"Kit, tho Ar- + tangas Traveler!” MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1880, ‘Tu revival of good times—tho “business boom,” so enlled—has given almost every elass n° lift forward except publishers of newspapers, Strange ns it miay sound, the general advance In wages and prices which pleases the puble so much has mide harder “times” for the press. The price of type has been ralsed, coal 1s dearer, Inbor has ad- vanced, and ‘hite paper, the leading item in newspaper expehse; his been thrust up 83 to 60 per cent, with threats on the part of the papermaking combination to put !6 higher next spring. Meanwhile, publishers are charging the old price to thelr subscribers and tlidold rhtes fdr advertising; consequently tho whole ndvaiee In the cost of publishing a newspaper falls on the propriutors, who have not felt at liberty to tax back their losses‘on the public. Some of thé newspapers have dropped their, supplements to: reduce ex penses, and a few. have. ventured to raise thetr subscription prices. The St Louis morning papers have advanced their rates from four cents a copy at retail to flye cents, afid by the week have Increased thelr charges « five cents, Papers tn other cities are con- “ tenpinting « reduction In the size of their B 4 ie a sheets whero thelr presses will permit it, In this elty, Tae Dawy Tripuns thas omitted ti part of its supplements, and may have to drop more of them {f the prico of paper 14 keeps on ndvanelng, but will tetaln its 44 old pride. ‘The Timea, ns 2 cholce of evils 4 between a reduction of size and on increase of tates, has advanced its price one cent a dny, retalling hereafter at six cents instead of five, and raising its delivery price to city subscribers five cents per week, charging 30 conts instead of 25, In making the announce- ment of the ailvance, the publishor says that ‘y H ¢ ; etre 3} the cost of printing the Tinea Is nt the rate of a 100,000 per annum more than It was a year ago. Judging froin our own experience, this 34 statement fs not far wide of the truth, All sf the great dailies will be obliged elther to | curtail thelr slzo or increase their price If ny, they would eseape serious loss, Singular as Itanay appenr to the unreflecting render, tho more business booms and priees inflate the worse It {s forthe publishers, Like the fable iri Esop, what is sport to the reader 13 death «to the publisher, Beas Re Feee s : Tux Ion, Joseph Cauchon, Lioutenant- Governor of the Province of Maultoba, was 2 marrled in this elty yesterday to Miss Buna * Te Molne, daughter of Robert Loe Moine, of Ottawa, Can., Clerk of the Dominion Senate. rete Tux Now York “ Scratchers,” whose hos- tility to Cornell In November last would have insured his defeat but for the division in the ranks of the Democracy, huve put themselves on record a8 opposed to the non ination of either Grant or Blaine, A resolue tlon to this effect was adopted Saturday night, ond It looks as though Sherman might have started a boom among the anti-third- term, the anli-Conkling, and the ant!-Blaine elements in Now Yor a) +, Tue Socialists have been successful In cépturing the trades-unton organizations of Chicago and {n converting the proposed dem- obstration of welcome to Purnell Into a po litiea!, affair, © Under the inflamniatory harnngus of Soclalistic Organizer Morgan the workinginen present ot the mecting of ybsterday were Induced to vote ngainst joln- ing in tha general demonstration of sympathy with the suiferings of the Irish people, and to declés upon a separate demonstration whict./shall have o alsthioting Bactalists ebcracter, Mr. Parnell has béen at some palus already to disavow any sympathy with or toleration of Soctalisin, and It remains to be seen whether ho will consent to identity hfinself Inany way with the Communistia crowd In Chicago who are trying to use hin anid hls mission for political purposes, ——__ Tire Blalue men got cleaned out in Pitts burg in the County Convention on Saturday in appolntiug delegutes to the Murrlaburg Convention, When: the vote of Instructlons wits taken Jt resulted: For Grunt, 100; E43.

