over to Tishomingo last Sunday

progress, besides nearly getting
into a fight with a Tishomingo
buffer, a swift curve thrown by
the pitcher caught him just two

A New Railroad.

The Daily News learns that Col.
Ed. Slayton, OF Rosser, has devel-
oped into a real railroad magnate.
Always, heretofore, the people of
Rosser have had great difficulty in
getting their cord wood out of the
river bottom, and consequently there
have been times when the wood us
ers in the surrounding country have
suffered for fuel. but now Mr.. Slay-
ton has solved the question. He is
constructing a road from Rosser in
10 the heart of the wood-producing
district along the river, building
right to the waters edge at the boat
landing, so that the handling Of
freight will be an easy matter. BY
this arrangement he is prepared to
connect direct with the river craft
and will be in position TO ship
wood and other freight both ways.
IL is announced that several block
OF stock IN this new line are TO be
placed on the market right away

An Open Secret OF Success.

Mr.. John Wanamaker, who began
business with confidence. a few
goods and a wheelbarrow, will erect
in Philadelphia a twelve-story bull
ding to cost s., 1000 900. He never
undertakes anything unless he has
a reasonable assurance that it will
succeed, and his expectations are
generally realized.
Mr.. Wanamaker has great faith in
advertising. He says he has never
found anything To pay as well as
the money he has spent in newspa-
pers in letting the people know what
he has and what he is doing. He
uses thousands Of dollars yearly in
this way, and 1t is clear that he
finds it pays.
No matter how able business
man may be, the wisest finds he
must go before the public through
a medium that reaches the homes.
Competition may be sharp, as it
gen orally is, but the maa of busi-
ness who tells the people what he
has, aud always keeps faith with
them, will surely reap the reward Of
his energy.
Mr.. Wanamaker's success has
been an incentive to many a man
who has found, as he has, that moth.
ing pays better than Advertising

While In Waxahachie last week
Argus-News man was informed by
an implement dealer there that,
within the week, he had sold q rid
ing planter eachto four farmers liv~
ing within tn fee miles of Midlothian.
Now, Midlothian is the rightful
market of these farmers and, being
SO much nearer their homes, 1t would
seem that they would prefer to trade
here. Midlothian merchants un-
doubtedly sell at as low prices as
any town in this section and one is
at loss to understand why people
should prefer to buy agricultural
implements or other goods at Wax
ahachie, ten or twelve miles away,
rather than pay the same price for
such articles right at their doors
The only logical explanation would
seem to be that the Waxahachie
merchants are continuous and per-
sistent advertisers and keep con-
stantly before the people the idea
that their prices are lower and their
goods better than those of surround
ing towns, thus drawing trade that
legitimately belongs to other places

THE NEW ELECTIONS SUPERINTENDENT.
Governor OdelI has acted wisely in placing
the State Bureau of Elections in the hands OF
a man who could command public confidence.
His good Judgment commended itself to the
Senate. which, in spite Of q strained situation
and a temptation to prolong the personal ami
mosities Of the organization leader and the So
called insurgent Senator'S unanimously con-
firned Mr.. Morgan yesterday, though on the
night before there were some signs of dis
position on the part of Mr. McCUIlagh's friends
to delay action.
Mr. McCulagh has unquestionably done some
useful work and through his experience with
the police helped TO circumvent Devery when
the latter was in command and the force was
at the service of Tammany for the protection
of illegal voters. He has. however. since that
time been a great disappointment, and has
come to be thought of as a politician and pro-
moter rather than as an impartial adminlstra-
tor and detective Whether just or unjust the
charges that he used. or threatened to use. his
office to defeat the election of a candidate so
far impaired public confidence in the bureau S
managed by him as to destroy his usefulness
In the office and Governor Odell only did his
duty in refusing TO reappoint him.
Mr. Morgan the new Superintendent of Elec-
tions, has as an Assistant District Attorney had
an experience which should admirably fit him
for the administration of the Elections Bureau.
His executive abilities have attracted attention,
and there has been some talk Of his being
made a deputy police commissioner. He is
familiar with the methods OF criminals and the
.'Tammany system as far as 1t still exercises
influence among the police, and doubtless will
be able to secure fair election next fall. 1t
may, indeed be of the utmost Importance to
have man Of this sort at the head Of the
Elections Bureau, one who can be trusted TO
see that fusion voters are justly treated.
The Three Platoon bill has just passed the
legislature and goes TO the Mayor. Some Of the
patroImen who are believed to have raised
large corruption fund TO secure this measure
have threatened TO have revenge on the ad-
mnistration If it does not grant their demands.
As the three platoon scheme is grated upon a
bill for needed increase of the force, the Mayor
may possibly feel obliged. for the sake Of public
safety, to accept it But if he concludes that
the present force is as efficient as the larger
one soldering in three platoons would be, and
vetoes it. doubtless he viii awake police enmity.
Probably the Democrats who, with the aid Of
Mr. Wilcox and certain other Republican Sen
ators who have been conspicuous for their grab
bill attacks on New-York City, put the bill
through, count on this enmity to help elect q
Tammany Mayor 1t is a great satisfaction to
know that provision for an honest election is in
trustworthy and competent hands.

