A scaTnrsG nEBuKE.

In the result OF the late election IN this
state there Is nothing more comforting 70
all lovers Of decency than the singing re-
buks that has been administered 10 the
practice OF defamation. aspersiou and black
gnardism in the conduct OF a political cam
psign-
In the late contest for political sapreIn-
acy In Washington this was the chief stock
in trade Of the Democrats. They seemed
10 think that ali they had 70 90 was to
aspersc and villify their political opponents,
and victory would surely DC theirs.
The keynote of this style o. campaigning
was sounded in their state convention
and incorporated into their platform. A
large portion OF that platform Was devoted
20 a criticism Of delegates 10 the Repgbli-
Fan convention. and OF candidates nomi-
mated by that convention because Of their
previous employment, at one time or
another, a. officials Of the federal govern
msut, as though that were disparaging.
rather thar evidence Of good political and
social standing. Against Others base in
situations of corporation control. and of
corrupt motives in aspiring to official 20
sitions, we're freely made. In a word the
platform was largely made up of this kind
of cheap farrago.
With eager alaority this note sounded by
the convention was echoed by Tray,
Blanche and Sweetheart, by every speaker
and every journal Of that party. with addi
tionS. cancellations and adornmcnts ad
nauseam. Gentlemen who always have
been held in highest estimation by their
neighbors and the public, were made sub
jects OF the vilest vituperation. A stranger
giving heed to Democrats assertions would
have supposed that the Republican ticket
was made up ot thieves, pickpockets and
midnight marauders, or that they who
were not themselves guilty of some felony
or misdemeanor were at least the associ-
ates and allies of the criminal class.
On the other side was not word uttered
or published BY any high Republican
authority. from the beginning OF the cam
paign TO It's close, which could be distorted
into an aspersion of the honor or good
name Of any Democratic candidate: not a
word which might not now lie uttered or
read in the presence of any such candidate,
and in his family circle. without embarrass-
ment.
As 10 these two styles of making a cam
paign the people OF Washington have re-
sponded in tones that cannot he misoon-
straed. IL The Democratic party is not
indeed and incurably bourhonixed; il in
deed IL Is not utterly incapable of learning
or forgetting anything, surely it will hence
forth apply the lesson that utilization and
abuse OF political opponents is not the way
10 secure support or respect from the peo-
pie of this state.
A party that can lay no better claim TO
public support than is 90 he found in its
capacity for hIaekguardsm. need never
hope 90 control the destinies of the state OF
Washington. So said the people last Tues
day in thunder tones. And the state vii
not lie ruled by thieves or rascals.

Unaer the new system the passenger has

During the first week in August the travel

increased. fully three times IS much IS be-
fore The railway companies not under
government control have adopted the zone
system, which bids fair to be extended into
Austria and elsewhere.
There are good many railways in our
immense system which are not paying in

By the zone system, which may be conn
pared with the zones Of the standard time
system. and there are not few paying
trunk lines which would have more crowded

put down TO the Hungarian basis. In
this country the classification of railway
travellers Is not Is pronounced ~ IN
European railway stems. bit . similar
equalization of rates could be effected
which wogld appreciahly reduce the COS. Of
the long-iistance travel for people of mod
crate means. The Hungarian experiment
seems TO have been successful At once, but
as il only went into operation on the first
OF August. il is perhaps too soon TO draw
definite conclusions. The system is worth
examining by American railway experts.
The railways OF this country pay but =
small return upon capital invested. During
the last ten years they have fallen upon
hard lines. In 1856 about OF per cent. of
the Mississippi valley roads paid 70 divi-
dends. and the average dividends of the
roads last year was only LIZ per cent The
fact thar the government roads in Hun
gary which did not pay as well as this
have, under the zone system, experienced
speedy relief, and that the roads not under
government control have also adopted the
scheme, suggests that the scheme has
practical ard economic value.
