The highways OF Claiborne coun-
ty are remarkable, chiefly for
their multiform and complicated
wretchedness and enlightened
visitors would almost doubt
the civilization of a community
that tolerates such means Of travel.
Our roads are literally disgrace
to the county, their worst feature
being extreme narrowness on The
hiIlsides. In such situations they
form deep defiles, many of which
are SO contracted that ii is impossi-
Bile for vehicles to pass each other.
At many points, in fact, even a
horseman can not pass o wagon
without danger Of being squeezed
against the bank, or getting his
horse hurt by the wheels. Narrow
roads are bad enough on level
ground, but on steep hilIsides they
are very dangerous. and are con-
slant menace to life and limb. Is.
pecially is this the case if they are,
as often with MS, SO long and wind

The Natchez Democrat is trying
to stir up some interest among the
Adams county ladies in behalf Of the
Chicago Fair. 1t says that the cause
exciles "yery little enthusiasm a
mong our townswomen. The call
for the establishment of a COlumbi-
an Club met with feeble response,
six ladies only being on hand at the
appointed time" /"
BY the way, what is Claiborne
county going to do in the cause ?
While satisfied that our legislature,
following the example Of Texas, Ten
nessec and other great states, acted
wisely in declining to.spcnd any Of
the public funds on this scheme, we
think it would be commendable for
the citizens, in their individual ca
pacity, TO raise money enough TO
make crcditabIe exhibit. Tho gem
eral apathy displayed in the matter.
though 10 be regretted, is good proof
that the legislatures refusal to vote
an appropriation was strictly in ac-

The Protestants OF northern Ire
land have put themselves stubbornly
against the great home-rule move
ment for which patriotic Irishmen,
aided BY millions Of English sympa-
thizers, are so earnestly contending.
This Is a most unfortunate position
for these Protestants TO occupy.
They profess to fear oppression at
the hands Of their Catholic country
men, In case Ireland wins the boon
of homo rule; but apparently see
nothing unfair in keeping a great
Catholic majority under the govern
ment OF small Protestant minority.
However, whether the Ulster Prot
estants oppose the movement or not,
will matter very little in the end, for
Irish homc-ruIe is one OF the certain
ties Of the future. Their attitude
wlIl serve only to make them appear
a sort OF traitors to their native land.

ing one OF these hillside dtiiles,
thus warning people at the other
end Of the trap 10 keep out Of the
way. Such are the primitive Gus
toms observed by Claiborne county
travellers in the last decade Of the
nineteenth century.
IL is vain to expect any improve
ment with our present systom Of
roa9making. Not one overseer in
twenty understands his business I;
and the few who do have some ra-
tional ideas about roads shrink
from requiring of the hands (who
are also their near neighbors) the
hard labor necessary to put the
roads into proper condition. The
result is .'distracled botching"
under which our highways are
steadily growing worse.
Tho remedy is pIain-the over
seer system should DO abolished
and the roads put under the super
vision Of one competent man who
has a knowledge Of engineering.
Then let a road tax be levied and
the roads worked by Daid labor.

The nomination OF Dir. Cleveland
next month seems to be inevitable.
Nearly all Of the states that have
thus far held conventions have in
dorsed his tariff policy and culogized
his administration and though from
many Of them the delegates will go
to the national convention without
formal instructions for any candi-
date, ON overwhelming majority
are enthusiastic Cleveland men.
The cx-presidcnt's popularity is a
marvel even to his own friends, nor
has it been won by the arts Of the
demagogue. 1t is a spontaneous
tribute to his exalted patriotism and
unfinching devotion 10 duty.
The only question as to the wis
dom Of nominating him arises from
doubt of his ability to carry New
York. But many OF the best inform
ed and most loyal democrats Of that
state assert that Mr.. Cleveland CON-
mands stronger support there than
any other man whom the party can
nominate. Some Tammany votes
he would lose, but this loss would be
more than offset by a gain of thou
sands of Independents and anti-pro-
lection Republicans. And it is high
time for the national Democracy to
refuse any longer to be dictated to
by Tammany Hall. !.
TO set aside Grover Cleveland, the
champion Of tariff reform and civil
service reform, in order to give the
nomination 10 some neutral politi-
clan on the ground of availability
would be 10 abandon the very prin-
ciples that give the Democratic par
ty it's vitality. But there seems no
danger that the convention win COM
nit that blunder. DIR. Cleveland
viii be the nominee.
