Still a Lively Competitor,

For wrecked road the West Shore does
some fast running. Last week special carry
ing the officials of the Baltimore & Ohio, Grand
Trunk and West Shore railroads, was run from
Buffalo to New York under the personal super
vision of Mr.. G. w. Bradley, general superin-
tendent of the road. Mr.. Carol Whitaker,
attorney for the West Shore road, who vouches
for the correctness of the figures given, states
that the time was taken by stop watches, and is
claimed to be the fastest ever made in this
country. The train, which consisted of three
cars travelled one stretch of 200 miles in 1893
minutes. A distance of fifteen miles was made
in thirteen minutes, while squirt of one mile
was run in forty-three seconds The distance
from Frankfort to Coeyman's Junction, ninety
three miles, was made in one hundred minutes
while the distance from the latter station to
eight minutes. including stop at Glen Erie for
water.

road in the threatened or partially consummated
recevership of the property 1t is
proposed to push the matter to an immediate
decision, if possible, and unless an exparte order
for receiver is obtained in this State it seems
probable that Receiver Dick will obtain free
possession of the road. No application for a
receiver has yet been made in Ohio.

Prospective Reforms

Unquestionably with the organizing Of the
Central Traffic Association, several important re-
forms will folow-For instance, the consoiida-
ton of fast freight lines. The Journal has Off
cia authority for saying that three of the fast
freight lines on the Vanderbilt system are to be
consolidated Then, in the passenger service
there is to be a general overhauling. Outside
Offices and outside agents are too numerous and
too expensive. 1t seems probable that the action
recently taken by the roads east of Chicago which
abolishes the commission payable to scapers or
other agencies, and provides that tickets
shall be sold other than by regularly appointed
ticket agents at regular city or depot Offices,
will have much to do with reforming the conduct
OF passenger traffic throughout the country.
Inc paying OF commissions to scalperS has no
DOUBT had more to do with demorallzlng the pas
Senger business of railroads than anything else
that can be maintained. By this practice scalp
ers have been in a position to offer lower rates
than the roads themselves, by using part of their
commission for the purpose of cutting the rates.
There will be less of this. The practice of pay
ing ticket commissions to regularly appointed
ticket agents is an old one and is quite gener
ally believed in by railroads throughout the
country. But the paying of commissions to
scalpers is becoming a serious obstacle and one
which will sooner or later be done away with.
That there can be a large reduction in operating
the passenger departments without the business
of the roads suffering. is conceded on all sides.
Receivers Find 1t Troublesome to Pay Oper-
ating Expenses.
Freight men are watching the movements of
competing lines closely, and, as surprising as it
may seem, two or three agents are anxious that
some agent should act dishonorable and directly
or indirectly cut rate, to afford them an excuse
for so doing, and there is now and then ship
per intent on coaxing some line to do something
which shall create break. But as long as
Chicago and St Louis adhere strictly to tariff
rates indianapolis roads should by all means.
Another war on rates, says old freight man,
means that 60 per cent. of the roads in the
country will go into bankruptcy. The fact is,
however, rates have come down to point where
even bankrupt roads have to stop. 1t is an old
saying that a receiver is a hard man to fight,
because the more money he can take in the more
he can make. But the decentralization is now
so complete that the receiver has to hustle
around in order to get money with which to pay
operating expenses. and there never was a time
when. in spite of the abnormal ease of the
money market, receivers certificates were in
such discredit. There are more roads which
have run in debt to pay the cost of their opera
ton during the past quarter than have earned
the regular dividend. When this point is reached
something has to be done.

New YORK. July 15.-The joint executive
committee of the passenger department of the
trunk lines met here day. The session lasted
nearly the whole day About twenty roads
were represented. The chairman of
the Chicago local committee reported
that the efforts to form local pool at that point
were still in progress. A general discussion was
had as to the best manner of making pools,
and it developed an anxiety on the part
of all concerned that something definite
be arranged, without further delay. The pool
contract expired on the LIST of July,
but before and since, rates were cut in
east and west bound business. The differ
entail rate system and the percentage system
were discussed at length, but no definite action
taken upon the adoption of either. The ques-
ton of putting all the business of the pool
in the hands of one organization
was favored by majority Of those present An
Eastern and Western pool was favored by some
The whole matter was left open for future de-
liberation.

II is breach of confidence for q
member or an officer of the Senate to
disclose the transactions of secret ses-
sion. until the removal Of the injunc-
ton Of secrecy by a formal resolution OF
that body. Still, newspaper correspond
ents generally manage to find them out,
in some way. So well known was their
accomplishment in this direction that
Senators would oftentimes 60 to the re-
porters for information as to what had
been done in secret session, instead OF
the reporters to the Senators! Once, q
Senator, going to the Senate rather
late in the afternoon, met a cor
respondent coming from the Capitol.
The law-maker asked what was being
done in the Senate. 20, nothing inn
portant, was the answer. "They have

PALPABLE FRAUDS.
The Government Of the Country stolen b!
Fraud and Violence.

