THE county commissioners remind us
very much of the man who locked his
barn after the horse was stolen. Now
that the county hospital has been found
in tumble-down condition the wise
men of the west have passed resolu-
tion directing the superintendent to
make a full and complete estimate as
far us he is able to do, of all work done
up to date; the kind Of work done and
material used; the percentage still back;
the amount of work, labor, material and
cost, it will take to complete the hos
pital in accordance with the plans and
specifications as required by the build
ers' contract with the county. When this
much-sought-for information is handed
in by the superintendent it will be
placed on file as usual with all the other
voluminous papers on county hospital
construction. And there it will rest
until judgment day.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.

The state board OF equalization Is ex-
pected during the present month to
make its annual assessment OF the rail-
roads and railroad property. The
method which has heretofore been pur-
sued in making these assessments is, to
say the least, decidedly perfunctory.
The board takes the returns furnished
by the railroad companies as to mileage
of main tracks and side-tracks, right-of-
way, depot grounds, rolling stock and
all other chattels. The roaGbed right
of-way and all improvements are
dumped, together with the rolling stock,
into mileage pro-rata estimate, and the
assessment is equallzed and certified to,
to the respective counties.
This way OF assessing and equalizing
property of an unknown quantity is very
much like buying pig in a poke. The
board has never so much as inspected
any of the stations, depots, bridges,
water tanks, machine shops or other
improvements. II has not the remotest
idea of the condition in which any of
the roads keep their locom olives, cars
and other rolling stock. They do not
know whether the side-tracks returned
extend over ten miles or hundred on
any of the roads, and what is worse, the
members of the board have never tried
TO acquire definite knowledge on this
subject. Their work as assessors and
equalizers is done mechanically as a
mere matter of form, and their conclu-
sions are arrived at chiefly by the asses
ment made by the preceding board.
Now we do not want the railroad COM
panies to pay any greater proportion of
taxes than is paid by any other class of
property owners. Nor do we want thom
to pay any less than their proper share
of the taxes. What the people of this
state have right to demand and insist
upon is that the state board shall view
the property of the railroads and ap-
praise it in the same manner that the
precinct assessor does the property OF
the farmer, the merchant or the la
borer.
1t is the duty OF the board to inspect
the railroad tracks and improvements,
so as to get an approximate idea of the
condition of each of the roads and
the relative value Of the right of way
and the improvements made thereon at
each station. This may be severe
task, but it should be undertaken at
least once every two years. The road
should furnish the board with proper
facilities for making the inspection, so
that when the board has listed the
property the assessments may be made
something more than a roaring farce.

OF Boston and New England merchants
generally demand that no unjust or un-
fair discrimination be exercised against
the Grand Trunk road, or any OF its
New England branches. The fact that
the Canadian railways by their compe-
tition have reduced transportation
charges, seems to the Advertiser not
only no good reason for their being dis
criminated against, but strong claim
for their support by the shippers OF that
section. 1t maintains that the Canadian
roads have benefited the United States
and that to destroy their competition on
the ground that they divert trade from
American lines would be an unwar-
ranted discrimination which would
operate greatly to the disadvantage of
the northeast and the northwest.
There is unquestionably d widespread
sympathy with this view among the
shippers OF the west and northwest, and
these will be found ready to strike hands
with the shippers Of New England
in opposing any radical measure
designed to entirely shut out
the Canadian competition. The expe-
diency of requiring that the foreign
corporations doing business within our
territory, as in the case OF the Grand
Trunk, shall conform to our laws, is not
questioned, but any step beyond this
intended to destroy all competition will
certainly meet the protest of a large
body of American shippers. The ques-
tion presents obvious difficulties that
will not be easily disposed of, and the
solution Of which can not fail to have
an important bearing upon the future
of the railroad interests of this country
subjected to the Canadian competition.

pending for the purchase by the Pacific Ex-
press company from the Commercial Ma

The deal was consummated Wednesday the
express company paying Si2, 500 for front.
age of 5S feet on Sixteenth street adjoining
the alley and 66 feet deep. Since the deal
was first talked of the Commercial National
bank has been offered $4,000 for the proper

1t is the intention of the purchasers Je

building, to be used exclusively for the Pacific
Express company. The building will b,
built with the bank wall on the south side
and will be of not less than five stories, OF

THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.

