A rOWEK GROWN UP IN THE ST.VTR
GREATER. THAN THE STATE IV-
SELF.
From the A'. 1'. Herald.
Suck wm Ibe expression of Governor
rainier, of Illinois, in Lin uieasago to the Le
gislature on the 4th of this month. Th Gov
em or was referring to the oontrol of the rail
road corporations of the State, and iu that
connection made the above reonrk, saying,
however, that to say tho State haa not poer,
acting through the appropriate legishtive
department as determined by the constitution,
to control tho management of railroad corpo
jationa, is to assert there has grown up a
power greater than the Slate itself. Ho be
lieves the State has the power to regulate the
rates imposed by railroads as common car
riers, so as to prevent extortion, oppression,
or nnjtiNt discrimination against or in favor
of localities or individuals, or to investigate
their management and prevent the employ
xuent of vast sums of money under their con
trol for purposes of corruption. No doubt
the separate States fcave this power
over railroads within their limits, and
we believe the Federal Government has
similar power over the great lines that
run through the different States under the
clause of the Oonstitution that gives it power
to regulate commerce among the several
States. These railroad lines are as much the
arteries of commerce among the States as tho
great lakes, the rivers or the sea coast. But
what is the use of talking about State Gov
ernments controlling the management of
railroads? The railroad magnates can buy
Tip almost any of the State Legislatures or
Governments. The railroads are really a
power greater than the State itself. It is a
matter of doubt even whether they cannot
control Congress or the Government at Wash
ington as well. The time is ooming, and not
far off, when the Federal Government will be
called upon imperatively by the people to
protect them from the exactions and tyranny
of the railroad corporations and to oontrol
these powerful institutions. Governor
Palmer has sounded the note that will awaken
attention and opposition to a dangerous and
overbearing monopoly.
SrANISII INFLUENCE AT WASHINGTON.
From the X. Y. Sun.
The two letters of Secretary Cox which
were put in evidence in the late trial of the
case of the steamer Florida, seized for an
alleged violation of the neutrality laws, are
remarkable as showing the glaring contradic
tion between the professions of the adminia,
t ration and its actions towards the Cuban'
patriots. Mr. Cox says explicitly to General
Darr, the owner of the Florida, that the
Government cannot legally and will not stop
the shipment from this port, as merchandise,
of articles contraband of war, and that it is
only against the fitting out of naval or mili
tary expeditions that the neutrality laws ope
rate. This is undoubtedly the true doctrine,
and it has constantly been acted upon in this
port by Spain itself, and by the agents of
France. It matters not what the nature of
merchandise may be whether it be provi
sions, or guns, or gunpowder, or clothing,
or any other articles useful for military pur
poses so long as it is nothing but merchan
dise, neutrals may lawfully ship it to amy bel
ligerent they please, taking, of course, their
own risk of its safe delivery to the pur
chasers. But this being so, how does it happen that
every time the Cubans here attempt to send
arms and ammunition to their friends in
Cuba our Government officiously steps in
and seizes their vessel? Here is the Florida,
detained in this port for months merely be
cause she was loaded with articles calculated
to be of service to the Cuban army. She was
not even going to Cuba, but to Vera Cruz,
-a port in Moxioo; and her detention was ut
terly unjustifiable. There is not a particle of
evidence that she was to carry men, or
to undertake any naval operations against
Spain. The only possible explanation of
this exhibition of superservioeable zeal is
to be found in the fact that Mr. Sidney
Webster a member of the law firm of Web
ster & Craig, which has been hired to do the
dirty work in this country of Spanish despot
ismis the son-in-law of the Secretary of
State, and abuses his relationship to manipu
late the machinery of the Government to his
own benefit. Then there is the bribe-taker
Bancroft Davis also in the State Department,
who has been in the scheme with Webster to
procure the purchase by the United States ef
Cuba from Spain, that they may share in the
fat commissions which are lo be made by the
transaction. These are the reasons why
Cuba is so unjustly treated by the adminis
tration, and why her agents and friends are
persecuted with such unremitting malignity.
TnE MOTLEY SCANDAL.
Votn the X. Y. World.
