wasn't a very lively Fourth of July ,
cither.
IT is reported that Mr. Vandor-

TUB robbery of the llock Island
train near Winston , Mo. , by a gang
of seven desperadoes , and the cow
ardly murder of the conductor and an
inoifensivo passenger , is one of the
most dastardly und deplorable deeds
in the criminal annuls of the country.
There seems little reason to doubt
that the crime was concocted and put
into execution by the James gang ,
which for years have eluded detection
and defied purauiMhroughthofriondly
offices of their Missouri neighbors.
The section of country in which the
deed was committed is known to bo
infested with mch ruffians and it is a
disgrace to Missouri that they liavo
not long since boon hunted Irom their
hiding plucoa and brought to justice ,
! f
It is a startling commentary on lli
lawlessness of a state which protont
to civilization when sovcn men en
board a train in a thickly Bottled poi
lion of the country and hold poi
session of every car while tw
men are being murdered an
the passengers' pockets rifled
Such n deed would bo impossib !
father cast , and the easy method t
its'accomplishmcnt is a crying du
grace to Missouri and a stigma upo
its citizens.
The Winston robbery brings up th
question whether armed guards o :
the trains traversing through Mis
souri would not provo an elTectun
preventive of such crimes. If it won
well understood that the cry n
"hands np ! " would bo promptly me
by a volley of bullets nt the head o
the wonld-bo Dick Turpin , th
number of attempted train rob
buries would bo likely to bcconn
greatly lessoned. Every cflbrt shouh
now bo made to capture the perpetrators
tors ol the desperate deed , and whoi
once captured the nearest tolcgrapl
polo should bo at once called into re
rpuisition to save the law's delays.
THE election of Warner Miller t <
the Now York Bonatorship and tin
probable election of Mr. Lapham ai
the successor of Ex-Senator Conklin ;
causes considerable speculation upoi
the effect which the choice of thesi
gentlemen , who are members-elect o
the next house , will have upon the or
ganization of that body and the election
tion of a speaker. After the election !
of last fall the membership was ostl
mated as follows : Total number ol
representatives , 203 ; republicans , 147 ;
Jemocrats , 130 , grecnbackors , Oj independents -
dependents , 1. The independent is
J. Hyatt Smith , ot Brooklyn , who will
vote for the republican candidate foi
ipeaker. Mr. Fry was elected sena-
; or to succeed Mr. Blaine , and the
, -acancy has not been filled. There
ire or will bo four vacancies in New
Fork , three of which were filled by
republicans , viz. : Messrs. Morton ,
Miller and Lapham. No election haa
lecn ordered in the Ninth
listrict , where the vacancy was
5auscd by the death of Fernando
SVood. If , as is assorted , the successors
, o Messrs. Miller and Lapham cannot
> o olcctcd and qualify in time to take
.heir seats December 1 , the green-
> ackers will hold thobalancoof power.
Clio democrats profess great confi-
lonco in their ability to elect a sue-
lessor to Mr. Morton , and the loss of
mo vote would bo seriously felt. The
Icmocrats , howcvoj , are believed tote
to reckoning without their host in
lacing any reliance upon Greenback
otcs. It is hardly possible for the
reonbackera to unite upon any candi-
ate of their own for speaker , and the
sur Missouri greonbaekors Hazel-
ino , Rico , Ford and Burrows have
nnounccd their intention of voting
rith the republicans.
TUB railway passenger war among
ho eastern trunk lines is assuming
ivoly proportions , and tickets from
ow York to Chicago are selling at
ess than half the usual prices.
Cnowing dealers in railway stocks do-
laro that the movement comes from
ho Vanderbilt camp in order to
boar" the stocks of certain trunk
ines which ho is anxious to got hold
if. At the same time , Mr. "Vandor-
ilt , fearing the competition which
ho Pennsylvania Central mtylit force
ipon him , denies vigorously that
10 is in any way responsible
or the beginning of the Avar. Ho
ppreciates the fact that in case of
ipon cutting of rates it would bo ut-
erly impossible for the Now York
Jontral to compote cither in speed or
xponso with the Pennsylvania road
finch owns its own lines from Now
fork to Chicago. There is not , after
11 as much money lost by those outs
s people generally imagine. It costs
ino-tonths of a cent per mile to trans-
ort passengers on eastern roads so
liat oven at the present ralo9 , , there
i a profit.
WENDELL PHILLIPS , radical in all
liings , has boon severely censured by
ovoral Now England papers for up-
tolding nihilism. Some papers oven
vent so far as to impute to him uym-
lalhy with the attempted assassina-
ion of President Garfield , And now
ho Boston Traveller comes to the do-
onso of Wendell Phillips in the follow-
tif ? pointed aitiohv
"Wendell Phillips has never
> reachud assassination in America ,
md wo venture to believe ho never
vill. And it is grossly unjust to our
> wn country , extremely unfair to the
lihihsts , and far to generous to Guit-
iau , to draw any analogy between the
[ hooting of President Garfield and
ho killing of Czar Alexander.
\ \ hen wo turn Alaska into a Siberia ,
md send our young men by the thou.
land into exile for exercising the
ight of free discussion ; when wo strip
roung girls and Hog them to death in
ho public squares of New York and
Joston ; when wo suppress newspapers ,
ionfiscato printing presses , shut up
he public halls , and put u ball and

