The abandonment of the Hoosac Tunnel
Line by the New York Central Railroad Com
pany, and the concentration of its cars on the
new Nickel Plato express, to run over the Bos-
ton & Albany road, leaves, says the Wall
Street News the Hoosac Tunnel and Fitch
burg lines nothing to depend upon but the
Grand Trunk and West Shore roads. II the
arrangement with the latter lines is made, the
Grand Trunk will make the Hoosac Tunnel its
principal line to Boston, and the Fitchburg
depots its eastern terminus. This will involve
the abandonment Of the Vermont Central as
its principal through line, there being no ad
equate terminal facilities existing in that d.
rection, and none likely to be created, the
scheme for a lease Of the Boston & Lowell hav-
ing apparently fallen through. This is not
true in part, as the Tunnel lines still have the
Erie and Lackawanna connections.

The Hawaiian Treaty,

| Chairman Williams. of the Foreig | Affairs Committee of the House, sal, ! Tuesday that the action of that com | mittee, III relation tO the abrOga;iOn Ui | the Hav aiIan treaty, was taken with a view to bringing the trade between tLe
 two countries within the scope Of th, ! Orgii al intentions respecting 1t. TLe 1 treaty cOntemplates the admission ire, uf duty of low grades of Sandwich Island sugars. but there was every req
 son tO believe that extensive frauds had
 been perpetrated on the government.
 and that high grades of sugar, dOctOrsd
 SD as tO appear of an inferior quality
 had been brought ID under the opera ton of the treaty. The modification
 recommended by the committee pro poses to do away with the color test and establish the pOlariscOpic [, Rt, and in case the end aimed a; by the committee cannot be accomplished by the proposed modification, the President IS author 'zed tO give notice to the Hawaiian gov ernment of the abrOgatiOn of the treaty
 Representatives BlOunt and Belmont
 with perhaps Representative Rice Co. Massachusetts, will bring sn minority report against the a5rogatiOn of the treaty, in which they will take the ground that the Treasury Department ,s responsible for the frauds that have. been committed, and not the treaty. Eastern sugar men cay that the resOlu- ton reported by the committee Is vague and unsatisfactory, and, if 1t means any thIng, means that the treaty shall stand They say the Pr sldent would not dare to assume, under the wording of 'he committees resolution, authority to take steps to bring about the abro yatiou of the treaty.

". c. Davis. Of this city, is one of our best known and most successful business men. Mir. Orme, of Maricopa, We think Is an ex-sherif Of that county and man Of standing, which makes his appointment entirely satisfactory. Politically Messrs. Gage and Davis are Republicans, and Mir. Orme IS a Democrat. However, politics did not enter into the Governors calcu- latiou m selecting the Board It was hIs purpose to select residents of the Territory, of business capacity and rec ognized standing. This be has done, we think, to the entire satisfaction Of all.

TaE proprietor of the Star has mol the courage of an editorial opinion upon the hospital case since the CITIZEN de- mOlished the tissue of assertion that formed the basis of It's attack upon Supervisor Toole yesterday morning, but keeps up the attack in communities ton either written by himself or by one who considered that be had authority to speak for the paper under nom de plume. Our reasons for saddling the responsibility for this mass of hog wasa upon the proprietor of the Star Is based upon its speaking for the paper as in the following sentence "The eve1ing papers idea that the Star made a threat against Otis is a mIstake" Any one but the proprietor of the Star must have presumed a great deal to have written the above quotation. The com municatioD contains nothing to reply to, only shows that the Star desires, for personal reasons, to keep up an attack which 1t recognizes to be groundless.

IRE FAILURE or sEsTEICrIVS LEGISLATION
 Hon. John P. Irish. Of tho Oakland Times, vao, unEl his location ID Gal tornia a few months since, was prom nens Democratic politician and journal ist ID Iowa, a State which has had as much railroad legislation as any State ID tho Unlon, expresses the following oplu- ion on the subject Of railroad control by the Legislature:
 The question most difficult of manage lnent relates tO the Railways, and our cOnvlcjion grows that California cannot prove an exception Co the Ofi CT States which have failed m attempts to manage them by legislative action.
 The threat of legislation on freight rates surrounds She Legislature with tue temptation that arises m the use of those indirect means winch great cOrporatInuz have at hand and will Use to protect themselveS n default of other D Otec- tiOn, aod hence becomes a fruitful source of scandals. The fixing of our lntieXible maximum freight rate has been tired by the legislators of several States and abandoned as Impractica- ble, slnce the maximum fixed for an e-- 'abished and well paying road would De found foo low a maximum for the 15w aod poorly patronIzed hue. Hence It operated as a check upon railway building and the counties and cOmmu- Diiies which were not yet supplied with the desirable convenience ot a railroad, justly complained of a policy which shut down the prospect of ever getting liue-.

AN INFAMOUS INDIAN POLICY.

The policy Of the Government in Tee l- ing and paying the red-handed savages after they have committed deeds of vo- lence and bloodshed that, # they were white men, wouli lead tasn to the gal lows, Is one of the features oi tue GoverDment's Indian policy which strikes the average froptiersmaE who lives in constant dread oi tle fends. as infamous The Gov ernment does not lift it. hand to aid the victims of tle terrible atrocities that are from time to time committed by it's pampered wards, but when peace IS declared the red handed mu-ders-s are fed and clothed and allowed to live Tn iileness and prepare for new e-- ploits Of robbery, outrage and murder. The Laramie Boomerang makes rle following pointed comment Cl the ll- dian policy of the Government. taking . the recent death oI poor Josie MeeEgr as a text:
 The fate of Josie Meeker, whose father was murdered and herself and mother outraged by the Utes at the White River agency, south of Rlw.usr Wyoming, IS a sad one.
 She was poor sewing girl ULe- her father was GppoIntel agent for -he J-es; accompanied her family to the ggeu ,y; witnessed the murder of her father aud the outraCes upon her mother, aud hog self subjected to the same treatment tE PersUne. one oi |. the chiefs. After be- release, she was the subject of sOml philanthrophic talk, but was soCu dropped, as an object of sympathy. She made her way to Washington. and suffered and starved for months. Al last she received place as typewriter operator in the office of Secretary Teller. Then. when fortune seemed to smile little a very, very little-she dieI. Her remains were taken back to Greeley, Colorado, her former home, and inferred n the cemetery there.
 And Persune-uu- of the fe.ds who helped torture and kill her father. and tbe one who repeatedly outraged her while she was held caJtivr-wnat oi aim? Well may the question b- asked, and the answer should bring r-e b.u-L uf shame to the cheek of every true man. He is at be Uinta agency, Utah well, free and unfettered. and -pe dug his share of the money given these iends by the Government soon afier peace" was declared.

IHE road to Riverside and Globe will be built. The efforts of the newspapers Jf this city have not been in vain. Our business men have taken hold of the matter and will push it through. The Board of Supervisors will be asked at Us next meeting to aid the project, and the balance needed will be raised by private subscriptions. The distance rom thls city to Globe by the proposed route Is only 96 miles as against l2S from Willcox. The cost of opening this new ruad will be about 5000. How Tucson has let this opportunity to se- cure the important trade of the Globe country pass so long is a puzzle. We are glad, however, that at length our people are aroused to their own inter- ests and are going to take the necessary steps to secure the trade of one of the richest mining sections of our Territory. I effect will be that the trade of this city will be greatly increased by this en- terprise.