IL MILL W Il NhZiIL SEN iCh
On the first OF this month the civil
service rules were extended to the rail
way mail service. The order providing
for this-was issued near the close of the
administration of President Cleveland,
and after careful consideration Presi-
dent Harrison decided that it should be
enforced. Meantime there has been
great activity on the part of the super
intendent Of the railway mail service in
re-organizing it, chiefly by restoring
the more efficient and valuable officials
and clerks who were removed for poll
tical reasons by the last administration.
There is as yet no data showing how eX-
tensively this has been done, but the
impression is that very few OF the old
clerks who had good records have failed
to be reinstated, and undoubtedly the
service will be improved thereby. That
it had very materially deteriorated is
unquestionable. A very large number
of the men who had been appointed be-
cause they were democrats were not
qualified to meet the exacting ddties of
the service, and very likely many of
UuGIl COulu HCScE ldSC tUe
standard of efficiency that should
be required Apart from all political
considerations, therefore. it was the
duty of the department to get rid of
these men and replace them with the
experienced and capable clerks whom
they had succeeded.
In extending the civil service rules
a. nj
good results to be expected are n higher
class OF clerks to fill vacancies that
shall hereafter occur, and secure
tenure for those who are faithful. dill
gent and efficient Until now the SER
vice has supplied to the politicians
means of paying off in part their politi
cal debts, and when it is lid that the
service requires some five thousand en-
ployes, it has obviously been a material
assistance to the politicians in clearing
away thoir obligations. Hereafter it
will not be available for this purpose.
When clerks are wanted for the railway
mail service they will be furnished by
the civil service commission. 1t is u
departure which ex-Postmastcr-Gcner
James, aud others having practical ex-
perience in the administration
of postal atfairs have long urged
as absolutely necessary to per-
feet the railway mail service, which has
grown to be the most essential and inn
portant part of our postal system. 1t is
understood to be the purpose of the de-
partment to institute such changes and
reforms in the service as shall appear
from time to time to be desirable and
necessary to its Improvement, and il is
not doubted that these can be best ef-
fected with the service free from all
political interference, A perfectly Or
| ganized and thoroughly efficient rail-
| way mail service is consummation TO
be desired by the whole people, and
| especially by the business interests of
the country.

IT is to be regretted that anything
should have occurred in connection
with the centennial celebration in
New York to mar the dignity and de-
corum of that event, but the huniiliat-
ing fact is that the opening ball on
Monday night became most disgrace
full affair, of which the whole country,
and New York especially, has reason
to be ashamed. The regulations seem
to have been wholly inadequate to pre-
vent the invasion of the hall by persons
who had no business there, there was
no discipline of the walters and other
attendants, the police were incapable
of maintaining order, and the ball de-
Perforated into drunken orgie, which
was only brought to an end by summar-
lily driving the brutal element away
and shutting out the light. 1t was a
deplorable and disgraceful circum-
stance, which reflects most discredita-
BILE upon those whose business it was to
have provided against it.

N an address delivered before the

IN an address delivered before the
Harvard Finance club, Judge Cooley,
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion, for the first time to our knowl-
edge, has given his public expression
TO the dangers of passes on railroads.
He points out that the act to regulate
commerce undertook, so far as federal
law could do, to bring the abuses of the
pass system to an end. Ii would ap-
pear, however, that the act has only in
part accomplished the purpose. This
has been due chiefly to the fact that it
has not the cooperative support of rail
road managers nor has the evil been
sufficiently antagonized by public senti-
ment. The divided authority, state
and national, has afforded the oppor-
tunity for evasions and the opportunity
has been taken advantage OF by the
railroads. Judge Cooley compares the
pass system to the spoils system OF poll
tics, where its practice is both vicious
and corrupting. Like the wrong of the
spoils system, the wrong of free traus-
portation consists in the failure TO
recognize the fundamental principle in
all just government, that public func-
tions are public trusts. To his mind,
then, u public opinion that will correct
the wrong must clearly understand this
