The year just closed has been one of the
most remarkable on record in the mat
ter of railroad construction. OF new
track, S242 miles were laid, which is
1908 miles more than were laid in 1880,
a year in which the railroad construction
mileage of the United States exceeded
that of any previous twelve months ex-
cept those of 1871, when the figures
were 1879 The Chicago Rail,oay Ags,
which has been carefully gathering the
statistics, says that, allowing for returns
to be received, it is safe to estimate that
the track laid in the United States in
1881 will prove to have been very little
if any less than 5000 miles, or enough to
lay triple track from Philadelphia to
San francisco.

One word serves to recall the means
which brought Chester A. Arthur to the
White House--the pistol-shot of "a
stalwart of the stalwarts." He is literally
Guiteaus President. If these words bear
any offensive significance when coupled
with the name of Mr.. Arthur it will be
when his acts shall give them the meaning.
The assassin boasts to-day, as he has
done from the first, that he aimed to re-
store faction of the Republican party
to national power Who can deny that
the anti Garfield wing rule at Washing
ton to-day-that Cameron, Robson
and Logan WELD new and autocratic
sway? They owe it to the removal OF
Garfield, who was elected Pre- esident by
the votes of the people of the United
States. .-,Sprinafeld Republican, Qnd.)

The superintendent of the railway
mail service has issued circular to the
division superintendents in which he
says: I'm view of the prevalence of
smallpox throughout the country at the
present time, you are instructed in every
case where report is made to you in
regard to the matter with the request
that mail communication be suspended
between the infected localities and
others, to take necessary action at once
without waiting to consult this Office
This is necessary in order that the de
partment shall not In any way be respon'
sible for spreading any contagious dis
eases.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-01-27

The executive committee of the nation
al board of health has declared smallpox
to be epidemic in the United States. An
order was made directing an inspection
of several of the most important quaran-
tine districts in the country in order to
determine if the rules and regulations of
the board, approved by the president
November IA, 1881, are being properly
enforced. An appropriation of $4,000
was made for the purpose of preventing
the introduction of disease in the Dir
trict of Columbia.

Miss Anna Dickinson appeared as
Hamlet, in Rochester, last week, and did
not achieve success. Few of the large
dailies have any favorable comments,
and the New York Sun and Herald are
severely condemnatory. Miss Dickinson
is without doubt woman Of much abili
ty and force of character, but she has
delayed until too late in life her appear
ance on the stage.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-01-27

A bill has been introduced into the
New York Legislature providing that
all railroad companies in the state shall
heat their cars by steam or hot water
within ninety days from the passage of
the act. Noncompliance with the pro-
visions of the act is made misdemean-
or punishable by fine not exceeding
$4,000 nor less than $4,000 1t
would be well if similar law were en-
acted in every State of the Union. The
dangers of railroad travel are enhanced
by the probability that the cars will take
fire from overturned stoves and burn to
death the hapless passengers. The recent
accident on the Hudson river railroad
resulting in the death of Webster Wag-
ner, a State Senator, caused the presen-
tation of the bill in the New York legis
lature, but other lives, as valuable to the
community as his, are daily exposed TO
danger on railroad trains. Stoves ought
TO be sbolished on the cars and public
opinion will compel the rai'r, al compan-
los to adopt some better plan of heating.

An ordinance has been introduced in.
to the Select Council of Philadelphia 10
sell the gas works now owned by the
city. The Press warmly advocates the
plan and the better class of the citizens
will endorse it. The Gas Trust as now
misused is fraught with danger being
nothing more than political machine.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-01-27

W. II. English, Democratic candidate
for Vice President in 1880, retires from
politics with the following touching re-
mark: 81 do not intend hereafter to be
bled by political adventurers or dead
beats Of either high or low degree" This
declaration will not create so great sur
prise as the knowledge of the fact that
he ever had been bled by anybody.

Our esteemed cotemporary, Congress
man Musgrove, of the Keystone State,
comes up smiling with the champion
pension bill, for the relief of Union SOL
diers in rebel prisons. 1t is estimated
that under this bill it would cost $3.50,
100000 to catch up and start even, and
about $2s,OO0,0OO year thereafter. A
mild ''hooray" for Musgrove.-Philo.

The commissioner of the general land
Office has completed new map of the
United States. 1t exhibits all the public
land surveys, completed railroads, mil
itary reservations and much other val.
liable information. This map is pro
nounced to be the most accurate piece
of work of this kind yet issued. All OF
the geographical positions and distances
are based upon astronomical data OBJ
tanned from government and private OBJ
seryatiOns.

What is the use of State Canvassing
Board, to make formal announcement of
the result of an election, at an expense of
nearly $1,000? That is what the people
had to pay last week, to haye the No
vember vote computed. All the returns
could be sent to the Secretary of State
and he could make due proclamation of
the result. It's dead waste of money
like thousand and one o.her things
of the kind at Harrisburg.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-01-27

The Republican organs always praise
Democrats for endorsing a Republican
candidate for Office, but no terms are too
severe for them in denouncing Republi-
cans who propose to endorse Democrat.
It's mighty poor rule that only works
one way.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-01-27

1t is now alleged that the frightful
disaster on the Hudson river railroad
was caused by one of party of drunken
Legislators pulling cord attached to the
automatic brake. If the man who did
this knows of his act, his future will
have plenty of misery for him.

Hon. Clarkson N Potter, died at his
residence in New York city on Monday

Alonzo Potter and was born in Schenec
tady in 1925. He studied law and soon
attained a high reputation. He was
elected representative from New York
to the Forty first congress and served for
eight years, retiring in 1870. Mr.. Potter

his death will be keenly regretted.
