Squally Times Ahead in Express Circles.
The Journal has information that the Balti-
more & Ohio Express Company. which has. in
st. Louis. occupied the same room with the
United States Express and Pacific Express COM
panies, is to lease the room recently occupied
by the American Express Company in that city.
This movement means more than the
mere announcement would indicate.
Heretofore the United States Express Company
has, under an agreement between the three CON-
panies, carried all the New York business and
the Pacific Express has allowed the B. & o. Ex-
press to bill to points they reached west of St
Louis. The B. & o. felt that as the term goes,
they were getting left, and will now make a fight
for New York business. This has
caused the United States Express to
give them the cold shoulder. This
is not the worst of the case. The Pacific Express
have now, it is said, notified the B. & o. that
hereafter their billing to points west of St
Louis. reached by the Pacific Express must
cease. which will necesstate the transfer of the
property and it's rebilling at ST. Louis, and the
impression in Express circles is that this is to be
the entering wedge to war on express rates.

zen of New Hampshire Of whom it made

The destruction by fire of PASSPORT and
later of Pennington, Me-, two flourishng
New England villages, calls attention to
the inadequate means of eXtnguishng
fires and insufficient water supplies of
many American towns. Pennington had
a population of 5000 and valuation OF
something over S20O0,O0O, and yet its
fire apparatus comprised only an anti
quated hand engine and some hooks and
ladders. East port, though n larger
place, was no better off. The people of
both places had been warned again and
again what the results would be- if Il fire
should ouce gain Roadway, with such i'm
perfect means of controlling it. Bat they
chose to trust to the good fortune which
had hitherto favored them, instead of
going to- the moderate expense of provid-
ing themselves with proper and adequate
means of resisting Il couflagration. The
result of this almost criminal negligence
is that both places are for the most part
in ashes.
There are hundreds Of small towns all
over the country even worse prepared to
fl ght "A destructive fire. What has hap
prued in Maine might easily happen in 20
villages in Vermont; and the only Won
der Is that sweeping contlagratious do not
occur ofteucr in our Unprotected New
EuLlaud towns 1t is, of course, easier to
show the lack, than to suggest remedy,
in such cases But events like the de
struclion by fire of the two thriving vii
lagos in a single New England State,
ought certainly to carry IA moral. The
money values wiped out by these two
fires, would have provided water supply
and fire apparatus for Il hundred villages
and the many towns and villages now un-
provided, should learn lesson of caution
and precautiOn from these events

Commenting on the matter of the
claim of the United states for
arms issued TO Vermont in 1864, the
Springfield Republican remarks that "the
Green Mountain state might hand over
her profits, and then the United States
would be justified in calling the matter
square" Exactly what the RCpublicun
means by profits" is not clear. But We
have no hesitation in saying that if this
State actually made anything out of the
business of protecting the frontier in
lsGi the amount of its profits should be
credited to the United States and allow
ed rs an offset to the just claims of this
State against the general government
on account of war expenditures, In its
final settlement with the government,
which we trust may now he effected
we should he sorry have the
State Of Vermont take advantage of
any merely technical polnt--such as
that there was no distinct provision of
law under which the United States
could demand the return of the arms is
sued to this State in 1864 for the protec-
ton of the frontier As the arms were
issued by secretary stanton in. time OF
war, in view of an imminent emergency,
and without full warrant of law, SO they
might have been returned without any
distinct warrant of law, and the proceeds
of such as were sold might properly be
considered rs belonging to the United
States and be credited to the government
against NtrmOnt's charges for defence Of
the frontier and other war expenses. If
on final accounting the balance should
he against us we should pay ii and if, as
we suppose to be the case something
would be found to be still due us, the
government should pay that. OF course
in such accounting due credit would be
given TO the State for the quota Of arms
actually accrued IN its favor, to Il lte and
henceforth the state of Vermont would
be entitled to its share of any future dis
tribution of arms for the use of the militia
of the several states
While no legal point could be made
upon II, IT might possibly make a reason
why the general government should not
rigidly press merely technical claims
against the State Of Vermont in this
matter of arms, that the Vermont troops
captured vastly many more arms from
the enemy than they ever surrendered to
the enemy, in the last war. As regards
small arms, it would be very difficult TO
make any approach to an exact account
OF debt and credit, III this regard but

different set of men from those who have

to coniine the choice of them to the pres

the fishermen who testified before the
committee were united in this opinion.
The treaty of 1878 enables American
fishermen to enter Canadian ports
and obtain shelter, wood water
and repairs. This is practically all
they need, though it would be some
object to them to be allowed to ship and
discharge crews in Canada, and occasion
ally to purchase supplies there. The com
mittee is of the opinion that the privil-
eyes which our fishermen heretofore pos

over valued by the Canadians and that
the establishment of reciprocity be

Within the next ten days Il majority of
the members Of the next national House
of Representatives are to be chosen.
There is hardly Il possibility that the re
puDlicHnS can secure control of this
body. The present democratic majority
is 40. For the republicans to control the
next House 1t will be necessary for them
to carry % more districts than at present
and retain every district they now hold.
There are some good reasons, however, FOR
hoping for "A decided reduction of the
democratic majority. Many of the dis
trictS at present democratic are doubt
full, according to their own confession.
The Incompetence of the democratic MD
iority in the present House has Disguised
many Of the democratic party, while the
failure of the democratic party tofulfill its
promises and the irregular way in which
the administration has distributed its
patronage, have made foes of many of its
hitherto faithful adherents. The gains in
the next House are likely to be for the
most part on the republican side, and
will it is to be hoped, be numerous enough
to afford encouragement for full restor-
alton of republican asCendency in SO.

The Chicago Tribunc relates an instruc-
tive instance showing of how little ac-
count Il veteran Union soldier is with the
democratic powers that be- by the side Of
democratic "worker." The soldier who
trained the first gun upon the rebel as
saiants of Fort Sumter was Captain
Sheibner. He had enlisted in the mill
tary service of the United States in 1880 !;
during the civil war he was promoted for
bravery on the field, and in 1869 he re
ceived an honorable discharge in cOnse-
quence of the enforced reduction in the
army. After a time he secured a humble
post III the government building at Chi
cago and was soon promoted to clerkship.
He is temperate, honest intelligent, indus
trious and faithful, and, although he was
appointed before the enactment of the
civil service law, he voluntarily took the
examinations and passed with high per
centage. The other day this Old soldier
was called up for dismissal. He was told
by Collector Seeburger that there were
no charges against him that his standing
was that of competent officer, and that
if it were a matter of private business he
should not be discharged, but that party
pressure" was great and "the place was
wanted for democrat" Accordingly
the old soldier goes out, and the democrat
comes in. If might makes right, then this
is all right.
