The proposition which has been pending beforg the Scnate several days to voto on the ocean mail subsidy of $1,000,000 for- tho next fiseat year met with a defeat at tho closo of yesterday's sessfon which was ns unex- peeted, summary, anderushing as that which attended the Eads Ship-Canal bIll In the Honse on Saturdny, The subject eame upln the form of an amendment offered by tho Post-Oftlce Committee to the general Postal Appropriation bill, ‘The amendment was a4 follows: For aildittonal postal service to forelgn coun- tries, $1,000,000, to he expended undor tho diree- tion of tho Pustumstor-Goneral in the establlst- mentof mail steamship ncs, equitably distribe uted among the Atlantie, Moxican, Gulf, and Puclic poris; provided, that the vesscls em- ploged tor such service shall e owned nud manned by Amersenn cftizens, and thut said veasels thirs employed shall bo Iron stenmsiips neeepted Dy tho Feurvtary of the Navy, after dite Insnection, as in all respeets senworthy and properly fitted for such service, The Itonch lobby started out early in the sesslon to secure the passage of n separnto and regular subskly bill, but found so much opposition in the House that it contented itself finally with the comparativety smnil allowance contemplated in the above scetlon, and hoped to secure its passnge In tho covert shape of a **rider” on an appropriation bill, aud under the pretense of additlonal and needed ocean mall service, Mr. John Roneh wna at the Capltol in person yesterday direet- ngz Iiis forces, but was unable o saveeven this much of o gratudly from the publie condemnation that hos nwalted it The matter was finally disposed of by laying it on tho table, whero It will remain, This result was unexpected, When the amendment was fivst proposed the polnt was made that it was out of order, beeause o rule of the Senate forbids general legislation tn connection with genernl appro- printion bills, ('T'he Présldent of the Sennte lield the subsidy mnendment to be excluded under this rule, ns it certainly ought to have buen, but the Senate overruled him by n voty of 2 to 15 ‘Fhis vote indlented that the project hnd great strength In the Scoate, esprefally ns shnflar. measures had been adoptedd by the same body In former Congresses, in whieh the Ilonse of Representatives refused to concur, Durlne Snturday and yesterday alf proposed umendments to the subsidy measure which were ealeulated to welgh it down were promptly rejected ag Irregular, though they webe® nol mors so than the ovligiunl propositlon ; and onee; earlier in the day, the Senate refused to table tho matter. Ilence it was suppnsed that the seheme had a falr change to succeed In theSenatent least,—and it I8 probuble that tho final defeat was the re- sult of yesterday's debate. “The debate during the day was confined nl- tost entlrely to the Democratic side, The princlpal supporters of the mueasure were Morgan of Alubamn and Mnxey of Texay, Pugh and othiers originally in favor of ithad alrendy become disgusted with the persistent refusal to.extend the benefits of the propusi- tion to forelin-bmilt steamers. purchused by Amerleans. The nggressive opponents of the measurc were Messrs, Bayard, Whyte, and Beek, thongh muny of the Republicans did good service In agsisting to vote down the proposition when the trinl of strength ‘cume. The fuet Is that the proposition conld not stand the foree of honest criticism, Messrs, Morgan and Muxey sought {n vain to givo the proposition the aspect ot n general purpose to entarge the foreign mail facilities, ,which ave nirendy ample, und tho cost of which for the next fiseal year was esthnnted Dby tho Postmaster-General at 825,000, Thelr effort to galn tho sympathy amd support of thoss In favor of free ships was equally futhle, beenuse thelr position was clearly un- tenuble when they meintained that the terms of the above amendment would enuble Amerieans to purchnse and reglster forelan- bullt vessels. It was preposterous to ns- sumg that an irregular nmendment to an appropriation LI would be con- strved to overridy the. regularly-vonstl- tuted navigatlon Jaws, and particulavly 1 view of tho fact that proposed amendinents tothat end were repeatedly rejected, The purpose was to ereate certnin ocenn “star routes”" under sueh conditions that ons ov two favored concerns would reeeive ull the benelits of the subsluy, ‘This fact was too notorious to be obseured by any Ingenulty of lunguage, ‘The uctive opponents of the measure dealt body blows to the whole prineiplo tnderying it, - Mr, Bayard stated the cnse very plainly when ho pointed out thatit American eapital inthe present plethorie condition of the money market dectines to go Into the shipbuilding business or earrylug trade, It 1s beenuse such inyestment Is