The Republicans appear to be in trouble
about two oftheir chief speakers--Bo Inger-
soil, the noted infidel, and Mr. Blaine. Inper
soils attitude on the rum question does not
fit in with the high license plank in the Re-
publican platform of New York, although it
might do very well with the Republican Ma
tlonal platform, in it's declaration for free
whisky, and consequently Ingersoll has been
notified by the Republican National Commit
tee that his services will be no longer reuuir-
ed. Brother Blaine too, has given the Com
mittee trouble. His apology for trusts is al
most more than the committee can stand, and
1t has cautiously requested him 10 confer
with a subcommittee, on the subject of his
personal participation in the canvass. Blaine
resents this as supervision upon his utter
ances, and GOODNESS has come between the
magnetic man and the Republican commit
tee. Blaine will not be put down, however
and intends to speak in New York, to.mor.
row, at meeting with which the national
committee will have nothing to do. The
outlook for Republican harmony is far
from encouraging.

PRIESTHOOD, SEPT. 18th, 1888.
Ny Dear Col. Stump: | have read in the

to the Deer Creek and Bel Air people for an eff
fort TO raise $4,000 for the Sasauehanpa and
Deer Creek Railroad. anu glad to see that Won

of that place is as much interested as farmers
along the line of the proposed road, who have
already subscribed nearly 81, 600 per mile. [
remember the very small progress made by our
capital from 1888 to 1885, and contrasting It
with the advance made since the completion of
the Maryland Central, / consider it hardly
worth while to enumerate the advantages of
possessing one more railroad. If examples are
wanting to induce your citizens to move for an
other road, look at the small western towns,
who mold out every possible inducement to
ROADS which they hope to attract to them. Not
one OF those places would have hesitated i'm

facturers land for their works. fue! for five wears

some time been going on in The Forum, in
which Senator Wade Hampton, on one side, and
Mr. Geo. W. Cable and Senator Chandler, of
New Hampshire, on the other side, have partci
pated In the forthcoming October number,
Senator Eustls, of louisiana takes up the con-
troversy. file declares that this "question is a
running sore in our body polite !" and he looks
with no hope of healing on Federal interference
or Northern philanthropy and moral prescrip-
TONS Senator Eustis does not discuss RENE
dies for this sore, because in the nature of
things he doubts if there is a remedy, but he is
firmly the opinion that nothing is to be gained
by Northern agitation of the subject, which he
regards as offensive when the history of the i'm
portaton of the negro is recalled. The South
ern people have the problem, and it ought to
be left to their good sense and justice to solve it,
if it can be solved at all. Certainly nobody else
can solve it.
