III. PHELPS, ESQ the Democratic
nominee for Prosecuting Attorney,
was visitingin town last Saturday.
MIR. Phelps having formerly been
resident in our village, he has many
warm friends among both parties. His
reputation as an honorable attorney,
always treating the opposing counsel
in suit fairly and considerably. is
we'll established; and while we differ
from him politically, it is true that
should he be so unfortunate, or fOrtu
nate, as to be elected, the legal busi-
ness of the county will not suffer while
in his hands.-[Garrettsville Item,

We are informed there is cOnsidera.
ble opposition in some parts of the
county to the new Jail project. No
one pretends to deny the fact that the
old building is totally unfit for a
Jail, and the only reason we have
heard for voting against new one is
the expense. Portage County is en-
tirely flee of debt, and with tax du-
plicate showing over seventeen mill
lions of dollars of valuation, it would
seem that we might afford a Jail which
would not be disgrace to the county.
A levy, of a little over eight-tenths Of
a mill will raise the ,0O0 required
in two years. This will be so small
an amount that very few would know
when it was paid. Give the matter
careful thought before election day,
and vote OH the proposition, one way
or the other, as it is desired that full
expression may be had.

The court is to lend its great social help to the
tories in the new parliament by pageant of
royalty to-day. Unless the clerk of the weather
kinder In London than here the proverbial
"Queen's weather" will fail her for once. The
sovereign is TO visit parliament and address 1t,
attended by all the spiendor of medieval times.
Just how far such n parade will commend it,
self to the sober thought of progressive England
remains to he ssen. No doubt it will have it's
effect, for the English still very fond of their
aristocracy, though radicalism has made no
table progress within a few years.
But while people may admire ridcule the
pageant, this street show is of small Importance
compared with the sentiments put into the
mouth OF the sovereign by her responsible min
listers. According to the sketch of the speech
which + published today, the queen proclaims
that she intends TO pursue a harsh policy to-
wards Ireland. 1t will be interesting To see what
is now to be the next phase OF this long strug-
gle 1t was only the other day that both parties
seemed to be at ParneIls feet: now there is a
disposition to treat him as almost outlaw
and rebel. Perhaps by another fortnight the
Irish leader will have regained his mastership.
One who follows the silver controversy now
raging i'm Congress and the newspapers. will not
get very fiatterins opinion of the American
people. According to the monometalists, the
country west of the Alleghenies is populated
with fools and knaves. who are trying to cheat
their creditors out of twenty per cent of their
dues. But according to the silver men,
business centers at the east are nests of crime.
where constituencies thieves plot againt the
rights of the poor. IT is to be hoped that for
eigners will not take at our own valuation.
They should take into account that element of
picturesque eXaggeratiOn which enters so
largely into the composition of our people. AS
a sober fact, tine average morality OF the United
States in money matters is quite up to that of
the world in general.

One feature of the newly naturalized sport of
tobogganing which will commend it to Ameri-
cans is its speed. Ii Is said that on some of the
slopes the sleds acquire velocity of ninety
miles an hour. Perhaps this is an exaggera-
ton, but il is noted that Gov Hill who tried
the sport Monday night at Albany made record
of $50 feet in Il seconds. This feat, however, is
not remarkable. Probably it could be more
than matched by Old-fashioned shedding on the
long and steep New England hills. The speed
is far less, also, than that attained without
comment by railroad trains moving on q level.
train going a mile a minute traverses ninety
feet a second, or very nearly twice the average
distance covered each second in the ride men,
toned. They will have to make the hills
pretty steep to get ahead of the best speed of

The successful completion of the tunnel un-
der the Mersey Will attract renewed atten-
ton to the similar project at New York. By
the Mersey tunnel Liverpool is now connected
with Birkenhead, and new outlet of great
commercial Importance is opened thereby to
the south and east. The work is 5000 feet in
length, which is more than twice that of the
Thames tunnel, now used for railroad purposes.
The Hudson river tunnel would be $500 feet
in length.
1t seems as If the keen competition of the
trunk lines that have their eastern terminus in
New York would necessitate the completion of
the North river entrance. At present the Gen.
trail has an enormous advantage over its rivals
by having such convenient station. The fer
ries are an awkward expedient, at the best, and
are not always to be relied upon. This will be
especially true of a long terry route in the bay.
The upshOt OF the present rivalries will un-
doubtedly be, at some time in the future, a
union tunnel which shall take all the roads
into the heart of the city.
