THESE are hard days for the country mail
carriers, and the carrier on the Vancouver
and Kalama route has had more than his
share Of difficulties to contend with. Hav-
ing plenty Of grit and endurance he has not
yet missed trip, though compelled to
travel through flood and stream as best he
might, often in the darkness of night, and
even travelling all night on the Kalama end
of the route. No man could do his duty

Georgia Not 70 be Mahonelzed.

Major Burke, who is well posted on
Louisiana politics, said the other day
that there is no truth in the story that he
proposes to organize a new independent
party, and that the Louisiana Democrats
viii not permit a Malone movement to
be thrust upon the State. He further
said; The people will bury repudia-
ton when they get another chance. Re
pudiation means twenty-five cents an
acre for their lands, no factories, few
railroads, no immigrants; in fact, a set
back Of twenty years more in our de-
veIopment, ard after the people of the
country think Of these things they will
throw the demagOgues aside. The i'm
prOvement in value of the timber lands
of Louisiana in the past twelve months
would pay the entire debt of Louisiana
The cOlored people cling to their party
tenets on finances, and would not vote
for reputation. The people Of the
State are not interested in who is to
have the State and Federal offices, so no
issue could be made on that ground"
What is said by Major Burke of the
prospects Of MahOnizing Louisiana may
be said with equal truth of the prospect
in Georgia. Outside of a little ring of
political Micawbers and sOrebelds, who
hope to better their chances for Office by
whatever may turn up. there is no dis
organizing spirit in this St'te, and any
attempt to disrupt the Democratic party
by utilization with Radicalism will prove
a most humiliating failure. There
is much wind-wOrk going on just
now, the object of which is to
create an impression in Washington that
Georgia presents a fine field for the ex-
ercise Of government patronage as a
means of splitting the solid South. "
There is no ground for any such hope
on the part Of our opponents, and if the
administration is deluded into making
the experiment it will realize in the end
that it has made a sad waste Of its pow
ers Of corruption. The true Democracy

cit is gratifying to observe, remarks
the st. Louis Republican, that the IN
telligent fnanciers of the country who
are not tainted with the single gold
standard monomania are unanimous in
opposing any movement that contem-
plates the withdrawal of the silver GER
tifcates. We have no other paper
money in this country so entirely in ac-
cord with the principles of a sound f1nan-
cial system. and it would be a very grave
error to make a back step towards the
policy of irredeemable fiat money by
Withdrawing the silver certificates.
The silver certificate is the very
perfection of paper currency, in the
fact that it is represented dollar for
dollar by the actual coin, while neither
national bank notes nor greenbacks have
such a backing. They are in volume
greatly in excess of the actual coin
which is available for their redemption,
while the local paper currency should be
represented dollar for dollar by coin.
With that sort of backing initiation is
impossible, and without it initiation is
inevitable and only matter of degree. !"

The Vienna theatre fire has had a
much more disastrous effect on the
drama in Europe than in this country.
While, perhaps, some Of our people
have been alarmed to such an extent as
10 feel a little nervous at first, the grand
mass Of theatre goers IN this country do
not appear to have been troubled in the
least, and audiences are as large as ever.
In London it Is different. Ever since
the fire panic has prevailed. The best
talent plays to empty houses, aad bust
ness is so bad that unless SC means
can be discovered to restore ne public
confidence in the safety of the London
theatres, there will be a great many
crashes in the theatrical world Of that
great city.

The Republican organs now declare
that Congress will at once proceed to
destroy Mormon polygamy. That Re
publican threat was made twenty years
ago, yet the MOrmons have been defying
the government and insulting Federal
officials ever since and the Republican
party has done nothing. The Assistant
United States District Attorney of Utah
spends his time writing columns for the
Eastern newspapers discussing the mi
quities of MOrmOnism, but nobody ever
heard that he has attempted to enforce
the Federal law against bigamy. The
Federal officials IN Utah seem to be IN
der the heels of the Mormon hierarchy.

The current issue Of the RGilsc1y Age.
published in Chicago. presents review
of the railway construction during the
past year, some extracts from which will
not be found uninteresting. According to
the Age, the year 1881 has been especially
notable for the enormous extent and
rapidity of railway construction of the
United States, although it opened with a
very severe winter, and snow aud frosts,
protracted into the spring, delayed the
commencement of operations in large
part of the country. During the summer
and fall also railway work in the West
was retarded by an excess Of rain and
mud, yet figures show that track has
been laid on two hundred and fifty-eight
different lines-although not by as many
different companies-anda already aggre-
gates no less than 8,242 miles. This is
much the largest mileage ever con-
structed in any one year. that for
1880 being given by Poor's
Manual at 7,147 miles, which in turn
was far greater than the mileage added
IN any previous year except in 1871,
when it reached 1879 miles. Allowing
for returns yet to be received, the Age
believes it 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" New York stands
fifteenth in the list by States, having in
creased fifteen lines by total distance
of 2231 miles. Texas leads with 1, All
miles. Colorado is next, with about 500
miles, of which not less than $40 are
officially reported as laid by the enter
prising narrow gauge railway company,
the Denver and Rio Grsnde. This com
pany built during the year no less than
ten different lines or portions of lines.
Iowa comes next, with nearly
500 miles, and Dakota and Ohio
also show thus far between 400
and 500 miles. Indiana, Illinois
and New Mexico appear to have added
between 300 and 400 miles. The work
of railway extension has been carried on
in forty-twO States and Territories,
Rhode Island is at the bottom of the list,
with one and quarter miles of new
track. Vermont laid two miles. The
only States in which no new track is re-
ported laid are Connecticut and Della
ware, and the only Territories thus dis
tinguished are Idaho, Indian Territory
and Utah, although it is probable that a
few miles were laid in the latter. Alaska,
of course, does not come into this cate
CORY. The narrow gauge makes no in
significant showing in the list of railway
mileage constructed in 1881. Of the
25S different lines thus far reported to
be built during the year, no less than
ty-three, or over II per cent, were of
three-feet gauge, and of the 8,24O miles
of new track which we already report,
400 miles, or about IA per cent. were
of that gauge

If one-tenth of the ''Irish outrages"
reported from London newspapers have
occurred, the demonstration is complete
that the British Government, with all its
boosted power, is unable to protect
British subjects in the United Kingdom.
Fifty thousand soldiers are quartered in
Ireland-about as many troops as the
government had in the Afghanistan cam
paign-and yet, according to the govern
ment organs. the outrages still continue.
The situation is strikingly like that wit
messed in this country when the Repub-
licans tried to make an Ireland of the
South. They filled the Southern States
with bayonets, and continually declared
that there was no protection for Ameri-
can citizens. The fraud in the British
