ANEST the fact that county officers
send away and get their blanks and
blank books printed, the LIGHT has it
from blank book manufacturer of San
Antonio that he will duplicate in every
way possible and make better book
for Sli than the class the county paid
SIS for. Some county officers ought to
have more pride Of locality and home en-
tcrprise than they show in buying their
supplies. 1t has always been an open
question whether any county ever
got the worth OF the money when 1t
went outside the State to buy supplies
that could just as well be obtained at
the county seat. A public officer who
will not help sustaln.home enterprise, and
the men who voted for him, should be
severely left In retirement.

SIN CONFIRMATION of the idea that the
unexpected is the thing most likely to
occur observes the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, mo reference is Just now SO
pertinent MS to the sudden and violent
outbreak Of wrath in Spain against Ger
many. Although no country could be
in worse apparent condition than is
Spain just now, with trade PROSTATE, all
the industries ofthe nation stagnant and
the land devastated by visitation Of
pestilence unexampled In its severity, it
might seem both easy and safe to bully
the Spanish government, But the old
Spanish spirit is still alive, very much
so, in fact, and blazes up in fury at any
effort to impair the integrity of the
Spanish State. In defense of her col
onies, though they are now but a hand
full In comparison with the mighty en-
pire once owned by the Spanish crown,
Spain Is ready to go to war with any
body and at any time. Although the
Spanish claim to the Caroline Islands
appears to be merely nominal thing,
the exhibition of Spanish courage In
proposing to defend them against any
one cannot fall to be admired wherever
the name Of Spain is known"

ALL the furore about building monu-
ments to the memory o: General Grant,
seems to have suddenly subsidized. In
New York the accumulation Of funds is
very slow, and at Chicago the PROPOSE
ton is not doomed by popular subscrip-
tons as was expected from that bustling
metropolis. But possibly the matter
may get into the proper shape where
one or two really magnificent structures
will be put up, instead Of a number of
Insignificant affairs.

SOME people are hard to please. The
cry of kidnapping is started against the
officers who secured Aufdemorte and
Shephard's arrest. Had they not taken
snap judgment and brought away their
men, the same persons would be cursing
the Mexioans for harboring American
criminals. But the charge Of kidnapping
is groundless, as the Mexican officials in
person delivered Aufdemorte to the
Americans on this side of the river, and
Sheppard came over of his own accord.
How can man kidnap from himselfY
The howl was started by the parties
who are attempting to secure the re-
ward that they did not earn.

we have spoken of. The road would open up
and develop an entirely new country midway
between the Chesapeake and Ohio and Balti-
more and Ohio railroads, country where the
road would never be troubled with ice or snow:
light, easy grades, where quick time could be
made.
An immense and constantly increasing
freight, not only to be developed along its line
but from the States of Ohio Indiana and Illinois
would make this an enterprise of prominence
and Importance second to none on the CONT
nent. There seems to be an idea that the
mountains of West Virginia are Uncomfortable
by railroads unless at such frighttul cost as to
appal capitalists. OF the line [ mention
TINS cannot De SAID, and, on the other hand it
presents so few obstacles that only fear those
to whom speak on the subject can hardly
credit my account. In addition to the ease with
which the road could be built. would almost
be willing to insure that the right of way could
be obtained gratuitously through the counties
of Allegheny, Bath and Pocahontas upon the
promise by the company that the grant of the
right or way would be forfeited in the event
the road was not built within five years. These
vast undeyeloped coal coal-felds, beginning at
the head Of Elk river, can be bought from 81 to
s2.5oper acre, covered as they are with the
finest timber in addition, and if anything could
be more inviting to capital than this we cannot
conceive it.
what better days work could the people of
Richmond do than to aid this Richmond and
Alleghany road to reach these vast fields of
coal, TIMBER, etc.? Where IS there city in all
the land with such wealth lying almost at its
door That has not reached out its hand and
taken hold of it? What calamity could be
greater than to leave this road with its termi
nus at Clifton Forge? l know nothing of
what may have been the destination of that
road, where its owners seek to push it, or
whether they desire to do anything at all but
nave written you these statements from per-
sonal knowledge of the ground over which NV
mental railroad is built, and with personal
knowledge of the vast wealth that must await
those who embark in such an undertaking
There may be more in some other direction

and the enterprising people of Richmond should

four miles is covered in many localities to
depth of 40 feet with solid ice. During
the high winds the spray from the numer.

this freezing caused the formation of hills
of ice, which could only be removed by
blasting.

At first there was plenty of whiskey and

But on, straight on. and the Isles are in sight,
The Fortunate Isles where the yellow birds
sing
And life lies grit with golden ring. .sgJ

They lie within reach of the lowliest door;
You can see them CLEAN by the twilight star;
You can hear them sing by the moons white
shore.
