Tho Hon. Isaac Jenklnson is of the opinion that If the name of National ATenue is changed, it should be called "Cumberland Road" instead of "National Road," as provided in the ordinance Introduced in council last Monday by Councilman McMahan. Mr. jenklnson states that the official name for this highway Is "Cumberland Road.'.' In a communication to this paper Mr. Jenklnson gives an interesting history of "Cumberland Road." He la xrtll equipped to do so, having made a careful study of all legislation connected with this road. Some time ago Mr. Jenklnson wrote a book on the abject. He states that the "Cumberland Road" legislation is among the most interesting in the history of the American congress. In the debates on this question there arose for the first time the question of state rights, which eventually precipitated the Civil War. President Jefferson opposed the building of the road on the ground that the national government had no authority to construct it, holding that the road - must be built by each state through which it passed. Mr, Jenkinson's communication follows: "In reference to the name of our great national highway, from Cumberland. Md., to the Ohio river, planned In 1803, commenced in 1806 and completed in 1824, there Is, or ought to be no controversy. In all congressional legislation it is called the 'Cumberland Road.' : "After the completion of this road to the Ohio river in 1824 further appropriations were made to extend it through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. On December 4, 1828 Oliver H. Smith of Indiana introduced a resolution In the house of representatives instructing the committee on roads to Inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill authorizing the opening of the Cumberland road, eighty-five feet wide, on Its present location, through the state of Indiana. "In all appropriations of money to build this road, the act was entitled 'an act making further appropriations for the conBtruotion of the Cumberland road And in his veto message of May 4, 1822 President Monroe styles the act he vetoed 'an act for the preservation and repair of the Cumberland road.' The legislative history of this road is one of the most interesting In the annals of congress."

EAST WILL NEVER SUPPORT BRYAN He Is Much Better Thought of Than Formerly, But Is Not Trusted. REPUBLICANS NOT WORRIED

CHAIRMAN HITCHCOCK HA8 NEVER THOUGHT OF DOUBTING WM. H. TAFTS, ELECTION GENERAL SITUATION.

New York, Seut. 26. Mr. Bryan's invasion of the east has not frightened the republican leaders. There is little or no fear of losses of electoral Totes In this part of the country. It Is admitted that the Ear t is no longer the enemy's country to Bryan. He is received with a great deal of enthusiasm and consideration, and the greater part of the old prejudice against him, the old fear that he would ruin the country if he reached the white house, has disappeared. But there is not the lightest discernible evidence that he has sained enough to give him reasonable hope of carrying an eastern state. He la not anathema, pariah, outcast, adventurer, as he was twelve years ago. He Is an American citizen of whom the entire public may be proud. But he has not won so much confidence that there Is at this time any apparent danger of his getting the electoral vote of this or any other eastern state. Since coming East Mr. Bryan has talked very freely with his friends about the gains he is making in the West. He believes the "West Is largely for him, but even at his own estimate of the "West it is Mill virtually Impossible for him to win without detaching some part of the East from the republican column, end this seems almost hopeless. Wall street is Just recovering from its scare over the possibility of Bryan's election. ; Chairman Hitchcock, the republican manager, has never been scared. He is not scared now. He is not going to get scared. He realizes, as every well-informed man must realize, that Bryan is making gains, that there are probabilities of republican looses in the West; that this year is no sure thing for the party Inpower, ; as; it was when President Roosevelt ran' four years, ago. But the fact that Bryan la making gains.