Mr, Morton, wuo is now the administration
henchman in foreign affairs, has introduced
into the Senate a resolution intended to un
fold to publio gaze the dirty linen of the Mot
ley affair. It will be observed that it was a
partisan of the President one supposed to
get inspiration in such matters direotly from
the White lfouse who initiated the eiposure
of this personal muss in the Republican ranks
to the gaze of Great Britain and the Conti
nent of Europe. Much as a truthful inner
history will, we doubt not, tend to the fur
ther just disgrace of the administration, we
would have preferred that the whole corre
spondence remain among the buried and secret
archives of this Government. Exposure may,
and doubtless will, injure both Grant and
Motley in publio estimation; but, by a sort of
reflex action, it will at the same time tend to
harm the good name of the republic Now,
however, that the administration deemed it
neoessary or prudent for its own interests to
make a portion, at least, of the scandal pub
lic, we are glad that Mr. Sumner endeavored
to put a probe to the core of the sore, and
thereby bring out even the bottom ferment
of the putrid matter. This journal, on the
announcement of Mr. Motley's appointment,
characterized it as it deserved, and since then
it haa not failed on proper occasions to repeat
and to enforce our estimation of Mr. Motley's
fitness. If Grant had himself been suitable
either for nomination or election to be Presi
dent, be would by personal observation or
inquiry at first discovered that of whioa only
a few months ag0 he cave publio evi
dence he had learned. It is the general iui-
preasiou mat air. ssainner initiated and first
presented to Grant's mind the oroieot of
making Mr. Motley Minister to Eniland. We
are curious to know if that be really so, and
we hope the ceming correspondence, or the
debate thereon, willuncover the fact. There
are those who insist that the aDuaintniant
of Motley was a Bcheme born iu Grant's
.brain out of the Andrew Johnaonphobi
which had possession therein during the
enrly days of bis official lifo ns President;
tht he toon discovered bis mistake, and con
templated the appointment instead of Mr.
Join Jay, now Minister in Vienna; and that
it was this last proposition which aroused the
forces of Mr. Sumner to secura Motley, not
because he especially vindicated the fitness of
the latter, but preferred him to Mr. Jay.
TheD, too, in regard to the S itnner Rpeech
upon the JobEson-Chrendon treaty in the
Senate, the pnblio wtis told at the time that
Grant bonsted he had read the publication
three times, and Agreed therewith entirely.
Is this so ? There iue many other points of
this unfortunate controversy which, if it is
ts bp exposed et all, tho public will bo dosirous
to know all about, but which we have not
time to particularize nt this moment. Of one
item, however, everybody will wish to be in
foimed; which i.?. at what period and on what
point did tho oiffcrences between Grnnt and
Motley, on the one hand, and Grant and
Sumner, on the other hand, boin; and why
was Motley removed at the time he was,
rather than fat another time ?
A CliY OF THE INCURABLES.
F,om the A. 1". Tribune.
Few of our public or State charities are
more neglected than the asylums for the
inpane. They are inadequate in number and
size, and painfully defective in their organi
zation. The latest reports show that they
are fiigLtfully overcrowded, the New York
City A6luin, for instance, having more than
1200 patients, tkough originally built to ac
commodate but ('i(H). There ore only seven
of these institutions in the Stato, of which
the one here is the largest, and these are ex
pected to care for over 1)000 patients.
As now organized, the State asylums are
merely hospitals for tho cure of the insane.
We have in the whole State not a single
home for the numerous incurables. After
six months, when the insane patients are pro
nounced inourable, they are, by law, expelled
from the asylums, as no lougor having the
legal qualifications for residence. They are
returned to their friends, if they happen to
have any, or to the counties whence they
came, if they are doubly unfortunate in
being pauper patients. What happens to
them in this event is too horrible to imagine.
The great majority are prematurely buried
in the "insane departments" of the county
workhouses. Here, in damp, dark, unfur
nished cells, which are seldom cleansed,
without beds, or even straw, to lie up an, the
unfortunates are abandoned to dia, without
medical attendance, and little care of any
kind. In every county work-house iu this
great and wealthy State, from ten to one
hundred and fifty incurables are thus left to
perish miserably within the shadow of
v. ealthy churches and tho hearing of Chris
tian voices.
The Legislature last winter made an appro
priation to aid in the building of an addi
tional institution at Middletown, which should
be at once a hospital for the cure of the tem
porarily insane and a home for incurables.
The charter was granted to an association of
Homeopathic physicians, and the design is
that all patients received shall be subject to
that treatment. If successful in their object,
these gentlemen will have built and organ
ized the only Homeopathic Asylum for "the
Insane known to exist in the world.
THE MONOPOLY QUESTION.
Fr m the Chirago Post.
The question of monopoly, as presented by
the operations of warehouse, railway, and
transportation companies, is one of the, most
important which will come before the Gene
ral Assembly of Illinois, now in session. It
is one in regard to which there are acknow
ledged difficulties, both theoretical and prac
tical. No subject is so lengthily discussed
by Governor Palmer in his message, and
there is evidently none to which he has de
voted more careful study or more profound
reflection. The settlement of the question
involves considerations of national law. It
invokes principles lying at the very founda
tion of our political system. It touches upon
the principles of those great questions which
brought war and all its woes upon this coun
try, and which are yet settled more by virtae
of force than willing agreement.
