such patterns of railway manage
ment is no puzzle 10 account for the
superiority of the B. & o. over all
other through routes between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington and Cincinnati and st,
Louis. While occupying an incom-
parable position as regards the cities
named, the B. e O. enjoys equal dis
tinction as Chicago line, it owning,
controlling and operating every foot
of the route from the Atlantic to-
Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. 1t
is the only line running its trains
through from New York to Chicago
and Chicago to New York with alb.
solutely no change of cars whatever.
and it was the B. & O. that origina-
ted the term "solid' trains and in,
augurated the system. How success
full it has proved is indicated by the
imltators. THE Chicago Solid" as
this train has become known, has
recently had added superb new
dining car, which in roomy appoint
ments and novelties in the way of
tables, seats, etc., is unquestionably
the swell" dinner of the period.
Like the new and magnificent Sleep
erS, the dinner halls on the line and
everything else pertaining to the
road, the one company owns and
manages its own dining-car line con
Sequently there are no outside cor.
poratiOns to live upon passengers.
and the latter deal in every single
instance with the B. & O. The oldest
passenger railway in the world, the
B. u o can show a record for speed,
for safety, for prompt employment of
every new feature, and for satisfying
the public wholly unparalleled. In
the language of an enthusiastic West
ern admirer, at is the boss road, and
don't you forget it !"

The Situation.

The more closely the political stua-
ton in Maryland is studied the more
clearly does it appear that there is
nothing going on but arrangements
between rival leaders to secure the
outward semblances of harmony by
mutual concession, and with a view
to perpetrating the old abuses and
dividing the spoils among their re-
spective henchmen. 1t is not strange
then, that new deals and combina.
tions should be heard of from time to
time. To-day the most positive in
formation may come that the deal of
yesterday is broken, and that things
are fixed, and tomorrow come
the official actions that show a
startling change of program. But
through all these vicissitudes there
are two or three unchanging fac
tions. One of these is that each OF
the present leaders of the angles OF
the political triangle takes care OF
himself, and that whatsoever bar
gains are made have view to the in.
terests Of such leaders. Another is
that whatsoever combinations are
made are hostile to any genuine re-
form. These are two constants among
all the variable elements of the poIit-
zeal mathematics-the preservation
of the regular machines in the hands
of the regulars and opposition to re-

Free Trade Debated Hancock.

From the Winston IN. O. Leader, Dem.
Hancock was defeated solely be-
cause he was run on a platform that
declared fer "a tariff for revenue
only." If the tariff feeling is less
now, especially in the South, than 1t
was in 1880, we are badly mistaken
We tried Hancock under the most
favorable circumstances. Everything
conduced to his election, and he
would have been elected but for three
words-''for revenue only" They
killed him as dead as herring and
they will kill the next man whose
coat-tail they are pinned to. TiIden
represents the money bags. If that
is Democracy, he is the man to NOM
mate. But would it not be easier to
put up the Presidency at auction to
the highest bidder.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent.l

from our IIeSuldT COTTGSpOnuclll.l
NEW YORK, May 18th, 1883.
"The Republican party in Massa-
chusetts," said a leading politician of
that State to me, 'is stronger to-day
than it ever was, and il is still going
in unity of purpose and power of
execution. We have to thank Gov
ernor Butler for this, for his efforts
to bully and browbeat that party
have awakened an opposition which
is as determined as it is powerful, and
ere long the doughty General with
his never missing button hole bouquet
will be surprised to notice its strength.
Moreover the readiness with which
he is prepared to besmirch the good
name of the State or any Of her insti-
buttons simply to raise himself has
filled every honest thinking man
with disgust, gand is bound to bring
him down."
The Legislature at Albany has at
last adjourned, and of course left
scores of important bills unattended
to, while large number of pernicious
so.called private bills were whipped
through. The Democrats have got
into the usual snarl. Governor Cleve-
land and John Kelly are on the worst
terms imaginable, and Tammany
Hall is determined not to lose an OPP
portunity of furnishing" His EX-
cellency for his neglect of giving Tam
many what she thinks her just share
of the spoils. The efforts to produce
harmony have all failed, and now
the Democratic camp presents the
usual Donnybrook Fair.
General Grant is developing into a
capital after dinner speaker, bright,
pithy and to the point. His previous
laconic manner he has polished into
an elegant conciseness. His remarks
at the 18th annual dinner of the
Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday,
have excited favorable remark. His
advice to foreigners in this country
to try and be good American citizens,
and not claim privileges over natives,
simply because they are foreigners is
timely and to the point, and if prop
erly needed will keep this country
from many and grave complications
with foreign powers, to which some
hot-headed men are trying to drive it.
The more conservative of the Ohio
Republicans are strongly urging the
candidacy Of Judge Langworth for
Governor. He is man of conscience
and political purity, and could he be
induced to run would make strong
man. He is one of the most popular
men, in the State, a distinction won
by his conduct on the bench.

