VAN ZANDT, a former Lieu- fonant-Governor of Rhode Island, 1s likely tw ho the successor of Nelson W. Aldrich in the Lower House of Congress, Mr. Van Zant will be remembered for the very de- elded stand which he took, unfortunately on the wrong side, when the wait rile was under consideration in the Clneinnatt Con- vention of 1876. He was so much opposed to Blaine that he permitted lis hostility to blind him to the real merits of the case. Ho Went so far ns to intiniate that he would not: support Blaine if he should be nominated, For all, he proved on that oceasion that he wasaplneky and vigorous speakor, and he would be u real accession to the Republican side in the House. —_ ‘Tun party of Vou Steubens, who caine to Atuerica na tho Nation's guests at the York- town Centonninl, arrived in Chicago, yester- day nfternoon from St. Lois, In charge of Messrs.

It Is not pretended, however, that the same pre- occupation extended to Senator Logan In urging the nomlnation of Beveridge, nud It is believed that Cot, Lugersoll, Mr, Blatne, and others, when they heard ot the change, were not absent-ninded, We shall not be sur- prised to hear of other changes of the same kind In tho next few months; and, however nich the Presidont may be engrossed by the cares of State, he is not likely to goso far wool-gathering that he will turn any third: ferm Stalwart out of office and put a Blaine nian In his place, The excuse offered for dismissing Gllbert—that It was suddenly dis- covered hls commission was avout to expire and nn appointment had to be made on the instant—is very frivolous, * Tt might bo a rea- son for reappointing the Incumbent, at lenst tentpornrllys; but It was no reason for pro- Jecting Mr. Beverilze out of space Into the Sub-Troasury, . Ayre explaining the features of his Na- flonal coercive tectotat constitutional amend- ment to the Judics of Washington, Senator Waly, of New Hatnpshire, was appropriately presented with ‘a oral pillow.” Whether this charming tribute of feminine apprecia- tion was designed to typify the provable fate of the Dill or of its nuthar the report does not stafe, Butttinay be fatutly imagined that Ry Van Whikte himself had not so much eed of n pillow as the teetatal constitutional amendiunent Is ikely soon to have. ‘The ob- Jeetion to coercive teetutalism increases in proportion to the area upon which it Is in- tented to Impose the prohibition, A Nu tlonnl ainendniont of the kind proposed by Senator Blatr, taking no account of tho divergent feellngs nnd habits of wliely-sep- arated communities, would haye no chance of passing, or of being enforced If It should pass. ‘The assent of two-thirds of Congress Isnecessary to the submission of such an amendment to the Stutes, three-quarters of which must ratify It before It ean become a part of the Constitution. Wouldn't it be reasonable and just for Senator Blair to walt until three-fourths of the States have sepn- rately and spontaneously adopted coorelyo teetotal lows bofore submitting such un amendmeut of the National Constitution to thom for approval? . Mr. Kassos, of Jowa, is sald to be gain- ing strength In the canvass for the Speaker- ship; and it will not be surprising if, by the time Congress meets, he shall have secured aclear majority over his compotitors. None of them has all the quatitications and claims to the office that he possusses, Mr, Hiscock, of New York, had made somo headway, but his chances haye been injured by the prom- inoneo lately given to New York in National politics. Thero fs 9 natural feeling that Now York onght to bo satlsfed for the present with the Preatdent, two imembors of the Cubluct ex oficto and two othors ex grata, the Minister tu Franco, and a proportionate number of subordinate oflloluls, Mr. Mla cock hitmsclf Is sald to be consclous of the objection to him on the score of locality ulone, and to havo admitted freely its great weight, Some of the other candidates are compuratlyely new inen, and have never served in Congress when It had w Repub- Hean majority, nor even been consplouous {n the niluority from their plucey on the committees, ‘Che Speaker ought to be a juan who fs familar not only with the usages of Congress but with the responsibilities of a majority, Mr. Kasson has Id preelsely this range of experience.

