Is believedto be too low, for along most of
Its line the passenger traffic will not war
rant 1t, and will show such q falling off
in travel that it will be necessary TO put 1t
back to the present rates which are too high.
The New York Central railroad can carry
passengers at two cents mile while other
roads will lose money at three cents. The
trial of reduction of the rate at this peifs
cd of the year will only serve to make the
showing worse in reducing rates. Rail
roads should have rcmunerativc rates for
both freight and passengers and that nat
ter should be considered to ascertain what
rates will call out the most business and
leave the largest margin between gross
earnings and cost of operating the road.
That this should be perfectly adjusted and

tiles in general with points that are more

RAILROAD CoMmIssIONEn.

Rutland was visited, Thursday, with a
slight disturbance, in the nature of an in
significant railroad imbroglio. We do not
care to stop and enquire who is right Or
who is wrong in the matter, because it is
Of no particular consequence to the general
public The whole matter was involved in
the passage of the locomotives of the Rens-
selaer and Saratoga railroad company over
some four rods of track belonging to, or
placed on lands owned by, the Harlem Ex-
tension railroad company. The use of this
track is nothing new, and it was a cOnven-
fence for the first named corporation to
enable them to reach wood, water, etc.
Whoever is right or wrong, the public
ought not to he compelled to suffer, and
such state of affairs ought not to be al
lowed to remain twenty hours. Most
of the railroad charters granted by the leg
islature of Vermont, contain clause pro-
viding that they can cross or use the road
bed or track of another, and that theirs
can be used in like manner, upon terms to
be agreed upon and if not agreed upon,
then the courts, upon proper application,
are to fix reasonable terms therefor.
Whether these provisions extend to the
Harlem Extension railroad company Or not,
we cannot say. If they do, the remedy
would not be timely, complete or ade-
quate. One thing is certain ; these rail
road charters are all subject to amendment,
and come within theprovisions of any gen.
eral railroad law that has been, or may be,
passed. The affair is small one, but
similar instances, upon larger scale, and
with more disagreeable, if not disastrous
consequences to the public may occur and
should be provided for. Let our legisla-
ture at once repeal the ridiculous law un-
der which railroad commissioner does
nothing. In its stead, give us a commits
sioner, who would honor the state, and
clothe him with authority to rectify
wrongs, protect the people, prevent cor
porations from encroaching upon the
rights of the people or each other Let
him be something more than an effigy, but
select him because he is man who under
stands his business, understands railroads
and their workings, has no ''entangling al
liances," and has sufficient ability to sug-
gest necessary legislation. Such a com.
missioner would do some good, and his re.
port would be instructive and interesting,
and not mess of nonsense in the shape
of half filled up tables.

want Of that exercise in these latter years,
that has made the difference between us

A lesson from ana for the T,mcs.

With the tenderest possible feeling for
wearers of bonnets. whether first best or
second best, we tell them that they are
mainly, although not entirely, responsible
for this tendency toward excessive cxpend-
iture, and they consequently can do most
to check it, Dress, which they first think
of, is not the only, or even the most impOr-
tant item in the extravaganza in question.
Yet no observant person can have failed to
see how vastly greater in all conditions of
life the cost of dress is among women, who
live mostly indoors, than among men, who
must go out daily and in all weathers and
this excess, therefore, is not in what is ne
cessary. But American women want the
best for their children, for their homes,
nay, sometimes Though very seldom for
their husbands. This is but IA morbid ac-
ton of a healthy instinct-that which be-
longs to motherhood. But with us il takes
runOus turn. American families, the
head of which has an income that in any
ether country would Gin proportion to the
value of money! be regarded as making the
utmost economy of means imperative, live
icIc upon lne Dest anu III tne most eNpen-
slye way. The best that the market affords
is not two good for them, and an intimation
that that which is wholesome and COM
Portable although not the costiest, would
better become their means, and conduce in
the end more to their real happiness, would
be sure to be resented by mdterJdmilidS if
not by pdter And now is good time to
stop all this, and to turn over that new leaf
of which we all have heard so much, but
of which so few of us ever see the other
side. There never was more favorable
opportunity for us to find out that it is not
necessary for our comfort that we smoke
he best cigars. or eat always sirloin and
chicken, or keep as many servants as Mr..
irundy does never so good chance for
seeing how easy it really is to do without
he first best bonnet. And the teachers and
prime helpers in all this must be the wives
md mothers.-N. Y. Times

