these changes will come along peace

these changes will come along peace
fully. But they must come.
In Russia there is little to encourage
the hope that the Government will of
its own motion undertake to meet the
reasonable demands of the people. A
harder problem was never before Gov
eminent. In the 100000 of people
there is a mighty mass of ignorance.
The disconnected disturbers are few but
powerful. And how to do the right,
even if the Government were disposed
to do right, it Is hard to say. But it
must be done.
There are so many nationalities in
one nation, SO many languages, conflict
ing hereditary interests and religions,
that the amalgamation of the whole is
impossible. In the Baltic provinces the
spirit of rebellion is fostered by relig-
ious teachers, and hatred of the Imperi-
al power is becoming part of the re-
ligion of the people.
And the secret Nihilist frightens ev-
cry body else, while he proposes moth
ing but humiliation. He does not want
to build he seeks only to destroy. Not
government, only. but property, society.
order, every social institution is to be
blown up with dynamite mines. This
is the pail spread over Russia at this
hour.
What is the hope of man in such
times of peril =? Russia ought to do what
England is doing now. England is
seeking to do justice to Ireland. She
must also do justice to her own poor and
to Scotland's. 1t is pity that the
Duke of Argyll goes out of the British
Government because of the Irish Land
Bill. 1t would be more in keeping
with that great Christian nobleman's
character to remain and press a reform
in the land laws of the whole United
Kingdom. The tendency of things is
to the adjustment of relations between
the landless and landlords. And We
leave off as we began, by saying
"Nothing that is wrong is settled. p

1t is now remarked that Mr.. White
law Reid influenced the President to
nominate Judge Robertson for collector
of New York. Probably the remark is
untrue, like nine-tenths of the reports
that emenate from Washington. If true
it would be all right, however, for it
would show that the President sticks to
his platform of listening to all parties
in regard to appointments. There would
seem to be no good reason why an infu-
entail editor should not have the ear of
the President as we'll as an influential
politician or oficeholder. His advice
would be quite as disinterested as that
oEany other class.

The reports of the bureau of statis-
tics at Washington giving the exports
of breadstufs from the principal ports
OF the country during the first ten
months Of the current fiscal year, as
compared to similar exports during the
same period last year, show that of the
six leading ports only Boston and New
Orleans made gains. The exports of
the former amounted in round numbers
to $l4,00O,OOO for the ten months of
1881, against $ll, 100000 for the same
period of 1880; and the exports of the
latter port amounted to 100000 for
1881. against $7,4OO,OOO for 1880.

The state conference of Congregation

jects as 1.-The Relation of the Family to
the State, '.1he Council and the Min
isterial Association as Safeguards of
DOctrinal Purity" ard the report of the
committee on Change of Constitution, Z"
are to be presented by those appointed
last year for the purpose. The Chronii-
Gle thus speaks of this meeting: 1.-The
convention at St. Johnsbury ought to be
one of the best that has yet been held
in the state, and should be preceded and
prepared for by much forethought and
devOut prayer for the Spirit that guides
into all truth, as well as prompts to
careful consideration of the subjects
above noted and the others that are to
come before the body, no less important
because they are annual and ordinary.

was the telegraphing, Friday night, of

watch, with dial of about three

the shirt bosom, and the watch in the
middle one is wound by turning the stud
above, and the hands are set by turning
the one below. Another singular thing
is that the watch is run by a pendulum,
like a clock, and runs in any position,
even upside down.

The Robbers In the Tax once,

The statement presented to the Coun-
ellis by Receiver of Taxes Hunter is con-
else, direct and business like. 1t will
not be Mr.. Hunters fault If there be
any failure to fulfill the purpose which
the citizens had in view In his election,
which included not only reform In
the conduct of the office, but .crutiny
OF Its records, to ascertain how and 10
what extent the city had been robbed,
even II it were not possible to recover
the money, and punish the robbers.
The rottenness of the former admins
tration OF the Tax Office was partly ex-
posed by the investigation Of a com.
mittee OF the Councils some years ago.
AT this time the whole office had he
come so hopelessly corrupt that the Re
ceiver OF Taxes was not able to prevent
his clerks from stealing all that they
could lay hands on for their own private
benefit. The exposure led TO the adop-
tion of something like an intelligent
system, but the extent cfthe peculations
was carefully concealed, even when 1t
was found necessary to prosecute one or
two of the clerks.
The natur e OF the accounts was such
that wi bout T. eeacc IS to the books oftbe
ofilce 1t was imposs lble for any one 70
htd out what proportion of the money
received was ever returned to the Treas
ury, even with the aid OF the records in
the Controllers cftice, some of which
at least must had been falslfied More
over, the same ring bad retained control
OF the office for SO long that there abund
ant opportunity to doctor the accounts,
and 1t must require long and patient
examination to get down to the bottom
facts. Mr.. Hunter does not undertake Ia
say how much Of the taxpayers money
has been stolen. He simply informs the
Councils OF the various ways in whicn
THEFT was committed, so that they NAV
direct the necessary legal action to pr o.
tect the public interests Times.

SATURDAY. DECEmBEa 8. Issl.
TIE SOUTH SIDE RAILROADS.

THE SOUTH SIDE RAILROADS.
There is now scarcely doubt that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
will proceed with their projected new
line through this city. They hold the
right of way over the marsh to the
South Side, and will want all the ad-
vantages that other roads have to run
their trains on, or near, or across
Christiana avenue.
They will probably want to pass
this city on the east as well as the
west. They could easily bridge the
Christiana below the mouth Of the
Brandywine and taking the route
past Edge Moor connect with the
Philadelphia aud Reading at Hook or
Thurlow. Both of these places will
in time become great manufacturing
sites, and demand much coal, lion
and other material. Their trains
passing on the west of this city will
take large share of the travel from
that section and the up country. The
Pennsylvania railroad may cut this off
in part by putting a station near
Tenth and Market streets and run
ming street car to their road at
Brandywine Station. This would
prove a convenience and be highly
appreciated.
The Baltimore and Ohio route west
of the city would be costly one be.
cause of the heavy grades through
the rocky country between the city
and Chester where the road would
connect with the Reading but it
would be paying route, going
through high and healthy country
and cutting of all the travel west of
the Pennsylvania road.
This road could be built for about
$4,000, 900 cash and it would have as
an opponent for popular favor a road
costing its stockholders $21 900, 900.
1t is easy to see that the difference in
cost will enable the new road to run
freights and passengers very cheaply.
But the South Side matter is what
most requires attention of the City
Council, There is now an ordinance
before that body to permit the VIII
mington and Northern Railroad Com
pany 10 lay tracks and sidings on and
across Christiana avenue at four il
not i've different points. This is but
one road. When the two other roads
come forward to claim the same rig
at other points it will be seen how the
avenue will be cut up. This may per-
haps be avoided by all the roads agree
ing to use the game tracks. Bat there
is no way of avoiding the evil. Some
say the roads ought to lay lheil
tracks parallel with the avenue anc
not on it. But this would evidentl,
ruin that side of the avenue for al
business purposes and would reall,
be as Objectionable for the future,
not more Objectionable. than layin
the tracks in the middle of the roa
bed of the avenue. 1t would be a
nnsightly avenue with buildings on on
side and only railroad track, wher
we hoped to see buildings, on til
other side of it.
