POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas has won
complete victory over the steamship lines,
which under the head OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship company so bluntly refused to
carry United States mails except on their
own exorbitant terms The firm attitude of
the postmaster general in this matter has
excited the opponents of the administration
to the most violent denunciation OF his policy
and distortion of the facts. 1t was not only
said that the government was unduly favor
ing foreign lines, enabled by subsidies To
carry mails cheaper, but the incident was
made to serve as a text from which hypo-
critical sermons on the beauties OF the sub
sldy system were preached. Some time ago
IL was announced that the leading company
had so far admitted the justice of General
Villas demand as TO reopen negotiations, aud
now we learn that all three Of the striking
companies, after having lost 100000, have
accepted the terms originally offered, there
by proving the absolute islsity of the asser-
ton that they could not afford to carry mails
at the price named, five cents half ounce
letter. They have gained nothing by their
unpstriotic action bat public contempt, aud
have lost the Havana and Australian mails.

Everhart Versus Darlington.

Congressman Everhart, Republican, of
tho Chester and Delaware district, an
nOunces his intention to run independently
Tor Congress, as he declares that his COM
petit0r for the nomination was not fairly
chosen, having been successful in Chester,
% which county the nomination was con-
ceaed, by reason of throwing out the votes,
in one precinct, of two Republicans on the
ground that they had voted lately for a
Democratic state candidate, although they
declared their intention of sticking to their
party in the future. Congressman Ever
hart believes that these are circumstances
which justify bolt, and that he himself is
now surrounded by them, as his two sup
porters were when they left the track. The
Philadelphia Press thinks that it will be a
merry dance between Everhart and Dar-
.lington, both Republicans, if noDemocrat
comes in to take off the bone when it
would, it thinks, be quite otherwise and
It feels sure that good Republican like
Everhart will not think Of running if there
looms up any such prospect. 1t abides in
acalm confidence that he has or will ar
range with the Democrats of Chester and
Delaware to put up no candidate.
This is very characteristic expression
on the part of the Press, which is even
more interesting and amusing than its Gus
tomary observation through its party spec
tacles 1t is quite oblivious to the manner
In which it gives its case away by its decla-
ration that the candidacy Of Everhart is
fun II he plays alone against Darlington,
but the rankest party treason and the most
horrible of deeds if a Democrat comes in
TO take hand. The obvious deduction
from this logic is that it depends upon the
Chester Democrats whether Congressman
Everhart does an innocent or wicked thing.
Under this aspect Of the matter we are
strongly inclined to believe that the Ches-
ter Democrats will not feel that it is their
duty 10 save Congressman Everhart's party
bacon that they will not be able to see
that it is their province to turn the con-
gressional contest in their district into a
Republican frolic. They are not the sort
OF men to play the fiddle for that kind of a
dance. IL the Republicans can have two
candidates there is no apparent good reason
why the Democrats should not pursue their
usual policy of nominating one. The office
OF representative in Congress is pecu-
liarly partisan one, and the Democrats will
gain nothing by choosing between two Re-
publicans for it. The party never has
gained by any such policy. 1t has occa-
sionally been misled into trying it when
electing senators or congressman, and has
generally taken nothing by its motion, as
It deserved to take nothing. 1t is the pol
Icy Of the party to nominate Democrats
for such offices, and to let the Republicans
6ght out their quarrels.

said to Permit the Passage OF Shsd and t,ss
Above the Columbia Dam.


Prom the Harrisburg Independents
From the day the dam at Columbia, Lam
caster county, was erected TO feed the tide
water canal the villages, boroughs, cities and
counties through which the Susquehsnna
river runs west OF that point, have been de-
prived of shsd, which they had in abundance
prior to the obstruction in question. Since
then every kind of device has been invented
and tested to serve rs tishwsy in the dam
aforesaid, but still no shad. or At least not in
large quantities. found their way WESTWARD
10 the old and once famous spawning grounds.
Ii il now claimed that a tishway has been in
vented that will permit the passage of shad
and other fish above the Columbia dam.
In 1854 William Henry Rogers, Of Nova
Scotia, obtained patent on tishway of his
own invention. IL received its first trial In
the Liverpool river, Queens county, Nova
Scotia. and proved So successful that the
Cansdian government Immediately adopted
IL There are now fifty of these tishwsys in
use in Canada and Nova Scotia and others in
course of construction. One halt of the cost
of their erection Is paid by the government,
besides what Is paid Mr.. Rogers for the use
of his patent The tshways used in the
United States and other parts OF the world
are constructed ON the principle of getting
the fish around or over the dam. MIR. Rogers
device takes the fish up through the base OF
dam TO the pool above. IL thus provides for all
hunctuation OF water, n sufficient amount
always being on hand to allow the fish free
passage through the iishwsy.
In May, lSS6, the fish commissioners OF

Mr.. G0wen has come to an agreement
with the syndicate that undertook to re-
organize Reading without consulting
him, and signally failed. 1t was
paralyzed by the failure of the owners
OF the junior securities, whose cham
plOn Mr.. Gowen was, to come up to the
rack and take the fodder offered them.
The alternative the syndicate had was to
foreclose the property which it could not
afford to do, because of the loss of the val
nable franchises it had, although they pre-
tended that they were going on to do it.
The foreclosure proceedings would have
been at any rate slowp,ocess for reorgan-
ization.
MIR. G0wen, on the other hand, does not
seem to have been able to command the
capital needed to reorganize Reading as he
wanted to do. The natural consequence
OF the failure of either side TO compass
their ends has been compromise, in which
each claims to have got all they wanted
and to have brought the other side to their
knees. They seem to be all on their knees,
along with the Reading. Mr.. Gowen goes
out OF the Reading, which he has always
declared his readiness to do if
the reorganization could be made to
protect the junior securities. His
friends, however, have been admitted into
the syndicate and apparently the new COM
-psny will be managed in sympathy with
his views; which have been to keep it out
~ Rennsylvania railroad control. This is
y nteat gain for the public interests.
\ not clear, however, that the stock
holders have much better protection than
- syndicate offered them, although all the
defails of the plan Of reorganization are
pot formulated. The stockholders will
ave 70 take the carcass, stripped as it is to
no bone, and trust to the rehabili tating

procured a iatherless babe from its erring
mother at the city hospital, and after Snug
Cling it into the house went to bed and de-
ceived her husband, and even her female
friends, by playing sick. All thought the
child was hers. She had been observed car

told everybody she met of the deception
Now the poor woman's husband has absn-
doned her, and she is compelled to keep the
baby thus strangely adopted.

THE Greenback-Labor folk get things
mixed. They wanted to declare against
large landed holdings by individuals
and corporations, and especially by foreign
ers, which would be a sensible declaration
but they floundered badly in trying to say
what they meant and to provide remedies
for the evil they forgot to denounce.
Like party platforms generally the resolu-
tions are poor guide 10 the party idea. This
party calls for production of an unlimited
currency, short hours of labor, exclusion OF
aliens and farm for everybody. 1t may be
termed "rhe Fenceher-A Around party"
which considers that this country is sufficient
unto herself and wants no foreign market or
goods or people. We are TO have a right
sociable time all to ourselves, with paper
money abundant enough to go easily around
and only enough work for us to keep healthy
When these things come to pass we ought to
be happy.
