This is the see- ond time that Eusiey has ventured in this, business since the town was voted “dry." His place was the cause of considerable disturbance when1 he was in business previous to the present opening and both officers and sup­ porters of the local option movement regret tp see this place opened. Since Ensley has taken out the Dow tax he has placed himself as running A saloon and will therefore be liable to a fine should he violate the closing aqd screen ordinances.

By late constitutional amendments it is declared policy of the state of New York to hold and maintain for­ ever, free of toll the Erie Canal, The annual expense of mainte­ nance is about $300,000, 'Capitalized at 4 per cent as a perpetual annunity, this is $20,000,000. By joint resolution of both houses, at its last session,, the legislature has made the further appropriation of $101,000,000 to complete tip work of this proposed- xe-cnlargameUt. $0,» 000,000 has been already expended on such work heretofore appropriated. It the popular vote fayepf euch fur­ ther appropriation at th<' edming gen­ eral election $11O|O0O,0( 0 will he ex­ pended thereon, and than,'if consum­ mated it will not be a ship canal, but would accomodate 1000 tons capacity, borges or boats from the lake region ports. * The annua) interest on, the re-en­ largement expenditure would be $4,* 400,000. Supposing a ,rihking fund to retire the debt in 25 years, it would amount to $179,241,960 mak­ ing amount paid in-25 years,for re-en- largement and redemption $289,241,- 960.' To which ,add perpetual an­ nuity for repairs as- aforesaid, we have the aggregate of $309,241,960 on the cost to the taxpayers of the state of New York for tl|j5 pleasure of owning and re-enlarging the Erie Canal and bolding it fregforevcr. This contemplated '. rAenlargCrnent is intended to accoramodafte boats and' barges of-1000"tons, This--would po.t be a ship canal like, the Welland but assuming that the sea port of New Yprk would be .greatly J^enefited by the re-enlargement, by .rdgsph of 1000 tonhoat8, .Coming to it,or passing it on the way, to Liverpool ,/roro the lake ports, would the people of the. Unite States receive any benefit? , The question of a ship'coital wheth­ er across the isthmus or M the 'port of New York is one'of uatt||>*F interest. The proposed isthmian '^fp'^canai ''is oue of intertiational while hi an engineering jKnnt’wvmlf If may, he regarded as a vast experiment. The construction and operation of an interstate ship canal from tide wa­ ter on the Hudson to the lake region, thence to connect with the Mississippi to the port ofNew Orleans is a propo­ sition commending itself to the na­ tion. » The solution of the Erie Canal question is one of national importance and of special importance to Ohio. The subjects' for consideration in­ volved are; 1. Interstate communication by rail. 2 . 3; A 5. GREATCENTENIAL Is An Assured Success. More About the Buildings, Monopoly in transportation. The rat» making power. Advantages of a ship canal. The true solution of the Erie Canal question. These will be considered in their order in furture numbers. . - R. Hoon.=> A STOCKMAN’S VIEW. A stockman had a sale recently and his sale bills were printed on col­ ored stock of a stift composition, A day or so previous to the saTe he had occasion to drive out on one of the principle pikes and as he went along he noticed his bills which had been put Up only about ten days previous. Out of seven only Jtwo were in reada­ ble condition. A little rain and sun shine did the Work. In relating the incident to a Herald man, the stock- man assured Usthat his next order for bills would be on water-proof stock, for in driving out this same road he found a water-proof bill that had bean exposed to the weather for nearly a year, ■ ■ If your btotid 1$ thin and im­ pure, you ire miserable all the time.

The management of the Ohio State Fair, to he held at Columbus August 31 and September 1, 2, 3, 4, are now prepared to assert to fbe people of the state, that tliey may expect to witness an exhibition that for completeness in every department and feature, has never heen equaled by any state. Ohio will do herself proud for tbie Centennial and Jubilee occasion. Exhibitors have vied with each other jn scouring exhibition space until at the present time nothing more can he accommodated. -The facilities have been greatly Increased, notwithstand­ ing which, further applications for space must now be declined, A group of seven large, fine build­ ings are required and have been' pro­ vided for the display of agricultural and horticultural products; fine mer­ chandise and house furnishings; car­ riages, buggies, automobiles and other vehicles;' hardware, stoves, furnaceB, plumbers’- goods and fancy’ furnish­ ings- ‘ ' Not far from this group of build­ ings, is the Woman’s Building, newly fitted up an equipped with large glass show cases in which to display the most costly of art* needle work, deqor- Uted china, pyrography and the hand­ iwork of women in all departments of houeshold art an Ornamentation. The art gallery is another building that will.be filled with paintings, drawings, photography, ete,, and will attract general attention. The vast machinery building and the.acres of ground that will he oc­ cupied with buzzing, whirling, click­ ing machinery will be one of the busy scenes of the fair and a grand illustra­ tion of inventive progress. The great live stock buildings are the wonder of all who have seen them. Nothing likfctbem; in style of archi- tecture or adaptability for housing and’ exhibition purposes, have ever before been attempted by: any fair or exposition. The buildings for horses, cattle, sheep and Bwine are construct­ ed of stone and brick with slate roof. In the center of feach building is a show arena and broad aisles are pro­ vided between the stalls and pens, af­ fording visitors the greatest comfort and cleanliness in passing through to view the Btock. Around and above the show, arenas are seated galleries where visitors may witness the adjudi­ cations, when animals are brought in­ to the arena. - The great horse building is 332 feet square, and has a capacity for five hundred head of horses. The other live stock buildings are in good pro­ portion and great capacity. The amusements, attractions apd special features of the fair have been selected with a view to please all and offend none. Everything educational and inspiring. “Broncjio John," the noied western scout and war hero, with his company of expert horsemen, trained horses and bucking bronchos, implements of war and vehicles of overland travel, will pitch a typical ranchman's camp and each day present a true wild west exhibition, free to all fair visitors.