Dr. Ryder, of St, Paul’s Untyersallst Church, on “The Miraculous or Supernatural In Religion,” being « continuation of Dr. Ryder’s series, “Denials of Rationalism’; a sermon on “Popular Views of Future Punishment,” by the Rey. Mr. Collisson, of the Fullerton Ave- nue Presbyterian Chtirch; and by the Rey, D. 8. Gregory, President of Lake Forest Univer- alls, on "The Gospels: ‘Their Origin and Aint" A misraten from Berlin, which rests on the rathor siim foundation of tho say-so of “an earnest and zealous supporter of tho Government,” states that the proposed in- erense of the German army is only the {n- {tial move fn .9 deeplotd plot against France. According to this person's Idea, tho object of filling the army to a war standard Is to give France notico that the Sovlntists, Nihilists, and other orders whose members are opposed to oxtsting governments have reached such a strength In point of numbers that com- bincd action on the part of European nations is necessnry. Should Franca refuse to co- operate with Germany and Russin, war is to beiectared agalust her by the Inst-named Power. Tho story is a rather fishy one. ‘Tie present state of things in Ireland pre- sents some strange anomalies, Onu-third of the island is fn the Jaws of famine,.and the people of the United States are publicly and privately contributing not less than $100,000 per week to assiuge hunger and prevent starvation to death of the landlords’ tenant farmers, And, while this inflow of American charity Is going on to alleviate distress and avert denth, there Is an outflow per week of one million dollars’ worth of animal and vegetable food of Irish production to pay landlords’ rents on the farms equitably and rightfully belonging to tho occuplets, Tho Trish farmers are actually at this time sellitig million dollars’ worth of food per week to pay stich rents to merciless English Inndlords, while the benevolent pcople of America are sending ‘over. there $100,000 per week to keep these same farmers from evie- tion and out of the poor-house or pauper's graves! Such Is the fand-system of {reland, which the London Times, New York Ierald, and 8t, Louls Globe-Democrat don't see any reason or necessity for touching or reform- ing. Stop this outflow of a million dollars a week of Irish agricultural food products to pay absenteo landlords for the privilege of living In their own country, and the Irlsh peoplo would want ho charity from this or any other country. “They would have money themselves to lend or donate to the needy. ‘Tue presence of Senator Cameron at IWar- risburg fn advance of the assembling of the Republican State Convention, which meets in that city tho dny after to-morrow, ty re- garded as an Indication of Ils purpose to uke a vigorous and determined fight for tho mnintensnee of his contro! over the party nincliluery of hig State, and as showing that he Intends to foree upon the Convention the direct issue of obedience or rebellion, Io atatids pledged that Pennsylvania shall pre- sont the name of Gen. Grant asa Presidon- tinl candidate, and for the first time since he succeeded to the dfotatorship vacated by his father Senator Cameron finds a condition of open and avowed revolt ngalnst his authority to fulfill that pledge. Already several countics have rebelled by Instructing their delegates for Blaine, and it fs yet an open question whether Cameron ean subdue the mecting so far as to secure from the State Convention an unconditiorin! and post- tive instruction for Grant, ‘That it !s his in- tention to demand this Is shown by the fact that as Inte ns last Suturday the Allegheny County Convention at Pittsburg elected a solid Grant delegation, What Cameron mienns to do with Ponnsylyanin's strength at Chiengo after It shall become necessary to drop the Grant movement {ts as yet a matter of uneertalnty, and of deep sollcitude among Blaino's friends in Pennsylvanian, and unless — they shall be able to control the State Convention absolutely, as now scems improbable, thelr cua will of necessity be to avoid the Cameron emnity, and by falling In with the Grant program nt the outset: be in a favorable po- sitionto secure the delegation for Btalne when Grant shall be ho longer pressed. Such Is the altuntion ng viewed in| Phitadel- phta, and there fs Just enough uncertainty re- garding the outcome to invest the State Con- Vention of Wednesday next wilh extraordl- nary interest. Anisparen from Pecrin snys that the Movement In Chiengo (under the adyice of tho Blute Board of Health) to increaso the flow of water through the canal by meuns of pumplog has caused quite a sily In’ that vlty. Says the dispateh: Tho Poorin Bonrd of Health had a meeting to considor tho subject, Letters wore read from up-river puints proposing wu combination to try and stop Chicago sonding her sawnye this way, It fa concoded that Peoria