rHRRAIL,WAY PROBLEM

We referred yesterday, to the letter
OF VANDERBILT, in which he took the
ground that the only permanent settle
ment of the questions arising between
competing railway companies and with
States and communities in reference TO
rates of freight, is to be obtained through
general legislation by Congress. Mr..
GARRETT, Of Baltimore, has fallen into
line with this opinion and publishes
an article setting forth the difficulties
with which railway companies have to
contend under detective management
by some companies, as well as from the
system of underwriting which strcnu-
Gus competition has stimulated.
Among the evils in railroad manage
ment ne refers To is, that many officials
interested in the Western lines,
as well rs in some of the trunk
lines, have 4 separate pecuniary
iuttres. in ears running upon
these lines, for which they obtain a GER
tain mileage, AMI which, consequently,
they desire to be kept in motion
continually. Ii business cannot bee had
at schedule rates, their personal inter
ests incite them to secure the preference
by underwriting.
Hercgarls the Wcst-bOund pool that
has been formed by the great trunk
lines, as the most successful commercial
organization that has ever been known
in America. The East-bound traffic,
from undue competition, has not been
satisfactory, and the difficulty OF reach
ing 4 common understanding is very
great. Mr.. GARRETT cites the system OF
arbitration in England, where the decis.
ions Of the arbitrators are given the
force OF law, as offering a solution for
our railroad troubles. The REAGAN
freight bill before the last Congress, he
SAYS, has some good points, but is i'm
practicable, and he gives the reasons
why il would not work well. He agrees
with Mr.. Vanderbilt that state legisla-
lures cannot treat the subject success
fully" but "that Congress might take
some action" as Mr. VANDERBILT says,
(which would both benefit the public
and protect the investors Mr.. GAR
RErr'S remedy, like that indirectly sug-
gestcd by Mr.. VANDERBILT, is to take the
problem out Of the hands Of politicians,
and under authority Of Congress, rs in
the English law, leave the regulation OF
all matters in dispute to a board OF arbi
toatorS, and hc refers 70 the recent APP
pointment, with fixed salaries, of MesSrs.
CHARLES Francis ADAMS, Jr., DAVID A.
WELLS and JONI \. WRIGHT Us furnish
ing such a commission as should meet
with general approval if they were
clothed by Congress with power to make
their decisions final and to enforce
them.

TIMELY TOPICS.

CuEsrNUrs are on deck, and man
can indulge in 4 meat diet at
ten cents quart.
Mr.. PERKINS, the Republican Cover
nor-elcct of California, wants to see
Blaine the next President, but thinks
Grant would b, elected ii nominated.
III, prefers 4 civilian, however.
DrrrxG the last fiscal year we sold to
Great Britain three times as much as
We bought of the United Kingdom.
The present year will probably make
quite as good a showing. But England
gets most of the more than hundred
millions that we pay annually for trans
portation in foreign ships.
KEARNEY says that the report that he
intended to burn Grant in effigy upon
his arrival in San Francisco originated
with the "iniernal whelps OF help OF the
Chronicle, who would say that he had
"cremated his grandmother if they
thought it would injure the cause OF the
Workingmen.'
New homegrown wheat recently de-
hvered in London is pronounced
wretchedly poor in quality. Barley is
so stained as to be unavailable for malt
ing. Similar complaints are made con-
corning nearly all other crops. The
harvest is late and small, and the pro-
duct so inferior as TO be almost unsafe
able.
Mr.. JOIN KEsSLER, a saloon keeper of
Pittsburgh, holds the ticket which was
announced in the Herald list, the other
day, as drawing the 100000 prize in
the Royal Havana lottery. Kessler at
once sent his ticket on to the New York
agents. but instead of his money, he re-
ceived telegram stating that there was
a "mistake about it. This is about as
near as we ever heard OF real, live man
drawing big prize in lottery.
KEARNEYIsN in California has had the
effect of shrinking the assessment roll OF
the State So 900, 900, and increasing the
tax in proportion. Real, honest work
ingmcn, by and by, learn to shun the
self appointed champions of their inter
estS as they would shun brigandS. If
any one Of the DENNIS kEARNEr class
ever succeed in acquiring any influence,
he never failed to use it TO the detriment
OF the cause he espoused.
THAT was a beautiful compliment to
Grant, the introduction of steam
caliopc in the reception fleet! Was
it there where Dennis kearney got his
work in?-CiTyldad PtImdeOLSr.
THEY say that after the nomination OF
Cornell at Saratoga q. W. Curtis went

