The tariff question was brought into this
campaign by the action of the democratic
party at the last session of Congress.
They elected free trade Speaker and
made au assault upon the tariff with IA
view to the manufacture OF political capital
for this campaign. They were beaten in
Congress on the tariff, and they are going
to be worse beaten in the Presidential
campaign on the same issue. The labor
ing men of this country read and think
Tor themselves and have votes.
Many greenbackers in Knox county.
who were formerly republicans, will vote
with the republican party in September
Most OF the leaders are outspokcn for
Blaine and Logan In the revolution in
politics which is taking place in that
county the democracy will also lose
some members who have voted the demo-
cratic ticket always. The indications are
that the republicans will make a large
gain in Knox county. The outlook for
them is more encouraging than at any
time for many years.
Rev. Mr.. Vail OF Gardiner has published
n volume entitled THE Words of James
G. Blaine containing selected speeches,
letters and public writings of Mr. Blaine,
with a biographical sketch, also Il sketch
OF the Life and Public Services of John A.
Logan. The plan of the work is unique
Its purpose is. in the authors language
"to present the thoughts OF Mr.. Blaine, in
his own words. on the leading issues now
before the American people, Each
chapter of the work is prefaced by
one of the principal planks of
the republican platform of 1884,
and the chapter following is devoted
to extracts from Mr., Blaine's speeches
and writings. in years past. bearing upon
the subject to which the part of the plat
form selected relates. 1t is an admirable
way of showing with what perfection and
completeness Mr.. Blaine's past utterances
fit the platform and agree with the princi-
pies now supported by the republican
party. II is a valuable work for study
and reference. and will do much good in
the campaign now in progress if generally
circulated. Mr.. Blaine was assisted in the
compilation of his work by Walker Blaine
and Thomas II. Sherman.

New York EUening Post: A correspond
ent [whose letter We print in another
column desires some explanation of what
ne considers the sighting or hostile refer
ences to Mr.. James g. Blaine which SO
frequently appear in the Eraling Post, and
which he suspects must be, in some de-
gree at least, the product of private NAL
ice We think he is entitled, as are our
readers generally, to some such explapa-
ton, and we shall proceed to make it
cheerfully, starting, however, with the as
sertion that no editor or other person con-
nected with the Erefsing Post in any
capacity has, to our knowledge, had any
difference, quarrel or controversy with
Mr.. Blaine, or has ever received any in
jury from him whatever, or bears him any
personal grudge. Whenever he is dis
cussed in these columns he is discussed
either as the holder of public Office, or
as candidate for public office. Nor do
we make any reference TO his private
affairs except when those affairs have or
appear to have direct and important re-
lation to his character and claims as
a public man. In fact, all our comments
ON him and his daings are due to the
fact that we consider his reappearance as
candidate for the highest Office in the
government, or any other, as an auda-
cious proceeding, which can only be ac-
counted for by supposing him to have an
extraordinary and unwarrantable conf
dence in the popular forgetfulness. 1t is
the duty of all those who do not wish to
see the Republican party burdened during
the canvass next summer with the hope
less task of whitewashing him, to set forth
briefly, now that his boom is becoming so
lively, the charges which he win have to

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Consideration of the Amendments TO the
THURMAN Act ConcIuded.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The House
Committee on Pacific Railroads to-day con-
cluded consideration of the proposed
amendments to the Thurman sinking
fund act. They extend the provisions of
the act to the Kansas Pacific, Sioux City
and Pacific and central branch of the
Union Pacific railroads. The Secretary OF
the Treasury is authorized to invest the
sinking fund of each of the subsidized
companies in first mortgage bonds Of the
said companies, or in any bonds or securi-
ties of the United States, in his discretion,
or he may, with the assent of the COM
panies, apply the same to the extinguish.
ment of the interest on the subsidy bonds
of the government, to refund the same on
demand, if at any time it becomes neces-
sary in order to meet any debts or obliga-
tiens Of said corporations prior in lien to
said interest. A third amendment re
quires each of the roads to pay thirty-five
per cent. of their net earnings into the
sinking fund instead of twenty-five per
cent. as now required. The percentage
was at frst fixed by the committee al
thirty-seven and half per cent, but was
reconsidered with the above result. The
fourth amendment relates to moneys due
by the government to roads for transpor-
tation, but retained and applied the pay
lfleuI Oh lnleTeSl anu u the
which retention and application the courts
have practically decided was illegal. The
gross amount thus retained with interest
is about Sl0,000,000. Instead of repayinl
this money to the companies the amend
ment provides that it shall remain in the
sinking fund, and be eventually applied
to the extinguishment of debts prior in
lien to those due the government, thereby
increasing the ability of the companies tC
nay the debts due the government, which
are a second lien upon portion OF this
money. II is estimated that about $5,
000, 900, which has gone to the extinguish
ment Of interest, under these amendments
will be transferred to the sinking fund
Three per cent. interest is allowed from
the date of its application until it is GOV
cred into the sinking fund. The fiftl
amendment authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury to withhold fol
the purpose OF securing the requirement:
OF the sinking fund all sums due from the
government for transportation of any kinC
upon the entire systems OF roads owned
leased and operated by subsidized compa
! nies to the extent of the interest of the
controlling company in such earnings.
sixth amendment provides that each com
pany may, If it so desires, settle its debt
| including both principal and interest, witt
the government within five years from tn,
! passage OF the proposed amendments
Representative Thompson, whose bill
! formed the basis of the committed
action, says the proposed legislation viii
increase the amount now paid into tn,
sinking fund by subsidized roads abou
81 100000 annually. In 1898, when tn
bonds become due, he estimates the IL,
creases will hare aggregated about S26,
10000.

