WHY THEY WON'T FUSE. Good Government Clubs Give Reasons for IndepenUent Action. The executive committee of the Good Government Clubs of New York have is- sued an address, setting forth their reas- ons for opposing the fusion ticket. They say that if the committee of fifty had ef- fected a union on a non-partisan platform in support of non-political candidates it would have been acceptable to them. The address continues: “The committee of fifty, disregarding the resolution under which it was ap- pointed, bought from the leaders of the republicans and of the state democracy, by promises of money and moral support, certain admirable judicial nominations. The other places on the ticket they conceded to be party spoils. So long as the honor- able and wealthy men of this city are will- ing to lend weight of their names and the power of their resources in such traffic in an attempt to purchase overnment from the politicians we shall have corrupt gov- ernment by whatever party in name it may be called. “The people of this city cannot close their eyes to the fact that the committee of fifty has made an alliance with Platt. They remember that last winter Platt’s muchine refused to graat us police reform, ed all efforts to improve the public derided and repudiated the very le of civil service reform,which re- n representatives had embodied in the constitution of the state, and, re- jecting a simple and cffeciive ballot law, imposed upon you a law framed to dis- franchise independent voters and facilitate bribery at the polls. “When we are confronted on the one hand with the prospect of rezurning to the degrading dominiion of Tammany Hall, or on the other of fastening upon our city, in the guise of reform, the equally tyranni- an_machine, we ives.

From the Chicago Tribune. The spirit of the rural press enters Into Chicago commercial life. A large number of these little patent inside sheets are thrashed over in the clipping bureaus. One paint house takes all the notices relating to the building or repairing of barns, houses and fences in remote county districts and the following week the farmer gets a p of circulars, color cards, ete., setting for the virtues of a particular variety of paints and varnishes. He is gratified and puzzled, and sends iman order. In the manager's office in large wholesale houses there nearly always hangs a map of territory surrounding Chicago, which ts stuck full of pins with red, blue, green or yellow glass heads. At first glance ther seems to be little method in the madn with which the pins are placed, but to the merchant they are eloquent, and tell exact- ly the sort of goods or quantity sold in cer- tain territory.

A desperate duel was fought at Poydras Market, New Orleans,early yesterday morn ing, the principals to it being Dennis Cor- ecran ard Tony Loira, both ward politi- clans. A few weeks ago Corcoran was shot and given up as mortally wounded, but his vigorous constitution saved him. Corcoran has held numerous political positions, being lately in the engineer's department. He was a cindidate for commissioner of Poy- dras, for which position Loira, who is one of the political leaders of the Italians in New Orleans, was also a candidate. As Corcoran was seated yesterday morn- ing at a restaurant, Loira,with two friends, attacked him for the purpose of assassinat ing him. Approaching him from the rea Loira laced his pistol immediately behind Corcoran’s shoulder and fired, expecting to shcot him through the heart. The bullet i the heart, but penetrated the left lurg. As Corcoran arose and tried to draw his weapon, Loira fired a second time, shooting off Corcoran’s thumb and preventing him from using his revolver.He turned in the center of the market and emptied the three other barrels of his revolver, every one of them taking effect in Corcoran, two ledging in his face and one in his shoulder. Corcoran, although terribly wounded, had lvancing on his assailant. Throw- g away his revolver, Loira drew a second one and emptied all six of its chambers at Corcoran, nearly all of the bullets taking effect in his face. In the meanwhile, Cor- coran had ,ot weapon to working in of his wounded thumb, and emptied it t his assailant, one bullet going through Ts neck, the other penetrating the heart.

THE CANAL'S FUTURE |e of Tio ‘Railways for Its session, > 1 * > | OFFERS POR MARYLAND'S INTEREST Possibility af the Employment of Electricity. = HISTORY OF THE DITCH Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., October 12, 1895. Gov. Brown was in Annapolis Wednes- day, as already published in The Star, and opened bids for the state’s interest in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which runs from this city to Georgetown, D.C., a dis- tance of 184 miles. As Gov. Brown was the only member of the board of public works present, no action was taken upon the different bids, one of which was made in the interest of the Baltmore and Ohio Railroad Company, ard the other two in the interest of the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg rail- way. Ic is really a fight between the Baltimore aud Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads, the latter company being on friendly terms with the West Virginia Central and Pitts- burg Railway Company. The latter company has built its railroad from the Elk Garden region of West Vir- ginia to Cumberland, where it has beeu shipping coal over the Pennsylvania rai read principally, although a small portic is shipped over the Baltimore and Ohio. A Road Along the Towpath. The object of the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway Company is to build a railroad over the towpath of th canal from Cumberland to Georgetown, which would almcst parallel the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Offers for the Canal. Of course, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- d Company objects to the sale of the caral to the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway Company. The Balti- mere and Ohio Railroad Company offers to purchase the entire interest of the state for $310,000, Virgini al and Pittsburg Railway Company offers $526,000, and the Washington and Cumberland Rail- road Company a rent of $15,000 annually to the state of Maryland, redeemable on the Puyment of $300,000, besides the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds is- sued under the act of 157%, amounting to over $600,000, and the payment of 25 per cent of the principal of the bonds issued under the act of 1844; and about $100,000 of other claims, including a judgment of about $30,000 and 4) in liquidation of labor claims from IS77 to 1860. The company wishes to lease the canal for ninety-nine years, renewable forever, to the Cumberland and Washington R: a Company, with authority for that company to use such parts of the property as are needed for the construction of a line of railroad from Cumberlard to the District of Columbia, with authority also to utiliz such parts as were available still as a waterway. The €anal Trafic. The Consolidated Coal Company shipped during the year 1Si4 288,831 tons over the canal, the total shipments over the canal being 303,804 tons. The other companies shipping over the cay Creck C Black, were the Gec land Iron Company, 61 heridan & Wilson, 4,185 tons a Central, 208 tons, and Be ze's tc West en, 91 Consolidation Coal Company shipped from their mines The Geerse’s Creek Comp and Borden Compan: three companies could ship over 1,0 tons by canal, which would soon pay interest on the debt of the canal. It is not likely that the canal, which cost the state of Maryland more than. $40,000,000, will be sold for any such sum as has been offered. The Canal. The canal was commenced in 1828 and completed to this city in the fall of 18%). The canal was formally opened on Thurs- day, October 10, 1850, forty-five years ago today, which was a glad day to the people of Allegany county. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad had been completed to Cum- berland in 1$12, but it was a death blow to the traflic along the Mne of the old National road from Cumberland to Whe it was completed to the latter p! The National road was the scene of mu activity, as from twenty-five to thirty stages and wagons left Cumberland each day for Wheeling. The canal in 1850 had mee a business boom in Cumberland and all along the sine of the canal. Boat yards ro the were plentiful, and kept busy all the time. 000 people on the Employment was given to over on the canal, who were engage boats and in the shipyards. Cuml d destined to be a place of grea 1 importance. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany spent a great deal of money in build- ing the Queen City Hotel and the steel rail mill in 1870, and the population of Cumber- land had about doubled in twenty years.

