A correspondent of she Baltimore
Sun" writing from LeonardtowD, 81
Mary's county, communicates the fact,
that Washington city will shortly be
put 10 close connection with the At
Iantic ocean by means ofrailroad fac
ilities from that city to Point Look
out. The Southern Maryland rail-
road, now 10 the hands Of Boston cap
talists, is being pushed to completion
as rapidly as money can do it. This
road will also open a depot for the
coal of our mines and those of West
Virginia, in a good harbor, with deep
water, for foreign shipment; thus TAX
ing away from Baltimore much Of the
coal trade it now monopolizes. It
will be the Delaware railroad over
again, which takes the trade of the
Eastern Shore to Philadelphia. and
which Baltimore business men are
now crying over.
The Annapolis and Baltimore
Short Line railroad will soon be COM
pleted, and offers to Baltimore mer-
chants the remedy for securing much
oftheir lost trade with the South, by
continuing that road through South
ern Maryland to the Rappahannock
river, where it Gao strike a new road
which is being built from Richmond
to that river and thus secure through
route for freight and passengers su-
perior to any now connecting the
North and South.
General Seth's scheme to recover
the Eastern Shore trade which is to
be backed by the taxpayers of Balti-
more, is good one, but is of small
value to our commercial city in COM
parison with a continuance of the
Short Line railroad from this city /,
Through Southern Maryland, to a
connection with the Virginia system
OF railroads
VIII Baltimore look to it, that she
is not shorm Of her most imp ortant
trade supplies by more energetic CT
ties? Ittook several years of hard
work to get eastern capitalists to take
hold of the Short Line hint which
may be useful to our neighboring city.

Slipped u Cog.

And now it turns out that Geronimo
was not captured after all; that the willy
Apache surrendered as the result of ne
gotiations with General Miles, and that
the surrender so far from being "uncon-
ditional'' contained express stipulations
that he should be sent to his family in
Florida and should not be turned over to
the civil authorities.
This is very interesting when read be-
tween the lines. 1t leaves General Miles

of punishment followed by diplomacy.
When General Crook left Arizona after
having sent The wives aud family of Ger
onimo and Natchez to Fort Marion,
Florida, he confidently predicted that the
frightened Geronimo and his bucks would
soon be ready to sue for peace through a
strong desire to be with their people. AT
ter twenty weeks of bombastic declara-
tions of what he was about to do through
reversal of Crooks methods, Gen
eral Miles fell back on the theory of his

overtures for their surrender through In
diar scouts, which were promptly ac-
cepted. This IS Geronimos story, fully
corroborated by war department. advices.
A letter received in Washington from an
army officer on duty at Fort Bowie, says
that Geronimo did not surrender unlil
he had had his life assured him. Ger
onimo admits that Captain Crawford s
fight broke his power in January last,
and he would have been glad thereafter
to have surrendered on the same terms as
those on which he has just given himself
up to General Miles.
1t looks as if General Miles literary

The Lord MAYORS Profrer,

1t is to be regretted that the kindly feel
ing shown by the lord mayor of London,
in prot1ering aid to the Charleston earth
quake sufferers, should have induced ex-
pressions that will perhaps defeat the
good intentions of his lordship and de-
prive the sufferers of considerable con
tribution to the relief of their necessities
Certain London newspapers condemned
the proposition, on the general ground
that charity should begin at home, which
of itself might have been regarded as q
proper reason for objection, but when
there papers slurringly referred to the
Charleston people as beggars of ENG
lisl aims" they manifested reprchensi-
BILE spirit which the popular sentiment of
this country will resent. 1t is understood
that it was because OF these expressions
that Minister Phelps suggested to Secre-
tary Bayard that the proposed contribu-
| tions should not be accepted, and if so
| the suggestion was creditable to him as an
| American citizen. II is very likely that
| had the secretary of state known the
| facts he would not have instructed the
| minister TO accept contributions. We
| observe that the mayor of Charleston
| is advised by number of newspapers
not to receive relief funds sent
from London rs contributions of the
English, and although the necessities of
many people in Charleston arc great and
the demand for aid urgent, we arc not
sure that the advice should not be fol-
| lowed. If it be assumed that the senti-
ment of the newspapers reflects the pop
~ feeling in London, there can be no
question ms to .he propriety of refusing
aid from that source, The Charleston
sufferers did not ask for English aims.
The proffer of aid from England was vol
untary, and so far as the lord mayor is
concerned was most creditable to his
sympathes. Moreover, they can get
along without such aid. Their country
men are abundantly able and willing to
provide for their necessities until they
can care for themselves. But a contri-
button to this cause from the English
people, whatever its extent, would il
freely and willingly given be gratifying
evidence of friendly feeling which
perhaps at this time it would be we'll ia
cultivate. 1t Is quite likely that under
the circumstances the mayor of Charles
ton will decline English aid, and in the
meanwhile home contributions ought to
be made SO literally that such aid can be
| easily spared