> o time enough to toll us that there is
ho same excuse for assassination hero
H in Russia. "
TUB city waterworks company have
ncountered many serious obstacles in
he construction of their works. An
aily and severe winter prevented the
ayiug of water pipes and the floods of
ho spring submerged the plateau
upon which their engine homo an
settling reservoirs were located. Aa
consequence the company wore unabl
to fulfill their promise to supply Oma
ha with water for fire hydrants by th
first of July. An extension to No
vombcr first is asked tV
by the company , which will doubtles
bo granted , but the council vcr
properly deferred action on this mat
tcr until the city attorney can drawn
a legal ordinance that will protect th
interests of the city while giantin
tho.prayor of the company.
Unless some unforeseen acciden
happens , there is no doubt now tha
the works will bo in full operatio
much earlier than the first of Novem
her.
STAU gazers and comet hunters nr
having a high old time this year. An
other comet has put in an appearance
This one is not visible to vulgar eyes
like our long tailed visitor that is sup
posed to have been split in the mid
die. Only high toned aristocrats arm
cd with costly telescopes and oporaglas
ea enjoy the privilege of viewing th
latest comet.
Like all high-flyers tlnsnowcomct i
reported to have a rather stately mo
tion. This is the fourth comet dis
covorcd since May 1 , which show
that this is a very good season fo
these erratic visitors. The fact tha
four have been scon , not to speak o
these that have not been seen , ough
to bo reassuring to these persons whc
still cling to the old superstition tha
a comet is a sign , if not a cause , o
some impending notable human ca
lamity. In the old days some
connection might have been im
agincd between the recent vis
ible comet which is now
rapidly fading away and the shooting
of the president , but that the sk ;
should bo full of comets , so to speak
in order to presage or produce the
calamity at Washington , dreadful as
it was , is putting a greater strain upoi
the superstitious theory , than it woult
have been able to bear , oven in the
days when it had some acceptance.
The most that can bo said of this now
visitor , is that it will furnish moro
business for our astronomers , ant
larger ground for comparison in the
very interesting study of these lawless
vagabonds of the sky.
WAIUTEK MILLEU , who was electee
by the Now York legislature as Unitec
States senator in place of Thomas 0.
Platt , is said by Now York politicians ,
to bo a man of moro than ordinary
force of character and political sagac
ity. His friends claim that ho has
great taste and aptitude for politico
management , and has had a remark
able career of success in Now York.
He made Mr. Sloan speaker , carried
the organization of the state sonata
against the machine , was most active
in making Mr. James postmaster-
general , and has been the chief man
ager in the movement to place Frank
Hiscock in the speaker's chair of the
house. While not a brilliant ant
showy man , ho possesses solid quali
ties which will inako him a usofu.
senator and a skillful leader. His
loyalty to the republican party has al
ways boon unquestioned.
THE Posl-Dhpuich remarks that the
ruling passion of the American ,
whether in jail or out , is politics ,
Ihis fact was illustrated in the Clin
ton ( N. Y. ) penitentiary on Thursday
last , when a convict named Henry
King brained a follow prisoner , Mich-
wl Hamilton , in a quarrel over the
stalwart and half-breed difficulty at
Albany. King is a Conkling man
through and through , and although
Lho discussion was a heated one ho ap
pears to have convinced the other man
In the end. Argument is a powerful
means of swaying people in a free
jovornmont , especially if it is pointed
with an axe. If the unconvicted con
victs at Albany possessed the force of
character and clan of the convicted
: onvicts at Clinton , the dead-lock
would have ended long ago ,
AMKUIGAX workingmen and moro
especially American mechanics need
not bo alarmed by the great influx of
Foreign immigrants to America. The
Now York commissioner of emigra
tion who has made a careful classifica
tion of the occupation of immigrants
reports very few skilled mechanics
liavo reached this country during the
present season. Most of thoonormoua
immigration this year has been ticket-
oil through to Iho far west and to
1'oxas. Most of these poonlo belong
to the agricultural class and intend to
settle on farms.
ACCOHUINO to the Now York
Eveniny Post , ex-Senator Hitchcock ,
jf Nebraska , was not , as has boon
3rronoously reported , a classmate of
President Garfield at Williams college ,
but was graduated one year before
iim , in 18D5. The Boston Post says
: lmt Senator Hitchcock and Senator
[ ngalls , of Kansas , \\ero classmates
aid room-mates , and oven in their
: ollcgo days their senatorial ambition
iad developed , and there was quite a
pint of emulation as to which should

