One of the funny things of the Inaugural

monplace people 10 force their names on

brought elaborate accounts of their toilets In
their pockets, written out in the most angu-
lar style, and sent their escorts to the press
headquarters with this sort of information.

The success of the strike on the Gould
system Of railroads will probably discourage
other roads that mediiated Gu. down in
the wages of their employees from taking
action at present. Public opinion in the
States through which the Gonld roads run
seems to have been from the start on the
side Of the strikers, and fortunately no acts
Of violence were committed which alienated
1t. Railroad employees are certainly not ov-
erpaid. They perform duties which are
attended with good deal of peril to their
lives, which are constant and very wearing
and involve great responsibility. A good
many Of the railroad companies which justi-
fy cut downs below fair compensation on
the ground that they cannot afford to pay
more, would be able to pay reasonable wages
had they not SO heavily watered their stock.
As bet Been the holders of such stock and
the employees public opinion can be reck-
oned every time on the side of the latter.

The story that Mr.. Blaine had made
special request that Mr.. Morton be not ap-
pointed postmaster at Augusta is doubtless
an invenIIor. 90 TO tho story that Senator
Frye has promised the Hon. Eben F. Pills
bury 10 vote for his confirmation for internal
revenue collector at Boston. In regard to
Mr.. Morton there are certainly strong rea-
sons why the Senate should refuse to con-
firm his nomination If he is appointed. It
will be recollected that Morton last summer
used information which be alleged came to
him while one of the employees of an express
company, and which was confidential, in bis
paper, the New Age, TO make point against
Mr.. Blaine. A man who will abuse conf
dence in this way is not a good man to run
