Arthur's Chances.

New YORK. Dec. 1.-The World
has been feeling the pulse of the
Republicans of the Empires State,
and it finds Arthurs in choice of
the majority for President. If Ar
thur concludes to be = candidate
he will have the support of the
old Grant crowd. He will be op-
posed by the Blaine wing of tho
party, which nominated Garfield in
1850. The old fight will be repeat
cd with the exception that Arthur
will have the negroes of the South,
who in the last fight were largely
owned by John Sherman.

Grant, Jr., for $4,000 damages.

keeps a vicious horse, and that on
March LIST the horse inflicted per-
sonal injuries upon Bailey. from
which he never expects to recover.
The horse complsined of is one OF
the Arabian stations presented to
General Grant by the Khedive of
Egypt. 1t is understood that the
defense is to be that General Grant,
and not his son, owns the horse.
In this event Bailey says he shall
sue the General himself.

But the personnel of the next
General Assembly is something
worthy our most serious attention.
1t is a question that should evoke
the earnest consideration of the
tai payingpeople dispersed through
ont the fifty eight constituencies of
the State of Louisiana. Every De
mocratic Legislature since the exc
dns of Radicals and Scalawags has
come in for its share of abuse and
vitupeIation-justly or unjustly it
is not necessary for us to say but
we must not forget that the short
comings OF a Legislature are indi
rectly if not directly attributable to
the negligence of the people. They
are certainly responsible for the sc
lection of their public servants. In
too many instances have they allow
ed these selections to 60 by default,
aud when the public servants thus
chosen, fail to reach an arbitrary
standard they are denounced by a
dissatisfied constituency whose du
ty it was to choose men able to
Withstand the temptations thrown
around them by corrupt and de
signing schemers, and to avoid the
danger of coming in contact with
Howard's monopoly or becoming
too intimate with the mOnied DOW
ers.-EelicianG Sentinel.

MONOPOLY WARS.
The Mutual Union Still Kept Out
OF Chicago.
The Southwestern Railroad Pool
Finally Broken.
The Mutual Union Wires.

CHICAGO, March 6.-The motion for
an Injunction to restrain the city from
interfering with the Mutual Union Tel
egraph company in reconnecting its
wires cut by order of the mayor some
days since, was before the United
States circuit court to-day. After
hearing argument, Judge Drummond
held that the Mutual Union Co. having
come into into the city on an agree
ment that its wires should be laid un-
der ground before March l, 1888, it
must abide by the terms of that contract;
that its right to carry wires on poles
expired by limitation. On the other
hand the mayor of the city in causing
the wires to be cut did an unlawful
act. HIS course properly was to ap-
ply to the court for an adjudication on
tue contract. Owing to the expiration
of the contract the court declined to
issue an injunction, the term of which
would allow the wires to be connected
again. Plaintiff desired to restrain
the city from any further summary in
reference with its property.
Mayor HARRISON says the decision
leaves him nothin, to do but station q
force of police at the point where the
wires are cut to prevent the company
frem reconnecting them. Superin-
tendent Chapman of the Mutual Union
said under the ruling of the court the
company could sue the city of dam
ages.

The death of Alexander II. Steph-
ems, of Georgia, removes another OF
our cold school of statesmen. He
was first elected to congress in 1913,
and WAS reelected twelve times-tive
times since the close of the War Of
the Rebellion. The two incidents in
his life for which the North has most
reason to admire the pIuoky little man
were his sympathy with Stephen A..
Douglass in 1860, as against the dis
unionists and southern tire-eaters, and
his opposition to rebellion and seces-
sion when Lincoln was elected presi-
dent. In common with all prominent
southerners, he was, however, forced
inte the secession movement-'going
with his state"-and was made vice
president of the Southern Confeder-
aoy. Mr.. Stephens was elected COVER
of Georgia last year. He was fear
less and All able man, and his death is
a loss not only to Georgia and the
South, but to the nation. He WAS II
years of age, and had been physically
disabled by paralysis of his lower
limbs for some years.

Contrary to the general expectation,
the report of the conferce committee
on the Tax-Taritf bill was adopted by
both houses before the final adjourn
ment, and was immediately signed by
the President. 1t is, therefore, now
the law of the land. 1t had close call
in the senate, passing that body by a
majority of only one, but it Jared better
in the house. As very few of our
readers will be interested in wading
through the various items of the differ
ent scedules of the bill, it may be
stated in y general way that it educ
tions will aggregate from $40, ,000, 900 to
$75,000,000 per annum, the amount de-
pending of course on the extent of our
importstions.
The skeleton of the bill is the inter
nal revenue reduction bill which was
passed by the house at the last session,
upon which the senate had ingrafted
tariff amendments enough to make il
appear to be more of tariff than a
revenue bill. AS Congressman differ
widely in their estimates of the aggre-
gate amount of reduction the bill will
make per snnum, so they differ also in
their estimates of the percentage of re
duction on the various articles, Thus,
the democrats declare that the reduc
tiens will not amount to more than II
per cent. from the law as it now stands
ON the average, while the republicans
are of the opinion that the business o.
the country will realize at least from q
to 80 per cent. reduction.