Sir samuel BnRer, the African En-

knew. the most harm. They did this wit
tingly and knowingly, for the purpose of
obtaining few petty state and county
offices. We do not pretend to say that any
injury was occasioned to the laws, legisla-
ton or institutions of Vermont by its one
years barren coalition rule. We know
not that Massachusetts, suffered any detri.
ment from her coalition, but we do know
that the country has been benefited there

The result was attained by an abandon
ment of principle and a sacrifice of honor.
The cohesive power of Office alone had any
part or lot in the matter. We have
said good resulted therefrom, but was it
any more than putting Sumner in the Sen
ate two or three years earlier than would
have, otherwise, been done ? Three years
thereafter the republican party was in
force, fully organized, with Sumner in the
front ranks. and his time would then have
surely come. But this makes no difference.
1t is never right to do wrong that good may
come of it, or because good does como of
it. A sacrifice of principles, honestly en-
tertained, is no more honest in politics than
in the ordinary transactions of life. Where
in is the difference, in morals, between
placing one, opposed to you in politics, in
nomination for a particular Office and vot-
ing for HIM, that he and his friends may
choice, and buying the votes of the same
man and his political friends with money ?
The votes are bought and sold as much in
one case as in the other. This is not a
question of whose OK is gored. A coalition
between republicans and Apollo Hall is
just as honest, and no more or no less so,
than one between republicans and Tam
many, or between Tammany and Apollo.

enter into local affairs. but local offices
should be distributed without regard there

COALITIONS.

Coalitions between opposing political
parties have been unquestionably produc-
tive of much good to the country, but
they cannot be defended upon any ideas of
principle, or be participated in with any
degree of honor We do not refer, of
course, to those unions, which may be,
strictly speaking, called coalitions,
which are founded upon real principle.
Such coalition was the union of wings.
free-soilers and abolitionists, IN 1854 and
which soon ceased TO be coalition, but
became compact, single party. Neither
can the coalitions formed between the hon
est republicans and democrats in the city,
and some parts of the state, of New York,
in 1871 and 1872, come under the class first
referred to ; because it, like the other, was
founded upon principle. The parties COM
posing it differed widely upon national
questions, and it was formed for a tempo
rary purpose. That purpose-the throwing
off of the calling yoke of corrupt Tam
many-lfted ii out of the ordinary run of
coalitions and ennobled l., as few political
movements in this country were ever en-
nobled. We refer rather to that shameless
coalition in Vermont, in 1853, between the
n-pure-natiOnal-p ro-slavery democrats
and the equally simon pure sectional-be-
cause it was sectional then although, thank
God, it Is national ow-abolitOnists.
which resulted in an election clearly demon
strating the irresistible force of the cohe
s've power of public plumber and Office
seeking, and the little worth or attraction
of professed political principle. Of the
same kind was the coalition in Massachu-
sets, in 1850 and 1851, which sent Robert
Rantoul--who died too early for his coun-
try's gOod-and Charles Sumner to the
Senate of the United States. Rantoul, to
be sure, was not known to be the tru G. ster-
ling man he soon proved himself to be, and
therefore, the democrats could vote for him
without violation of principle, but how
with the aboltionsts !? 1t turned out that
the abolitionists couldn't have voted for a
better man if they had tried, but they did
1t unwittingly and at the expense of a COM
plete abandonment of principle, because
they believed HIM to be northernl dough-
face and pro-slavery democrat.
When, however, the democrats of Mas
sachusetts named Charles Sumner as their
choice for Senator, they stultifed them
selves, violated every principle they pro-
fessed, and went back on their party. That
arch-demagogue, Benjamin F. Butler, then
most intense for his love for southern men
and Institutions, and most bitter in his de-
nunciation of northern statesmen, who
would not be the tools of the southern
"chiyalry," and of every measure looking
to the restrictions of slavery's further extern
sion, was a prime mover and chief actor
in that bargain and sale-although he was
not then member of the legislature and
urged the vote for Sumner with the same
readiness that, ten years, or so, later he
voted for jeff Days. Charles Sumner was
the bitterest foe to these men that there
was in Massachusetts, yet they sent him to