officers OF 800 counties. They were
received between the 9Th and 18th.
They show that the outlook for spring
wheat is acknowledgements so than for
number of years-with material
increase in the acreage sown. From
counties fairly representing the con-
dition OF their neighbors the follow
ing summary is taken: Out of Al
counties in Wisconsin, 16 report an
increase in the acreage of spring
wheat ranging from 10 to 100 per
cent; fourteen report a decrease in
acreage of from 6 to 80 per cent, and
the remaining eleven give same acre
age as last year three report general
coalition and outlook as more favor
able than previously known one re-
ports them less favorable; the re-
naming ones give them as equal to
last year. The soil was in splendid
condition when it received the grain.
and the weather was very favorable.
IN the reports from twenty-five coun-
ties in Minnesota five report a de-
crease in the acreage of spring wheat
ranging from 8 to so per cent; thir-
teen report an increase in acreage of
from 6 to 100 per cent, and the re-
mainder give the same acreage as last
year. Nine counties report appear
ance and general outlook more favor
liable than at this time last year three
report them less favorable, and the
remainder report them as equal to
last year. Out of the reports from
tWenty-one counties in Dakota, only
one is unfavorable. This one, Trail
county, complains of floods and cold.
All the others report an increase in
acreage of from Is to 100 per cent,
and speak in glowing terms of the
outlook. 1t should be remembered,
however, that some Of these counties
giving so large percentage of in
crease raised little or nothing last
year. Due allowance should be made
for the enthusiasm common to in
habitants of new counties, but it is
believed the yield of wheat will be at
least double that of last year. Out of
reports from twenty-one counties in
Nebraska, ten report a decrease in
acreage of spring wheat, six an in
crease, and all give the outlook for a
good crop as very fine.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 13.-Wheat
crop authorities now state that the
harvest will be the greatest California
has ever had, and the present indica
tons possibly make it the banner
state. The opinions are based on the
increased acreage and the unusual
ly propitious weather this month,
steady. light rains having alternated
with warm, sunny days. Wheat is
ripening slowly. The kernels are
heavy. A strong sun, such as is fire.
quently had in May, makes the grain
ripen too early, shriveling it later.
1t is calculated that II ,500,000 tons
will be exported next year.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspor dent

FROM our Regular C0rrespor dent
WASHINGTON. D. c., May IL, 1888.
The growth of the new capital after
its incorporation as city in 1902 was
very slow. 1t was a most forbiding
place, to which nobody came except
the few members of Congress. and by
common consent it was understood
the location was subject to change at
no distant day. Meantime, the War
and Treasury Offices were the only
edifices used as executive depart
ments. The early settlers in 1903
enacted that the tax on slaves and
dogs should be expended in the edu-
cation of poor children. The total
expenditure on the wings of the cap
itol up to the Invasion and burning
of the public buildings by the British
in 1914 was S7SS, OIL. 99, and the total
expenditure to that date for all the
public buildings was S1,214. 292. 9S,
The social customs of the great grand
fathers and grandmothers of this great
republic were slightly different from
those that are now considered an fat
by cultivated society. Invitations
to dine were never by card. A SER
want was dispatched to tender the
message in the early part of the same
day. Boarders were not interdicted
from sitting in company with their
coats off, and it was not only proper
but genteel, even in the presence OF
ladies, for gentlemen to pull of their
brogans and roast their pedal extrem-
tiles by an open fireplace in winter.
Any attention to lady by young
man did not pass for little Irritation
hut an outright intention to marry.
Teddy, milk punch, and egg nogg
were always offered to guests before
dinner. Both sexes, whether on foot
or horseback, carried at all times an
umbrella. The city barber rode
horseback from house to house doing
the double duty of professor of ton
serial operations and dispenser OF
village news and neighborhood scan
dial.
In 1914 James Madison was Presi.
dent. Both he and his cabinet felt
that the capital was entirely safe
against any possible attack from the
British, growing out of the war then
being waged against this country
They talked and acted just as men
do in these later days nobody seems
to feel that navy is of any conse.
quence, yet any foreign power under
any provocation could send a moni.
tor or iron-clad into the harbOr Of
New York and all our forts would
be as useless as cob houses. This fail
capital with all its public buildings
may again be laid in ashes, because. OF
the twadlle and childishness of mem.
bers of Congress who think it bet.
ter for the government to erect pub.
lie buildings in every country town
than to have navy that would com.

PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE ATT THE
MARKET TODAY.

quality, 43Qg54 cents ), ordinary thin

extreme range of prices, 34(G7 cents.
Most of the sales were from 5B(06k.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrival of Cattle during the
week amounted to 1924 head, against
l ,l9S last week and 966 head the cor
responding week Of last year, and the
sales were 1856 head, against 1864 last
week, and 626 head the responding
week of last year.
The market opened fairly active
to-day, with prices in some instances.
shade higher than they were last
Week-SOme few dealers thought 8(@
&c. oyer last week-but the general
opinion was that the improvement
WAS chargable to the improved order
of the cattle, which they decided - as
much better than for long time past.
Prices ranged from 81 to 7c., more
selling at and near the latter figure
than last week, with most sales from
5!(G9bc. The presence of a buyer for
export impaired considerable activity
to the market. The approach to the
close of the market was characterized
by great sl0wless.
THE SWINE MARKET.
There is slight decrease in the
number of the offerings as compared
with last week, but the quality is
fully as good as it was then, none of
the dealers reporting any falling off
in that respect. Trade is not particu-
larry active, the receipts being fully
equal to a generally moderate de-
mand. Prices are shade off, rang
ing from 94c.-few selling at or near
that figure-to l0sc., with some few
extra shade higher most sales from
81 to 109c. Last year prices ranged
from 81 to l09c., a larger proportion
at and near the latter figure and few
at the former.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
The receipts show an increase in
numbers of some $50 head over last
week, fewer among them being of
lambs, which were much less numer-
Gus than last week, and We're in fair
demand at 1900; butcher Sheep
sold at 3053c., with very few at
shade higher figure most sales from
to sic. There were a few wool
Sheep, and they sold from to 6fc,,
with but few at the latter figure.
Prices this week were identical with
those of the same time last year for
Sheep; Lambs were sold at $685.,
with few at either extreme.

The reduction in the Government
tax on cigars is not likely to benefit
consumers much. The makers the
country over are demanding and gen.
orally receiving 81 to 50 per thousand
advance, and the manufacturers will
doubtless claim the rest as their
share, leaving the smokers to pay the
old prices.
