THrnE hss heen a running fire for a

THERE has been a running fire for long
time all along the line of the Pacific rail-
roads, discharged from blinded adversaries
against the railroad interests. The great
bug g-bear has been that the Central and
Union Pacific railroads have refused to pay
interest on the bonds issued by the United
States for the benefit of the roads, and that
they should be compelled to pay the same
On the plea that millions of dollars have
been wrongfully withheld from the Govern
ment on this account much animosity has
been aroused. 1t now turns out, however,
that there is not the least authority in the
law for exacting the collection of this in
terest until the maturity of the bonds.
Meanwhile, however, in blind haste the
people have forgotten most important fact
which has been fully developed by Mr..
Houghton in the House Committee on Pa
cific Railroads. The railroad companies
are required by the law to pay five per
cent. OF the net proceeds of their business
to the Government annually, to be applied
to the liquidation of the debt to the Gov
ernment These companies have earned
net profit thus far of about twenty million
dollars according to reports, and it is clear
that larger sum is due to the Government
which has never been demanded. The
committee has agreed 10 report bill pro-
viding for the proper demand for this five
per cent, and to enforce collection of it.
We are glad to see railroad legislation TAX
ing reasonable and practical direction to-
wards solution of the problem before the
people.

IT IS WELL KNOWN that Captain Corne-
Illus Brady, who was a steerage passenger
on board the steamer Pennsylvania during
her recent perilous voyage across the At
lantic, has libeled that vessel in the Admi-
ralty Court for salvage, he having taken
charge of her after the loss of Captain
Bradburn. Captain Brady has Just given
his testimony before the commissioner of
the court in Philadelphia, from which it
appears that after the loss of Captain Brad
burn the ship was virtually abandoned,
the remaining officers and crew being
panic stricken, and that Brady at once took
charge, at the request of the remaining
officers, mustered the crew and assumed
entire control of the vessel, with their con-
sent, and retained command until he
arrived at the port of Philadelphia in
safety. He makes clear case of salvage,
and claims his rights under admiralty laws.

POLITICAL NOTES.

6eneral Butler is to speak at the dedication
of the soldiers monument at Fitchburg, Mass,
on the 18th of June, and It is thought he will
open his campaign for the Governorshp at that
time.
1t Is accepted as sign that the Massachu-
sets Legislature will adjourn before long, now
that 1t has concluded to hold two sessions a
day. That body has not been more industri-
Gus than those of other States.
The Democratic newspapers of New Hamp-
shire are urging the justice Of redistricting the
State for State Senators and Councillors. They
charge that the Republicans have 90 arranged
them as to obtain majority in the Legislature
on q close vote throughout the State.
An Arkansas Journal cries out in despair:
"Oh, that the thirst for office were quenched,
and that the downtrodden people of Arkansas
their servants and attend to their own affairs
without dictation from would-be leaders who
think only Of themselves"
There are few of the more extreme South
ern journals which dissent from the views of
Congressman Lsmar's eulogy on Sumner, but
q great majority of them are heartily In accord
with It. The Savannah Advertiser and Repub-
sedn-prints the speech in full, and says 1t af-
fords It "pleasure to indorse every word, every
line, and every sentiment" It. The Augusta
Con.titutionalist takes the other side, and
abuses Mr.. Lamar for saying that Mississippi
regrets the death of Mr.. Sumner and honors
his memory.
The movement of the young men Of Wor-
cester for an independent political organizs-
ton meets the approval of the Boston 4dvsr-
tissr. II says "important returns are de-
manded which neither of the existing parties
now seems disposed to insist upon," and that
the young men, who care little for old iae'"rs,
can unite and make these reforms the bas OF
principle until they become the established
policy Of the nation. There is q great deal of
truth in this advice, and its speedy adoption
by the young men Of Massachusetts, and every
other State will be q long step forward toward
better period In politics.

