Professional Artists n Terror.

Art stores and the dealers in artists
supplies are not supported to any degree
by professional talent, as in fact no dealer
cares to cater to that class of trade. Pro-
fessional artists are terror to business
men, for they seem to have no ideas of
ways and means Of transactrng business.
and think it all the same whether they
pay in a day or year Then the success
full men want you to tosdy to them and
submit to insolent reflections ON the con-
tracted ideas of all engaged in trade.
They will force their pictures on the pub
lie whether the execution is good, bad or
indifferent, and when the dealer remon-
strates they tIrn a scornful nose and
c&ustically comment on the terrible lack
of art culture among the uneducated.
There are men in the art supply bust
ness who have informed me that their
most sincere wish was that real profes-
sional would never cross the threshold of
their stores. The artists who have had
sense enough TO forego the ambition to
become famous and turned their pencils
and brushes into commercial work have
found q reward commensurate with the
cost of early training. There are dozen
commercial artists in St. Louis who today
claim incomes ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000, that lift them from the penury
and uncertainty of Bohemian whose life

THE ROAD LAW.

We publish elsewhere the text OF
the Road Law passed by the Legis-
lature for this county. There may
have been few unimportant changes
made, but we think the law, as we
publish it, is substantially as it was
passed by the Legislature. We hope
this law Will mAet the approval OF
our people. That we great! need
better roads IN this county we sup
pose all will readily admit. The law
as heretofore in force seems to have
been Intellectual. We hope, there
fore, the present law will meet the
endorsement of The people. With
out public sentiment in favor OF
the law, this law, as all others with
out sentiment to enforce it, will
be fruitless. If tb" people determine
to have good roads. they can have
them. Then let US determine to have
them-lawyers, doctors, merchants,
farmers, everybody-shoulder to
shoulder for good roads and We will
have them. We are all interested
in this matter. without regard to
class, profession or distinction.

THETOWNSHrP BONDS.

One among the most important
matters before the recent Legislature
was the Act to validate the bonds
issued by townships in aid of rail
roads. There is said to be consider
able difference Of opinion among the
ablest lawyers in the State as to
whether t0is Act will really legalize
the bonds. A large number of per
sons and majority Of the Legisla-
ture seemed to feel that some such
action was necessary. TO let these
bonds remain invalid without an
effort it was thought would greatly
impair the credit Of the State. This
Act is, we suppose, the best and all
the Legislature could do. These
bonds have been issued by the town
ships, and there is a moral obliga-
tion resting on the townships as well
as legal one to pay them, and the
payment should not be evaded by a
technicality. The railroads should
be required to perform their part
Of the contract, and as the validating
Act now reads. the money is not to
be paid unless the roads are built
We are of opinion that all the town
ships will willingly pay the tax if
they can be assured OF the compile
ton Of the roads The long delays
and the uncertainties in some cases
ofever securing the roads have caused
dissatisfaction. The people have
done their part the Legislature has
done its part now let the railroads
be built and the owners carry ont
their part OF ihe contract and there
will be no further trouble.

THE POCKET POLITICIANS.
Denial Of the Sentiments Attributed to
Them In Indianapolis-No Third Party.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, December 20
The delegation Of manufacturers and
others from this city, who visited Gen.
Harrison, returned this morning.
The Age- Herald tomorrow will pub
lish interviews with several of them IN
regard to the object of their visit. They
deny that they contemplate any third
party movement or that their visit has
any political Significance further than
to ascertain the feeling of the President
elect towards the South, and 10 assure
him Of their sympathy with his posi-
ton on the tariff issue. They express
themselves as eminently satisfied with
what Gen. Harrison had to say to
them, and his expressions of kindly
feeling for the South.
Fred Sloss, one of the delegation, re-
marked:
I'VE will not know whether we live
in Indiana or Alabama, 80 far as the
treatment We receive from Gen. Har-
rison's Administration is concerned"
The Age-Rernld will also publish in
terviews with a number of prominent
Democrats who did not sign the adj
dress to Gen. Harrison. They are
unanimous that there is 40 widespread
sympathy in Birmingham or in any
part OF the South with the proposed
project to start a new political move
ment in this section. They are mod
crate protectionists, but pronounced
Democrats. Some Of the gentlemen
who went to indianapolis acted with
the Democratic party locally, but all Of
them voted for Harrison in the Ma
tional contest.

