VARIOUS QUESTIONS.

A clue regard for the interests and
prosperity OF all the people demands
that our finances shall he established
upon such a sound and sensible basis
as shall secure the safety and confidence
Of basineas interests, and make the wage
Of labor sure and steady, and that our
system OF revenue be 40 djusted sa to
relieve the people from unnecessary
taxation, having duo regard 10 the in.
terosts of capital invested and working
men employed in American industries ;
and preventing ths accumulation OF
surplus in the treasury 90 an extent
that induces ex.ravagance aud waste.
Care for the prosperity OF the nation
aud for the needs Of future settlers re-
qnire that the public domain should be
protected from purloiaing schemes aud
unlawful occupation.
The conscience of the people demands
tha. the Indians within our boundaries
shall be fairly and honestly treated as
wards of the government, aud their
education and civilization promoted
with view TO their ultimate citizen
ship.
Polygamy in tho territories ia de-
structive of the family and of religion,
and offensive TO the moral sense Of the
civilized world, aud shall be repressed.
The laws should be rigidly enforced
which prohibit immigration OF a serviIe
class to compete with American labor,
with no intention OF acquiring citizsn-
ship, and bringing with them and re-
tanning habits and customs repugnant
to our civilization.
The people demand reform in the
administration of government and APP
plication of business principles to public
affairs, and as means TO this end civil
service reform shoald be in good faith
enforced. Our citizens have right to
protection from the incompetercy of
public employees, and these who hold
their places solely as a reward of paIti-
san service, and from the corruptive
influence of those who promise and the
vicious methods Of those who expect
such rewards. Those who worthily
seek public employment have the right
to insist that merit aud Competency
shall be recognized instead of party
Subserviency or surrender of honest
political belief.
In the administration of a govern
ment pledged to do equal and exact
justice to all men, there should be no
prstext for anxiety touching the pro-
lection of freedmen in their rights or
their security in the enjoyment Of their
privileges under the constitution aud
its amendments. ALI discussion as to
their fitness for the place accorded to
them as American citizens is idle and
Improbable, except as it suggests the
necessity for their Improvement. The
fact that they are citizens entities them
to all the rights due to this relation, and
charges them with all it's duties, obli-
cations and responsibilities.
IN CONCLUSION.
These topics and the constant and
ever varying wants of an active and
enterprising population may we'll re-
ceive the attention and patriotic en-
deavor of all who make and execute

Ga this auspicions occasion ws may
we'll renew the pledge of our devotion
10 that constitution Which, launched by
the founders Of the republic aud cCnse-
Grated by their prayers and patriotic
devotion, has for = century borne the
hopes and aspirations Of a great people
through prosperity and reace, through
the shock of foreign conflicts and the

The large variety of diverse and CON-
psting interests subject to federal con-
troll, persistently seeking recognition of
their claims need give us no fear that
"the greatest good TO the greatest num-
Der" will fail to be accomplished, if in
the halls of national legislation that
spirit of amity and mutual concession
small prevail in which the constitution
had its birth. Ifthis involves the sur
render or postponement Of private In
terests, and abandonment Of local ad-
vantases, compensation will be found in
the assurance that thus the common in
terest is subserved and the general
welfare advanced.

ATLANTA, August l5.-There is a wide

THE LAW STEPS IN
And Will Probably Euchre Mr..
Vanderbilt.

HARRISBURG, Pa August l5.-It is con-
6denGslly asserted in some official circles
that the Attorney General Of the Common
Wealth will interfere to prevent the c2n-
summation of the bargain between Mr..
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company by which the South Penn and
Beach Creek Railroad comes under the ON
troll OF the Pennsylvania railroad. Section
4 of article l. Of the constitution specifically
prohibits the consolidation or merging Of
competing railroads or their conveying
corporations. 1t has always been held that
legislation was necessary to make
the provision operative and dur
ing the eleven years that have elapsed
since the existenceo OF the Constitution. The
The Legislature has persistently refused to
adopt the appropriate legislation"
1t is said that the process which the At
torney General will adopt will reach the
question, Notwithstanding the failure OF the
legislation to adopt the appropriate legisla-
tior."
The South Pennsylvania and Beach
Creek Railroads we're chartered by the
State since the adoption OF the Constitution
of 1873, and consequently became amena-
BILE toits prohibition clauses without addition
allegislation. These share holders in the two
corporations to be absorbed will apply to
the Attorney General for a msndsmus to
prohibit the majority of the share owners
from disposing of the franchises granted to
the roads in that way, and the Attorney
General will rule in their favor and ask
the Government to revoke the charters, The
best lawyers express the belief that this
course will be at Yanderbilts scheme, and
compel him to proceed with the work of
building the roads or forfeit his interest,
amounting to something like $5,O0O,00O.
Gowan Opposes the scheme.
PIrTsBURG, August l5.-The Chronicle
Telegraph publishes an interview with DR..
Hostetter to-day, in which he states Frank
lin B Gowan has csbled his opposition to
Vanderbilt's sale of the South Penn road,
and further states that Gowsn will take
charge Of the fight against the sale, and that
the report that Andrew Csrnsgie has given
his proxy 10 Vanderbilt is untrue.
