MOVING THE MAILS.

The trainmen leaders have assured Mar
shal Baldwin that they will do all In their
power to move the mails. They declared
that they had no quarrel with the United
States Government. Having thus defined
their position. they asked Mr.. Baldwin
what in his opinion constituted mail
train. Mr.. Baldwin is said to have replied
that his private opinion was subordinate
TO the opinion Of the Department of JUS
tice. Then the Marshal went on to state
that the Department of Justice had ex-
pressed the opinion that a mail train was
made up of engine. mail car, passenger
cars. Pullman car, and such other attach
ment as the Southern Pacific Company
ordinarily supplied. The whole train, in
Guiding all its attachments, was equally to
be protected by the Government. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, that the Department of
Justice is ranged on the side of the Pull
man Car Company. 1t proposes to use
the force that should be concentrated upon
the mail trains to compel the Railway
Union to move Pullman cars.
Among the maEy inconceivable blunders
Of the Cleveland administration this is
chief. There is no defense for it. The
United States Government has nothing 10
do with moving Pullman cars. 1t has
nothing to do with strikes. But it has a
good deal to do with moving the mails.
1t undertakes to perform postal service
for the people, and employs one of its
creditors to transport mail bags from place
to place. The creditor fails to transport
mail bags from place to place for the
alleged reason that combination of work
men refuse to help run trains to which
Pullman cars are attached. The duty of
the United States Government in the mat
ter is simple. It should require the South
ern Pacific to carry the mails If it cannot
hire men to carry. them in trains COM
posed In part of Pullman cars, it should
carry them as it can. The combination
of workingmen is on record as offering TO
do all in its power to move the mails. In
structions from Washington do not permit
the Marshal TO accept this aid. 1t is
made his duty also TO insist that Pullman
cars shall 60 with the mail trains.

PRESBYTERIAN PROGRESS.
Extension of the Ministerial Union
Decentralization.

Rev III. C.. Minton. DID,, president of
the Presbyterian Ministerial Union, pre-
sided at the weekly meeting in the Home
Of the Woman's Occidental Mission Board
yesterday morning, but as the terms of all
the officers had expired an election for
new ones was held, with the following re-
suit: Rev. w. B. Noble. DID,, president; !;
Rev. l. c. Smith, vice-president; Rev
James Woodworth, secretary and treas
urer; committee on correspondence--Re
ii. N. Bevier and Miss Minora Berry.

reported that they were making progress,
and the committee on Simultaneous Home
Mission meetings reported that they had
telegraphed the home board at New York
upon the subject
Rev. j. w. Ellis. d. D.. addressed the
union concerning the plan proposed by
him for enlarging the usefulness OF the
organization: His plan provided for the
formation OF lecture bureau, having for
its principal object the edification of the
public by lectures on subjects of an ethl-
cal and religious character, bearing on the
living issues of the day, to be delivered at
suitable points within the bounds Of the
union. Such bureau would supplement,
IN sense and to certain degree, the edl-
catioual influences OF our great universities,
and would at lhe same time tend to coun-
teract the skeptical and unevaDgelical
teachings which too often emanate from
them. His plan embraces also bureau
of evangelistic work, having for its lead
ing object the providing for unemployed
ministers by helping them to find places
where their services are wanted, apd aid
ing vacant churches to secureIsnitable pas
tors or stated supplies; also affording aid
in conducting evangelstic services when
desired by regularly employed ministers
or by sessions OF churches with vacant
pulpiis.
DR.. Ellis advocated the adoption of his
plan in an able argument, claiming that it
would prove to great extent the remedy
needed for some of the evils that are now
so severely felt by both ministers and
churches.
The presentation of the subject aroused
good deal of interest and led to an ami
mated discussion, which was participated

Dupuy, Clarke, Scott Minton, Perry,

extended half an hour In order to give as
many an opportunity to speak as possible,
the subject seemed so far from being ex-
haused that it was agreed to resume con-
sideration of it at the meeting three weeks
hence. whom it is expected that come def
mite conclusion concerning 1t will be
arrived at.

THE IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT.

The position the Southern Pacific has
taken in respect to its duty as common car
rer renders it unfit 10 be a common
carrier. lis willingness to sacrifice the IN
dustries of the State to what it conceives
to be its obligation to the Pullman Car
Company shows that the industries Of the
State are not safe in its hands. 1t is not
very material what may be the legal rights
of the company in attaching mail trains
to passenger trains. The important point
is as to The general service this company
is rendering the public. When the order
came from the Railway Union to cease
work on trains that were made up ID part
of Pullman cars the Southern Pacific was
afforded great opportunity. fit had had
the public spirit TO say that rather than
subject the people of the State to the loss
that tmustinevitably result from stoppage
of ali trains it would leave the Pullmans
off until the question could be arbitrated 1t
would have disarmed men who are now
ranked as its opponents. But what did
the company do? 1t employed the i'm
nense power its monopoly Of the trans
portation business gives it to injure the
State. 1t urged that it had contract with
TIE L uIIIEdu SOulPhhS hhuoS w nSpS
even if its keeping involved every indus
try in California in ruin and the breaking
of its contract 10 carry the United States
mail. Is Ii possible for the people Of this
State to con ntinue their ordinary work
while this monopoly holds The power it
now holds? People do not sow unless
there is a reasonable assurance that they
may reap. What assurance have our peo-
pie that at some future crisis they will not
be sacrificed as they have been the past
week? AT best the Southern Pacific ab-
serbs about all the profits of ordinary in
dustries. The enormous interest it has to
pay on bonds issued in excess of the cost
of the road compels it to charge these ex-
cessive rates. But to burdens the South
ern Pacific cannot avoid imposing it ADDS
other burdens even more grievous which it
might have spared US.