At the last general assembly of the
Knights of labor held at Cleveland the
general executive board of that body
were instructed to appoint committee
to be known as tho legislative committee
of the Knights of Labor. The object of
the creation of the legislative committee
was to urge upon the attention of con
grcss such legislation as seemed most
desirable for the interests of labor, and
which had already received the support
of lab1ring men through their organiza-
tons; to survey on the ground the opera.
tons of congress; to note what sen
ators and representatives were willing to
abide by their pledges to the people and
to report at the close of the session the
result OF their observations.
The report of the legislative committee
has been made public and furnishes
some interesting reading. 1t is an eX-
haustve review of the causes which
hampered legislation on the eight bills
for whose enactment 100000 Knights OF
Labor petitioned so earnestly. The vote
of the house and senate on these meas
ures are carefully recorded by yeas and
nays and the absentees carefully noted.
But the concluding page of the report
will have the most interest for Nebras-
kans, and they will be particularly in
terested in the following paragraphs;
I'm regard to the senate, your commit
tee is at Il loss TO express an opinion, as
one of the most liberal members of that
body, in conversation with your commit.
tee when they first arrived az the capital,
used the following language: "The house
will yield to popular cldmor but the SEN
ate will not The remark, rs analyzed
by your committee, means the enuncia-
ton of the doctrine as put forth by
William ii. Vanderbilt some few years
ago, viz: "The people be d-d.'
'But there is one man in that body that
stands at all times us u firm friend of the
people. We refer to Senator Charles ii.
Van Wyck, of Nebraska, and we feel that
the interests of the people would be ad-
vanced by his return to the senate as
well as to strengthen his hands by send
ing other members to the senate who will
act in concert with h, m in working for
measures that will benefit the people.

Other Lands Than Ours.

The situation respecting the allen
crossing Bulgarian problem has cleared
somewhat during the past few days, and
the threat of war for the moment has given
place to promise that peace may be
things will remain it is impossible to say
with any degree of certainty, for there
are still complications to be disposed of
and differences TO be overcome. The in
dications, however, are that the zeal of
Russia has cooled somewhat, one of the
strongest of which is the fact that she
has yielded her plan of proceeding alone
in Bulgaria, and intends to treat the
whole question on the basis of the treaty
of Berlin and submit it to the considera-
ton of Europe. Whether there is any
known later, but it is PROBABLY not an
incorrect inference that she was induced
thereto by the attitude of Austria, that
government having notified Germany
that it would oppose any attempt by
Russia to encroach upon the liberties of
the Balkans The response of the
powers to the circular of the porte, giving
assurances that there will be no foreign
military occupation of Bulgaria and no
foreign intervention, Russia guarantee
ing also to the same effect, seems to
promise an amicable adjustment of the
difficulty The address adopted by the
Bulgarian sobranie is pacific in its char
acter, and is characterized by decided
tone favorable to the independence of
the country. A matter of moment soon
to be determined is the choice of ruler
for Bulgaria, and in the decision of this the
hand of Russia may be expected to play
leading part, There are several candi-
dates. all of whom are understood to have
Russian sympathles. The most promi-
ncnt is the Duke of Oldenburg cav
airy officer at St. Petersburg. The reign
ing house of Oldenburg is pro-Russian in
an extreme sense, and could be relied
upon to serve the interests of the czar
as fully as grand duke of the
house of Romanoff. Prince Bis
marcs having gwen his consent,
willingly or otherwise, to the dethrone-
mcnt of Alexander, may sweeten the
dose to the people of North Germany by
annexing Oldenburg to Prussia. Such a
transaction would be in harmony with
the principle of compensations, and
would also imply some guarantee on the
part of Bismarck that the new prince OF
Bulgaria should not be kicked out like

Stirs Up Their Bile.

Senator Van Wyck's appeal to the peo.
pie of Nebraska, and challenge to his
competitors, stirs up the bile of the oppo,
sition, but none of the champions OF the
rall rogue policy dare accept the chal-
lenge.
They meet it at long range with bare
bodkins, laugh at the appeal as nonscnsi-
cal and ridicule the constitutional and
statutory provisions upon which it Is
based as an assault upon the preroga-
tlves of the states and opposition to the
constitution of the United States.
The argument, that the privilege of
expressing preference for United State
senator is Unconstitutional, is certainly
ingenious. We imagine that tho same
argument was used by wire pullers and
rail rogue workers of half century ago,
when certain wise men saw that the
safely OF the country required that the
power of appointing the electoral col
lege be taken from the legislature and
gwen into the hands of the people, OF