unprofitable, It such invest- ment be unprofituble in o general revival of business and Industry, the conditlon is due to special dopresslon, Tho fuet 13, that ship- bullding and the careying trade ln the hands of Amerleans are parulyzed by exeessive tax- atlon and prohibitory leglsintion? fs it rea- sonable to suppose, then, that rellef may be found by inerensing tho burdens ot taxation, which must Inevitably follow any subsidy polley? That atates the ense In a nutshell, It 15 possible, however, that the specel of Mr. Beck did more to defeut tho proposition than anything else, and in this his telling facts and figures probably did not exerelso as wueh influence us the slugle statement In regard to the final disposition of the proposed subsidy, 1le showed that under the terms of tho proposed subsidy the bulk of the money wounld by divided between the loach.

The struggle was malnly wmong .the Demoerats toward the lnst, aml the vote on Dboth sides shaws moro of thom than of the Republicans, Of the latter whovoted ugninst smothering tho project the wmnjority were from New England, who regard It as their duty to sustaln any measure which diveetly or Indirectly promises to promote shipbuilil- tng 1n any way except by making that indus- try free. Three Western lepublican Ben- ntors, however, wore found on the sub- sidy side—vlz: Ferry, Paddock, and Windom. One, of these hus alrendy been defeated for reflectlon, and the others iy §n some other way be called to necount for their appurent willingness to vole awuy the peaple’s money for ocenn subsidies. The Ttepubllean Senators who voted to kil the measure were Messrs, Alllson, Caweron (Wircansing, Booth, Ingalls, Logan, Morrill, und Edmunids, and a large number of others would have voted with them had they been present or not been patred. Judge Davis, of course, voted nrainst the ineasure, I 1y diftlcult to cancedva that any wen would support sueh a measure as this under the honest conviction that It fs desizned, when extended further, ns would be neces sary to mako It practlenl, to promote elther the' shipbuilding interest ov the earrying trade of Ametlea, Subsidies might he pited up in milllons, and yet would fall to out- welgh tho burdens of tasatlon and prohibl- tlon, The true solution of the problem, how to restore Ameriean ships and Awerlean commerce to its former huportanco on the high seas, 1s 80 elear that he who runs may read, The experience of other nations as well ns our own lws mude it plain. Lot men buy ships where they ean buy chenpest, instend of conipelling them to pay 50 per cent moto to Amerlenn buikders than they would pay to forelgn builders, 'Ihis common privilegy once ese tablished, American shipbuitders would soon be plaeed upon the plane of competition by the free admission of their raw material, and would no longer bu under the neeessity of segking prohibitory protection or charging unreasonnble prices for their manufactures, Follow this up with reasonnble and uniform rates of, registration, equal advantuges with othier countries Iu the Custom-Tlouse regula- tlons, nnd fair rates of taxation on intports, and no subsidles will bo needed or nsked. Under such conditions the Amerlean merehant marlne will goon outstrip any other in tha world, as it formerly did. Re- tain the presont poliey of taxation nnd re- pression, and subsldies will only be anin- crense of burden upon the producers and the shinpers, without compensation throngh the improved condition of anyother class, Sub- sldy Is n snare and o delusion which has Dbeen exposed too often to admit sincere mis- apprehension. Aud 1t is a sorry comment upon Democratle intelllgence vr Democratic sincerity when many of the leading men of that party, still proteating thelr devotion to the prineiple of free ships, Jolu fn un cffort to substitute subsldy ng n remedy under the disgmise of “additional postal servico to foreign countries,””—n service that s already adequate and satisfactory. FPERNANDO W00D DEAD. Fernando Wood, whose nume has been familiar to tho, country for forty years, dled on Sunday at the Hot Springs in Arkansas 11is position in the political history of the country has been remarkuble, if not to some extent pecultar, That he was o man of grent force, and of that kind of ability of which energy and perseverance ure the great con- stituents, Is evidenced by his success in busi- ness, in polltles, and by the comparative tranquillity which marked the later years of hisofficlal life. Tlo was born in Philadel- phla, and, though we havd no details of hls enrly life, the inferemces ave that e, as well as his brothers, was of fthat netive and ardent temperament which wade the restraints and clreumspection of his Quaker purents and home scem irk- some, and finally unendurable. When n mere lnd he went o New York, where, after learning the trade of a clzarmaker, he ob- talned mereantile employment, and finally beeamg o shipping merchant, and made a libernl fortune. 