ilocted senator in 1871 , and Ingalls

The > Railroad nnd the People ,
Ssn Francisco Chronicle.
There is abundant evidence that th
time is close at hand when an ovot
whelming popular opinion will rondo
it necessary that the just relations o
railroads to the public shall bo accurately
ratoly defined by appropriate legisln
tion. Some of the chief points of dil
fcronco between thn pcoplo and th
railroad managers are the following :
First The pcoplo hold that th
charges for transportation hall b
"reasonable , " and based mainly upoi
the cost of service1 while the railwa.
managers insist upon acting on th
principle of clmrgni' ' "all the trafli
will bear. "
Second The railway managers jus
tify the practice of charging discrimi
nating rates in furtherance of their in
tcrests , that is of charging low rate
to some shippers and of exacting higl
rates from others , where the cost o
the service is the same in both cases
in order to develop business in ccrtaii
favored localities ; whereas the peopl
claim that it is dangerous to the riqht
of citizens to permit the railroad man
agora to discriminate at their plcasur
in favor of certain localities and agains
others.
Third The railroad managers just
ify the practice of contributing mono ;
as campaign funds , and otherwise t <
obtain political influence by whicl
they may control elections and obtaii
influence with legislative bodies ; whili
the people regard this ns a porniciou
and demoralizing practice , leading t (
venality and corruption in oflice.
Fourth The railroad manager ,
claim that their business is one so peculiar
culiar , so complex , anddiflerinK BO cs
sontially from every other kind of bus
incss , that outsiders cannot under
stand it , that legislators cannot dea
with it fairly and wisely , and thai
none but railroad officials are compe
tent to determine the justice oi
charges for transportation , or the ne
cessity for discrimination in such
charges ; while the pcoplo insist tha
railroad companies , being common car
riers and exorcising .1 public function ,
ought to be supervised and rcgulatot
in the interest of the public , just aa
banks and insurance companies arc
supervised and rogulatnd.
For several years these questions
liavo boon extensively discussed , both
in England and the United States.
In England a system of regulation by
railroad commissioners has been
adopted , somewhat similar to thai
provided in our constitution , and it ia
said to work satisfactorily. In sever-
xl of the states of the Union there haa
t > eon a good deal of legislation on thia
subject , mostly of a tentative charac-
; er. In Massachusetts and Illinois
railroad commissions have boon createt
with giod results. In Now York and
icvoral other states attempts are now
seing made in the same direction.
When called upon to give their views
jeforo legislative committees , the rep
resentatives of the railroads liavo not ,
except in rare instances , undertaken
: o deny that discriminations are made.
Dn the contrary , they admit that
; hey are made up system and as a
justness necessity , offering various
moro or less plausible explanations ol
such alleged necessity. Only a shorl
: imo since the public was amazed by
an equally frank avowal made by a
jioat California railroad magnate , to
ilie effect that the railway power hac
jeoii forced to go into politics , and to
attempt to influence legislatures aa
; ho only means of protecting itself
against dangerous aggression. Noth-
ng was wanting to complete the
loncsty and truthfulness of this ad-
nission , except to include the courts ol
ustico among the bodies that the rail-
oads had been compelled by the law
of self-protection to attempt to in-
Juonco.
So far as California is concerned we
already have all that need bo asked
'or in the way of constitutional pro
visions and legislative enactments.
Article XII of our Constitutional cov
ers the whole ground. Section 17 de
clares all railroad and transportation
companies to bo common carriers and
mbjoct to legislative control. Section
10 prohibits pooling combinations.
Section 21 declares : "No discrimina
tion in charges of facilities for trans
portation shall bo made by any rail
road or other transportation company
jotweou places or persons , " etc.
Section 22 provides for a
Hoard of Ilailroad Commissioners
with ainplo powers for cor
recting every abuse or injustice in
railroad management that has boon or
nav bo complained of. Atiy ono who
vill read that section will be puzzled
o suggest any needful power that is
ffithholdjfrom the commissioners. If
ibusos still exist in this State , if just
iomplainta against the railroads for
liscriminations between persons and
ilacos are still unheeded , it is not the
ault of the constitution or the laws.
Warm "Word * from the South.
[ From the Atlanta ( Ca. ) Constitution. ]
Wo know a little girl the daugh-
cr of a confederate officer who fought
hrough the war who. upon being
old last Sunday mornint ; that the
president was still alive , quietly relied -
) lied : "I know it. I prayed last
light that ho might live/ The child