The Government of the Country stolen by
Fraud and Violence.
General Browne points out the start
ling fact that of the 1,242,474 voters
of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina, but 623, 1877
cast votes, or had their votes counted.
Statistics show that in the States named
there are 623,392 white and 6l9,03a
colored voters. The total vote cast for
all Presidential candidates in the last
election was less than the white vote
alone by some 200 votes. What does it
meanP And what became of the over
half million votes that made no show
ing? Is it possible that the colored
vote Of the States named has been
suppressed The election returns
ought to show. With a total vote of
over 100000, and reinforced by white
Republicans, some one or more of
these States should have chosen Presi-
dental Electors that would represent
such voters. The result indicates that
not one was chosen or returned elected.
Is there any man, North, South East
or West, simple enough TO believe that
such result could come from anything
but violence or fraudP Had the 600, 900
colored voters of those States, rein
forced by the white Republicans resid-
ing there-and there are thousands
such-been allowed to vote as they
pleased, and had their votes counted as
cast, there is no doubt in the world but
that James G.. Blaine would to-day be
President-clect In other words, the
Administration of this country has been
stolen by wholesale fraud and brutal
violence.
The manner in which the Republican
majority of 10000 in the Fourth Con-
gressional District of Alabama was
wiped out is undoubtedly fair example
of how like results were brought about
generally throughout the States in
question. A half million votes can not
be suppressed or be unaccounted for
without crime against popular suffrage.
Nor can sixty townships be thrown out
on frivolous pretexts without somebody
earning q term in the penitentiary.
Yet, with all these palpable frauds, no
body ever heard OF anybody being held
accountable in the South. It is hard Ia
prophesy the end Of systematic outrages
upon popular suffrage. That retribu.
ton will come, in time, there can be nc
doubt, aud that it will fall upon the
heads of the perpetrators of these gross
wrongs is quite certain. The solution
may come peaceably, through reyolu-
ton in favor of legitimate business over
ballot-box stuiling and bulldozing. 1t
will be this, or the scoundrels RESPONSE
bic for it will fall out among themselves
in their fight over the spoils Of stolen
triumphs, when the right will at last
come out victorious, as come it must. -

TO BE PlTIEp.

Ono Class of Clerks Who Shall BE Protect
ed, buttho Chances are Against Them.
It is sorry thing these days to go
through the departments and see how
real is the fear among the men and
women who work hard to earn their
living that, after this winter, they arc
likely 10 be dismissed at any time. 1
am now writing about 1t, not in any
way as politician nor with any refer
ence to its bearing on politics, but
simply rs q social fact. Despite all as
surances TO tile contrary, the majority
Of clerks expect to see others in their
places before tho year is out. This they
do not ascribe TO President Cleveland,
but argue that the pressure will be great
upon The heads of departments and the
President can not be expected TO keep
his eyes opon TO protect every minor
clerk whom dozen Democrats are
waiting TO succeed. The most OF this
apprehension comes from Southeiners.
The Republicans who now hold places
assigned 10 the South viii not be so
easily tolerated as those from tho North.
To large degree the former are refu-
gees. Many Of them would hardly dare
70 return TO tho States from which they
were appointed. They have no party
nor social friends behind them there.
A large number are widows, whose hus-
bands fell in the year which followed
the war, on account of their politics.
Northern men were murdered in tho
days OF reconstruction and later, whose
families came here and were provided
for. II would be an interesting census
to know how many Of the black-yeiled
women who throng the departments
are sombcr relics OF the bloody
terrorism OF the Ku-Klux. These peo-
pie do not expect TO be long retained.
They do not properly now hail from the
State TO which credited, and the people
who will control that patronage have
no feeling for their needs. l have in
mind now u widow from Mississippi,
whose husband. an Iowa man. was
killed dozen years ago for beng a
Republican. Since then She has worked
hard at desk, earning 81, 200 year,
and educating her children. They are
yet hardly old enough TO look out for

IDEAL STATESMEN.
Reasons Why the Sentiment OF the South
Favors Davis.

Reasons Why the Sentiment OF the South
Favors Davis.
Senator Lamar feels that 1t Is his duty
as Senator from Mississippi, whenever
the name Of Jefferson Davis is men,
toned, to express the sentiment of ''the
people," His people, it is to be re-
membered, are minority of the citi-
izcns of Mississippi, viz, certain white
Democrats who have got possession of
that S ate by assassination and massa-
ere, and who retain pos session by fraud.
This organized band of law-breakers
naturally regard jefferson Davis with
yeneration. He Is their ideal states
man. He deliberately broke the sol
emn oaths which he took TO support the
Constitution and the Government Of the
Union, just as they, the white Demo
Gratis of Mississippi, violate all sorts Of
oaths, official and other. in order to rob
the majority OF the people of that State
of their rights. Jefferson Davis, a SEN
ator of the United States, deliberately
conspired as traitor against the United
States Government to overthrow it,
just as Mr.. Lamar, and Mr.. George,
and other white Democrats deliberately
conspirod against the State Government
which the people Of Mississippi had es-
tabliShed. Davis was an breaker,
a ,conspirator and r traitor, and the
Democratic leaders Of that State are
oath-breakers, conspirators and traitors,
a considerable number of them being
also assaSsins. IL Is natural that such
a apcople look upon such man with
great admiration. -H
1t would be better, however, II Sena-
tor Lamar would keep his observations
in regard to Mr.. Davis for other places
than the United States Senate, In that
body Mr.. Davis himself once sat, a
traitor to his country, conspiriDg while
there TO overthrow the Government. A
decent sclf-respect might prompt Mr..
Lamar, while occupying seat In that
body, not to boast that he regards with
honor deliberate violation OF the Of
fetal oath which every Senator takes.
Amoderate knowledge of history, too,
might prompt him to remember that,
more than any other man, living or
dead, Jefferson Davis was personally
responsible for the loss Of many precious
lives, for the creation Of q great Ma
tional debt, for the devastation OF South
ern States, and the prolonging Of a war
which, for the last two years at least,
was known to capable men at the South
to be utterly hopeless The insane sell
fish ambition Of Mr.. Davis, or perhaps
the Just fear that he would be made 10
pay tho penalty Of his treason on the
galloys, icpted him TO keep up the con-
test after The Governors Of several Of
the Southern States had become con-
yinced that it ought TO cease in justice
10 the people. IN Y. Tribune.