tsust got another place for her wator-supply unless tho sowago from Chicago is atopped." ‘The Peorlans are acting undor a total mia conception of tha Chicago tntention. ‘The canal has been used for twenty yours us tho outlet of the Chicagu Rivor sewage into the MWnols River,—ten years by puinping before tho canal \yas deependd, and ton yanrs sluce then, Aftor the canal was despsned tt car- vied off 80,000 cublo fect per minute of water from the Chicago River, and this so cleansed the fatter that 1t could almost bo used for drinking-water and culinary pur- poses, and by the thine Lt had passed Jollet tt ‘wns 80 oxydizod and, puriied ‘that 1% was clean, and puro, and wholly devold of of- fense to nan or beast, The bad nal atone condition of the water passing out of the canal at Lockport has only occurred since tho canal fulled to carry off mora than a half and somotiines a third of its discharge in 1870-71, What is now proposed in Chicago Is to double and treble the prestut discharge of the canal by means of pumps, and when this’ Je dono the churugter of tho waterdischarged {nto thé Desplalues at Lockport will be {m- proved Jilst Iu proportion to tho increase of, volume, ‘The larger the quoutity of water: passed through the canal the more It will be diluted, oxydized, and qyirified.- If 00,000, cuble feet per minute werg pumped Into the THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, canal the Chicago River would become al- most pure enough for enlinary purposes, and would be full of fish and entirely free of offensive taste, smell, of nppentance, and would be nearly a3 clear and Hmpld_ as the Inke from which tt would be fed. The peo ple of Peorla, instend of opposing the erec- tlon of the proposed pumping-works, shonlt urge Chicago to build and operate them to the full capacity of the canal. “QHERMANIZING THE SOUTH." ~ * President Iayes has always recelved great credit from the American people for the dec- Jaration fn his letter accepting the nomlna- tion for the Presidedey that he would not bo acandidate forretiection. That promise has been regarded a3 an assurance that the Qov- ernment patrounge would not be: manips Inted In the Interest of any succession to the present Administration, But the President's positlon In this matter loses nil Its value if ho Js permitting some one near to him to trafle in Government appointments in order to se cure a following In the next National Repub- Iean Conventlott; such a course 1s just as offensive and immoral ag if President Hayes were to use and abuso the Govermuent patronnge tn his own behalf. ‘Tho rumors that Secretary Sherman $s dic- tating the hestowal of Government favors to advance his Presidential aspirations nro s0 mtmerous and public that itwould be folly to {gnore them, A Washington dispatch to the Journal in this city represents that tho ‘Republicans of Virginin are very much ex. cited ovor the usurpation by the Cetitral Com- mittes of that Stato of powers that right- fully belong ta a popular Convention, ‘Tho Committee has taken upon Itself to appoint delegates to thé. Chicago Convention, and to this end has refused to call a State Conven- tion of the Republican party, The delegates thus arbitrarily selected are favorably to Sherman’s nomination, and itis charged that nearly all the members of the Committec whieh hag assumed this arrogant and wn- warranted power havo been recently ap- pointed by Sherman to Government posi- tlons, Influences of the same kind seem to have been at work in North Caroling and South Caroliun, Shernn ts said to havo obtained contro! of amajority of the Stata Committee In the fermer State; and the Charleston News catd Cotrter, in nn article entitled “ Shermantzing the South,” charges that “all the Government oftelnis in tho State are working together with 0 view to, handing it over to Sherntan,’* and gives a listof the members of the State Committed who have beon provided with offices In that part of the Government service which Is under the control of Seeretary Sherman, If these charges are well founded thoy in- dicate a very disreputable misuse of Govern- ment patronage, and one whith fs utterly at variance with all the pretensions of the pres sent Adininistration in favor of Civil-Serviee reform, ‘Tho abuse fs aggravated by the fact that the Southern Stutes in thelr relation to the Natlonol Convention are merely “rotten boroughs”; they wil send delegntes and perhaps Uctermine the choice of x candidate to whose