be held in Chicago at an
early date of managers Of the rords,
ard then the situation will be discussed.
He was not prepared to say what he
thought would be fair basis for a settle
ment.

Something for Voters to Consider.


Hon. Montgomery Blairs letter of accept.
ancc as Democratic candidate for Congress
in the sixth district, contains so many salient
points which every man who desires honest
and pure government should consider, that
we print ii below:
GENTLEMEN: / have your letter of the
18th inst, communicating my nomination as
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Sixth District. feel greatly honored by this
nomination and deeply grateful to the Demo
cracy for it, and in accepting it beg leave to
thank you for the too tattering terms used
in announcing it to me.
participate thoroughly III the desire which
animates the Democratic party and large
portion of those acting with the Republicans
to arrest the wild and protligate extravaganza
and the ruinous taxation which now charac-
tcriZcs the administration of the Federal
government and if elected | will co. operate
to the utmost of my ability with all who
share that feeling to accomplish the result
There is no installing the cause of the re-
volt of the people against the present conduct
of the government manifested in the recent
election and in the dcmoralized condition of
that party, not only in the great States of
New York and Pennsylvania, where its ex-
| istence is recognized, but in its strongholds
! throughout the country. No rejecting mind

County Roads.

The importance of good roads, both as n
matter of economy and pleasure, cannot be
easily overrated by the farmer, or the resi-
dents of rural districts generally Much has
been written and said on this subject, and
there has been more or less legislation but
the results thus far have not been satisfactory,
as drive over the great majority of coun-
try roads abundanty proves. There is need
OF thorough and systematic reform in this
matter. Viewed in its economical aspect the
loss to individuals, and breaking of harness,
the injury to teams and the waste of time in
light or heavy travel is beyond computation,
aud it is a wonder that in so many farming
sections, and where matters pertaining to
economy are so carefully considered so little
attention is given to the subject. In many
cases, of course, an expenditure beyond the
ability of the "road district" would be neces-
sary to make good road, but in most in
stances the easily-performed labor of remov-
ing the loose stones would improve the road
vastly 1t has been estimated that the dam
age to horses, wagons, and harness upon an
ordinarily travelled road ten miles in length
during the year will amount to thousands of
dollars, while the removal of the stones caus-
ing this loss would not cost hundred dol
lars. The inhabitants ofagricultural districts
should interest themselves in securing such
legislation as will insure them better roads
The SouthorR Planter has the following
remarks, which will apply with equal force
in any State:-"The law should be changed
in relation to road making so as TO conform
to the present age of progress. The times
have changed, and all road taxes should be
collected in money, and not committed in
labor. The making and repairing of roads
should be let out to the lowest competent
and responsible bidder for a term of years,
who should act under the instructions of
county road commissioner, who should be a
surveyor and civil engineer. Our present
road system is very faulty, and there are real
ly but few men that are competent overseers
of the roads. 1t is next to impossible to get
farmers TO leave their farm work to work
out road taxes, at the only season of the year
when roads should be graded-that is, the
snrinU

4 NOn.PartiSan Bench.

y "non.partisan bench is very pretty
campaign catch phrase.
And that is all it is.
ltisnow used by Republican politicians, as
a campaign phrase, in those judicial districts
that are Democratic on the popular vote
And that is all the use it has.
The object in using it at all is to induce
Democratic voters to put on the bench Re-
publican judges.
And that is its only purpose.
We challenge the whole Republican party
TO produce single instance of Republican
editor, or Republican speaker or Republican
statesman advocating the appointment of q
Democrat to the Supreme bench of the Unit
ed States, or TO any United States district or
circuit court. For twenty-five years these
appointments have been made by Republican
Presidents, and has one ofthem ever thought
of making any Federal bench non partisan
lin the Republican campaign use of the
phrase,) by the appointment of Democrat ?
Has any one OF them ever been advised to do
so by any Republican in all these twenty two
years?
Has it ever been urged by any Republican
newspaper, great or small, by any Republican
speaker in Congress, or on the stump or even
In reform conventions, that as these Federal
courts have to decide political questions, they
| should be non'partsan as far as having both
parties represented amongst their judges,
could make them?
Did any Republican, now piteously plead
ing for non-partisan State judges in Mary
land, ever say word about non. partisan
Federal judges? Oar State judges rarely have
to review political questions; our Federal
judges frequently do. Let the Republican
who advised r. b. Hayes to appoint Demo.
crat, when Judge Giles died, to sit on the
bench with Judge Bond, hold up his right
hand. Let him who limited even that Presid-
ent Grant would do well to put a Democrat
i'll the bench in even one district in the South
where it was not possible to get decent and
honest Republican, speak right out, and we
will concede to him the right to advise the
Democrats in Maryland to give the Republi.
| cans one State Judge ont of three.
We do not expect to see the sun darkened
by uplifted right hands; nor to hearthe welk.
| in ring with the outcries of the challenged
The Republican position is "non.partisan
bench" when the Democrats have the APP
ponments but partisan thoroughly partisan
uncompromisingly partisan when the Re.
publicans have the appointments.
Has any Federal court since 1860 been too
partisan for any Republican?

enough to disgrace the jurisprudence of any

Government, and with the great crops made
by the people and largely sold abroad brought
the money to the country which enabled the
Government to resume specie payments and
put us on new career of prosperity. But
the restoration of the Republicans to power
in Congress has reopened the sluices of ex-
penditures, and the appropriations for 1882,
which were ineXcusably great, are exceeded
by those for 1883 by 434 millions, and excIu-
sive of pensions and deficiencies, exceed those
of Grants last year by more than 20 millions
of dollars.
Unfortunately the Democrats in Congress
allowed the plunderers to defraud the people
of the President they elected in 1876.
Deprived of their Great Leader, the Demo-
Gratis have been baffied in their attempts to
reduce taxation; the Republicans have thus
been supplied with the means by which they
carried the election of 1880, and they now
seek to perpetuate their power and harass
the industry Of the people till another crash
comes. When that comes the capitalists will
again save themselves by shutting up their
factories and thowing their employees out of
doors until another harvest can be prepared
for them by the untiring energy and indus

One of Gods Own Men.

The father of a thousand children has Just
died in Vienna. Ferdinand Reidl was n man
of considerable wealth and was happily mar
ried, but the great regret of himself and his
wife was that they had no children, and they
concluded to act as parents of the fatherless
and motherless. For nearly quarter of a
century he was known as the father of the
orphans. He commenced by taking charge
of II couple of orphans, but his zeal and re.
pue increased to such an extent that at the
time of his death he was the legal guardian
OF more than thousand fatherless children
Those whom he adopted in this manner were
not fitfully taken up and then let drop, but
he kept conscientious watch and ward over
them, from their early education until Their
marriage or their start in adult life ut the
close of their apprenticeship. He never
sought fame or publicity, and took no credit
to himself for his devotion to those who had
no natural claim upon him.

And drink To lucky shots they scored,
And count the trophies they have won.

Or what he might have done.

And he had used his other gun.

He also told marvellous tale

A tolling shot, think he said,
When the atmosphere became quite hot
From smoking wounds of countless dead.
