constructed in civilized country in
twenty years. Cheap railroads are in
Iinitely cheaper and tieeter and self

hatboats and keelboatS, and died with
them.

they do not want any more American

This is only possible when Tilden is

BECAUSE Mr.. ClaTksou N. Potter de-
clined to take advantage of a chance to
serve his own interest by acting as
chairman of the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee, the Chicago Tribune recognizes
O frank confession that he can not act
honestly where his interests are in
yoIVed. The insin uation does no credit
to journal that is usually fair in it's
treatment of public men. The laws rec
ognize the improperly of Judge sit
ting In q cause where he has direct
personal interest, and the same princi-
pie applies to q member Of Congress.
A man may not be dishonest In the
usual sense Of the term, but human ma
ture is too weak to be subjected to such
temptations as would be offered were
man made the judge or arbiter OF his
own affairs. In the consideration OF
complicated questions, the intellect
must be kept clear and the mind un-
biased if one would arrive at cor
rect conclusions. This can not BE-
where an important personal interest
10 at stake. The habit of newspaper
writer's in putting down as dishonest
every one with whom they do not hap
pen to agree is anything but creditable
to the press. The case of Mr.. Potter is
q strong illustration OF the force of this
He is gentleman OF high character, and
regarded as among. the purest of our
public men. He Is the son OF good man,
ana had the benefit OF correct training in
his youth and honorable associates as he
grew up. His neighbors Of both political
parties have always regarded him as an
honest man, and had he not been elected
to Congress his honesty, most likely,
never would have been questioned. He
agrees with the Tribune in being op-
posed to the scheme to aid the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The opposition of
both seems to proceed from the same
motlVes-selt-interest. Mr.. Potter is |
named as Chairman Of the Commit
tee which must pass upon the
matter before 1t reaches Congress, but
being personally interested in rival |
road he declines the position, and the
Tribune, chagrined at this course, ques-
tions his honesty. Let US see who the |
questionable party really is-Mr. Potter
or his accusor. Mr.. Potter had the op. |
portunity offered him of advancing his |
own pecuniary interest by having the
management Of rival road virtually in |
his own hands. He might have acted |
fairly, yet his acts would have been the
subject OF imputation. On the other
hand he avoided the opportunity of do
ing the wrong. Is there any acknowl-
edgment OF dishonesty or wrong of any
kind In praying to be lead not into temp
tation2 The case OF the Tribune stands |
thus: Chicago will not be benefited
by the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, and having received all possible
aid Of that kind is opposed to Subsidies

to the road, the Tribune Of course de-
sired to see an enemy at the head OF the
committee. 1t recognized the most
formidable enemy in the person whose
pecunary interest was against 1t, and
saw in Mr.. Potter such man, and was
anxious for him to serve that the
influence of his personal interest might

ing dishonesty on Mr.. Potter the Trib-
une makes poor case, but it presents
a pretty strong one against itself.
