Rlaine'S Idea.

The Boston Herald has interviewed large
number of prominent Maine Republicans
and finds that Mr.. BLAINE's reciprocity
idea meets with general favor.
Many of the persons whom its reporters
saw are enthusiastic over the proposition,
and declare that if the Senate feels bound
TO pass the tariff bill now before it, it
should speedily follow it up with another
embracing the chief features of Dir. BLAISE's
plan

not so numerous that we have reached a

The speeches made and the resolutions

II was reported on the streets that Mr..
Frank Hume had made a public declara-
ton of his intention not to run on an in
dependent ticket for Congress from this
district. Investigation. however. failed to
find any basis for the rumor. No one
could be found who had heard Mr.. Hume
make the statement credited to him, and
the gentleman who was said to have heard
IL declares that Mr.. Hume said nothing at
all abont the Independent ticket. The
only thing he did say about politics was
that he would not go into the Leesburg
Convention. =,
The fact that Mr.. Hume has not denied
that he ia going TO oppose the regular
Democratic ticket makes IT look very much
as if he was watching events before, de-
clarlng his intention either way. II he finds
the opportunity to be favorable one. 1t
IS thought that he will come in the field
and try with the aid Of the Republican
votes he can get to defeat the straightout
Democratic ticket.

The fact that both the Union and City rail-

To 0e Editor of Re Dispatch
Is it contrary to law for q superintendent
Of public schools in one county to endorse
first-class certificate OF proficiency gwen
by a superintendent of public schools IN
another county? think not, aud have
known it to be done. Blu. i have also
known superintendent to reject such an
application, requiring the applicant
who wished to Obtain position 70
90 to the additional expense OF
going 10 another county TO attend
the examination, Notwithstanding a
frst-cass certificate had been given by
the superintendent of the county in which
the applicant lived the said person fail
ing to receive school in her own county
for the reason that no vacancy existed.
Now the public-school teachers work
hard and receive very small pay, and do
not think they should be subjected to any
more trouble than necessary, and 1t Is Tor
this reason that ask the question. And
most especially do | ask 1t IN the interest
of the female teachers. PocAHoSTas.
As we understand the law superln-
tendent has complete discretion in the
matter. He can accept or reject certifi-

In Portsmouth Who Want Compensation
from the Railroad.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
NORFOLK, August 5. 1890.
The Portsmouth Board of Trade held q
sort of indignation meeting last night IN
regard to the Injunction granted by Judge
Lacy against the Seaboard and Roanoke
railroad, and adopted resolutions depre-
eating the action of the property-holders
in antagoniZing the tracks on Crawford
street and urging the courts TO advance
the case on the docket. Judge Watts IN
his speech stated that the Seaboard Air
Line had already expended over $1,000 IN
preliminary work, and expected TO expend
800, 600 in improvements here for the At
lanta division business, in which would be
q union depot for the three roads having
their termini IN Portsmouth costing over
$50, 900. He had already received instruc-
ton from President Robinson to look
around for site for the general offices OF
the Seaboard Air Line to be erected by the
time the road enters Atlanta.
OBSTRUCTION DENOUNCED.
The motion to dissolve the injunction
will be heard by Judge G. w. Hill. of the
Circuit Court, on the 18th instant. The
petitioners, five property holders on Craw-
ford street, want compensation from the
railroad company for running double
track down the middle of the street, which
street is one hundred feet wide. on the
ground that they own sixty feet in front of
their dwellings,. The matter OF obstruct-
ing the improvements has very generally
excited the community.

NOW BARROW.

The Junction of the Alexandria and Fred
ericksburg railroad, with the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac, on the Poto-
mac river, about thirty-hye miles below this
city. was known until a week or two ago
as Quantico, or Potomac City. Now it is
called Barrow, a syndicate having pur-
chased it and called 1t by its new name.
The Barrow Company, it is said, will in q
short while commence the erection of a
200-ton blast furnace, marine railway,
dry-dock, machine-shops, and ship-yards,
and works for charcoal and chemical
company.
The directors and corporators of the

TO ELECT DELEGATES.

The Democratic City Committee, Mr..
Harry Smoot chairman, held a meeting on
Saturday night last and fixed on Monday,
August nth. as the date for holding the
ward meetings TO choose delegates TO the
Leesburg Convention during the latter
part of this month. Each ward Will be
entitled to one delegate for every hundred
voters. Some other matters We're discuss
ed and disposed of before the meeting ad-
journed.
1t had been proposed that as General
Lee has no opposition for the nomination
that he benominated by acclamatlon, but
this is deemed unwise by the party leaders,
as it would give any one who might run
on an independent ticket chance TO say
that General Lee was not regularly noInl-
mated.
Rev. Father Jiraud, assistant pastor of
st. Mary's church here, preached his fare
well sermon to large congregation on
Sunday. He leaves here in few days for
the monastery at Frederick. Nd. lie Will
be succeeded by Rev. Father Romano, ).
j. Father Jiraud during his stay III this
place has made many friends both among
the Catholics and Protestants, who VIII re-
greet his going away.
Mr. Herbert Snowden, clerk of the City
School Board, has completed the taking of
the school census of this city, and his re-
port is now in the hands of the Superin-
tendent of City Schools for inspection.
The report shows that there are $500 white
and ,9li colored children in this city be-
tween the ages of five and twehty-Oue.
This is an increase of 24l over the census
of 1880

broken.
