ONE of the most serious questions
raised between President Garfield
and the "stalwarts" is that Of
veracity. Garfield is confronted by
both Conkling and Plat, who say,
over their signatures, that he sol.
emnly promised them that DO
changes should be made Ia the Of
fees in the New York Custom
House duiing the time for which
the commissions Of their then oc.
cupants ran. 1t Is impossible to
whistle down the wind the state.
ments OF two public men, Of hith.
erto unlmpeached integrity. All
the sigus go to show that the Pres.
ident has a shoe.stripg for a back.
bone aud that his tongue forks
most violently. His career has not
been such as to give his word the
preference owe. that Of any eingle
Senator of the United States. 1t is
the knowledge which the "stal.
warts" have Of Gsrheld's broken
faith and unreliable promises that
SO envenoms these representatives
of the manlier element Of the par
ty, and which will make their re.
sentiment undyiDg.

What may be accom- pIished by
brazen pretender is illustrated in
the case OF w. II. Chase, at Med.
way, Msss. He arrived in that
town an utter stranger two years
ago, without letters Of Introduction
or any other means Of gaining fa.
vOr than his own resources. He
gave out that he was o wounded
veteran officer Of the army, ex.
member of Gen. H0ward's staff,
son Of a clergy ex.editor of
the Chicago Inter. Ocean and ex.
Secretary Of the United States Sen.
ate Committee on Commerce. He
was at once made principal OF the
high school aud allowed to take o
leading position In tho CoDgrega-
tiOnal Church. He preached in
neigbboring churches and beca me
superintendent Of q Sunday school.
He went into politics, too, and was
y popular stump speaker during
the last Presidential canvass.
At this time he was arrested on ap
old charge of swindling, but man
aged to hide the scandal by paying
the claim. When the crack military
company Of Boston, the Fusiiesrt, +,
recently visited Washington, It was
"COl. Chase. q wounded hero of
Gettysburg" who presented them
to President Garfield. About thi.
time he secured an increase Of SAL
ary from the School Board by rep.
resenting that he had been offered
the private secretaryship to Score
tary Window; but this has eau led
nis downfall. Somebody wrote TO
Window, and the lie Was exposed.
Then proof was secured that Chase
bad never been on Gen. Howard's
staff, or editor Of the Inter. Ocean,
or Secretary Of Senate Com mit. a..
tee. Finally. he has 6ed from
Medway 1nder charge of criminal
conduct.

The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-05-31

A few days ago the wires furnished us
perfect statement of the number of miles of
railroads built in the Uuitad States during the
last ten or twelve years. 4 copy of the Conn.,
mercid bulletin, from which the dispatch
referred 10 was taken, is now before us and
we are enabled to lay before the readers of
the MINER a true statemen mt of railroad con-
struction in the country. sour last record Of
railroad construction and projections was
published March &c, 1880. From September,
1879. till that date the miles constructed mum.
bered 2,91l the miles projected, 1861 total
1852. The following is Il record from March
so, 1850, to April l, 1881. From this data, it
appears tn Attha number Of miles actually con-
structed amounts to 6,li}, the number of
roads being l34. The number Of miles pro-
jected amounts to 1927, the number of roads
being ls2. Thirty-seven projected roads are
capitalized to the amount of SOS, G35 900, the
total mileage being 1884, For es CHI mile Of
road there is issued, therefore, about ST., 625
Of capital stock. The number of miles OF
road constructed in 1880 Amounted to 6,24l Z.
in 1890 4,721; in 1873 to 2,667 in 1877 to
to 2,2Sl.: i'll 1876 to 2,7l2: in 1873 to l,713:
in 1874 to 2, lO5 in 1873 to 4, 1O7 in 1872 to
5,S7S; in 1871 to 1879 in 1870 to 600; in
1869 to 4,6l5. 1t thus appears that railroad
construction is again reaching the magnitude
it reached list before the great panic. More
miles were built in 1871 than in any other
year. There were only % miles in operation
in 1890; in 1881 - miles were constructed.
The number Of miles i'll operation in 1879
was S G,497.'
