Who will Lead the Minority.

1t is worth noting that the list Of
Republicans elected to the Forty
eighth House includes few names well
known to the country. Where will
the minority find the strong leader
that it needs? In Kasson OF Iowa, in
Tom Reed of Maine, in Hiscock OF
New York, in the deposcd and discre-
dited Keifer. in William Pitt Kellogg
of Louisiana, or in William Walter
Phelps Of New jersey, lately Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Penipo-
Tertiary to Austria Hungary? The
choice presented to the Republican
party does rot appear to he overload
ed with encouraging possibilities.
Yet if we turn to the other mem.
bers on the Republican side who have
made any considerable reputation,
good or bad, in public life, we find
them neither numerous nor particu-
larly available for the needs of the
party during the year preceding a
Presidential election. Messrs. Calk-
ms Of Indiana, Payson of Illinois,
Dingley of Maine, Robinson of Massa-
chusetts, Kelley of Pennsylvania, and
the humorous Horr of Michigan were
re elected. Among the Republicans
who did not sit in the Forty seventh
Congress are ex-Gov. Long Of Massa-
chnsetts, the veteran Luke p. Poland
Of Vermont, and Major Golf of West
Virginia, who for short time during
Hayes's Fraudulent Administrator
ruled over the remains of the Robe
sonian navy. l. there leader here?
Somewhere among the comparatively
unknown members on the Republican
side there may be a Brobdingnagian
intellect run by big battery of will
power; up to the present time it has
not come to the front.
What an interesting event would
be the sudden and unexpected reap
pearance on the floor of the House of
the Hon. James G. Blaine, his visor
down, and his white plumes dancing
in the breeze! Stranger things have
haaH eapd - politics. 1t is true that
Brothe. Blaine has no seat in the
present House. But the Representa-
tives from Maine were all elected at
large, and who can doubt that either
Seth L. Miliken or Charles A. Bou-
telle would cheerfully resign in order
to make way for their chief and give
their party in the House a bold,
adroit, and experienced leader?-N.

The friends ofC. L. Thompson ESQ.
of Summers County are disposed to
to urge his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Auditor, it be-
ing understood that Hon. Jos. s. Mil
Ter, the present incumbent will not
desire reelection. 1t is a long time
until the election, but we-uo not nesl-
tate to say that, in our opinion, Mr..
Thompson. would make an acceptable
and efficient officer. He has all of
the necessary qualifications and is a
man of unquestioned character and
acumen.- drertiser.

For County superintendent nj.

1t seems to be the understanding
among the friends Of Prof B. S.
Morgan that they will urge him
again for County Superintendent.
Such action on the part of our citi-
zens we regard as eminently wise,
and also as just to Prof. Morgan.
His work in that office for nearly two
years past has been very efficient and
also very satisfactory to the people OF
the county. His work shows for
itself. He arranged and published
a course of study, paying for it out
of his own pocket; be held District
Institutes; he travelled over the
County and held educational meet
ings; yet the law required none oil
this work at his hands. Again, ow-
ing to change in the school law, he
was compelled to do the work Of two
whole years in % months and only
received pay for the latter time.
Prof Morgan took charge of the
schools when they were somewhat
crippled by the inefficiency Of the
school law. He has aroused new in
terest and has the schools in good
working order. Considering all these
points, we think it would be folly to
change Superintendent. 1t will I'm
questionably be the best thing for
the county to unanimously elect him
again.
We have as yet heard of no oppo
sition and conclude from that, the
people have decided to call upon him
to serve them again.
No more painstaking, scholarly, OF
industrious officerees presided over
the schools Of this county than Prof
Morgan.

A Good Word for Country Post.
masters.

1t is we'll enough to give the people
cheap postage, but it should not be
done at the expense of country post-
masters, who are now inndequately
paid for their services. The law reduc-
ing letter postage to two cents, will
ALSO reduce the pay Of postmasters
and it is feared that many will refuse
to act, and the Offices in such cases
will be closed. One Of this class of
officers writes:
have my mind made up and have
consulted two other neighboring Post
masters and they and agree to resign
and discontinue the offices. We
would not ask any person to do what
we could not see our way clear to do
ourselves. 1t is the two cent postage
rate on letters that will reduce our
compensation so that we will have
what will be no compensation at all.
At present rates of postage good
ly portion of the fourth class postmas-
tiers are working only for the accom-.
mediation of their respective commun-
lGlcS. IL WAS dShcu WIZ VI HOW
this is, / might call your attention to
many things but will only say for the
present: A few years since they col.
lected postage on all newspapers,
magazines, ETC.. and received a com
mission on amount collected. Now,
as you are aware, all second class
matter is paid at mailing office and
the postmasters at all such offices re-
ceive their salaries whether they
collect their postage or not, and the
Post Office Department gets all, and
the country postmasters must receive
and deliver all this mail matter for
the honor of handling it; in short,
they get nothing but percentage Of
stamps cancelled on mail matter ac-
tually sent from their offices. And
at many country offices where there is
only two or three mails per week bus
mess men, who send the most letters,
very frequently find it to their ad-
vantage to have their letters reach
their destination soon, and they have
opportunities and send their letters
to some Office on the railroad to be
mailed and do not wait on their own
mails.

