Sherman In Atlanta.

In o recent interview Gen. Sherman was
asked II he destroyed Atlanta. He replied
witty with viR9rops @ en- emphasis that the charge was
the city, but he had merely destroyed the rail-
road depot About two blocks OF buildings,
some exploding Confederate shells buried In
CLOSE proximity.
This 10 the way the General puts it, although
now living are able to contradict him from their
own personal knowledge.
When the Confederates reoccupied the city
they found the place destroyed from Brother
toms corner to the First Methodist Church. and
Nothing was left but rim OF about five hun
dred dwellings, and about half dozen stores.
The Kimball House was not burned. for the
that time.

A Year Ago To-day.

A year ago to-day the cutting Of rates by
the railroads was begun, and the war was
entered upon OF which we have so often
pointed out the causes and the effects. To-
day the managers OF the railroads are re-
storing rates, and are proceeding to do 30
with the same energy and thoroughness
that they have manifested for O twelve
month in breaking them down.
These gentlemen cannot review the events
Of the past twelve months with any sense Of
lawful pride or qualification. A year ago to-
day they began the systematic ruin Of the
business intrusted to their charge; to-day
they have begun to repair damages.
Is there any stockholder in any Of the
great properties with which such havoc has
been wrought during the year. who can
point out to us single particular In which
the railroad issue Of to-day differs from the
railroad issue Of this day twelve months
ago2 Wherein is there q single question
to be determined now, that in any
degree differs from the questions which q
year ago to-day were presented for solu-
tionr There is no sophistry, no hair-split-
ting, no special pleading. no patent process
of evasion, whereby Mr.. PERKINS, Mr..
CABLE Mr.. ToUzAIM, Mr.. STRONG, Mr..
NuLKR, or any other members OF the band
Of gifted railroad wreckers can prove
to any stockholder or to any fair
minded business man that there was
one particle Of justification. excuse, or
palliaton for the course that they have pur-
sued this year. The situation, we repeat, is
identical to-day with the situation Of last
December. There Is still as much excuse for
xhaoa mar, IN onptinna tho pro oh
have lost to their stockholders In q
twelvemonth Of recklessness over $4O.-
100000 which should have been law
fully earned during the current year,
the practices which have wrought distrac-
ton in business, instability in values, de-
stroyed public confidence. and brought an
honorable calling into disgrace and disre-
pute. In all of Mr.. JAY GoULD's career we
do not know anything more reprehensible
than the conduct Of majority Of the trus-
tees of our Western railroads.
It Is an edlfying spectacle which presents
itself at the end Of this year OF 1888 for their
contemplation; millions upon millions
wasted without reasDn or excuse. a monu-
mental record Of dishonesty and crimi-
nal stupidity and recklessness! There
Is o remedy for all this evil, and
we, have pointed it out. 1t Is q
heroic remedy and painful one. 1t is to
put honest men, as well as capable men. in
charge Of the interests Of our great corpora
lions. We repeat again the warning which
We have heretofore given; the stockholders
must themselves apply the remedy. and they
must not be deluded into any false sense Of
security because the men who admins
ter their properties have desisted from
their wrongful practices. They are still In
office. they are still as potent as before to re-
peat their misdeeds, and they can far better
be relied upon by the record of their own
acts to do that which is wrong than to do
that which is right.
Put them out, and let there be reform
Throughout all American railroading, that
honest principles and decent practices may
once more prevail

Among the furious protests against the
appointment Of Mr.. LEON o. BAILEY to succeed
District Attorney SELLERS In the Indiana PROS
ecution OF the DUDLEY case the Albany Jour
nal becomes funny. 1t says:
~" President CLEvHLANp had intended directly to insult
Con HARRISON he could not have accomplished his puf-
pose better than he has by tho nomination of Mr. LION
o. BAILEY United States District Attorney for the
District Of Indiana the home Of Gen. HARRISON"
1t can be said boldly without appeal that Mr..
CLEVELAND had no intention Of insulting Gen.
HARRISON. He appointed Mr. BAILEY doubt
less because he was the assistant Of the officer
who had resigned. and naturally q proper
person to carry on his tasks.
Nothing is more solemnly comic than the
imaginary perception. in the acts OF public men
and journals, Of overpowering motives which
do not even 30 much as exist at all.

light Of voting they could not restrain them-

Bcoffers at woman suffrage will take comfort
from the Boston incident. but on the whole it
seems TO show that women at the polls are
more than the EQUALS OF men. 1t Is difficult for
O man TO cast a fraudulent vote without soon
getting into room locked ON the outside. but
the accomplished women OF Boston have cast

Some Friendly Words with MIR. Cox

The Hon. SAMUEL SULLIVAN Cox owes it
to his party and to himself to move In the
House Of Representatives for the repeal Of
the Civil Service act of January 1888. The
reasons, plainly stated, will commend them
selves to Mr.. Cox's good sense.
It was Mr.. Cox who fastened the so-called
civil service reform policy, with its sequel Of
ridiculous annoyance and serious disaster,
upon the Democratic party In the House.
This colossal mistake was simply due to a
failure on his part to perceive the importance
Of the bill He was inclined to treat the
matter as a joke and to help the bill through.
partly in irony, partly to clear the way for
what he regarded as more important legisla-
ton. He ought to undo his work.
The PENDLEToN bill, as DoRMAN B.
EAToNs masterpiece was known, reached
tho House in December. 1882. Mr.. KAssoN
Republican had charge Of the bill. There
had been q good deal Of banter In the lob
bies and restaurant between Republicans
and Democratic members Of the House, and
the Republicans had dared the Democrats
to come out squarely in support Of the meas
ure. Mr.. Cox was interested Just then in q
bill for the relief Of American shipping. and
he wanted to get the civil service nonsense
out OF the way. He accepted the Republican
challenge In q spirit of mirthful bravado
and. chuckling inwardly moved on Jan. 4,
1883, for the passage OF the PENDLEToN bill

By the death OF EDWARD Q. PERRIN, who
has besn Clerk OF the Court OF Appeals since
its reorganization In 1870. the State has lost
one Of its most competent and faithful public
servants.
Mr.. PERRIN was q sterling Democrat, and
was widely and favorably known among the
leading men OF the party In all portions OF the
country. He was prominent figure at all the
Democratic National Conventions from 1856 to
1872 inclusive. and took an active part In poll
tics always His party preferences. however, In
no wise intsrfered with his usefulness as
public officer and as Clerk Of the Court Of Ap-
peals he treated all lawyers. litigants. and
other persons who had business In that tribu-
nal with uniform attention and courtesy. As
tho cases which 20 to the Court OF Appeals
come from all parts OF the State. Mr..
PERRIN thus gained acauaintancss and
friends among members OF the bar in
every county who oan testify to the effective
and satisfactory manner in which his work was
done. He was one Of those men who was not
satisfied simply to fulfil his duties according to
the strict requirements OF tho law, but he went
further and fulfilled them with kindly in
terest In the affairs OF those whom he served.
which is unfortunately too rare among public
officers.
When Mr.. PERRIN assumed office in 1870.
SANFORD z. CHURCH was Chief Judge Of tho
Court Of Appeals. and the Associate Judges
were WILLIAM F. ALLEN. RuFus W. PEcKHAM.
MARTIN GROVER. CHARLES ]. FoLaER, CHARLES
A. RAPALLo. and CHARLES ANDREWS. Ofthese
seven members of the Court, Judge ANDREws
Is to-day the only survivor. and he must feel
the death OF Mr.. PERRIN most keenly.
1t will be difficult indeed for the Court OF Ap-
peals to find as good clerk as he was. 1t will
be impossible to find better.
