the roads with which am connected are
not only excellent at this time, but in fact
better than they have ever been
before. For the last two
or three months they have
been fully equal to the returns of 1880,
and long way ahead of the returns of
1881. What possible interest, then, can 1
have in railroad wars at the Northwests
The trunk lines have settled all their diff
culties and left their interests for adjust
ment in the hands of impartial and honor
able men perfectly competent to take
charge of them and see the right thing
done on all hands, such as Mr.. Fink and
Mr.. Chas. Francis Adams. That closes the
era of railway wars for me. When the
trunk roads were at war these roads that
you are speaking of, lying beyond at
the Northwest, took no part
in our wars; their stocks
were not affected by our wars at all; they
managed their own matters in their own
way there, just as we manage our matters
in our way now. I say, why should our
interest be affected by any differences of
theirs?',
Mr.. Vanderbilt was reminded that ship
pers and the public, or people who assume
to speak for the public, are here and there,
charging that he is deep " interested in
certain great ranches at the west, and that
therefore he is involved in this north
western war in a contest over the rates of
carriage as between dressed beef and beef
on the hoof.
:. Nonsense" was the reply, ssthat is
datail of railway business which is
necessarily left to competent managers.
Why lug me into such question? If
there is fight, it is a fight between the
parties interested the shippers of dressed
beef and the shippers of beef on the hoof.
have no interest in such fights. Ihave
nothing whatever to do with ranches, great
or small, at the West or anywhere else, or
with cattle on or off the hoof-no more.,
said Mr.. Vanderbilt, laughing, s'as the peo-
pie say, than big dog. As a matter of
fact, have for the last year attended very
little to railroad business in any shape or
way. have hardly been to my Offices here
three times in the last twelve months.
This story" said Mr.. Vanderbilt, after a
pause, sis like scores of others that are
constantly appearing in the papers about
me, which show that somebody must take
great deal of trouble to manufacture
news about me. I don't for a moment
suppose any respectable journalist to be
capable of circulating stories about me or
any man without supposing himself to
have some sort of authority for them, but
really am at a loss to conceive who can
be in any way responsible for stories about
me, which absolutely have not shadow OF
truth in them. What good object can pos
sibly be secured by such stories?''

A TYPICAL CASE.

The case of Nearny, who is charged
with deserting his wife and family and
eloping with another woman, is in some
respects sufficiently typical to afford a
useful illustration. 1t appears that this
man is skillful mechanic, and that he
has always been able to command work
at good wages. He had wife and FIVE
children, and it was his duty, and should
have been his chief pleasure also, to pro-
vide for them, to make a comfortable home
for them, and to play the part of sober
and industrious citizen. But he became
infected with the disease called K earneyism.
He frequented the San Francisco
ward clubs, and found that he could talk
freely, and that his style of talking
pleased his associates. Then he was
seized with political ambition. Doubtless
he believed that he was fitted for some
high office. Probably he looked forward
to elevation at ths hands of the working
men. He became Sandlot orator. He
neglected his work, his wife, and his chill
dren. They were forced to take refuge in

KEEPING UP THE DISPUTE.

The London Standard appears deter
termined to keep alive the Isthmus ques-
tion, and to work it 'for all that it is
"worth." 1t belabors Mr.. Blaine in the
most severe and merciless way, and in
deed wastes much good writing in demon
strating, what all intelligent people real.
lied long ago, namely, that the late
Secretary made very unlucky blunder
when he forgot the existence of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. The Standard, how.
ever, does make one strong and new point,
and it is that if the treaty for the neutrali-
zation of the Isthmus canal is abrogated,
England will be compelled, in regard for
her own interests, to blockade the canal in
the event of war; \; so that the very opposite
results to those desired by Mr.. Blaine
would be almost certain TO flow from the
success of his policy. We do not see how
this point is to be net. If the cancelling
of the Clayton Bulwer treaty is to be in.
sisted upon, OF course England will be left
to do as she pleases in the event of war,
and it cannot be doubted that In that
event she would consider it necessary to
do the very thing which she cannot do
while the treaty is in existence. 1t re-
mains, however, to be ascertained what

Blaine,

A SUN" FALsEHoop.

The New York San has been particu.
lsrly malignant and unscrrpulous defamer
of ex-senator Sargent. In pretending to
explain why it calls him Effgy Sargent" /"
it prints falsehood of Characteristic
kind. 1t says "The incendiaries who
created stuffed Sargent and burned it
in public place were his own constitu-
"ents." Now this is lie. The facts of
the case are as follows: Congressman Ward
introduced mining bill which, through a
mistake of press or telegraph, was credited
to Sargent. The bill was obnoxious to the
miners of Eureka, Nevada, and they it was
who burned Mr.. Sargent in efigy for an
offense which he had not committed. To
say that be was burned by "his own con.
stituents, . and to imply that he did some
thing which justified such burning in
efhgy, is to psrpetrate the meanest and
basest kind of libel, and that is what the
Sun has done in this case. But when his
enemies are driven to concoct such rascally
fables as this for the purpose of iniuring
him, it is very sufficient proof that they
have no just ground of opposition to his
appointment

GUITEAU's SPEECH.

The Associated Press has kindly for.
warded Guiteaus views in regard to his
speech, and has enabled the public gener-
ally to read that effort. 1t is no doubt an
exceedingly foolish affair, in fact mere
rehash of all the impudent and silly things
the prisoner has been saying since the trial
began. We do not, however, think that
there is in it any conscious endeavor to
exhibit imbecility. We are more convinced
of Guiteau's insanity than ever, after read
ing it. That he is insane, we have been
satisfied for long time, and all these repe-
titions and all these bursts of inordinate
vanity serve to confirm our belief on that
head. There is certainly a sort of low cum
ming and astucity in the man, and this is
frequently found in madmen. He has a
magpie shrewdness and quickness, but all
his ideas and views are extremely super
fetal. He has supposed throughout the
trial that his manners were influencing the
jury favorably, and this belief is another
evidence of his mental alienation. We
have no doubt that he really re-
CARDS this speech as what he called
it, namely, "equal to one OF Cicero's. :"
To say that such man can be sane strikes
us as an abuse of language. The foolish
legal doctrine of insanity, however, has led
to the setting up of the theory of his
sanity as the sole alternative with acquit-
tai. The scientific and rational view would
be that the man is at the same time insane
and responsible. That he has known all
along the full consequences and implica-
tions of what he was doing, and that there.
forehe ought to be held to precisely thesame
accountability as though he had been en-
tirely sane. We do not think his speech
was worth the cost of transmission, but it
may be of some service in showing the
actual condition Of his mind, though it cer-
tainly ought not to make anyone less
desirous of seeing him promptly found
guilty OF murder in the first degree, and as
promptly taken out and hanged.
