Mr.. +. 3. Gowen, addressing share
holders of the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad, in London, said if the Mccall
monts would adopt the deferred bond
scheme he would resign the receivership
of the road at once and give bond never to
stand for the presidency again, and that
he would further cooperate with the Nc
Calmonts in selecting new board of di-
rectOrs. His alternative proposition is to
buy the shares of the McCalmOnts at $40
each, stating that if they refuse his offers
he would beat them ut the next eIection
of the company.

Our esteemed Republican contempor-
aries of loudly prOfesse,l but very easy
virtue, who have been anticipating 4
millennial conditions of things, induced
10y the general sympathy of the people
with their stricken president, and who
have been announcing rs their pro-
gramme only one candidate in 1884,
and his name Garfield" have had
their enthusiasm quite chilled by the
suggestion that the president should ap-
point a Democrat to the supreme bench
in place of Clifford. The supreme court
is supposed to be non-political body,
and should be filled up on different con-
sideratiOns from those which govern the
selection of other public officers, because
appointments to it are of life tenure.
Every present member of it was appoint
ed as Il Republican, some rs partisans,
and only one has indicated by his deci-
siOns his sympathy with the Democratic
view of constitutional construction.
Hence the intimation that two out of
nine would not he dangerous proper
tion of representation for a party with
more than half the votes of tie country,
has been thrown out in some Republican
journals. We have not seen it snapped
at voraciously by the apostles of the
"era of good feeling.' That is not
the kind of political millennium they
are looking for. When the lamb and
lion lie down together they want the
Democratic lamb inside.

being held he amused himself by firing off
a pistol in one end of the woods. He was
quickly arrested by Officer Hollinger and

over agreed not to punish the offender,
who begged hard to be let go. He was
finally discharged and he ran away from

California Teaches Sent 10 New York.

California Peaches Sent TO New York.
An interesting new addition to the
transportation achievements of the coun-
try has recently been made by the sue.
cessful movement of several car loads Of
peaches from California to New York.
The cars Wee attached to passenger
trains, and the charge for rapidly haul
ing them across the continent was 81, 100
per car. The time consumed in transit
was nine days, and it is said that the oper-
alton was made commercially successful,
after many experiments, rather by good
Judgment in selecting the proper time to
pick the peaches moved than by any spc.
cial superiority of refrigcrating appli.
ances. The peaches were sent from Sac
ramento to Chicago in an ice-coOled
car. attached to 4 passenger train, but
from Chicago to New York they
were forwarded in an ordinary
Adams express car. In other branches of
the California fruit trade, such as the
movement of pears. plums and grapes, it
is said that no ice is used, the car being
simply we'll ventilated. and that the cars
are usually attached to fast freight trains,
which make the journey in II days and
the charge for movements of this kind is
reported TO be $3.50 per car.

THE FIRE AT STEVENS.

Bare's Tobacco Sweating House Burned
The tobacco sweating establishment at
Steven: station that was burned yesterday
morning belonged to Mr.. A. s. Bare. 1t
was frame building, an ordinary car
rage house, with poultry house attached,
and was entirely consumed. Fortunately
it contained only few cases of tobacco,
the sweater. a jackscrew and few other
articles, including number of fowls, all
Of which were destroyed. The loss is
about 5000 and is covered by insurance.
The building stood within twenty feet
of Mr.. Bare's barn, and it was with great
difficulty the latter was saved, the end
next the burned building being badly
cl,arred. Had the re been 4 breeze blowing
.s tho time, the barn and other valuable
property would undoubtedly have been
destroyed.

EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1881.
Peculiar Reform.

Now that Collector Robertson has got
into his place in the New York custom
house, and proclaimed his policy it seems
that there is no substantial difference
between it and his predecessors, and
that Mr.. Merritt's removal was ordered
for purely political reasons, which were
not only not in accord with the princi-
ples of civil service reform, but in direct
antagonism to them. Mr.. Merritt was less
of a politician than Robertson, and gave
a business attention and strict manage
ment to his office, as his successor de-
clared approvingly in taking possession,
and as the mercantile community testi-
fed in, protesting against his removal.
Indeed it was only reconciled by his ap-
pointment to one of the most lucrative
positions in the foreign service.
The fact is that Mr.. Blaine wanted
a smart and active politician in this
place who would organize and
manipulate its powerful influences
to the upbuilding of an administration or
Blaine party in New York. In this view
the change there was as gross violation
of civil service reform, as absolute an
exercise of ''boss" power, as deliberate a
stroke of machine" politics, as any
thing ever done 10y Conkling and his fac
tion. The administration must carry
the Odium of this indefensible perform
ance.
A crisis which has arisen in the dis
tribution of the Maine patronage gives
opportunity to test whether the New
York policy is to bc extended or not.
Blaine's ''Bub" Hale promised the Ban
gor cOllectOrship TO eN-Gov. Davis in
consideration Of his retirement from the
senatorial contest with Hale-a species
of political trading for which, under the
law to purify Pennsylvania politics,
Office brokers can be sent to
Jail. To make good his contract
Hale has to have the present collector,
Gen. Joseph Smith, removed two years
before his commission Of Office expires,
without cause; and Garfield aSSented to
this, though he had not executed the in
tention when he was struck down. Mean
time Smiths friends are up in arms and
about three-fOurths of the Republican
voters up that way and almost the entire
business community support his protest.
The administration must meet the issue.
1t remains to be seen how it will do it,
and whether when the president recov-
ers, he will be the chief executive or del
cgate the power and responsibilities of
his Office to the busy politician in the de-
partment of state, to reward his friends
and punish his enemies in dispensing the
public patronage.
