county roads" the Commissioners are
authorized to make levies, and they are
required to set apart a portion of such
levy as a Bridge Fund. That moneys
raised under such levy can be used " for
1.-The repair and preservation " of the Ma
tional Road there can be no doubt, and
that that part of the same levy set apart
for Bridge Fund may likewise be drawn
upon seems clear enough.
On all the other macadamized roads of
the county, built at the expense of con-
tiguous landholders, bridges and culverts
were paid for out of the County Bridge
Fund, and repairs of bridges are still be-
ing paid for out of that fund, although
upon most of them tolls are collected
1t is fair that the county at large should
contribute to that extent toward main
tanning these improved roads, and there
is even greater reason why it should
maintain the bridges and culyerts upon
a great highway built and presented to
these people by the general government.
1t is unreasonable to suppose that, be-
cause the people who use the National
Road are willing to pay for the use of it,
in order to help maintain good road,
therefore they must keep up the bridges
and culverts, also, while they are taxed
to provide bridges and culverts upon un-
improved roads that are little used. Per
sons especially interested in the preSer-
vation of the National Road should in
sist that this wrong be ended, and that
all moneys thus unlawfully, as we be-
lieve, and unfairly diverted from that
road be restored to it.
The Commissioners of the county, an
nually, at their June session, are author
lied to make levies for roads and bridges,
and they may set apart portion of such
levy for a bridge fund, and it must so
appear upon the duplicate. The rule in
this county for many years has been to
designate the entire sum so levied as a
bridge fund. Under this authorization
moneys can be raised for the preserva-
ton of this road as provided in the act
transferring it to the counties.

Mr.. A. W. CAMPBELL, formerly editor
of the Wheeling Intelligencer, is always
an entertaining letter writer, and he de-
serves better treatment at the hands of
the intelligent proof-reader than the
spelling of GOrtschakoff, in his account
of his visit and talks with Cassius NJ.
Clay, would indicate. If the great Min
lister of the Gar Nicholas could see his
name spelled "GortchacOw," he would
feel that, after all, to be the foremost
man of his time was of little moment.

THE MILLS BILL AT WORK

New York Mail and Express, July 2S.
The direful effects of the Mills bill are
already beginning to be felt. A large
hosiery establishment of New Jersey is
to close to-day, and 800 hands will be
thrown out of employment. The cause
of this is that the agitation consequent
on the passage of the Mills bill is so
dull that production must stop. When
that stops wages must also stop. 1t is
not possible, of course, for the Mills bill
to become law, but the market is SEN
sitive, and buying stops until the tariff
policy of the country is settled. In the
meantime wages stop, and the working
men and women of New Brunswick
must starve or leave their homes in
search of employment elsewhere. The
Mills bill reduces the rates of duty on
such goods as are manufactured at this
mill $3.50 dozen pair, so that by the
removal of the specific duty on weight
the manufacturer loses protection of
about $420 dozen pair, while he gains
only s1.70 by having wool made free.
This is an illustration of what must
happen during the coming summer
throughout the country. The buyers
will not take the risk of laying in large
stocks of goods in view of the fact that
goods may be made cheaper by Demo
cratic success. This year, in cOnse-
quence of the tariff agitation production
in the United States will be much less
than it has been for several years, and
as wages come from products, the effect
on the wage Garner of the country will
be very disastrous.

THE Democratic warfare upon the tar
if is bearing its fruits. The attempt to
strike it down, and the uncertainty as to
the future felt in commercial and manu-
featuring circles, have Frustrated bust
ness. Money is tight, and men who are
in tight places are being squeezed.
The probabilities are that this state of
affairs will continue until after the No
vember election. 1t is not felt to so great
an extent in St Clairsville as in some
other towns, because two large and cost
ly churches and county buildings in pro-
cess of erection give employment to men
and help to keep money in circulation;
but the cry of hard times is heard all over
the land. Taxes were pretty well paid
up, but the explanation is that farmers
despairing of doing any better, let theil
wool go at 23@ 25c, rather than incur the
penalties.

HELPING TIE RIGHT SIDE.

To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in a general point of view, but
is judicious and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side of
the body, just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver The most efficient
help is afforded by HoStetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-bilious medicine of in
comparable efficacy. mactiOn of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache, furred tongue, nausea, occa-
sional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yel-
1Owness of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver com
plant, routed by the bitters is accompan-
led by them in its flight. Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver, dyspep-
sia, rheumatism, debility and kidney
troubles are all maladies to the early re
lief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its

is legitimate medicine, carefully com
pounded by an experienced and skillful
physician, and adapted to woman's deli

This guarantee has been printed on the

THE exports of the United States in
the fiscal year just ended fell off more
than $20,000,000 as compared with the
corresponding period of 1869, while
the imports increased over $31, 100000,
the net balance of trade against the
United States being nearly S28,000,00O,
on the face of the returns. AS matter
of fact the American debt to Europe
was increased much more than that
sum, the undervaluation of imports and
the interest payments on foreign capital
invested in the United States being
usually estimated at $10,000,00O a
month, or $120O0O,0O0 a year. Not
much evidence of a Chinese wall tariff
about such figures.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND makes a great

POLITICAL POINTS.

