Beauregard and Early would be
wrong. We are only grieved that
to northern journal was left the
great work of destroying a business
whose balefuI influence now extends
throughout the country. AS it was
southern institution, southern men
should have exposed and killed it;
as Beauregard and Early are names
so dear to us that they seem part of
ourselves, emphatic warning and
condemnation should have reached
them from southern lips in obedi-
ence to the command ''pluek out the
beam in thine own eye"
Even here much blame may be
justly attached to the press of our
country which has rendered possible
the phenomenal growth of this gi-
gantic swindle, by sending attrac-
tive advertisements to trap the ig-
norant or unwary into every village
and farmhouse throughout the land.
IF those who publish obscene litera-
ture can be held criminally respon-
sible before the law, how about the
newspaper which lends its influence
to deceive and defraud its patrons
in favor of an acknowledged fraud
rendered all the worse by the parti-
cipation of influential citizens in the
"spoils and loot ?" IF a "Rotten
Road" forfeits the privileges accord
ed it by the state when it fails to
provide for the legitimate demands
of business, what should the public
think of an editor who daily spreads
Inducements before his readers in
one column which he bas acknowl-
edged elsewhere to be trap set by
J swindlers and thieves Yet this is
| done by more than one influential
journal, and, so far, the Florida
Herald alone has called attention to
this glazing inconsistency IN the
matter of that stupendous Fraud, the
Louisiana State Lottery.
1t may be because we are yet q
yonng member of the fraternity
which has seemed to us SO potent il
all benefcent influences, but we still
think that the man who accepts the
} responsibilities which are necessarily
thrown upon any one who controls
the utterances of a journal in good
2 standing, should be most careful an6
$ considerate even in matters confess
edly unimportant. 1t is so hard t(
. right a wrong once committed; thu
D careless word or vile thought may
r reach so far beyond our power t.
: refute or counteract its tendencies
: the small beginnings may reach 81
n quickly such fearful ends, that ever
+ the dollar carelessly put into lot
i terry may lead to gambling and tn
!, ruin of happy families. Then wher
i will stand the man who wilfull,
e spreads a temptation before the un
t wary? Therefore we say that tn
) newspaper which is shocked at tn
4 depravity of a railroad, however 'rot
: ten" while it advertises daily LOT
terry scheme, entertains strange idea
e as to its own duty to the public.

GERMAN COLONIZATION.

The naval demonstration of the coast of
Zanzibar has been followed by tidings of a new
annexation scheme IN the South Seas. Germany
has apparently resolved to strengthen its posi-
ton in New Guinea by formally occupying the
Caroline Islands. These islands, discovered in
1543, have since been claimed by Spain as
forming part of its possessions In the Philip
pines. German mel chants have recently estab-
lished trading posts in the group, and their in
terests are to receive Government protection.
The annexation is justified by the Berlin
press on the ground that Spain has never
had a settlement on the islands, and hence has
never been actually in possession of the archi-
pelago There was an English occupation of
the islands in 1868, but the German Govern
ment has not found it convenient to remember
this.
German activity in colonization has not yet
found great field for enterprise. The trading
settlements in the South Seas and on the west
coast of Africa are Of minor Importance, and the
East African Society, whose territorial claims
in Zanzibar have been supported by naval
squadron, has barely made beginning under
the leadership of DIR. Karl J1hlcke. Since the
colonial policy is popular in Germany the risks
involved in these ventures can be lightly under
taken by the Chancellor but he is too practical
statesman to waste the resources Of the coun-
try without ultimately securing commercial
advantages of real value. These maritime
raids on the inhospitable African coast and
barren Pacific islands will not pass unques-
toned in Germany. where foreign policy is in
varably judged by its results. If colonization
is to be seriously undertaken on a large scale,
and subsidies to ocean lines are to be multi
piled, larger schemes Of operations must be un-
folded than have thus Ear been disclosed. One
of these days the world may hear of some great
stroke like the purchase of Cuba, or the estab-
lishment of German protectorate over some
portion of South or Central America.

PENNSYLVANIA LAW AND THE hAIL-
ROAD PLAN.

