TIE NIKrRoPoI.ITAN ROAD.

On the excursion trip over the Metropol-
tau branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, few days ago, Mr.. Kcyscr, one OF the
vice presidents Of the company speaking for
the management Of the road, assured the
representative gentlemen Of this city who
formed the party that the Baltimore and
Ohio company desired to cultivate friendly
and close relations with the citizens Of Wash
iugton, and to help develop the trade and in
dustry Of the city in the future. We are Ger
tain that oil Of our citizens will be only too
glad to meet Mr.. Garrett more than half way,
and 10 aid him In carrying out what he thus
declares to be his policy. They are, we are
assured, willing to forget and forgive the
past, and with him to take q new departure
In the direction he himself proposes. But II
lies with him entirely TO demonstrate by his
works the faith that he says Is In him. Tn,
completion Of the road In question Is great
step toward that end, and Is properly appre-
ciatcd by the whole community. 1t opens
up a new section of country, which,
unless Mr.. Garrett shall prevent 1t b!
cxorbltant and discriminating freight and
passenger rates, cannot but pour Its wealth
into our markets and swell the volume Of ouI
trade and industry. The road Is splendidly
built, but II will profit Washington very littlt
unless II shall be mansged far different,
from the manner In which the Washington
branch has been managed. Mr.. Garret
promises that 1t will. II he shall only keel
that promise he will nnd our citizens read.
10 cooperate with him In every way, and tC
conccde him every Just and reasonable privi
lcpc.

WHY DID he DO rte

, And now comes Representative Sloss, OF
extra pay where 1t will do the most good
among the poor Of his district" We arc
sorry that the Major has made this blundcr.
II the money in his opinion was improperly,
Illegally, or injudiciOusly drawn from the
Treasury, IL should have been returned 10 the
Government. But the Major is man who
believes In getting all he can out Of the Gen
cral Government for the benefit Of Ills con-
stituents. He Is not alone In this belief, for
II Is entertained by the overwhelming major
ity Of the members Of the House. In other
words, the first object Of your Representative
is to bleed Uncle Sam for the benefit Of his
district. Railroad grants, tariff acts and sub
sidIcs Of oil kinds are based upon this desire.
The strength Of the member possibly resides
in his efficiency to accomplish II, and his re-
election may depend upon his success In that
direction. This is not a novel fact; but the
application Of the principle-i such 1t can be
called-on which IL Is based TO such trining
matter as 81, 500 is certainly new; 80 new thai
II sayors Of demagogy when compared
with the selfish labors OF Major Sloss' old
personal friend, Stephen A. Douglas, in Sc
curing the passage of the Illinois Contra
land grant. But II embOdies one OF the threat
cued dangers to our system Of government
1t Is the aggregation Of representative selfish
ness struggling against the general interest,"
of the nation ut large. sloss' distribution o
money In his district was no less a bribc
though comparatively Insignificant In value
than Douglas distribution Of oppol tunitie
for land-grab speculatlons In his State. II,
voted for the increase conscientiously, NJ
doubt, and had right to do as he please'
with the money when II came into his hands
but VIC submit that the wiser and more states
manlike course would have been to use II IL
some other way. The donation looks bad oI
the face Of IL, and suggests some unploasan
thoughts regarding the amcnability Of thos
who receive 1t to impulsiye or improper In
nuences. Mr.. Sloss services are certainl,
worth all that he will receive for them S,
long as he remains In Congress, and II he i
rich enough to give his pay away indiscrim

THE CAPITAL MOVERS AGAIN AT
WORK.

The people of the Mississippi valley arc
fast becoming as consequential as the resi-
dents of "the Hub" The success Of the
great grain trade, the traffic GU the great
river, the rising power Of interests which
centre towards our middle valley In opposl-
ton TO those Of the ocean coasts, and the
proud record Of that section during the war
have combined to elevate them In their own
opinions to such an altitude Of comma nding
Importance that they now attempt to dictate
terms for the rest Of the nation. OF course
81. Louis Is the central point Of interest, and
iu u commercial and political way she has
become almost as arrogant as Boston il In a
literary way. Tho one assumes leadership
In the solid interests on which the success OF
our institutions Is based, while the other as
sumcs leadership in the refinement and cult.
yation which ensures the polish aud perfec'
ton Of those interests. And 81. Louis Is very
shrewd. Covertly drawing attention TO hel
manifold attractions, she invites all Congress
to visit her, for the Ostonsible purpose Of in
Vcstigatng the needs Of the Mississippi val
ley. What are Chicago and Cincinnati doing
meanwhile :
\ bird whispers to us that Reavls will bC
present at the asseInblagc Of our solonH In
his beloved city. Ex-senator Henderson,
Hon. II. I. Blow, Major Brown, and Others
of like Importance are advertised TO do the
talking, but Rcavis will doubtless do some
also. After two days Of this kind Of recrea'
tlOu ~ an excursion on the river will occur
TO be followed on the fourth day by the be-
gin ing Of trip In the direction Of Texas
Il requires but small powers Of perception to
sec the drift Of this programme. 81. Louis
begins what the Southwest Is expected tC
inlsh. Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and otheI
Northern States cannot safely be trusted as
members Of the conspiracy, US they are too
intimately connected with Chicago. The
came may be said OF localities tributary to
Cincinnati. But the great Southwest is loyal
to 81. Louis, and the end will be another In
Sane effort 10 remove the capital.
Now let Chicago, Cincinnati and other am
bilious cities wake up the pnrport OF this
scheme. II we are 20 have another fight over
he capital this summer, let Il he a lively one,

THE DIsTRICT sAIARIBs.

The comptroller has asked from inc LesS
lature appropriations amounting TO ABOUT
half a million Of dollars TO pay the perma- |
neut salary list Of the District officers for the
next fiscal year. II needs no argument TO
convince any one that this sum is far more
than the income Of the government will war
rant. and that II Is absolutely necessary to
reduce Il to more economical proportions.
In the beginning large force Of officials was
necessary In order TO get the new government
propcrly under way; but now that the ma
chlncry Is In complete running order, that
the labor Incident TO the now departure Is at
au end, reduction can, In our opinion, be
effected without In any way impairing the
efficiency Of any branch Of the government.
Il will be rccollectpd that the Governor In
his last message dc q recommendation to
this ofIcct and that Mr.. Thompson intro
duccd q bill In the Council few days ago upon
the same subject So far as Mr.. Thompson's
bill Is concerned We have no hesitation In
saving that 1t should not be passed without
considerable amendment II Is crude aud
ill-dIgested The compensation allowed
many Of tho officers Is ridiculously low, and
is only q premium upon dishonesty. The
government should pay It's officers living
salaries, which Mr.. Thompson's bill does
not propose to do. II should pay good
salaries to good men, and thcn we car
get along with much less force and hay,
an honest and capable administration. Wha
Ia needed, and what It Is to be hoped som'
member Of the Legislature will have the in
tclligence aud the courage to propose, is
reorganization Of the entire serico-som
woll-ma.urcd plan which will consolidate bu
rcaus and departments and dispense with use
less officers. That Ia what the people wan
and expect This scrcwing and plnchln
business Is the most foolish aud cxpcnsiy
kind Of rctrcnchmcnt. An intelligent II
trenchmcut is the most important duty ths
