RAILROAD FROM CINCINNATI
SOUTHERN To SPARTA.

A few weeks ago we saw stated in
the Expositor, that a citizen of that
place had received proposition from
capitalist to build railroad from the
Cincinnati Southern direct to Sparta.
We agree with the Expositor that such
road would benefit White county very
much. Not only White, but every
county on the line and adjacent. Not
only White and the counties above,
but Warren and all other counties
along the line from Tullahoma to
Sparta.
Such connection would not only be
of great benefit to the farmers and
stock raisers, but would benefit all
classes. 1t would give us an outlet
and competing line north, south,
east and west. 1t would be the means
of developing the vast coal fields and
forests above Sparta and along the line
of the proposed road. Competition is
what we want. Give us more rail-
roads. They will not only develop
the vast resources of the State, but
will do more than anything else to
bring about quick and cheap transpor.

Flowing by Steam,

of the Ohio River was yesterday test
ed upon the farm of N. w. Morton,
near Belleview, twelve miles from the
city on the Northwestern Railroad.
The trial was witnessed by quite
large number of farmers, anxious to
see the practicability of steam plow>
ing fully tested. The trial was super
vised by Mr.. j. F. Forbes, agent of
the Geter Manufacturing Company, of
Waynesboro, Pa, the manufacturers

Engine" used in the test.
The ground upon which the test was
made was by no means level, and was
hard and dry. In fact the ground was
so hard and dry that no one else had
been breaking ground in the neighbor-
hood for some time. The engine used

self fully equal to the task. A plat of
ground, a quarter of mile long by
fourteen feet wide, or about half an
acre, was broken up in thirty minutes
with greatest ease. Mr.. Morton said
that it was broken deeper than ever
before. He, and every one present,
pronounced the trial grand success,
and has purchased the pillow from G.
B. Wheelock q Co., who are the agents
for this section. No one who saw the
trial yesterday any longer doubts the
practicability and ACCESSIBILITY of plow-
ing by steam.
The construction of these engines
shows the greatest ingenuity upon the
part of the inventors and manufac~
turers. The whole weight rests upon
durable and complete springs, and its
gearings, without bevels, avoiding out

friction, The strain>bearing axles and

One of the chief recommendations of
this powerful engine is the small cost
of its operation. 1t requires but a
small amount of fuel and water, and two
men will operate the engine and pillow
successfully and pillow fully as much
ground as seven teams, thus efecting Il
great saving Of labor for man and
beast, and money for the farmer, turns
ing the burrows over much more even
ly than those plowed by hand.
This engine and plows have been
fully tested at other places, and have
given full satisfaction at every place.
At the Southern Exposition at Louis
vile, in 1883, this engine received a
medal for excellence. At Cincinnati,
in 1881, it received a prize of $500 in
gold. At the Atlanta Exposition the
engine developed 6,94 horsepower on
a trial trip of one-half mile, travelled
in six minutes and thirty seconds, pull
ing eleven tons and doing It's work

The result of the test yesterday will
be read with the greatest interest by
the farmers of this section, who will be
glad to hear that the question of steam
blowing has been thus fully and salts,
factorily settled.

What are the issues upon which these
West Virginia Democrats would go into
the presidential contesti We let them
speak for themselves:
Resolved, That the paramount issues IN.
voiyed In the approaching presidentlal
election arc reform IN the administration
az the General Government and eonstitu-
tional interpositon against the tendency
toward Capitalization, and that on The part
OF the Democratic party oil other ques-
lions should be subordiuated to these two
issues.
Resolved, That the people OF the United
States owe It 10 themselves and 10 then
posteiity 20 wipe out the disgrace OF the
electoral fraud OF 1876. and 10 this end The
National Democratic party should renomi-
nate the =. old ticket" of Tildon and Hen
bricks.
We do not recommend TILpES or any
other man Just at this time. The action OF
the Democrats IN Congress may any day
change the present aspect Of affairs. But
we can repeat what VIC have said before,
that AL the clamor for Mr.. TLDEs grows
out Of fear Of the harm that may be done
the Democratic party by the passage oil the

RuusInIi'a Triumph.

The result Of the Democratic State Con-
yention is significant solely because OF the
strong light 1t sheds upon Mr.. Samuel j.
Rsndalps transcendent skill as a political
leader. II has defined Mr.. RandalPs
leadership more clearly and more speclf-
cslly than it has ever been shown before.
1t has proclaimed him the foremost ex-
ponent Of his party's faith and given him
vote Of confidence which, while 1t may
fall short OF the object 1t aims at, cannot
fail to make him factor Of almost dictato-
rial power in the councils which are to
mould and direct the Democratic policy
in the contest for the presidency.
The means by which this brilliant victory
was achieved were sagacious in the eX-
treme.-- Philadelphia Press (Repubiican).

The New Platform.

Last wear the Democrats OF Virginia,
Ohio, Pennsylvanis, and New Jersey
adopted one and the same resolution as ex-
pressing their creed on the subject OF the
tariff. On Wednesday last the Democrats
OF Pennsylvania added new clause to the
resolution OF last year, and made it read as
follows:
4. We favor tariff for revenue limited
70 the necessities OF the Government eco
nomically administered, and so adjusted in
its application as to prevent unequal bur-
dens. encourage productive industries al
home. and afford Just compensation 10
labor. but not TO create or foster monOpo-
lies. and 10 this end we favor the abolition
of the internal.Tevenue system OF taxes,
and such adjustment OF the existing tarin
duties ~ will be consistent with these prin-
cfpleg.
The Democrats OF Pennsylvania thus
align themselves with the Democrats OF
Virginia. Whilst there is no sort OF pro-
liability that the present Congress will
abolish all internal taxes, there is some
satisfaction in knowing that there are
Democrats In the northern States who un-
derstand why Virginians would abolish the
whole internal-rtvenue system. Those
northern Democrats raay not be annoyed,
yexed, and worried as we are by multi
tude Of spies. iniormers, and official cleo
tioneerers for the Republican party, but
they can nevertheless see across MASON q
DixoIs line. and can sympaihize will
tkeir brethren here.
why shouldn't that Pennsylvania roso
luton be adopted by the Democratic Ma
tiopal Convention as formulating the Greco
OF the Democratic party on the subject o
Federal taxation?
