Nc Sow York CentraPs Purchnse

The New York CentraPs Purchase.
1t is said that the West Shore railroad,
which was built as a rival road to the
New York Central, has passed into the
possession Of the latter.
the monopoly of the New York Central
OF the business of the West which seeks
an outlet on the seaboard at New York is
now stronger than ever, The building OF
the West Shore was an effort TO DESTROY
the New York Centra's monopoly. The
effort failed, and it will be a long while,
perhaps, before another effort will be
made.
The West Shore property will pass into
the CenHaPs possession at a price very
much below its original cost. The stock
holders will get nothing, and the bond
holders will get fifty cents on the dollar
in new bonds for the bonds which origi-
nally cost them seventy-fye cents on the
dollar.
1t is a question whether 1t would not
have paid the business men of New York
and some of the interior cities to have
shouldered the debts of the West Shore.
and made IL a competitor of the Central.
New York merchants have made many
complaints against the Central. Fortified
against possible competition it is hardly
probable that that powerful corporation
will now make any concessions TO New
YOrk's interests where those interests
conflict with its own interests.

Why Sumner Answered Bassett.


from the Mean York tribune.
An incident of Charles summers life came
to me last week which illustrates to some ex-
tent the difficulty he afterWbrd had with Gen.
Grant. The position OF Minister to Hayu had
been offered TO Prof Langston by President
johnson and refused. L. z. Bassett, now the
Eaytleu representative IN New York city,
WAS then an ambitious cOl0red lawyer of
Philadelphia. a graduate of Harvard Univer-
sity. He wrote to Lan4stOn and also to Fred
erlck Douglass, whose name was mentioned
Tor the position, asking their influence for
hlm. Douglass replied that he WAS not d
candidate, and LangstOn sought earnestly to
secure Bassetts appointment. Sumner at
hrst opPOsed it, He said: "This position
should not be given to any man VINO does not
speak French. II 1t is to be given to 4
c plOred man without that qualification,
Frederick Douglass should be selected,
because he is the foremost black man
Of the country. Next to him Prof.
Langston, as the best educated cOOred man,
would be acceptable. But about Bassett no
one knows LAngstOn finally secured d
promise from sumner not to oppose the APP
pOlDtmeut Of BassetC il made by the Presi-
dent. Bassctt was well on his way TO Hayti.
when sumner said one day to Langston
where is this man Bassett Of yOurs2 IN ali
the years have heen at the head of the Com
mlttee on Foreign Relations no man has yet
gone abroad TO represent this government
without calling on me. This m an Bassett has
never come near me" Several weeks later,
meeting LangstOn again. the Senator said: 4
have just received q letter from your man
Hassett, asking me WIN books he shall read.
He is = negro, and l Will answer him" The
implication IN his tone and manner was
clearly that he would not have answered the

There is very little, if anything, more TO

ished; but its friends can afford to fight
a long battle. 1t got through the House

Putting a Contemporary Right.

PCtttng contemporary h1ShO.
The Atlanta Constitution cannot re-
strain its delight when it finds anything
( in the MORNING News that appears TO
favor a high protective tariff. This is
owing to the fact doubtless that it has
not been very long since it abandoned
! tariff reform and began TO advocate the
protective system, and it is therefore filed
with JOY when it sees something in a
| journal which advocates tariff reform
which seems to justify its course in
abandoning the position on the tariff
which the Democratic party occupies.
| We nave no fault TO find with the Con-
/ StitutjOh Tor advocating a tariff tor protec-
! ton although, if our memory is not at
fault, we on one occasion inquired why it
had changed from tariff reform to protec-
ton without eliciting an answer.
/ We would be pleased, however, il the
CoHstttuuon would treat US fairly when
| 1t discusses our position with regard to
rice. 1t is probably true, as the CopSt,tu-
ton says, that we neglected to reply TO
one Of Its inquiries as TO our attitude In
the matter OF protection for the rice
! planting interests, but our neglect was
not, as the Constitution well knows,
due to an unwillingness to reply We
! simply declined to state again what we
had already stated several times. More
than one Of our contemporaries, notwith-
/ standing we had defined our position with
regard TO rice, continued to ask the same
question that the Constitution asked,
/ under the mistaken idea that it was EN-
/ barrassing.
! The question was not and is not in the
least embarrassing. We have never asked
any fayors for rice, and have never advo-
| Gated protection for it beyond saying that
| rice and sugar are revenue articles, and
are 50 considered by the leading revenue
| reiormers. The Constitution, in its article
/ Tuesday, says: "But now 1t the NEWS
! boldly announces that it is in favor Of
/ levying prohibition tax on foreign rice
/ for the benefit of Southern rice planters"
rais is very grave mistake, and we do
not understand how it could have been
made by anyone who read our article on
! Broken Rice" We said in that article
nothing more than what we had
said several times previously when
| discussing the broken rice question, viz,
! that we want the law enforced. We don't
want rice admitted practically free OF
| duty while the rice planter is forced to
pay double prices for almost everything
he needs because Of the protective
tariff. We did not discuss the tariff ques-
ton at all In the article to which the Con-
stitutiOR refers. We simply asked for the
enforcement of the law as it
Is; and if we had discussed THE
tariff question we should not have adyo-
Gated the reduction of the duty on rice
while articles which the rice planter must
nave to make his crop are heavily pro-
tected.
Now, having set the Constitution right,
viii that journal explain why 1t changed
so suddenly from a tariff reform to pro-
lection journal?

The Philadelphia Press makes the as
sertion that 'the financial agents of the
State of Georgia, despairing OF finding a
market for the new bonds of that State in
New York, are endeavoring to float them
elsewhere, and Philadelphia investors are
invited TO put their money IN them. The
bonds to the amount OF s., 800, 900 are in the
hands of parties who claim to own them,
but in all probability the State has not re-
ceived the money for them, nor will it re-
ceive it until the bonds pass from the
hands of the speculative brokers to actual
investors" The facts concerning the
sale of the new Georgia bonds have been
so public that it seems impossible
that the Press does not under.
stand the real situation. There are three
OF four papers that appear to be so much
under the influence of Clews, Bullock Il
Company, that they cannot tell the truth
about Georgia bonds and Georgia s
splendid credit. Georgia has sold the
bonds alluded TO, and has a pretty good
cash guaranty that they will be taken by
the purchaser and paid for as they are is
sued, according to the contract.
