THE STAUNToN AND PARKERsBURG
TURNPIKE.-The Highland Recorder calls
attention to the fact that that portion of
the Stauntoa and Parkersburg Turnpike
on the East SIDE of Shenandoah Mountain
in Augusta county is in a worse condition
than that on~the West side in Highland
county The Recorder concludes its article
as follows:
1--WE have no desire to dictate to our sis
ter county or to have q hand in the man.
agement of her affairs; but when we con-
slider the amount contributed by the people
of this county to the support of tins road,
and the additional fact that this highway
lS Nf orr tori n 10 no,
to the people of Augusta, it would appear
to be more in keeping with the fitness of
things for Highland to have entire control
and management of this road through to
Staunton.
owever, all we ask is that III return for
the trade she receives from this county,
Augusta shall give our people good road
to reach her market"
The report having been circulated that
Gen. Fitz Lee had paid his taxes in coupons,
Mr.. r. t. Mcleod wrote to him informing
him Of the report, and received the follow
ing answer:
FAIRFAX COUNTY, May 16, 1885.
My Dear Sir,-Your kind letter has been
duly received. In reply to your inquiry
permit me to state that L have never paid
my taxes in coupons.
Sincerely yours, FITZ LEE.

TRUE REPUBLICANS AND Malone
The Washington correspondent of the AL
exandria Gazette, under date of May 30th.
says
Sol. Robert Boiling, of Petersburg, an
old-time Virginia Republican, who is in
the city oday, says that he and twenty
thousand other good and true Republicans
of his State are grossly insulted by the pre-
vailing impression that they believe in Ma
homes reputation schemes and accept him
as their leader, and that they will make
that fact patent at the next election"
J. A. Hortzell, Esq, Hickory, N. c., says
he used the fertilizer made of Powell's Pre-
pared Chemicals for tobacco, 200 lbs. to the
acre, side by side with fertilizer costing
$50 per ton, same quantity of each, and
considers the PowelPs Chemicals as good,
if not better, than the other. The chemi-
Gals only cost So per bbl., sufficient guam
tity to make one-half ton of complete fer

Prohibition is making rapid hea

Prohibition is making rapid Roadway in
Georgia. In about 100 Of the 1873 counties
in the State prohibition is absolute, and in
some others it prevails in certain districts.
Only % counties in the State are untouched
by the temperance wave. The Atlanta
Constitution says: "No whisky is sold in a
prohibition county in Georgia, because the
uncertainty Of the situation creates and
it operative and effective"

A petty scandal having been set ahoat

GEORGE EUBANK DRowNED.-We learn
from the Lexington Gazette that, on Tues
Gay of last week, George Eubank, fore
man of Lockers Cement Works, near Bal
cony Falls, was drowned while crossing
James river at that point in a boat. The
ferry rope broke when the boat was in the
middle Of the stream, throwing Eubank in
to the water. The rope became entangled
about his feet, and, although an expert
swimmer, he was drowned. He leaves a

How HIGH LICENSE WoRKs.-The
Pennsylvania Legislature has before it a
high-license bill, and one of it's members
writes to the Tribune for information as to
operations of such law. So far as we
know the high-license system has worked
well wherever given an honest trial. In
Illinois statistics prove it to havs had an
admirable effect. The minimum license for
dram-shops in that State is $500 and for
the sale of malt liquors $3.50 In Cook
county, where Mayor Carter Harrison has
done his best to defeat the act, the number
of liquor shops has nevertheless diminish
ed 500 to 1000, and there has been an in
crease of over 100000 in city revenue.
In 10 other cities in that State before the
law went into effect there were 1888 liquor
shops, yielding public revenue of $780,
$50. Under the high-license law the num-
Der Of such places decreased to 4G3, but
yielded a public revenue of $3.50, 600. Ar
rests fell off, and there was 80 per cent.
less of Drunkenness. In Cairo arrests de-
creased 80 per cent, and in Springfield Is
per cent, and other places made an equally
good showing. Is not that conclusive evil
dence Of the beneficial effect Of such a law?

MILLIONS OF GRAssHoPPERs.-Mil
Of young grasshoppers are reported coming

Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1885-08-03

The Chicago Inter Ocean Washing
ton correspondent says there is some
thing more than wind in the proposition
to consolidate the surveyor general dis
tricts of Dakota and Minnesota. Land
Commissioner Sparks expresses himself
strongly in favor of the consolidation,
but cannot tell when it will occur, if at
all. The question was put to Commits
sioner Sparks:
Is the work in the two districts
enough alike to be assimilated? The
Minnesota surveyor general deals with
swamp and timber land. the Dakota sur
veyor general deals with prairie.
MIR. Sparks replied:
Yes, there is an objection, but don't
see why the little there is to be done in
Minnesota could not be done by the sur.
veyor general in Dakota. That would
be the way l would want to see the con-
solidation made. Our present surveyor
general of Dakota is doing excellent
work. should want to see him put in
charge of the two states.
If the consolidation occurs it will be
arranged through executive order. The
intention appears to be to abolish the
Minnesota Office and do all the work
through the Dakota Office. There is a
political motive in the movement.
Democratic bosses in Minnesota recon-
mend it as the only way to prevent Ig.
natius Donnelly from becoming sur
veyor general of Minnesota. By abol-
lshing the Office they will score vic.
tory over the author of Ragnarok.
