mankind generally asserts itself af-
ter the riot Of speculation and ex-
citement, and in this case it will
probably eventually be decided that rail-
roads as conveniences for transpOr-
tation, are, from their very nature, subor-
dinate as feeders to, and not destroyers of,
the great natural water lines of communi-
cation established in the foundation of the
continents, for the benefcent purpose,
among others, of transportation. In con-
nection with these, our railroads, as auxil-
larry amendments to nature, will eventu-
ally form grand and complete system OF

Not Very Encouraging.

1t is not very encouraging to find every
move in the star route prosecutions dis
cussed chiefly in reference to its political
or personal bearings, and not at all as a
step in satisfying the demands of justice.
1t is time we heard the last of the sense
less babble about the intrigues in the Gar
field Cabinet to save Dorsey, and of the
alleged lack of earnestness which the
Postmaster General and the Attorney
General brought to the original
pursuit of the star route gang.
Whatever has been wanting either in
resolution or energy in the conduct OF
these cases is certainly not chargeable
to Mr.. James, and we see no reason to
believe that it is in any way due TO Mr..
MacVeagh. But it is clear that the best
amends which can be made for lost time
and neglected opportunities is to urge
with all the power at the command Of the
administration the thorough, unfaltering,
and impartial prosecution of all the men,
bers of all the combinations for star route
plumber. The political relations of the
Salisburys to the President should have
as little weight for or against them as the
relations of District Attorney Corkhill to
a Justice of the Supreme Court should
have in determining the question of his
removal from office.

How Shoe Consumers are Robbed.
Ee,r York World

Before Mr.. Frelinghuysen finally makes
up his mind to link the fortunes of Presi-
dent Arthur with those of Mr.. Blaine in a
joint struggle to maintain a tariff for the
protection of mOnopOlies, we affectionate-
" advise him at least to glance over the
following extract from the dOings of the
Massachusetts convention. The annual
message of the President will be laid be-
fore Congress on Monday next, but there
is still time to consider such pregnant
matter as this:
1.New business being next in order, Mr.
Davis. of Lynn, improved the opportunity
to speak of the monster monopoly which
greatly affected the trade, referring to the
manufacture of shoe tacks and nails.
On the former, be said, there was 100 per
cent. profit realized by the manufacturers,
and so per cent. on the latter 5noe-nalls
have advanced TO an unreasonable price,
Nails are a large item in the cost OF shoes,
Tacks can be sold for Is cents at a pront;
but when they are sold for 80 cents IL Is an
imposition. Small competitors in the
of nails cannot COM
pete with the larger ones;
thev are crushed out Of existence
by the mighty combination in this country
formed against them. No individual can

fight this monopoly, but the association
might. The nails are cheaper In England,
but they cannot be imported on account
of the excessive tariff upon them. One
man in this vicinity will have to pay
So. 900 more a year for shoe nails owing to
the advance. while another firm will pay
fully $50. 900 more. The monopoly had eX-
pended over $4,000 to secure all rights.
The appointment of committee to ascer-
tain if shoe manufacturers could supply
their own nails was suggested"

Underground Wires in Chicago,

fessOr Barrett yesterday, speaking of the

recently witnessed in Philadelphia. at
was highly satisfactory, Telegraph, tele-
phone and electric light wires were placed
side by side and operated perfectly"
''Do you think it is feasible to carry
into effect the ordinance requiring that all
wires in Chicago shall be put under
ground on the first of next Mayp
There is not particle of doubt of it.
l have maintained it all along, and | am
more than ever convinced of it now"
Upon what terms do the Philadelphia
company propose to put in their system" p
''They claim to be able to do it for an
annual charge for each wire equal to the
cost ofmaintaining it overhead, if guaran-
teed to them for a term of years. Their
conduits would be run either in the gut
ters or under the sidewalks. When a
large number of wires are to be put in a
conduit, it should be built large enough to
admit of passage through it so as to re-
pair the wires, but where there were only
a few wires the size would not need to be
so great"

The Particular Sin of the FOrty-seventh
Congress.

The particular sin Of the FOrty-seventh
Congress, on which the people have just
placed the brand of censure, was the fail
ure of the majority, during the recent long
session, to meet the great question of tax
ton manfully, and make an honest effort
to mitigate and equalize the public bur-
den.
The miserable farce Of pretending to re-
lieve the people by shaving off thin slice
of taxes, and selecting for this sham re-
lief such items as perfumeries, cosmetics,
patent medicines and bank checks,
was too transparent a humbug to
deceive anybody. The demand was
for tightening up on the necessaries of
life, the goods that the poor are compelled
to buy every day, and the enormous taxes
on which do not 90 into the Treasury, but
into the dividends of corporations. The
ridicule poured on that contemplate little
fraud in speeches made in Congress and
on the stump was more than any party
could bear up under. The contrast be-
tween what was demanded and what was
offered was so great that the people felt
the insult and made it the special object of
their resentment.

