The Atlanta Constitution apol
ogetically remarks ^tiiat the Re
publican party isn’t ns corrupt
now as it was, because there isn’.
so much of it left.
Georgia Legislators are furnished
passes'over the roads of Georgia on
Saturday, and the Augusta News
says “the rush lor the clerk’s desk
after adjournment is ns line a sight
ns a circus ticket seller wishes to
see in his lifetime.”
Governor I’attison has already
taken a new and very sensible de
parture from Hie practice of Ids
predecessors. It has been the cus
tom at the inauguration of the chief
executive of the Keystone State to
assemble in Harrisburg nil the state
troops. The men were paid for
time, were fed and transportation
furnished at the state’s expense.
I’attison proposes to omit all this
needless parade, and says his in
auguration shall not cost the state
a dollar.
'l'lio Chicago Check says that
“prohibition in Iowa is a grand
suecsss. It is sosucccssfnl in fact
that the Mayor of Iowa City last
week began to issue license tr
saloon keepers just the same ns
though no prohibitory amendment
to the Constitution had ovei been
passed, by such an overwhelming,
knock-em-down majority. We say
this more in sorrow than in anger,
lor there is no more lirm believer
in the principles of true temperance
than Cheek, hut il you commence
to legislate men into conforming to
certain rules in their drinkertites
how long will it be before we shall
have bills and laws to regulate our
appetites ?”

and there met General Thomas,
himself a jonng man who was run

Thomas to lielp out liis railroad by
taking tbe contract to build forty
miles ol it. Thomas ut length did
so, and Major McCracken, of this
city, who built our two new roads,
The Now York Star takes the
position that a good mail in ollicc
ought to be kept there mid is sur
prised “thut a man like Senator
Yoorhces should say that tiic dem
ocratic party will sanction no ncl
which shall keep any republican
appointees in power should there
be a change of administration.’'
Tins is all very well so long as
ability is kept in view, but other
things being equal wc see no rea
son why a democratic administra
tion should appoint a republican
over a democrat with equal quali
fications. We fully endorse the
following from the Star: “Ifwe
know anything of the temper and
purposes ol the democracy, they
want, first of nil tilings, good gov
ernment, honesty and economy in
the federal udiiiistrnlioii, a policy
which looks solely to the benefit of
the people as a whole and the wel
fare of the whole country. They
want every ollicc filled by a calla
ble and faithful mid honest man.
They want a civil service system
which will tend, in the long run, to
secure the most efficient adminis
tration. The idea that they pro
pose to weed every republican out
ol the fcleral service amt-put dem
ocrats In their places, and then
fasten the doors witli a patent lock
no republican can pick, is revolt-!
ing to democrats everywhere.
They will not do what they have
condemned the republicans for
doing. They want no thcorcclic
nonsense introduced into a matter
of ‘such practical importance as the
civil service. But they do want to
stop the ulmsc of putrouage by the
the best field for the future. As
there is no competing line to sell
the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad to, they will probably build
it up und work it.

by this success, determined
tackle another railroad. They pur
chased tlio Ohio Central and began
to hull it mid extend it. They
soon found they imd cut off more
t.luiu they could chew, and their
New York linckers, who hud been
put in with them by Lum Cum
mings, the great railroad builder of
Chicago, weakened on the invest
ment. Brice and Thomas went oil
to New York and their fell in with
George I. Scnoy.
Do you know wliut that means?
In tlie president's room of the
Metropolitan hank, on Broadway,
in New York, may lie seen any day
a half score of quiet gentlemen,
who talk in low voices, look re
spectable, and in fact arc respecta
ble. They are known as the "Scncy
crowd" and represent from one to
twenty millions each. Moving
among them, dropping a word here
and there in a hearty way, hits
well-fed lace beaming, mid his
short-cropped whiskers just sprink
ling with grey, is I’residenl Scncy
himself.
Once hacked by Sency, tiic young
Ohioans had no more need of capi
tal. Mr. Scncy once told inc lint
during the current year he had
been asked to give direction to the
investment of fully one hundred
million dollars. The success that
attends all his ventures, his high
character, and the fine lot of plump
capitalists who hung on his word,
make him as potential a financier
is to lie loiind in Now York.
Whenever a man 1ms Scncy at Ins
hack in earnest lie is ns good ns
Vanderbilt or Gould for all practi
cal purposes.
Therefore, having once secured
Scncy ns a partner, Thomas A Brice
determined lo enlarge their opera
tions. They bought roads right
and left, nmdo money by tlie thou
sands, and llnnlly determined to
tackle Vanderbilt himself. Un-
dnuuted by King Bill's millions
they announced that they were go
ing lo build a road from New York
to Chicago, on an nir line, to com
pete with the Vanderbilt roads.
It wnsa collossal game of biulf.
Tlie papers wrote it down ss fool
Imrdy. Yuudcrbilt nml Ids crowd
tried to discredit it and weaken it.
It is even said that the trunk-line
kings depreciated their own stocks
and belittled their own earnings, iu
order to discourage the building of
a new line. They dubbed the
pitying
Yankton county bonds. Tlie re
publican majority will not like to
miss tlie opportunity to establish
a republican state, and.if it is not
admitted now it will have to wait
outside a democratic’ congress for
some years probably. Wc think
the rule ought to be •(■served not
to admit a stale unless it lias a
population equal to the number of
population fixed fora congressional
district. The republican party has
invested heavily in ‘pocket’ states,
and some of them, like Nevada,
have losses. The democrats
threaten to filibuster to the end of
time to prevent tlie admission of
Dakota.
