"A contributor to the Baltimore
Sun writes the following in an article
OF recent date: "The recent purchase
OF the Washington and Ohio road
aud its franchises by the Shenandoah
company adds an important arm to
the trunk line. To attach the pur-
chase to the system it is only neces-
sary to grade and lay tracks from
Round Hill in Loudoun county TO
Berryvills, Va, a distance Of l2 miles.
The route is over the ridge, tut the
grade ia not heavy, and the cost will
he small, while the advantage to the
system will be immense. The fran.
chises include the right of way over
the Alexandria road into Washing
ton city and into the Sxth-stre ct
depot oil the Baltimore and Potomac
road.
Among the latest movements to
secure the system at Norfolk has
been the purchase of L4mbert's
Point for terminal facilities. This

industries which have come into ex-
lstence. just here, however, ought
to be pointed out the significance Of
the declaration recently made by Col.
Jed. Hotchkiss that there was mo
anthracite coal 10 Virginia worth a
button" Ii anthracite coal existed
in abundance in Virginia. some Penn
sylvania interests now allied for Vir-
ginia development would be apt to
look to home interest first. But an
thracite coal mines in Pennsylvania
and bituminous coal beds in Virginia
may be worked without any conflict
of interests by the same capital.
Anthracite has its usss, which may
not be interferei with by any
other coal, and money made
in it may be very we'll and safely
employed in developing Virginia
coal mines. if, as Col. Hotchkisa says,
and he is the best authority. there is
no anthracite coal in Virginia worth
a button"

MY DEAR MIR. PERCY: have suffered
from Hay Fever during tho last twelve
years. 1t sets in on the 18th of August,
annually, and terminates when frost ap-
pears. Have used several remedies but
without effect. This year (1SS2) have
used your preparation, which has enabled
me to attend to my business, which, before
using it, could not do. The Asthma
from which had suffered so severely, and
which almost produced suffocation, has
been completely arrested by your valuable
medicine 1t is without doubt very ex-
celent specific for Autumnal Catarrh.
Yours truly, DAVID FLYNN.

The Supreme Court at Columbus, o.,
on the 2sth gave cut its opinion in over
5, 900 words in the Scott liquor tax law,
holding il valid and constitutional, ex-
cept the second section wherein it Is
held not to apply TO leases executed
prior to the passage of the act, as no
contracts made can be violated. The
leases, however, entered into subsequent
to the passage of the law come within
its provisions, the same as rentals,
wherein the collection Of tax was a FIRST
lien on the premises, holding that TO
subject the freehold provided for by
the statute when made against tenant
for carrying on business on premises
leased prior TO the passage Of the stat
ute, wouid be the unwarrantable inter
ference with private property, subject
ing one mans property to the payment
of another's debts. If this inhrmity
can be taken cut of the statute, by APP
plying il only to cases arising under the
leases executed after the passage of the
statute, IL is our duty to so construe IT.
Every presumption must be taken In
favor of the validity of the statutes. 1t
will be presumed that the legislative in
tent was to apply the statute 20 subse-
quent leases only, if necessary to pre-
sePve il from constitutional objection.
IL will never be presumed that the leg
islature intended to pass an unconstitu-
tional law. The opinion goes into
/ lengthy argument, showing the differ-
euce between the Scott law and the
Pond law; that the latter with its bond
feature, implied licenses which is con-
stantly prohibited; that the Scott law
differs fundamentally on this ground,
and is in NO sense DEMONSTRATING to
the best authori ies-on the definition
of license. The point is made that de-
claring one section partially null and
void does not destroy the law as a
whole and its legality is not thereby af-
fected. Oakley dissents; johnson, Nc

In a recent telegraphic letter Mr..
W attersou holds out this seductive pros
pect to the leading candidate for the
speakership:
After his chief, the sage Of GreystOne,
no man in the United States l. so mas
terful in the business Of fiscal investiga-
ton and arrangements as Mr.. Randall.
He is an expert in the details of legisla-
tive work On the floor he is a bull
dog. If he should decline the Speaker
ship; il he should re.ire from attempted
leadership in tariff legislation, he would
be conceded the actual leadership of
the House. As chairman Of the Appro-
priatiOns Committee he could bring In
a measure Of retrenChment and reform
which, aside from the issue il would at
once Join with Republican wastefulness
and corruption, would send his name
resOunding through the land and warm
and rouse every Democratic heart
There is brilliant figure for Mr.. Ran
dali here. There is a genuine leader
shin. There is, above all, harmony for
his party and great public usefulness.
Is the Speakership worth more? And
would you or any rejecting person be
taken aback il Mr.. Randall should come
to view the situation in this purer light
and should surprise and rejoice true
Democrats everywhere by ultimately
declining a contest i'm which he has lit
he or nothing 90 gain and everything TO
l0seg
How silly such twaddle sounds be-
side hard, common-sense like this from
the New York San, of the same date as
Mr.. Watterson's letter:
In all probability the fall elections
will generally go in favor Of the Demo
Gratis; and then comes their decisive
trial. Their responsibility will begin
in earnest with the meeting of Con-
gross. The election of Speaker will be
the first important test of their good
/ sense and sagacity.
The country will watch with the
/ greatest interest the projects Of legisla-
l ton in the House of Representatives
| although, in view of a Republican Sen
ate and Republican President to couu-
/ teract political measures, little legisla
/ ton can be expected.
| Upon one subject the people are unit
ed, Irrespective of party. They want
| honest and economical government
and the House of Representatives car
4 meet the popular expectation by simple
| and direct methods. The public eX
penditures have swollen inordinately
Offices have been multiplied improper
/ ", and excessive revenues are collected
To create a surplus for extravaganza anc
/ spOliatiOn.
A majority of,sixty-four is not easily
managed, with the loose discipline tina
has heretofore existed on the Demo
cratic side; but IS tie conduct of thii
majority will have a most important in
fiuence upon the chances of the mex
Democratic candidate for the Presiden
cy, the need is so much the greater tina
the Speaker of the House of Represent
| atives should be a man able to dea
with the questions of reform thai viii
present themselves for settlement. Sam
