Hon. J. Wheeler Campbell, Of Pa.
duoah. will represent shis district in
the state senate, as the Democrats
nave nominated him, and there has
never yet been . Republican senator
from the district We do not like MIR
Osmpbell's politics, but personally he
is . bright, brainy, ambitious young
man considered by may the most
brilliant young lawyer in Southwest
KENTUCKY. He is forceful speaker,
q thinker. and with the ability, tact
and good Judgment he possesses Will
no doubt make his mark in the state
senate. and some day go TO congress
from this district, unless it becomes
Republican in the meantime. Mr..
Campbell is Paducah boy, and since

And mark the prediction. II the First

RAILROADS AND TUE CANAL.

RAILROADS AND TUE CANAL.
Senator Morgan. the deposed chair.
man of the interoceanio canal commit
tee, has introduced in the senate res
olution empowering and in,tructing
the committee to investigate what
part the trsnscontinental railroads
have played in the canal matter. It
is rather hard to understand what diff.
erence it makes what part the railroads
have played. or what business it is of
the canal committee or congress what
part they have played. II the canal
would interfere with railroad inter
ests. the railroads affected, whether
right or wrong, are probably opposed
to it, and have worked, or will work
against any canal legislation that may
be proposed. or any canal that NAV be
undertaken And if they have, what

poet of railroads.? What do they ex-
pect the railroads to do in a matter
that the railroads regard as inimicsl
to their own interests? The railroads
ara run principally for the benefit of
the men whose money ana brains built
them. We have congress to run the
country as il sees tit. and boards OF
direol ors and officials to run the rail-
roans. The railroads find that every
body is trying 10 gouge them from the
tim they try to eet property enough
TO build their roadbeds until they es-
tablish the fastest and best service pos

everything. have hundreds and thous

ing against them for every conceivable
thing, many of them black mailing
schemes of the worst sort and il is
probably not very remarkable that
with every body working against the
railr a interests. the RAILROADS find il
neo sssry 20 work for the mselyes. But
togo back TO the orig nal point, what
does Senator Morgan expect TO gain by
finding out what parI ths railroaus

DOUBLE SURPLUS SEEMS
IN PROSPECT THIS YEAR
September Receipts Prevent Quarterly
Deficit.

The Treasury statement issued Sep
TENDER 80 shows that In the first three
months of this fiscal year the surplus
OF receipts OF the Government over ex-
penditures amounted to IS, ,33s.02. At
the same rate. the surplus for the year
would exceed S21. OOO, 900, and would be
considerably more than double the sur
plus OF last year.
The present excess OF receipts is due
to the excellent showing made in Sep
TENDER. In the first two months of the
fiscal year there was an excess of ex-
penditures over receipts, but In Sep
TENDER the receipts ran ahead of ex-
penditures in the sum of 6,499, 1852.
