The Pittsburg Commercial thinks
that the transportation question has
already risen to be one of the first
Importance, and that it is destined
to become the overshadowing qucs-
ton in Congress and among the
people. A western Democrat who
has ever held to views opposed to
the exercise of extraordinary pow
crs by the General Government,
said to us the other day: "This doe
trine must be given up, for it is ev-
ident now that nothing short of the
patcrnal policy will answer in this
matter. In consequence of high
fret ghts our best lands have become
valueless, for grain is not worth
raising and | am not certain that
my stock will bring the value Of
that which | am feeding them. The
subject is i'll everybody's mouth; it
is talked about everywhere, not by
the farmers only, but by all classes;
for not only every bushel of grain,
but every pound of groceries and
every yard Of cloth-indeed what
ever is produced or consumed is
equally interested in the question:
You cannot prevent it becoming the
great living issue, and it is fact
not few OF the leading men in the
West are aware Of this, and are al
ready abreast of the times"
Public men and journals are
gravcly discussing the right of
Congress under the constitution to
extend the protection and relief from
railroad oppression demanded by
the people. And yet few will have
the hardihood to maintain that if
the wrong finds a refuge in the con
stitution it must therefore be per-
petuatcd. The western Democrat
above quoted was clearly right
when he suggested the exercise of
the "paternal policy" when other
methods have failed to protect the
people from the grasping clutch of
moncycd monopolies.

Hanging, from the Fanatical Stand.
point.

A communication from Fairbank
in this weeks Conservative contains
q peculiar, not to say unique phase
of the discussion Of the capital pun
ishment question. The writer is a
most enthusiastic advocate of the
gallows as "divinely ordained
institution, and calls upon every
Christian in Iowa as s'his first and
only business" to rally for the right
ing of the "dreadful wrong," the
abolition of hanging. In this work
they are admonished not to heed
the considerations of expcdiency,
public morals and the prevention of
crime, for these the writer AYERS,
are devices of Satan" eff" says
he, "with hanging law in this
State we had ten thousand murders
year, and with hanging abolished
we had none, still it is the duty of
christians to demand its restoration,
for our business is to obey, we have
nothing to do with results The
writer freely admits, and deprecates
the efforts of the friends of the gal
lows "to mislead the public mind in
regard to the comparative number
of murders in this State this year
and last" He goes on to say that
they have located the Evans MUIR
ders which occurred in Northwood,
N. H., in Worth county, Iowa, and
one committed in Harrison county,
Mo-, they have placed in Harrison
county, Iowa, and that they have
manufactured" one murder for
OBrien county and one for Potta-
wattamie county, besides several
others in different parts Of the State.
He declares that, deducting these
misplaced and fictitious homicides,
the number for the past year is
smaller than the yearly average for
the past four years. The next sen
tence is as follows: 81 regret this,
for it furnishes the unbelievcrs with
an argument which they are not
slow to use" The plain inference
from the above, taken in the conncc-
ton in which it is placed, is that
the correspondent of the Conserro-
tice regrets that the murderous spir-
it has declined in Iowa, and yet we
can hardly believe that any mans
fanaticism will carry him so far as
to wish to sacrifice every good re-
suit, every abatement Of human
crime and misery, if it initiates
against his bloodthirsty theology.
The sentiment is worthy of a saw
age, and We prefer to believe that
the writer in the Conservative has
not clearly expressed his meaning.
The epistlc closes with the follow
ing paragraph, which has strong
flavor of "Holy Willie" about it.
The neighbors Of this "unco guild"
apostle Of strangulation will hardly
appreciate the compliment he pays
them:
"Excuse this much of the theolo-
gy, but l live iu the midst of a loose
and infdel community and l must
bear my testimony to the truth"
The communication of which we
have thus given the salient points,
affords fair illustration of the
"high moral" argument for the gal
lows, carried out to its legitimate
conclusions. We cannot but think
that its spirit is as far removed
from true Christiansty and Christ
ian philanthrophy as light is from
darkness.

A Washington paper tells the following:
I" good story is in circulation at the eN-
penses of our able friend, Speaker Blame.
Old Job Saldkell, colored man, has
been in the withdrawing business since
the days of Washington. He is a lively
old darkey, and he dropped IN to say dat
some dem fellers fooled him like the debble.'
And it seems that some wags, soon after
MIR. Speaker Blaine had made his dramatic
demand for an investigating committee,
told old Job, always IN search of work,
that Mr.. Speaker Blaine had the biggist
sort of o lob of withdrawing on hand,
and he-J. S. had better see him. Duly
armed with bucket and brush, the old man
took pull at the bell of the Speakers pa
latal residence, and, on being answered,
said, Il wants to see the Speakah.'
He was shown into the library, where
parliamentary law and gavel relaxed in
gown and slippers.
"Well, my man, what's wanted?o
81 heard, sab, dat you had mighty big
Job oh white-washin' on hand, an | jes
