CONGRESS will be called upon to
act we think at the present session
upon the proposition to erect fitting
building for the immense accumula-
ton of books that now constitutes
the national library, and that are to a
large extent stored away to mouldeE
in old alcoves and caverns all over
the Capital building.
Such collection as this is almost
priceless, and includes manuscripts
dear to the heart of every American
and irreplacable if lost. Gen. o. R,
Singleton of our State is chairman Of
the House Committee on the Library,
and if he shall be instrumental in
securing the erection of the proposed
new building, it will be an act that
will grandly signalize his public car
reer, and make his memory precious
to generations of scholars and stud
ents yet unborn.

EDITORIAL MATTER.

The Defeat Of"CerrO GOrnO will
iiams,''

The failure of Gen. "Cerro Gordo"
Williams to secure reelection to the
U. S. Senate from Kentucky had been
foreshadowed in the caucus contest
for some days before the nomination.
The gallant old chieftain was assured
of more than votes enough to nomi-
nate him, months ago, but number
of men who were pledged to his sup
port were won from their allegiance
by the introduction of third candi-
date, and the breach widened as the
contest was prolonged until some of
these men became his active oppo-
nents and even open enemies. His
loss to the farming interests Of the
South and West will be keenly felt,
for he was more essentially the rep
resentative of the farming interests
than any other man in Congress.
Joe Blackburn who will succeed
him is man of talent and brilliant
parts, but the Mexican Veterans and
the farmers have lost faithful friend
and champion in the defeat of Gen.
Williams.

In the debate upon the bill for the
appropriation of funds to complete
the terraces around the Capitol, ,Sena-
tors Ingalls,, Morrill,, and Voorhees,
took occasion to harshly criticise the
motley group of statuary at the West
entrance of the grounds known as
the sailors monument, and there
seemed to be general concurrence
in the opinion that it was out of place
and should be removed to the SOL
diers' homo or some cemetery.
AS work of art it is hardly tenth
class, and is no more suggestive 81
marine death or disaster than it is OF
the discovery of America Or the sui
eide of Pontious Plate.

The decrease in hogs is easily ac>
counted for, as hundreds were killed
in 1883 prior to the 3lst of Decem-
ber, whereas in 1880 the census was
taken in Juno. We have no doubt
but that there were over forty thou.
sand hogs in the county in June
1883, as it was notorious to all who
visited the country last summer that
'the woods wero full of them;"
and the expression was common that
"there are more hogs in the county
than were ever seen in it before" at
least since the war.
We have no means OF verifying
Mr.. Browns estimates, but our read
ers all know him to be one of the
most careful, cautious and painstak-
ing farmers in the State, and man
not likely to be careless IN such mats
ters as these.
We regret however that in making
his estimates of the value OF the live
stock he reported to the Department
of Agriculture, he was not guided BY
his own excellent Judgment instead
Of the figures given in to the asses
sors: For instance the COWS are res
ported at an average OF So; hardly
cid time butchers prices. Three year
old horses at $50; one year old calves
at 81. SO; three year old steers, IS;
one year old hogs, S3, and so on.
Mr Brown also estimates the loss
of sheep during the year from the
depreciation of dogs, al five per cent.
This is 0 much higher percentage
than we doomed possible, and il Mr..
| Brown is not mistaken IN his lgures
they present very strong argument
ia favor Of the only dog law tha,
can prove eifectu0l, that is q tax Of
at least a dollar a head, per year, on
every dog in excess OF one tc house,
that is kept
If,as Mr. Browns figures indicate,
the docks OF old Monroe have more
than doubled 10 the last three years,
it is patent that sheep growing is
rapidly becoming leading industry
with our farmers, and it will not do
to thwart Or balk such grand pros
grossive movement for the sake Of
protecting herd Of miserable ours
that are only useful in the further
ance OF the 'possum and coon catch.

THE Washington Post Dem.)
warns the Democrats of the country
that unless they repudiated the policy
of the Ohio Democrats and the views
of Senator-elect Payne the party will
neither gain nor deserve success next
year Vicksbyrg Post
Yes, but who pays any attention to
what the Washington Post says?
Payne is as true to the Democratic
party as the needle to the pole, and
a man who has no faith in the kid
glove policy that seems to be in high
favor with certain school of politi-
clans. The efforts to blacken his
name and reputation by connecting
him with the Standard Oil Company
and other great monopolies have sig
nally failed, and no man has yet been
able to point out in his long public
and private record single disrepu-
table act. That he was elected to
the Senate over Pendleton is only
another of many proofs that have
been given of his wonderfel populari-
ty in Ohio, and a man who can main
tain the love and support of the peo-
pie of a great State for forty years
mus possess many noble and love-
able traits.
The endorsement of one such man
as Dan Voorhees,, will balance the
denunciations of a thousand such
sheets as the Washington Post.
