A Superb Gift.

Senator Brown, Of Georgia. has made dona-
ton of $4,000 to the University Of Georgia, to
be known as the "Charles Mcdonald Brown
Scholarship Fund" being money that his said
son would have inherited from his fatbere
estate if lie had lived. The interest of this
fund ($3,500) is to- be used in educating indi-
gent young men in the University and the COL
icgc at Dahloncga, by way Of loan to tn I'm,
which they are to repay as they become aBle,,
after acquiring their education.
The people OF Georgia are TO be primarily
the bcnefciaries Of this fund, although it is
provided thut the students getting the benefits Of
the fund at Dahlonega are to be selected under
regulations made by the board of trustees from
the mountain counties Of Northeast Georgia
and the counties of 0tonee, pickens and nder-
son, South Carolina, embracing tho counties Of
Senator Browns birth and boyhood, and tho
county Of Anderson, where the first money was
loaned him to aid in his education,
It will be remembered that Governor Brown
made q donation Of $4,000 to the Baptist
Theological Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky,
sometime ago,
These munifcent gifts will be highly oher..
ished and long remembered by grateful people;
especially as thoy come from one who is The
architect of his own fortunes. and who besides
las filled with distinguished ability and fidelity
nearly every position in the gift Of the people.

enterprise to n degree surprising to those
acquainted with the South before the war;
The wheat crop was phenomnully large this
year, and the cotton crop, though 20 days
behind, will bo above the average. The OK.
tension Of Southern railroads was commented
upon by tho Bishop. Cool effects are also
apparent, he says, from tho development Of

Southern products. The dc7astatio. :by tho
spring floods have made the abundant croos

Ask your Druggist for BRowN'S
IRON BITTERs, and take no other.
One trial will convince you that it
Is just what you need.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-12-20

In tie four months first named the roads
transported eastward 1,006,S0 tons of freight,
and in the other four months ,OS5,97S tons,
larger quantity. But in the first four months
the earnings were $7226,791, and in the sec
ord series of months the earnings were only
$2,410,916. If we assume that the bare cost
of transportation and maintenance OF property,
without any interest or dividends for capital, is
only So per ton from Chicago to New York-an
estimate which all will admit is too low, for it
is only 10 cents per 100 pounds-even then the
roads earned for interest on capital invested
ONLY $23S.960 in the second period of four
months, and 1928, 1873 in the first period. If
the estimate of bare cost is placed higher it APP
pears that the roads not only transported
freight during the second period without
profits for capital, but at an actual loss, whilo
the difference between the profitable and I'M
profitable months remains the same-about
So 100000.
What right have railroad managers to play
tricks with the property intrusted to their
charge, after such a fashion as this Judged
by its earnings, this vast property was rem
dered valueless for eleven months out OF the
forty -seven, and yet the same managers proved
that they had power TO earn, and actually did
earn, with the same property, from $9,OOO,OOO
to $1O,OOO,O0O tor capital, in excess of all
costs of transportation, in one OF these years.
The charge that speculation by railroad man
ayers is at the bottom of nearly all troubles in
transportation seems to have some foundation.
Stockholders and bondholders have the right
to ask whether railroad wars made for the pur-
pose of rendering stocks comparatively value
less are not contrary to public policy. The
public has reason to inquire, too, whether the
violent fluctuations in rates, which railroad
managers find excuse for making when they
want to buy or to sell stocks, cannot be pre-
rentnd.

SOME sENATORJAL CONTESTS.

The sessions of several State Legislatures
promise to be enliv sned this winter by ami
mated contests for the succession to seats i'll
the United States Senate. Ii the preliminary
manervring tor position is an index, the aspir-
ants are preparing for a Struggle that in many
cases will be long and bitter. Much greater in
dependence of action will doubtless be wit
messed in most of the contests and less alacrity
i'm abiding by the decisions of the party caucuses
The leniency with which independent voting
at the late elections has been treated has em-
boldened legislators with the belief that they
can venture outside of party lines without dan
ger of being ostraclzed. The political upheavsl
in November also evidenced a strong desire
among the people for a new class of men and
dissipated the sentiment that certain Offices
were the property Of certain men as long as they
chose to hold them. These elements are GER
tain to play An important part in the Senatorial
struggles to be decided during the next few
months
One of the most interesting of these contests
will occur in Massachusetts. The struggle for
the seat of Senator HOar will be the hardest
fought Senatorial battle that the State has wit
messed in many years, and 1t will involve more
than the success or defeat of any one man. Sen
ator HOar hf made an admirable legislator, and
his record while in Congress is LnasSailabe ex-
cepJ upon one point. His vote for the River
and Harbor bill in the last session forms the
basis for the principal charge his enemies have
to bring against him. They claim that the peo-
pie at the late election pronounced against
every Senator and Representative who aided in
passing this bill, and that the Legislature ought
not to disregard verdict so Enthusiastically OK
pressed. On the otter hand, MI. HOar's friends
assert that the hostility to him springs from
the determined fight he has made against But
lerism in the Republican party, and that the
River and Harbor bill is only used as pretext.
HIS defeat, they say, would mean that the But
Ter elemen is hereafter to control the organiza-
ton. The contest is sure to be a warm one and
will bring into action all the latent political forces
in the State Ii is likely to prove also more
than a passing commOtion, and it may be the
entering wedge which will permanently sep
arate the Butler Republicans from the party. 1t
il undeniable that there are good many in
the organization who are willing to east their
political fortunes into the Butler pool, and it
only needed the success the General Won last
month to give them the courage necessary to
avow their purpose. The progress of this con-
test will be closely watched by the country
aud the success of Senator Hoar will be hailed
with satisfaction by all lovers of pure politics.
while his defeat will be taken a proof that
the poison of Butlersm has tainted the springs
of public life in Massachusetts.

