DiEble end Ranc all.

CONGRESSMAN Samuel Dihhle from the
first District Of this Stn!c is just now rcceiv :
ing good deal OF attention from the press
ut the State because he has declared his in
tem;on to voc for S. Randall tor Speak
r,r of the next House. Mr.. Dihblc has pub
iishcd IL long letter in defense of his pro-
posed suYre,T of MIR. Randall.
The Nc,rs and Courier is bringing the
free trade lash down on Mr. Dihblc to make
linn vote for Carlisle, of kehtncky, but Mr..
Dilblc is not made of the Kind of staff to be
moved from what he thinks is right hy any
such means. We admire his pluck and in
dependence, though it may be he has taken
n wrong course. MIR. Randall, it is asserted
by the pnrrrs opposing iim, is 1lc friend
and ally Of the proleclionist. Alocropolist tar.
j # robbers, &c. Upon the other hand it is
claimed That MIR. Carlisle is IL &C trader
Ante Mouop"tst, &C., and represents tn,
true sentiments ufa majority Of the Demo.
Gratis Of the Country and the best interests
of the people.
This tariff question il n perpleXing one
and not one half the voters of tGis country
have given it thonghr enough to know
whether they are really free traders or pro.
icctionist. But, while VIC are opposed to
the protection policy Of the Republican
party, which builds up huge monopolirs
nnd protects rich corporations at the ex>
pcnse Of the agricul'uralist and consumers
Of the country, we are at the sane time of
the opinion of MIR Dibblc, in reference to
making the tariff the main issue in the next
Presidential election. That very issue, con-
rributcd rs much. if not more, to the de-
feat of Hancock in 1889 than anything else.
lf il is made the leading issue in 1884, the
Republicans wilt win NgaSm y certain
amount of money has to be raised every
year 10 meet the current expenses of The
Government and pny the interest on the
public debt. This must be done either by
import duties or direct tnxnlion. The
former is preferable, and until the public

Oh the Highway.

10 lie Editor Of the Pichcns Scatincl:
Seeing your colhhans arc open for
all who desire to give their views
on the pabFc h ghway question, u
matter of tho greatest importance
that could be mentioned in my
Vtew, submit few thoughts for
publication. There is nothing moro
important than good roads, aud
nothing speaks better nor cfahanccs
the value of property moro tban
good highways. In tho FLh towns
ship, in which | reside and which |
suppose is as mountainous as any in
the County or State, We havo 40
called roads kept up by the public,
but some are not roads, nor never
will be while they remain whero
they arc withoWt dumping and maxi
ing fills. There are IL number of
hills on the so called roads that
Will rlse about one foot in tour.
Therp have been petitions sent TO
tho County Commissioners TO make
some changes, but every one they
lay off seems to turn somebody's
John quilts on the Wrong side of the
house. So they flo objections and
that stops the wheels us it appears
the law stops right there. So while
tho law stands still as now. the
roads will mover be fit to travel. A
general l., ~locatlnn OF IT, @ roads is
the first thing that must take place,
thcp the law rs it now stands is
good enough. Some peopIe cry tax
tho people. That in my view is tor
want OF II better consideration, or II
thought OF getting II contract and
working IL with pine brush and
leaving it worse than he found il,
and enter suit against the Commits
slonerS for his pay and take men of

OF June, 1883. TWO fares were paid him and
he accounted for only one on his return
lhere was much more evidence, but this is
the substance OF it all.
The defendants oforcd no eri,lcncc.
The justice decided that lhcrc was rea =
son"hle cause. Then there was much DIS
cuSSion in reference to the amount of the
bonds. The justice decided that he would
require Of MIR. Adams 81, 300 justified
bond, and two bonds from Nrsb, in the
sum OF 500 each. The parties were bound
over TO the Interior Court
Albums gave bond nt once, and on We'd

was committed to inl.

Four of the Deputies he stated, had been

cases where there had been overchorrcs
the Deputies clearly proved their innocence.
and showed that their accounts had been