There is still room for many more.
Many good resolutions will be
made for the new year. It IS well to

This has been remarkable year IN

government have been changed from
the hands Of one great political party
to another. The course OF human
events, however, will 60 on very

Whereas, certain townships in this

defect in the Acts authorizing the issue
of said bonds they have been declared

Now, therefore, for the purpose oi
carrying into effect the expressed will

The Rc,narka BILE Results of the Tariff Dis
cuSsion in Indiana.
I From the Boston Herald. !

The returns from the Congressional
elections in Indiana are encouraging to
the friends OF taritt'reforln. In the Hoo
sier State the Republicans did their
level best to start "a cyclone of fear
in regard to the terrible impoverish-
ment that wonld be brought upon the
country by a reduction Of taxation.
Gen. Harrison himself struck the
keynote on that point. He struck it
high, and and kept it ringing. TO the
thousands Of Republican pilgrims vino
swarlned TO indianapolis, that they
might draw inspiration from his per-
sonal guidance, lie painted the folly
and ingenuity Of imagining that Ame-
rican workmen could compete on equal
terms with the pauper laborers of Eu
erope. Yet the truth OF the matter is that
whenever our hampering ta1ift takes
its heavy hand from any industry, this
country can and does beat European
competition out Ofsight.
Well though Gen. Harrison's alarm
ist appeals were suppoted by MIR. Blaine
and echoed by hundreds of lesser
speakers, and though the Republican
managers made arrangements to mar
shall the floaters Of Hoosierdom to the
polls in blocks Of five, what is the
outcome of the Congressional elections
in Indiana? Why. simply this The
Democrats have kept possession of
every district which they carried in
1856, and they have wrested from the
Republicans no fewer than four of the
seven districts which that party OBJ
tanned at the. last election. In
the Ist district Republican plurality
of ! ,357 has been converted into DEM
ocratic plurality of %. In the Sth dis
trict, where the Republicans had d
lead of | ,lO2, the Democrats now come
to the front with a lead Of SO. In the
l1th district Republican plurality of
Hos has been turned into Il Democratic
plurality of 5775, and in the 18th dis
trct, according to the figures given by
telegraph, Republican plurality of
=, 4S4 is transmitted into a Democratic
plurality of Iii. In the present Con-
gress the Indiana delegation stands
seven Republicans to six Democrats.
In the next Congress the political! conf
pleXiOn will be reversed and the dele
CATION will stand ten Democrats to
three Republicans.

THE WAR AT WAHALAk.
Diligent Search for the Neg roes Engaged
in Sunday Nights Riot.

New ORLEANS, December - "A
Meridian special says
"a rumor was in circulation in this
city yesterday, based On dispatch sent
from Wahalak, 10 the effect that I'll"
negroes had congrcgated 4 second .inc
on the moutains west of that village
and that they outnumlmr~d the whites
who were seeking rctribu:inn for The
murder of Frank Maurv and seth Cobh,
and the woundjng of several other
whites during the riot Of Sunday night
last. This dispatch caused great cN-
element in .his city and at other points
on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. \
request was also made for help from
this city. and a number of men made
all necessary arrangements to g" 10 the

tion was taken, however, to send Il re-
sponsible party from Wahalak to look
into the truthfulnesS of the rumor. At
II o'clock this mO"Iining second dis
patch was received from the party that

more men were wanted, and that the
excitement had already subsidized.
at is believed, however, that at least
three negroes have been killed up TO
date, and that George Maury and The
other negroes connected with the riot
have boen run in at some point i'll the

parties in search. The kenperCounty
