AT meeting of the directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. held in
Baltimore, on Wednesday last, the
resignation of President Mayer, which
has been sp ken of for some time, was
presented and accepted by the board,
but at the unanimous regret of the di-
rectors. Mr.. Mayer consented to serve
until his successor should be appointed
Mr. Mayer has been President
for the past seven years, during which
period he has given his entire time and
great business experience to the affairs
of the company; that there should be
a great diversity of opinion as to the
particular fitness of this or that person
10 manage the affairs of a great corpo-
ration like the Baltimore and Ohio,
under existing circumstances, is but
natural, and it is therefore not strange
that the present management should
have received unfavorable criticisms;
this in our opinion would probably
have been the case, no matter who
had been the President. When we
look at the great improvements made
by the Baltimore and Ohio during the
past seven years, requiring vast sums
OF money, and at time of great bust
hess depression, it is probably but nat.
ural there should have been a feeling
OF uneasiness upon the part of those
persons, who are holders of stock in
the Baltimore and Ohio, as also the
public in general. We have always
thought and still firmly adhere to the
opinion. that there is great future for
the Baltimore and Ohio and we hope
that the present difficulties will soon
be thing of the past.

A Worthy Example.

Says the Baltimore Telegram: Gov
ernor-elect Lowndes will be lnaugu-
rated January the Sth, the Slst ami
versary of the battle of New Orleans.
Inc victorious commander i'm that
memorable fight was a sturdy Demo-
crat, who became known to the coun-
Try as Hickory Jacksonu ana served
IL Tor eight years as its President. He
was, too, one of the great pillars of his
party, his patriotic iirmness was con-
splcuous trait in his character, and he
was ever decisive in the course of his
Official administration.
Mr.. Lowndes is not Democrat. INF
mats no reason why the anniversary
referred to, should not recall to his
mind the tenacious attitude of "Old
Hickory" on all public questions In
which the welfare of the country was
concerned, ana the sound results that
flowed from it. Our new Governor
may not be invincible to the demands
OF his party, but if the date noted is
even IN the least inspiring, his admin
istration will be one free from the prev.
aleht craftsmanship of the time, and in
iull accord with the sentiments and
desires of his entire constituency.

were heavily stocked for the holiday

The Cry Against Railroads.

For years past 1t seems to have been
a popular fad to clamor against rail
roads, and to hamper them in every
way as public carriers There is hardly
legislature in the country, that has
not regarded every public measure
looking To the better organization of
railroads as fit subject for pluuder.
There has been no bill presented for
the ueneiit Of railroads that has not
had to Jun the gauntlet of thA egis-
lative lobby, who prey upon IN such
legislation. The fact that thousandsand
hundreds of thousands of widows and
orphans in every section of the country
are depending upon dividends from
bonds and stocks of railroad corpora
ions for livelihood escapes the at
tention Of those who believe it a pop-
ular custom to cry out AGAINST railroad
monopolies, The fact that men of
means are induced to put their capital

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has arrived
safely in Washington from his hunting
trip, bringing with him a good size
string of ducks as the best evidence of

he ought to be able to least the fly" and
''ring the center" with infallible accu-
racy. He needs just such dexterity in
dealing with several affairs of State,

The Presidents message to Congress
on the Venezuela matter UNFOLDING the
Monroe Doctrine, is nuts for the ex-
treme jingoists Of Congress. Some of
them would like to see hostilities with
Great Britain or any other country,
and seem to be doing the talking nee
essary to incite such feelings in the
public mind. Nothing could be more
undesirable or destructive to our insti.
tutions. Mr.. Cleyeland's bold stand is
just what is necessary to curb the fiery
spirit of England and can be depended
upon to have the proper effect.