1o soun entered polities, Ifo wns identi- fled with the old ruling factions of the Demo- eratie party, and the Volunteer Flro Depart- ment afforded him, us it did a long line of New York'City celebritles, the facilitles of politieal prominence. As lonz ngo us 184l he wns elected to Congress from Now York City, The Legisinture had provided that all tho clty members, four In number, should be elected on n general ticket and fn ono disteiet. Wood and nls followers were essen- il to party sucedss, and ho, then less than 50 years old, wus put on the Demovratie ticket and cleeted with the others, and served one tern, 2 Ilig early public life was not a pleasant one. e was not permitted to enjoy s prominence without disturbanee, The his- tory of Mr, Wood during all these years was oneof fierco political and personal contentlou, As a boss he was tutlously assailed, and the papers of that thne and the records of the Criminal Courts gave evldence of the per- sounl hintred and dutestation with which his rule as boss was resented, 1Hs noue was assactated with every kind of personul and politienl Infamy, aud it requived a man of strong fuith it himself and strong powers of enduranes to live through those years of op- position and denunelation. ¥inally, In 1854, durlng the Know-Nothingexeltement, hoivag clected Mayor of New York City, there belug four candidntes, There were those who had untleipated the worst consequences from his lection to that oflies beeause of his fast nsso- clations, buthie disappointed friends and foes allke, 1o mnde o vigorous Mayor, reformed nany abuses, ind, i muny respeets, mnde an uble Exeeutive. 1lo was subsequently re- cloeted, but was defeated fn 1857, In 1860 o was agafn elected, and served untit the eloso of 18302 Having been vlected to Congvess in 1862, he has served In Congress from that to the present time. Whatever may havo been MMr. Wood’s fuults in the eariler dnys of his commereial and politieal life, with the date of hls elee- tlon ns Mayor of New York he nppears ina new life. flo was n monof strong feelings and of bitter prejudices. 1o was Mayor of New York when the Southorn Statey en- neted thele ordinances of secesslon, and, sharing the strong fecling which prevalled 10 some extent In the cumumoreln! clreles of New York City at that time, he was weak enongh to express sympathy In the Southern eanse, and “to suggest that New York Clty might separate froh the rest of the State and becomo o free, or at least an indepondent, political corporation. *Of s, however, ho subsequently repented, Inciuding his first tern In Congress, he was nbout twenty years in the National councils. It s truo that during the zreater part of that tiwe hoe was in the minority, but, manking all'ullowances for this fact, his presy once In the halls of legislation had no visi- Dble fnfinenco on publie affalrs. ‘The vigorof | Nis enrly lifo contending agalust many yeurs of personal obluquy, seemed to havo departed with s success in polities. Ho was nil his fifa Iu possession of immenso wealth, and it 14 porhaps well known that It wis due to the freo expenditure of this money that ho was Inclebted during s many years for his nom- Inations and elections to Congress. We nre not uwnre that ho ever origlnated v publle measure, or that he ever fdentified himself H0 far with any question as to win any eredit for hissuppert of §t. As a statesmun, con- sldoring his long sorvice and his countless opportunities, it can hapdly be clalmed for I that hio was n suceess, Mr, Wood, during tho last four years, has been Chalvman of the Committeo of Ways and Means of the Jfouse of Representatives, and during that thoe reported on one ve- caslon o LIl rovising the tariff: buteven this hodul not press, but permitted to Mo dead oit tho tablo without an cffort to even ask a vote un It Sliee he attabned years, o cultivated his personal appearance, and to the stranger visiting the ‘' House was con- splcuous for bis neatness and tho dignity of his appearance. Ho rarcly ever mude a speech. Jibs Interconrso with members was of tho most geninl character, and, keeplng houss In Washington City, he was noted for the lavish hospitality which he dispensed. Mr. Wood was bred politicully In the samg school which furnished the conntry with ‘Cweed, Ilirsm Walbrldge, Dan Sickles, Mike Walsh. Ben Woud. and Johu Kelly to Congressand to the politics of tho country menerally. Al theso men Iy thelr timo mado thelr mark, and thelr records avs such as they mado for themselves. 