R.RHANDALL'S POSITION.

A Pennsylvania supporter of Mr..
Randall says the tariff reformers are
divided between Messrs. Carlisle and
Cox, while the protectionists and
those who do not want the tariff med
died with will vote solidly for Ran
dali, whose votes will exceed that of
either of his opponents. Some of
Cox's supporters will vote for Randall
sooner than for Carlisle, and some of
Carlisle's friends will vote for Randall
in preference to Cox, while the solid
Republican delegation will sympa-
thiZe with Randall and exert a pow
erful pressure on the house. This is
the way Mr.. Randall's friends put the
case. But it is admitted that the
Pennsylvania is Il minority candi-
date, and that his only hope of cleo
ton is as a compromise candidate.
VIII the Democrats compromise on
Mr.. Randall when it is seen that he
is pushed to the front by Republi-
can influence, that he is selected by
them as the Democrat to be re-
warded, because of his adhe-
sion to an anti-Democratic policy.
If Mr.. Randall and his friends, some
of whom, it is said, are among our
Texas congressman, can take to them
selves any pleasant consolation as
Democrats on these declarations, they
are certainly very strange Democrats
Certainly no Democrat caring for the
principles of his party or for his own
self-respect, as strongly put by a
contemporary, will be likely
to vote for a candidate on such
grounds. 1t is also said by Randalrs
friends that large number of the
members of the next house are new
men, and exceedingly cautious; and
they will sooner vote for an old speak
er like Randall than for a candidate
who has never held the office. 1t
does not speak very highly
for a candidate that he builds his
hopes of election on men who do not
know him. 1t is sort of confession
of q want of confidence on the men,
bers of the house who do know
him which Mr.. Randall will hardly
forgive his friends for making. But
they may tell the exact truth. The
members who have been associated
with Randall longest are the least
likely to vote for him; they know him
too well. The new men are more
likely to vote for Mr.. Carlisle, who
has served in the house for a good
many years, and who is known to lie
one of the most accomplished parlia-
mentarians in the country. Randall
is known to be tyrant in the chair,
and members will hardly agree that
they shall have no voice as advisers
in the administration of the house.
The New York Star makes a forcible
point against the selection of Mr..
Randall when it says: "If the Demo-
Gratis want to elect a Republican
speaker let them have the courage
and manliness to choose Judge KEEL
ley, the leading Pennsylvania pro tee
zionist. and have done with it,

TIE representations of the Repub-
licau press having alarmed Mr.. Car
isles friends he has been interviewed,
and the result is any such anxiety is
allayed. Mr.. Carlisle does not regard
Mr.. Randalrs strength as being so
formidable as represented. He even
expresses doubt as to whether Mr..
Randall will go before the eau
Gus. AS Mr.. Carlisle is said to be
careful in his utterances, and never
sanguine respecting his personal in
terests, these opinions now have es-
pecial significance. The withdrawal
of Mr.. Blackburn from the race is
still further Indication of his posi-
BILE success. 1t is notable that Eastern
influences are for Mr.. Randall. They
persuade themselves that only an East
ern man, or one wholly under Eastern
influence, is capable of any high trust,
and it is getting about time they be
dissuaded of such belief by the selec-
ton of somebody from some other
quarter. We have been led by
Eastern Democrats until the identity
of Western and Southern Democrats
in Federal contests has about been
lost. 1t is time to take from
them this long time exercise of boss
rule and show that Democratic tim
Der, capable of forming staunch
government launch, grows elsewhere
than in the East and in those 'influen-
tial states that give most substantial
aid in securing Republican victories

THE supreme court of California
has given the following decision as to
what constitutes stockholders. "To
make person shareholder in cor
roration, where he has subscribed for
the stock, it is not necessary that he
should have received a certificate or
paid for the stock. A corporation
may give credit for its stock as well
us for any other property sold by it.
Certificates only constitute proof of
property. which may exist without
them. When the corporation has
agreed that person shall be entitled
toa certain number of shares in its
capital, to be paid for in manner
agreed upon, and that person has
agreed to take and pay for them accor-
slingly, he becomes their owner by a
valid contract made upon Il valuable
consideration"

