In the first place the the farmers CT

they cannot compete with California ald
Utah at lower rates-it would bankrupt

TEE ADJOURNMENT OF TIE SENATE.

The adjournment of the Senate has
blown the Malone bargain to the winds,
and Messrs. Gorham and Riddleberger are
left to digest the bitter draught of disap.
pointment as best they may. The Malone
bargain has not prospered from the begin
ming. 1t was disapproved by the Republi-
can party with rare exceptions. Its
implications were as distasteful as its prin-
ciples. The proposal to make Gorham
Secretary of the Senate again created a
strong sentiment of anger and disgust on
this coast, and in fact throughout the
country as soon as his peculiar record was
generally understood. The affair drifted
along, and Gorham drifted into the defense
of his friend Brady and the star-route
swindlers This filled the cup of his
| transgressons, and by the time he had
blackguarded the President and fully COM
mitted himself to the vindIcation of the
mail thieves, it became evident that he was
an impossible candidate. The resignation
of his friend Conkling destroyed his last
chance, and it is now certain that if the
question of changing the Senate officers is
broached again next winter, an entirely
new slate will have to be prepared.
Meantime Mr.. Gorham viii evidently have
plenty of work on his hands in connection
with the star.route scandals, and it is
equally clear that he will be on the wrong
side of that inquiry.

THB BoYToN CASE.

Secretary Blaine's report upon. the Boy
ton case shows that this claimant of
American citizenship has failed to sub
stantiase his claim SO completely that the
Government could not, without impropri.
ETY., make any representations concerning
him to England Whether he really be.
lieved that he was an American citizen is
of course question 10. easily answered,
but even had his proofs been as full as
they are in fact deficient, it is clear that
it would have been very difficult and
ungracious task to ask his release under
the circumstances. He is accused of hay.
ing fomented sedition in foreign country,
and it is very certain that no American
citizen has right to do that, and that the
American Government would not be iusti-
fed in proposing the release of person so
accused. Boyton went to Ireland of his
Own accord, with the express purpose of
taking an active part in revolutionary
proceedings, and he must be left to the
natural outcome of the situation he has
made for himself.

TUNIs AND ENGLAND.

In the matter of Tunis it now appears
that England's teeth have been drawn by
the Marquis of Salisbury, who at the time
the Treaty of Berlin was framed agreed,
on behalf of his Government, that France
should have carte blanche in this affair as a
set-off to the British annexation of Cyprus.
What makes it worse is that Salisbury
attempted to deny his share of the dis
graceful bargain, until the record was re-
ferred Ito, and he was silenced by the
facts. This was one of the incidents of
that A." Peace with Honor" which Beacons-
field and Salisbury brought back to London
from Berlin. The French have taken a
very unfair advantage of the agreement
made with Salisbury, beyond doubt.
They have in fact perpetrated robbery of
territory under cover of it. But England
cannot complain of what she pledged her.
self not to resist, and thus the nation has
to swallow its chagrin as best it may.
This episode, however, may have the effect
of checking the Tory reaction.

TOM SCOTT.

Tom Scott is dead. He died of over.
work. Possessed of extraordinary execu.
tive capaeity, and what is called an "iron
constitution" he paid no attention to
Natures warnings, aud SO was cut down in
full career. and doomed to years of suffer.
ing, to end in premature death. He was
great railroad manager, which is to say
that he had the administrative and organ.
izing faculties which could have made
him a great captain had his bent been
military. What he could do in his own
way he showed during the rebellion, when
ne was Stanton's Under. Secretary of-War,
and had full charge of the military tran.
sportation. As officer and finally Presi-
dent OF the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road he exhibited the same mastery abili-
ties. lie acquired riches in the natural
course Of his hfe-woik, but it is safe
assertion that he always cared very much
more for the work itself than for what
came to him through it. He was
not by genius Spectator or
gambler in stocks, but as we have
said a great administrator. Few men have
worked harder or more continuously, and it
may be added that few men have taken
less care for their own health and future.
Scott had planned the Texas Pacific line,
and but for the physical collapse which
several years ago practically compelled
him to relinquish his favorite ambition, he
might have pushed it to completion by this
time. He was man OF indomitable
energy, cool judgment and remarkable
frmness, and though in this world the
most successful and useful men are never
long missed, it will be some time before
his peer in his peculiar field is found.
