weighty responsibility. and has studied current
history and analysed his own mind in reference
to it. Tho combination of circunl-
stances by which Mr.. Blaine was defeated was
one that could ardly have been repeated. and
his friends have felt that it would be q glorious
privilege to fight that battle over: and SO high
and confident has been the combative spirit.
that there is no doubt that if not restrained by
Mr.. Blaine himself, it would have insisted upon
his nomination and carried it.
But the faultess intelligence of Mr.. Blaine
has seen that he could not 60 into the field
again without confronting a personal opposition,
reinforced by all the timorous elements in the
party and envenomed by all the ancient animos-
tiles; and he has concluded to disregard the
postulations of his friends and step aside, trust
ing the party may find for leader one who. if not
ADLER and more faithful than he. has not deyel-
oped so many elements OF personal opposition.
We knew from Mr. Blane'S own lips, long
ago, that he desired to do this, and was infiu-
enced TO continue the attitude Of elaboration
because he felt the greatest solictude in life 10

identified their political fortunes with his aud
whose labors ard sacrifices for him he held in

how happily he has smoothed away the difficulty

Those who have known most OF Mr.. Baine's
personal feelings and desires in association witt
the great Office OF the presidency will consent
most readily TO the theory that his action in
Withdrawing his name has been, TO some
tent governed by the recollection of the fact
that he did desire the nomination in 1884.
and then believed he could not be elected. but
could not at the last moment decline the nomina-
ton.
He not only in 1854 thought his friends in
error in pressing his nomination and preferred
they should not do SO. but he named a ticket he
would be q winner He could not
evade the struggle, however, and no man ever
made a more brilliant campaign or merited mora
richly than he the reward of success. He was
led before the close of the combat to believe in
the possibility of success, but his original iudg-

Those Bad Railroaders.

Judge Cooley and the inter-sta com.
mssion seem to have been astonished by
the demoraliz stion they discovered among
the Western railroad agents, who have
been disobeying tho plain command of the
Interstate law; and have been selling
their tickets through scalpers to whom
they gave big discount on their prices,
which enabled them to sell them to the
public At . discount; practically there.
fore the railroad rate was what 1t got
from the "scalpsr " for Its tickets, plus
the profit the scalper charg d the traveller;
and the published railroad rates were not
at all its real charges. Judge Cooley
seems to have thought that rail-
road men could not be go wicked,
Notwithstanding his large experience of
them but there is no depth of dishonesty
which may not be safely charged upon
railroad management. There isnc flavor
OF honesty about the business. The men
at the head habitually use their power
Tor their own enrichment, In some
shape or other; and their subor-
dinates all the way down follow
suit, according to their opportunity.
Naturally the people, who are in the
power OF these men, are made their
victims. Naturally every dollar that can
b seen is pursued; and though there be
no dollar seen, the hounds are ardent
upon faint scent. They loyk for busi.
ness by hook or by crook and are careless
- to whether 1t pays to get it in their
ardor to have 1t. They become brutes al
over.

New York dry goods dealer has been
explaining TO = reporter the advantages OF
the credit system to both buyer and seller
il kept under proper control. "For the cash
customers We take no risks and grant no
isvors. For the credit customers we do
almost any aud everything they ask OF us.

fort TO swell their number" This will be
quite startling to many readers, but 1t N st

to is not the long time credit that 30 sncum

where purchases are sent, and whenever

Other houses, like ours, dislike to force that
trade, and simply wal. until such lady
asks iaVer OF days or . weeks accom-.
moda'ion to pay for . heavy purchase, or
else comes and asks In plain terms to be
allowed to run bill here. Then, though
she does not know how eager we are, we
jump TO accommodate her."
Tnen he proceeds to give Q very plain aud
sensible reason for this esgerness to sell on
credit "a lady who has bill ut our store
spends ali the way from 80 per cent to 500
per cent. more than II she hadn't No,

only yesterday that q gentle told u q

That (annl.

We find it necessary to amend our
comments onFerdinand De- Lssseps made
yesterday for the reason that that old
gentleman has turned his tears Of Joy into
tears Of sorrow. Through . mistake,
that reminds us sadly Of the bluuder
of press bureaus and party commit
tees on election night, he was given
to understand that a bowling mob Of
patriotic Trenchmen had besieged the
offices Of the canal company throughout
France, and subscribed for bonds OF
doubtful value In q way that would set
his company solidly on its financial feet.
Yesterday we were treated to the touch.

tion is safe the canal Is made!" To-day
the cable tells US that when the anxious
crowd of shareholders called for the
veteran they were answered by his son
My father Ii younger In spirit than L
His remarks were made on the strength
OF q hopeful report that made him. The
result is bankruptcy or the winding uI

1t seems that instead OF $40, 900 bonds
as reported yesterday, only lso, 900 have
been taken. II this sudden turn Of for
tune does not kill De Lessep

in France, common sense prevails a

pletion Of the canal, but must hav
