,o,icv The Republican party cannot adopt q
wiser course than to initiate the policy outlined
by the Liberal leader.
TpyJNc TO FIND SCAPEGOATS.

Higgins and Chenoweth excite the ire OF the
professed reformers. The hard language used
about these unhappy individuals by Journals Oh
the Mugwump persuasion is calculated to
arouse some sympathy for them. In one
solemn article of Il column and half they are
called guilty Of conspiracy, treachcry. decep-
ton and foolhardiness, reckless unscrupulous,
cowardy. stupid, audacous, and ever so many
things. Particularly, Higgins is accused OF
falsehood. and the Auditor of indecent threats,
and both of fiat violation of the law Tor when
th,.v ought to be removed from the public
service.
These hysterical outbreaks probably do not
excite Mr. Higgins or Judge Chenoweth TO any
great extent Those worthless are aware that
they hold Office by favor of the President OF the
United States, and not by favor of any Mug
wumn newspapcrs The President saw fit to
appoInt them. notwithstanding full knowledge
of their opinions and methods. 1t Will not be
exactly decent for the President to remove
them now for doing just what he had reason to
expect them to do when they were appointed.
But all this is in the nature of an evasion OF
the main issue. The main question Is whether
the Administration as Il whole Is conducted
with any regard whatever for the law or the
spirit of Civil Service reform. The attempt TO
make Higgins and Chcnoweth couple OF
scapegoats, and thus to divert iatteh'son from
the systematic disregard of the law by the Adj
ministration generally, will not succeed. Inc
fact is that these two persons are doing exactly
what Mr. Manning himself is doing in the
Treasury Department, and Mr.. Lamar In the
Interior Department. and Mr.. Garland and Mr..
Bayard and Mr.. Villas in their departments,
and exactly what the President himself has
been doing Going little lower, Higgins Is
not in the least more offensive than Black, ana
Chcnoweths performances are only on
level with the search for charges of offensive
partsanshp by the Post Office Department.
Until this Administration is ready to turn itseli
out of Office for violating the Civil Service Act,
it can hardly find an excuse for getting rid OF
Higgins and Chenoweth.
New-York tribune., 1885-07-10

NO MONEY For THE HARLEM BRIDGE.
There still seems to remain n chance To pre-
vent the success of the Harlem River Bridge
iob CORPORATION Counsel Lacombe finds 1t is
true that the law authorizing the construction
of the bridge is mandatory in absolutely requir-
ing the appointment of the commissioners.
Those who had the scheme in hand were too
shrewd and experienced in that kind of work 10
permit it to fail because Of any loose drafting
of the statute. But whatever their influence IN
the Legislature, there was point to which II
would not reach. They could make the law
provide for the prompt appointment OF COM
missoners. but they were not able to provide
for rs promptly supplying the commission with
the money necessary to execute the job.
The Corporation Counsel is OF the opinion
that even if the commissioners were TO be
selected to-day they would be absolutely
stayed from doing anything until next January,
simply because they would have no funds To
work with The bondcd Indebtedness of the
city cannot be increased for the purpose.
because the authorities are advised that 1t
already exceeds the limitation fixed by the con-
stitutional amendment of last year. 1t is too
late to add ap appropriation To this years tax
levy, and the balances OF unexpcnded appropri-
ations-the only other source from which the
money could come-is now about exhausted.
Until next year therefore the city would seem
to be safe from the depredations of those who
are seeking to make the construction of this
bridge at an enormous expense the means OF
approaching the value OF real estate in the
vicinity in which they are Interested. In the
meantime, the opinions of taxpayers on this
subject are likely to be heard with no uncertain
sound The result at the ballot-boV next
autumn may then prove a sufficient warning to
the next Legislature to undo the evil threat
ened by the passage of the Bridge bill at the
last session The people have IL still in their
power to prevent the Harlem job proving

success.

Some surprise has been expressed during the
past week at the unsatisfactory figures of the
Lake Shore report for the first half of the year.
1t must be admitted that the report was of a
sort TO be unsatisfactory, even TO those who
had prepared themselves to receive unfavorable
tidngs. During the first half Of 1850, this
great company earned S9,000,0O0, and its
operating expenses were S5,00O,O0 its net
earnings over 81, 900, 900, and its surplus over
fixed charges $2.673.6l6, or 50 IL profit for
each share But during the first halt of 1855
the gross earnings had fallen to about
SO 10O, 900, the net earnings To about
81, 800, 900, and instead OF any surplus over
fixed charges there appeared deficit of
$50, COG, or II cents for each share of stock.
10 is not to be denied that so great decline as
this indicates an extraordinary change, though
not necessarily n permanent one, IN the cOndi-
tions of the property. Every holder OF Lake
Shore stocks or bonds. and every person who
has dealt in those securities during the past
year, understands perfectly well that the diff
Guilty has been rather in the increase of compct
ing lines than in the decrease of traffic. Ii is
true that the railroads have been doing less
business than they did in previous years. and it
routes is at present unusually severe and the
rates charged for lake and canal transportation
unusually low. Nevertheless t in the fact that
higher rates might be and probably would be
secured for transportation by water if the
desperate competition between the railway
lines during the past few years had not de-
pressed rates beyond all reason. This report
may be taken as a sample of many others, with
which the holders of securities within the past
few years have been made unhappily familiar.
But it is worth while TO ask whether the
gloomy feeling which such returns naturally
prompt has not gone about far enough. IL is
true that the building of the Ncw-York,
Chicago and ST. Louis has impaired the earning
power of the Lake Shore for some years, and
that most seriously that the West Shore has
in like manner affected the earning power of
the New York Central; that the building of
additional lines across the continent has seri-
Ously affected. ut least for time, the value of
those previously built So it has been in all
parts of the country. The last era of excessive
preceded, especially in this that it was an era
of unnatural and excessive competition.
largo part of the railway mileage built during
that period was expressly intended to divide
the traffic of roads previously in existence and
enjoying nigh degree of prosperity. But the
depression which has since taken place cannot
fail to bear fruit. Indeed, 1t is quite certain to
have produced results in two distinct hirec-
tions. 1t has taught the railroad managers

they cannot take to themselves large profits by
means of such arrangements with each other
without inviting destructive competition by the
building of new railroads.
On the other hand, it has taught the capital
lists who were inclined to build competing lines
four or five years ago, and who c0nsihcreu 'n''
about the most promising industry IN the couh-
try and invested large sums of money III such
undertakings with bounalesS confidence, ,thateh-
terprises Of that nature are by no means as
surely profitable rs they imagined. Ihey nave

it comes to pass that there are to be fewer roads
built in the future purely for the purpose OF
connecting with established lines. On the other
hand there are to be fewer efforts made by
combination OF pooling to maintain such rates
for traffic as to secure especially attractive
profits.
Thus, under the operation of natural laws it
is gradually coming to pass that the roads
which can do the business will have iau op-
portunty to do it at reasonable terms with
greater security than before against reckless
competition. The country is growing and with
great rapidity Within a very few years It's
traffic will suffice to support in prosperity
twice rs many lines of railway as were so sup
ported five years ago. Hence 1t is not unreason-
able to believe that if the railroads have been
taught to manage their affairs more wisely, and
if outside capitalists have been deferred by the
experience of the past from investing rccklcssly
in new competing lines, the growing traffic OF
the country may at no distant day bring fair
profits to all the companies that now stand on II
solid footing.
