Mr.. HART, owner of five shares of stock
in the Washington and Georgetown Rail
way Company, we are informed, thinks it
very hard that those citizens of the District
who own the stock by the hundreds of
shares will not vote him back into the con-
troll of the property. He sees that the
affairs of the company have been recu-
perated, and that the enterprise is again on
its feet, and with good tracks and rolling
stock is making money with prospect of
continuing TO be financial success for
some years if the present management is
maintained, go he wants ''Shance to max
vun leetel shent per shents on him vile he
is phat." He means that he wishes to
bleed the company again until it is unable
to stand on its own merits. He wishes to
apply to its management the tactics of his
old friend and associate Boss Tweed"
He will settle inflated bills in the name of
the company and then pocket the amount
between their face and "honest money"
He will not do for this latitude.

SOME of our contemporaries have notified
the railway corporations of the country that
their books are to be examined soon to as
certain whether these companies have made
true reports of the amount Of taxable earn
ings in the past. If they have not and re-
fuse 10 settle they are to be prosecuted for
the 'tshorts" and the so per cent penalties
additional. 1t isvery kind, to say the least,
in the Treasury officials to give this notice
through the press so that railway officials
may hasten to prepare for the reception of
the examiners by doctoring their old books
or hiding them altogether. Does any one
suppose that companies who would make
false reports for the purpose of cheating
the revenue in the first instance would hesi-
tate one moment to alter or destroy records
in order to save detection and punishment?
1t is about time that such leakage Of infor-
nation should cease. Those officials who
impart such information to the press in
order 10 protect corporations in frauds
upon the revenue should at once give place
to others who will deem it their first duty
to protect the Treasury Of the people in

must be solved now, at the very threshold
of our entrance upon the second century OF

archy succeeds in diffusing itself into the
whole Democratic mass, and that mass OBJ
tains control of the Government, then the
experience of our first century is wasted,

failure. On one side is Democracy and

We HOPE to see some of the vacancies in

Alabama, is the equal of any man in the

which even his political enemies of the
South have never dared to attack or ques-
tion. His promotion to a high position
would strengthen and encourage Republi-
cans in the South, and would insure the
electoral vote of Alabama for the cause of
"equal and exact justice" in the next
