The Ecening Post, Of this city, EaYsthat
inasmuch as s8 The bolters elected a lot oi
scoundrels to Office last fall, who have fllel
the public mind with disgust, therefore il
nominates one of them (Hon. Charles
Hitchcock) for the office Of Judge of the
Supreme Court, in order to insure and per
petuate purity Oh the bench.
The Post is wise, If not logical, in RON
mating MIR. Hitchcock for this position, md
it is entirely correct in saying that Mr..
Hitchcock's "dignity and fairness as pre-
siding officer of the Constitutional Conven.
ton, and the wellmarked Judicial qualities
of his mind, together with his high personal
character and lack of political ambition,
probably make him the most acceptable
nominee that Will be placed in the field"
Mr.. Hitchcock allowed himself to be
elected member of the convention, and
subsequently President Of that body, at
much sacrifice of his pecuniary interests
and personal tastes and comfort We pre-
sumo that nobody can remember the time
when he was candidate for anything e1-
cept for the rewards of an honorable pro-
fession and useful citizenship. He dis
charged the duties of presiding officer of
the convention with such impartinlity, de-
corum, and intelligence TINT if that body
should need TO elect another President, he
would undoubtedly receive the vote of every
There is no man in the State
better qualified to add strength and char
acter to the Supreme Bench than he. We

-Nox, -1-there ia anything a1iomatic in
business, it is that that business is most
profitable of which the most perfect monop-
oily can be secured, and that that Is least
profitable which is liable to the greatest
competition. On this axiom, the traffic
which road develops On its own route,
being the only trade of which it can have a
monopoly, must be, in the long run, themost
profitable: and its through traffic, being
always that which has its choice of several
routes, must, In the long run, be the least

Some of the effects Of these railroad re-
ductions on producers in. all parts Of the
country, have been very disastrous, but We
do not think they are likely to be CURED by
legislation. The remedy, if there be one,
must be found in a higher grade of intel
Igence than is common1y exercised in rail
way management-in that sagacity which
looks to large and permanent future re-
turns in the building up of local traffic,
rather than in the immediate aud trunsitoy
profits obtained from. through heights at
the expense of local business.
