WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--The inter

Western railroad war with great inter-

New York indicate the belief that the
fight is being carried on by the stronger
companies for definite purpose. There
is suspicion that the Chicago, Bur-

of the trouble. Some of the leading
managers of the road arrived here
to-day, and they have been
busy comforting with representatives of
other roads. 1t is understood that the
st. Paul managers have instructed their
agents here to solicit no new business ut

is to protect their regular customers by
giving them the lowest rates, but not to

IN regard to the numerous Pension
bills which have been introduced In
Congress the Philadelphia Record says ::
The numerous bills introduced in Con-
gress sor the relief Of eI-soldiers unable
to earn livelihood, and for the relief
OF the INDECENT parents OF deceased
soldiers, indicate the existence of wide
spread distress. In all these bills it is
sought to provide for relief through the
pension. Why assume that such would
be the proper method OF allevistion
There could be put into practice a much
more effective and substantial method
Of exercising the bounty OF the Govern
ment toward the ex.soldiers and the in
digent parents OF deceased soldiers
whose cases might not have been covered
by the liberal system Of pension laws.
1t would be necessary only to increase
the number OF Soldiers Homes and to
modify the laws in regard to them so as
to generously provide for every honora.
bly, discharged veteran who might need
Government aid, and whom existing
laws exclude from the pension list. The
meagre pension proposed In the bills
under notice would not save many OF
the proposed pensioners from becoming
objects OF private charity. In Soldiers
Homes they would be amply and gener-
ously provided for without having to
undergo the humiliation OF dependence
upon individual bounty. By this
method Of taking care of INDECENT veter-
ans and the dependent parents OF de-
ceased soldiers the pension sharks in
Washington and the demagogues who
practice upon the ssldier vote would be
baked IN their respective games. Then
the pension lists would remain what
they were designed to be-nameI,, cor.
tiicates OF wounds received in battle
and disease contracted in the ssrYlc.
and in ths line Of duty.

Senator Chandler's Good Work.

Senator Chandler, OF New Hamp
shire, is doing a great and good work
in the Senate, and we hope that the
Senators will give him the widest Iati-
tude to inform the body what he knows
about naval contracts and Southern
elections.
Senator Chandler has just offered two
important resolutions in the Senate
One relates TO the Navy Department,
and calls for official information as TO
the cost OF plans, designs, drawings,
specifications, ETC., of ships or engines,
received from foreign countries also
for changes made in original plans of
several vessels designed and contracted
for by Mr.. Chandler when Secretary and
also for contracts made for naval vessels
since March 4, 1885.
There is no man in the country who
knows more about crookedness in naval
contracts than Senator Chandler, as
most of the widespread crookedness and
appalling waste which obtained under
previous administrations were Planned
and carried out by Mr.. Chandler either
as outside manager under Robson or az
Secretary OF the Navy under Art bur.
He knows exactly what IS wrong IN both
present and past naval contracts, and he
Is just the man to hunt for it. Let the
Senate heartily aid him IN An exhaustive
inquiry into naval contracts, and 5ee
that Chandler doesn't weary OF the
hunt when he gets back OF 1885.
Another great and good work started
by Senator Chandler is bill he lately
introduced 10 regulate national cleo
tioDs. Wha. Senator Chandler doesn't
know about regulating Southern cleo
tions isn'n worth knowing, and he may
be accepted as standard authority on
the subject. a man who conceived,
organized and executed the theft OF the
Electoral votes OF two States in 1876,
AMI put man into the Presidency who
was defeated by quarter million ma
jority, must know exactly what the
South needs to regulate elections.
Circumstances have somewhat
changed since Senator Chandler perpe-
trated the most notorious fraud of cur
history in Louisiana and Florida. Then
Chandler had the Returning Boards in
the hands OF carpet baggers and adveu-
turers, but how it requires an election
TO elect in the South quite as much IS
does in the North. and Chandler isn't
happy over the idea Let Chandler
have chance. OF course, he will Be
expected to give some reasons in support
Of his bill to regulate national elections
and those reasons would be incomplete
without going back to 1876.
Senator Chandler has opened two
very instructive issuee for Congress and
the country IL Congress shall give him =
chance to exhibit Chandierism IN its
true light as Chamberlain would regu-
late naval contracts and national cleo
tions, as ChandleIism would present
the maximum of possible theft in both.

THE bloody shirt crusade waged by
the Republican leaders in the Senate
against the confirmation OF Mr.. Lamar
as Associate Justice OF the Suprens
Court or the United States, has not onIy
destroyed whatever hope the Republl-
cans had OF making headway at the
south az the next Presidential election.
but has also driven from its ranks rnany
prominent Republicans ia the North
who believe that the war ia over. One
instance OF this alienation is the publ
cation OF letter in the New York Post
by George f. Waring, of Rhode Island.
Col. Waring was one OF the founders
OF the Republican party and served in
the Union army throughout the war.
He says:
The final lurid light that makes the
sad fact clear Is The attitude of the partv
leaders toward the sondrmation OF MI.
Lamar The nomination OF that hon
est, loyal, and patriotic gentleman
should have been accepted as another
seaI on The compact OF national brother
mood and unity. II has, in fact bean
made the pretext for ro-openiug a sec
tlonal strife which the victor should
nave been glad TO see forever closed az
the hnal, best result OF the struggle.
Republican senators who know Mr..
Lamar thoroughly, who know that he
accepts finally and cordially the great
results OF the war, who trust him even
as they trust few OF their own col
leagues, and who knew that his unani-
nous confirmation would heal many a
wound that has been kept open by politi-
cal Tancor-these senator's, disregarding
every consideration OF patriotism and
forgetting the stuff Of which the better
membership of :he.r party is made, have
elected TO follow the sinuous paths of
common party tactics. AS for me. i

lashed into line by talk OF the tariff, nor
by denunciatiou of the Democrats. II

heart in it.
