from all points and most centrally
situated. That such a move is on
the slate is pretty certain, and that
making Hennessey the base of oper-

is the case, this people will scarcely

31cShea on Trial.
The trial of Postmaster McShea
commenced before .) udge 11. It.
Gaskill Tuesday at 1 o'cIock p. m.
The commencement of the trial was
largely attended and everybody
present listened as attentively as
possible unfit they were tired out.
Court convened that night until 11
o'clock p. m. ami the following day
when they adjourned until today.
The anxiety among the people is as
great as at the commencement of
the trouble, to know just w hat will
be done with him. The evidence
given in is about all alike and the
witnesses were all excluded from
the room while one is testifying and
warned by the Judge not to say
anything to each other about what
they have sworn.
The trial is still going on and will
probably last all day tomorrow.
No one knows just what the verdict
will be, but when it is given, no
matter how, it will not meet the
approval of every one. It is a case
that everybody is very much inter-
ested, but at this time things have
quieted down.

A few days ago Chief Justice
Brown of the supreme co.irt of the
United States, delivered an address
at Yale College, in which he re-
ferred to perils that beset our gov-
ernment. The following from his
address will no doubt be classed as
anarchial by some of the great
newspapers, but it is unquestionably
true:
"I have watched the rapid evo-
lution of social democracy in Eng-
land. 1 have studied autocracy in
Russia and theocracy in Itome, and

Geo. Smith, a colored gentleman

us in the best sample of field corn
up to Tuesday. It is twelve feet
tall and is as "large around in pro-

but it will yield him a handsome
crop of corn. Mr. Smith believes
in attending his farm' properly and

abject submission to a more soul-

they are lace to face with the omni-
potent power of corporations.
"Granting this to be overdrawn
for I am unwilling to believe that
corporations are solely responsible
for our municipal misgovernmcnt,
the fact remains that bribery and
corruption are so universal as to
threaten the very structure of so-
ciety. Indeed, we are being slowly
driven to the conclusion that the
best-governed city in the country,
I had almost said the only well-
governed large city, is administered
upon principles which amount to a
complete negation of the whole
Democratic system. The misgov-
ernment of which I have spoKen is

it or expect that it will cure itself.

J. A. Ream, living six miles
south-west of town, brought us in
a sample of his field corn Wednes-
day. It measured eleven leet and
seven inches tall. He has about
fifteen acres ol that kind of corn,
wlucli is the best we have oil exhi-
bition up to this date for this year.
Win. McDowell brought us in a
sample of field corn I uesday that
knocks them all out up to date. It
is this kind that you have to take a
step-ladder to husk it. 1 Ie has forty
acres and if it yields as well as it
looks, he will have 00 bushels to
the acre.
W. W. Hastie, from Paris, O.
T., brought us in a nice lot of roast-
ing ears out of his field of corn ol
GO acres. W. W. says he will have
more corn than he knows what to do
with. He says he will have at
lea°t 10 bushels to the acre.