We priut this morning an interesting let- ler from Mr. E. TD. Ripley, General Agent of the Burllugton & Quincy Railroad, In reply to certain comments made by Tire Trmunxn upon the schedule of “maximum rites” re- cently proelaimed by the Bonrd of Railrond Commissioners of Ilinots, Certain points made by Mr. Riptey ealt for n notice on our part. He is certatnly correct, In assumlug that Tk ‘trmune has not considered this schedule from any point of hostility to the railroads, We have treated it altogether as the work of the offtcinl authority of Mlnols, jnehtding In that classification the Conmuis- sloners whose names are attached to It, the Governor who appointed, and the State § ate who consented to the appointment of {hese Commisstoners afler thelr {gnoranco and neglect ihrough years of service had been confessed and made a matter of record, We diseussed this matter as the oflicial act of public officers nppoluted to perform the most important duties Intrusted to any per- sons under the Constitution of this State. ‘These men are salaried officers of the State, whose conduct in office isn fit aud proper subject of discussion. It Is cluimed by Mr, Ripley that because Tur TRUNK compared the rates of the schedule of 1881 with the schedule of 1873 therefore Tire Trinune has assumed that the sehedulo of 1873 “ was a just and benefi- cent’ one. Tus Trmunstook tho schedule of 1873 simply because there was no other that could be used for comparison, It had been a law of the State for elght years, ‘The Nallrond Commisstoners, though empowered atany thne to Issue a now one, had con- tinued it In force, ‘ho Governor of tho State, who ought to haya some knowledge on the subject, approved of their action and of thelr keeping the oll schedule tn force, and by the reappointment of the okt Commis- sloners last January assumed the responsl- bility for thelr neglect and omission of duty, We were further justified in unkmg use of the old tariff for comparison from the fact {hat the Conunissioners themselves put thelr new tgriif in comparison with the old. We felt further Justified because dur- Ing those olght years-we had not heart that the rallronds of HlInulg had ever catled upon the State Government for n new and revised schedule, While we say this much, we frankly confess that wo were In total ig- norance of the fact, now stated by Mr. Rip- Joy, that the schedule of 187 has been, from its first promulgation to the present timo, though nominally haying the forea of Inw, a dead end inoperative lu, an absurdity, and has long been recognized ns such by the community, the rallronds, and the Commis- sloners themselves”; ant that “few {If any ofthoronls in the State have up to this me paid ony attention to this abortion of 1873.” Had wo been Informed that the exec utlve oflicers of the State have during these eight years considered, trented, and recog- ulzed tho schedule of 1873 as an absurd nul Itty to which “fow it any of the roads have pat any attention,” aug therefore of no mora wuthority than Inst year’s nlmanac, we would not have fatten into tho error of trent- ing Itasa law of the State protecting the people from extortion and unjust discrimina- tion, Under this explanation of Mr, Ripley the peopio of IMnols will now understand that the schedule of 1881 {3 something new, hay- ing no connection with the past, and that for eight years the State authorities have beon humbugging and deluding the public by a sham scheduluof rates to whieh the rallroads havo puld no attention, and which the Com- intssionors themselves” confess to have been un abortion, and made no effort te enforce, With regard to the conatitutlonallty of the Rallruad Jaw, in whieh Mr. Riptey has no fulth, we have nothing to say, becauso until {otherwise uppears ‘Tun Trmuxe will sua. taln the law, as the courts have done, ‘The difference between ‘Tie Tune and the tailroad Commissioners us to the reduc- tons and additions to the rates of freight is upon two points, ‘The great bulk of rallronu' transportation in tls State is done on, the short hauls, and on these’ hauls the rates are largely Increased over the schedule of 187 On the long hauls the seheduta reduces rates, Mr, Ripley adunits that the previous rate (of 1873) on Jong hauls “was higher than the ronds thought of charging.” “The rates on the great buls of the business having beon Jargely Increased, and the reductions on the Jong hauls, which convey but a small frac- tlon of the frelght, belng only dropped down to the vicinity of what the ronda themselves have been churging, the schedule chango Js aubstuntially an increase