The Option of Judge Agnew, published yes
terlay, in regard to the proposed sale OF the
South PENNSYLVANIA to the Pennsylvania Kali
road Company, is one of the most important
documents of the time in its bearing upon rail-
way operations, The high reputation OF inc
former Chief-Justice of Pennsylvania entities
his opinion to great weight, and the reasons
which he gives for his conclusions are clear anu
strong. 1t is the more remarkable that such
an opinion should come from one who, IL
appears, is not only not interested In the South
Pennsylvania enterprise, but is himself one of
the larger stockholders in the Pennsylvania
COMPANY. The principles enuncated by Judge
Agnew are of broad application, for while he
refers especially to the provisions of the Penn
sylvania Constitution and laws, 1t Is to be
observed that somewhat similar provisions
regarding the purchase or consolidation OF
competing lines are to be found in the Corlsti-
tutions or laws of many other States, and III, as
the Judge urges, such consultations and pur-
chases are contrary to public policy, the same
principles may be enforced to some extent In
the absence of specific legal provision.
The effect of this opinion is likely to be i'm
mediately important 1t will clearly be used
WIFI STtdb lOtCC Wy thc OPPSA~" w. 49, -
derbilt-P Pennsylvania plan, and 1t Is likely to
influence the action of some OF the stockholders.
Mr.. Gowen, also, who Is said to have taken
position definitely against the contemplated
transfer, has been greatly successful in more
than one important legal controversy, and he Is
lust the man to make the utmost use OF an
opinion such as that of Judge Agnew. There
seems to be some doubt whether the cOntem-
plated transfer can be legally effected against
such opposition. 1t would be curious IL che
PENNSYLVANIA part of the bargain should tall
through, while the transfer Of the West Shore
to Mr.. Vanderbilts control should be accom-
plished without serious difficulty or delay.
But as the two transactions were originally In a
measure dependent on each other, 1t is at least
possible that a failure of the Pennsylvania
Company to realize the benefits which 1t
expected from the arrangement might result in
greater opposition to Mr.. Vanderbilts plan
regarding the New-York road. AT the same
time, it may be an important fact that parties
interested in the Reading Railroad have deter
mined to proceed without delay to the fore
closure, a movement which, if successful, would
entirely alter the relations of that company,
both to the Pennsylvania and to the Baltimore
and Ohio, and render Mr.. Vandcrbilts interest
in the Reading of no practical use.

control of the patronage for Ohio, ana at MS
behest is removing Republicans and appointing
Democrats regardless of his professions before
the election. Hence, possibly, comes the readi-
ness of The Cincinnati Enquirer to put the knife
to Mr.. Hoadly, as the representative OF the
President. and TO use Mr. Thurman as an In
strument.
Mr.. Thurman. however, positively declines.
There seems TO be no doubt of the authenticity
of the interview telegraphed on Tuesday IN
which be declared, not only that NE qua not

ton. Tet his namewas used In CINCINNATI an

Governor Hoadly The truth Is that scarcely
ANYBODY fancies that he could succeed as
Democratic candidate in Ohio this year, except
Governor Hoadly, and probably he has less
chance than almost anybody else. His per-
sonal conduct has weakened him. His behavior
dur;ne the Hooking Valley strike, and during
the riot in Cincinnati, and during the enact
ment of most Infamous partisan laws by the
I.eois,ature has gained him deserved con-
demnatioD from citizens of all classes. Among
his marty friends, his recommendation OF ex-
Governor Noyes is not forgotten, and the seiec-
tion of Mr.. Hanna is met with Indignation by
the Democrats of Cleveland, who declare that
if anybody is an "ofiensive partisan" 1t Is
Hanna. Neither has the selection of McConn-
Vile and the disreputable Cunningham helped
the Governor, while his conspicuous recon-
mendation of the pardon Of Mullen, the Cincin-
natl election swindler, is not forgotten. II,
with all this, he is nominated, 1t is pr tty
clear indication that the Democrats OF Ohio do
not hope to win this year with anybody else,

THE OHIO MYSTERY.

