A QUESTION OF DAMAGES.

Damages to freight is the burden
of this song, and who is RESPONSE
bic for the damage. For instance
you have some freight shipped
from Baltimore to Tallulah, the
agent Of the B & o. road concludes
to ship IL by way of East St. Louis,
and it is about the same
distance from Baltimore to
East st. Louis as it is from
Baltimore to Vicksburg and not
much more than it is from East st.
Louis to Vicksburg, you have there
fore to pay nearly double what you
should pay. WHAT'S the remedy?
The only one discovered so far is
to growl.
Again you order some freight in
New Orleans. A barrel of flour
and barrel of coal oil are among
the goods ordered. You have them
shipped by boat. When you open
the flour you find it to be soaked
with coal oil. You enter complaint
with the r. r. They say they did
not put the two barrels near each
other, and the boat people say the
same thing. What are You going
to do about it?
You buy some furniture in New
York. 1t is shipped over several
lines at "owners risk" but you
are charged q special rate because
furniture is a class of goods easily
damaged. You assuming all the
risk makes no difference. When the
goods arrive, a looking-glass is
broken to pieces. Who broke it .?
What particular line was the fur
niture on, when the glass was
smashed, and what line is respon-
sible, if any, for the damage, the
line that received the goods from
the shipper or the line that deliv-
cred the goods to the consignee :?
Only a lawsuit will settle the ques-
ton, and that costs more than the
damaged goods, and-you may lose
the suit.
Where a sufferer can get no sat
isfaction for such accidents, all the
expense of getting damages, should
be saddled on the party doing the
damage, and little legislation
towards that end, would be appre-
ciated by the public.

in this city. Was it "a change
from worse to better" to reappoint
Republican Postmaster Pearson; to
make Thompson's man Hedden
Collector; to make Thompson's eX-
Republican Secretary, Beattie, Sur
veyor in place of James L. Bene-
dict before the latter's term had
expired; to turn out Gen. Graham,
an experienced and valuable officer,
merely for the sake of appointing
Col. Burt, another Republican ?

Look at the public departments,
crowded with partisan and unfit
Republicans. Through mugwump
influence and advice seven-eighths
of all the Republican partisan office
holders remain in office. Is this a
change from worse to better-an
amendment Of what is defective,
vicious or corrupt?"
Mugwump platitudes of reform
are often sham, and we hope the
President will soon recognize it

Reform Defined.

The position" of the World is
one of earnest sympathy with all
the substantial Democratic reforms
carried out by Mr.. Cleveland in
accordance with the principles
upon which his party made him
president. But what is real Gre
form 2" Webster gives the defni-
ton as follows:
z Reform fsffnl AmeHii t1lffentt Of ST uhhut
is defectire, ricious, corrupt or de-
prared;; reformation, as reform of
parliamentary elections; reform of
government.
Worcester gives the verb:
Reform, a. a. To change from
tcorse to better; to correct; to amend;
to restore; to reclaim.
In Ogilvie's Imperial Dictionary
we find:
Reform, ~. Any Encouragement
which either brings back a better
order of things which has been
fallen away from or reconstructs the
present order IN an entirely ne,u form ;
amendment of what is defective,
vicious, corrupt or depraved; a
change from seorse TO better.
The Mugwump claim, that the
mere retention of an army of unfit
Republican partisan officials by a
Democratic President is "reform,"
we certainly do not admit, nor the
other assertion that that the most
active honorable party leaders
must be set aside and ignored to
make room for obscure "total-ab-
stinence" or no-party" Democrats.
Will any Refcrmer pretend that
a man of the strictest honor, OF
superior ability, of ripe experience,
a perfect French scholar, like ex-
Senator Thurman, was not more
entitled than Mr.. McLane to the
French mission, or Mr.. Phelps to
the English Is it not true tina,
most of the foreign missions-the
honors of the National victory
were denied to those most entitled
to them by reason of character, tai
ents and honorable party services,
and conferred upon obscure, un,
known, no-party men who had
never made a Democratic speech in
their lives?
Look at the results Mugwump
advice and Mugwump man-work-

Mrs. wlnslow's soothing syrup.

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman:-We would
by no means recommend any kind OF
medicine which we did not know to be
good-particularly for infants. But Of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge, In our own
family it has proved blessing indeed
by giving an infant troubled with collie
pains quiet sleep, and the parents un.
broken rest at night. Most parents car
appreciate these blessings. Here is az
article which works to perfection anC
which is harmless; for the sleep which II
affords heinfant is perfectly natural ,and
the little cherub awakes "bright as q but
ton" And during the process of teeth
ing its value is incalculable. We have
frequently heard mothers say that they
would not be without it from the birth o.
the child till it had finished with the
teething siege, on any consideration
whatever. Sold by all druggists. 2

ABILENE, June ESPECIAL. - The
indications are that another warfare
will soon be waged against the
demi monde and the other worthless
and dissolute characters of the CITY.
The new outburst of popular indigus-
ton is occasioned by the daring Son-
duct of several soiled doves Of the east

house several nights ago. Thew
were arrayed in costly costume /,
and selecting seats IN the most costly
and fashionable part of the amphithea-

They were hauled up the next day and
heavily assessed, together with their es

inmates of the various dens that thew

to ply their avOcations elsewhere.
West Texas promises shortly to have
one of the best summer resorts In the
State. The Texas IL Pacific
Railroad Company, with commendable
enterprise, recognizes the great natural
advantages offered at Toyah, and also
at Sierro Blanco, at the junction of the
Sunset, and will shortly add to the i'm
provement of the hotel at one or the
other place. Toyah, especially, has ex-
cellent health facilities, and Governor
