Quay For President.

a Harrisburg dispatch 10 the Pitts
burg Times says: The slaughter of
Chief Clerks Losch and Cochran. of The
House and Senate, is now an assured
fact, and is but the beginning of q fac
tlonal scheme that will only end when
the nomination for Governor is made in
1890. Although Governors are not
made two years in advance, it is none
too early 70 select the material from
which to make one when the time
comes, ard that is what is jus. now be
ing done here in Harrisburg, although
1t will be done as quietly as possible un-

The New Year i'm Europe.

Notwithstanding the optimistic gen.
eraltIes in which foreign statesmen have
recently indulged. continued peace in
Europs Is by no means assured. The
troubled condition of the French Re-
public, the occupancy of the German
throu5 by a domineering Prince. the
steady eEcroachmelts ofR ussla IN Cen
trail Asia. the frequent recnrrence OF
the Balkan question, and the half
veiled contempt with which Italy looks
upon France, all cODsplre TO make US
wonder how much longer the waiting
game can be played.
Nor need anyone be Darticui irly
elated over the crusade that Is being
made by Germany and Great Britain,
ostebsibly IN the interests OF humanity.

marck's anti slavery scheme Was selfish
in its Inception, and we doubt not will
have a selfish end. Difficulties are like

long aud the strained relations be-
tween Germany and England may soon
break out in q quarrel over the course
TO be pursued in Zanzibar.
In a recent thoughJfully written arti-
Gle on the European situation Frederick
Greenwood traces the ill-feellng be-
tween those two Powers to the luke
warmness of England a few years ago
when it was sought to bring her into
close fighting alliance with Germany,
Austria and Italy. England argued
that the proposed alliance should tend
TO prevent war in the East as we'll as in
the West, in which event Russia. baffled
in Southeastern Europe, would EoI be
permitted to attack India. The coali-
tion, of course, was never formed.
Germany looked upon EuglaDd's atti-
tude as one of mingled seifishness and
stupidity, and The disappointment and
irritation which it caused were natur
ally intensified when General Boulan>
ger appeared 10 France as a distinct
parsonage and as a menace 10 peace.
In France the spirit of Boaiangism

"a Bonapar.e. but he has been hailed as

character appears upon the scene, not
far off will be found one or two men of

Emperor feels the truth of this is evil

The GoYernOr's Message.

The message sent to the two Houses
OF the Legislature by Governor Beaver
IS clear and business like statement of
the condition OF the State government
and the needs and requirements of the
people OF TIE common wealth as thew
present themselves TO his view. As the
governor Says, the message makes no
attempt To enforce the suggestions il
contains by argument.
Iue recommendation that personal
property now exempt from taxation be
maue 10 bear Its share of the burden of
government and that the rate of tsxa-
tion be equalizsd throughout the State
is correct in principle. II must. how
ever, be borne in mind that no matter
In what form or upon what spscies of
property taxes are laid they ALWAYS in
the END fall upon labor. No revenue
can ee collected excep. from the gener
al wealth, and as labor creates ALI
wealth II follows that labor paws all
taxes whether they be laid upon real OF
personal property or upon the person OF
the taxpayer. The only true principle
or taxation is that which requires every
CITIZEN to contribute To the public reve-
nue. according TO his share of the gener.
al wealth, and the best system of gov.

requires the smallest amount OF

There is shade of disappointment
In the governors remarks on the un.
Willingness OF certain holders of State
bonds to permit their redemption at a
considerable premium. His desire To
pay on the entire State debt is com.
mendabie. but it is hardly good policy
TO anticipate the payment of that cart
or the debt not yet due, at a heavy cost
to the taxpayers.
On the whole the message will com
mend itself TO the consideration OF
thoughtful men OF all parties. The

