more. The New York Times says:
"In the absance Of national legislation
TO regulate the competition OF the
through lines from the West to the sea
board, aud to secure stable and equitable
tariffs of rates, the managers have enter
ed into voluntary agreements LOT tne
purpose, and in establishing the tariffs
they have always placed New York at q
disadvantage, or, at least, her natural
advantages, TO the benefit OF when
her people are entitled, have been
Offset by a discrimination in favor Of
Baltimore and Philadelphia. Through
rates to those cities are arbitrarily fixed
lower than through rates TO New York,
regardless OF any actual difference in
the cost of through transportation. The
distance is somewhat less and the cost
of coal somewhat lower on the lines to
Baltimore and Philadelphia, but it is
claimed that the easier grades and the
larger local traffic of the New York
lines enable them to do the through
business quite as eheaply."
The mistake which the New Yorke S
make is in leaving the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore and Ohio roads-two
powerful and ambitious lines-out oil
their calculations. These roads natural
" desire to take traffic to Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and they are able to ex'
tort terms from the two trunk lines IN
New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore
are nearer to the central West than
New York is, and there is cheap
er coal in Pennsylvania and
Maryland than in New York
conditions which explain the
cheaper rates to Philadelphia and Baiti'
more than to New York. When the New
York merchants demand that the Cen
trail and Erie roads shall carry to New
Yore as cheaply as the rival roads carry
to the rival cities they ask more than
can be CONCEDED; they seek to impose
the whole cost OF maintaining New
York's ascendency on the New York
trunk roads.
The Utica conference will probably
never get beyond the discussion OF the
subject. The New York Legislature
may control the New York railroads,
but it cannot control the roads OF Penn
sylvania and Maryland. The Pennsyl-
yania and the Baltimore and Ohio are
under equal obligations to build up
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and unless
the New York merchants can devise
some legislation to force these outside
roads to charge higher rates than they
now charge on the traffic they take 10
these cities, the anti-monopoly move.

MANY secular newspapers promptly
commented upon DIR. NEwMAN's ridlcu-
lous sermon at the time OF its deliver
ance, and the more apparent the Chris
tianity of the paper the severer the
criticism upon NEWMAN. Colonel M
GERsoLL now takes him up with the
remark: "Rev. DR.. NEWMAN, oil New
York, tells us that the crime OF GUITEAu
shows three things: First, that lgnor-
ant men should not be allowed to vote;
second, that foreigners should not be
allowed to vote; and, third, that there
should not be so much religious liberty.
II turns out, first, that GUIrsAU is not
an ignorant man; second, that he is not
a foreigner; and, third, that he is a
Christian. Now, because an intelligent
American Christian tries to murder the
President, the parson says we ought to
do something with the ignorant foreign
srs and infidels! This is about the
average pulpit logic" That is rather
mild for BOB.

The subject Of anti.monopoly is caus-
ing as much excitement in New York
Just now as it caused in California three
years ago, and a State conference is to
be held at Utica this week to consider
it and see what can be doneto bring the

The movement is as strictly an anti.rail-

that the system OF railroad management
in the country has ceased to be as favor

entirely out Of sight that there

New York, other ambitious and en-

Baltimore and Philadelphia are both
nearer 70 the central West than New

An intelligent farmer living in Des
Moines county, has invented a heno,
phone. modelled on the principle of q
telephone. by which one reliable old
hen, occupying a central office in the
hennery, sits on all the nests about the
establishments, leaving other fowls
free to lay eggs, scratch and cackle.
AS fast as a new nest contains the full
complement of eggs, it is connected
with the central office by a copper
wire, and the business is settled. The
only trouble about the machine is that
it sits so hard il matches out the pOr.
cclain nest eggs along with the 9th.

born with glass eyes, and the farmer
has to buy and train a dog to lead it
around. This makes il expensive. -
