that it will be completed in four years. IN
view of the fact that one-sxth of the con-

This country should let canals and railroads

money to devote to such improvements 1t
need not go outside Of its own territory to
spend it. 1t should be thankful TO Mr.. Les

TOLEDO, March l5-At an early hour
this morning, the people were aroused by a
tremendous explosion, Weakening everybody
in The city. Many rushed into the streets
to find the cause, and were directed by the
light of an enormous connagration to the
linsc@d oil mills Of Varnay, Taylor Il Co.,
on the middle grounds along the river above
the Union depot, which were on fire. The
mills consisted OF an elevator used for the
storing Of flax seed, largo building con-
tanning machinery for grinding oil, and a
large two story brick building used for a
refinery. The fire was discovered in the
latter and an alarm turned in, but before the
tiremen reached the scene large iron tank

pose in refining lnseed oil, exploded with a

WITH THE revenue derived from liquor
license gone, with nothing but coupons COM
ing in for taxes, with money commission
exacted by the collectors upon oil coupons
offered them, whether received or not, and
with heavy drafts upon the treasury to pay
tho damages assessed against collectors for
attempting to collect taxes in money, Vir-
ginia is in almost as bad condition as she
could be. And, what's more, things seem
to be growing from bad to worse, and no
matter how far into the future sight is pro-
duced, no break in the cloud scan be discov-
cred. And all this, too, when, under the
new assessment, provided the liquor tax
had been let alone, the revenue Of the State
would have been amply sufficient for all her
expenses.

1t is reported to-day that Mr. Willis, of
Kentucky, aware that there is no chance Of
the Blair bill ever being reported from the
House Educational Committee. has deter
mined to introduce that bill vito an unim
portant section striSen out, so as to make
it new bill, and try to have it referred to
another committee, and that he would have
done so to-day if there had been, as was ex-
pected, o call Of STATE S for bills in the House.
Il is not at all likely that such move will
succeed, for the reason that there are too
many sticklers for the spirit. as we'll as the

FRED DOUGLASS, now that he has at last
been removed from his $4,000 office, comes
out and talks about the people of tho South
q, lie fel! at liberty to do during the last
Presidential campaign. In an article in
General Mahone's organ, now printed in
Washington, Mr.. Douglass is even patron
izing to the Southern people, and says
"They will ultimately see that it is good to
be honest and true, even TO those they have
formerly onslaved and pluudered, and whom
they still dofraud of their political rights"
He says this in relation to the Blair educa.
tonal bill, which he processes TO support:
but, the way he talks about the South, like
the amendments made to the Blair bill by
the republicans in the Senate, looks very
much az if his real object be to provoke
Southern congressman to vote against it.
