The announcement Of the establish
.nent Of another ZACHARY in the peniten
tiary Of this State, is II piece OF news
which shows the Importance Of as early
completion of the Columbia Canal as
possible. We now have two factories,
the shoe factory and this stocking factory,
in the walls of the penitentiary, run by
the little power of the present Canal.
These enterprises employ convicts at re-
munerative prices, and consume all the
power which the Canal now has. As
soon as the Canal is completed, We will
be able to lease out for long terms, all
the convicts to companies working inside
our prison walls. AS things stand now,
convicts are principally used OH the
phosphate works, which is very unheal-
thy employment, from the fact that they
are situated in malarial regions, and a
great deal of the time the convicts are
Kept working in water. The result of
this is u very large death rate, and also
the constant return Of broken down
hands to the penitentiary to be nursed
and supported during sickness, at the
expense Of the State. Humanity re-
quires that this mode of employing con-
victs shall be abandoned as soon as the
State can arrange to employ the convicts
inside Of tho prison. There is, however,
a good financial reason, also, for the
change, which may be found not only in
the increased prosperity induced by
manufacturing, but also in staple wages
for the convicts. Under the present
system of work, the wages paid for con-
victs depends on the price of fphosphates.
Last year they were hired out at fifteen
dollars per month. This year they only
bring twelve and half dollars per
month. Next year they may tall to
eight or ten. If we had the labor en-
gagged in manufacturing upon long con.
tracts, the State would not be subject to
these fluctuations in prices. The estab.
lishment of this stocking factory shows,
also, that the idea of waiting to have
capital ready to build factories before
the State developes her Canal is not good
policy. Two months ago no one could
have pointed out the capital that is now
going into this business as ready for in
vestmcnt here, and yet by having the in
ducements ready it quietly comes in and
we get the benefit of its location in this
State, while it would have gone else.
where, and we would never have known
anything of the chance of getting it, if
our facilities had not been ready to offer
them. This investment is of course
comparatively small, but it shows the
necessity of being ready to attract capi-
tai If we want it. In ten years after the
completion of the Columbia Canal, the
City Of Columbia will equal Augusta in
manufacturing importance.

Some weeks ago. we state! that the
power of the Augusta Cana! WAS now
practically utilized by manufacturing
establishments. The Augusta papers
state that 100000 has been pu. into
this business in that city since the cen
sus of 1850. Il not this pretty good as.
suranco that a similar development of
water power in this State will be the
source Of great manufacturing develop
ment here? If Augusta had waited
about building her Canal until she knew
where the money WAS coming from to
put factories on it before building her
Canal, the Savannah would skill he flow
ing unprodnctyc along the limits Of her
city, where now the busy hum Of ma
chincrv is heard, anording employment
to hundreds OF operatives, and giving
prosperity and thrift to the whole COM
munity. Fortune only smiles upon those
who lay hold of the good things nature
puts in our reach, and the people who
adopt the Micawbcr plan Of waiting for
something to turn up, will, like Micawber,
spend their days in this Improbable
employment, and end in stsgnation,
while their progressive ueighbors around
them will grow and. prosper in proPor-
ton 10 their thrift and energy.
For three weeks now the public has
suffered from the railroad outrage i'm
posed upon travellers on the Blue Ridge
Railroad, and yet no effort has been
made by the Railroad Commission to
give them any relief Indeed, the Com
mission has not even appeared to notice
the fact, which is patent to everybody
else in the State. I. may be that the
Commission is waiting for some formal
presentation Of the grievance for their
action. This is probably the explana.
ton Of the failure to act, for we cannot
believe that tho outrage will be sane.
toned by the Commission. 1t bchoovos
every city, town and village, along the
line Of the Blue Ridge, to memorialize

cnt railroad tyranny. Let lis test the
matter promptly before, by ncIuescence,
we give color to the propriety of the
change, which entails 80 much inconven.
icncc and actual danger to tho travelling

us in this matter, it is a worthless ma
chine, which hnd better be abolished rs
soon rs possible, for if the State either
cannot or will not protect its citizens
against such corporate jnsolcnce and
tyranny, then We had better no, have tho
prctense to worry and vex our masters
into such exercise Of sovereign, arbitrary
power. | this is 80, let w throw our
selves entirely upon the charity of our
sovcrcigns. If, however, the State can
help her subjects, as the friends Of tho
present railroad Legislation believe, this
is n good instnnce in which TO exhibit

at once and test the efficacy Of the pres
ent railroad law.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Senator Sherman Points Out Some Dangers
and Utters Word of Caution.


Speech Before Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce.
At the end of the harvest this year you
will have to deal with very good crop, and

of the products around here. We have Sc
cured as the agency of your commerce the
best currency on the earth. Then we have

