TIE Chattanooga Times seems to think
Mr.. Abraham S. Hewitt dangerous man
who must be got rid of at any cost. 1t says:
''It would be good day for the democrat

be made speaker. Whether he would be
able to survive the labors and annoyance Of
the post with any health or strength left
In him we are inclined 20 doubt"

The Boston Post has the following judi
cious comments upon our dead heading city
government: The board of mayor and al
dermen of Portland have voted themselves
admission to all places of amusement free,
and have decided to wear badge sof some
appropriate design" so that their identity
may be known to the doorkeeper. This is a
species of deadheading that is not credita-
BILE tothose taxing advan age of it. Port
land is not the only city where it is in vogue.
With just as much reason the members of
the city government might demand free
rides in the cabs, buses, and horse cars.
Their idea seems to be that in granting Ii
cences to showmen they have conferred
favor which the showmen should reciprocate
by liberal bestowal of free tickets Hav-
ing also granted licenses to cabmen and
franchises to horse railroad companies, why
not demand free rides? And then there is
the patent medicine peddler and a dozen
other licensed vendors. Why shouldn't the
members Of the city government help them
selves to their wares free? Clearly the
whole business is disreputable, and totally
unworthy of self-respecting officials. Such
police force as is needed to maintain order
at public entertainments should be, and al
ways is, admitted to them free of charge !;
but when the mayor and members of the
city government demand free admission also
1t is carrying the thing too far. 1t amounts
to forced tax upon showmen for the bene-
flt of private individuals for which no eluiy-
aleHt is furnished.

Mr.. Blaine and the Republican
PARTY.

When the Washington correspondents
have nothing else to write ab ut, they write
about Mr.. Blaine; and as that gentleman is
not always in a communicative mood the
correspondents are compelled to fall back
upon that prolific source of gossip, their i'm
agination, and quote him as saying things
they fancy he may have thouglit. A ehatty
letter published in the New York Sun and
copied in the PRESS few days since, repre-
sents the ex-Secretary as poking fun at the
Administration and saying that only acct
dent can prevent Democratic success in
1884.
The Sun correspondent entirely misrepre-
SCENTS, or misunderstands, Mr. Blaines SEN
timents and utteranees. He does that gen.
tleman great injustice. The PRESS is able
10 state that while Mr.. Blaine did not agree
with President Arthur's views in relation to
South American matters, he is on very
friendly terms with the President and speaks
of him with high regard 1t may also be
stated that Mr.. Blaine believes that in 1884
the great issue will be the tariff question ;
that the people of this country favor the pro-
tective policy, and viii therefore keep the
Republican party in power. The people will
hear from Mr.. Blaine in the next Presiden-
tial contest and he will deal effectual blows
for the success Of the Republican ticket. He
Is confident of its success and takes as much
interest in political events as he ever did.
Whoever says to the contrary grossly misrep-
resents him.

ONE Oh tue Questl0nS which was not dell
nitely settled in the accepted scheme of civil
service reform is the manner in which the
public offices are to be apportioned between
the two sexes. AS most people are aware,
the number of women who are DESTROYS of
entering the employment of the United
States is very large, and the female candi-
date is, if possible, more energetic and per-
tinacious in the quest than her masculine
rival. As the law by which the systems Of
examinations is established makes no dis
tinction between the sexes, women will be
entitled to present themselves before the ex-
aiming boards, but it is proposed to leave
their appointment at the discretion of the
heads Of departments and bureaus. If that
Is done, the superior officials of the govern
ment are likely to have lively time of it.
The anti Chinese law, which is continu-
ally producing some unpleasant complca-
ton, has just been the means of placing a
Chinese gentleman of education in an ex-
sremely embarrassing position. DIR. Shin is
the secretary of Bishop Volentesi, Catholic
prelate who has been successfully engaged
IN missionary labors in China. He arrived
at the port of New York in company with
the Bishop on his way home, and having
failed to provide himself with the necessary
documentary credentials, he was not per-
mitted to land. OF course it may be said
that he had himself to blame, but a law
which establishes the passport system in this
country is a law of which self-respecting
Americans must feel ashamed. The au-
thorities, however, finally consented to re-
lease him, and he is now on American soil.
The Cars coronation manifesto has been
followed by Nihilist bulletin. The rebels
have not been subdued or awed by any
means. 1t is asserted that some of the prom
inent persons who stood near Alexander
when he put the crown upon his head would
have been glad to kill him. This declaration
Ii entirely safe. The proclamation would be
more interesting, however, if it contained a
programme. People are curious to learn,
what the next act is to be like The Gear
grants no constitution, and his organs take
pains to say that constitutional govern
ment is not adapted to the needs of Russia.
What are the Nihilists going to do about it?

In the United States circuit court of
Oregon Judge Deadly granted provis-
iOnal injunctions in the cases of Wells,
Fargo 4 Co. against the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation Co., and the same
against the Oregon d California road.
The court held that Wells, Fargo Il
Co. were duly Incorporated and that
its name was legally changed from the
Holladay Overland Mail and Express
to Wells, Fargo 4 Co.; that the ex-
press business was recognized branch
of the carrying trade of the country;
that railway corporations Were bound
to treat it accordingly; that railway
corporation was created by the state
of Oregon to serve the public as COM
mon carrier for reasonable compensa-
ton, and must adapt itself in the dis
. charge of Its duties to the public to
the usage and customs of trade; that
section 36 of the Oregon corporation
act, which declares that railway cor
porations shall be common carriers
and have authority to take such tolls
for transportation of freight and pas
sengers as they may prescribe, only
authorizes the taking of reasonable
tolls, and is contract with the state
to that effect, and no more; and what
is such reasonable compensation is a
question for the court to determine in
each case. In allowing the injunc-
tions the court directed that plaintiffs
should pay the defendants pending
the suit the same compensation for
express facilities as it had paid here
tofore, the court assuming that such
pay was reasonable.

The question whether prohibition
prohibits is still an unsettled one. The
fact that the legislature of Maine, a
state in which public sentiment goes
further in support OF prohibition than
any other state in the union, finds it
necessary, after years of experiment,
to pass more stringent anti-liquor
law, is equivalent to a Confession that
no measure has yet been sufficient to
extirpate the evil in the Pine Tree
