NO HONEY IN AN OFFICE.
Ohio's Fx-Governors Never Leave Colum-
bns With More Than They Can Carry.

bus With More Than They Can Garry.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 7.-[Spscidt lit was q
neat bit of sympathetic expression and
good will which attended the departure
of Ex-Governor Campbell for his temporary
home in New York last evening. He had
abandoned the Kelly mansion on Broad
street, the leading residence thoroughfare
of the city, and had taken rooms at the
Neil House pending his departure While
the exact time at which the Ex-Governor
would leave for the East was not generally
known, yet 1t was certain that he would go
in few days, and this was sufficient for
round of private dinners club gatherings
and social events in his honor
1t is doubtful if any former official in the
State ever met with SO many kind words
and we'll wishes on the eve of his departure
as we're snowered upon Mr.. Campbell.
Party lines did not pierce the generous ex-
pressions which cheered the distinguished
gentleman. but Republicans were equally as
prominent as Democrats in their efforts to
extend honor and goodwill. That Governor
Campbell would leave for New York with
his family in the evening became quite well
known by midday, and from that time on
there was a continuous reception at his
rooms. Cards announced the coming of
the guests in the afternoon and toward
evening the pressure became so great that
formal1tles were abandoned and the people
proceeded direct to the quarters on the
second floor. The most prominent profess
s1onal and business men of the city were to
be found in line and the expressions which
were heard were certainly sufficient to indi-
cate to the Ex-Governor that he had made a
favorable impression upon the people, not
only officially but in a social way.
When the time arrived for Mr.. Campbell
and his family to meet their train they were
still surrounded by friends, and were accom-
panied to their carriages by large number
of people. Many a man who could have no
other reason than friendship expressed the
wish that the Ex-Governor would become
one of the most wealthy men in the country.
They seemed to appreciate the motive which
led him to announce he would not accept a
Cabinet position should it be offered, and
that he could not under any circumstances
be a candidate for Governor of Ohio again.
Those who know MI. Campbell best are in
formed of the tact that he is in considera-
BILE manner embarrassed financially and the
aim of his immediate future is to secure re.
lief from the embarrassments in which poll
tics have placed him.
The story of Governor Campbell in this re-
gard is not materially different from that
which has attended the retirement of many
other Governors of the State. Hoadlv was q
financial wreck when he went out; Foraker
was embarrassed to the point of economy
in the necessities of life; Campbell suffered
humiliation by extravagant reports of his
condition, and it Is now whispered that Gov
ernor Mckinley is not easy and unmindful
of the luture. 1t is embarrassing to be an
honest Governor.

WORSE THAN sHERMAN,s MARCH.
A Southern Railroad President Inveighs
Against a Commission Bill.

A Southern Railroad President Inveighs
Against a Commission Bill.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 7.-President V. E.
McBee, of the Richmond Terminal system,
made sensational speech tonight before
the Senate Committee on Railroads regard
ing the proposed railroad commission bill
now before the General Assembly. The bill
proposes to give the commission power to
fix all freight. and passenger rates, to regu-
late joint rates, supervise all contracts and
agreements, to direct and control the build
ing of all depots and warehouses and to a.
range schedules. Railroads are denied the
right to appeal from the decisions of the
commission.
Mr. McBee described it as scheme of
confiscation under forms OF law. He said it
violated the States contract to give corpor-
ations chance to live expressed in the
charters gran ted them, and that it went be-
yond the idea of communism, which is to
seize private property to be divided among
the people, to anarchy, which means wanton
destruction of values without purpose or
benefit to anybody. Colonel McBee de-
clared that the operation of such law
might destroy the railroads as completely
by our own people as If General Sherman
were again at work.

Of a municipal spirit they will wonder that
the revelation has been so long in coming.
Among the other features of that happy era
will be the divorce of mayoralty nomina-
tions and elections from partisan political
organizations. II the citizens would get
together and formulate a municipal plat
form the mattero of selecting suitable candi-
dates would be greatly simplified. Failing
that, the self appointed or party-nominated
candidates should construct such platforms
for themselves, that voters may at least be
given the chance to judge between their
respective merits.

arrays the interests of employers and

scales, voluntary arbitration is the last
alternative to the wasteful and dangerous

The extreme notoriety of the Cooley

about, it is not the fault of the City Hall
controversialists. Meanwhile the fact is
noticeable that the practical situation is
not altered much from what it was when
the discussion began. Chief of Safety Brown
insists that there is ne mandatory ordinance
for raids and declines moving unless
specially instructed by the Mayor; while the
Mayor declares that he is not called upon to
name a date or outline details of procedure.
So far tile movement is mostly distinguished
for its abundant literature.

ANY attempt. to limit Mr.. Clsveland's
choice OF office-hoiders according to their

an out and out advocacy of the spoils sys-

connection between political victory and
a distribution of political affairs. But there
is absolutely no room in this country Tor
considering religious opinions in making
political appointments.

have just returned from the most complete

far as st. Louis, that they have ever been

calculations for new grades, shortening
curves, preparing for cuts and straighteu-

laid before the directors of the Baltimore

much OF this work will be done before the
