The farewell words OF the Duke of Cambridge
TO the troops who were embarking from London
for the Transvaal, conveyed to the soldiers the
wish OF the Queen that they Should make
mild use Of their victories In South Africa
This Is equivalent TO an official declaration TIA,
the Beers are not to be treated with anv unnn-
cessary severity when they shall be overcome
result that must follow. This policy OF the
British government viii, undoubtedly, give
general satisfaction for the reason that there
Is great deal OF sympathy felt for the Beers
OF Transvaai, growing out of the hard,hips
their ancestors sustained In building up and
maintaining their homes. After all the suffer
ing OF these people 1t would be cruel for
power as strong as England to crush them anc

Mr.. Reagan's substitute for bis inter state com.
merce bill now pending In the House, contains
all the chiaf features Of the original measure
Its purpose is 10 prohibit discrimin atons, in the
transportation rates OF railroads, In favor OF or
against any persons or localities TO prevent
pooling, rebates, etc. and TO require equitable
and fair rates throughout the country While
Ii Is scarcely probable that the Dill can be PASSED
at this session. there is an apparent determina-
ton on The part OF its supporters 10 press IL
forward. The New York board Of trade aud
transportation is sending broadcast, through
the mails, arguments In favor of the bill and
printed extracts from court decisions and from
Congressional documents TO show that the
measure is constitutional and that Congress has
the authority to pass 1t. The railroad compa.
MES are not idle, by any means, In their opposi-
ton TO the mea- e and briefs on their side OF he
question. backed by extracts from court records.
etc, are distributed freely. The right OF Con-
gresS to regulate interstate commerce Is hardly
questioned, AID IL Is more than probable that
either In This or the next Congress some Iegis-
lation in the direction Of the Reagan bill Will be
enacted.

ExState Senator Mike Bannon, OF Maryland.
Is in Washington, and Is Immersed In busi-
ness" II is stated. He comes here for one
thing, to lobby his scheme for getting posses
sion of the Potomac fats, and Is inspired with
courage In behalf OF his enterprise, because of
the failure OF the House committee On conmer
TO recommend an appropriation OF 81, 25J 900 for
this work. Another thing Mr.. Bannon has In
view Is to secure judgeship In Maryland after
his retirement from active business pursuits
Mr.. Bannon seems 10 be shifty chap, a sort OF
universal genius, equally at home In bossing
canal ring politics, organizing land speculatIoDs
On kfdwei'S Bottoms, or canvassing for q seat
On the judicial bench of Maryland. With all
possible admiration for his versatile genius, the
people OF Washington would prefer taat he
would coniine his operations to his own state:
certainly that he should not antagonize the
appropriation for the Potomac improvement by
his private speculation. IL Is quite certain that
Congress VIII never consent to give up the river
front, opposite the capital city, to any private
company, and all that he will effect by bis
operations here VIII be to defeat the plan 4

No reasonable person, one would suppose
could object TO the increase of pay asked for by
letter carriers OF the ST cond class Their claims
that their present compensation OF $500 Der
annum Is lot commensurate with the labor
they perform and the responsibilities imposed
upon them, seems 10 be Well founded: and.
siLce their duties are Identical with those or
their brethren OF the first class, who receive
LEGO per year. there does hot appear to be any
logical ground for not making their pay the
same. No class Of public servants perform
more faithful or necessary labor under unfayor
able circumstances Than the letter carriers.
and their pay should be neither stinteJ no,

In the press OF business that must come during

that Congress will not neglect TO make the

DESTROYS OF making this census furnish complete
and accurate statistics Of everything connected
with the growth, progress and prosperity OF ths.
country. He has not confined himself to oopu-
latton, products, manufactures, etc., but wher
ever figures could be gathered that would
add to the Information OF the work In hand be
has undertaken TO collect them. Unless the
additional appropriation asked for is granted
some of the valuable Information Contemplated
for the census work must be abandoned. IL
would be a spirit OF false economy to deny the
money necessary TO make the cen sus as com
plete and accurate In all It's details as research
and study can accomplish.

Statement Of Eacfs.

We had some sctrictGres to make
last week upon some of our officers
who had in their possession a war
rant for the arrest of a man charged
with a grave crime against a young,
married Polish woman.
1t seems the case has been dis
missed, without an examination, the
prosecuting witness not being pres
ent. The Justice makes a statement
which we publish below:
"In regard to the State VS.. Ander-
son, will say, Anderson appeared
in court at o'clock q. m, Sept. 81,
1881, asked for a trial; | told him
he could not have trial until the
prosecution had reasonable time to
appear, that | would continue the
case to L O'Clock, m, and would
inform the prosecuting attorney
what l did; at Il o'clock Anderson
appeared, and again asked for trial.
I then continued the case to .
o'clock, p. m, as there had been no
appearance on the side of the pros
ecution.
"At 2 o'clock p. m, Anderson
appeared with prosecuting attorney
Geo. G.. Bowman. Attorney Bow
man briefly stated they had not been
able to procure evidence on the part
of the prosecution, and asked that
the case be dismissed for want OF
prosecution, and the prisoner dis
charged.
Anderson asked me if he had to
pay any money. | told him If be
was acquitted the costs could not be
taxed to him; be then asked me if
the State would not pay me my
costs; | told him, no, had no way
of getting my costs, as the State
never paid on any case when the
prisoner was discharged.
Now, it has been stated by some
claiming to have interest in the case
that there had been q sum of money
paid to the court and to prosecuting
attorney. Now, will Oe qualified
