The Right to Use the Streets.
This proposition involves the use of the
streets and avenues of this city by q pri-
vate corporation, or. indeed by private In
dividuals, for public purposes, on the as
sumption that such use Is justified by the
phrase, land for necessary extensions Of
such service In the first paragraph Of the
clause in the current District appropr!a-
ton bill in regard to electric lighting.
1t is a general proposition and one l
think beyond dispute, that the streets Of
this city cannot be used for the purpose Of
railway, water, gas, telegraph, telephone,
or electric light without authority from
Congress, in which the power to grant the
use of them is vested. (DiSt. VS.. B. and P.
r. R. Co., ia U. S., 453.)
The case above referred to involved the
question whether a railroad company had
the right to use the streets of Washington
without obtaining the previous assent CT
Congress, and it was held not. The court,
at page 45T, said: The streets Of Washing
ton are largely used by street railroad
companies, whose tracks occupy their sur
face. There are some four or five CT these
companies, and their cars are propelled by
horse power and not by steam. They are
not only a great convenience to the citi-
Zens but they have become almost a public
necessity. But it is not believed that a foot
of all these tracks over all these streets
exists otherwise than by virtue of an act
of Congress directing specifically and mi
nutely where this shall be DONE And no
power exists in one of these corporations to
lay track. however short. anywhere else
And again at page 400: The title to the
streets Of Washington is in the United
States, and not in the city, or in the own
ers Of the adjacent lots. THE Potomac
Steamboat Company VS.. the Upper Steam
boat Company. 100 U. s., 672.) 1t is, there

The Drouth of 1854.

The present drouth has many feat
ures in common with the great drouth
of 1854, which was so disastrous TO
the States east of the Mississippi river.
From that river west the crops were
exceptionally good. All kinds OF
stock was fat and fine; corn, wheat,
hemp, oats and grass were hardly
ever so abundant. AS soon as the
Mississippi river was crossed coming
east the desolation began, and by the
time Kentucky was reached the face
of the country appeared as If a deadly
sirocco had swept over the land.
Corn was worth So 10 &c a barrel
the next winter and much stock per-
ished, and there was more or less suf.
tering, but not by the negroes, for hui
name masters provided for them. 1t
may not be so again, tor the relation
ship of the races is changed and In
seasons of scarcity and famine the
poorer race may suffer. From ap-
pearances we may have scarcity
again, and prudent people should pro-
vide for contingencies. -Lexington

On Friday morning horse belong

to break-cart, took fright and dash
ed up Main street. That portion OF
Main from Maysville street to the
postoflice was almost jammed with
vehicles, many of them containing
women and children, and for few
seconds it seemed as If some one must
be killed. Miss Mayme Greene was
one of those sitting in her buggy, and
when her horse took fright she sprang
out of the vehicle, striking her head
on the stone pavement in front of
Samuels & Kings and falling under
the feet of DR.. Shirley's horse that
was standing near. AT first it was
feared she was badly hurt, but be-
yond the shock and great number OF
bruises, together with a cut or two.
she is not badly hurt, we are glad to

For Sound Money.

Bills were circulated yesterday
notifying the people that Judge II.
r. French would make speech at
the Court House in which he would
set forth as he saw them the rea-
sons why we should advocate the
single standard. Judge French
made one of the ablest arguments
made in many years in our city.
Judge French pitched his speech on
the plane of business proposition.
Mr.. III. M. Woodford replied to
Judge French and the Judge had
the closing argument. The judge
made speech that it is to he re-
gretted could not have been heard
by every conservative business man
in the county. 1t not only reflected
credit npon the speaker, but did
much to stem the tide among the
more conservative element of the
silver men. Even the more ex-
IRENE advocates of silver were
greatly impressed by the strong
and cogent reasons Judge French
gave for the faith that is in him.
To the credit of our Free Silver
friends we want to say, that, not
the strong feeling
that has been aroused by the warm
on this subject FOR
weeks past, they gave the Judge a
most courteous and respectful hear
idg. In fact the deep interest ex-
hibited on both sides most plainly
showed that the people are ardent
ly DESTROYS of being intelligently |
informed on the subject. We wish |
Judge French might be induced to
speak on this question in each neigh
borhood in the county.

You Are Right.

A gentleman, representative Dem.
ocrat, was in the city Monday, and
when asked his position on the money
question, said 81 am a Democrat
He might have said with equal clear
ness, "the platform which will be
adopted as Chicago will suit me-"
This money question is a perplex-
ing one; very few men see it
exactly alike. Democrats should come
to themselves, quit these family quar-
rols, and on every occasion declare,
81 am a Democrat" If the silver
men are in the maj )rity, accept their
position and swell The Democratic
majority. If the single standard SEN
timent prevails, accept it, be Demo-
Gratis under all circumstances. AS
Democrats we would be in favor of
selecting our conservative men, be
they farmers or professional men,
send them to our District Conventions
with the instruction that they select
the same character of men as dele
gates to our National Convention,
who will there deliberately study the
question and make platform which,
in their judgment, is for the best in
terests of the people.

In this issue of the ADVOCATE is
the announcement of Judge B. f.
Day as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Circuit Court
Judge of this district. Judge Day
has been a practicing lawyer for
twenty-five years, having begun the
practice in Menefee county. For
two terms he was chosen by the
Democracy Of that county as Judge,
which position he filled with honor
to himself and to the entire salts
faction of the county. He served
as representative of this Legisla-
tive District for one term, and in
1882 moved to this county where
he continued in the practice af law,
and has enjoyed good patronage.
He is lawyer Of ability, and is a
Democrat as true to his convictions
of right as he has ever been loyal
to his party. Should Judge Day
be selected as our nominee he will
doubtless be elected and will make
an official TO whom his constituency
will always refer with pride as
having made an honest and fearle
Judge.

Dir. NJ. S, Tyler is announced in
v6his issue as a candidate for Circuit
Judge of this Judicial District.
Mat Tyler needs no introduction
10 this people. The whole of his
manhood has been spent in our

fora clean, honest, upright gentle
man. He is a fine lawyer, having
won for himself an enyiable posi-

moral stamina enough to do what
is right and just, though the

Mat Tyler. He has moral convic-

Elis superior on the bench. We
most cordially and confidently com
.mend him to the people of the Dis
trict.