on the old rates, the exact percentage of which dopends on the amount of transportation of the several classes of goods, But wo frankly concede that If neretofore few If any of tho roads paid any attention to the tasiff of 1878, but have been dutng bustuess without referees to that act, charging moroortess as the roads thought proper, the present schedule, hays ing no standard with whieh {6 ean be com- narod, van hardfy ba sald to bo either a re- duction or un inereaso of rates, There is no greater obligation, moral or logal, to oboy the schedule of 1681 than thore ‘was to obuy thut of 1873, which was trodden under foot, and ns the bourd. iy substantlaliy coniposed of the suine Comunlasionors now that it has been heretofore, the rullroads pusstbly, mul we think fairly, may expect the now schedule to be treated with tho same cou. iat , {empt by the board as was the old one. Why + showtd the board he lesy negligent or pusll- Janimous fn 1581 than if has been sined 1379 Mr. Ripley state: ‘Tiny TemmuNe argues wilh much apparent sat. Isfaction to itealt that tho cost of transportation haa been reduced it per cent atnec 17. Tt does ot in this case cive ud the feures, and we are compelled to look etsewhero for’ thom, ‘This statement 18 ns crroncuus na tho rest. Withont repeating again tho reasons, based onsteet rails, double loads, and doubled bust hess, why the cost of transportation has been greatly reduced sinea 1833, we simply take the following from Poor's Rattroad Manual far 1880, whieh Is a compitation of all tho res ports of railway business ti the United States forthe year ii, After stating the tons of freight moved, the gross aud net eurnings, tho redtettons In debt, and pay- ments of interest and dlyidends, the Manual says: {twill ho xeon by tho above that while thera lng been an inerensa In trolght moved of 47.27 per cent, nnd in miles of rout operated of Per cent, the inereaso in earnings from tht source has onty teen kt per vent. Fratht ta now moved at arate per ton por mite which: would five yerrs ago hayo been regarded ns im possible, Pho percentage of deeredec’ hie teen 4 per cent=nenrly equat to tho increase fi. tons of freight moved. ‘ In 187, then, according {o this stntement, whieh includes many of the Iltnots rons, there was an inerease of 47.97 per cont in the weight of freight moved, with only an ine erense of St per cent of earntugs; while the rate per ton por iniie had been reduce 42.51 percent, ‘The average rate per ton per anile in 182 was 1.77 cents, while in 18% the iiverage rate was only 1.03 cents, StL the companies paid their way, pate all thole div idends, paid all their interest, Increased thelr inilenge and their operating stock: and this was done—thnt Is, nearly twiee ns mniny tons of freight moved at a reduction of 42 per cent in rates, and with only an Inerease of 5.84 per cent of carnings—by the reductions bt the cort of operating the ronds between tii anid 1879), Repeating that in this controversy we have heen dealing with the treacherous ant dere- Het Bourd of Railrond Commissioners and not with the railways, we have endeavored fo show that that commission has betrayed the public coniidence, and has insultingly and contemptuously disregarded tho spirit and letter of the law. If anything were needed to minke this. char gemore emphatie, the revelations made by Mr. Ripley as to the histury of the schedule of 1873, nud the nvtion of the Commissioners In relation thereto, will supply any deficlency in our presentation of the matter, ‘fhe oflicers and manngersot the rallronds are elenr-hended, intelligent men, keenly alive to the Interests of thelr corport- tions, ‘That they have truly niensured and weighed the Ulinols Commissioners [s proven by Mr. Ripley's closlg remark, in which he spenks of them as “a board tho members of which nve confessedty fgnorant of the sul- Jeet with which thoy are enticed upon to deal.” eee THE S0UTH AND THE cIRous. Tho mutual antagonism between circuses and the people of our Southern States is one of the most mysterious features of our social economy. In almost every other direction the South fs substantially reconstructed, but the anclent antipathy against the cireus re- mains in full foree, ‘he South hates the elreus and the eirews hntes the South, itis not certain that the South tintes the elreus per se—that is, becouse It is ncireus, It does ‘notscem to have auy grudge against tne trained horses, the snimats, the fat woman, the skeleton man, the bearded Indy, the Az tee children, or the ravishing Clreassiin girls from Cork. Its antipathy does not In- clude