Tub Tennessee campaign is novel, if not unprec ertonted, in the fact that the two parties have nominated two brothers, ns their candidates for governor. Tennessee iH a state which the republi cans hnvc for years been hopeful oi cap turing, and as they came in about 7000 votes of electing their governor in 1884, they entered the canvass of 1880 with great confidence, lint the preliminary election for judges and county officers last week showed that the tide had turned, as the democrats gained largely in almost every county. The republi cans for the lirst time lost a considerable share of the negro vote, while they suf fered also the loss of the “floating vote," which always drifts towards the party that is in control of the national admin istration. There is consequently no reason to suppose that the “solid south” can tie broken this year. Rumors from the Rio Grande have been abundant and various enough dur ing the past ten days to satisfy all tastes. At one moment we have had Mexican canon pointed at the Texan hunk, caus ing the blood of the dwellers thereon to “boil with indignation,” and presently we have seen these boiling observers simmer down on discovering that the canon were figments of the imagination. We have had reports of Mexican raids into Texas and of the capture of Raw- ton’s entire force—this latter rumor lieing specially startling, inasmuch as the Mexicans have hitherto been furnishing Captain Lawton maps and guides for the pursuit of Geronimo. We shall probably have many more exciting dispatches from this region with much more boiling of the blood, even if produced less by Mexican hostile demonstrations than by the heating influences of speeches like that of the Texas candidate for office who lias just expressed a desire to lead a force into Mexico and give “every man a hacienda.” Tub New York Times says that the sea serpent has consented to appear for a short season oil 1‘igeon C'ove, on the Massachusetts coast. The enterprise of the seashore landlords who have at great expense procured this curiosity as an at traction for the waning and somewhat unsutisfai tory season should he appre ciated, and it is to he hoped that the venerable, hut versatile and pleasing, snake will play to a full house through out his engagement. It is admitted that a school of porpoises was seen in the immediate neighborhood of the serpent, aud tbis may he regarded by unbe liever.- as a ground for suspicion. But preparations for the serpent’s appearance had been made with great care. A sur veyor was on hand with his instruments, and wise forethought had provided him with witnesses in the shape of two or three Boston schoolmasters and an artist. How, then, can any one dare to say that the “ten or fifteen ridges” of the snake’s back were only so many curving por poises? It should he mentioned that among those who occupied orchestra chairs were “a small number of hotel guests.” Unless this number shall speed ily increase, the manager's investment will be a total loss. tll.llXK AMI Ills lmnWKIX. Ju.-cph It. Bodwell has been nominated by the republicans as a candidate for governor, and unless Bonnie Ben Butler gets in bis way is likely to be elected. Mr. Bodwell has made known his acceptance of tbo nomination in a long letter to the committee of the conven tion. A special dispatch to the New York World is authority for the state ment that tlie letter is believed to be from the pen of Blaine, who ‘elected Bodwell as a man whom he could control and who would contribute liberally to the Plumed Knight’s presidential cam paign. It takes up the labor question, the prohibition movement, the tariff - , and nearly all subjects that have become political issues. It is understood that the letter nas been submitted to the republican bosses, and is the platform on which Blaine will stand for the campaign of 1888. The letter handles all the points which are calculated to bring votes to the Plumed Knight. The promises to the labor men embrace precisely the de mands agreed upon at their convention held recently. Bodwell,acting as Blaine’s mouthpiece, comes out squarely for tem perance, although he dodged the proinbi- tion amendment and lifts been on tin un certain footing heretofore. In the stump speeches which Blaine is advertised to make every day during the campaign lie will advocate the principles set forth in Bodwell’s letter. The other speaker- have agreed to do the same, and a simi lar policy w ill be pursued by Blaine in liis presidential canvass, for which he is already preparing. The following ex tracts show Blaine’s plan to unite tin 1 factions of the republican party and the bids for the workingmen and temperance vote. On the liquor question Mr. Bodwell says : 1 congratulate the members of the convention upon tlie unmistakable terms in which they en dorse tlie prohibitory liquor law. Every voter knows that tlio republican party lias steadily fa vored prohibition, and that the democratic party has steadily opposed it, and yet a convention, called in tlie name of prohibition, deliberately adopts a course which, if it lias any effect at all, would turn tlie state over to the control or the democratic party and to the enemies of prohibi tion. With those prohibitionists who are bent on this destructive course it may be idle to argue, hut without questioning the sincerity of their motives I must lie permitted to say that their ooursc tends evidently and quickly to the de struction of the reform whole supposed interest their movement is organized. Tlie republicans of Maine will, as they have for more than a quar ter of a century, steadily maintain prohibition, but they will not cut loose tloni that great na tional organization, which in peace and in war lias upheld the integrity and honor ofthe union and secured the prosperity ofthe people. An effort will be made to poll the largest republican majority at the coming election that has ever been cast. The management of the campaign is in the hands of Blaine’s old and faithful lieu tenant, Joe Manley, who is in daily com munication with liis chief. More speak ers and more money will he spent in Maine this year than ever before. Ollt ENVOI' TO MEXICO. Interest in the Cutting case is abating as it becomes more and more generally believed that the matter with Mexico will be settled by diplomatic negotiations. An envoy lias been sent to the City of Mexico to examine carefully all the de tails, legal and otherwise, in any way connected with the question in order that there may be no ill-informed action on the part of tlie United States. This we consider a mere act upon the part of Secretary Bayard and demonstrates the sincerity of his prudent conduct in efforts to settle the ease upon its merits. There