The Express announces with some
flourish that Colonel CRAWFORD has
telegraphed Senator LAME that he
can operate the Santa Monica road
under the ARCHER bill and make
money for the owners. Colonel
CRAWFORD knows just enough about
operating railroads to telegraph this
sort of thing; LAME is just the tin
whistle to telegraph it too, and the
Express is just the kind of newspaper
to attempt to deceive the people with
it. The Santa Monica road is seventeen
miles long, and the ARCHER bill al
lows road of this length to charge
as much for hauling ton of
freight that distance as it does a longer
road for transporting the same guam
tity of freight one hundred and nifty
miles. 1t is probable Colonel CRAw-
FORD does not know this and neither
LAME nor the Erpress are fair-mind-
ed enough to explain the unjust dis
elimination.

The Evening Republican, the Adj
minlstration organ of this part of
GRANTS kingdom, says the Republi-
can party is unloading preparatory to
starting in the Presidential race. 1t
is high time that immaculate party
did unload, and it's pity her leaders
cannot be made to disgorge. We fear,
however, that if the party throws

Freeman bill was not a fair nor just
bill, neither to the people nor to the
corporations. 1t has been shown be-
yond question that the Archer bill
will reduce the rates to 80 per cent. be-
low that of the Freeman bill. The
rates were lower than the Potter bill;
now we are asked to pass the Archer
bill which is more unfair than the
Freeman bill. He concluded by stat
ing that he should vote against the
Archer bill and for the Commissioner
bill.

CORRECT VIEW.

Said a sofi-money Republican to a
Democratic critic, who thought to make
a convert By pointing ont the hard
money plank in the Cincinnati platform,
''Just so; that part OF the platform
don't snit me; but I'd rather trust the
Republican party without a platform
than the Democratic party with the
best that cou.d be wri,sent'' This is
the truth in small compass. Brilliant
promises cannot alter the character of
Democracy any more than Scriptural
quotations can hardened old sinner.
The American people care little for pro-
fessions. They want to see the practical
evidences of good character. These
they have had from the Republican
party tor the last fifteen years.

Samuel J. Tilden, the bogus reformer,
is catching it on all sides. Hispolitical
friends are calling upon him to come
out and explain the charges against
him, while he, poor fellow, looks trem-
blingIy on, and sees the vision of the
White House fading before his sight.
Tie truth is hard to rub out, and this
Mr.. Tilden knows. He has tried to
explain his connection with Tweed, and
his connection with the Democratic
Convention at Chicago, in 1864, but
the more he explains the worse it is for
him. But his income returns for 1862,
aud his answer to the Circuit Court of
New York, in 1875, have evidently
proven too much for him. In 1868 he
swore that his income for 1862 was ST.
lis; while IN 1876 he swears that in
1862 he received the fees from one
railroad company to the amount of $780,
600. Come, Samuel, rise and exp ain
this Discrepancy in your oaths of 1868
and 1876. IF you cl.eated Uncle Sam
IN the revenue line you must take .
back seat in the reform movement. The
age demands honest men, not men who
have filed their own pockets at the ex-
pense of the Government.

MOLINE POLITICS.

The rebel Democracy make frequent
use of this phrase as term of oppro-
blum in respect TO regular Republican
organization. with view of weakening
the attachment Of Republicans to their
trusted leaders, and as a means of di-
yerting Republican voters from their
party fealty. The veritable machine Of
Tammany politics, which grinds out
policies and candidates wholly without
popular consultation, is never alluded
20. Il is tile regular Republican or
ganization anywhere, which, when
Democrats are not permitted to dictate
IT'S course or control its nominations,
becomes in Democratic language, the
Republican machine. Ard it is just
that "machinen that they are afraid OF.
The regular organization of the Re-
publican party IS the power which the
Democracy has struggled in vain to
overcome it is the power which, kept
tile country united when the Democracy
essayed it's disDlcmberment it is the
power which stayed attempted Demo-
cratic surrender during the rebellion,
and the only power which has with
stood the rebel efforts to recapture the
pation since the war it is the Grand
Army which keeps step to the music OF
the Union aud marches right on to re-
newed and Overwhelming victory.
II it could only be killed by sneer,
how easy the Democratic party might
win!
