TROUBLE FOR TAMMANY.

1t is well.
More than 5000 Dem Gratis who have
endured the political domination of
Tammany hall until patience has ceased
to he virtue and forbearance has be-
come little short of criminal met in New
York last night to take active meas
ures to successfully antagouize
that hated and debauched organization
Under the title OF the New York State
Democracy they propose tomove at once
upon Richard Croker and his army Of
menial and conscienceless ward-heelers
and wrest from them the political
supremacy that they have so long and
so defiantly flounied in the
faces of the respectable element
of the New York Democratic faith.
Their leaders number among the roag-
est and ablest politicians TO be found on
the Democratic side of the fence. Most
of them are young men who have not
been trained mp to the peculiar and dis
reputable methods OF Tammany and
iN'Oib Nb NhS iNtd lndb lIc pDll-
tics tf the .state must eyer be
dominated by "a party of unscrupulous
spoilsmen. Particularly do they desire
the scalp OF Boss Croker who has led
acqu e.cent Tammany into depths of
political infamy greater and more in
famous than ever it reached under the
leadership of even the notorious Boss
Tweed, and they will not rest content
until the scanty locks of Mr.. Croker
dangle from their girdles.
The News offers It's best wishes to
this new and determined elements of
tic Anti-Snappers. j. conjuuc ion with
the Republicans they ought to rid the
state of New York from the vicious and
element that has 50 long
shaped its political and moral fortuaes.
1t can assist in curbing if it chooses the
corrupt power that aspires to rule rot
only the state OF New York but the
whole nation as well. Let Mr.. Croker
and his gang of hireling corruptionists
hear and see and tremble.

A NEW LITERATEUR.

A worshipful admirer of Grover
6fevgfurd, whose Judgment pertaining
to matters literary is assumed TO be be-
yond dispute or cavil, slops over to the
extent of announcing in emphatic terms
that Grover as a man of letters is
the equal II not the superior OF
Thomas Macaulay. BY fecundity of
conception, delicacy Of exgres ,ion and
brilliancy of vocabulary this rising
American literateur is said to be on the
point of establishing reputation that
will throw his deeds OF statesmans Zip
into insignificant comparison.
The whole literary world will rejoice
that new star is to be added to its gilt
tering constellation and will rejoice in
adding to its library the elegantly bound
volumes Of the Congressional Record.
which contain Mr.. Cleveland's latest and
brightest bon mots. His annual mes
sages and his treatise on Hawaii
will mark a new epoch in the
nations bookmaking. Especially priced
will be the fugitive bucolics which
appeared in his last message, describing
in sweet and pathetic diction the latest
and most approved methods of incuba-
tion, tie care of the alfalfa, and
the proper amount of corn to be
administered, per pig, to
to assure fair profit on the output Of
the pen. In this branch of literature
Mr.. Cleveland almost rivals Virgil.
His masterly treatise on the Rise and
Fall and Rise Again of Monarchies will
also receive warm welcome from all
masters of the pen.

Will Railroads be Natlonallzed

It has been announced that the
 Pennsylvania Railroad. managers
 expect to reduce operating expenses
 by ten or fifteen per cent. In ac- complaining that end employees who can be spared from the company's service are to be discharged. A sim
 liar announcement has come from
 the management of the Baltimore
 and Ohio system, as we'll as from
 other roads east and west. The causes leading up to this curtailing
 of expenses are of two kinds-both
 working to reduce the income of the roads and to imperil the profits of invested capital. One series of causes is to be found in the compe- tition of rival roads. Freight rates have been reduced to the minimum. passenger traffic is less profitable than formerly, while the necessary improvements of service and appli- ances make operating expenses larger and larger each year. To ob- tain business at all the best tracks and rolling stock are required, while the strife in rates is such as to bring receipts down to the limit of living profit.
 Another series of causes is to be found in hostile State and National legislation. The States are taxing the corporations, and the National Congress is surrounding the roads with regulations whick make their management difficult and conner cially perilous. For instance, the law passed by the last Congress compelling interstate railroads to adopt the automatic carcoupler will involve the expenditure of mill ions of dollars by every trunk line in the country. This view of the presents the roads engaged in losing fight to keep up profits and make receipts sufficiently great to warrant dividends on stock, and not few astute managers foresee the collapse of trunk-line enter prises and the final acquisition of interstate railroads by the Govern ment to be run at cost for public convenience. The finger of pro- gress appears to not few to be pointing unmistakably in that di- rection.-W. D. McCracken, A. M., in the Arena.