AND still the business boom bounds
along. The st. Louis Globe says the
business men OF that city estate it as
their emphatic opinion that more money
has been made in st. Louis during the
past two months than during any period
in the history OF the city. There are
more strangers in the city and more
people in the streets, and even the most
prudent merchants are rash enough to
openly acknowledge that they are max
ing money" OF the situation in Phila-
delphia the North imericdn says editori-
ally that never since the Centennial has
the Quaker City been so crowded as
now. Hotels are all full to the roofs,
and travellers have been astOnished with
the reply of the clerks that no more
could be accommodated. Pedestrians
jostle each other On the sidewalks,
trucks and drays loaded with goods
block up the highways, and clerks are
kept busy until late at night settling up
the sales of the day. "These are the
outward manifestations of the new ac-
tivity in trade that has sprung up this
fall"

JAMES G.. JENKINS, OF Milwaukee, who
has been nominated for Governor of
Wisconsin to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the declinatiOn OF Alexander Mitch
ell, is a lawyer Of excellent standing and
a man of character and ability. He was
City ATTORNEY of Milwaukee four terms
in succession, on one occasion having
been chosen when all his associates on
the ticket were defeated. The feeling
in Milwaukee over his nomination is
very enthusiastic, and the more hopeful,
a dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says,
predict his election on a close vote.
Even the Republicans acknowledge the
wisdom OF the selection made by the
Democratic State Committee.-DetrOd

MUcH is being said by the Republic
cans about the fight the Democrats are
making in Ohio for the Legislature.
There would be something gained, in
deed, in national effect by the election
of EwING, but the Democrats well know
that the kernel OF the campaign is in
the Legislature and a United States SEN
ator. They can well afford to allow
FOSTER to sign pardons and appoint
Notaries Public, il they make the laws
for the State and are represented in the
National Legislature. There is a more
substantial victory in gaining these than
the governorship, but the Democracy
are after both.

THE FairmOut hds- raps the Green
hackers of that county over the kuuck-
les with reference 10 the fact, as put
by the REGISTER and eXempliied in that
county, that alliances with the Republic
cans are only consUmmated when the
latter have male terms that give them
chance To "bag the game When it
was discovered that the terms Of the al
lance ON the legislative ticket last fall in
Marion, was likely TO result in favor Of
the Grcenbackers, the Republicans sud
denly became sick of it and began to
snub and abuse their co-cOnsPirators.
As result, the KjdcS says:
We are confident that many members
Of the Greenback party IN this county
will never again affiliate with the'Re-
puhhcans. The campaign OF last fall
fully convinced them that the Republic
can party has no interest in their organ
izatiOn; they are bitterly opposed 10 the
doctrines they teach, and only unite
with them with a view 10 their own
political advancement. IL will be re
mpmbered that last fall when two
Greenbackers were elected 10 the House
of Delegates the Republicans claimed a
great victory for themselves. The ques-
lion always has been and still re-
mains narrowed down 10 a choice be-
tween Democratic and Republican SUI
premacy.

~ exchange has hunted mp the tis-
urrS for several years To- demonstrate
the effect Of the Maine election on that
of Ohio. Of which the Republicans are
wont to boast:
In October, 1873, Ohio went Demo
cratic for Governor for the first time in
twenty wears, electing Governor ALLEN
by Nl7 majority. In September Of that
year Maine went Republican by 2,S5S
majority.
I'm september, 1877, Maine went Re
publican by lI.3l7 majority. Ohio a
month later in October went Democrat
ic by $50.
I'm september, 1879 the Republicans
failed Ia elect their Governor in Maine
bv 500 votes They lacked that much
OF majority. This ought TO Indicate 4
Democratic majority Of $1,000 judging
bv 1873 and 1877. But We don't think
II does. Ohio generally votes as it
p.caSrs without regard TO other States.

Legally Just.

An English couple have recently
been sentenced to matrimony in rather
a curious way. A young man and a
young woman were cOntesting posses.
sion OF a piece OF property, the one
claiming under an old lease, the other
under an old will. "It just strikes
me-" said the justice, "that there is a
pleasant and easy way to terminate
this lawsuit. The plaintiff appears to
be respectable young man, and this a
very nice woman. (Laughter) They
can both get married and live happily
on the farm. If they go on with law
proceedings it will be all frittered away
between the lawyers, who, | am sure,
are not ungallant enough to wish the
marriage not to come off," The lady
blushed and the young man stamered
they "liked each other little bit," SO
a verdict was entered for the plaintiff
on condition of his promise to marry
the defendent within two months, a
stay of execution being put to the ver-
dict till the marriage ceremony should
be completed. About the first match
ever made in court of law.