election they will contribute noth- ing. The Republicans of tha Northern States will bo justified in feeling the Uveliest resentinont to Seeretary Sherman’s manipn- lntion of the Southern delegntes by means of distributing the Exceutive patronage In the Southern Btates to sult his own purpose, When Mr, Sherman admitted hls candidacy sume months ago, he caused to be clreulated an aggurancs that he woul make no use of his position to Improve his chances; if he has violated thls pronitse (which, for the rest, is hnplicd {n his trust), the effect in the end will do him injury instead of helping him. RAILWAY SUPERVISION IN ENGLAND, The subordination of railway corporations to Government supervision has always becn insisted upon by the English Inws. ‘The Rallway and Canal Trafic net of 1854 defined the general principles of reasonuble rates and equal charges and facilities, and gave the Vonrd of Trade and the courts, respectively, the power to enforce these principles, An act was passed {n 1873 amendatory of the act of 1844, “to mnke botter provision for earry- ing into effect the Rallway and ‘Traffic act” by subjecting the corpurations to more direct supervision by Government authority and more explicit accountability to the public. To Insure this a Bonrd of Railway Comints- stoners was appointed. ‘This Board consists of threo Commisslonors, one of whom is re- quired to have experience In law, and another experience In the rajlrond business, whoso sularies are about $15,000 per annum each, There may be nso two Assistant Commis. sioners, upon whom the Board may confer thotr own powers for investigation, anil such secretaries, clerks, necountauts, ete; as may be approved by the T'rensury. Tho Cominis- stoners and thelr subordinates, like other employés In the English Civil Service, hold their offices during good beliavior, Tho Rallway Conmissioners of England are at once a Directory-Boardl and a Court of Arbitration, Thelr powers embrace all the requisits of superyiston and arbitration which Amertean experience ling shown to be neces- sury for the protection of thé public against rallrond extortion and discrimination, ‘the law provides that charges shotl be rensonible for handling and transporting goods; that all reasonable facilities for receiving, forwari- ing, and deliverlng goods shall be furnished the public; and that no company shall give any undue or unreasonable advantage to any particular person or company, nor in favor of any partleular description of traffle. ‘Tho mutes are substantially fixed by the Com- missioners, gluco thelr approval thercof Is necessary, and the Board may establish all through tariffs over connecting routes, and apportion the charges. among the several companies performing the continuous service, A public echiedtule of rates, at all times open to Inspection, 1s required under a heavy pen- nlty for default, and these public rates cannot be changed without the consout of the Com- nilssioners, All “working arrangements” between compantes—t, e.: what Mr. Adame ealls “federation, and what aro generally known tn this country as combinations or pools—must have the approval of the Com- missioners, ‘Lhe Board hos all the powers of a court in, the investigntion of any com- pinints or the adjudication of differences bo- tween corporations, It may require tho at- tendance of witnesses, compel testimony anil: the production of books, punish for con- tenipt, and fssuo {ts orders and decrecs, ‘Thore {s provision for appeal to the Superior Court against the declsion of the Commis. sloners, but the decres of the Commissloners is binding until reversed, In this way speedy fuatice ty afforded the public, which enjoys the benefits of delays and tochnfenlities that are given to the corporations under the Anaortean practice, The Connnissionors may also week the courts on thelr own motion for Instructions upon the polnta and bearings of nny law, Au annual report fs submitted to Varlimuent; {n which the proceedings of the previous year ure recounted and a general showing mudo of the railway business. , ‘ Tho worklng of this, law in England has been beneficial to both the public and the railroads. Why ls It that Amertenn: rall- road mantgers and attorneys antagonize the populardemand tn this country for sulla gupervision on behalf of the people? If combjuation be the true solution of the rall- road problein, and designed to secure a fair upportionment of the businéss and equitable terms to the puulle, why