The First Days Programme to be Car.
ried Out To-Day.

The weather yesterday, as on Monday,
was so unfavorable that the Jockey Club
decided not to attempt to run any races.
A cold drizzle, which set in Sunday night,
and continued falling, sometimes amount
ing to a shower, all day Monday and Mon
day night, Stacked up a little yesterday,
when the weather was onsiderably cooler,
overcoats taking the place Of umbrellas to
a considerable extent. A number of sport
ing men went out to look at the track
yesterday and announce that it is In
good condition, and unless a heavy rain
falls in the meantime, will be in fair shape
this afternoon. 1t is so well drained that
the water runs off very fast, leaving the
course hard and smooth. The programme
given in the APPEAL of yesterday
morning will be carried out to-day,
the weather permitting, and the
meeting will lap over into next
week, Tuesday being an extra day. They
cannot be put off longer than that, as the

night of the 25th OF March Friedman's .

THE Charleston News and Courier, of
Saturday, made the gratifying announce
ment that there is no longer a political
case on the dockets OF the United States
Court in South Carolina. On Friday, on
motion Of District Attorney Melton, the
whole of the political cases were discon-
tinued. For the FIRST time in many years,
no citizen OF that State, on the strength of
manufactured testimony, is liable to be
tried by packed jury for political pur-
poses and to advance political ends, and it
is to be hoped that no such cases will ever
again be spread upon the doekets Of the
Federal Courts in any of the Southern
States. All such prosecutions were a re-
suit OF the infamous reconstruction code,
the hell-spun web of vindictive and small
souled Radical politicians.

THE divorce question is still being dis
'cussed by the pulpit. DIR. Talmage
preached on that subject on Monday, and
in his Introduction said; "You need no
orthodox minister to prove to a badly
mated pair that there is a hell; they are
there now. Thousands of coed and gra-
Cious women are thus incarcerated, and
their life is a crucifx.on, while many a
good man like John Wesley has married a
viper or fend." A parochial clergyman
of the Church of England, realizing these
facts, writes to the London Times on the
Working Glasses and Divorces" and
says that the cheapest divorce case in
England costs $50 to e40, and urges that
the cost should be reduced, so that respect
able workingmen may enjoy the luxury OF
DIVORCE and escape from the "viper or
iiend, aud that, on the other hand, the
women who are suffering undeserved pun
ishment in "hell," or are being ''cruci-

THE tain that made the distance be-
tween Cincinnati and New Orleans in
twenty.three hours and twenty minutes
accomplished the fastest time ever made
by railroad in a journey of that length.
1t was race between the Louisville and
Nashville and the Queen and Crescent
route as to who could make the fast
est time from Cincinnati to New
Orleans, the former road having
made the run in twenty eight hours
and twenty five minutes on the Mardi
Gras excursion. The run was made from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga in something
less than seven and one-half hours, the
time being lcngthened materially on
account of a crippled engine in the second
relay. Over two hours was consumed in
this delay, but for which the trip would
have been made in twenty-one hours and
twenty minutes. When it is remembered
that much of the road way over which this
train passed with such unexampled speed
is new, il viii seem little less than mar
velous to the reader. 1t speaks well for
Southern railroad management, so much
stigmatized at the North, and puts to
shame the boasted efforts of the great
East-and West trunk lines with their lin.
ited expresses and fast mail trains.

IT will be seen from the letter of our
Washington correspondence that the charges
preferred against the Judge Advocate
General of the army by Banker Bateman,
of Washington, are likely to be fully in-
vestigated, and that out of them may
come the most gross and offensive scandal
the public has been treated to since Bel
knap and Badeau were under investiga-
ton. Washington is too gay and public
life makes too many demands upon the.
meager purses of Federal officials.