ler prayer would bo answered. This
Sunday morning there is every indi-
ation that the president will bo spared

o the stricken man to fair faced wife

[ From the Jfcw Orleans Democrat. !
Wo feet safe in saying that our peo-
do , ono and all , echo the aspiration
liat Mr. Garfield may bo brought

ncumbency had been accepted by the
outh in all faith and contentment' ,
ud his rule was looked to with a
! iousiiul warm and pleasant hopes.
( From the Columbia (3. ( 0. ) Register. )
In the present sad case the South
uols an unselfish sorrow , and wo have
ursolvcs been surprised at the uni-
ersality of feeling existing oven among
10 least "reconstructed" of our poo-
le. It is possible now for President
larfiold to say with full heart and
onest , manly emotion , "Lotus have

[ From ihe Houston ( Tex. ) Post.l

it ho is ennobled and endeared to tli

[ From the Athens ( On. ) Banner. ]
The regret of the southern people i
as sincere as it is universal , If th
president could know the aolicitud
among the southern pcoplo about hi
condition , as evidenced by their a !
most constant conversation and the !
unceasing inquiries it would sooth
him likoan anodyne. It is to bo hoi :
od that ho will know it. It will she >
him the true feelings of this section
and convince him that the South feel
as much interest as the North in pcac
and good government ; it will slioi
him that wo recognize our interest ii
the federal head of the pcoplonnd tha
wocons.doronrsolves aa greatly afllicte
as these of his own party , in his mis
fortune.
[ From tlio Homo ( Ox ) Courier. ]
The country now seems to bo unitei
as it never was before , and this sever
disaster to the president has drawi
the whole people of the countryaroum
and in deep sympathy with him , am
if happily ho should survive , ho wil
hardly have hereafter during his torn
a thought , but that his duty is to th
pcoplo of the whole country , and with
out regard to party.
[ From the Charleston ( S. C. ) News mut Courier ,
Wo hazard nothing in saying tha
the restored president will bo the mos
popular man in the country , and tin
pcoplo caii bo confident that the in
tluonco his popularity gives him wil
bo used for the general good. If tin
president's lifo bo spared there will bi
compensation , indeed , for the sorrow
ing and peril of the last week.
[ From the Sclma ( Ala. ) Times. ]
The south had not realized unti
Saturday whr.t a satisfactory adminis
tration President Garfiold's had beet
so far. Until it contemplated a changi
from it to Arthur and Conkling , it die
not know how much it appreciated tin
former.
Press Comment-
Inter Ocean.
"Peace hath her victories no less re
nowncd than war , " and it may be
added that women have their victories
: io less renowned than men. Mrs ,
jariiuld has had ono such since the
: nurderous attack upon her husband.
Her lofty and sercno courage has in
spired every ono about her , and if the
president's lifo is spared noboely can
doubt that , next to his own indomit
able bravery , no ono cause will con
tribute moro to that end than the true
womanly fortitude of his wife. Her
intelligent devotion has touched the
icarts of the American people , anc ]
; ho touch has been so genuine that il
reached to the pockets. The sub
scription for the benefit ot Mrs. Gar-
ield and her children is a tribute
such as few women indeed have had 01
deserved. It is in some sort a national
recognition of the tact that the lad }
of the White House haa shown to the
country a sort of woman that if
worthy to bo a president's wife.
Springfield Republican.
Protest against the proposed $250-
000 gift to the Garfield family con tin
ues throughout the country , and some
newspapers Which welcomed the sub
scription as an evidence of popular de
