Party Fealty. Philadelphia Press. 'i "Wlien a political victory is won 1 narrow margin of votes all memt of the. party can chum that their was jf the utmost importance. P dence requires that all such trium ; should be used in a way to strcngtl the party's policy and to maintain power to govern. , If "patronage * an element of ( power J theh t 'sho not be useid4obuildup jwcti ns. ; factipns , rior lo perpotiate' rivali and joalousieBwhich always crop. more or less through the mistaken timates leadcrs make as to the valui Jtheir o wn 'aan-ices. The -party , w right motives and' rightly guid should be a unit in its battle for pi ciples , and a wise leader will so the advantage that this end shall subserved. Tiiis is what President Garfield h in the main , sought to do. But 1 plea has been made and "by a man eminent even , as ex-President Gr that certain men should bo trea as preferred claimants bpcause tt services were absolutely necessary the President's election. But t would only jeopardize success in i future by emphasizing and perpetu ing present rivalries. Besides , i chum that the aid of a certain factii or of a certain local leader , was i essential is'misleading. . It was cssi tial , but no more so than that of s other .section of the party. Evi republican was indulybonnd acco 'ing to party obligations to do wi he honestly could , and .all he could , achieve party success. General Gr and Senator Conkling were um even greater obligations to use a legitimate influence for success 'tl ' private citizens whom public speak sought to interest and warm into ' thusiasm. They had received natio Honors and emoluments in the c casq to an extent which Wasning'l himself had not received. The di& pointments they had suffered becai they failed t j carry their points n and ihen were unworthy a momoi consideration. They would haves so emphatically had the Chicago c < vcntion indorsed their views of pql .and duty , and to refuse to take on own medicine is throw doubt upon value. Partie are organized , , theoretics at least , for the public good , not glorify individuals. Any other date to consideration would make th contemptible iu the eye of every si sible man. The question of leaders ) or of who shall be greatest , is al gether secondary a matter of op ion and of policy. There must bo < oration and concession on non-ess tials or there can bo no unity of act ; and success. This is a truth as old government itself , and ' yet it is ignoi every time a bolt' is inaugurated my other pretense than that the ru looking to a fair expression are viol sd , or some man or set of jnen s nominated whose lives give the lie their professed principles. Bolts i sometimes justifiable , and are oc < tionally as essential in politics as sa ty-valvcs to a steam-boiler , but i when the issue relates to men ratl than'principles. . When tlie vote that carries a pra lent into office is close ho lias all t more reason , to ignore "claims , " I xiusc all claims are equal. He canu reward all through patronage , ai lieiicc "ho .nerves his party best w serves his country best. " In this w ie could strike a blow for true civ service reform , which , where tl term is really understood and app : : Lvted by the masses" , would place5 ! ! m a pedestal of- popularity : whi 10 reformer hair yet mounted and cr lot hope .to.mount in private life.

How tile prevailing lees less , in this respect 'operates , is shoT n Jay Gould's testimony.

