The amount OF business done by the roads
leading east from this city during the past
week was about the same as for the week pre-
vious- The shipments OF grain, -four, and pro-
visions for the week ending Oct 16 were 50, $40
tous, against IS ,203 tons the week previous. 1t
is most surprising thing that, while the Vest
ern roads are taxed to their fult capacity, the
Eastern lines do NOT increase their business.
The trouble is that the Eastern rn1l-rates are
higher than those charged by the lake and
water routes. Usually at thia season Of the
year, when navigation nears its end. lake
rates are so high that the roads east
from here get all the business they want.
But the lake rates are no higher now than
they were q month or two ago, which
is due In a great measure to the competition OF
the barge lines from st. Louis. As the latter
will bo III the field during the winter, the East
ern roads will not have everything their own
way as heretofore, and they will hardly be able
to raise their rates during this winter to the
same figures they were last. 1t has already

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-04-10

The local elections which are being
held this week are, as rule. Of little
national importance, as the contests
are net being fought on national, but
on purely local, issues. Yet 1t must
be remembered that in local, as well
as general, elections the Republicans
and Democratic parties hold their
caucuses and nominate their tickets,
and. as in national politics, an indie
dent ticket occasionally appears in
the field. An analysis OF the votes
taken in Western towns and cities
Tuesday shows one thing, however,
which should not be overlooked, in
view of the approaching Presi Dental
elections. 1t is the unusual extent
to which party lines are ignored.
Iowa towns which have always been
republican have elected Independent,
Democratic or mixed tickets, while,
on the other hand, Democratic strong
holds in Indiana are wiped out by
Republican victories, and the Re-
publican victories, and the Republi-
can movement in favor of abolishing
the October state election in that state
secures large majority. This con-
ditien of the public mind means that
the nomination by the Republican
Convention at Chicago of man who
is Objectionable to considerable
proportion of the party will make the
election of that candidate next fall
noubtful, while the election of an
unobiectionable candidate and there
are score of such to choose from
! is certain.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-04-10

The platform of the Democratic
party last fall was made up of Re-
publican principles clad in Demo-
ocratic dress. We did not believe that
a party, whose res ord, has been SIM
ply denial of everything that the
Republicans of late years have as
serted, would amount to much for the
good of the State. 1t began its Ca
reer in the late Legislature with
recapitulation of its assertions dur
ing the campaign. The Governor
laid down his programme, and had 1t
endorsed by a portion of his party.
Antagonisms began to develop them
selves. A caucus was held, and it
proposed an extensive series of Re-
forms that it would introduce. Days
and weeks passed along, but promises
failed to ripen into performance, and
the end of the Legislature arrived
without the actualization of single
plan. The policy has been really to
avoid changes by which the present
dynasty would run the risk of defeat.
Virtually there has been no policy.
The Reforms have / zen not of the
kind that the people have demanded,
and of retrenchment there has been
nothing that could Tighten the bur-
dens of the people. The last thing
done by the Legislature was its final
adjournment, and that was controlled
by the constitutional requirement.
Its principal glory consisted in the
termination of its existence.-Fred-
erick Examiner.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-04-10

Congress is making very slow pro-
gress with the business of the session.
The appropriation bills are not so
far advanced toward enactment as
they have often been in January.
Only the Pension APPROPRIATION bill
has become law. The West Point
Academy bill is before a conference
committee, and the Fertilization APP
preparation bill will soon be in the
same condition. The House has
passed the Consular and diplomatic
Appropriation bill, and has yet to act
on the Naval, the Postal, the Legis-
latiye and Executive, the General
Deficiency, the River and Harbor,
and the Omnibus bills. Each one of
these will require time for its con-
sideratiOn in the House, and will
then have to be acted on in the Sem
ate, so that il is almost impossible to
terminate the session before July,

believed to be, in the quantity of
matter it contains, by far the largest
volume published. 1t now contains
about $4,000 words defined, and
nearly $4,000 words and meanings
not found in any other one diction-
arv. The Biographical Dictionary,
just added, supplies want long felt
by the reader and student. in giving
the desired information so briefly.
Never was any one volume so COM
plete as an aid in getting an educa-
ton.
