Mr. Lester wallack adapted that translation to tho

expect their approval and Endorsement. 1t Is
precisely this spirit, this tendency to pure
materialism in politics, this assumption that
the Government Treasury is a sort of grab
"bag," and the best Congressman is he who
grabs most for his constituents and himself,
that the people are rising up against. Mr..
Butler states it clearly and presents it forri-
bly,. 1t is for the Republicans in his district
to say whether he shall put the stamp OF his
own genius upon the party. And after they
have said, it will be for the party itself to ac-
cept it or not.

and the proposal to urge the reopening of Fitz-

Texas ofice-holders are in great trouble,

be 80 far involved with them that his infiu-
ence will not keep them any longer in the
positions they disgrace. If this wholesale
clearance of corrupt officials In that State is
carried out without reference to whimpering
politicians, it will reflect great credit on the
Post Office and Treasury Departments. After
Texas is purified, let us hope for Louisiana.

From Alabama dispatches come crOwding
in describing arrests by the score. In some
counties martial law prevails. "That," Sena-
tor Spencer is reported to have said. "will
" give us the State" Meanwhile our corre-
spondent, who is determined to get at the
bottom of the "sixty political murders" that
dwindled down to two, writes an interestinelet-
ter respecting the Ivey murder. Reports from
Georgia assure us that there are no such
doings there. There are none in South Caro-
lima. They have not yet got started in Loui-
siana. Where, oh! where, have the outrages
gone?
New-York tribune., 1874-10-22

Mr.. Dawes of Massachusetts eschews inde-
pendent journalism. He regards the news
napers that cannot support the Republican
party in all its performances. as, in too many
instances, the allies Of the Democracy. with
this faith strong upon him, he is reminded by
these journals of the days just before the
Rebellion, and he thinks the third term imml-
nent if Southern outrages continue. There is,
in short, a singular likeness in topic and tone
between the speech of MIR. Dawes at Boston
and the addresses delivered to the Outrage
Convention at Chattanooga.

This is season of political irregularities.
The Kings County Republicans actually
broke the slate, and nominated Gen. Catlin
for Distnct-AttorDey instead of Gen. Crooke,
who had the support of the leaders. The
Convention was rewarded with the thanks of
the nominee. and abundant promises of his
intention to promote reform. Our reports in
dicate the prospects for Republican nomina-
tions in this city, but things are yet uncertain.

WESTERN LUMBERMEN AND THE RAILROADS.
A few days ago the Pennsylvania Lumber
mems Convention threatened the railroad cor
porations of that state with a movement similar
to that of Grangerism, if they did not cease to
discriminate against them in the matter of
freghts from the West to the seaboard, and now
the northwestern lumbermen have taken the
matter up, but they propose to retaliate in
different manner Their idea is to build thsir
own roads to the pineries, and thus become in =
dependent OF the present railroad organizations
This Is sensible way Of overcoming the diff
cultes OF transportation. But it is by no means
new one. Some of the most prominent rail-
roads, and the most profitable in this country
were organized for this purpose, and have
grown into powerful corporations The unoc
cnpled and unimproved tracts of lumber in the
United States far exceed in extent that of the
coal lands, and yet the coal interest owns and
controls some of the most profitable railroads
and canal property in the United States. Tho
value OF lumberiis nearly equal to that of coal,
and Tor practical purposes has become almost
as great necessity. The power which the
lumber interest controls, to.d day, is as great or
greater than that of coal at the time when coal
was ignored as paying freight, and the coal
interests were obliged to build their own rail-
roads. This war of interests between the great
producers and the great carriers of the country
is fast approaching that point where its settle
ment will settle the question, and solve the
problem of cheap transportation, and beyond
this the question of eventually making high
ways of our railways. Under the later general
and special railroad laws individuals and cor
porations have speedy remedy, and not only
the great canal and lumber interests, but the
grain interest of the country can better be pro-
tected by protecting their own interests, than
by a continual warfare with the railroad cor
porations.-Boston Traveller.

PUBLIC SCHOoLs.-There is a measure OF
wisdom in these sentences from the Provi-
dence Press concerning the present school
system:
We think two things; first, that children
should have courses suited to their crcum-
stances and capacities, and that there should
be different school systems adapted to these
demands. As we look over the educational
field, it seems to us as if the wind had set in a
new direction, and had shifted from the lit
erary to the scientific quarter. To catch the
breeze all schools are accommodating them
selves to the new demand; as if schools were
pure competitors for the same patronage.
The great difficulty likely to be encountered
in our schools, and even in our colleges, is
from their tendency to all follow one pattern,
as if all schemes of education had one issue.
We shall not perfect our system until we
recognize that education has departments,
and that all schools of the same grade in re-
spect to age ought not to pursue the same
course. If boy is to be trained for ripe
scholarship and general culture, ne ought not
to be put at the same course as boy who, at
the age of twelve or fourteen, is to 90 into
business or trade. Our academies should
not compete with our high schools, our col
leges need not prescribe the same course for
all undergraduates.

A Voice from the West.

To the Editor ofthe Press:
The following article from the Burlington
Iowa, Gazette of October 18th, by business
man OF that place, may be acceptable to your
readers. This gentleman was here few days
in the early part of September, and was very
favorably impressed with the advantages Port
land possesses as shipping point for Western
produce. T.
To the Editor ofthe Burlington Gazette:
Permit me through your columns to speak
direct to the Grangers, as they are producers
from the soil and the motive power of COM
merce and trade.
The present policy can be greatly improved
in forwarding the surplus produce to the sea
coast. In ancient days Venice was the great
depot of the commerce of the world. Time,
by the advance of the world, has left her sea-
port with but little shipping and much less
commerce-as other ports have become more
favorable. Such is the case with our more
southeasterly ports, viz: Baltimore, Phlladel-
phia, New York and Boston. For the prod
ucts OF the great valley of the Mississippi, thu
route should be via the northeast ports: Port
land, Eastport, Montreal, Quebec, st. Johns
ana Halifax. Referring to the map of tho
western world you can easily see that tha
northeast ronte is the most direct to the Euro
pean markets. 1 find at those points last
named the Grand Trunk Railway Is altering
the gauge to receive our loaded cars from our
Oio'"toio PoIh, idIu, DutteT, CneeSe, etc., 1rOut
our warehouses;; hogs cattle, ETC., from our
pens; and carry them through as quick to the
ports first-named, in much better condition, at
less rates. and deliver the same on the immense
docks now preparing for their reception There
they can be loaded in the large stream and sail
ing vessels that can come abreast of their docks
at all seasons of the year. Then for your labor
you will be paid for avoiding the swindling op-
erations OF elevators, transhipments, drayase,
etc.
Those ports are now ready to do Justice to-
the producer and shipper and will enable the
farmer to get a remuneration for his labor
not as formerly getting return so light as to-
pay only for the seed put in the ground
Producers, reflect a moment and see tho
great gain you will have for your labor COM
pared to what Iyou had formerly. Stop your
errors in attacking the railroads of your state.
All business must live. The roads give you an
easy facility of getting pour surplus crops to
market. Your interest is their interest Let
the grand principle 'live and let live prevail
All branches of business are directly interested
in each other. Don't understand me to say
that railroads should not be reached by legisla-
tion; far from it. But our legislators should DO
men OF clear PERCEPTION, of brains, to act in
making laws to correct abuses-not such repre-
sentatives as are governed by sudden impulses.
