WAYNE MACV.KAOD : , President Gar-
field's attorney general , has just bedn
elected president of the Philadelphia
Civil Service Reform association. The
compliment is well deserved. For
nineteen years Mr. MacVeagh has
boon identified with a civil service
movement , and ho has never swerved
in his purpose of purifying politics.

B. & M. junnisBaries have been re

Tni ! temperance cause lias as many
fluctuations as Wull street stock. In
the language of the street it has gained
two points , but this rise is temporary
and fluctuating , and has come from
unexpected quarters. Kentucky hold a
prohibition convention where the maj-
fcrs und colonels , strange to say , wont
( Zhreo whole days without taking a
drink. The striking brewers of Now
York , Chicago and Cincinnati have
boycotted boor for four weeks. But in
spite ot this favorable turn to the cause ,
the depressing news comes that Maine
is going to give up prohibition , In
consequence , temperance stock has boon
cheeked in its rosy ( light.
Tnt : offensive partisans of Nebraska ,
who as federal oftica holders are busily
engaged In selecting delegates to the
state convention , and are doing heroic
vrork for party politics , are warned. It
was to them that Mr. Cleveland directed
his proclamation of July 14,18SO , that
"onico holders are the ag&nta of the
people , not their masters , and that they
have no right to dictate political
notion of their party associates. "
Mr. Cleveland's words are clear ; "Tho
Influence of federal ofllco holders should
not bo felt in the manipulation of politi
cal primary meetings and nominating
conventions. " The question is , how
many federal oflico holders take this
Injunction seriously to mind ? Not 9110.

