SECRETARY WINDOWS success in extend
ing the six per cent. loan of 1881 at 81 per
cent. promises to exceed his most extrava-
giant expectations. 1t is probable that he
would be equally successful with the five
per cent bonds, should he offer to extend
them at 3 per cent Of the economical ad-
vantages of the Secretary's scheme the Uti-
ca Herald says:
While the interest is reduced to three and a
half per cent, even that change is not fastened
upon the treasury one moment beyond its own
option. Heretofore because of the require
ment of three months notice for called bonds,
the government has been compelled to pay
double interest during some if not all of that
time. BY this arrangement there is no doub-
ling of interest. Under every other scheme of
refunding some expense has been involved for
printing and engraving and for commissions.
Under this arrangement this outlay is all dis.
pensed with. The extension of tho bonds is
the most economical device which the treasury
has ever hit upon. This consideration enters
also into every prediction about the length of
the extension now contemplated. 1t may be
well doubted whether any other refunding
process will be desired before the bonds are
paid in full from the surplus revenue. For
some tapping over of interest would be neces-
sary for any actual change in the bonds, and
the expenses of reissue and of commissions
would reach appreciable figures. The proba-
bility that for this reason the extension will
serve all the purposes of refunding will induce
wise fnancierS to send in their bonds for stamp
ing and thus secure the advantage of the only
transaction which the treasury will propose.

A Chicago Sensation,

Chicago insists on two things, its daily
beer and its daily sensation. The weakness
of the one is remedied by the strength of
the other. The latest sensation appears in
the Tribune and deals with man whose
acts and words and ambitions are constant
themes of curiosity to all newspaper folk and
to most newspaper readers. The Tribune
thinks it has discovered in General Grants
visit to Mexico purpose to revolutionize
that country and annex it to the United
States. 1t intimates that he will put him
self at the head of great dissatisfied ele-
ment which it claims exists there, over
throw the government, and bring the Mexi-
seems to favor the plan, urging that the con-
quest is a commercial, if not political ne
cessity, and saying that Mexico will never
be developed nor well-governed until we
possess it.
If the conquest of Mexico is commercial
necessity let us acquire that country by COM
mercial means, not by revolution. The
American people are not minded to repeat
the experience of the Polk Administra-
tion and bully friendly country out of
its most valuable territory. No scheme of
spoliation like that will be tolerated. No
administration will be permitted to urge the
hypocritical plea that the interests of our
commerce demand the plunder of our neigh
bors. That sort of thing must be left to the
English. Nor is it to be for a moment be-
lieved that General Grant would lend his
countenance to such an affair. Were he 60
ing on ventures he would undertake ventures
of a more honorable kind. Mexico is not
groaning under an oppression that would
justify revolution. She was never better
governed, and there are no indications that
many of her people are dissatisfied, or desire
annexation to this country. We certainly
would not be benefited by the admission of
a score of greaser States.
Any movement leading to the extension
and development of commercial relatio s
between Mexico and this country is to be
welcomed. Yankee enterprise and thrift
could do much for the neighboring republic
and would bring us rich return. That Gen.
eral Grant has this idea at heart there is
good reason to believe; and he is well fitted
to make it an actuality. But to the rumors
that he entertains the idea of making a
Mexican conquest few will be ready to give
credence.

bacco, shipped by carload, for any dis.
lance not exceeding i've miles, thirteen
and threatening cents per ton per mile;
and for greater distances decreasing in an
inverse ratio with the increase OF distance,
Nothing In the first section, however, is
to be construed to prevent charging lower
rates than these, but In no case shall any
company charge any greater sum Tor 0
less distance than for greater distance.
By section two narrow gauge railroads
and railroads less than 10 miles In
length are expempted from the provisions
OF the bill,
Section three provides that every COM
pany shall keep constantly exposed In q
conspicuous place printed copy OF the
first section Of this act,

rates alter the first Of January In each
year.
In the sixth section provision Is made
for the accommodation OF the trade OF
towns Of three hundred inhabitants or
more.
The seventh section preacrlbes the pen.
alties for any violations OF the provisions
OF this act, Upon indictment and con.
vlction OF the first offense the company

Hor more than $4,000; third oGense, not
lees than $4,000 nor more than $4,000,
and for every ofense thereafter $4,000.
The eighth section provides that this act
shall be construed literally and remedial.
ly, and that the true intention, meaning
and purposes thereof may be enforced
without technical objections.
The other sections provide toLthe man
ner In which suits may be brought, and
provides that II shall be the duty OF every
Circuit Court Judge, Of each and every OF
the terms OF the respective Circuit Courts
at which q Grand Jury shall be empan.
eled, to give this act In special charge 10
