railroad manager replies to request for
reduction Of fares to a convention of re-
lgious bodies that it cannot be granted be-
cause the interstate commerce law, as con-
strued by the commission, forbids it. We
do not undertake to say that the commission
has not construed the law correctly, but we
doubt very much il Congress intended such
construction to be put upon it, The law
was enacted for the public good, and 1t was
intended to be aimed only at such discrimin-
atoms as were hurtful to the general public.
To give one shipper lower freight rates than
another is against public interest, for it
tends to create monopoly and concentrate
business in the hands of favored ones But
to give reduced rate to conventions of re-
ligous OF political or scientific bodies is not
Injurious to the general public. Technically
1t may be discrimination, but it is a dis
elimination which hurts nobody, of which
nobody complains. It is not the kind of dis
elimination Congress aimed at, though it
may be that it hit it, for Congress not infre-
quently shoots wide of the mark intended.

The record Of the New Jersey legislature
seems to have been pretty bad even for a
Democratic legislature. Elected by an alli-
ance with the saloon men of the State, the
majority have been almost completely under
their control from the first. The local OPP
ton law which the Republicans passed a
year ago has been repealed, and in place of
1t has been created law which processes to
put some restriction upon the liquor traffic,
but In fact does not much of anything. When
1t has not boon serving the run, men it has
been devising ways to get Democrats into
Office and Republicans out. Offices
which hitherto have heen regarded
and treated as non-partisan have been
used to reward faithful hench-
men. and the process has been
carried on until about all the State offices
are filled with Democrats, and for the most
part pretty poor Democrats Apparently
the majority took the view that one wear of
Democratic rule would be all that the people
would stand, and so determined to make hay
vigorously while the sun shone.

Correspondence of John Lothrop Motley
Edited by George William Curtis. Two vol
umes. New York: Harper & Brothers
Portland: Loring, Short & HARMONY If we
read these volumes supplementary to the ex-
cellent memoirs of the author by DIR. Holmes,
we get very complete life of the great his
torian. They are not closely enough con-
nected or full and varied enough although
voluminous-to give the reader in themselves
alone satisfactory view of the life and
character Of Mr.. Motley. These letters were
mostly written to his wife and members of
his own family, although generous contri-
button Of them goes to DR.. Holmes, with
whom Mr.. Motley was ever on terms of the
most delightful intimacy. There are some
notable omissions in the published CORES
pondeDce which we think careful search
might have supplied much to the enjoyment
and interest of the reader. We find very
little relating to the Crimean war and the
politics of the Eastern question !;
nothing concerning his recall as
our minister to England. Some
Of the earlier letters go over the ground
so often travelled by the multitude of Euro
pean tourists, but they lose little of their in
terest because the subjects are trite for he
adorns everything he touches by his genius,
and makes them attractive by the original
light in which he places them. His descrip-
tions Of the Apollo Belvidere, the Sistine
Madonna, Guides Aurora, and Rubens's De-
scent from the Cross are as full of grace and
symmetry. as spiritual and heavenly, as
richly colored as the originals themselves.
Perhaps the most interesting series of his
letters to the general reader are those writ
ten to his wife in the midst of London sea-
son, in which he gives admirable sketches of
the men and women whom he met, and
most interesting view of London society.
Macaulay, Thackeray, Lord John Russell,
Palmerston, Disraeli, Mrs. Norton and a
host of others are drawn in distinct portrai-
ture by few strokes of his pen. Although
living abroa d during the most of his maturer
years, he was intensely American in his
syinpathies and ideas. His letters written
during the progress of our Civil War attest
his great interest in the struggle, and his
high-spirited patriotism. No one can read
these volumes without saying that he has
been deliciously and sumptuously enter
tanned. i

tire railroad mileage of Montana; spans the
Territory with it's main line from east to west;
ia the short line to Helena; the only Pullman

that reaches Miles City, Billings, Bozeman, Mis-
soula, the Yellowstone National Park and, in
fact, uine-tenths of the cities and points Of in

The Northern Pacific owns and operates 621
miles, or Sc per cent of the railroad mileage of
Washington, its main line extending from the
Idaho line via Spokane Falls, Cheney, Sprague,
Yakima and Ellensburg, through the centre OF
the Territory to Tacoma and Seattle, and from
Tacoma to Portland. No other trans continental
through rail line reaches any portion Of Wash
ington Territory. Ten days stop over privileges
