The war in railway passenger rates is
renewed with greater vigor than ever.
The guage thrown down by Mr. Vanderbilt
has been taken up by all the competitive
companies, and the low rates offered by
the Central lines are underbid by the
Grand Trunk, the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio. The strife opens in
the West this time and takes wider
range than the earlier contests, at least
one of the lines selling round trip tickets
to Boston, good for thirty days at $40.
Owing to the arbitrary rates charged from
New York. passengers from Chicago to
Boston over the Pennsylvania road will
be carried from Chicago to New York for
25 cents. The bare statement is sutfi-
cient to prove that at least one partici-
pant in the fight will do business for the
mere fun Of doing it. The stockholders
may not like that style Of management,
but what do stockholders know about
running railroads? At any rate the good
time coming for travellers may safely be
said to be here for while.

Professional Deception.

The public are pretty thoroughly impressed
with the idea that the Presidents physicians
have not been dealing truthfully by them; that
they have been deceiving the public, in their
daily bulletins. There is no longer any conf
dence placed in these bulletins and the official
dispatches from Secretary Blaine to Minister
Lowell are looked for rs containing the only
reliable information. 1t is a significant fact,
that his dispatches very rarely agree with the
bulletins. The doctors have high-strung no
tions of what they call professional dignity and
courtesy, and would let the President die before
they would give up that. Rather than cure
him with some simple remedy suggested by
doctor of another system, they would kill him
by adhering to their own; and when one doctor
lies about the case, professional courtesy re-
quires that all the others shOuld subscribe to
the lie. There has been one violation of pro-
fessional courtesy, which may yet result in a
quarrel that will end in their letting Garfield
die. When the President was given up, few
days ago, DR.. Hamilton discovered that some
thing Bliss had been feeding him was poisoning
him. He privately procured and administered
m antidote, and then il was that the President
got better. But Bliss found it out, and now
there is prospect of row over it. Day after
day, the bulletins represented Garfield as improv-
ing, and positively denied that certain unfavor-
able conditions had occurred. few days later,
when he was really much better, the bulletins
have announced that these very conditions, ex-
listing on the very day when it was denied, had
been overcome, and that there was no chance of
their recurrence. Now, when the President is
represented as getting along finely on certain

Signs.

It is a singular fact, that little signs are taken
rs more conclusive evidence than ostentatious
appearances and loud prOtestations. In the ca
lamity which has befalen the country in the az
tempted assassination of the President, belief
has become prevalent that wing or faction Of
his own party would rejoice in his death, and
have already discussed and arranged their plans
of action in view of that event. The leader Of
that wing is profuse in his expressions of sorrow
at the misfortune, and of hope that the Presi-
dent may recover, and his followers are equal
ly liberal in their professions; but these little
signs crop out all the while, telling too plainly
that those persons do not feel what they e1-
press They may stOutly deny that secret con-
fercnces have been held in New York, but all
the signs 60 to prove that such conferences have
been held. They may insist that Vice-President
Arthur shriHks from the idea Of assuming the
Presidency, and that if he does he will make no
material changes; but those little signs, the
random expressions of persons in the secret, and
the demOanor Of those concerned, tell too plain
ly that they are impatient for Garfeld's death,
when they will make thorough cleaning out
of everything not of the 'stalwart" type.
A most significant incident, that speaks for
ITSELF occurred last week, in New York. The
Republican State Central Committee met, for
the purpose of arranging for a State Conven-
tion. The Committee is composed largely of
'Stalwsrts," or COnkling men. Vice-President
Arthur is Chairman, and Collector Robertson is
member. Robertson spoke to another member
of the propriety of passing resolutions Of symPa-
thy with Garfield. The other member, who was
"stalwzrt," replied that that was all arrang-
ed, and that appropriate resolutions were pre-
pared, and would be offered at the proper time.
Robertson rested satisfied, and the business pro-
oeeded, and at its close, motion suddenly
offered, put and carried to adjourn, before those
who were not looking for it cOuld realize what
being done. Regret is expressed at this,
and it is claimed that it was clearly over
sight But it was clearly not oversight. A
majority of that Committee have no SYMPATHY
with tho President, and were determined to er-
press none. The member lied to Robertson, TO
throw him of bis guard, and the motion to ad-
journ sprung at the preconcerted time, and
hurried through, to cut of all opportunity for
offering the resolutions. Tho so-called "Stal-
warts" hate Garfield, and will show him no
spect except what policy forces them to do.
The only possible act he could do to satisfy
them, would be to die, and give them full swing
at the public plunder

n The papers have again taken up the dis
cussion of the origin of the names of Kansas
Counties. We notice that they spell Osborn
with a finale. Why do they do sol A smart
Aleck paper in this State once criticised us for
spelling il Osborn. That was the way the mans
name was spelled for whom the County was
named. 1t is so spelled in the act creating and
naming the County. 1t is the way Ex-Governor
Osborn spells his name, and every other Osborn,
except few who wish to give fancy touch to
the old name. Then, there is Barbour County.
If it was named in honor of the first Free State
martyr, why is it not spelled rs his name was 7
He was Thomas W. Barber. His brother, Oliver
Barber, of Douglas County, continues the SPELL
ing of his name that way. He has not become
too high-toned for his old name, and improved

II st. John has just returned from Indiana,
where he assured the people that the prohibit
tion law was enforced in Kansas, and that the
saloons were routed out of Topeka. About the
first thing he did, was to call meeting for the
purpose of devising means to suppress liquor
selling in Topeka. He said it would require
5000, and he would be one of fifty persons to
give 500 each. Then subscriptions were called
for, and $500 subscribed, including st. Johns
800. They will raise it to about 81, 900, and
then it will stop. Temperance fanatics are good
at bumming for money, but mighty snug when
it comes to shelling out. But the liquor law is
