A military empire possesses mani
fold advantages when it comes to the
construction of public works. The
experience OF Russia in building rail-
roads has repeatedly illustrated this
fact but seldom in more striking
manner than in the construction of
the Jadinskpinsk railway. The road
is 100 miles long, and it WAS neces-
sary to erect no fewer than sixty
nine bridges. but military battaliOns
accomplished the work in five months
at cost to the Government of only
S17 900 mile.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 4th, 1883.
1t is singular what an amount of
interest the coming Ohio Gubernator-
ial election excites throughout the
country. Ohio politicians are every
where in demand for news and views.
l was speaking about the matter to a
prominent Ohio Republican at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel the other day,
and he said: 81 cannot understand
,LLIs at all, for am positive that we
sravessJt the race run already. You
See we are fully and perfectly organ
fged, we have no serious dissentions,
aNd all of us are determined to nomi-
nte none but the best for the office
of Governor. Now what can the
Democrats do. They are so divided
anosubdiyided, their organization is
looS and when you ask one of them
whyhe expects that his party will
carry the State, he can give you moth
ing hut his own assurance"
"How about Minnesota ?' 1 asked
"Tha is a safe Republican State, and
for the coming State elections, l
think that the present incumhents
will berenominated. Governor Hub
bard has certainly earned this recog-
milton of his merits. | think the
best thing he has done was to sup
press Window and his associates who
meant TO introduce bossism."
President Arthur's and Secretary
Folger's civil service reforms meet
with general approval, although
among the professional Office seek
ers there is a howl of discomfort.
The President is doing a great
work for the party. He is en-
abling it to go before the country in
1884 with clean, bright record, and
urge its claims to public recognition
with more force than ever. He is a
model President, and all the more so
as he is not wasting time and oppor-
tunities by going in training himself
for 1884.
The feeling of horror over the
frightful calamity on the East River
,24jdge on Decoration Day has not yet
'dcsssoc, rut such is the curiosity of
human nature that now crowds are
attracted to see the spot where crowds
were crushed. OF course it was easy
to forsee that the number of bridge
policemen was not sufficient to pre-.
serve order among a large crowd,
and force them to obey the order
which provides that people going to
Brooklyn take one side of the road
and those returning take the other.
But at best the people have no one
to blame but themselves. The aver
age American crowd is possessed by
so insane desire to move on that it
will take almost any risk to accom-
plish its purpose. 1t is said in some
of the papers that the crush was MAIN
ly produced by crowd of roughs and
pick pockets who intended to make
the most of the opportunity. This
is nothing but sensational talk. TIE
way the police arrangements are now
carried on in this city makes such
gathering an absolute impossibility,
and most of all at such public place
as the entrance to the Bridge,

This is the Time for Work.

This is the Time for Work.
The time is rapidly approaching,
and indeed is now at hand, when II is
necessary for Republicans to be up
and doing. in view of the great po-
litical confessional, State and Ma
tional-pending in the not distant
future. In our own State probabilities
are that the contest between Repub-
licanism and Democracy will be Wig
orously fought and very close. There
are many astute politicians on both
sides who feel that great change
may occur in the political status of
affair; so much so, indeed, as to place
Maryland, as well with reference to
her Governor as her General Assem-
bly, in the hands and control of the
Republicans. 1t is fact already per-
ceptible that Democrats, apprehend
such results, and hence their early
endeavors to harmonic or heal old
disputes and differences which have
grown up in their ranks during the
past few years, originating in at
tempts at "bossism" and other die
tations unsavory to special factions of
the once "unterrified"-and particu-
larly to that independent element
known as the young Democracy"
which it seems, would rather unite
with Republicans than submit any
longer to "boss" dictations. This was
clearly shown by the election in Bal
timore last fall. The same feeling
still slumbers in the party.
Then again it must be bornein mind
that Democrats have held unchecked
sway in Maryland for many years,
and that the people of the State want
achange, or In other words new deal,
and this, they think, can be best had
by asserting a thorough indepen-
dence. 1t is also fully understood
that reforms have taken place-been
forced into existence by the new
registry law, especially in Baltimore
which, by preventing fraudulent
voting and other frauds at elections,
now render the former astounding
maVoritteS, always rolled up for De-
mocracy, very uncertain. An honest,
fair vote in Baltimore, henceforth, if
not making the contest there uncer-
tain, is sure of making it exceedingly
close, so that by unity and harmony
among Republicans in the counties
their success in the State can scarcely
be doubted. There is most cheering
prospects for us in the coming con-
test, and we ask Republicans to begin
the work early-be up and doing, en-
bracing all honorable opportunities
to maintain those great principles
which haYe spoken to their own JUS
LITIGATION in results of State rulings
and also of the general Government.
1t isquite evident that the Democrats
are marshalling their forces for the
approaching great political battles,
both State and National. in the al
most forlorn hope of success at the
next Presidential election. They must
be met, as on former occasions, and
routed. The time has not yet come
when it will be safe to leave our great
Republic to the control and ruling of
a party who at one time were ready
to risk its falling into the hands of
destructives, if not traitors and dis
unionists, Republican rule has thus
far been safe. We know what it is.
what it has done-and is still doing
so well-the1 may it be the pleasure
and duty for all good citizens to unite

PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE AT THE
MARKET TODAY.
Very best on sale to-day sos $40
cts ; that generally rated first quality,
53065 cents; medium or good fair
quality; 4l(054 cents; ordinary thin
steers, oxen and cows. 33(94 cents
extreme range ofprices, 33@6 $40 cts.
Most of the sales were from 53(G6a.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrival of Cattle during the
week amounted to 903 head, against
979 last week and 1888 head the cor
responding week of last year, and the
sales were 1862 head, against S52 last
week, and S79 head the corresponding
week of last year.
The market to-day was slightly
more active than it was last week.
owing to the purchases, to the extent
of some $50 head, for Liverpool by
Mr.. F. r. Northumberland to
range generally from to SIC. Deal
ers thought that but for this fact trade
would have been quite dull and prices
off, instead of being, in few excep-
tional instances, trifie hi CHER than
last week. The quality was of bet
ter average, perhaps, than last week.
Prices ranged from 81 to 6 9-10c..
with very few at or near the former
figure, most sales being from 81 to
&c., large portion at and near the
latter figure.
THE SWINE MARKET.
There is difference IA falling off
in the receipts as compared with last
week of nearly 700 head, but little or
no difference in the quality of the
offerings. Prices, nevertheless, are
fully &c. lower than they were then,
and the market is only fair. with the
lower quotations and lighter receipts.
We quote at 9993c., with most sales
from 50 to 81. Dealers report gener-
ally fair supply and only moderate
demand.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
There is heavy increase in the
offerings of both Sheep and Lambs
over last week, with a considerable
number left over unsold. to be re-
shipped East at owners risk. The
Eastern market shows lower prices,
in consequence of which trade here is
slow and prices also off. The quality
is about the same as it was last week.
Prices range from to 54c. for BUTCH
er Sheep and COS! for Lambs.

THE LAST OF THE MOHlCANS.

Its in the signs of the times that Ma
HONE, the last and worst of the old ring
Of Bosses, must go.
The split between the Virginia Re-
publicans and the ~so-cslled MALONE
Readjusters, settles MAHONB's hash.
DEFENDERS has formally agreed to
accept the forlorn hope Of the Republic
can wing, and it may be set down now
as an assured fact that two delegations
from the Old Dominion will knock at
the doors of the next Republican Ma
tiOnal Convention for admission.
MAHONE has openly abandoned all
p~retence of Democratic fealty, but he
has not yet consented to call himself q
Republican and it cannot yet be said
exactly in what political guise he will
parade a year from this. Whatever
he may call himself, he must necessarily
be 3 Republican at heart, and it may be
accepted as reasonably certain that he
will want recognition from the Republic
can convention and u voice in its de.
alterations. His case might be an easy
one to manage If the Regular Republic
can organization could be silenced, but
with DEcENDoRF and his associates
bearing the proper party credentials,
MALONE will be bone of contention
likely to make . hot time in the con-
vention. We are counting on q lively
episode when this case comes formally
before the assembled might and wisdom
of the Republican party.
But MAHoNE must go.

PoLxs JURY.

They spent several weeks In trying
to find q jury sufficiently ignorant to
try the defaulting treasurer, Polk, OF
Tennessee.
The point was TO obtain twelve men
who had not read the newspapers and
learned the undisputed fact that POLK
had robbed the State treasury Of 8 large
sum Of money, run away with 1t, been
captured, brought back, and offered to
MAKE restitution Of the stolen funds as
q kind Of absolution from penalty.
1t was . supposable case that any
man who had scanned these facts
which POLK admitted, had also "formed
an opinion" that POLK was guilty. To
and . man, therefore, who was either
so obscure or ignorant that he had
heard or read nothing Of the notorious
fact, or having heard Folks plain ad-
mission, had not formed an opinion,
wasa necessary qualification to sit as a
juror in that case
The jury that was at last selected
must have been q curiosity. But 1t
must be admitted that it seemed to
know what to do with a fellow Of that
stripe when they got hold of him.
Twenty years in the penitentiary and 3
fine equal to the amount Of the steal
ings is q pretty fair verdict for q jury
that hadn't formed IN opinion. Some
times the unsophisticated judgment
goes straight to the core Of the matter.
But it must be admitted that q YER
diet Of the Tennessee jury was an ex-
eeption. II they were ignorant, perhaps
they CHANGED to be honest. They felt
thatit was their own pockets that had
been plundered, and in the absence of
sny secret influences TO turn them away
from their natural inelinations they
very naturally gave him the full benefit
of the law.

FOST ER's FABRICATION.

To Use a vulgar phrase, the Governor
of the great State of Ohio "bit off more
than he could chaw'' when he essayed
the role ofthe ward politician to invent
and circulate cheap and gauzy cam
paign lies to injure the Democratic cam
didate.
1t was not even q good campaign lie
that the silly Governor has ATTEMPTED
TO trade on. u is Fl qfnUfs RESPECT:
able organs of his party are not slow to
speak out in meetin'. The Cincinnati
Times-Star, a leading Republican pa
per, says:
Whether or not money was c~orIuptly
used IN the interest of Judge Hoadly at the
Columbus convention, Governor Foster
has placed himself in an awkward position
by accusing Judge Hoadiy OF buying votes.
The fact that the charge was made indi-
rectly does not shield the Governor from
public condemnation as a political ~tattler.
Resorling to the word alleged" for de-
tense against the charge Of falsenood is a
vain and petty trick. The plea that he can
not give the name of his informant without
his consent" only shows Governor Fostor's
weakness not to use a stronger term in a
worse light. The Governor Of a State is en-
gagged in small business when he goes
about peddling charges the name of the
author Of which he is forbidden 10 divulge.
For such campaign methods only a very
low order of talent is required. Ii may be
true that Hoadly's nomination cost him
$4,000. The Judge has not asserted. so
far, that no money was expended with his
knowledge and consent at Columbus. But
this does not extricate Governor Foster
from his humiliatiug predicament.
