Senator Carlisle on Popular Government

Senator Carlisle on Popular Government.
AT the Reform banquet in New York on
the night of the 23rd inst, Senator John
G. Carlisle of Ky. followed Mr.. Cleveland
and was loudly cheered. He spoke on
popular Government. Its Just Extent ard
Limitations" Before he spoke he was
presented by Mr.. Wheeler, on behalf OF
the Reform Club, with the silver cup orig
inally presented by the thirteen States to
Thomas Jefferson.
Mr.. Carlisle feared there was still large
number Of persons in the Republic, as in
its early youth, who did not like to see the
people governing themselves. His opening
remarks were sketch and criticism of the
rise Of popular governpeut in the United
States.
"Local self. government" he continued,
sis popular government 10 the true Ameri-
can sense of the term, and every step taken
to transfer the power of legislation or ad.
ministrasion from the locality in which the
law is to operate and deposit it in the
hands of men in another locality is direct
assault on the liberties of the people.
Great applause.)
"Real, gen line, effective, popular gov
eminent in this country is found only in
the Ssstes-(applause)-sud therefore,
whatsoever directly or indirectly attempts
to deprive the local authority of the exclu.
sive right to control it's cwn affairs, what
ever protestations may be made to the con-
trary, is engaged in an attempt to over
throw popular government. cloud cheers.
There is great political party in this coun-
try striving substantially to do this by con-
struction and implication-like Hamilton
to extinguish local government. When the
majority disregrrds all limitations in it's
power and governs according to its own
pleasure, then it ceases TO represent any
bUdy bus Itself, and its rule is purely ar BIZ
trary. There is no government where the
rights Of the minority are not respected
There is no rule so aggressive as the I'M.
restrained rule of the majority"
Mr.. Carlisle vent on to attack Reedsm
in the House of Representatives, and scor
ed point after point against republican
Czarism in the House. He pictured the
result of tho continuance of such govern
ment, and said that If it we're not put an
erd TO "we would some day see hore a con.
solidated empire"

President Barclay.

The Buena Vista Advocate is furnishing
sketches of the business men of that place,
introducing its commencement of them
with the following of MIR. A. T. Barclay,
President Of the Buena Vista Company
Buena Vista and its extraordinary growth
and the successful establishment there oil
80 many leading industries are matters in
which many citizens of Staunton and
Augusta and surrounding counties have
not few social and large money interests.
The leading man of the place who is in a
fair way to accomplish even more for the
great interests in his keeping than he has
done in the rapid progress Of the past, liz
the language of the ADVOCATE, needs no
introduction, but the tribute to him is
nevertheless worthy of repetition wherever
Buena Vista interests are held, aud intelli-
gent, earnest, md successful work in Vir-
ginia development is appreciated -
''Mr. Barclay needs no introduction to
the public. His successful admins ration
of the great land company which has built
Buena Vista has made him famous not only
10 Virginia but far beyond her borders.-
When Messrs. Moomaw and Jordan, de-
cded, after long and careful discussion, to
offer Mr.. Barclay the presidency of the
company, they builded better than they
knew He entered into the great enter
prise with admirable nerve and confidence
Mr.. Barclay is al optimist, but his san
guine temperament is balanced by an ex.
csllent judgment. He combines the rare
qualities of faith, sense, and pluck, these
three, but the greatest of these is,-well,
its hard TO say which. Put them Together
and you have kind Of vitalized engine
Again Mr.. Barclay is what you would call
a growing man, which also is rare thing
Some men are cast, Some others wonld
grow were it not for an affection commonly
called swell-head very ciosely allied to soft
head. But the subject OF. our sketch has
shown capacity to com prehend and carry
forward large enterprises, without showing
the slightest symptom Of self-conscious
ness. He is plainly broad minded,
busy, hard-working successful
man. His services will be Indispensable to
Buena Vista for years to come, until she is
firmly established, and it is gratifying to
know that there is unanimous demand
for his reelection to the presidency Of the
Buena Vista Company. No man SO well
&c ho can concentrate all those agencies
and elements necessary to the successful
p osecution of great enterprise, and the
up building of large industrial city.

INDEBTEDNESS 1t is worth while, as
the close Of the year is reached, to ponder
on declaration of the Financial Chronicle,
that ''there is nothing so important in
business transactions as promptness. There
is of necessity kind of mutual dependence
upon each other among the parties to all
contracts, and this dependence is frequent
ly very far reaching" This, says the Nor
folk Vdrgi"ian, is unqualifiedly true, both
as to public and private Indebtedness, and
as to amo UNITS great and small.
Viewed in correct light we find that
ons man depends upon another; the second
upon the third, and so on indefinitely. A
failure at any one point is like breaking a
link in a chain. 1t complicates aud disar-
ranges the relations Of all others in the
chain of mutual dependencies. Promptness
to meet financial obligations is at all times
very important, but in seasons of depression
in monetary affairs, like the present, its
importance is greatly enhanced.

Garfield-NeWell.

In Chicago yesterday Mr.. James Garfield,
the second son of the late President JAMES
Garfield, was married to Miss heleu Newell,
the second de- lighter of Mr.. John Newell,
President of the Lake Shore s. Michigan
Railroad, whose handsome residence, at
which the marriage took place, is in Chica-
go, Illinois, whilst his headquarters, as
President of the Railroad mentioned, is 10
Cleveland, Ohio.
The Cleveland correspondent of the New
York Herald says:-
Miss Helen Newell is the second daugh-
ter of the president of the Lake Shore, and
is young lady of peculiarly handsome and
attractive appearance With light brown
hair, gray eyes, half hid under long, brown
lashes, a bright, clear complexion, she
would attract more than usual attention
wherever she might appear. She was ed
ucated in the East, and has spent at least
one summer abroad and is in every way
fitted for any position which she may be
called to occupy.
HTHE SON OF HIS FATHER"
After their honeymoon Mr.. and Mrs. Gar.
| Geld will probably return to Mentor or
| Cleveland to live.
| James Garfield is in many respects more
like his father than any OF the Presldents
sons. He has the sturdy frame and good
natured countenancs which marks his faith
er's pictures and in both manner and mental
makeup is said to closely resemble his
| illustrious parent. Both he and his broth
er take deep interest in public
affairs and James especially is said to desire
to take his place at>the proper time in pub
lie life. With the alliance of President
Newell as president of The Lake Shore it is
not unlikely that some day young Garfield
may be found to figure in \the counsels OF
that great branch of the Vanderbilt system
and the name once so prominent in Con-
gressioual affairs again be found IN the An
nails of the nation.

Several European countries have been in-
duced by the Mckinley bill to raise the
duty on imports from this country. As
nearly all the exports of this country are
agricultural products, and as the countries
referred TO are among the largest importers
of such products, the farmers of the United

paid by the election of a democratic Pfesi-

A FIRE ExTINGUIsHED WITH CIDER.-
Last Saturday night fire broke out in Sbt
store house of Bartlett 81 Woodson, at
Loeb Laird. When the smoke was dis
covered the door was broken open, and it
was found that the floor had caught from
the stove. Water was Involvement and
hard crust had formed on the snow, SO that
it was impossible to utilize it. A happy
suggestion occurred, that barrel of cider
was in the store-room, and quick as thought
its contents were emptied on the burning
floor, quickly extipguishing the flames. So
cider has other uses than that of being a
beverage.-Buena Vista Advocate, Dec. 26.