that in this country are better than in any
civilized land. Gentlemen, / congratulate
you upon these things
There are some things also that ought to
be subjects of warning and caution to bust
ness men. 1t cannot be denied that in the
last four or five years in this country large in
vestments have been made in property that
does not pay now. 1t is true, therefore, that
at this time there are a great many invest
ments in the market that do not pay and
that there has been decline in prices caus-
ing hard times among business men. We
know from experience that this is only tenn
porary. There is another thing 1 feel
at liberty to mention to you. AT
the last session of Congress did my best
for the bill on the taxation of liquors-that
is, the trade in spirits or liquors. After some
considerable trouble We were able to pass a
bill in the Senate, but when sent to the
House 1t was not acted upon. There may
be, according TO the judgment of the legis
lator and according to the judgment of the
people different rule as regards the taxa
ton OF liquors. We know that the liquor
traffic. do not speak of it in its common
sense-may be regarded in a somewhat diff
ferent light as an object of taxation. There
fore, l was in favor of relief for the time be-
ing. AS matter of course, this property
must pay its tax, and say to you now, that
while 1 expect liquor men to pay taxes
cording to law, I will not myself vote for
any law that means a confiscation on any
property that belongs to my fellow-citizens.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks and reduc-
ton of the prices of investments all over
the country, the prospects OF business are
good in this country, and you can go on and
over the country and l find that, while
there are some drawbacks and some troubles,
yet, on the whole l find an advance and in
crease In prosperity, encouraging men of
business to go ahead and push things with
all their might

CARLIsLE's ASPIRATIONS.
He Stands Ready to Accept the Speakership
or Senatorship.

LOUISVILLE Sept. "A special to the
Courier-Journal, from Frankfort, says: Hon.
and Mrs. John G. Carlisle are here, the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Saffell, and will
remain until after the Inauguration of
Governor Knott. In conversation with the
Courier-Journal correspondent, Mr. Carlisle
said his candidacy for the United States Sem
ate is just as it has always been; that 1t
would be ridiculous in him to say he would
not accept such high position if the people
should confer the honor upon him, but it
would be untrue to say that he was candi-
date in the sense in which it is commonly
viewed-button- holing and trickstering for
the vote of the General Assembly. He said
he knew nothing of Mr.. Blackburn's inten-
ton to decline the race for the speakership,
and was first apprised of it by the
Courier-J Journal which was brought to
him at the springs but he does not yet know
Mr.. Blackburn's intention respecting his
vote and influence, excepting that he is OPP
posed to Mr.. Randall. Regarding the latter, he
said that whilst he is somewhat crafty within
the lines of party organization, he is still
politically honorable, and too good a Demo-
crat to think of seeking the speakership at
the hazard of party interests, and that, view
ing the race in that light, the present indica-
tons gave him reason to believe that Mr.
Randall would really not permit his name to
go before the caucus, for he knows he will
suffer defeat. 1t is true, he continued. COM
pllcations may yet arise of which | am igno-
rant, and l have no doubt Mr.. Randall will
endeavor-to draw some Southern or Western
member into the race, in order to break into
my ranks, but since it requires ninety-nine
to nominate, and L already have many more
pledged votes than any other candidate, and
nearly enough to secure the nomination, 1
think it very probable l will receive the
honor OF being the next Speaker.

Said 1: But there is no question about
Lew. Wallace being an earnest man, is
there?"
Not bit. He is in earnest in everything
he does He is something of a martinez.
For instance, no matter what his troops have
been doing all day, he wants them to come
up on dress parade at night as if they were
on the smooth and cool lawn of West Point
Military Academy. He was reproved at the
battle of Shiloh for not getting up into the
action soon enough. The simple fact was
that he was told to march at a certain time.
He did march. but not knowing anything
about the country he took the wrong woods
path, and it did not bring him out where he
was expected to be. No man of common
sense imputed to Wallace any desire not to
be where he was wanted"

THE FASCINATING NOBLEMEN.
An irish Lord Who Has Won Baltimore
Heiress from Her Other Admirers.

Letter in National Republican.
Society circles are agitated over the report
ed betrothal, at Newport, OF Miss Rebecca
Williams, daughter of Hon. George Hawkins
Williams, president of the Maryland Senate,
and Hon. NJ P. Herbert, an Irish member of
the House of Commons, and the owner of the
most magnificent estates on the Emerald isle.
Miss Williams is one of the reigning bellies of
Baltimore society. She is stylish and pretty,
vivacious in manner, and a charming con-
versationalist She is BESIDES an heiress in her
own right to the tune OF at least half mill
ion dollars; and at the death of her father
will inherit a considerable share of his large
wealth. II is not, therefore, at all surprising
that Miss Williams should have had, as she
has had, scores of admires, and more than
ordinary interest has been manifested to
know upon whom she would bestow her
hand. A few weeks ago Mr.. Herbert came
to this city on visit and was guest at the
Maryland club. He was also entertained by
a number of society people, and thus made
the Acquaintance of the future mistress of
his vast estates. When Miss Williams went
to Newport, Mr.. Herbert, who, by the way,
is a gentleman of middle age and decidedly
handsome also found it convenient to visit
that delightful resort, and his attentions to
Miss Williams were so marked that the news
of the betrothal did not create as much sur
prise in society circles there as it d d in this
city. The wedding will take place during
the fall or early in the winter, and
will prove social event OF extraordinary in
terest. Mr.. Herbert comes OF illustrious
stock, the distinguished Irishman represent
ing line of ancestors as far back as the days
of Henry " by which monarch Sir William
Herbert was knighted. Henry Arthur Her
bert, father of the gentleman who captared
the heart of Miss Williams, was born on the
Muckross estate and married in 1887. He was
Lord Lieutenant of his county and repre-
sented it for several years in Parliament.
His son is the present owner of Muckross,
which is said by some persons to be the most
magnificent estate in Ireland, embracing as
it does the world-renowned lakes of killar-
ney. The famous Muckross abbey is also To-
Gated on the estate, which is the largest in
the south of Ireland.
