The defeat Of the bill for refunding
the debts OF the Pacific railroads was a
bad blunder. trucking to Populism
and a mistake which some alleged
statesmen will wish they had not
made ere decade passes. The Gov

those roads for a large amount on
which interest has been paid for tiir-

nally sold below par they have been

through which the roads were to pass
was considered to be desert and was
inhabited by wild beasts and wilder
men. Settlements had sprung up on
the Pacific Slope. Mountain and
plain interposed almost impossible
barriers to communication between
the two sections and the project was
undertaken in order that the two sec
tons of the Union might be cemented
together. Without extraordinary in
ducements men would have been more
than idiotic to have undertaken any
such gigantic, not to say perilous en-
terprise. Lands were granted and
bonds issued by the Government dur
ing and Immediately after the close
of the Civil War. The cost Of con-
struction was enormous. Empires
have been opened to civilization.
Mines have been developed and those
roads have already returned to the
Nation, exclusive Of the cash paid as
interest, thousand times the amount
of the loan. 1t therefore looks like
an exceeding small business for the
Government, simply because it has
the power, to foreclose its mortgage
and crush the men who have invested
their all in these roads.

MEASURING MEN.

Ihe Herald IS puZLied 10 kuO"
whether the accomplished and erudite
editor of the Richie Gazette is Greek
or Roman. If a Greek, then may we
we'll beware the exceedingly hand
some compliment which he bestows
upon us. If a Roman, perchance like
Domitian, he has but to see public
virtue to destroy it.
He charges the Herald with taking
up "a small matter and distorting
"the meaning Of a paragraph in the
Gazette in such way as to harm Mr.
Bowers far more than the utterance
of this paper" 1.-THE Gazette] possibly
could have harmed him" We thus
have an admission that the paragraph
in the Gazette, which gave rise to this
controversy, was not altogether harm
less, as he would have had the public
believe, but was capable Of being so
distorted by the Herald as to injure
Mr.. Bowers. Therefore, if we,
friend, in our effort to set the Gazette
right, caused harm to emanate from
the paragraph, how much more dead
ly its character in the hands of one
not friend2
Cannot the Gazette now perceive

culated TO injure the one against
whom it was directed?
And still, with all Of these eviden-
ces confronting him, the editor OF the
Gazette reiterates the charge which
he and every acquaintance of Mr..
Bowers knows to be false.
Passing from that phase Of the dis
cussion, the Gazette proceeds to in
quire why Mr.. Bowers should be
Favored and honored'' with an APP
pointment as Collector of Internal
Revenue. We quote the Gazette:
"He" Mr.. Bowersl lis not public
speaker, not writer, not leader in
any particular That he is Repub-
lican and a good average citizen the
Gazette does not dispute

For Collector, Mr.. Bowers should
not be named in the same day with

latter has spent his time and his money
for the benefit Of the Republican party.
Four years ago the nomination for
Governor was forced on him and he
made such surprisingly good cam
paign, that in that year of Democratic
landslides, he was nearly elected
Without detracting in the least,
having the highest regard for Mr..
Davis, the Herald begs to inquire
wherein he measures above the stand
ard set for Mr.. Bowers by the Gazette1
Is he speaker, writer. or does he
lead in any particular Has not Mr..
Bowers also spent his time and money
for the benefit of the Republican party?

The passage of the tariff bill by the Senate
marked the elimination of an event that has
been looked forward to for some time. The
bill has now gone into the conference OF both
houses, and pending the announcement of an
agreement more or less uncertainty viii pre-
vail in the market. Today general conditions
show but little change, and although the So
curity market shows less speculative buoy

for the investors 30 liquidate
The market today showed great dullness
and there were some moderate reactions, but
there seemed 10 be nothing of sufficient mo-
ment to persuade operators TO sell the mar

increase in the professional short interest,

borrowed and the foreign houses returned the