votion to the chief officer of the nation
ire taking a sober second thought.
The Republican is in receipt of rnairy
hotter indorsing its presentation of the
mprppnoty of such a gift in view oi
President Garfield's probable recov
ery. The Now York chamber of com-
nerco is loft in a ridiculous plight in
view of the dispatch sent last week by
is secretary to Postmaster-General
James announcing that that organiza
tion had decided to present Mrs. Gar
field with $250,000. Cyrus W. Field
ms been telegraphing and writing ap-
> eals all over the country for help in
naking up the sum which Now Yorkers
voro reported ready to tender.
iVidows and children are sending their
nites for the man who gets a salary
of § 50,000 a year , and this whole
spectacle of bepging for the president
> f the United States is unseemly.
Chore is a vast difference between giv-
ng for yellow fever sufferers and
drawing out hard-earned dollars for
an independent and self-respecting
amily. If the president recovers ho
vill have a difficult and somewhat un
gracious duty to perform in refusing
his gush money.
toston Journal ,
This whole business of presidential
; ifts , whether as regards the Grant
und or the Garfield subscription , we
lo not like. It invests the railroad
cings and other moneyed magnates
vitli a kind of influence which wo can-
lot regard with favor.
Tlio Going of the Utcs
Globe-Democrat.
The people of Colorado are growing
restive under the delay attending the
omoval of the Ute Indians from that
State. And no wonder. Already , a
argo portion of the summer has been
dly frittered away by the commissioners -
ors at § 10 a day each , and traveling
| ) onsos and the Indians havemean-
vhilo amused themselves with fro-
[ uont murder , and kept the whole
vestern part of the State terrorized.
Six or eight weeks from now , winter
voathorwill begin to visit that locality ,
ml then all hope of Indian removal
vill have to be abandoned until next
'car. The necessity is a pressing ono.
f the Utcs are to go before the snow
alls , there is no time to bo wasted )
nd ] certainly there is no serious
ibstaclo in the way of carrying out
ho plan of the removal ono time as
veil as another.
It is not Colorado alone that is in-
orcstod in this question. The whole
ountry , and particularly the whole
vest , is moro or less affected by it.
"hero are special considerations in this
ese which distinguish it from ordi-
ary transactions of the kind. The
Jtes unfortunately occupy a position
rhich makes them a constant menace
ot only to public peace and personal
afety , but to the prosecution and
rowth of a great industry , The lands
! ioy occupy are worthless for agricul-
ural purposes , but rich'in mineral
idications , and so located as to inako
; essential that a forbidding and hos-
lo clement shall not prevail thoro.
t is not merely a question of opening
icso lands to white settlement ; it is
[ so and chiefly a question of protec-
ng settlements already made on
eighbonng lands. The entire
western border of Colorado the moa
valuable mineral scope in the world
perhaps is beset with daily danger s
long as the Utea are just across th
line , ready and eager to seize upon th
the slightest pretext for massacre. I
is not necessary to recall the torribl
instances which have made this fact s
clear that government can not disrc
gard it without justifying crime am
bringing reproach upon the nationn
good nemo , lied tape is but anotho
name for a trail of blood in tha
region.
There is no room , cither , in thi
controversy for the everlasting can
about Indians wrongs. The only poin
involved is that of executing a con
tract ; and the contract is ono which
so far as the Utcs are concerned , i
open only to the objection of boiiij