the baud, the sawdust ring, tho hourig who guide the Roman chartots, the Goddess of Liberty, the elephants, or the camels, 1t is rather the employés, the» mon who enro for tho horses, drive the tenms, put up the touts, and stir up the aninals. ‘The moment a cirens approaches a Southern town these employts make their arrange ments, after taking In all the monoy they can gut ont of the people, to rad tho town ant ran muck among the chivalry, Equally, the momont the circus heaves in sight, the people arm themselves for a serimmage, anc tho xerfimmage nearly always occurs, ‘This hostility Is all the more mysterlous when It is contrasted with the friendly feoting that oxists towards tho circus inthe North, and the rapiurous delight with which its entrés is halted, Circus-days In tho North are the sunny spots of youth, amt even age hails them with pleasure, for thoy reilect the Nght of other days, and bring back joy- ous reminiscences of tho time when uo toll was too arduous that would procure the quarter necessary for admission into that canvased and sawdusty temple of marvelous wonders, and for a sight of the pink-legged divinities speeding around tho ring, of tho bedaubed clown and his antics, of the high- toned and highly-moral ringmnster, uttering: such exalted senthnents ns not oven Tuppor in his most fispired moments ever con- colved. No disturbance ever broke the pence of those red-letter days more dangerous than the sudden irruption of tho camp auaras In quest of small boys surreptitiously eraw!- ing under tho canvas, thence to sinuously make tholr way to the lower seat and view the passing show with stately innocence and suppressed entlusinsm lest they attract the attention of some argus-eyed vigilant whos duty It was to Keep a sharp lookout for these Juvenescent deadheads, and, I€ not ruthles- ly drawn baek by the legs fro tho outside, to be ignominiously expellel from the in- alde In face of the wholo congrogution, mud tunid the Jeers of more fortunate small boys who had proudly entered In a logitinate way, Onir dispatches a day or two sinco brought us tho details of one of these conventional collisions in the South, It oveurred at Car- tersville, Ga, and if had a unique orlgin During the day a countryman eame Into town with a pet bear and boldly sot up his show In.competition with the circus, charg. tng no admission, ‘ho clreusmen thoroupon stole his bear, broke up the show, and put Nim In ono of their eages, This was tho signal for the scrimmage, The townsmen rallicd around the countryman, headed by their City Marshal, armed with revolvers, shotguns, bowle-kniyes, and bludgeons, ‘The elreus-men gathored quickly tugether, nlso urmed to the teeth, The cause of the row meanwhile nervously paced his new quar: ters, for hls appearance in the tent was re- garded with stern disfavor by the othor ant- innls, the projudice even extending to the monkeys aul cockatoos, who pierced the alr with thelr shrilt yoelforations and inade frantle efforts to preuk loose. Meanwhile’ the battle outside began. Pistol-balls flew In ovory direction, and, of course, with fatal results only among the spectators, who had come early and taken choice seats to seo tho Aight, which in any Southeru town is us good, ag nelrous, Moanwhile, the animals in the tent, belng left to themselves, got upon the rampage, and yelled and bellowed detianca atench other, ‘They paced thelr cages and tore at the bars, . ‘The parrots sereamed, the monkeys chattored, the panthers howled, the hyenas laughed, the Nous roured, The coun- trymau’s bear In his fright upset his cage, got away, and ran for the woods, the entire menagerio making desporate efforts to got Jooge and pursuo hin, ‘The. fight grew hot- ter outside uy bruln was soon legging it for . the distant thuber, and the spectators, tired’ of belug turgely for the com- batants, set of Jn pursuit, At Inst the outside ‘Aght came 10 au enil, [tho -circumnen beluz too muck for tho townsmen, but tho tiside fight still raged flereely, 4 were upset, and, two of them getting entangled, the parrots and tho mnoukeys © had a till of'a thine ” clawing at pte other through the bars, ‘The larger onlnals tugged away at thelr prison doors, and at last the Polar bear and a Hon got looge, ‘Tho hear: shot through tho entrance with the Hon after iim. ‘ThBelrensmen wero stl chasing the townsmen and the Hon was chasing the bear upon their very heels, At sight of them cireusmen and townsimen took to tholr heels in opposit direetlons. Tho Hon overtook the bear and soon dispatehedt him. and, his blood being uy, started off for moray