The Is. q o. People Assuming the Aggressive
in All Directions.

1t is believed in railroad circles that Pittsburg
Is to be made q more important point by the Bal
more 81 Ohio people. AS it is now, Pittsburg is
only the terminus Of its Connellsville branch.
The original intention of the Baltimore & Ohio,
in the lifetime of President John w. Garrett,
was to make the main line from Baltimore to or
to q point near Connellsville, thence west to
Greenfield, in Washington county, and by way
of the Pike Run or Ohio & Baltimore Short Line
to Washington, Pa, and thence west over the
old Hempfeld to Wheeling. w. Va, where it
will connect with the transohio division of the
Baltimore & Ohio. This line is shorter, very
~ouch shorter, than the present main stem from
Cumberland to Wheeling, and avoids the
heavy grades over the mountains. 1t was the
short route of the late Mr.. Garrett, and it was
his life's ambition to see it constructed. 1t is
said that he had made a written contract TO COM
plete this line, and his son, the present chief ex-
ecutive of the company, has declared his inten.
tioR to carry out literally the terms of this leg
acy of his father. Over S., 900, 900 have been ex-
pended in grading and in procuring the rights Of
way, and as soon as the company is able to turn
Its attention for a time from it's eastern interests
the new road will be completed. 1t is admitted
that President Garrett has the most progressive
ideas, and it is said that he will within the next
few years place his road in a position to actively
and successfully compete with not only the
Pennsylvania railroad, but also the New York
State ~lihoS-for the traffic east and west.

commercial and agricultural interests Of the
country, and has this to say concerning it: ITO

St. Landry democrat., 1885-01-17

There is class OF. government
positions which are not within the
letter Of the civil service statute,
but which are so disconnected with
the policy Of an administration that
the removal therefrom Of the pres
ent incumbents, in my opinion,
should not be made during the
terms for which they were appoint
ed solely on partisan grounds, and
for the purpose Of putting in their
places those who are in political ac-
cord with the appointing power
but many now holding such posi-
tions have forfeited all just claim to
retention, because they have used
their places for party purposes In
disregard of their duty to the peo-
pie, and because instead Of being
decent public servants, they have
proved themselves offensive parti-
sans and unscrupulous manipula-
tors of local party management.
The lessons of the past should be
unlearned, and such officials as well
as their successors should be taught
that efficiency, fitness and devotion
to public duty are conditions OF
their continuance in public place,
and that quiet and nnobtrusive ex-
ercise of individual political rights
is a reasonable measure Of their
party service. !,
If [ were addressing none but
party friends I should deem it en-
tirely proper to remind them that
though the coming administration
is to be Democratic, a due regard
for the peoples interests does not
permit faithful party work always
to be rewarded by appointment to
Office, and to say to them that
while the Democrats may expect
all proper consideration In selec-
tions for offices not embraced within
the civil service rules, it will be
based upon sufficient inquiry as to
the fitness instituted by those charg-
ed with that duty rather than upon
persistent importantly Of self-soh-
cited recommendations on behalf OF
candidates for appointment.
Yours very truly,

Customs Revenue.

The figures that have been pub
lished Of the amounts of money
which the various European nations
collect annually through their GUS
tomhouses show that, if a govern
ment wishes to obtain a large rev.
enue from this source, it cannot af-
ford to adopt probationary range
of charges. The continental ma
tions are all protectionist in their
customs systems, and yet, with the
exception Of France, none of them
obtain SO large an annual revenue
from customs as Great Britain,
which puts a duty on only about q
dozen articles. Judging from this
contrastedI experience these are
wholly at fault who maintain that
we should part with too much Of our
revenue if we reduced the burden
some duties we are now paying
On the contrary, it is presumable
that we could collect from this
source all the money that we nov
do by limiting the collection OF duty
| to thirty or forty items, and putting
these upon strictly revenue basis

Pools . Public Mischief.

A pool to make coal dear is as 8
bad as q combination to make bread
dear. This being undeniable, the
fact in question can only be regard
ed as q public mischief, calculated
to create popular tumult and gener-
al distress. Why, then, is not such
a pool Of the nature OF a conspiracy
which comes within the province o.
the government to suppress? Ii q
strike Of laborers is a turbulence:
why is not a pool Of corporations
entered into to levy exacting prices
for a necessary of life, equally tur-
bulent and, therefore, also a me-
mace Of the public peace and Sc.
curitv? The people will want tc
know all about this in due time.