It would cest $3,000,000 to equip the c: 1 with elec- tricity, or $450,000 to furnish it to be operated by mule power. — _A TART REPLY. The Old Maxwell Land Grant Case Aguin, August 15, 1895, Rev. O. P. McMains of Stonewall, Col., addressed a letter to the President regarding the status of the Max- well land grant in Colorado and New Mex- ico, sayirg: “I have the honor to request information as to the petition of settlers on the alleged Maxwell grant directed to your excellency under date of May 8, 1805, re- questing, as a bar to their eviction, the en- forcement of certain laws. This petition has been pigeon holed by the commissioner of the general land office. Is the pigeon holing of the said petition fur the eaforce- ment of certain laws sanctioned by your ex- cellency?” This letter was referred by the President to Secretary Smith, who today made reply to Mr. McMains. He says the lands in question are held under an outstanding federal patent, and are private property, over which the Interjor Department has no jurisdiction, as twice decided by the Su- preme Court of the United States. The Sec- retary rather tartly adds: “Neither the Constitution of the United States, nor any’ law enacted in pursuance thereof, has gtven this department au- thority to override the decisions of the Su- preme Court.” ee A Topograplie Draftsman Wanted.

Dr. Heber Newton declared that a complete closing was an impossibility in his sermon, in New York yesterday. He said: “Mr. Roosevelt has set the standard, to which we must hold all his successors. But the question as to what the law should be is wholly another matter. “The first step is that the whole question shall be submitted to the people of the city to determine We can never educate a true public sense on this question, except as responsibility is laid upon us. “Local option means far more than the right of a city to settle its own excise sys- tem; it means that civic freedom, with which comes the education of a civic con- science. “The Christian Endeavor council, which has just closed in Brooklyn, called for the permanency of the existing laws. t seems to me that such a course Is a serious ‘nistake. Such a total closing of saloons through the whole Sunday has never been permanently achieved in any large city of western Christendom. “Heretofore, in all attempts to regulate the liquor traffic on Sunday, our community in common with other communities,has been content with a partial enforcement of Sun- day closing. “Closing the saloons during the morning, they have been left open, under proper re- strictions, during the latter portion of the day. This has been the course practically pursued in New York through all the time which I can recall, whatever may have been the laws upon the statute books. This pre- sents a possibility of enforcement perma+ vently, and to that extent lessens the evil for intemperance, and pays due regard to Sunday. 1l'sane attempts to regulate the liquor traffic on Sunday in great towns and cities seek to distinguish between the drinks which are offered, prohibiting the sale of ardent spirits and allowing the sale of beers and light wines. The present laws in New York make no such distinction. “The Jaw cannot be enforced beyond the point where the conscience and the will of a community are Lehind it. Law is not the driving wheel of reform, it Is the ratchet Wheel. It holds the gains made by the pub- lie sense of the community. “The temperance aspect of the question is, in reality, nothing less than the old prohibi- tion doctrine applied to one day out of the seven. Prohibition on one day out of seven will share the fate of prohibition through the seven days.” ———__-+e+—___. They Believe in It. The Chicago Times-Herald has learned that of the forty-four state governors thirty-nine are avowed believers in te- ligion. Ten are Presbyterians, five Congre- gationalists, five Episcopalians, four Meth- odists, three Unitarlans, one Baptist and one Christian, while the remaining ten say they are simply Christians. Governor Budd of California, in his reply, says he has no religion, but he believes in the observance of Sunday as the day of res His parents are not believers, and he was brought np as a free thinker. Governor Oates of Ala- bama says he is not a member of any church, and that he never joined but two insututions —the Masonte fraternity and the democratic party.