'Thg viost of them began b the lowest font of tho lndder, aud thelr ascent was marked by the exultant chieors of friends nmd excerations of foes. Some of these have passed nway, and now the venerable Fernando Wood, full of years, after o tranquil and somewhnt monotonous servico In Congress of twenty years, has closed 8 Hto which, however turbulent and tampestuons fn It beginning, ends with that peace and goneral respect to obtain which seemed for many years to have buen the full measure of his ambition, Last Novomber he was elected for tho term which beglns on March 4 next. Inconse- quence of 1li-health he recently left Wash- ngzton for the Tlot Springs, in Arkansas, and died there on Sunday nfternoon, at the age of 68 years and 8 wonths. e was aceom- punled to the Springs by at least one of his daughters, who, since her stay there, met with a serfous injury by the kick of a horse, AMr. Wuood has always been n wan of much wenlth and of (foeral expenditure, CONDITION OF CONGRESSIONAL BUSIN ES8. “I'ie Democrats will hnve little to show for their two years' control of both Houses of Congress which comes to a elose two weeks from next Friday, 'Tley wasted thelr first— the extra—sesslon In n frultless nttempt to coerce an nbandomnent of the Natiouat Election lnws, which only led to the ropudin- tlon of thelv party In the Stateclections which followed, ‘They renewed this effort fn o feeble nnd vaclllating way at thedr first regu- Inr session, and dragged through the entire winter with vaporing discussions which were partly dilatory In purpese, partly incompetent, without design, atid wholly unproductive of useful legislation. They started in upon the present short session after they had been completely routed in an appeal to the coun- try, nud when they were fully aware that their time for work was limited; yet thelr very first movement was In the dircction of o needless, unsatisfactory, and unfair rule for counting the Electoral vote, which they could not conmand the necessary mnjority to pass. They seemed to be entirely con- tent, however, to consume time without accomplishing anything, They scemed to seek excuses and Invent expedients for wasting thne until the holiday vacation was at hand. ‘Thelr consideration of the Ite- funding Wit served only to develop bicker- ngs and vagarles, and resulted In an agree- ment upon o measure which, ns it passed from thelr hands, was so impractienble as to endanger the success of the vroject. Thelr courso all nlong has been vaclllating and without method, aud they nro now In g situn- tlon where they will find it difllenlt to pass even tho routine legislation and that which is actually necessary to avold an extra session. The time consumed thus far has been by no menns devoted to earnest con- siderntion of the appropriation Dbills with a view to economy, ‘nor yet to any re- duction or revision of-taxatior. The Demo- crats seem to have abandoned even the pre- tenso of ceonomy which they boasted of for a time, and have as a rule rushed through the Htouse without analysis or eriticlsm the enormous approprintions that have ulready been agreed upon. The tendency in the Sennte has been toInerense theexpendituves, ns I tho cuse of tho proposed addi-' tion of $1,000,000 subsidy to the Pest- Oniee Approprintion bill, 1f there has been delny 111 the considerntion of the River and Ilarbor Dbifl, it barely failed of the necessury vote to prss undera suspension, of the rules, and erlticism and, abjeetlon arose mainly from those who have been negleeted in tho distributlon of bene- fits, ‘There remnin four approprintion hills to bo disposed of in the ITouse—viz, : the River and Harbor, Sundry Civil, Agrieultural, and Genernl Deficlency bills, Agreement be- tween the Sennte and 1ouse remafns to be adjusted on these and still others, The Sen- ate is slothiful and ‘Innetive.

But ho gave the whole eredit of the cumualgn in Indlung to Mr, Dursey, suylng: My, Dorsoy, with his matchiess skill, cool head, and woiderful courzgke, was uble (o save 1ok urely Tudiatn, aud throtigh it tho Stato of Now Yuri, but tiio Nution. {Loud applunse and heera) Sumo ullownuees must be mado for the vinous excitement of the veeasion, the strain of compHnent usial at such thues, the high spivits of the company, the sthmulating ef- feet of the champngnes and clurels on the Imaginations of the speakers, and other sueh influciees; but when all these cirenmstances have been tuken anto the uccount, it 1s difli- cult to ucquit them of some partlality for My, Dorsey and exuggevntion of his serviees to the country. ‘Uhe business ot “saying In- dlana” hns been porlodically undertakenand perforiped by oneparty or the other since the sear 1840, bue we hove uever known the gole eredit for the achievement to bo glven before to any one person, Indeed, It 1s doubtful whether uny class