To ncRln To-tiny
If nothing interpose to change the
order in congress , the tariff bill of the
ways hml moans committee will corao
forward to-day for consideration. It is
to bo supposed that the chairman of the
committee will have ready a speech in
support of the measure , and thus will
open the diflcussiont How long this
may bo continued it is impossible to
say. Moro than n hundred members
are registered to speak on the tariff ,
and many who have not thus signified
their in ten lion ivill doubtless bo hoard
on the subject. Tho.undorstood plan is
to devote live days of each week to the
bill until a vote IB reached on it , which
the friends of the measure dcstro shall
not bo Inter than the first of Juno.
The opponents of the bill are expected
to use all the parliamentary tac
tics at tholr command to prevent
a vote being reached at that time. In
this way the country will learn after
awhile of their full strength and ot the
chances of the bill in the house. It maybe
bo taken for granted that the repub
licans are very nearly solid against it.
The latest estimate of the number of
republicans xvho will support it docs not
go nbovo half a dozen. When the final
application of the party lash shall bo
made iho number may bo found oven
loss than this. The influence of party
pressure has shown itself In the case of
Bovoral republican representatives who
before congress assembled and since
widely proclaimed themselves in favor
of tariff reform , and it will bo vigor
ously and effectively exerted from now
on , so that there is littlorisk in predict
ing that when a vote is taken the re
publicans will bo found al
most unanimous. It is im
possible to say how many democrats
Mr. Randall will be able to marshal in
opposition to the bill , but certainly a
less number than he was credited with
controlling sixty days ago. Several of
those who wore counted in his faction
have already signified their intention
to support the hill , and part } ' considera
tions , with the influence of the adminis
tration , will perhaps induce others to
do so. If the democrats have the sup
port of no moro than six republicans
and lese not more than double that num
ber from their own ranks they can pass
the bill in the house byamorcmajority.
The party pressure on both sides will
bo very heavy , and every man will be
given to understand that his standing
in the party , and therefore hi3 political
future , will depend upon his vote on
this bill.
The measure should bo , and it is
to be hoped will be , amended in
several important respects , but
the proper way totneet it is not by mere
captious opposition and obstruction ,
but by a straightforward and honest ef
fort to secure such changes as will re
lieve it of the objectionable features and
make it more nearly than it is a na
tional measure , dealing justly and
equitably by all sections and interests.
Republicans who profess to favor tariff
reform cannot expect to have their pro
fessions believed if while opposing the
bill of the majority of the ways and
moans committee they have nothing to
offer in the line of reform in place of it.
The country is tired of that sort of
statesmanship _ which expends itself in
fault-finding and has nothing to pro
pose for remedying existing evils and
abuses. It is impatient of the practice
which holds every question to the test of
party expediency and advantage. It is
losing confidence in pledges that ore
persistently disregarded. It demands
that there shall bo practical , intelligent
and honest action on the questions of
taxation und revenue'BO'that the people
ple shall have the relief they need and
the government bo provided with no
moro from their resources than its neces
sary requirements call for. This is not
only practicable , but would bo eabily
accomplished if the representatives of
the people would address themselves to
the task in an honest and patriotic
spirit , Rut this spirit is subordinated
to the demands of party and the ambi
tion of individuals.
The tarid discussion that is expected
to begin to-day will bo regarded during
its progress with increasing interest by
the country in the hope that the result
may bo BO wise and satisfactory as to re
move this question from controversy for
years to come.
Underbilling.
There is hardly any form of discrim
ination by railways 7nore dangerous
than undorbilling , chiefly for the
reason that it is so dilllcult to detect.
The inter-state commerce commission ,
in referring to this method of discrim
ination , citqd several instances of the
undorbilling of grain loaded into ears
from private elevators at Chicago , and
other examples have since boon found
elsewhere , showing differences of from ,
forty to over ono hundred per cent be
tween the actual weight and tlio billing
weight , the mistake always being on
the side of the shipper. The evidence
shows that during the last season a
largo amount of grain has been loaded
nt interior points in the western states
and gone through various junction
points south and webt of Chicago
without transfer to the oast. The ship
ments uro made from small country sta
tions whore no facilities for weighing
the grain exist , but where local buyers
have storehouses or country elevators
and their weights have been acceptor
by the carriers in reliance upon their
good faith. It is a custom among rail
roads to seal cars for long-distance ship
ments , keeping a record at junction
points of the condition of the seals , a
road upon which a seal is unbroken not
being regarded as liable on damage
claims. In many cases of undorbilling
the initial railroad company has no
doubt been cognizant ot the fact Urn
the weights wore not full , while other
cases no doubt exist in which the car
rier was entirely innocent.
This practice , which provallec
to Eomo extent before the
passage of the intor-stato com
moroo law , is said upon good authority
to have very greatly increased since , ir
a great measure taking the place of the
payment of rebates. In view of this
Judge Cooley , chairman of the inter
state commerce commission , is roportei
to bo making a personal investigation
in order to determine what is neccssar ;
to be douo to put u stop to the practice
Jucli nn evasion of the law obviously do-
cats its purpose of preventing die-
crimination between shippers , and
while it may bo admitted that carriers
are sometimes imposed on by dishonest
shippers in misrepresenting the weight
of shipments , it is Tiot to bo supposed
thnt this happens often , but thnt in the
majority of cases ot undorbillliijj
there is collusion between the
carrier and the shipper. The law
s violated in every such cnso
qf discrimination , but ns wo hnvo said
there is the great difllcullyof detection ,
nnd besides this of fixing the responsi
bility. This , it has been suggested ,
could bo most surely done by making
joth the shipper nnd the carrier ntncn-
nblo to the law , nnd declaring it nn of-
'onso for any person lo offer for ship
ment or for any transportation company
rcnowlngly to receive nnd forward nny
article the true character nnd correct
weight of which are not specified In the
shipping directions or way-bill.
This is ono form ot evading the interstate -
state commerce law which will require
attention , nnd there are doubtless others
Lhat investigation would develop.
The suggestion of such disclosures
is that congress should give
the law patient nnd thorough con
sideration with n view to such amend
ments as will render it moro effective
'or the prevention of the abuses it was
enacted to remove. So far congress has
not shown a very zealous disposition to
do this , and it was not untimely on the
part of the Now York chamber of com
merce in passing a resolution calling
upon that body to take action to prevent
the evasions of the intor-stato com
merce law still practiced by the rail
road companies , and to apply equal pen
alties for violations of the law to both
railroads and shippers.
As wo had supposed , the ways and
means committee of the house will bo in
no hurry to report the senate bond pur
chase bill. It is stated the committee
will ask the opinion of the secretary of
the treasury as to the effect of the pro
vision of the bill requiring the purchase
and coining ol silver to anamountcqual
to national hank notes surrendered , al
though his views must be well known
to the committee. It is of course desir
able , however , to have'tho official state
ment ns a basis. With the opinion of
the secretary antagonizing the silver
provision the committee will feel moro
fully warranted in doing what it had
already intended to do , report unfavor
able on the bill in order to relieve the
president of the necessity of passing
upon it. The opinion of the secretary ,
however , will be virtually that of the
president , so that the country will not
bo deceived as to the present views of
Mr. Cleveland regarding silver. Mean
time nothing will be done toward re
ducing the surplus by the. purchase of
bonds , for the reason that Secretary
Fail-child stupidly or stubbornly de
clines to regard as sufficient tlio
declarations of both houses respecting
his authority to buy bonds. The senate
having taken a position on this matter
will very likely not recede from it , and
therefore the promise is that the treas
ury will do nothing to help the money
market in the only way that ta.now open
to it. In the play at Washington for
party advantage the interests and wel
fare of the country are getting very lit
tle show.
THIS people of Colorado are congratu
lating themselves upon the prospect of
the removal of the Southern Utes from
that state , a bill for this purpose having
passed both houses of congress. A Den
ver paper remarks that it would bo well
nigh impossible to overestimate the
value to Colorado of the removal of the
Utcs , and appears to look with happy
anticipation to the day when it can an
nounce that there are no Indians in
that state and no tribal reservation to
be found within its limits. Undoubt
edly the Utcs haye been troublesome to
the people of southwestern Colorado ,
and certainly the state will bo bettor off
without them , but perhaps justice re
quires it to bo said that the Indians
would not have been so troublesome ex
cept for the treatment they received at
the hands of unscrupulous white men ,
some of them occupying olJicial posi
tions. The evidence is that some of the
whites of southwestern Colorado tire
quite'as bad , or a little worbo , than the
red men , as will perhaps bo moro dis
tinctly shown when they have no one to
prey upon but themselves.
A LONDON dispatch announces the

I would have chilly sensations , with H llttlo

sensation In i&ynose , and a feeling ot drynuss
or bent , which would last n few hours , when n
watery discharge would set In. Till * would last
perhaps from tbreo duys to u week , when I

have another spell , and as time went on I got no

my nose became less , but 1 noticed there \\i\a
moro trouble in my throat , and I had to hawk

Didn't this have a tendency to injure your general -
