Why the south is Solid.

Baltimore sun.
Having short memories, some people
in high iatitudes are always wondering
why the southern states are not republl-
can in sentiment--in other words, why
the south is 'ssoIid." The Boston Herald
is one of these curious parties, and has
addressed letters to the governors OF
southern states asking how the white vo-
ters of the south can be divided into two
parties, and what is the great objection
to break Sin the solid south. The res
ponse of Gov Knott, of Kentucky, gives
the Boston man the most useful inform
alton. He reminds him that the voters
of the south can be divided into two par
ties, distinct in interests and opinions. as
in the north. The ma ajority of them con-
scientiously believe that democratic doc
trine is more consistent with the consti-
tuition than republican doctrine, and so
they vote the democratic ticket. The
minority. for one reason or another, vote
the republican ticket. TO break up the
solid south it is therefore necessary to
convince considerable part of the
southern people that by cooperation
with the persons who now constitute the
minority party in their midst they will
secure better government at home, and
at Washington will strengthen a party
that has no disposition to hunliliate or
prescribe an important portion of the
southern people. Experience counts for
a good deal. The south is not going to
divide merely for the sake of dividing.
Devotion to local interests made it will
ingly forego the advantages of an alii-
ance with the party in control at Wash
ington prior to 1885, and now that that
party has lost control and has no advan-
tages to offer its recruits, there Is less
reason than ever why the south should
go over to it. Gov. Perry, of Florida,
tersely states the greatest existing obJec-
ZION to a break in the solid south to be
IAN objection TO resurrection of that
theory of government under which the
surest passport to federal office in the
south was the bitterest hostility 10 her
people,

Hopkinsville and cadiz R. R.

The Legislature of Kentucky, at its
last session by act approved April 8,
1884, incorporated the Iopkinsvillc
n Cadiz Railroad Company, and APP
pointed Commissioners to effect an
organization of the company. The
Commissioners are: e. p. Campbell,

Trice, II. G. Alternately, Thomas c.
Dabney, n. II. Grinter, Geo. w.

meeting of these Commissioners will
be held on Thursday next, at 7

l. Landes in this place TO take the
preliminary steps to effect the organ

meeting of the Commissioners, and
that this important enterprise will be
set on foot at once. Hopkinsville and
this county will vie with Cadiz and
Trigg county to secure connection
which will be of such great advan-
tage TO both counties and towns,

The Land of the Afternoon.
,ld man sits in bis garden chair,

An old man sits in bis garden chair,
Watching tn sunlit western sky.
What sees he in the blue depth there,
Where only the Isles Of Memory lie?
There are prncely towers and castles high,
There are gardens fairer than human ken,
There are happy children throngng by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices of sweet attune
The songs Of the Land Of the Afternoon.
The old man watches form of cloud
That floats where the azure Islands are,
And he sees homestead gray and loved,
And hand that beckons him afar.
O, cheek of roses and hair of gold.
Q. eyes of heavens divinest blue!
Long have We lain in the graveyard mould
But love is infinite, love is true;
He will find her-yes, it must be soon;
They will meet in the Land of the Afternoon
The sky has changed, and wreck of cloud
Is driving athwart its troubled face,
The golden mist Is trailing shroud;
1t is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The old man smiles and droops his head,
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled brow
The sunset radiance has appeared
O'er every wasted feature now;
One sigh eXhales like breath In June
He has found the Land of the Afternoon.

industry is reducing the cost of materials. and
the use of machinery is reducing the expendi-
ture for labor upon vessels. The competition
In rival yards is lessening the margin of profit
for which their proprietors are willing to build
and the tendency is all in the direction of favor
ing the substitution of iron and steel tonnage in
place of wooden.
A chapter on canal boats and another
on the extent and geographical distribu-
tion of ship timber in this country com
plete the report. From the latter it ap-
pears that the supply has seriously di-
minished especially of oak, near enough
to the coasts to be available, but that the

FISH AND FISHING. The Maine Fish Com
missioners are on the point of distributing the
salmon eggs to the Matching houses. Matching
houses are now in operation at Moosehead. En-
1ield (on the Penobscot). Rangely Lakes, Weld
and Dennysville. The New Hampshire fish
commissioners are also to receive a lot of sal
mon eggs from the Maine commissioners to be
hatched at the head waters of the Saco. About
a million salmon eggs will be distributed.
About 100000 will come from BuckspOrt and
1000 from Grand Lake Stream. Those from
Bucksport are sea salmon and those from
Grand Lake Stream are land locked. Fish Com
missioner Stanley says that land locked salmon
have been caught in quite large numbers at
Weld, through all this winter. They come up
into the streams last fall to spawn. The first
land locked salmon were put in there eight
years ago. Some weighing ten or twelve
pounds have been caught.
