IT Is reported from Washington
that the whisky interest will take
part in the election of the next speak
er of tho house. In that case the
whisky interest will have to go to the
Republican minority to find a candi-
date in favor of maintaining the pre-
sent high rate of tax on spirits.
Neither Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Carlisle nor
Mr.. Cox will servo their purpose, as
Mr.. Randall is in favor of the imms-
diats and total repeal Of the whisky
tax, and the others are in favor of its
reduction. Ex-Spsaksr Ksifer is their

/ PROMINENT New England paper

A PROMINENT New England paper
asserts that the record of improve
ment in the South is equal to the
wonderful surprises in Western
growth, and the field is so inviting to
capital and labor, that it promises to
become the richest section of the
country. The rapid development of the
West was occasioned by her railroads,
and the same thing is now going on
in the South. The South had few
railroads before the war, and her gen.
eral prostration prevented them for a
long time after. 1t has scarcely been
ten years since she really began her
upward course of progress and de-
velopment, nor did she get fully under
way until about seven years ago,
when capital turned its attention to
Southern railroads. Since that time
there has been great increase of her
railways, and as the work continues
we may expect still more satisfac-
tory showing at the end of the next
decade.
