Advising Garfield.

"Uncle Dudley" in the Duluth Trib.
une, advises President-elect Garfield as
follows: .-
He must persistently recommend to
Congress the increase of the army, and
the navy, also, so that the brss-woOd chip
that reclines on our great American shout
der may not be so ruthlessly disturbed by
other nations as it has been on several oc-
casions during the past few years.
He must protect every American citizen
at home, as we'll as abroad, if he has to
build tence around him.
If there is any more trouble about the
codlive oil mines up on the Newfound-
land border, he should issue special mes
sage ordering the fish to be driven down
into Boston Bay-this would be cod on
Johnny Bull, that would make any presi-
dent famous for life, and insure his unan-
imous collection, if he never struck an
other lick
We would suggest that he make up his
cabinet entirely irrespective of opinions
of others, aoith the exception o. the hints
herein given relative to that part of his
business.
He should make his messages very short
and full Of thunder, SO that we shall be

Thy soul has stray'd from honors track,

Gerry Clough has built a new front
yard fence and treated his house to fresh

about his buildings. 1t is all owing to his

vote the Republican ticket. Secondly, all

If Galveston Has.


As we understand it, the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe road is Galveston road, built
mainly by Galveston merchants, end, what
is Of far more import nee, under the control
of Galveston merchants. If this be true,
the citizens of Galveston have solved the
knotty problem of how to make railroads
subservient to tho interests Of particular
locality, and have ignored very common
and very fatal error, namely-that a multi
plicity of roads necessarily implies prosper
ity, because a multiplicity of roads issynoni-
nous with competition and low freights. 1t
is an error which has cost cities, townships,
counties, and even states, in the north, I'M
told millions of money, 1t is'an error which
has been thousand times refutcd by events,
and an errvr which, worn bald and ragged
at the north, is repeating itself in the SOUTH
A number of railroads is no guarantee of
competitor, and, never has been in any particu-
lar instance, because railroads, rs heretofore
built, have always been dominant master of
all freight transactions, imperial in their
power, with interest al lying in the same d.
rection, aud no more willing to cut their own
throata to iniure a rival than rivals in ordi-
nary business affairs are. In all cases where
localities and capitalists have built roads
together and the capitalists held the CONTROL.
ing interest, the capitalists have remained
masters of the locality, and treated i. accord
ing the dictates OF its own interest. If Gal
weston people, in aiding the Gulf Colorado
& Santa FL, have furnished enough funds to
provide n controlling interest, they have
solved the problem Of railroad building by
localities and capitalists in copartnership.
Nearly all the railroads in the United States
are copartnership concerns, i'll which the 10
caities through which they pass have fur
nished part Of the funds and capitalists the
remainder; but in all such cases the capital
lists have furnished, or manipulated, the bulk
of the funds, got tho roads entirely in their
own hands and run them in their own inter.
est, with no more regard for the other part
ners than for strangers Galveston, as we
understand il, has reversed this. she has
furnished such bulk of the funds as to give
her tho controlling power and can run the
road in tho interest Of Galveston. If this be
so, Galveston has done u brilliant thing, and
the most rational thing done by city in the
United States in the last thirty years.

GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.
The Result In Maine
Inter-Ocean.

The reported result Of the election, IN
Nsinei,. to Republicans, more surprising than
!, /. Encouraging. The situation was unlike
hat in anv other state, and estimates were
,redicted on conditions that seem not to have
baen fairly understood by either party, The
Republicans had reason to believe that luey
would overcome the light majority OF last
wear against them, and, redeemihg Tue s'ase,
would have an unquesuonable majority 'or
governor, and at least hold their own ~ 10
sonoressulen and members OF the Legislature.
They believed they would do TINS, and me
Democrats were ready to conclude the point.
Therefore. the news on Tuesday morhlng Was
a disavreeable surprise to the Republicans
and an agreeable one TO the Democrats. IL
ia nossibi9 the former were more scared than
hurt and it is quite probable that the Demo-
nrot9 ware more exultant than the clrcum-
stoncea justified. As it stands the result is to
RenubLraps more in the nature of humilia-
ton than defeat. The Republicans ought to
have carried Maine BY good majority, ana
tbav failed to do it. This in itself is disap-
noi1tmpnt. the keonness of which will not be
5niied in explanation. But that the result
If the contest is not in the nature of Re-
publican disaster is apparent the mo-
mept the situation is analysed. The
worst feature of the whole business
is, that the result will encourage the Bour-
bons everywhere to new boldness in schem-
inc, aud make them n ore daring in their at
tempt at frauds. Maine is not necessary to
the election of Garfield, as we have shown in
previous articles, but the present situation in
that state makes clearly apparent what we
have SO often claimed in these columns, that
the battle must be fought on stalwart issues.
When the Republicans in Maine ialter even on
questions of state policy there is bugle call
for the "Old Guard" to carry into the can
vass the spirit and the nerve that made the
campaigns of 1868 and 1872 memorable
The battle ground is in New York and Indi-
ana and there 10 need for most stupendous
effort The Republicans understand this, and
the etior. will be made. General Grant will
90 first to Ohio, and then to New York.
Senator Conkling will meet Grant in Ohio,
and then 60 to Indiana. Logan, Storrs and
hundreds of other stalwart speakers are
already in the fight where it is the hottest.
The stalwerts of Maine ask the stalwsrts of
the west to stand firm, and, by 50 doing, help
them in November? This is now the main
question, and on the answer depends the cleo
ton of General Garfield.