oppose a Govern- ment system which will bring about such FEBRUARY 2, 1880." i combination upon terns of equal Justica to nll? If the profession of tho railroads thnt toy do not deslra to overcharge or diserline inate bo sincere, why refuse to the public a ready and inexpensive way for ontering com- plaints and obtalning redress? It 1s only the long possesston of arbitrary and Irresponsible powers, and the desire to entn excessive dividends upon fictitions stock, that ean necount for the flerce opposition the ratlroads are making to a proposed schema of Govern- ment supervision in this country which ts moro consorvatlye than tho English aystent. lene HOW A_ SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN WAS OGHEATED OUT OF HIS SEAT. Tho story of Jere [aratson, a colored mem- berof the Forty-folirth Congress, aud who was: neandidate on the Republlean ticket at the fast election in tho Alnbama district now rep- resented (?) by the Confederate Brigadier Shelley, who was never elected to his seat, fs ono of the moat forelbly Illustrations yet fur alahed of the Infamous manner Inwhich Re- piblicats have been chented dutof thelr rights Inthe Soll South. Ils meiyorial to Con- aross is the strongest document that has yet been submitted, and the accompanylug proofs of outrage are so overwholuing that the Con- federata Brigndter shoysd be instantiy ex- pelled from the House, Mr, Haralson shows In this memorial tat when the returns were counted a large number of votes were thrown out, so thatthe record stood: Haralson (Rep.), 0,540; Shelley (Dem.), 8,115; and Honry (Gr.), 314, ‘The false clinractor of tho record is shown on {ts face, since tha regis tration of the district shows the whole number of white voters to bo 6,800 and of colored 23,000, Out of show many votes Haralson was cheated it ts impossible to aay without knowing the ex- tentto which Repubtictn voters were bull- dozed out of the right of suifrage, but It ts evident that tf there hinil becn a fair election he would have recelved a majority of several thousand, ‘This, however, is of little conse- quence, for Sholloy appears with a majority | 1,815 larger than the entire registered white vote, which of ilbelf 1s an absurdity, and shows that he was elected to the seat he now occupies by theftand swindling, ‘The infamy did not stop with fraudulent count- Ing and destruction of votes, Shelley used money inacorruptnianner. After ]Taralson, indignant at the {nfamous sinner In which he had been treated, filed a notice of contest, no Justice of the Pence would take the all. dayits of his witnesses, When the Judge of the First Jtdicini Ctreuit st Inst consented to actinthateapnelty, Shelley had thrown ffarnl- son’s witnesses Into jall, and procured un In- dictment against Haralson himself upon a trumped-up charge, Atiast, when the bull- dozers found that he was determined to pur- sue his rights, they walted upon him with arnis {n their hands and ordered hint to leave the State upoh penalty of Instant death, whereupon ho went to Washington. Ife has been cheated out of his election, He has been driven from his home by foree. He has been deprived of all lawful means of estab- lishing his right to his seat, and, ns the freed- mien have been stripped of tholr civil and polltical rights, 1t is impossible for him to get thelr depositions. There was no resource left for him except to memorialize Congress to order ni inyestlgation of all the’ cireum- stances of this {Infamy In order that ho might have the opportunity to prove his right to the seat, and, had It not been for the sense of fairness thot characterized tho rulings of the Speaker, the menidrial Itself would have been suppressed Instead of taking the usual form of reference td the Committes on Elec- tlons, : It 1s, pertinps, too much to hope that the Committee will do justice to Mr. Uaralson in the premises; thateven [fan investigation Is made It will bo anything more than a fare; or oven that, if the Investigntion should show that Shelley had stolen his seat and was never clected to It, 8 Democratic House would compel him to restore {t to Its tighttul owner; but the Infamy remains on record all thesame. It is only one more {In the long list of Sotithorn outrages for which n future reckoning will come, It Is only one more argument that will nrouse the Northorn peo- plenoxt fall to the necessity of revonging such infiuny at the poll: ——{$—_—__— DIRECT IMPORTATION TO WESTERN F. FORTS, Seeretary Sherman