Republicans might rs well admit
that they have but fighting chance

that even the fighting chance" will
be ludicrous failure. The majority
will be SO large in the electoral col
lege in 1884, that the Republicans

monopoly, pitted against every
thing in its way.
But it is said that low tariffs have
always been followed by great nation
al panics; and we may add, so have
our high tariffs; leaving the question
undetermined, which; the high or the
low tariff, if either, caused the panics.
High and low tariffs have several
times followed each other in this
country. and yet it cannot he said,
that one kind Of tariff produced the
other; nor can it be told which pro
duced the panice.
The truth is, as we believe, that
neither tariff produced any Of our
panics directly; and that SO far as
they indirectly produced, or tended
to produce, then it was the high pro-
tective tariffs that did it. and this is
our reason for our faith. A high
tariff affording protection, and en-
couragement to our domestic manu-
facturers, have always had the effect
in time, to increase the amount Of the
manufactured articles, so as to cause
the supply to greatly exceed the de-
mand for them; and inasmuch as
they cannot find a foreign sale, large
amounts Law idle and unsold, not
only tying mp the capital in them,
and thus Withdrawing it from circu-
lation. for a time, but also compelling
the manufacturers to stop and shut

NEWS OF TIE RAIL.


Rumors OF Trouble the East Bound
Road-A Huge Mortgage on the Ohio
ana Mississippi.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2--Trouble is threatened in
the cast bound railroad pool. IL will be re-
memberod that some months ago the trunk
lines withdrew their soliciting agents from
the board of trade on account Of disagree
ment with tho board. Yesterday it was dis
covered that James Sharpe, agent of tho
Great Western dispatch running over tho Chi
cago and Atlantic road was on tho board.
Joint Agent Moore wrote lotter to the COM
pany demanding the withdrawal of the agont
and the company replied that it had nothing
10 do with the matter; that Mr.. Sharpe was
there not as its agent, but rs the agent of the
Union Steamboat company. IL is said that
this reply is not satisfactory, and that the
matter will be brought up at the next meet
ing of the freight committee.
A mortgage for S16,000,000 was recorded
yesterday at Springfield, Ill, Cyrus G. Hynes,
of Indiana, and the Union Trust company, of
New York, lend tho money to tho Ohio and
Mississippi railway. The object of the mort
gage is to enable the company to regain
custody of its property, which has boen in
possession of the courts under foreclosure
proceedings since 1876.

The senoy Combination.
gnsci0I TDfqndgch


LYNCHBURG, VA, Aug. 2.-Since the truth
and extent of the recent railway syndicate
formed at meeting of capitalists and officials
at Saratoga, by which the Richmond and
Danville railway and air line passed into tho
hands of what is known as the Seney combi-
nation, and embracing the Virginia, Tonnes
see, and Georgia roads, have become moro
fully developed and confirmed very Sc
rious apprehcnsions prevail here now
among the railway officials of the Norfolk
and Western that the said combination will
he very damaging TO this line and the Shena-
doah Valley by cutting Off its western and
southern connections, or compelling the
company to sell out to the Seney
syndicate upon its own terms. The Virginia
Tennessee, and Georgia road, from Bristol to
Memphis, Is the only outlet or inlet to tho
Norfolk and Western in that direction, and
with that road in the hands of hostile cor
poration, with different lines to feed, and diff
ferent points to reach and interests to sub
servo it is at once apparent how completely
the Norfolk and Western has been placed at
the mercy of the new combination, and that
serious damage has been done the value of
its stock. 1t is generally believed here that
Jay Gould is the leading factor in the new
syndicate, and it is now understood why Mai
Horny Fink, the late manager of this line,
resigned and located his headquarters at
Knoxville in place of Lynchburg to manage
the new line as favorite friend of Gould.

TwO.PhOenix Park Murderers Plead Guilty.
DUBLIN, May 2.-Delaney and Caffrey,
two Of the prisoners on trial for COM
plicity in the Phoenix park murders,
pleaded guilty to-day and were SEN
fenced to death. There are now five
men condemned to the gallOws. Before
he was sentenced, Delaney made a long
speech in which he declared he was
forced to go to the park and participate
in the assassinatiOn,IOt ,IOtherwise he would
have been murdered himself. Delaney
said he had no hand in the actual muir
der of Lord Cavendish and Burke; the
actual murderers were Joe Brady and
Tim Kelley. Brady and Mullet directed
him to murder Judge Lawson. All of
Carey's testimony and all of Kava-
naugh's information was perfectly
true. Caffrey told the court that he was
ordered to go to Phoenix park, and only
knew 20 minutes before the murder that
one was intended.
DUBLIN, May 3.-James Mullett, VIM.
Mooney and the others, when arraigned
for trial this morning, charged with
conspiracy to murder, pleaded guilty.
Hanlan was also arraigned, but plead
ed not guilty and his trial was begun.

TESTING THE sCorr LAW.

COLUMBUS, May BIN the Supreme
Court this morning the case of the At
tOrney General against the Auditor of
Athens county, for an alternative writ
of mandamus, the object being to test
the cOnstitutiOnality of the Scott law,
was taken up. The motion for the alter
native writ was granted returnable
Thursday next, the answer being due on
or before May 26. The time for arguing
the case on its merits has not been
agreed upon as yet. The court will al
low the attorneys to agree upon the
time. The Attorney General suggested
May Gath, and the attorneys on the other
side named June 11th. Other attorneys
in the case will be consulted before
determination is reached. The argument
will probably be made May 80 OF 81.
