There Is always a calm after a storm.
Since the Democratic primary for
county Offices there has been quite a
political calm in this county. The
nominees have no opposition. and the
people seem to think that is all there
is to il. But they should not forget
the judicial primary on May 10th. at

Their nominations are foregoDe con-

race there is contest. and there is no
more important Office in the gift of
the people of the district, than the
Office of Attorney General. OF all the
judicial officers he has perhaps more
trials and temptations to endure. After
an indictment is obtained and the de-
PENDANT is before the court, not only is
the Judges duty plain, but, lacking
even any higher influence. he is con-

Thirty months of gnominius war
fare and oppression in South Africa
has cost England $500, 900, 900 in mon
ey, not to mention the cost of blood
and the loss of prestige. And now
the poor people will be made to bear
the burden of the enormous debt in
Cured. The new plan of taxation pro-
posed by the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer resurrects the old "corn laws"
and imposes tax of Elk cents
a hundred weight on wheat and
ten cents a hundred weight on
-four. This, of course, will make
the loaf of the common people cost
more, and the price of bread is already
higher than it ought to be. Only a
slight increase was made in the levy
on the incomes of the rich, and the
Chancellor carefully refrained from in
crossing the taxes on wine, beer and
whiskey.

. NEW DEPOT SUGGESTION.

A NEW DEPOT SUGGESTION
This Is not the Herald's suggestion.
The Herald would not weight it before
this Board by claiming the authorship.
1t has the endorsement, we are told,
of some more or less prominent on
both sides of the present proposition,
and in order to encourage the compro-
mise spirit that seems to be growing.
and believing that almost anything is
better than the present plan. we give it
to the public for their consideration.
The suggestion is to open broad
street-somewher from rs to 100 feet
wide-immediately south of the rail
road. running from High to South
Main street close High, Garden and
South Main streets; widen Eleventh
street. and build double viaduct from
a point about midway between Gar
den and High on the new street south
of the railroad. to Eleventh street. By
double viaduct we mean one with
division railing requiring vehicles to
GO to the right, so as to pervent any
accidents from blockade; and on
either side of the viaduct a sidewalk
for foot passengers, rallied off from the
driveway.
The lay of the land is such that the
approach from the south side would be
easy. To prevent the north grade
being too heavy, Eleventh street, from
Garden to High, could be graded so as
to raise it several feet at the point
where the viaduct would start
An overhead pass built broad enough
like the one spanning Broad street in
Nashville) is the least dangerous of all
railroad crossings. This one, if built, |
should be built broad like that and |
solid like that
This suggestion, if carried out with
due regard to detail, could be made
adequate to the demands of the travel
ing public and acceptable to majority
of the people. But to do that the APP
duct itself. should be built with di-
mansions sufficient for the travel not
of one street, but of three streets; and
not for ordinary. daily occasions, but
for extraordinary and exceptional occa
sions The difference between this
suggestion and the present proposed
plan being that the public safety and
convenience can be protected by the
plan proposed by this suggestion, while,
by the terms of the present PROPOSE
tion, public safety and convenience is
physical impossibility.
AS to the cost, we do not suppose the ,
viaduct would cost the railroad any .
more than the proposed underpasses ,
on South Main and High streets, and
the damage to property would certainly :,
be no more, if 80 much. We are not
familiar with the details, however,
and therefore cannot discuss them.
They are worth considering however,
as almost any solution of the difficulty :,
is better than the ordinance now be-
fore the board.
If this suggestion should be adopted :,
the grade of South High street south =
of the stock yards should be materially
and made more easy, 80 as to
invite travel from the Campbellsville
pike that way and relieve South Main =
that much; and the change Of that :.
grade would be- great improvement to
that street, and the property on it. :,