of ellizens will bo move, surprised by the uews that Indiana was " saved” by Stephen 1, Dorsey than the inhiabitants of that Stato themselves, who aro now for tho first time informed that they were suntched 1ike so many brands from tho burning by n former Senator from Arkansas, In tho West, wheve some slight attentlon hing been given to llil"I\IIK_I, 1t hns been as- sumed that the Stato was “saved,” prl- marlly, by the oxertlons of some 231,405 of ils nost entightened eitizens, who went to the polls I October and voted for Albert G, Tor- tor for Governor, 1t will be news to most of these citizens that Mr. Dorsoy ** saved them”; thnt s persunstve eloquence tnduced thom to votaas they hiad not intended to' do; or that his presence radiated an Influenco that changed the Intentions even of a number of votors equal to the Republiean majority. Up to this time thoy hava been of the opinlon that the vietory was due to n strong ticket anl platform, and a perfect organiza- tlon in thelr own rauks, which Mr. Dorsey did not produce; to the infamous dectsions of the Supreme Conrt, made hefore Mr, Dor- sey was clected Secretary of tha Committeo; 4 tho high character and great personal pop- ularity of their enndidate for the Presidency, who borrowed no reputation from Mr. Dor- sey, ns the latter had nono to spare; nnd to the general cussedness of the **Solld South,” which has been convicted of unrensonable luwlesness only since Mr. Dorsoy ceased to represont a portion of it in the United States Seunte. 1 When it comes to thedistribution of honors among indlviduals, the name of Mr. Dorsoy 13 not that which first sugaests itseif to tho people of Indinna. ‘They remember that the orgunization of the Republican party in the State had been begun tn January preceding the clection, longbefore the National Conven- tion met In Chieago. ‘Thellon. John C. New and Marshall Dudley, of Indinnapolts, did the chief part of that work, and the result showed how thoroughly it was done, ‘The Stato -was good for o Itepublican ma- jorlty any time after the Chiengo nomina- tions were made, provided an honest and fair vote conld be sceunred; and It was the Re- publican organization in Indiann, not Mr. Dorsey, which patrollcd the borders of the State, rogistered suspiclous immigrants, and took measures to provent repeating and il- legal voting. ‘I'he State was visited by many strong and powerful speakers, of wlhiom Mr. Dorsey was not one, Mr, Dorsey did not overstate the truth when he said that Gen. Grants speech ut Warren, 0., did more to carry In- diana than ait of his own elforts did. Ben- ator Conkling’s speeches also had » power- ful Influence; so did those of Mr. Blaine and Gen. Ben, Harrison, who stumped the State from end to cud, and whoso groat services have atready been recognized und rewarded by an eleetlon to the United States Senate. ‘Fhie Nepubllcan press of Chlengo and Cin- cinuatl contributed not a ltte to the victory by disseminating doeumentary matter and speeches, nud pouring daily broadsides of faet and argument and other hot shot Into the cuemy, Mr, Dorsey enme to Indiana comparatively. nteIn the dayns the bearer of tundscon- tributed by others in New York, Boston, and Chicago, It cannot bu doubted that he dis- trlbuted the money judlelously and legiti- mately to prevent frauds, pay the expenses of meetings, ,and for poil-challengers, aud other legitimato purposes. But he did not’ “save” Indinnn any more than the persons who guve the money did. It 1s an Injustice to Mr. Dorsey himself, as well as to the local manngers of the campaign, the speakers from abrond, and the £32,000 Republieans hu Indlann, to assume that the State was either carrled or “saved” by him, or that the result would have been materinlly different if lio had never existed. Indinns was bound to vote for Garfleld, It was so written In the book of fate, and nothing could stop her. . REGULATING SLEEPING-UAR FARES, “The perfodical agltation of the sleoplng-car question began early In Springfield this ses- slon, and promises to continue for n consld- erablo thne, "The erratic Merritt introduced tho first bill on the subject into the Sennte, but It hay beon alrendy reported on adverse- ly. Another measuro of tho same kind is vending in tho House, These and all other provositions to regulnto the eharges of sluep- mg-cur companies bear n remarkable likeness to each other. ‘Ihoy avo put forth ostensibly ns mensures of protection for the defense- less and suilerlng public, but cynical people do not hesitate to afirm that they aro mere dovoys, intended to give thelr authors a lit- tle cheap notorloty asantl-monopolists, whilo they slgnify to the compnules that thero is somcbody at Springficlt waiting to be “seent? "I'io bill under conslderation in