prey. ‘The townspeople sought thelr hous "The elreus people returned to their show, restored order {tthe metnzerie, folded theit tents like tho Arabs, and silently stolo away, without givlug any further perform ances, leaving the Hon at large, who now holds the town of Cartersville nt his meres, so that ny one dares venture out of doors, Were It not for the doetrine of State-rights, help might come to them from the outside, As no news has been heard from Cartersville sinee the affray, whieh happened roveral days ago, wo must be prepared for the worst. Meanwhile we suggest to our Philosophical Society that they night study this problem with profit, aud perhaps get at tho secret: whieh Iles at the botlom of this irrepressible conflict between circuses and Southerners, WHAT THE F. HAVE DONE FOR THEIR MICHIGAN BRETHREN. ‘There seems to be nv persistent effort In ecortitin quarters.te hold Chicago up to the country as an ungrateful eity because her contributions in ald of the farmers who sut- fered last Ausust by fire in Michigan havo not equated the deniands or the expectations of somo of the persons engaged Inanaking collections for that purpose, although she has nlready refunded more te Michigan to, relleye her burnt-out farmers than she re- celyed from all that State ten years ago when fen to twenty Unies as many of her people were In soro distress, It has plensed theso neople to remind Chileago that when this elly was swept by tre there was 10 hesitation anywhere Litho contribution to the relief of her stricken multitudes, The dently Is a mistake somewhere on this subject.

Chiengo were Inunense—$160,000,- ow, ‘The contributions of the world, how- ever, were never disparaged because in the Aggregate they did net equal % per cent of the losses, The destruction of property In the Sag- tnaw farm districts wos a grievous loss to the farmers of three counties, Some hun- dreds of them wore left destitute of even food and clothing, without hones or hablta- tions, losing thelr senson’s crop of 1881, and thus deprived of obtaining more except by Toans on their iand or by charity until tho next harvest. ‘They fost all they had exeept tho land, whieh was swept of Its entire yege- tation, ‘Pho number of victims Is varlously esthmated nt 1,100 to 4,000 fuinilles, and they were all in purely agricultural districts, Theso sufferers wero almost ull farmers, cultivating their farms. In the State of Michigan there were 125,000 other freehold farmers, all of them well to do, and able promptly to assist their suffering brethren in the Saginaw district, Intho adjoining States of Ohlo, Indiana, INinols, and: Wisconsin, there aro between ono and two mill- jons of prosperous farmers owning rich productive Innds, and avery ono of then milurally and personally interested in the sufferings of the few hundreds of Michigan farmers who with their families had beon so suddenly oyertakon by ‘this fire calamity, Now, wiiat are the facts? ‘Tho money raised in Michigan for theso suffering farmers has been collected mainly In Detroit and in the other cities and towns of tho State. ‘The 125,- 000 prosperous farmers have practically dene nothing to relieve and succor these unfortu- nate farmersof the Saginaw district. In Ohio, {ndlana, New York, Massachusetts, Ilinols, und Wisconsin, and all other parts of the cotntry, the contributions In aid of these Mlehigan farmers have been made In the elties and towns, and searcely 9 dollar has been forwarded or given by tho agriculturat brethren of tho West or elsewhere to the sufferers, Asn whole, te farmers ot theso Wostern States are the most wealthy and prosperous, as they are the most numerous, ofthe population, and yet they haye loft the Governor of Michigan and the other gontle- men who haya been solleiting donations to Importune the clties and towns of the coun- try for ald. Notwithstanding the sufferers wore almost exclusively farmers, the farmers. of Michigan and all other surrounding States have done substautially nothing in the way ofmaking good the losses of the suifering agricultural class, ‘Tho population of Chieago at tho timo of the tire was, and at this thne is, largely made up of Indorers and other workmon dependent upon their daily wages. A majority of them donotown the houses in whieh thoy Ive, ‘They are, ag compared’ with the farmers of the Western Stites, poor In tis world's goods. “The entire Clilengo population lost by the fire; the rich and prosperous were left penniless, and thotr recovery from theso Josses has boon exceptional, ‘These destroyed capitalists have been succeeded by neweom- evs, Who