A SPANISH editor thus accounts for

A SPANISH editor thus accounts for
the Indifference of the English gov
eminent to the approach of cholera.
1t is figured out as result of the
prevalence of the disease in the Brit
ish Isles, that its victims might be put
down as 100000 Irish paupers, 100000
habitual drunkards and other vicious
persons in the slums of London, 100,-
600 laborers of various kinds, 100
middle-class persons, real-estate ow-
ners gentlemen and the like" and
p rhaps one member of parliament.
The result of all this, it is computed,
would be to save England
$25,OOO,OOO for pauper support
in the next five years,
and $12, 100000 by the death of 100000
drunkards, while the absence of quar-
antine would be worth $5OO,OOO,OOO to
British commerce. Then the death
of 100000 Irish people would aid in
the pacification of Ireland, the death
of 100000 drunkards would facilitate
the improvement of the quarters they
now inhabit, and the death Of 100000
laborers would solve the question of
capital and labor so far as strikes are
concerned, while the well-to-do could
easily find shelter from the scourge.
The Hidalgo may not be very far
wrong in his calculations and conclu-
sions. But, if such be the job laid
aside for cholera, it would not be sur
prising if it should shrink from it.
Death. it is said. loves shining mark,
and it would not care, except in the
case of killing laborers, to be regarded
in the light of a public benefactor.

MOVING AGAINST LAND GRANTS.

Several congressman have engage d
in the work of looking after forfeited
land grants, and now Congressman
Payson, who has lately been in Cal
ifornia looking into the matter, is
gathering data at Washington, with
which he proposes to move against
certain railway companies, to deprive
them of unearned land grants.
Among these is the Texas s. Pacific,
which has been transferred to the
Southern Pscific railway COM
pany. The amount of land in
this grant is about 100000 acres.
The Texas s Pacific did not build
the road through the grant, and, there
fore, could not claim it. The South
ern Pacific did build road
through it, and received transfer of
all the right from the Texas Pacific
which that road had to it. There is
nothing to show, however, that the
Texas Pacific had anything to trans
fer. When the Southern Pacific was
being built that company declared that
they did not want land grant, but
that was when it was thought the
Texas & Pacific would build to the
Pacific ocean. When the Texas q
Pacific gave up that intention the
Southern Pacific managers concluded
they did want the land, and they me-

The Dublin police force and con-
stabulary are subject to some curious
requirements. Policemen when they
enter the service must be single men
and must abandon all thought of mar
rage until they have served five
years; while in the constabulary no
man may marry until seven years
have expired. To all intents and pur-
poses they must be wooden men, with
out domestic ties or enjoymentS, dur
ing this probationary period. In the
case of the constable, even after he is
permitted to take wife, she is abso-
lutely forbidden to add to the family
income by engaging in any trade or
bushes, on the ground that con-
stable should not have any relations
with the public which might inter
fere with the impartial discharge of
his duty. The rules regulating mar
riage are based on the necessity of
keeping a force with semi military
discipline as much at quarters as pos
sible, which, considering the spirit of
unrest which peryades all Ireland,
would appear to be a wholesome
measure

IN an editorial article in yesterdays
paper Messrs. Thurman and Bayard
were spoken of as proper Dem ocratic
nominees for the presidency. 1t was
intended to refer to the latter instead
of to the former, when it was said that
the Democrats of the North and the
South could be united in jealous sup
port of him. Every Southern state
could be carried for Mr.. Bayard, and
he would carry New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, and as many of the
Western states as any Democrat could
carry. People would be led by his
true Democracy. which has made him
statesman; by his purity of charac-
ter, which would insure correct gov
eminent; by his exalted relations to
society, which would secure for him
advisers and agents whom all would
trust.

HERE we have been saying the
Chinese and their civilization must
go, and after all this turns out that
we are borrowing freely from them.
1t is said that our beautiful system of
civil service reform is taken from the
Chinese, and that it is in operation in
China to-day. The Chinese method
requires three stages to be success
fully passed by the aspirant for high
est honors and any one may enter for
examination. One peculiar feature
of the Chinese plan. however, is that
fraud is said to be impossible. Mr..
Pendleton's grand conception is en-
dorsed by the Republicans and this
may be taken as evidence that the
honest features of the Oriental sys-
tenn have been carefully rejected in
ours.