the 1ouso fixes tho prico for u lower berth at SLGO for ench twenty-four lours, and for an upper berth nt $1 for the same perlod. At theso rates n lower berth would yleid about one- thivd and an upper berth one-quarter as much ns ot present, It does mnot re- quire any argument to show that the effect ot such a reduction would nevitably be to drive the companies out of the State, or to diminish the quality of accommodation fur- nished by them, Yor there Is no evidenco whatever that any company has been muking a regulnr profit of 75 per cont on 1ts gross re- celpts, us would be the cassif it could sub- mit to such r reductlon as that proposed and “continuo to do business at a profit, Leglslative regulation of sleeping-car fares cunnot be justified on tho ground that they hold the same telations to the publie as the rallrond companies do, ‘The purpose, busi- ness, and legal status of the two kinds of eorporations nre widely different. 'Lhe rail- roud company Is a common carrlery tho sleoping-ear compwiy Is not. ‘The former exerelses an exclusive privilege of a public nuture; the latter does not. One purveys a neeessity, the other s convenlence. Thatls to say, the people do not comnionly have the ontlon whether thoy shall uso the rail- ronsl or not; but thoy nre always at Jib- erty te travel without taking o’ sleep- ing-car, ‘The rallrond acquires Its rights by the exoreiss of eminent domain, but tho sleoptng-car company by shuplo lense, No possible construction of tho duties of rat- road companles requires thom to furnish sleeping uccommodations o passengers, ey wre bomund vuly te curry persons with rensonable speed, safoty, angd comnfort from point to polnt, nt & fair price, ‘Tho sleoping- car compuny has notning to do with the transportation, but everything to do with an exten convenlence which It offera the public —nunely: nplaco to sloep tn while In transit. ‘here Is no essentinl difforence betweon n sleoping-car and & hotel or lod ging-house, ‘Iho fact that one hns whoeels under it while the other hus not is mmaterial, The travel- fug public demands something more than the raflrouds will or ean properly furnlsh, and obtatns it from another corporation, That is all there Is to tho transaction, Now, It Is elenr thatin tho case of ordinary lodging - houses the nccommodations furnished we nccordlng to tho prico paid for them, 1f o mun takes & fourposter in & corner room on the parlor-floor of n fiest-cluss hotel, ho has to pay for it at the rato of §3 a night, whereas ho can got o bunk under a sidewalk on p disreputable streot for 10 centa, 1t is equally clear that the quality of service on p sleeplng-car must vaty with tho price paid for it. 'The publle demand from the sleeping-car company large doublo berths, perfect cleaniiness; polito and trustworthy attendants, fitto take charge of waomen and ehildren traveling alone; smooth- Iy-running and strongly-buflt ears) safety- couplings and bumpers, and ali modern - provements nnd convenlences. 'The ears are builtto hold but tweuty-four persons al the utmost, while ordinary cars seat from H0 to 00, ‘Cho slecpers hinva twico ns many wheels and springs and double the welght .and strength of a common day-car. ence they keep the track In niost cases of collision, and itis a common thing to read in reports of aceldents, **No porson was hurt In the Pull- mans or Wagners,” A first-class sleeper costs 818,000 or $20,000, and s average life is elght years, whoreas the conmon passenger car costs but one-fourth or one-fifth as mueh, il Insts as long. The public cannot travel In such carsns tho Pullman or Wagner Company furnishes without paylng for It., 1t lower rates are enforced by law new cars would unquestion- ably b put on, and they would have half as many wheels and springs, and less than halt .the power of resistance, or tha weight, or the sinoothness and safety, of tho cars now In uge. In place of iwo attendants thoy might have one or o fraction of one, as n singly porter might be required to tuke chnrge of several curs, ‘I'ho bed-linun might bo washed cvery other trip Instead of after each omne. There wouli be no carpets or looking- glnsses, soap ar towels, or dressing-rooms. ‘T'he low prices would make tho patronnge more promiscuous. The smoking-room erowd waould comein. Thore would be no Jonger tho least privacy or safety for women and children traveling alone, It wonld bo a mere question of time when the slesping-cars by reason of filth and vermin should be moro objectionnble than the old style of day-car for night travel. Tho proposition Is simply that the ronds should bo compelled to put on second-cluss sleeping-cars, But why should a require- ment of this sort bo coupled with,r pronibi- tion of the first-class enrs® If any person or nssoclation