of 81, ,291, 045 on Improvements.
"The increase in new buildings over and

This has been an extraordinary year.
year of financial panic and commercial
disaster. This department had to face
complex task of great magnitude. Assess
ment values had to be reapportioned upon
an entirely new basis, basis that should
involve an equitable readjustment of the
burthens of taxation. Great difficulties
were to be met and solved. vast labor
was involved, values were constantly shift
ing, serious depreciation was followed by
depreciation still more serious. The year
ends with a staguant market and marked
by lower values in all real estate
holdings Want of confidence in financial
affairs and general uncertainty and dis
trust reacted upon labor and thousands OF
skilled workmrn and lab0rers were thrown
out OF employment; many who had in
vested their earnings in real estate were
unable 10 meet their payments. Sales Of
real estate outside OF business were few.
Sales in business sections showed a decline
of Is to 20 per cent. Transactions in other
localities indicate depreciation in still
greater degree. Property in the residence
sections has suffered seriously. Rents
have fallen 20 per cent in the last year."

THE WHITE CITY IN FLAMES.
Destruction Of Some OF the Handsomest of
The Worlds Fair Buildings-Loss
at Least $4,000, 900.

CHICAGO. January S.-Fire broke out
at $50 tonight among the Worlds
Fair buildings. By O'clock the casino
and peristyle had been destroyed and
the music hall and manufacturers and
liberal arts building were burning.
The fire started in the Casino, just
east of the agricultural buildings and
just south of the peristyle. The Casino
was quickly destroyed and the flames
surged north to the peristyle and drop
ping made a second line of fire along
the base of the columns. The flames
then sprung through the music hall,
which corresponds at the north end to
the peristyle of the Casino at the south.
While the fire was burning there was
one of the most singular aad fascinating
sights of the night. Along the top Of
the peristyie were scores of statues.
Irhe spectacle Of those people fortu-
nate enough to be on the moving side
walk just east of the peristyle was more
of a succession Of gigantic human
beings plunging one after another,
headlong into the waters of the lake
below. The origin Of the fire is said to
be revenge on the part of couple of
tramps.
Opinions seemed to be general that
the loss by water would be even greater
than that by fire. The Federal officials
put the maximum loss, ifthe fire does
not spread beyond the liberal arts
building, at s2 100000.

The Irby plan as set forth in the

does not seem to meet the approval OF
eli Of the leaders. The Columbia cor
respondent of the News and Courier

q State officer: awe have nothing but
Democratic clubs in this State. The
minority has come in with US, joined
our ranks as members of our clubs and
submitted to defeat. We cannot now
throw them overheard. [ am opposed

posed, and viii use every influence

now no need for such /" convention.
There was, I believe, necessity for q
March Conpeet:c.. We then had a
platform to adopt and principles to an
nounce; we cannot consistently hold a
iactional Convention to nominate OF
suggest any candidates. The whole
thing is wrong"
Well, now truly, this is refreshing.
A State officer under the present ad-
ministration willing to wipe out fac,
tional lines and opposed to factional

name be known.
1t is none of our fight. Our hope is
that the people will after awhile wake
M to realization Of the fact that all
these conventions and factions and fac
tional fights are not benefting them,
and only the leaders are getting the
piums.

We fnd the following in the News and
Courier from Timmonsville under date
ofJanuary 6: "Congrs sman McLaurlh
addressed small gathering OF the elect
among the Tillmanites il Traxier's
Hall this afternoon. Nearly all the
county leaders of the Reform move
ment were present. The supposed OBJ
iect of the meeting was to recall the
wool ring to their allegiance. Johnny
is nothing if not aggressive, and his
speech gave great delight to the faith
fal. He confessed that many mistakes
had been made, hut the boys must
stick the more closely to their leaders
and watch for the good times coming"
So while his name was being vainly
called in Congress in order to get q
quorum, and the Sergeant-at-arms was
being instructed to have him arrested
and brought to Washington to attend
to his duties. he was addressing "a
small gathering of the faithful" and
telling them to site for the good times
were coming. We suppose he con-
siders it his chief duty to make sure
his reelection.
There should be some way to make
Congressman attend to their duties.
