The Lawef the Railroads. The antl-dlscrlminatien bill lias been re ported te the Senate simply that it may be' printed and is te be further considered by thecoinmlttee having it in charge. Its op penents are te have a healing upon it. Its previsions however nie gencially se well considered that it is net likely that any material amendment will be lecemmended; though we think the bill might be improved if it required that the same late per ten pei mile shouldbe charged fei carriage betw eon points in the state, with an additional terminal charge. This would pievent discrimination in local cairiage, while leaving the railroads unrestiicted in carry ing from points outside the state, wheie they compete with laiheads net under remiElvanias contiel. The measure however as it stands is geed enough for a beginning. The third section should have "companies and corporations" inseited after "individuals," se that discrimination shall be prohibited between "transporta tion companies and Individuals, companies and corporations." There ought te be no great dilllculty in reaching a geed understanding as te what the previsions of an anti-disci iminatien bill should be. The railroad managers, who propose te deal fairly and honestly with the people, should welcome a law that will put all railroad managers undef bends te de what the well meaning ones dosire te de. A law which w ill control the evil-minded te geed conduct is needed that the well-disposed may de what they think "light. "We have- no reason te believe that the present management of the chief I'ennsjl- vania railroads will kick against such an anti-discrimination law as that which has been reported. The Pennsvlvania railroad direction is cleaner than it has been. Ne Eeiwind, "White & Ce. f.iverit isms are now new charged against it. The temper of the time3 will net enduresuch things ; and it is a very geed period te inaugurate the doc dec tiine that railroad companies are the peo ple's sen-ants, created te de their busi ness en equal terms nnd te be just te all their customers. Such a law as that proposed ought te be warmly welcomed by the leputable rail road manager. It .adds respectability te Ids elhce and is a bulwark against charges of wrong-doing, which cannot but be pain ful te honorable men. If it takes some thing from his power it adds much te his peace, and secures him a geed name that has been raie te the railroad president. Seme Distinctions. Theie are no doubt some Republican office-holders who were appointed becaube of their pieeminent fitness for the places they occupy ; and who have distinguished their service by a conspicuously efficient administration of their duties, and an nyeid.mce of offensive partisanship. These have an advantage in their pos session of the eflices ever ether people who want them. There is another very large class of Re publican office-holders, who were appointed te the exclusion of Democrats simply because they were Republicans, and who, while they have behaved themselves with decency and without offense, and con ducted their eflices with a fair degree of efficiency, are no better fitted for them than their Democratic fellow citizens who were given no chance and no consideration in the competition tornppeintments. These have no advantage ever as geed and better men who are urged for their places. There is another and probably the largest class of Republican office-holders who wcre appointed te places simply because they were paitisanspand who have been retained only because "they have proved themselves offensie partisans and unscrupulous nianipulateis of IqcjiI party management." The must go ; and go quickly. But the men who want their places must remember that appointments new are te "be based upon sufficient inquiry as te fitness, instituted by these charged with that dut.v , rather than upon persistent im portunity or self-solicited recommendations en behalf of candidates for appointment." And when the new men get in they nie te bear in mind " that efficiency, fitness and dovetton te public duty are the conditions of, their contimunce in public places, and that the quiet and unobtrusive exercise of individual political rights is the reasonable measure of their party service." These aie the definitions which the presi dent himself has given of his idea of a prop erly constituted civil service. They indl cat adnnced ideas and radical departures. Rut there is nothing unintelligible and mysterious about them ; and the fate of nearly every ense can be predicted by the rigid application of these principle te the fttctsef it. t.'oed Cause Fer Removal. The iKjstmaster general, It is siitl, has telel the A'lrglnlana who are ilemanding the removal et all Mahone'a lwstmasteis hi that idate, that thejjean only be removed as their commission's expire, unless specific charges aie maele against them. This is understood nevy te be the policy of the ad ministration. It Is needless te say that it i3 one which it will be very ditli cult te carry out altogether. It is a geed ixilicy in itself, but it will re re qulie a liberal construction in its success ful establishment. It is clear tlut the Democratic party will net be willing te have all the ettlces filled by Republicans, as tbey are new, until their commissions ex- plrc. They will endnre the retention et the very well belinved ones; but tliese nre comparatively few. There nre nene down In Virginia. Mnhoue illil net have them nppelntcil te be well behaved eillcers, but te be successful paitlsaiH. Probably the Virginia Democrats can (1ml geed cause en which te babethe demaiul for the lemeval of most of the postmasters, and the pest master general will leadlly be nble te do de clde from the Inherent probability of the case, that Mahene's men are net lit men te handle Unde Sam's malls. . Whistling Down Drakes. The Democratic .senators at llanisburg have been compelled in self-defense te held a caucus and resolve te put a step te the Indiscriminate use of their names which has been sought and preruied by appli cants for appointments tofedei.tlp2sltiens. Almest since the beginning of the session they have been overrun by such impor tunate petitioners, who Infest the state capitol in person nnd wander from desk te desk soliciting themcmbeis of the legisu tuie te write lettcis and sign petitions in their behalf. Self-respecting persons of cotnse should net engage in this miserable business ; but it lias become such a unlvei-h.il custom that many decent men, no doubt, who nic im pelled te make known their desiie te held office, think theie is no way of getting it except by piecuring a great string of names te their petitions and a bag full of letters which have been fur nished upon their own tu gent solicitation. The president has made a eiy biead inti mation that such Influences we net te con cen con teol appointments under his adininlstia adininlstia tien. IIe has been long enough in practi cal politics te knew hew the aie piecuud and what thej signify. Ceitainly it should net avail pctitieneis much te have the letters of men who de net knew them and who de net have any inteiest in the administration of the offices which they .seek. Public men who lend theii names te the lecomniend.itlen of poi sons of whom thty have no knowledge, cheapen and destiey their inlluence. The who meddle in local appointments with which the have no just concern aie im pertinent and impudent, and they should be held nt their true value. L'linmtlcr's I'liins. The lepeit that ex-Secretiuy Chandler will remain in "Washington te conduct his own newspaper, and that he will ieenge himself en his enemies in its columns, will net alarm anbedy. This distinguished jobber knows nothing el the ncwspapei business; henceitwill be impossible fei him te use it te leceustnict his own kid lepu lepu tatien. Net only Is this tine, but no Wash ington newspapei can attract attention In the ceuntiy. With a single exception the aieall theeigan3 of jobs and jebbci, of thelebb nndlebists. If it had been announced that Chandler would endeavor te use his paper te help his business as a lobbyist nnd claim agent, the approximate tiutli would have lieen e.x piessed. This man has no ether business. Ry its means he has made his money, a comfertablo feitune, and thieugh it he has been able te command some lecognltien in politics. Haing made his bed he must lie in it. It is idle fei him te insist that he will new be reenged upon his enemies bj a paper which nobody outside of Washing ten ever sees and nobody inside cares for.

When the gallant cohorts el Kentucky pressed hard upon the piesident tlie name of Phil Thompson for commissioner of internal revenue, Mr. Cleveland is le-ported te have asked if this was the same Phil Thompson who killed a fellow man net many months age.
