THE Arrows WITHDRAWAL.

The ALUM - WI w Ill.
The "gentlemen's agreement" has
received another blow in the announce
ment by the Chicago g. ALTON company,
that IL will withdraw from the Inter
State Commerce Railway association a
month hence. IL is impossible TO say
how much of surprise this will be to
railway circles. The attitude OF the
Alton for some time has been threat
ening one, and it is not improbable that
what it has done has been expected.
In that event the immediate effoct may
not be serious, but it would seem that
the ultimate consequences to the
association must be. In leaV-
ing the association the purpose
OF the Alton of course is TO proceed after
the date of its withdrawal in absolute
independence OF all other roads and to
make IL fight against all competitors for
traffic which it is unable to get under
present circumstances. 1t IS unnoces-
sary to say that this foreshadows q rate
war which very soon after July ID may
assume large dimensions.
The communication of the Alton oltl-
cials announcing the decision to with
| draw from tho association throws tho
responsibility for the action upon the
| ST. Paul. Not more than week ago it
was decided by tho executive board OF
! the Interstate Commerce Railway asso-
I citation that the st Paul should give
the Alton u share Of it's 1.-Two stock traf-
fic, and this it agreed to do. 1t tappears,
| = ~. I. l., l..
| on the part OF tho st. Paul to comply
| with the decision Of the board, and the
| association having no power 90 enforce
| it, the Alton management accept the al
| tentative of making an independent
contest for the traffic. Not only is thero
made charge of bad faith against the
| st. Paul so far as the association is con-
cerned, but there is the graver charge,
ii possible, that the company has been
| making secret Inducements to shippers
to patronize its line, which may involve
| o. violation of the Interstate commerce
| law.
Perhaps the most significant sentence
in the communication OF the Alton
management is this: "rhe agreement
| mas Jleu JNe MINUS Oi blOSc '" uO CUiH'
piled with it's provisions, and has en-
abled others to obtain unfair advan-
tages over them" What other com
panies, if any, feel similarly aggrieved
with the Alton, will very likely soon be
disclosed, but in any event the dissolu-
tion of the experimental association
seems imminent. Meantime the Alton
company proposes to pursue its own
course under the law for securing its
fair share of traffic, and the results will
have great interest both for the rail.
roads and the public.
THE civil service commission is moth
ing if not ambitious, and its desire tt
bring the appointments of the censu:
bureau under its control is likely tt
meet with great opposition. Congress
sional patronage brokers will not give
up the appointment of census takers
without lively contest.

AN EARLY FIGHT.

The contest already entered upon by
the democracy over the question OF tho
next presidential candidate of the party
appears premature, yet it is being
carried on with good deal of vigor.
The melting cause is the well under
stood fact that the democrats of New
York have two candidates in eX-Presi-
dent Cleveland and Governor Hill, and
that the supporters of each are very
earnest and determined. Werc the
democracy of the Empire state unani-
nous for the ex-president there would
probably be little discussion of the mat
ter in the party generally, but
SUCH is not the case. Governor
Hill has very large and vigorous fol-
lowing in New York, and from all pres
ent indications it does not propose to
give him up with as little resistance as
was shown last year. His friends seem
determined to keep him in the field, at
whatever hazard to the peace and Sc
curity of the party, and this has aroused
his opponents to an early effort to drive
him out Of the field.
The most active and uncompromising
of these is the 81. Louis Republic. That
journal regards Governor Hill rs ut
terly unfit, mentally and morally, to be
the candidate of its party in the next
presidential contest, and it does not
hesitate to say so in the plainest possi-
BILE terms. BY way of vindicating its
judgment the Republic has been printing
democratic opinions on the question OF
the next candidate OF the party, among
| them those of editors In the south and
| southwest. These show an almost unan
imous opposition to the New York gov
ernor. Very generally these editors
express the belief that his nomination
| for the presidency would be Il grave
| mistake, some of them declaring that
| it would involve the inevitable defeat
of the party. The RepuJlic appears
to have pretty clearly established
| the fact that Governor Hill
has at this time extremely little
support outside his own state.
| and perhaps two or three in New Eng
land, but will his friends care anything
| about this demonstration? viii they
lose any of their courage or determine
tion in hissupport because of this knowl-
| edge? Probably not.
There is II point in the opinions
elected by the st. Louis journal that
may provo somewhat disconcerting to
| the friends OF Mr.. Cleveland. That is
the widely extended view that the
democratic party should seek its next
candidate in the west The quite gem
eral sentiment among the democratic
editors OF the south ana south
west is that the party ought not to
make the next campaign hinge
on three or four northern states, and
that the west and tho south should CO.
operate regardless OF the wishes Of the
east. II is evident that the desire to
break the solid republican west is up-
permost in the minds of many repre-
sentative democrats, and the feeling is
likely TO realize considerable growth
within the next three years.

But Mr.. Oberly will retire from the posi-
tion at the close of the present month,
aud will be succeeded by Colonel
T. j. MORGAN, who was member OF the
regiment commanded by President Har-
rison.
Mr.. Oberly was appointed commits
sioner OF Indian affairs about n year
ago, and doubtless in many respects he
has been tho means OF gooI to the SER
vice, but ho has been charged with sub
verting its needs to the good OF the
party. Unqucstionably he gave m ore
attention to the duties OF tho position
than did his predecessor, and had also n
moro Intelligent idoa of the Indian
question, but he is very strong plrti-
sau, and it is by no means Incredible
that he made the position TO soma cx-
tent subscrviont TO the interests
of his party. But whatever may
be tho fact rs to this, tho assump-
tion that Mr.. Obcrly WIS Indispensable
to the service, or that republican of
equal ability and fitness could not be
found to fill tho position, was ono which
tho president could not accept, and
after carefully seeking the right man
| he appeared TO have found him in Col
| onel Morgan.
| the new commissioner OF Indian af-
| fairs has long boon engaged in educa-
| tional work, and has also been idcnti-
fled with the labor of bcttering the con-
| dition Of the Indians. For q number OF
years his services have been enlisted in
| practical reform mo vcments. and he is
| credited with great deal of useful
work in this direction. The Boston
| advertiser says OF him that he is
we'll fitted BIZ character for tho
post 10 which he has been ap-
pointed. His experience has given
him definite and concise knowledge
OF the real needs aud crying evils of the
| service, and he can be trusted to deal
with them wisely and effectively. Those
most familiar with his character AMI
| qualifications heartily commend his APP
| pointment.
The time is not remote, there is rea-
son to believe, when the Indian problem
will present comparatively few difficult
ties. The judicious processes now being
put into effect must, if adhered to, brng 2
the Indians to condition where they
can be largely left to take care of them
selves, and before another genera

plished, and the duties yet to be per.
formed are as delicate and difficult as