feels disposed to make tho ox- perliment of running the cheap cars let tho compnnles be required to furnish them witit transportation, but it would bo the ox- treme of hardship to the publle, which i3 satisfied with tho present servico and is will- ing to pny for it, to bo deprived of that privilege andbe compelled to put up with In- ferior nccommodations. THE CABINET SCRAMBLE. Tho scramble for Cablnet positions is o queer development of Amerlean politics. Scores of men unknown porsonally to Gen, Gaslield (who knows everybody In publiclife worth knowling), unknown to the public gonerally, unknown to everybody beyond the limits of thelr own Immediate nelghbor- hood,—scores, yes hundreds, of nobodles elbow and shoulder each other, pressing for- ward to catch tho eye and enr bf the Presi- dent-cleet, and screant bn chorus: * Makeme ‘your confidentinl, constitutional adviser— please!” They will all deny it when rallied on the subject, and solemnly assure you that they liave no wish in the matter but to serve their country! Then thoy will hold you by the buiton to impart, confidentlally, the por- tentous fact that their appointment is belng urged by frlends. AndIn ning cnsesout of ten this menns that they have solleited thelr riends to become oflice-bepgars in thelr be- half, : A \Washington correspondent folicltates the country upon the probability of the early pas- sage of the measure giving Cablnet Minis- ters seats In Congress. 1o snys Gen. Gar- field Is in favor of it, and he thiuks he will De careful not to nppoint as o member of hiy Cabinet any mun incapablo of holding his own against all comers In Congress, But It lins been given out that in tho formation of the Cnbinet both locality and factlon arc to bo recognized asexisting facts and taken Into account, Of course, it almost necessarily fol- lows, if such is the case, that brains and fit- ness must be left out, Ten to one, if Gen, Garfield conslders the geography of the country and the factional divisions of the party In the formation of his Cabinet, its members will do his Administration very littlo credit on the floor of Congress In tho event of the passnge of tho Pendleton ox any Dbill giving them seats there. ‘I'ho custom, grown up in tho last few years, of badgering and pestoring tho Presl- dent about his Cabinet is a perniclous one. Any man half fit' to e President Ia ontirely fit to choose his own Cabinet; and the per- sistent efforts of ull the big and little poli- ticlans In the Republican party to forco little men futo Gen, Garlleld’s Cabinet woitld be an {uputation ngainst his common sense were It not for the fact that thoy are the mere continuntion of a ridiculous politieal cus- tom, It often said, and by politiclans too, that no man In tho country Is so well fitted by political culturs and publie oxperionce of men and things to be Presldent as Gen. Gurfleld. 1t follows then, of course, that no man s so well fitted to choose o good Cabl- net. But, all the swme, hundrods of poli- ticlans Inferlor to “him In culture and expe- rienco are making pilgrimages to Mentor to Instruct the Presidont-elect in the very lirst act ot his officlal career. It Is by no means probabla that the passage of the Pundleton bill would diminish the numbor ot uspirants for Cabinet positions. ‘I'ho average Ameriean citizen believes him- selt capablo of filling nny and overy position ncceptably; and thoso who push lncompe- tonts for high positlons don’t care, often, whether they (i1l thom creditably or not. Too often they push them becauso thoy want to use them for dishonorable purposes; and In such cnses the weaker thoy are morally and intellectunily the morg sorviceable they nre likely to be to thelr masters, But, whenever Cabinet Ministers shall be required by law to oxpound Adminlstration policles and an. swer questions on the floor of Congress, the President will bo put upon his honor to seo that ho Is not répresented, ov rathor mis- represented, by efther lttlomon or * erooked " men, Tho success or faifure of his Adminls- teatlon will then manifestly depend largely upon tho character, ability, and public expe- rlenco of tho membors of his Cabinet, Called upon to fuco frionds jealous of tho famoe and honor of the party ho represents, and eno- mies seoking to destroy it, the little incompe- tent Cabinet Minister wounld cut asorry flgure indeed on tho floor of Cougross. With a weak Cabinet the Adwminlstratlon wonld be in constant, lmmifent danger of disgrace. ''here Is no way to prevent rogues and in- computents tronvsceking all sorts of elective oftiees, But manifestly thore is o way to head off the nobodies who try, every four years, to folst thomselves Into Cabinet posi- tlons to tho annoyance of the Presldent and the scandal of his party.
