General Gordon ought to be enough of a business man to know that capi- tal goes nowhere except wheroe it can be assured of security, This guaran- teo the south has not offered. Fidelity to financial obligations is something to bo learned in many of the southern states, and until the south earns a title to honesty and agrees to act fowards its creditors in a spirit of justice, neither northern nor European capitalis will risk their money in southern enterpriscs, even though one hundred per cent should be the promised reward. Repudiation and credit never travel hand in hand. ¢ Honest dealing alone can secure confi- " dence with capitalists, and make them friends. Until the southern people understand this, and act upon it as an axiom, they will make little advance toward that solid state of prosperity enjoyed by the north.

The domain of the Pacific railroads of the United States is an empire em- bracing an area greater than that of the original thirteen states of the union. According to the official re- port of the national commissioner of railwrys, the five great trunk lines that are known as Pacific railroads are entitled by their charters to 181,18( 412 acres, or 298,728 square miles, the public lands, The original thir: teen states cover an area of 318752 square miles, or 194,001,771 acres. ‘The exact area of each state is as fol- lows: The tive l‘lcifi;: trunk.lix;uv are en- titled under their national land grant to the following area: Aeres.

One day of Blaine’s splendid gencral- ship would be worth a yearof the trifling botchwork which has harrassed the republican majority in their ef- forts to make a policy for the party and expedite business. And a singlo speech like those formerly delivered by General Garfield would make more campaign ammunition than a dozen of the second hand and revamped ora- tions which have been shot off in sec- tiona during the present session of congress.

And yet the main object of donating this vast empire to the Pacific trunk railroads was to encourage the rapid settlement of the states and territor- ies west of tho Missouri.

Cinclunat! Commercial, April 50(h, Whether a reference of the difter- ences between the Carpenter's union and the employers to the board of trade committee on arbitraticn for ad- justment be successful or not, it shows & wise disposition on the part of the carpenters to seek by arbitration to avoid a strike and the consequent loss of time and labor which would neces- sarily follow, The reference does not preclude a strike if the committee are unable to devise an acceptable com- promise, but it does show a desire to solve the difficulty amicably, before proceeding to more radical measures, In making such a reference neither employers nor employed can expect ! the full force of their demands to ba satisfied, unless it is made clearly ap- parent to the committee that such de- mands are moderate and just. If oftefier happens in arbitrations that comipromises are made, neither side getting'the full measure of its de- mands, but gaining such further in- sight into their relations as to influence them to accept modified propositions The board of trade committee is composed of business men whose min t is fair to presume, are un- biased, and therefors prepsred to listen to the statements of the parties referring, and to give to every fact due and impartial consideration. They may be presumed to have a sufficient general knowledge of the industry as, by the aid of such information as the journeymen carpenters and their em- ployers 1uay furaish, to reach an in- telligant conclasion and make a fair award, Of course there is nothing abso- lutely binding upon either party to abide by the award of the committee. Neither is there in Eugland, where arbitration has been in successful operation for a dozen or more years. But it is there considered a matter of honor if parties appeal to a board of arbitration to recognize its authority and stand by its decisions; and very few instances are recorded where there has been a refusal to accept the award as final for the period desig- nated, An this is the first conference held under a board of arbitration here, its result will be watshed with intereat. If it happily succeeds in finding a modus vivendi between the parties acceptable to both, and so avoiding a strike and an indefinite interruption of labor, it will greatly encourage other industries, where differences arise between employers and employed to appeal to the same tribunal, and it will be a fortunate day for the com. munity and the country when such methods of settling lsbor issues are generally adopted. NEW WHEAT. One Hundred Sacks of the Crop of 1882 Received in St. Louis. 8t Touls Republican, April 80th, The earliest new wheat in a market- able quantity in this market was re- ceived here yesterday, and the highest price per bushel perhaps in the his- tory of the grain was obtained on 'Change. Messrs, 8. W, Cobb & Co., received 100 sacks of the I882 crop from Clarksville, Johnson county, Ark.,, and it sold by auction on the board to John Kauffmann, a city miller, at $4 50 per bushel. Thehundred sacks contained about 250 bushels, the grain was in quantity near a No. 2 white winter, and was in fair condition, yot must have some drying for ready milling urposes, The bidding started off at 51, but this wasasoon raised, and there continued an increasing contest for |gf the lot at heavy and heroic advances, each receiving applause, and when the higher figures were reached there was excited cheeripg and clapping of hands and waving of hats. One grain man, at the bid of $4, was most enthusi- astic, and the announcement of the sale to Mr. Kauffmann at $4 50 was greeted with an ovation of plandits, The first receipt here of the crop of 1881 was from Texas, June 9; in 1880 from the same state May 29; in 1879, from New Madrid, Mo., June 13, and in 1878 from southern Illinois, June 7. A week or two ago there was a sample of the new crop ehown on the Cincinnati exchange which was sent from Georgia, but that was sufficient- ly south to allow of an earlier harvest. The merit of the lot received and sold here yesterday is in the fact that it came from a section tributary to St. Louis as a market. An Impox_«;nt_ _a_::r in Politics. Albeny Journal, The elections of 1882 will be watched with keen interest, first, because of the number and importance of the offices to be filled; second, beczuse the result will be an indication of the pop- ular estimation of President Arthur'’s administration; third, because they will show the progress of the contest of the people against machines and bosses, and aleo the development of the movement in the south.
