A Difficult Task.

Since the Virginia Readjusters have
by the recent wrangle which has resulted
in the disruption of their party, shown
that they are governed by no principle
beyond that of making sure Of the spoils
of Office, it is amusing to note what
labored efforts certain Republican con-
temporaries of the North who affiliated
with and encouraged reputation in the
last Virginia campaign are making to
relieve themselves from the odium which
must necessarily be attached to them.
The New York Times, for instance,
feels it necessary, in view of the part it
has taken in the Generalization of Vir-
ginia's credit and the triumph of num-
Der of the spoil-seeking repudiationists,
to denounce the quarrels in which the
Readiusters are engaged, and says: sit
is at best sordid and vulgar squabble
in which not a spark of decencV or
honor remains. The Readjuster party,
as the liberal friend of exact and equal
rights to all men, without regard to
caste or color, has deserved and has re-
ceived the sympathy of all fair minded
men in its struggle with Bourbonism in
Virginia. But the Readjuster party,
wrangling over the offices and clamor-
GUS for the smallest crumbs of official
patronage, deserves nothing but con-
tempt and ridicule."
Regarding this sentiment, the Boston
Post pertinently asks the Times if it
wishes it to be understood that it is so
obtuse as not to know that the Read
ulster party has from the first been
''clamorous for the smallest crumbs OF
official patronage" and was never more
so than before election? 1t says that 1t
knew this as well before reputation was
established in Virginia, by the grace OF
the Republican party, as it knows it now,
and declared it. Moreover it knew and
stated that to accomplish this the Read
juster party would appeal by shameful

greed inhamed by an opportunity to
crafty itself by a legalized offense
againse public morality and honor; and
we are sorry to say that these promises
have been kept with fidelity. Says
the Post further: ''The Riddleber
ger bill has passed; reputation is
law; the common end is attained, and
now the freebooters are quarreling, as
thieves always do, over individual shares
of the spoils. The Times could hardly
have expected any other result. We do
not believe it did expect anything else,
because anything else would have
been an illogical and unnatural
conclusion. We say this, not that
we wish to accuse the Times, but
because the situation was so patent
that any other assumption challenges
credulity. Now, having helped to win
mongrel victory of Republicans and Re-
adjusters, but all regulators, it seeks to
dodge responsibility for its acts by cred
iting these political Dick Turpins with
impossible reform purposes in the early
stages of their canvass"

The merchants of Providence, r. l.,
want to be protected against the compe-
titiOn of the merchants of Boston. 1t
appears that the New York and New
England Railroad Company has for some
time been in the habit of selling excuI-
sion tickets from Providence to Boston
at very low rates. The women of
Providence find that by buying these
tickets they can visit Boston and do their
shopping in that cultured capital to much
greater advantage than they can shop at
home. The result is that the Providence
shopkeepers find their custom slipping
away from them, and they have petit
toned the Legislature to take some
measures to prevent the railway from
''coaxing away the business Of the COM
munity." It is evident that the mer-
chants Of Providence cannot successfully
compete with the pauper labor Of Boston,
and the Legislature viii have to place a
State tax on everything brought into
Rhode Island from that classic city, if
only some ways and means can be de-
vised to evade constitutional provisions
on point.

The New York Truth has recently
published On account Of the experience
of a holder in the KnickerbOcker Life
Insurance Company. 1t seems that the
company wrote to this policy holder to
the effect that his policy, on which he
had paid dividends regularly for years,
had been charged with losses to the same
extent that it had been credited with
profits, and desired him to pay to the
company interest at the rate of @ per
cent. per annum on the amount so
charged, and to agree that said amount be
deducted from the policy when it becomes
payable. In other words, they wished
him to pay back to the company, with
interest, all dividends he had received.
According to Truth he refused to agree
to this, and, as various other policy
holders were requested to do likewise,
the action Of the company hes aroused
considerable indignation among them.

Writing in October last from Auck-
land, the American Consul at that place
submits some statistics regarding New
Zealand wool, inasmuch as the matter
Of duty on that article had been brought
up before q Congressional committee.
The export from New Zealand during
the calendar year 1880 was SIS, SAG, 500
in value, against $15,O6O,97O for 1879;
the number Of sheep was Is, 126, 264,
against Il, 500, 911 for 1879. During the
first half of 1881 the quantity exported
declined a little from 1880, but the quail
ity and texture were much improved.
The Consul concludes his letter by ex-
pressing his opinion that the duty now
charged on New Zealand wool could be
modified with great practical advantage
to both countries, as the American mar
ket is now practically closed to the Aus
tralian grower, all New Zealand wool
which now comes to this country being
sent by way of Liverpool.

a writer in the Wilmington Dell
Egery EreHiHg suggests the consolidation
of Delaware, the nine Eastern Shore
counties of Maryland and the two East
ern Shore counties of Virginia into one
State. Editorially, the EUery Eoening is
not much impressed with the idea, and
says that the peninsula is destined to be-
come, from year to year, more distinctly
the kitchen garden of the great cities,
and that the wise farmers will for years
to come concern themselves more with
the extension Of railway lines throughout
their little territory than with effaciDg
the imaginary boundary lines that now
mark It's three political divisions.

Last years record of railway casualties
in this country, according to railroad
journal, compared most unfavorably
with the records of preceding years. So
far as can be ascertained there were
during 1881 a total of 1,458 acct
dents, causing loss of life in Ala cases,
and more or less serious injury to 1 ,597
persons. One reason for the large num-
Der of casualties is given as the severity
of the weather in the earlier part of 1881.
Accidents resulting from collision num-
bered 536 as against 437 in 1880. OF
this number $3.50 were what are known
as ''rear" collisions. and were due TO the
sudden increase in the large number of
trains run on many Of the roads. Derail-
ments caused accidents in S57 cases.
These were divided as follows: Broken
rails in IS cases, loose or spread rails in
90 cases, broken bridges or trestles in Al
cases, broken wheels in SO cases, broken
axles in 90 cases, misplaced switches
in s5 cases, cattle on the track in 40
cases, accidental distractions in IS cases,
and malicious obstruction in 10 cases. In
$40 cases there was no explanation to be
given for the cause of derailment. These
derailment accidents, it is noted, caused
the greatest amount of injury to the
person, the record being 995 cases
against SOS due to collision. The latter,
however, were more fatal to life, and
caused 200 deaths against the 100 which
followed derailment accidents. 1t will be
seen from the above list that the mis-
placement of switches which ought to be
preventable occurrence if sufficient
care and caution were exercised, caused
exactly as many accidents as were due
to the accidental breaking of track rails.

The protective German Government
has hit upon a brilliant idea. 1t has
been decided that hereafter American
hams packed in canvas and sent to Ger
many are to be regarded and taxed as
cotton goods. The German Government
must have heard that the protectionists
in this country claim that cotton ties are
sold as cotton, and concluded that hams
cased in canvas are just as much cotton
as is the iron around cotton bale.
