Water.

An opportunity is about to be offered to the
citizens of Westminster by Col Taylor, rep
resenting Il New York firm, to furnish West
minister with Il water supply by reservoir
The town will be canvassed, and if enough
subscribers can be obtained there will be at
no distant day a full supply of water. 1t Is
said it will not require more than about three
hundred subscribers, III connection with a
provision already made to collect IL tax OF five
cents on the hundred dollars, to be paid to
any company that will furnish Il full supply for
public benefit, town use, suppression OF hre,
street sprinlling &c. The opportunity should
not be turned down. This plan, Of all others,
would seem to be the most desirable, as there
will be no debt contracted by the town.
Parties wishing to take stock can do so vol
UNFAIRLY All we have to do is to subscribe
for what we want, and if furnished pay for it.
Many persons will be called upon to subscribe
who have not vet taken much thought about
tile matter. and will likely use the argument
that they are well supplied with wells and els
terms, and do not feel justified i'll paying an
additional sum for water forgetting the eN
pense incurred yearly in keeping pumps,
wells, &C., in order, and with them no pro-
lection whatever for large conHagrations.
Our recent misfortune to life and property is
to us Il sad warning to prepare for the future,
that we may not be found, if ever attack
ed similarly, without protection. 1t can
readily be seen that half, or perhaps the
greater portion of our town, with the wind
favorable to the flames, could be consumed.
Our town was in a prosperous condition, and
will be so again with its railroad advantages,
close proximity to the city of Baltimore and
noted location. If we offer Il protection
from fire, and our streets in more pleasant
condition in dry weather, it would be an in
ducement for people to locate here, enlarge
our town and add to its enterprise. a town
with population of nearly 5000, some 800
families, and assessed at nearly s., 600, 900,
should not be left as unprotected as we have
been heretofore. The average cost, under
stand, will not be more than from s. to Sc to
each subscriber annually, for private use. y
table Of rates will be shown when the sub
scription is taken; let us then be wide awake,
take hold, and make the best effort we can to
improve and protect our town. CITIZEN.

A great engineering work is in contempla-
ton at Bremen to make that city in fact what
it has heretofore been only in name-a sea,
port. To do this it will be needful to deepen,
widen and straighten the river Weser for a
distance of fifty miles, so that going vessels
drawing q feet of water, with 600 feet of keel,
can go through, and pass each other with ease.
1t is estimated that the work can be completed
within six years. Bremen is only second
and very close second at that-to Liverpool
in American trade, and is second in rank of
continental ports.

THE Democratic Congressional caucus
in Washington, on Saturday night, nom
iuated for Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatlves, John G. Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, on the first ballot, the vote stand
ing, Carlisle 1O4, Randall, of Pennsylva-
mia, 81. and Cox, of New York, 81. The
Ohio delegation gave Carlisle 2, Cox 5,
and Randall 8. On Monday, the will of
the caucus was registered in the House,
and its nominee proclaimed Speaker of
the House of Representatives of the 4Sth
Congress. While the candidacy of Mr..
Carlisle has been discussed for some
time, his election to the position is
somewhat of surprise to the serious
minded business men of the country,
who have looked upon Mr.. Randall as
Democrats of the House, whose election
would discourage tampering with the
finances and tariff legislation TO the in
jury of the commercial and manufactu-
ring interests of the country. :
The body which made Mr.. Carlisle the
nominee of his party for Speaker, was
largely Il caucus of Southern Democrats
and free-traders. Northern Democrats
almost unanimously opposed him, back :
ed by protectionists and the business
interests of the great manufacturing
centers. Under all the circumstances
there is deep significance attaches to
the election of Mr.. Carlisle. A few
days before the caucus an address was
circulated among Democratic Congress-
men, appealing to them to support Mr..
Randall, and among other things stating
that his election would he notice to the
country that mo important action upon
the tariff would be taken during the
session. But the appeal had no effect
upon the Southern members, who held
the power and intended to use it, even
though it uncovered the Democratic par
ty, and disclosed it in its true light, as
the enemy of the Republican policy for
protection of the business and material
interests of the country.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1883-12-06

