moribund forty-seventh Congress. Not
going far enough democrats would not
accept them. but they will simply and
properly reduce the tariff In the next
session.

TIE ROAD QUESTION AGAIN.
In another column will be fount

In another column will be found y
sensi lie article on ''roads and high
ways' written by . gentleman who
understands the subject. having given
1t much thought and attention. In
one thing. however, he seems to tor
get . constitutional PROVISION. He
saYs:-"I have been seriously thinking
of late that if the money accruing to
the county from fines, penalties and
iorfeitures, that cheap demagogues
insist on pouring into the. fund,
could be util. Fed on the public roads.
that 1t would be more beneficial to the
public" There Seems to be no neces.
sity for any demsgogic clamor to this
end, az the constitution of the state
says, In article xI. section VIII,
the clear proceeds of
all penalties aud forteitures. and
OF all fines collected In the sev.
eral counties for any breach of
the penal or military laws OF the
state shall belong to and
be securely invested, and saoredly
preserved In the several counties, as .
county public school fund.-" 90. The
central idea OF our correspondence
communication, however. contains the
pith Of the road working question.
That is. that the principal thing to be
provided 10 not law, but money, and to
that point will the attention of those
who have the question In charge need
to be particularly directed.

HENRY COUNTY FAIR.

In regard to their fair the Cambridge
Chronicle says THE fair opened, and
has so far continued with air clear and
cold, and sky sapphire. The dust is the
only drawback to enjoyment in these
respects, and it is sufficient to say that
that is bad enough. With as large attend
ance to-day as Thursday usually shows,
the gate keepers faces will be without
form or cOmeliness, before night. This
misery, however, is somewhat mitigated
by the use of sprinkling cart.
The exhibition is very large and very
fine. All departments, except that of
cattle, are well filled, and Judge Human,
who is a veteran in the management, hav-
ing officiated at the first fair, held in the
court house twenty-eight years ago says
he has inspected all departments and
pronounces the exhibition the best they
have had in twenty-eight years.
The show of horses is great, and ex-
ceptionally good We have been un-
able to see the animals, and cannot par
ticularize this week.
The cattle show, although small in
comparison with some years, is a more
interesting exhibition to the public than
many larger one has been, because Of
the large display of Herefords and Jer
seys-breeds not so familiar to the people
as ShOrthoTns

THE NEXT sPEAKERsHIP.
From he 81. Louis Repnblican.

The formal withdrawal of Hon. ]. C.
Blackburn of Kentucky from the contest
for speaker of the house greatly simplif1es
that contest and probably renders the re
suit of it already discernible. Mr.. Black
burns withdrawal leaves Mr. Carlisle as
the only candidate from Kentucky, with
Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Cox
of New York as his leading competitors.
Two or three other Democrats may be
voted for by the caucus, but the struggle
will probably be narrowed down to these
three. They are all Democrats OF high
character and position, and of admitted
capacity for u parliamentary presidency.
Mr.. Randall has occupied the position
| in two congresses, and retired from it
with material addition to his reputation
as parliamentarian and statesman; and
| if there were no tariff question complicat-
ed with the approaching contest, he would
be rewarded the nomination almost with
out struggle. But the tariff is the gov
erning issue between the two great partie
for the present and must continue so for
several years to come, and unfortunately
for Mr.. Randall Mr. Carlisle and not
| he represents the Democrats of the
country on this subject There is to be
a presidential election next year, and it
is admitted that any act by the Demo
Gratis of the next house would place
them out of the plain current of popu-
lar opinion would be, if not fatal at
least very unfortunate. The popular
opinion demands lower. duties and the
Democrat party stands pledged to bring
this about at the first opportunity
| Mr.. Carlisle fairly represents the policy
of Opposition to it, The issue between
these two politics is growing sharper
every day, and it is generally recognized
by Democrats that, however much they
might desire under other circumstances
to do honor to the distinguished Penn
sylvanian, they cannot afford on the eve
of presidential election to elevate to the
speakership man who represents Re
publican opinion on the tariff more near
ly than Democrat opinion. Mr. Carlisle
seems to be Indicated as the forthcoming
speaker.
