INFLUENCE AGAINST CANALS.

INFLUENCE AGAINST CANALS.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
A very striking example of the influ-
ences which have led to the abandon
ment of canal transportation for heavy
freight was furnished last week in con-
nection with the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. A committee from Williams
port. Md, visited the managers of the
canal, urging the repair and reopening
of an abandoned section of the canal
between Williamsport and Cumberland.
The managers, however, were of opin-
ion that this could not be done, as it
would cost $4,000, which could only be
raised by the sale of bonds that have de-
preciated to 10 cents on the dollar.
To this the committee responded by of
fering to make the repairs for $25,000
and to look to future receipts for reim-
bursement, if allowed to operate it them
selves. But this was also refused On
the ground that the company had no
power to turn over the canal to outside
parties.
The true motive back of these ex-
cuses is well known. Powerful railroad
influences are interested in the aban-
donment of the canal, and their opposi-
tion to its restoration is what convinces
the managers of the the canal that their
duty to the company requires them to
let the canal go to ruin rather than ac-
cept outside aid in repairing it. The
same influences were powerful in secur-
ing the abandonment of the Western
Pennsylvania canals; and will be active
in opposing the Ohio and Lake Erie ca
nal project.
But should not the activity of railroad
influences in opposition to the canals be
a very strong argument to show the
public interest in the revival and i'm
prOvement of canals for heavy freights?

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The legion of Ohio friends of Mr.. Hal

which is so cOngenial to him, and which
he has so long hOnOred. He comes back
to his old associates with hand that has
lost none of its cunning. There are few
men In this country who have quicker to
recognize the rights of the newspaper fra
ternity than Mr. Halstead, few men who
have labored and contributed more to Sc
cure those rights. However much men,
and especially newspaper men, may differ
with him politically, they are all of one
accord when it comes to paying tribute
to his abilities, to his perpendicular ideas
on what he believes to be right, and more
than all else to his courage not only to
express his ideas, but even to the last ditch
to defend them. Editor Halstead never

on foe. Friends and political foes all

thrice and four times welcome.

BREAKERS AHEAD IN VIRGINIA.

BREAhERS AHEAD IN NlRGIN1A.
From the Lynchburg Virginan CDem.)
There are breakers in the course of the
Democratic party in Virginia and, unless
they are skillfully and sensibly avoided, as
they can be and should be, they may wreck
the organization and destroy its chances
of success. The Richmond State points
out one of them very distinctly. This is the
proposal of certain high tariff Demo
Gratis to frame the tariff plank of the party
platform in accordance with their ideas
ON that subject
We do not see a crying necessity for
any tariff plank at all in State campaign,
but if we must have one, let s have one
upon which all Democrats can stand with
out iOstling, elbowing or fighting The
platform of 1884 fills the bill As the State
says, it was compromise, and for that
very reason cOmmendS itself to both sides.
The State debt is another breaker ="
that lifts its head threateningly. 1t has
stood Malone in good stead in the way
of political capital in the past, and we
infer from his speech at Petersburg the
other day that he proposes to use it again
as an issue" for that purpose, for all it
is worth.
The Democratic party of Virginia, hav-
ing been forced into a reluctant accept
ance of Mahone's policy of settlement,
and having repeatedly pledged itself to
carry out the same in good faith is bound
and resolved to fight it out on that line if
it takes the next quarter of century,
1t can not Justly or consistently do other
wise, and, besides, in that way lies har-
mony and victory.

ANIMPROBABLE CORNER.

II Illt IlSldIcu.
There is ground for regarding the story
that the Sugar Trust has been storing i'm
mense quantities of refined sugar with a
view to cornering the market with good
deal of suspicion. That there is a large
accumulation of sugar is quite possible
1t is hardly to be cOntended, either, that
the limits of the Trusts rapacity have
been reached by the large profits which it
has already secured. But that it intends
to squeeze the market any more is unlike
ly, simply because its ability to do so is
more limited than its desires.
The accumulation of refined sugar is
an evidence that, even with the restraints
put upon production by the Trust, it has
largely exceeded production. In other
words, the economic law that as the price
advances consumption decreases. is show
ing its effect. To futher raise the price
would only have the effect of further de
creasing the demand. If the Trust should
make another advance in prices it would
only increase the burden of its surr,,us
stock and deprive itself of the already ex-
cessive profits which it makes ON sales at
present prices. While greed frequently
| overreaches itself, it is hardly possible
that the Trust managers can fail to per
ceiye that their only way of getting rid
of their surplus stocks is to Keep prices
where they will stimulate demand
In public point of view the develop
ment of corner prices in sugar would not
be without its compensations. 1t would
seal the doom of the Sugar Trust by ma
king the removal of the duties on sugar
foregOne conclusion. The Trust may
be able to perceive this fact, and vet be
ready to create the impression that this is
a good time for outsiders to load up with
| sugar.