have brought capital here. Shou- sands of familios once In good clreumstances, who Jost thelr entire proporly in tha fire, stillsuffer under the poverty then entailed, and it Is a mistake to suppose, as many of these ofticinl people in Michigan assume, that the losses of the Chicago fire wore mado good by tho world’s contributions, Four and a halt millions of donations went but a small way towards making good 160 imilllons of Joss over and above Insurance recovered. Abut that charity saved tons of thousands of Jaboring poor from perlshing of cold and hunger, It kept them alive until thoy could find work and become self-supporting, ‘Su latest news from Great Britain shows that under the operation of the Land bill the Irish outlook Is more encouraging, aud the tenants are cagorly rushing forward to the Land Court to havo thelr rents fixed by It, ‘On ‘Thursday Inst 1,900 cases were entered, and there were 130,000 applications for notices that they would apply to the court, In the County Mayo, which was 0 very hotbed of the leaguo’s ugitation, a thousand tenants in Castlebar alone have applied te the court to fixtheir rents, Asn matter of course, it the court fixes rentals thut are moderate and sat- isfactory to the tenants they wlll withdraw froin the Laud League, having secured thelr object in joining It, Everything depends on whut tho Land Court does, how It applica the Inw, and satlsfes the wishes and oxpecta- tlons of the farmers, who want one. third 10 one-half ,knoecked ‘olf tho renta that hava been tortured out of them under distress warrants and evictions, A letter from Sir. Jolin Fotsythe, printed in our lust issue, throws some light upon the eagornces of tho tenants In the North of Ire land to get court leuses, and upon thelr gatiee faction with the new condition of things. Mr, Forsythe referd to the sale of 4 farm ot nine teen acres recently mado fu the County Au- trim, in the North of Iroland, in the neighbor hood he came from, which ts by no means ono of tho best of Liish agricultural districts, ‘Tho tenant-ricota tn the Ite farm of nites teen acres, whiteh had been paying a yearly rantal of $160, or two pounds an neve (810), wag mut up to auction under the provisions of (Uadstono’s recent Land act which Parnell despises, and was sold for $3,500, or SILA) per vere, which represents the tenant's youl will, hnprovements, and hiterest inthe farm, Ag Mr. Forsythe says: “Prior to the pis- sage of the Land act the tenant contd not have sokl his tenanteright or good-will ox- copt by the permission of the Inndlore; and then only to such purelinserandatsuch price beracrens the tandiord might determine, which In no caso would exceed the sim of £10 (850) per acre, but was gencrally Mmited fo £5 (825) per aere, depending greatly on tho liberality of the Inndlord.* Under tha Qindstons Land bill the tenant is entitled to the Improvements he has made, suchas the bifldings he lias ¢ ed, the dratning and niiarine, and tho wor Ing material he has aceumulated, and not only this, btit.to the lmprovemants made hy former tenants, so that when he sells out hts Jnterest Inthe lease he obtains an equivalent for his improvements; or, should fo choose to maken now lense, hie still ins tho actual ensh benellt of these improvements, ns the how yaluation nist be made upon the nuked. land Itself, after the value of the intprove- menishas been deducted. in uther words, the tenants for tho first timein thelr Hives ate Jing owners with tho Iandlords, and in real- ity are owning from one-fourth to one- half of the whole value of tho farms in Treland, Irish tenants are no Tonger pau- ners, ‘They nave now an ownership if they continue to lense and occupy thelr Iands, If they wish to leave the country, thetr Interest ropresents « Inige ensh valne, ane they will uo longer coma to our shores penniless as heretofore, but provided with money enough to muke a fresh start In tho world.

If tho Land Conrts trent tho tenants fairly in fixing the rents, us we belleve they will, the Land League has little further mission, It represents hostility ton condition of things which no longur exists under the new Land act, and as those who belong to the league Aud that thelr Interests are established and protected they will gradually drop out of It, and tho league will impereoptibly melt away, ‘Tu senlor Democratte organ thus refers to tho two Democratio elty candidates for scats on the Hoard of County Cotumissioners: Thorg could bo no clearer exposition of Nom- cerutio hopes, fours, and untlelpations than given inthe above interview {describing Me. publican apathy}.