too liberal. They are to receive othc
lands in exchange .for the presen
ones , at any rate of one-half of a sec
tion to each head of a family and ono
fourth of a section to each uninarrici
person and each orphan child or olho
person under 18 years of ago-all ii
fee simple and free for twonty-fivi
years from taxation or decree o
court ; and' in addition they are to hav <
n cash bonus sufficient to produce tin
sum of $50,000 annually , to bo dis
tributcd to them per capita each yeai
forever. .Besides this , the govern
incnt | | is to maintain schools nmon
them , and to furnish them witl
houses , wagons , tools , stock cattle anc
saw and grist mills. In short , wo are
to place them in a condition superioi
to that over attained by the majoritj
of white men ; and they , on their part ,
simply unelertako to step out of the
way of civilization , and permit white
pcoplo tej develop the resources of the
country in safety , nnd under lawa in-
vi'ing and encouraging them to " < r <
west. "
It is a shame that thcso worthless
and murderous savages have been suf
fered to harass the Colorado bordei
so long. Their presence has unques
tionably defeated and retarded mining
operations to an extent that has touch
ed the prosperity of the entire coun-
iry. It is safe to say that but for the
Indian troubles of the last two years ,
: ho silver product of Colorado would
lave been doubled ; and that would
lave been just so many millions added
; o the available wealth of the United
States. This is a simply cold-blooded
and selfish , though highly important ,
view of the matter , and leaves out of
sight the personal risks and perils , the
narrow escapes ami sudden bloody
loaths of these bravo fellows who
launt the lofty fastnesses and hang
nbout the dizzy edges of precipices in
search of the hidden treasure , "like
hose who gather samphire dreadful
.rado. " There is something due to
hcso men , some excuse to bo made
for their woll-known hatred of In
dians. They have studied the Indian
problem under circumstances that
come directly homo to men , and it has
nado thorn radicals ; but who shall say
; hah they do not know what they are
talking about ? Is not their judgment
nero trustworthy than that of the
lown-cast dilettante who never saw an
[ ndinu aavo a wooden ono standing in
'ront of a cigar store ? It is true in
this , as in everything else , that an
ounce of experience is worth a pound
of idle and morbid theorizing.
The Utcs should go , and they should
stand not upon the order of their
; oing , but got at once. The commis-
tioners have a soft thing , to bo euro ,
n their § 10 a day and expenses , and
vo can sympathize with their desire
to hang on until they exhaust the ap-
) ropnationbut ; the matter is too grave
or delay and trifling. Tlio removal
can bo effected in thirty days , with a
> roper application of energy and good
sense. It has been nearly eighteen
nonths now sincb the agreement was
> ertccted and ratified ; all the prelimi-
laries have certainly boon settled by
this time , and there is no decent
eason why the procession should bo
copt waiting a day longer. The mat
er is not , we repeat , a merely local
mo ; it concerns the whole country.
Fho people of Colorado beint ; im-
nodiatoly and so vitally interested ,
are very properly loudest in thuir com-
) laints , but their feeling is shared ,
hey maybe sure , throughout the west
and by all who have a realizing sense
of the situation. Wo hope the racket
vill bo kept up until thu Utes are
tarted on their winding way to some
emote and inaccessible quarter ,
vhoro the tide of white progreos will
lover bo likely to reach thorn , and
vhoro , if they must scalp and kill and
) illago they will bo obliged to exorcise
heir devilish ingenuity upon one
another.
