Whether the "grangers'' Of ithe west succee d
in all their undertakings or not, there Is no
question but railroad rates need overhauling
and arrangement on . basis of common sense.
At present goods can be shipped by all rail
from New York 20 Chicago via the New York
Central lie Through Buffalo, and back to
Buffalo by propeller, at less rate Of freight
than they can be shipped from New York to
Buffalo direct by the same road. Now, either
the local rates from New York to Buffalo are
simply extortionste in themselves, or else those
from New York to Chicago are so low that peo-
pie living at intermediate points have to be
taxed excessively to make good the loss on that
business In either case 1t is clear that radi-
cal reform is needed.

The Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial telegraphs to that paper the
important intelligence that work has stopped on
the new residence of Senator Stewart in this
city, because as he says, the weekly bills of the
workmen have not been paid. Whether or not
there Is any truth In the report We do not know
and We presume the public will not care; but il
it is the part of progressive independent jour
naiism to thus NEEDLE in and parade in their
columns the private affairs of public men, the
sooner We get back to the old-fashioned partisan
way Of doing things the better.

They are still keeping up the row in New
York about the imprisonment in Brooklyn of
Shanks, he Of the Tribune. Now, 1t seems to US
the most natural and proper thing in the world
to send man named Shanks to jail; and we
should think q man named Shanks would look
upon incarceration from the gaze of the world
As sweet boon. But this Shanks didn't ahence
all the fuss. The verdict Of posterity, however,
must be that the Brooklyn Judge was Justified.