says, alluding to tho Aldrich bill on the subject of fmmedinte transportation: “ Any bill that will promote the ready and safe transportation of goods In bond will receive my hearty ald.” ‘Tho dlf- fleulty with this assumed expression of an opinion on the subject of the pending mens- ure fs that it is no opinion atall. Itis the exact counterpart of the opinion of Juck Bunsby in regard to tho milssing ship. In response to the carnest entrenly of Cnpt. Cuttle, Bungby orncularly declared that jf the ship had gone down, then she had gone down; but, If she still flonted, then sho flonted, The presumption that Mr, Sherman would not givahis “hearty aid’? toaproper Dill ts, of course, absurd, Butwhotisa proper bil? , Is the pending bill a proper one? On this point Mr. Sherman says nothing, In saying that he will give his “hearty ald” to “any Dill that will promote tho ready and safo transportation of goods in bond,” Mr. Sherman says nothing pertinent; he begs the question. What the public wishes to know is, whether Mr. Sherman thinks the pending bill a proper one, The public wishes to know whether Mr, Shorman will, a8 Sce- retary of the ‘T'reasury, recommend to Con- gress the pissuge of the pending Dill, aso measure which will “promote the roady and safe transportation of goods in bond.” ‘The reason of tho public anxiety on this subject ts tho fnet that the public Id aware that Mr, Sherman's subordinate, Mr, FH. 3B. James, is hostile to the measure and has not healtated to gay so boldly in a lettor to Congressman Aldrich, Mr. Jnmes’ opinion is nut ntall of the Bunsby order, IIo speaka up very boldly, and proposes to strike out every Sm- portant feature of the bill on the ground of danger tothe revenuc, Now, since Mr, Sherman has given an opinion which is no opinfon at all, ond Mr. Jame: Chict of the Customs Division, hi promulgated a very decided and a very hos- tile opinion, it 1s logical to dssume that Mr. Shorman agrees with Mr. James, and hoiteo that he will permit the entire force of tho Treasury influence to bo thrown against tho passage of the pending bill, We took the liberty a weok ago, In bohnit of iniliions of people who aro interested In the measure, of begging Secretary Sherman to give a fow moments of his time toa per- sopat examination of the questions Involved 1 the Aldrich bill. The passage weliave quoted from u lotter of thi Seuretary {s the only re- sponse to tho uppeal, We do not hesitate to say that it 18 wholly unsatisfactory, It tloes not indicate that Mr. Sherman hos given any attention or thought to the matter; on the contrary, it shows plainly elthor that he !3 opposed to the bill but does not wish to sny so, or, which is far more probable, that he still Joaves tha eubject in the hands and under thecontrolof Mr. James, Now, wo my as well yay frankly that the people of the West have vory little confldence Jn Mr, James, Thoy bellove—whethor justly or not, it 1s not ‘necessary to determine at present—that tholr interests, when in contilet with those of the people of tho East, are not safe Jn the hands of Mr, James, -It is well known that fn dotalls of measures affecting the yovenue or the collection of It the influ- ones of the ‘Treasury Department and Con- gross ts considernbte, The people of the West object to this influences belng wielded tn tho present Instance by Mr. dames, of whioao hostility toward them and thelr commorcial interests they have no doubt. They have no fenr in Intrusting their interests to Mr. Sher- man, They velleva that he will arrive nt just conclustons if he will but glve atten- tlon to the matter. But whatevor those con- clusions may be, the people of the West de- sire to know them, ‘They care nothing for the opposition of Mr. James as an individunl, butobject to his boing allowed to wield the influence of the Trensury Department. Hence thoy ask, In all fatrness, that Mr. Sherman shall put timself on record elther for or against the bill, iu which the entire West fs interested,—dveply interested, —— eee Tue four grent Enstern cities, New York, Hoaton, PAlladelphia, and Daltimore, practically monopolize tho forelgn commotco of the United Btatos, Tho Cities of Now Orleans, Charleston, nnd Galveston ship some grain and cotton, bit tholr trade [s tnalgntiteant when compared with the elttes above named, ‘The Phitndelphia Presa collects tho figures reprosonting tho value of the oxports and imports during the yonr 1879, which show thotmportance of our foreign business.