can possibly no barm come from this proceeding, as it by no means affects the basis of diplomatic negotiations. The state department makes no concessions and it is well understood, does not agree to bo in the least committed by any re port that the envoy may make on his return from Mexico. The object of Mr. Bayurd in this means no more nor less than to give Mexico a full opportunity to present the Mexican side of the question. There is no desire upon the part of either government for a war between Mexico and the United States, and under such circumstances as these, it is to he pre sumed that a settlement can easily be effected. Wo submit, however, that if left with the common mass of people in Mexico, that a solution of the matter would be made much more difficult. Among the better classes there is a great pride of blood, but nowhere in the republic is there the slightest trace of patriotism. The country comprises a congeric of in dependent principalities in which a nationul spirit has found no lodgment whatever. The leaders, tlie men who manipulate affairs of government, state and national, are military men as an about universal rate and thoy are re strained by neither pride nor patriotism from directing their efforts to their own personal advantage without regard to tlie public welfare. Thu people, a vast majority of whom are illiterate Indians, have no conception whatever of what their government is and do not bother themselves about its details. Here are all the conditions necessary to a paradise for adventuiors. Notwith standing liis apathy concerning things governmental, however, the Mexican is a creature of violent prejudices and liis dislike of the American is ineradicable. It is that, no matter what change may come in their political relations, the greaser and the gringo will never become reconciled to each other; will never amalgamate. Just now as the matter stands, it ap pears that each nation is right from its own standpoint. If our envoy can dis cover a way out of the deadlock, it will he well. But even iflie should fail it by no means effects the negotiations pend ing- routes MAM it. OX RAM.1IOADS. In advance of tlie annual publication of Poor’s Manual, which has grown to be a sort of broker’s Bible, sheets of the in troduction have been put out. They show that the total mileage in the United States is now 128,729, which is ail in crease for tlie year of only 3,131 miles, or two per cent., which is the smallest for some years. The total capital stock is 83,817,(107,832, the funded debt $3,765,727,- 0(16, and the unfunded debt 82.711,108,281, The passenger train mileage was 211,587,- 020 and the freight train mileage 342,- 288,670. The earnings were $200,883,011 from passengers and $519,600,992 from freight, the total from all sources footing up tlie enormous sum of $705,310,519. The expenses were $498,821,526, and the net earnings j $266,488,993. The interest paid on bonds amounted to $179,081,323 and $78,672,105 went out in dividends. This is almost exactly the same amount paid in 1880, after which the amount rose steadily until 1884! when the dividends fell of nearly 10 per cent, and last year the falling off from 1884 was nearly 15 per cent. The amount disbursed in dividends in ISkii was earned by a third less capital. The results of reorganisations are shown in the fact that the capital stock per mile has steadily decreased for three years, while the bonded debt is about station ary; the capital stock per mile is $29,807 and the debt $29,453, making an average enst. of road and equipment $55,059 to the mile. The gross earnings were $6265 per mile and the net $2185, or an average of less than 4.per cent, on the cost. The average passenger la'epcr mile for the first time fell below 1 cent, averaging .95 per cent., which is a falling off'of 5 per cent, during the year. There is a very slight improvement in the freight rate, which was 1.52 cent- against 1,5 for the year before which was the smallest ever known. Tin- average passenger t rip was 26 miles, which is a little less than in either ol the ]iast. two years, but atrille more than in 1882. The interest paid on bonds averaged 4.77 and dividends only 2.02 per cent. On the whole investment, both in stock and debt, there was an average return of 8.36 per cent. On these roads there are laid 98,102 tons of steel rails and 61,905 of iron, the proportion of the latter being stead ily growing less. The number of engines is 25,937, and the increase during the year was 1360. Three establishments in the country could have furnished the whole additional motive power for the year. The Manual contains a complete list of dividends paid during the last eight years, and the range of prices for stocks and bonds by months for the last six years. Twenty-six roads were sold under foreclosure, with a total length of 2879 miles, a capital of $120;089,850, and a funded debt of $139,058,077. Receivers were appointed for fifty railroads with a capital of $208,915,236 and a bonded Gel it of $297,395,122, and having a total mileage of 9885 miles. The most important in the list is the Texes and Pacific and the Host Tennessee, which has already been reorganized. The world’s mileage is 470,- 197, of which 201,770 are in this country. The first line opened waH in England, September 27, 1827. The British colonies had their first line thirty years ago, and a road was opened in British India in 1853. In 1873 Japan had its first line of railway. In order to reduce the bulk of the Manual, whose growth each year is in evitable, the names of tlie officers have been cut down to a short list, and a directory of railway officials has been published separately. This contains not only a list of railway officials, directors and contractors, but a full list of the vari ous manufacturers engaged upon railroad work, and much other material. Gen. Butler is said to have developed a sud den fancy for fellow decorations. He is charged with purchasing hundreds of yards of yellow ribbon to tie bows on the furniture of his house and yacht. We commend the general for culti vating little diversions of this kind, but still he is not happy. He has not the power to paint the white house a straw-colored brindle color. Margery Deane describes the belle of Rich- tiel d Springs as being “like a piece of Dresden china, and whom Titian would paint were he not now engaged in that far-away, mysterious coun try—a slip of a girl with the hair he loved and a wax-like skin, and clad in a simple gown, de signed by her own self, and wearing the very biggest lia , l■ • : created.'* It is said now that Bonnie Ben Butler, the political acrobat, has his eye again on the gover nor’s chair in the Massachusetts state house.