THE CITIZENS UNION.

The convention of the Citizens Union on
Thursday evening did the work appropriate to
the occasion in an excellent manner, and if
the spirit which speakers, delegates and reso-
lutions exhibited guides the conduct Of the COM
mIttee designated TO represent the organization
during the next six months we may reasonably
hope that the result will be another successful
campaign for good government 1t had been
predicted that some sharp expressions Of dis
satisfaction with Mayor Lows administration
would give comfort to its avowed enemies. but
the commendatory resolutions, finding fault in
only one particular, were adopted without a
dissenting voice by a convention of almost q
thousand members.
IN the matter Of rapid transit legislation
1.-THE Union believes in a larger and more in
dependent policy than the Mayor has yet pro-
posed; but that declaration viii not put q
useful weapon in the hands Of Tammany
though some Of the excited persons who have
been talking foolishly the last week or two
may wish il might. Our own opinion is that
the Mayor is right il thinking that it is wise
20 postpone further rapid transit legislation
until more deliberate survey Of the situation
has been taken, but inasmuch as the delegates
of The Citizens Union think that a comprehen-
sive plan of procedure ought to have been
decisively adopted already they did well TO say
So There would have been no cause for CON-
plant or anxiety if they had felt that they
ought TO disapprove some other details of the
Mayors policy and had signifed their dissent
IN temperate terms. No man Of sense expected a
perfect government when Mr.. Low was elected,
or now thinks there is no room for improve
rnent. The paramount fact is that we not only
have an administration which, as Mr. Cutting
said, holds itself accountable TO the citizens
instead Of 70 an irresponsible boss" but that un-
der conditions Of excessive difficulty deliberate
" contr3ved for it by Tammany the administra-
ton has, in the words OF the resolution, con
Quoted the government Of ulis city with
moral purpose, q sterling honesty and busi-
"ness sagacity that have earned the approba-
stion Of all citizens who are determined TO per
"1nanentIy rescue the municipality from the
'organized corruption Of Tammany Hall and
from uisgovernmeut for partisan ends and
personal greed.
We observe that some comments on the pro-
ceedings Of Thursday evening refer particularly
10 the enthusiasm with which the names of

THE POST ROAD GRAB AGAIN.

Attention is called to the fact that the project
for surrendering the Albany Post Road to a
trolley company is still alive. 4 week or two
ago it was declared TO have been abandoned.
That may or may not have been ruse for
throwing the defenders of the road off their
guard At any rate. the scheme has now been
taken up again, with the evident intention Of
rushing it through in the closing hours of the
legislature.
1t is not necessary TO rehearse the arguments
against this iniQuitOus scheme. There has
never been proposed a worse piece of vandalism
or a more impudent invasion of the rights OF
the public 1t is wholly bad. There is abso-
Iutely nothing to be said in its favor 1t aims
at the irremediable sacrifice of a noble public
possession for the enrichment Of a sordfd and
selfish corporation. It should be defeated SO
emphatically that no one will ever venture to
propose it again.
In such a case as this the champions of public
interest ought to be at least as alert and ener-
getic as the promoters of corporate greed.
Locally they are The people of Dobbs Ferry,
Tarrytown and other villages have made their
wishes known in no uncertain tones. They are
doing all they can TO protect not only their own
rights and welfare but the interests Of the
people of this city, and, indeed, of the whole
State all of whom are concerned in the preser-
walton Of this unique possession from spoliation.
II is to be hoped that legislators from this
city and from all over the State will do their
duty in tine premises.

10Y being so reflected on. Who appointed
Major Woodbury.. DR.. Lederle and General
Greene? The Mayor cannot clean the streets,
safeguard the public health and command the
police in person. but neither can he be deprived
of the credit which belongs TO him when those
important duties are well performed. In PR
vate affairs we never heard of an attempt TO
worry and disparage an administrative chief
by proclaimng the wisdom with which he had
selected his subordinates The highest proof OF
executive ability is judgment in choosing the
agents by whom orders must be executed. The
Mayor can ask no stronger Endorsement than
hearty praise of the heads Of the municipal
departments.
