The war in passenger rates between the
East and West. which has been raging with
more or less violence for several weeks
past, continues with unabated fury Tickets
between New York and Chicago are now
selling at $50, the scalpers cutting about
half dollar below those rates. The roads
leading offiin the strife arethe West Shore
and Erie, the New York Central and the
Delaware and Lackawana, though the B. Il
O. and Pennsylvania Central are obliged to
conform partly to the low rates.
At the same time the war between Chi.
cago and St Louis and Missouri river
points was broug to close on Tuesday and
new agreement entered into which re-
stores all passengers rates between Chicago
and Missouri river points, between Chi
cago and ST Louis, and between ST. Louis
and the Missouri river. The agreement
fixes the new rates between Chicago and
Missouri river points between Council
Bluffs and kansas City at $3.50; between
Chicago and st. Louis, $50; between St

old rates before the war We're $l4.I0, 1870,

While there is no sympathy for that ar.
rant old humbug, Signal Officer Hazen, on
account of the dressing down" he gets in
the last annual report of Secretary of War
Lincoln, 1t may be we'll questioned whether
the latter has kept within the bounds of
good taste or official proprIety In the mat
ter Gen, Hazen, In his report, had under
taken to criticise the course OF the Secre
tary of War and of the Navy in 1888 in
refusing. after the wreck of the Porteus, 10

was time TO do so and that such an expedi.
tion would have been successful. Secre.
tary Lincoln justly characterizes such an
EXPIRE ession OF opinion on the part of the
Signal Officer as u piece of impertnence,
and then shows, by the finding Of the court
of inquiry in the Porteus case, that the sug
geStion is as wild and irrational as il is i'm.
pudent Secretary Lincoln, however,
should have remembered that the Signal
Officer Is a subordinate of the Secretary of

THE MESSAGE.

The va!edictory message OF fresiueh'
Arthur will be found on our inner pages
and is worthy of careful perusal. II gives
An unusually clear and comprehensive re
view Of the condition of the country IN it>
domestic and foreign relations, and covers
great variety of topics, some OF "hich
must concentrate the attention of the coun
try for good while 70 c)me. Inc tarin
excise tax and other sonrce> OF national re
venue are overhauled; the construction OF
a navy, the opening of channels of foreign
trade, the reform Of the civil service, the
revision of the electoral laws, the Mormon
problem. our currency difficulties, the Mex.
lean treaty, the new Spanish treaty, the
Nicaragua canal, and variety of other
subjects is brought forward, enough to oc'
supy the attention OF congress and the exc
cutiye tor another full presidential term,
instead of the meager ninety days remain,
ing to Mr.. Arthur.
The Message, it is almost needless to say,
Is more satisfactory 10 the Democrats than
to the Republicans. On the tariff and reve-
nue. questions the Presidents sympathies
are manifestly against the high protection
ideas of Blaine and his followers and lesn
10 the democratic side of tariff reduction
and revenue reform, and while he appar
emily despairs of accomplishing these OBJ
jects by direct legislation, his earnestness
in pressing the necessary legislation to car
ry into effect the Mexican treaty, his advo-
cacy of the speedy confirmation OF the new
Spanish treaty and his argument in favor
of entering into similar liberal commercial
treaties with all the South American states,
indicate that he would rely rather on the
treaty making power than on congress to
bring about more liberal policy in regard
to our foreign trade.
The Republicans are not backward in
seeing that this policy of entering into trea,
ties like the Mexican and Spanish treaties
will prove only an entering wedge to free
trade, while the democrats are ready to al,
NIT that such treaties with the South Ame-
rican states at least have been in the line of
democratic policy for years.
Repeating his former recommendations
n regard TO the suspension of silver coin
lge, and the revision of the naturalization
avs 50 that they shall cease to afford pro
ection to criminal enterprises against the

y; urging the enactment of new bank
'upt law, and the abolition of the territorial
government of Utah, the President grace.
'ully concludes message evidently pre-
Jared with great care, by thanking congress
md the country for the good will and sup
,ort both have given him during his occu
,ancy of the executive chair, to which he
vas called under such painful circum
tances and with so many misgivings
