The Row at the Peniteptiary,

We have already noticed the fact that
Gov, Beveridge removed Col. NJ. NJ. Bane
and DR.. Theodore Cansius from the office
OF Commissioners OF the State Penitetiary.
AMI appointed W. NJ. Taylor and J. W.
" ham their successors. The removal was
officially stated to be on the ground of neg
lect Of duties. The Commissioners, about
Il month ago removed Maj. Wham, who
was then Warden. The Governor at first
asked the Commissioners for their resigna.
tons, which they declined to hand in, and
then the removal followed. This action by
the Governor drew from Commissioner
Bane the letter which we publish this
morning 1t appears that Maj Wham was
originally appointed as friend of Senator
Logan, who had formerly had him appoint
ed Paymaster, or Agent or something of
that kind, for that historical tribe known
as the Teton Sioux, 1t is only fair to
say, however, that the testimony of the
Joliet people is favorable to Wham's man
agement, and correspondent this mora
ing describes the prison as in excellent
condition. Unfortunately, there are other
leading Republican statesmen in Illinois
beside Beveridge and Logan, and, as it is
the general purpose this year, of the Re
publicans to elect if they can, Mr.. S, M.
Cullom to Congress and two years hence
to make him Governor, Gov. Beveridge
feels an anxiety lest his appointees should
forget him, Gen. Logan is, of course, a
friend of Gov Beveridge for all offices 9th
er than United States Senator, and Major
Wham, being Logan's other self the Com
missioners were interfering in the contract
between Logan and Beveridge wheG they
removed Wham as Warden. COL Bane
who has been Il number of years in the Re
publican party, seems to have forgotten
that the tenure OF all public employment is
fidelity to the personal ambition and inter
ests of the man holding the appointing
power. Ii Gen. Logan aud Gov. Bever-
idge choose to apportion between them
selves for the next ten years the big things
in official life, Col Bane should have
known that his first duty, under party law
was to aid in carrying out that arrange
ment, even if the Peniteutiary went to
ruin. What right had he to plead Chris
tian mercy and common humanity to the
prisoners when it stood in the way of the
division of the spols and might contribute
to Cullom's elevation to the Governorship,
or perhaps to the United States Senate
AS picture of the total subordination of
the discipline, management, and even fl
Dancial arrangements of the Penitentiary
to political intrigue, the letter of Col. Bane
is good reading We commend it to office
holders generally. Chicago Tribune.

HUXLEY FOR HARvARD.-We learn an Ell
fort is being made to secure the services "t
Professor Huxley, for the position SO long and
us.,uly filled by Agassiz. Whether this report
il true, or merely wellinvented. we do not
know. Undoubtedly Huxley would be an im-
mense acquisition to the country, and worth
whole wilderness full of compulsory education
laws. Ii is little humiliating to think that 1t
should be necessary to go abroad for the sue
cessor of Agassiz but after all, we had To 60
abroad for Acassz himself. If Huxley should
consent to come however. the chief danger {"
be- feared is that before he had been IN the
country week some persistent interviewer
would fabricate for him preposterous com
parison between England and America, as the
tribe invariably do under such circumstances
and thus bring down upon his innocent ana de-
voted head Achilles wrath. aud woes unnum-
hered" Huxley, Of course, is far too sensible
n man to get himself into mess ut that klnd.
but then he has had no experience OF the ways
of our professional liars for the press, aud be-
inc rather a matter. Of fact kind Of fellow might
object to take up his residence in country
where the individual, especially if he be emia-
rnt has no rights which the interviewer is
bound to respect. 1t is true that the mtelli'
pence and integrity Of the people condemn TINS
sort of false pretenses, but unfortunately the
intelligence and integrity Of the country are
not always accessible when most needed-Sac-

THE sTRuGGLE FOR WEALTH.

No one can stop in European city ar vii
lage for month and observe the laSoring clas-
ses. without noticing great difference between
their aspirations, ambitions and habits, and
those of corresponding classes in the country.
He may see great poverty in continental
town, and men aud women labOring severely
aud faring meauly. and q hopeless gap existing
between classes: he may see the poor virtually
slaves of the rich; but he will witness meas
ure of contentment and daily participation IN
humble pleasures to which bis eyes have been
strangers at home There is sad side to this
pleasant picture Much Of the apparent con-
tentment and enjoyment undoubtedly como
from the hopelessness of the struggle for any
thing better. An impossible gulf exists be-
tween them and the educated and aristocratic
classes-a gulf which they have recognized
from their birth: and. having recognized tins.
they have recognized their own limitations. and
have adapted themselves to them. Seeing just
what they can do and cannot do. they very ra-
tionallv undertake to get out Of life just what
their condition renders attainable. There Is
no far-off crOwning good for them to aim at,
SO they try to get what they can on tue way.
They make much of fete days. and social gath
erinas. and music, and do what they can to
sweet-n their daily toll. which they know must
be continued while the power to labor lasts.

The DIrrERENCE-Our Portland friends
appear very anxious just now to secure rail-
road communication with the East Meetings
have been held. speeches delivered, resolutions
passed. and addresses prepared. memorializing
the Legislature to vote a subsidy in aid Of Col
onel Chapman's railroad. Speeches and reso-
lutions are good things in their place. but as
capital with which to build railroads they are
entirely worthless. If our Portland friends
feel the necessity for this outlet so keenly We
know of nothing in the way Of their capitalists
taking hold Of their enterprise and building
the road. They. however. do not evince any
disposition of that character. Where there Is
So much talk about railroads. one certainly
would expect to find. at least. liberal sub
scrip,ion list, with the names Of the leading
men down for SO much stock. A careful ex
animation of the books Of the Dalies and Salt
Lake Railroad will disclose the fact that not
ore of the Portland capitalists has subscribed
for dollars worth of stock, and In no way
have contributed single dime in aid 0f that
enterprise 1t is all very well {" talk about
the immense resources of the country. and say
that if railroad is built it would do an im
mense business, and then sit down and expect
some generous. public spirited man To come
along and build the road. This class of capt.
.alsts. we are sorry To say. are very scarce at
the present time There are some communi.
ties, however. that have sufficient confidence in
themselves Ia accomplish the ends they aim at
Take the little town of Silver City. Idaho, for
example The business of the place had grown
until telegraph line to the railroad had be,
come necessity. Estimates were made, and
$4,000 fixed upon as the sum necessary to
build the line No meetings were held, no res
olutions were adopted, but the business men
and others interested unloosed their purse
strings, and. without any noise or blowing, the
amount was raised and the line completed,