GEN. HARRIsON'S brief impromptu
speeches are highly praised for their
force, simplicity, timeliness and good
taste. They especially shine with mer-
it brought into contrast with Mr.. Cleve-
lands labOred statistical efforts made
up chiefly of facts gathered from the
encyclopaedia.
SPEAKING of the numerous flopS from
the ranks of Cleveland'S former support
ers, on account of the tariff issue, the
New York Sun says: "Their detection
is a feature which cannot be ignored.
And, what is more important, it indi-
Gates drift, which, if not checked, may
become the most important feature of
the campaign"
THE London Ne1cs prefers that Mr..
Cleveland be made President to Mr..
Harrison, and gives its reasons as fol
lows: "Mr. Cleveland shows that he is a
free trade candidate in everything but
the name. The reservation is an import
ant one for American party purposes.
The President feels compelled to char
acterize the attempt to brand him as a
deception of his enemies. For all that
the electoral conflict now in progress is
conflict between free trade and pro-
lection and nothing less"
GEN. JAMES A. WALKER, of Wythe-
vile, Va, who was Lieutenant Governor
of the State under the Democratic rule
of Governor Holiday, has come into the
Republican ranks. He says he cannot
stand free trade and cannot vote for
Cleveland, but says Southwest Virginia
will 90 for Harrison and Morton. This
is big whack at free trade.
TIE opinion is expressed in Washing
ton that Congress will be able to adjourn
by September Is.
DAVID J. NAUGHTON, the prominent
New York labor leader, says that 100,-
900 Irishmen who have heretofore voted
the Democratic ticket will support Har-
rison this fall.
THE South American States are as
much delighted over Mr.. Cleveland's
tariff policy as England. The wool
growers of the Argentine Republic are
preparing to send him complete collec-
tion of Argentine woods as "a compli-
ment to his policy of tariff reform"
CRITTENDEN COUNTY, ARK, will no
doubt cast solid Democratic vote in
the coming election, as the chief Repub-
licans have been run out for insisting
upon voting as they liked. Summary
procedure of this character is always
followed by great Democratic gains.
PEOPLE who are interested in having
the Constitution of the State amended
are respectfully invited, at their earliest
convenience, to give their views upon
one or more subjects in connection with
constitutional revision. These views
should be addressed to +. L. Hall, Clerk
of the joint legislative committee on
constitutional revision at Columbus.
Whatever this committee may recon-
mend will be reported to the General
Assembly for consideration. The OBJ
ject in getting these suggestions is to
avoid the possible necessity, for the
present, of another Constitutional Con-
vention. The doors are thrown open to
the people to participate almost in di-
rect form, in the preparation of revised
Constitution.-COl, Dispatch.

GEO. ROGERS CLARK.

HIS APPEARANCE AND HIS NAME.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Much is being said of Gen. George
Rogers Clark, one of the truly great men
of all time.
The account, which Judge Burnet
gives of visit to Gen. Clark, in 1899,
may be of interest. He, with Mr.. St.
Clair, son of Gov st. Clair, found Gen.
Clark at the residence of his brother,
near Louisville, and makes the following
record, at page 81 of his "NOtes:"
"When called on by the gentlemen
mentioned above, who were induced to
make their visit by the veneration they
entertained for his military talent and
services, his health was much impaired;
but his majestic person, strong features
and dignified department gave evidence
of an intelligent, resolute mind. He had
the appearance of a man born to COM
mand and fitted by nature for his deS-
tiny.
''There was gravity and sOlemnity
in his demeanor, resembling that which
so eminently distinguished the venera-
ted father of his country. A person IA
miliar with the lives and character of
the military veterans of Rome, in the
days of her greatest power, might read
ily have selected this remarkable man as
a specimen of the model he had formed
of them in his own mind; but he was
rapidly falling victim to his extreme
sensibility and to the ingratitude of his
native State, under whose banner he had
fought bravely and with great success" )"
1t seems to be fashionable to spell
Gen. Clark's name with final e, and a
correspondent of yours represents that
the name on his tombstone is Clarke.
This spelling is undoubtedly wrong.
Judge Burnet gives the name as Clark.
The American Pioneer, volume l, page
437, has what purports to be a fac Simile
of his signature to a receipt, which is
G. r. Clark. l have a letter from the
widow of nephew, who writes the
name Clark, and | also have a genealo-
gy of Gen. Clark's family, prepared by
his grand nephew, DIR. Jonathan Clark,
in which the name is uniformly spelled
without the final e.
While it may not be important to get
name exactly right, it is best to be ac-
curate. Byron alludes to the unpleas-
antness of being killed in battle and
having ones name "misspelled in the
bulletin" Respectfully,