The Attorney General OF Pennsyl-
vania has begun proceedings against the
Western Union and Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Companies for an alleged
violation Of the State laws. The con.
stitution Of Pennsylvania says that s'no
telegraph company shall consolidate
with or hold a controlling interest in
the stocks OF bonds OF any other teIe-
graph company on ming a competing line
or acquire by purchase or otherwise any
other competing line OF telegraph. -
On October 9Th, 1887. the Western Un-
lon purchased the entire capital stock
OF the Baltimore aud OHIO Telegraph
Company for .he sum OF S. 600 600 and
consolidated the two lines. The writ of
quo 1odTdnt0 IS made returnable on the
- OF the present month and will De
heard by the Danphln county court on
that day. The Attorney General claims
that the Baltimore and Ohio Company
was a competing line In this State with
the Western Union. and that lis stock
line and franchises were by reason of
the sale, forfeited to the State. For the
same reason decree of forfeiture and

IT Is not WITHOUT reason says the
Philadelphia Record that the negro
voters Of American claim that they
should have ample recognition under
the incoming Administration. They
show from election statistics that not
only in New York and Indiana but in
nearly every other Northern STATE the
Republicans would be in a minority if
they should break their alliance with
that party. Taking the entire election
returns of the country, they show furth-
er that!f their strength should be elm
mated the Democrats would have not
TAR from million majority in th4 total
vote. That is to say, the Democrats
have nearly million majority OF the
white voters Of the country, but by
throwing their weight into the scale the
eolored voters have brought the Rspub-
heans up TO within 100, 900 less than q
N jority of the entire popular vote.
Upon this ground they demand a
seat in the Harrison Cabinet, and they
have pitched on ex-senator Blanche X .
Bruce as the man. With representa-
tive OF their race in the Administration
they would receive in the shape of ap.
pointments the fair share OF recognition

ACCORDING 20 the Raii,rdy Age, the
number of miles of track laid during
the year lSSS, excl usive OF sidings, sup
Elemental tracks and old track Ielaid,
is 7.l20, against Is 600 IN 1857, which
was he largest annual mileage con-
s,Iuction in the history of the country.
The Engineering NetcS, more conserva-
tive and probably more correct, puts the
railway construction of the year at
430 miles. The diif sreGce is explained
by the fact that the smaller estimate
only includes lines doing business as
common carriers, and excludes lumber
and logging roads which carry freight
only. Ia Canada the number of miles
of new road during the year is pu. at
$50 and in Mexico AT 49J miles, the lat
ter being extensions Of American sys-
TENS, the Central and National.
It was the general expectation at the
beginning of the year that the cOnstruc-
tion ia 1883 would be comparatively
little, partly because it WAS supposed
that the enormous extension of 1887 had
anticipated the needs o: tEH country for
some time to come. But as the Age
points out, the tracklaying of 1855 has
been exceeded only five times in the his
tory of the country, and is bu; little
below the average for the preceding 10
years.
, \ noticeable difference between the
. - 4 \
preceding years, is that very few of the
former are important as competitive
lines, while in 1856 and 1887 the grea,
feature of the work was the construc-
Jiou OF lines 20 compete for the traffic
between Chicago and the two ceuters OF
X ,nsas City and S,. Paul.
Kansas still stands at the head OF the
list OF States with 523 niles. and is fol.
lowed hy California with 465, Georgia
with 4l9. Kentucky with 35l, Washing.
ton Territory with 309. Alabama with
30i aud Minnesota with 2S3. New
York only buils 90 miles and Psnnsyl-
vauia SIS. while the six South Atlantic
States built los miles. Taken as a
whole, the South has shown more ac-
tivity compared with the North than
ever before.
As to ths construction during the
coming year, the Engineering Netrs
states there is great mileage under
Way ss Tar as promoters and engineers
can carry it, and there is great amount
OF capital seeking Investment in auy
property in which it can be sure OF
steady returns of OF per cent. The
unknown quantity is the condi-
uoGs which may prevail in the legisla-
iuTrs and courts and among the rate
makers upon exi ting roads. Ii these
conditions are satisfactorily met the
coming year may see as much and more
construction IS that recorded for 1888.