which Maury was able to organize his
geography of the sea, could be placed upon
the charts furnished for the merchant ma
rine, there would be no difficulty In com
pelling sailing ships to oonfne themselves
to specified zones. It would thus ultimately
result that we would have a perfect knowl-
edge Of the navigable ocean. and that ves-
eel would seldom be out Of sight of some
immediate and protecting power. How, In

curity of life and property, oaa Messrs.
Conkling and Cox hope to accomplish q

THE House of Representatives Yesterday

THE House of Representatives yesterday
recommitted the Centennial appropriation
bill to the special committee on the na-
tional Centennial. This was eminently
proper We have gone too far with the
preparations for our Centennial celebration
to permit it to fail, and we believe Congress
will yet pass a bill that will guarantee the
patriotic enterprise that success which it
deserves. This much the American people
expect of Congress. Pennsylvania should
not be permitted to bear alone the expendi-
ture required to carry out celebration in
which the entire nation is intimately in
terested, the honor Of the American Gov
ernment is involved. and which was au-
thorized and dire.ved by the United States
Congress.

IHE people OF that portion OF Arkansas
who reside at Arkansas City and vicinity
are suffering terribly from the effects of the
food, In many instances the water standing
as high as four feet above the floors of the
dwellings. Our telegraphic reports pub
lished this morning narrate a terrible pic.
ture of devastation and woe among these
people. Many of the colored people are re-
ported In a particularly deplorable condi-
ton. and an urgent petition las been issued
by three hundred and fifty colored laborers
for immediate relief Governor Ames, and
other officials, Of Mississippi. are taking
steps to relieve these sufferers on their bor-
der, but the officials of the State of Arkan-
sas are so thoroughly devoted to their pro-
tracted squabble for Office that no time can
be found in which to devise means for the
relief of these starving laborers of that State.
The action of Governor Ames in coming to
the relief of these victims of flood and bad
local government is creditable to his heart
and honorable to the high Office he holds as
Governor of a neighboring State. many of

OCEAN ROUTES

We have several times called the atten-
ton of Congress to the necessity Of provid-
ing for the prescription of ocean routes to
be followed by steamers going East and
West respectively. 1t is demanded alike
in the interest of humanity and the safety
of property. 1t has been rendered practi-
cable by the efforts of scientists like Maury,
whose charts and sailing directions, COM
bined with the experience of numerous
shipmasters, from the data upon which an
intelligent and experienced commission of
practical men might easily lay down such
routes as would 60 very far toward the
prevention of collisions upon the high seas.
We are glad to see that Congress has under
consideration a bill for the purpose. 1t
provides that the President shall appoint
commissioner on the part of the United
States with fixed compensation, to meet
other commissioners of other maritime ma
tions, who shall assemble and lay down
''steam lanes;" to declare in favor of the
use of electric lights and raft accommoda-
tions in cases of accidents at sea, and that
the President shall notify the other Powers
Interested of The legislation of Congress.
The mistake of the bill, which is In charge
of Mr.. Conkling in the Senate, and Mr..
Cox, of New York, in the House Of Rep
resentatives, says the New York Herald,
lies in the fact that no one man is COM
petent, from the important nature of the
innovations proposed, TO speak at once
with intelligence and impartiality in the
name of the maritime. interests Of the
United States Perhaps Senator Conkling
is not aware that the establishment Of
Steam lanes" which really comprehend
all the other changes proposed, involves
complete revolution In ocean travel, which
must be followed with changes likewise in
the navigation of sailing ships. 1t is hardly
to be presumed that when the maritime
nations shall behold in these trackways a
successful regulation between the Eastern
and Western hemispheres, the reform will
be confined to the Atlantic ocean. We
look to the day, which can hardly be far
distant when general system Of maritime
regulations and Jurisprudence win compel
Steam lanes" over the busy highways of
the Mediterranean, from the shores of Asia
to our own Pacific coast; indeed, over
every sea now plowed by the levisthan
agents of commerce. 'Lanes" for sailing
craft may become fact Of the future also.
Now a ship without steam power,
sailing from this port for Liverpool,
with adverse winds, must utilize
