NJ. Monroe and 4. Morine, representing
the Opposition. Colonial Secretary Robert
Bond was SO outspoken in his denun-
citation of the mother country, and his
course has been so embarrassing to the
Colonial Office that il was found neces-
sary to omit him from the delegation
which has been sent to England to protest
against the Knutsford bill. Just before
the delegates sailed on April I, Mr.. Bond
was charged in the Assembly by Delegate
Morine with falsehood and duplicity in
bis attempt to negotiate a treaty with Mr..
Blaine. The House censured Morine for
SANDER and as a hired agent of Canaln.
To rescind his appointment as delegate,
however, would make the delegation q

jay GOuld's Special Train Makes
Flying Trip Eastward.
CIHCAGo, April 2I,-There has been a
good deal of talk regarding the fast time
made by Jay Gould in his special train
from Omaha to Chicago, and reports 50
far seem to have differed widely. Mr..
Gould's special train left the local depot
at Omaha Wednesday morning at 5;ll
O'Clock, arriving at Western avenue, Chi
Cago, at 3:45 o'clock in the afternoon.
The distance covered was 4SS miles, in ten
hours and four minutes, making the
average rate of speed, including stops, a
fraction over forty.eight miles an hour.
The run from Clinton, Iowa, 1876 miles,
was made in two hours and thirty-sx
minutes or fraction over 52.3 miles an
hour.
In railroad circles it is believed that
Mr.. Gould did not make this run for
diversion, but that he had some definite
object in view, and that the trip he made
will have its effect in the operation of the
system, possibly in the Inauguration Of a
better limited train service.

The Stock Market was active again this
morning. By noon 205900 shares were
sold. The market opened steady, but un-
der a pressure to sell during the first half
hour prices declined Z to | per cent, the
latter in sugar trust. The stocks which
were especially pressed for sale were
Rock Island, ST. Paul, Northern Pacific
and Sugar Trust. Toward II o'clock the
selling ceased and subsequent heavy
buying caused prices 10 recover rapidly.
At 1880 the early decline had not only
been recovered but fractional advance
established, but at about that hour the
news reached the stock that further en-
gagements of gold had been made. IL
was announced that 81 ,050,000 would be
shipped by to-morrow's steamers. This
checked the advance and by midday val

Mn. HARRISON HAS concluded his tour
SO far rs the Southern States are con.
corned He has necessarily omitted from
his itinerary many important and repre-
sentative points. For instance he has not
seen Richmond, Louisville Charleston,
New Orleans, Nashville and other cities of
large and growing population. But his
visits to Atlanta Chattanooga, Birming-
ham, Memphis, Little Rock and Calves
ton have given him valuable insight
into the progress and the civilization of
the South and It may reasonably be cx-
pected that the effect will be beneficial in
every direction.
We confess to a consuming curiosity to
know how far, if at all, the Presidents
impressions and observations have modi-
fed his views as to the necessity for q
Force bill such as that which Messrs.
HoAR, LoDcE and DAVENPORT formulated
and he approved in the last Congress. No
one questions Mr.. HARmsoN's intelligence
or his patriotism. We venture to say that
he would not advocate or even tolerate a
measure which he thought would operate
injuriously in any part of the country.
" lANAlf lN lllNIl 0tAt NllAl ltiOlA-
mended the Force bill, he did so because
he considered IL rs wise and benefCent
instrument calculated to promote the
country's welfare and perpeiuate our in
siitutions.
But now that he has visited the more
progressive and prosperous parts of the
South; now that he has come in contact
with the South's representative people;
now that he has made himself an eye
witness to the industry, the courage and
the advancement of the population, does
he or does he not continue in the convic-
tion that il would be well, either for the
South or for the country at large, to enact
81 law that would replace peace with dis
order and create hiatus in the record of
prosperity? 1t is only a question of fact
If Mr.. HARRISON has been enabled to per-
ceiyc the deeper meaning of the condi-
tions which have supervened upon the
turmoil and distress of reconstruction; if
he has had the opportunity to realize that
the South is rapidly advancing 10 a new
order of things and to more auspicious
civilization, then he wifi see, and he will
frankly acknowledge the folly Of disturb
ing so splendid and benefcent an cvolu-
ton. The only fear is that the President,
i'll the whirl Of reception ceremonies and
the eXactions imposed upon him by the
eifusiye hospitalities he has encountered,
may not have been able to recognize and
weigh the profounder significance of the
situation.
That he is an earnest hgh.minded pa
triot there can be no doubt That the
full lesson Of the South's brilliant dcvel-
opment will be brought home to him is
not so certain. Those who love their
country can only wait and hope.

PERHAPS THE New York EJeHiag Pos,
which have found so much to criticize in
Secretary TRACY's treatment of Comman-
der REITER, will subside after a while.
The Secretary is not in the least disturbed
by their clamor, nor is any citizen of
average intelligence likely to be deluded
into accepting their conclusions. The
simple truth of the matter is that Com
mander REITER's action in the Barrundia
affair was unsatisfactory to his superiors
and he was rebuked by the Secretary ac.
CordinRly. Whatever the Post and the
Times may think as to the propriety of
Mr.. TBACY's action, the latter is quite sat
isfed that he did the proper thing and no
doubt enjoys the approval of the Presi-
dent. This is enough to sustain him,
even under the burden of Mugwump
condemnation. Under the circumstances
we really see nothing for the Post ana the
Times except TO rest themselves and try to
bear il.
Neither is there the smallest incon-
sistency in Mr.. TRACY's assignment of
Commander REITER to the Thetis. Ii was
never INTENDED 10 set hElTER ASIDE perma-
nently, or to subject him to continuous
and sustained punishment. He was re-
lieved from the command Of the Ranger,
Teprimanded for what the Secretary
regarded as his shortcoming, and put
ON waiting orders until some service
better suited to his talents could
he found for him. Such service
now presents itself. The Thetis is not an
armed cruiser, the command of which
calls for the exercise of special discretion
ard delicacy. She is engaged in scientific
work with definite programme prepared
for her at the Department. Commander
REITER is thought to be adapted to this
work and he gets the assignment.
That is all there is Of it. Mr.. TRicY
does not reCede from the attitude involved
in his reprimand. That stands. But II
was not bis purpose to degrade or sholve
Commander REITER and, now that he has
q duty in which he thinks the officer can
be useful, he assigns him and 50 closes
the episode.