An analysis of the caucus vote by
which Carlisle received the nomination
for the speakership of the House of
the House of Representatives gives a
valuable indication of the attitude of
the Democratic party upon the great
questions of revenue and protection, on
which the business interests of the
country depend. The vote for Carlisle
was more than twice as great as that
for Randall. The vote for Cox-uneX
pectedly large may also be counted as
against the protective policy which Ran
dali represents. The Democracy of the
House may, therefore, be considered
about three to one in favor of free trade
or tariff-for-revenue-onl The only
states which gave majorities for Ran,
dali were Connecticut, Maryland, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vir.
ginia. All of these are manufacturing
states. On the other hand, Arkansas
Delaware. Florida, Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,. Nevada, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas. West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin were unanimous, or nearly SO, for
Carlisle free trader. In all of these,
except Illinois, Indiana, Delaware and
Massachusetts,, manufactures are of sec
ondary Importance, agriculture being
the chief interest. Indeed, this is true
q Ind for fl.ntN
these states have large manufacturing
interests, their producing interests in
grain, pork, whisky, &c, are of greater
magnitude. In all of these states, how
ever, the Republicans lean toward pro-
lection. There are Free Trade Repub-
licans TO be found here and there in all
tile states; but the mass of the party
favors projection, just as the mass OF
the Democrats favor free trade or tariff
for-revenue-only. The Democrats elect
ed from certain districts of Republican
states are for Carlisle-as in Massachu-
setts and Michigan. In New York the
Democrats were for Cox, who is also ii
low tariff man.
These facts are suggestive. They in
dicate that the Democratic party must
either become free trade or low tariff
party or else disintegrate and fall to
pieces. 1t viii. be natural in the course
of party contests during the coming ses-
sion fer the free trade proclivitiss of
the Democrats TO become more pro-
nounced, aggressive and dominant, and
by the force of opposition for the Re-
pHblicans to become more conservative
and steadfast in favor of perfection

Asserting Itself.

The Southern Representatives in the
Democratic caucus asserted themselves.
The States south of Mason and Dixons
line had 90 votes, and of these u were
cast for Carlisle, Randall received 2l'
and Cox not one. There were 1S7 votes
cast. A majority was "a. Carlisle re-
ceived iO4, being 10 more than necessary
to choice; and of these the South cast
y. Tremendous efforts were made in
Georgia, Louisiana and Texas for Ran
dali, but the three States gave him only
three votes. This is the more significant
from the fact that the States are against
free trade, but sectional feeling proved
more effective than business interests.
The South has tirrd of being mere hew
ers of wood and drawers of water for
the Democratic party. 1t wants some
thing in return, and'it got it this time.
The South has large majority Oh the
Democratic side of the House, and
Northern Democrats are now notified to
take the back seats they occupied in
ante-war times Gin. Com. Gaz.

JOHN G. CARLISLE, nominated by the
Democratic Congressman for Speaker. is
forty-eight years of age. His competitor,
Randall is Eifty-ive.
A Washington correspondent recently
said of him:
"Mr. Carlisle, during his comparative
ly short residence in Washington, has
always lived in one suite of rooms at
the Riggs House. The rooms are on the
east side of the house, and command d
fine view of the Capitol and of the Ma
ryland hills. They are decorated with
home pictures, and are filled with such
reminders of home life as it is possible
to put in hotel rooms. Mr.. Carlisle is
very domestic. and Mrs. Carlisle, a wO-
man of very stately presence and great
dignity, has remarkable influence
over him: Mr.. Carlisle lives very SIM
ply, does not entertain, and keeps no
carriage He is a man of moderate for
tune only, all of which has been acquired
in the practice of law He has all the
practice he can attend to, and is in the
front rank of the Kentucky Bar. He
commenced life on Il farm near Coving-
ton, and acquired his early education by
studying at night after hard days
work At seventeen years of age he was
country school teacher, when he met
the lady who became his wife"
Another correspondent says.
During his career in Congress he has
been one of the hardest workers in the
House of Representatives. 1t is very
seldom that he IS away from the desk
that has stood in the same corner of his
sitting-room for now six years. His
pleasures are very few, and his life has
been exceedingly laboriOus, and almost
entirely devoted to public and profes
siunal work Notwithstanding that he
has been in public position almost con-
tinuously since he was twenty-three
years old, he is one of the leaders of the
Kentucky Bar Although he is stu
dent, and pale faced and stOOp-shoul-
dered, he never gives any indication by
displays of temper of the presence of
dyspepsia He works too hard some
times. but he is always cheerful, even
tempered, and in to any one who has
business with him.
HE is thoroughly equipped public
man, and singularly clear speaker. He
is one of the men whose statement
argues his side of the case. He came first
into great prominence in the House of
Representatives in the winter of 1869.
when the political legislation fOrbidding
the use of troops at the polls was under
consideration"

In an interview with Ex-Governor
Underwood, of the News Journal, Car
Isle said: He interpreted his election
to mean that from this time forth the
Democratic party would go to the people
with an aggressive and definite policy
and adhere to it because it was right
and deserved to win. He said the COM
mittees are to be organized with view
solely to the fitness of members for the
various subjects of legislation.