The agricultural report for November
from the bureau at Washington puts down
the Weld per acre Of corn as 81 bushels in
Nebraska, SO in Maine, 32.5 in Kansas and
- in Missouri. But as there are but few
acres cultivated in Maine the yield there
nor acre is the result of manuring and

Missouri stands third in the column, with
only half bushel per acre advantage for
Kansas and two bushels advantage In Ne
braska. The other States range from 81
bushels per acre down to 10 bushels. The

their production are the following: Hi

Judge Monroe, in the Civil District
Court at New Orleans on Wednesday, rem
dered an elaborate decision in the John
Burnside succession. He decreed that
the legitimate heirs of the defendant, and,
in default of such heirs, the State of Louis
lana. be recognized as entitled to all
money and property bequeathed by him
to persons who may have died before he
did: that Oliver Beirne be recognized as
the residuary legatee, and in that capacity
as entitled to the residue of the estate left
by Burnside at his death, after deducting
the aggregate amount of the legacies in
the will which were susceptible of execu-
ton at the time of Burnsidc's death, as
well as those which may have lapsed by
reason of the death of the particular lega-
tees, and that Oliver Beirne be further re-
cognized as the testamentary executor,
and that in said capacity he proceed with
the administration of the succession: The
particular legacies lapsed by reason OF the
death Of the legatees amount, as shown by
the evidence introduced in the case, to
$13s,000. The Burnside estate is, by lib
eral estimate, valued at about $5,OOO,OOO,
including half dozen of the best sugar
plantations in louisiana

Why This Discrimination?

1t is notable that more than 80 per cent.
of the negroes over ten years old in North
ern States are unable to write, whereas
the number of whites over ten years old
unable to write amount to less than per
cent. There is much talk about discrimi-
nation against the negroes in the South in
the matter of education. But what is the
explanation of this difference of illiteracy
between the races in the Northern States,
where the school systems are old and ma
tured and the school funds ample? The
per cent. of illiteracy among the negroes
in the old free States is six times as great
as among the whites, whereas it is less
than three times as great in the old slave
States. What might be the fair inference
as to what the educational condition of
the negro would be if the race were as
numerous in the North as in the South?

A Mistake or a UsurpatiOn.

A Democrat must regard a protective
tariff as mistake and piece of usurpa-
ton. He must be in favor of cutting off
every subsidy that the tariff grants, which
can be cut off without deranging an i'm
pOrtant industry, and he must be opposed
to adding to the number Of subsidized in
dustries on any preteXt whatever. In a
word, he must be in favor of tariff for
revenue only, as nearly as such tariff
can be attained in the actual condition of
his country, under the disadvantages i'm
posed by a Republican tariff for prOtec-
ton. If. like Senator Voorhees,, he is in
favor of protective tariff, and believes it
to be a good and constitutional thing and
wishes to see it maintained indefinitely,
then, whatever else he may be, he is GER
tainly not Democrat.

Governor Foster, of Ohio, wants an ex-

the Democrats an earlier opportunity to

would embrace such an opportunity, and
he reasons from himself to others. When
the opportunity does not come in his case,

have learned something, and says: ''It
will not be safe to presume forever that
Democrats in power must necessarily be

1t would be a very excellent idea for the
Republicans to adopt the statement and
confession recently made by the King Of
COrea and then retire to private life. The
Kings confession fits the Republican
party exactly. He said:
Il have been for seventeen years at the
head of the nation, although ! was want
ing in ability. My administration has
been failure, and abuses have arisen in
the government through my fault. l re-
pent, but it is too late. Since l occupied
the throne | have made many improve
ments in roads and other things, but both
rich and poor have had to suffer under the
burden. This is my sin. l have often
altered the currency and sacrificed the in
terests of the people. This is my sin.
have wasted the revenue. This is my sin.
Bribery has been carried on publicly. The
complaints of the victimized have not
reached my ear. This is my sin. The

ness of the people ruined. This is my sin,
am ashamed to come before the people
again. | will purify my mind and repent

give it up because the charge for its re-

barons. Enjoying inOrdinate protection,
they claim that the bare prospect of a re-
ductiOn of duties paralyzes their bus;-
ness. If the need Of it continues, the
cheaper iron and steel the more will be