Ohio politicians would not be what they are,
If it were easy to deciphcr their movomen Is at
this distance. Thus The Cincinnati Enquirer
assails Governor Hoadiy, who was its tool when
he was elected, and favors Mr.. Thurman. whom
it stabbed under the fifth rib year ago. Gov
ernor Hoadly says no will not accept the re-
nomination unless it is unanimously rendered,
but delegates hostile to him have beer elected
in many parts of the State, and particularly in
Cincinnati, his own home, and yet nobody ex-
poets him to decline. 1t seems to be President
Cleveland's wish that he should be the candi-
late. and the President has promised him the

STRIKERS WHO Make VAR ON JUDGES
The latest performance of the Knights of
Labor differs entirely from an ordinary strike
for wages. 1t does not appear that there is any
direct controversy between the men employed
on the railroads west of the Mississippi and
the companies which employ them. Neverthe-
less, the order issued by the Knights of Labor
applies to all the roads west of the Mississippi,
and, if obeyed, requires the men to stop work
whether they have any controversy or not
The organization known as the Knights of
Labor has controversy with tho Wabash
Railway Company, bcc,Iuse that company has
refused TO treat tho organization IA it claims
that it ought TO be treated Therefore the
organization calls upon the men to fight its
battles. Theoretically, it exists only to defend
the interests Of the men when they require
assistance. But in this instance it acts as if the
men had no higher interest than to defend the
organization, whether they get any work or
not. strike for wages, or to resist reduc-
ton of wages OF to resist regulations which are
dangerous to the health or safety of men
employed, stands upon an entirely different
basis. In this case the real ground of offence
is that the Wabash Railway Company has
preferred 10 employ men who do not belong to
particular organization, where it can do so,
and has refused to recognize the organization
as having any right to speak for or act in behalf
of the men it employs.
The controversy of the organization known
as the knights of Labor, though nominally with
certain railroads west of the Mississippi River,
has come to be in effect a controversy with the
United States and State authorities. In their
formal statement, the strikers den0nnce certain
Judges Of the United States and OF Stale courts,
particularly Judges Treat, Brewer and KrcKel,
= for rialfeasance in Office and for high treason
TO the American people," and demand their inn
parchment. These Judges arc men OF the
highest standing and character, and there are
not many OH the bench who have more fully

deserved public confidence. But they have
faithfully and honestly enforced laws enacted
for the protection of citizens and companies IN
the exercise of their rights. When strikers
have resorted to acts of violence, these judges
have enforced the law against them, precisely
as they would against other persons guilty Of
lawless violence, whether strikers or not. In
effect. then, the strike is an organized resist
ance to the laws of certain States and OF the
United States, and there will be not little
public interest to see how il results.

THE PRELIMIHARY YACHT RACES.

OF the many absDrbingly interesting features oil
the yacht race to-day. which is one OF a series OF
contests between the two new American sloops for
tho honor of defending the Americas cup against
the British crack cutter Genesta none is more
gratifying tLan the fact that It's result is hopelessy
beyond reasonable speculation. Everybody knows
that two boats wholly different to model and rig
each depending upon points of construction and
sail to which the other Is total stranger will sail
extremely close race in which the final advan-
tage IS almost sure to he slight Each represents
different combination of the most recent results OF
nautical science. each Is experiment, and each is
known to he able to do work that gives 1t high
rank in the international pleasure feet. The out
come OF such a rivalry must be exciting.
In the late cruise of the New-York Yacht Club the
Puritan obtained decided though slight advantage
tie Priscilla-decided because she won all the
real races with single exception; slight because
her victories were measured in seconds. Since then
the Priscilla has made several changes in her rig
which yachtsmen are unanimous in considering ms
improvements and 1t will require only tride more
speed to give her the superior place. Both boats are
likely to DO sailed WE'LL though the skipper of the
Boston sloop scarcely be expected to know the
so thoroughly as those who will command the
Priscilla. and who have sailed them dozens OF
times. All these considerations lend additional
interest TO the match and make il event of rare
concern to those who accomplishing so much for
the improvement of the yachting sport.