A RUMOR comes from Des Moines
that Judge Kline, the Democratic can
didate for governor of Iowa, is to
withdraw in favor of Gen. Weaver,
the Greenback candidate, and that
there is to be thorough fusion of
Democrats and Greenbackers, which,
if successful. is to send Kline to the
senate as Allison's successor. The
New York Times dispatch says: eff
the bargain could be consumated it
would result in Viewers election, or
if the trade were made the other way
it would elect Kinne." Such are the
examples set by Democrats of the
Northern states. They are devoted to
trade, and would sell their birth-r1ght
for office. The South must make it's
moral power felt in the next presi-
Dental election.

TERSON
in a Patriotic
Address.

LOUISVILLE, September THE re-
ception at the Southern Exposition
to-day to the editorial excursionists
from Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,
Alabama and AIiSSippi, was one of the
most important events occurring In
Louisville. 1t included about 800
persons and mingling with the citl-
zens from the North and South was
productive of fervent feeling ira
ternally. The address of welcome was
delivered by Henry Watterson IN
absence of Mayor Jacobs. After
gracefully alluding to the duty as
signed him Mr.. WatterSon said: The
occasion which brings us together is
hardly more suggestive than delight
full; and may be described, without
disparagement; as both national and
sectional, for whilst the principal OBJ
ject of the exhibition was an lllustra-
ton of the products and progress OF
the South, the invitation which went
forth was addressed to all the people
of the Union. 1t has met everywhere
the response which you have given in
the East and in the West, in the far
North, and wherever we have gone in
request, recognition and sympathy the
right hand of American manhood
has been stretched out to us. There
is in this deep and touching signili-
canoe. 1t tells us that the genius of
worth has put the foot upon the ge-
MUS of war. 1t means that under
meath our political fabric there is a
popular character strong enough and
pure enough to rise above ali sections
and from all parties, giving the world
assurance of the homogenity OF the
people and the perpetuity OF the ma
tional life. | am sure there Is no one
of you, whatever his party belonging,
and whence the source he may have
come, his heart does not thrall with
the presence of this spectacle. 1t
is the hostage which the South offers
the North. 1t is the treaty of last
ing peace, not writ in subterfuge by
the crafty hand of diplomacy, but
| forced by the memorable law of neceS-
sity and convenience, and by the duty
of the brain and heart and blood, and
it may be the Office of the God-fearing
home-loving people Of the South. The
speech was received with frequent ap,
plause and hearty commentator. w
p. Jones, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean
responded. His remarks were IL
finest accord with the sentiment just
expressed. After three hours at the
table, the party scattered throughout
the building. under the chaperonagt
of the exposition directors and news

THE Chicago News has recently
published letters from prominent men
in different parts of the country con-
corning the popularity Of the Arthur
administration. There is wide differ
ence of opinion on the subject, as will
be seen from the letters of Gen. Ma
hone and Gen. Early, of Virginia.
Malone says: "His administration
challenges the respect and confidence
of the nation. 1t has been conserva-
tive and singularly unsectional.' Ear
ly regards Arthur as peculiarly re-
sponsible for the sins charged to the
party and the federal adj
by the late Democratic
state convention in Virginia.

Washington c. Kerr, state geolo-
gist Of North Carolina, says the whole
state is notably adapted to the Gull
ture of grapes and the manufacture of
wine. The proof of this is, first, that
considerable number of the best
American grapes originated within
its territory, such as the Catawba,
Lincoln, Isabella, Scuppernong, etc.;
second, the testimony of the best OBJ
servers and growers of the Ohio Val
ley, and of the whole country, and
third and chiefly, the success Of the
few intelligent experiments that have
been made. And this opinion is con-
firmed by the considerations of eli
mate, which are demonstrably known
to control this industry. In the re-
marks on climate it was shown that
the larger portion of this state CORES
ponds in this important respect, to
middle and northern Italy, and to
middle and southern France.