The U. P. . m : line is increased nearly $1,500 a mi Most people outside of railroad circ \rill consider , llQt yithstanding i material advance , that this yaluhti is yet considerably too low. Bat if the 'mam. lines are unreasoi blylow , if , in fact , they are Jiot i reasonably high , then the valuatic of the branch lines is ridiculously lo Take the B. & 'M. for instance. 1 company operates 907 miles in t state. About one-third of this is ; sesscd at the relatively fair valuati of $10,644 per mile , while the otli two-thirds is assessed at less than h that rate , making a very low ave'raj The branch lines of the U. P ; havi still lower value affixed to them. By a peculiar manner of fitfurii the liianagcrs make 'it appear that t branch lines are all but valuele Notwithstanding they arc feedi to ihe main line and contr ute to the entirer system ofwlii they are a part , they are treated independentTlincs" , and the balance profit figured' against them , contra to the essential facts of the case. Th again thobulk'df the rolling-stock returned as belonging the nu line ; when , in fact , it is ustfd on all the' branches , the higher assessmc on the main t'liho being more th counterbalanced by the diminuti assessment of the branch 'lines. 'That ' there" is' ' an increase over t assessment of last year , is gratifyir that it is stil ! too low is our cane opiriiori. Boone County Ar us. It may be of baterest- pur ma farmer readers to observe careful the above rate of assessment of. ra road property lately established by t state board of equalization. It w bo seen by reference to the abe table , that our road is put at on $3,054'per niilo , and'as there is ii IGi miles in this , county , we sin have § 50,391. of railroad property tax , which" will'bring into our couni coffers about § 2,000 in round nui bers. No At in. view of that histoi speech of Farmer ( ? ) Brown , nrkiclt ho ooixl h.j 1BXS OPDOSI to all railroad legislation , ' iE may" interesting to our farmer readers , co sidering'the action of the Board Equalization , to bring 'the ' questi * right' home to ourselves and s tvhcther or not a little f alutary ra road legislation would be beneficial iho whole country. Boone coun jave $33,000 in 20-year bonds , bea ; rig interest' at 8 per cent. , to indu ihe [ company to build the road. ] Nc ; o meet those bonds and , interest T lave to raise § 2,040 for interest ai it the rate of $ lG50as ; princi [ al eve : rear an aggregate yearly expense Jio county of some $4,290 or § 85,8 < A the end of the twenty years.1 ; flfect this we collect on 2,000 in taxes , or $640 less than tl mount we' pay the company as tl rearly'interest on our bonds. Thu iVthe present' rate of assessment < nilroad property ; the farmers andci zens of our county 'virtually give tl J. P. § 33,000 in cash , remit all the axcg for twenty years , and pay the ; 5640 in hard cash per annum , for tl ako 'of''paying exorbitant freight ar ariff rates and supporting a ring < ailroad cappers and sycophants. An rot , says Geo. W. Brown , you mu lot pass any laws affecting railroa iroperty. In The Argus of Mav 61 re gave a synopsis , of the sworn repo nade by 'the ' officers , , of , tl : J.

P. road an quipments cost 114,262.54 pec mil et the main Une of the XT.-P. , wi mly assessed at § 11,552 , or jus aboi ine'-tenth of what the officers of tl : oad the.mselves swore that it cos nd if we consider the earnings of Hi oad , which now are not taxed at al b proves most conclusively that whil he farmer [ and , the'merchaut , til icrchanic and the { laborer are a orced to. pay taxes .onj.the fuU cas alue of every particle of propert ' hey own in'the world , thz lieso giantj fcorporations' ' ai scapipg with nearly nominal taxatipr it this infamously low rate of valur ion Boone county will , have built tli lilroads , besidcsj paying the officei f the 'company asmall , fortune to er ble themjto sit in then- gilded palace ; nd through , such mouth-pieces a add and G. W. . Brown denounce a mseless enthusiasts the. farmers , i jality the true proprietors of the road 'ho dare to lift their voices againa ich wholesale plundering. Th tate board of equalization ough ) bo remanded to eternal oblivioi > r the unjust valuation. Boon mnty when its' ' bonds are pai ! ill have donated to the TJ. P. com my § 5,200 for every mile of railroai icy have built hi this country , yet i returned to us for taxation at th utei of only a little over § 3,000 pe ile. "Why should a man , througl hose farm the road runs , be force < i paytaxes.on one third of the ful iluation of his place , while the rail ad itself , on the same section o : nd , only pays state and couniy taxei i about one-tenth of its' valua > n ? and even then its earnings liich mount up into the millions , es pe taxation entirely. We believe at the railroad dollar is just as gooc it no better than a'dollar invested ir riculture , and both should bear ai ual share of the burden of main- ining our government. We believe fostering railroads and in encourag- their' extension in our state , and ) uld bo utterly opposed to any legis- tion which would cripple.or destroj cm , but on the other hand we are in rr > of putting , them on the same sis as ouier propeHy and restricting sir tariffs within moderate limits.