succeed Senator Saunders. These four Sena-
torial contests are the most interesting OF
those which will engage the attention OF the
Legislatures controlled by the Republicans.

THE CURTIS DECISION.

The Supreme Court Justice Bradley dissent
ing) has confirmed the conviction OF Generai
Newton NJ. Curtis for violating the law pro-
bIbiting officers and employees OF the Federal
Government from exacting political assess
ments from each other. The opinion vindl-
Gates both the consttutionality and the expe-
dency of the law AS to the constitutional
question. II declares that Congress has power to
regulate the conduct OF officers and employees OF
the Government as far as may be necessary to Sc
cue a pure and efficient public service, and re-
cites a long list of acts, dating from the very or
ganizatlon of the Union, in which the power has
been exercised: two in 1883, forOlddlng
Treasury officials to be engaged in commerce,
or to deal in the-public property OF securities J
one in 1912, forbidding Federal judges to
practise law; one i'll 1858, restricting officers
from acting as clam agents; one in 1863, re-
strainng Congressmen from practising in the
Court of Claims; one in 1867, fOrbiddinG
political assessments on wJTkmen III the navy
yards one In 1868, against Congressman
taking interest in Government contracts; one
in 1870, against presentations to officers and
others The purpose of such laws is pro-
nOunced clearly within the Legislative power.
AS to the expediency of the law, its tendency to
protect the public servants against unjust ex-
actions is declared not It's only recommends
ton. If refusal to pay assessments may be Il
reason for putting good men out of the service,
liberal payments may be made the ground for
keeping poor ones in, and for increasing their
salaries Thus at length the Treasury may be
made to pay the expenses of a political cam
paign for securing to the party i'll power
another term of Office.
Thus the law is fully sustained; but it is i'm
portant to remember that the law does not
profess to abolish all political assessments. Is
language is that executive officers or employees
of the United States not appointed Ivy the Pres
ident with the advice and consent of the
Senate are prohibited from requesting them.
Thus it does not restrict private persons; man
ayers of political campaigns not in tho employ
of the United States are free to ask for con-
trbulions 1t does not interfere with such
methods as those of Hubbell & Co., for Con-
gressmen Ia framing the law were careful to
leave themselves outside its operation they
are not executive officers employees. But
they will do well to ponder the decision, and
the outspoken popular disapproval of the past
assessments, and to amend and enlarge the law
40 that the whole system shall be rooted out.

RAILROAD WARS.

Most controversies have two sides. In the
controversies between the railroads and those
| who have sought to regulate" transportation
by National law, THE TRIBUNE has failed to
see good sense in the proposed eLactments
Some have been bluntly communistic, son G
merely spitefu, and many injudicious and dan.
geIous, though well-meant. But there is
another side to tie question. There are some
features of railroad management which ought
to be regulated or wholly suppressed, il it can
be- done without harm to public interests
greater than the evil which it Is sought to re-
move.
Last week there was issued from the Office of
Commissioner + ink a statement showing the
movement of freight eastward from Chicago.
during the past four years, and the rates
charged. Live stock is not included in the
statement of tonnage, nor any freight merely
local to the road receiving it; the tonnage is
given of all freight shipped each month from
Chicago to points at or beyond the eastern
termini OF the Lake Shore, the Michigan Cen
trai and Canada Southern, the Grand Trunk.
the Pttsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago. the
various connections of the former Atlantic
and Great Western to Salamanca, and the Bal
timore and Ohio to Parkersburg and Wheel
ing. This statement, though it does not in
clude the whole of east bound through freight,
practically and correctly represents the whole.
The rates given are those charged ON way
bills. AS the actual charges were much lower
during the railroad wars, the difference being
made up by rebates and other devices, The
Railroad Gazette holds it reasonable to allow
only 1884 cents per 100 pounds for the lowest
and largest class of freight Ia August, 1881,
l2l2 cents for the rest of that year, 10 cents
for January. 1884 cents for February and 17l2
cents for March. These, and the rates given by
Commissioner Flnk's Office, are the rates for
grain and -four, which form so large part of
the east bound through freight that the results
Of the whole eastward movement are thought
to be correctly indicated by assuming that the
entire tonnage eastward went through to New
York at the lowest rates.
Computations on this basis. not made by any
