has just been accomplished here in
this line that is worthy of notice,
The Louisville and Nashville r. r
Co. has just completed the Cumber-
land river bridge, and it is now all OF
iron. There are three spans to this
structure. The draw, or middle
span, was iron the others wood. 1t
occurred to the company that the
structure would be more substantial
and less expensive in the long run il
built entirely of iron. AS a conse.

 On April 27, the federal supreme court will take up the question of the constitutIonality of the McKin ley tariff law.

 The head Of Liberty on the new silver dollar is modelled from the head of Miss Anna w. Williams, in structor of philosophy at the girls normal school in Philadelphia. The southern output of iron has increased from little over a quarter of million tons in 1880 to over two million in 1890. And in all but four years of this time the southern states had only one hand to work with, having to use the other constantly to parry the blows of Radicslism. Over % per cent of the population Of the United States is now in cities of over 5000 inhabitants Md there are enough towns and viila@s of less population than 5000 to bring the total of town dwellers somewhere l between a third and half of the en- tire population. The census shows now, as in 1881, that the town growth is depicting the country in the vicln 1 ity of every growing town.

THERE are SIX important state
 elections this year, the only ones to occur before 1892. Ohio, New York, Iowa, Maryland, Kentucky and New Jersey will elect governors this fall. Strange to say all of these states now have democratic governors and the contest of this year will be to hold what the democrats have al ready won. Maryland, Kentucky and New Jersey will of course elect the democratic nominees. The prin cipal b2ttiefelds will be in Ohio, New York and Iowa. In Ohio Mo Kinley will be the republican nomi- nee and. Campbell will represent the democrats if he cares to make the fight again. The farmers alliance will make the fight in Iowa, while in New York the Cleveland Hill i'm Ibroglio may result disastrously to the democrats.

THE full text of Secretary BIaine's

THE full text of Secretary BIaine's last letter to the Italian government has been given to tue public. It IS an able document, clearly presenting the American view The Secretary states that the United States is not required to grant private indemnity nnder the treaty with Italy, that the government is not the insurer of the lives or property of Italian subjects. Foreigners are entitled to redress in our courts but have no rights above American citizens. The injury to the foreigners at New Orleans was mot the act of government officials but of private citizens, and therefore the government is not responsible. Punishment of the mob must be by the state courts and not by federal authority. The American position as stated by the Secretary is fair to all parties and is logically impregna. ble.

Public Spirit Essential.

Two classes of citizens live in ev cry community. One helps to bear the burdens of society, the other lives exclusively for itself. If pub lie schools are obtained, churches built. manufacturing enterprises se- cured. or anything else done for the benefit of the entire community, one class joins in and does It, the other sits stlll and reaps the benefits. It does not matter that these public enterprises are indispensable, that material or moral prosperity cannot be had without them, ore class sits still and lets the other supply them.
 Tine class to which a person may belong IS not determined by his f. nancial ability. It is simply mat ter of disposition. Not unfrequent- ly those of the most means do the least. The burdens of society as a rule are not borne by the rich, but by the great middle or working class. But no one is exempt from the obll gation. The greater his ability the heavier his responsibility, and the man who accumulates wealth from the public and then refuses to give back anything to the public in re- turn is in one sense a robbsr. While there is no law to reach him, there should be an indignant public sentl ment to hold him under the ban of it's ostracIsm and contempt. He who does nothing tor the public should receive nothing from the pub lie.
 What would any community do without it's public institutions, it's schools, churches, railroads and It's many other enterprises, whose es- tablishment and support are depend ent upon popular liberality? They lie at the foundation of all prosperi ty. Their benefits reach and are felt by all, and while they may be operated by denominations, compan- les or individuals there is not citi- zen who does not reap personal ad- vantages from them, and who does not sustain personal obligations to them.
 The growth of a community de. pends upon it's liberal element. Ob- structlonists are clogs upon its wheels and their existence is con stant menance to it's progress. The sooner they are un loaded, the quick CT they are repudiated the better for the public interest.
 The liberal man, the one imbued with pubhc spirit, alone is entitled to and should receive the people s patronage, and as d rule he will re. ceiye It. The narrow policy is a mistaken one. It may succeed for 8 tune, and in fact enable the acqulsi ton and retention of few paltry dollars, and gratify to an extent ayarice and selfishness, but the pleasure derived is of the bruitish kind beside which poverty is bless. ing. Money or effort contributed to public enterprises IS the best possi- ble investment and will certainly be paid back with interest.
 Russellville fortunately has not many who belong to the llliberal class. The chief distinction of her history has been the public spirit Of her people. It has placed her among the live and progressive towns of the state. As in the past so in the present 1t is the only hope Of our prosperity. At present sever al movements of public nature are on foot. One member of the com munity is as much interested in them as another and let each one feel the obligation resting upon hin to aid In their establishment.
