Washington Letter.

washington, -. U. dec. 10th 1881.
Quite a number Of speeches were
spread on the record in the Senate
last week, and no less than 1900
bills were introduced in the House,
and nearly 900 in the Senate.
The speeches in the Senate were,
chiefly, on civil service reform, and
the subject of the presidents success
sion in case of the death or dlsabili-
ty of the regularly elected Execu.
tive. Senator Garland of Arkan.
sas, introduced a bill, the object of
which was to ensure the presidential
succession against such confusion as
was threatened on the death of Gar.
field, both the Senate and the House
being left without a head, and the
Vice-President alone standing be-
tween the chief magnistracy and
possible anarchy. Mr.. Garland's
bill proposing that the succession
shall lie in the Cabinet may be crude
and faulty, but if it shall have an
effect to call public attention to
the subject of the presidential
succession and election, it will
have done much good. Certainly,
in our system of Government, when
the sovereign prerogatives are vest
ed in the people, and are peremtori-
]y transferable every four years,
there should be most careful precau-
ton against ever imminent lapses.
The American people have a great
and laudable respect for the institu-
tions Of the founders. Conserva-
tive sentiment acts like Westing.

to all thinking men that, the pat.
tern cut for a sea-coast population of
three millions, in a stage. coach and
turnpike era, will have to be en-.
larged t. fit fifty millions of people,
operating through steam and electri.
city, from ocean to ocean.
Mr.. Blaine retires, and Mr.. Ere.
linghuysen takes his place. The re.
firing premier has been severely
criticized fol- his South American
diplomacy. He has even been call.
ed ''rackety and journalistic in his
management Of our foreign affairs.
The difference between him and his
predecessor is that Mr.. Blaine has &
direct Blsmarckian way of doing
things, and has not, like Mr.. Evarts
sent encyclopedia dispatches. Thu
South American matter is of bur
little Importance, and it makes but
little difference to us who is recog
nized as president of either or an,
of those perpetual anarchies called
republics. But Mr.. Klaine's NOR,

Mankato Review: Chas. A. De.
Graft of the GAINESVILLE stock farm,
shipped to Chicago, this fall, some
three-year-old steers, which had
never been fed any grain or been
stabbed, and they sold for $142
each. The $40 covered the entire
cost of the cattle to him, including
freight, commission, ETC., and his
profits were 500 per head. These
steers were bred from grade COWS
and his thorough bred bull. They
were fattened on blue grass, which

PROTECTION AND WAGES.

We are rather surprised to ind our friend OF
the Anterican Manufacturers of Pittsburg, ad-
hitting that, according to the consular reports
made to the state department at Washington
the operatives in the English cotton factories
receive about the same wages that are paid to
the same class of employees in Massachusetts,
a little further investigation would have
shown him that the same holds good with ref
eccnce to the operatives in the various IRON in.
dustres of the two countries and that as To
shipping, the rproteCted operatives in the
various ship yards of this country are actually
of the yards at Glasgow In truth, if our
Pttsburg friend would lay aside his prejudlces
he is otherwise honest enough-hc would
admit that protectlon-tarir cXactIons ami
lmposltions IN other wordS--havc nothing to-
do with WAGES. The facilities of travel and
transportation between this country and Eng.
land are such, that if a Manchester cotton
spinner is assured that he can earn two shil.
lings week more in Massachusetts than IN
Lancaster; or a Sheffield cutler that he can
earn TWO shllllngs more week in New York
than at home--it will take HIM butlwo weeks
to cross the salt pond and be here Wages IN
this country, in many lines of employment,
are doubtless kept up above the European
average by the facility with which men, who
fancy their pay as mechanics or operatives
insufficient, can fine more remuneratIve en-
ployment, as well as comparative indepen.

ing for gold and silver in the Rocky noun.
tans. Aside from cases like these, however
the wages of operatives IN this country and
the British empire must hereafter be subsan-
tally the same whether we or England, one
or both have protection or free trade The
gable ofthe protec,ionists about better wages
to the operatives in protected" industries is
played out.

with great positIveness, that the war of rates
between the trunk line railroads from Chi

100 lbsr pork and other commodities in pro.

One of the most audacious swindles we ever

One of the most audacious swindles we ever
read of has, according to the New York Sun,
been lately practlced upon the intelligent "bet,

dapper spruce young man, good looking and

house at the rate of two or three dollars doz.

seeds of the wash-rag plant, assuring his uupes
that the seed, after being planted two or three
days in dry soil, would develop into stout
stalk bearing red, white and yellow flower
of exquisite loveliness, and soon after, burst
ing into full bloom, a wash.rag of the finest
texture would appear, which could be used In
hot or cold water without injuring it and no
grease or dirt would adhere to it. And the
intelligent ladies OF Newark were abundantly
duped by a swlndler whom the children would
pelt with mud for his impudence In the rudest

There are no more single railroads in this

controlled by single corporation, very intel

system" includes several thousand miles, and
seems to touch every considerable city and
town, if not every mans farm, over a width of
nearly five degrees, or 800 miles, from Chicago
to the Rocky Mountains. 1t would, however,
be telling but halt the truth TO say that this
includes the whole of what may be properly
comprehendcd in the Burlington system"
Its connections are so close with the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe system" the Denver
and RIO Grande system, and half dozen of
other vast corporations all embraced in what
among railroad men Is known as the Boston
system" that one can really ride, or send
freight, under the protection OF the "Burling.

named eastward from Chicago to the Atlantic,
southwark to the Gulf, or westward to any
point on the Pacific from San Diego to Wash
ington territory. The Burlington SYSTEM
in It's most restricted sense, not only pervades
an empire, but through Its connections Its rami.
tications reach the uttermost parts of the
world.
We are induced to refer to this System"
however, not on account of its vastness so
much as some of its minor details in which the
ordinary traveller or business man is more I'm.
mediately interested The traveller, in these
days OF brisk railroad rivalry, insists on such
comforts as only few years ago were not
dreamed of, except at heavy extracost Then

Board of Supervisors, said plan being to pay
one Office $3.50, or about five prices, for print
ing few thousand copies OF the proceedings
in the form ofsupplements, and then to sponge
on the various newspaper publishers in the
county, and cheat the post office department,
to circulate these supplements gratuitously
through the mail to the subscribers of all such
papers. Very naturally the body OF the pub
lshers of the county secuted the impudent
levy. AS the Bulletin suggests, the Board
could easily have had such synopsis of its
proceedings as the law contemplates prepared
and published in all the papers IN the county,
for less money than was wasted on the foolish
"Hogc plan" and with vastly more satistac'
ton to the people.

seepers, with a cosy smoking room attached
and indeed on most railroads to-day such IS
still the case. But our Burlington system"
has taken a large step towards leveling such
distinctions. OF course 1t can't control the
Pullman monopoly and offers to such of its
passengers asO prefer Its exclusive comforts
their unrestricted use; but to passengers of
less exclusive ideas it offers without extra
charge its seductive reclining chairs, IN which
one can sleep as comfortably as If stretched on
a Pullman mattress and if he cares to indulge
in a fragrant five penny Cuba Connecticut
leaf instead OF being pOked forward into "a
den reeking with emlgrant filth, he can retire

Our own city OF Ottawa, during the past year,
has had occasion richly to realize thi, fact.
The gas works, the tile works, starch factory,
Touring mills and various glass works have
all been most generously favored by having.