Nor are the practical difficulties less appa
rent than thoee which go to the reason of the
issue. The immense operations of railway
companies, their vast moneyed power, their
transactions extending through dm event
States have brought forth new material, new
commercial questions, which came directly
home to all the people every day. And these
new facts make absolutely necessary either
the establishment of new legal principles and
jurisdiction, or the extension of the applica
tion of old principles and jurisdiction to such
a degree as fairly to amount to a new system.
The plan recommended by the Governor
of Illinois for the settlement of this whole
question of railway warehouse monopoly is
the creation of a Board of Commissioners
with full powers in the premises. This plan
has been suggested by eminent statesmen
whohave given the subject their attention,
and it is entitled to fair consideration, and
perhaps actual trial. This is certain: That
the General Assembly should leave no rea
sonable remedy against the monstrous evils
by which the people are afflicted untried.
That a board of commissioners, with ample
powers to try and settle all questions of the
kind, if composed of thoroughly intelligent
men of unquestionable integrity, would ac
complish great good, perhaps succeed in cur
ing the evils entirely, we may well believe.
The proposed plan should receive the most
careful consideration irom tne legislature,
and whether it be adopted or not, something
efficacious should be done. Otherwise, it
will not be many years till the people, en
masse, will practically take hold of the ques
tion and settle it by the utter overthrow of
every monopoly of the sort under notice.
REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION.
fYem the X. Y. Times.
There are several very satisfactory state
ments in Mr. Greeley's address on the oooa
sion of his accepting the chairmanship of the
Republican General Committee. He said,
for instance: "I cannot afford to be identi
fied with a faction: if I act at all it must be
in the interest and with the approval of the
entire party."' This deoision would lead us
to Buppose that Mr. Greeley will not go on
long without finding many things to object
to in the course, of men like Manierre, Smith,
and Andrews, who are receiving the devil's
nav. and consequently, it is to be presumed.
are doing the devil's work. That sort of hire
ia seldom triven without due service for it
being performed. Again, Mr. Greeley give
the following rlediie: "Let me here say
frankly that I, for one, shall in no case dis
pute the authority nor defy the mandates of
the State Committee, even though it should
direct that this committee be disbanded or
suDtrseded." An assurance of this kind is
only what we have a right to expect from one
whose devotion to the Republican party
ought not to be questioned, although the
wisdom of his judgment may bo fairlj open
to suspicion, like that of every other publio j
man.
The main point to be decided is whether,
under present circumstances, men who are in
the pay of Tammany are fit to take a lea ling
and responsible part in directing the counsels
of the Republican party. There was a time,
no doubt, when the question was of less im
poitsnce than it is now. But Tammany, as
wo krow it to-day, has forfeited all claim to
be treated as a political organization, in the
ordinary interpretation of thoso words.
It is simply a vehicle for oblite
rrtirg truly . popular government, and
enlarging the fortunes of half a dozen
men. It is identified with fraudulent gov
ernment, a corrupt judiciary, and a dishonest
application of the public money. No one
can doubt these facts. They ha"ve been ad
mitted freely in Deniocralio journals, and
time aggravates the evils rather than cures
them. With Tammany, therefore, no trne
Republican can possibly havo anything in
cimiLon. If a Republican enters its service,
it is because he has been unable to withstand
the corrupt influences which an unlimited use
of money has placed at the service of Sweeny
and bis friends. The harder a man works
for Tammany, the further doc-B he place him
self outside his own party.
LOW WAGES FOLLOW A LOW TARIFF.
From the lialtimore American.
Continually we meet sectional prejudice
from our growing sister States of the West,
supported by an occasional throb of disap
probation from the reconstructed section
that, being agriculturalists and producers of
the precious metals, to support a protective
tariff is direct opposition to their immediate
interests.
How vain to speak of sectional interests
when everything advantageous to one por
tion of this glorious Union in so extended
a sense is necessarily so of the whole !
"What makes the great inducement to poli
tical leaders of the outs to seize on this sub
ject for agitation to further their ends is,
that it involves questiots and principles of
which none but the initiated few are at all
cognizant. Those governing the balance of
trade, supply and demand, capital and labor,
os well as the mediums of exchange and legal
tenders. Naturally the plausible side of any
question that we elo not thoroughly under
stand is the one we accept, when ingeniously
presented to us.
If foreign manufactures are admitted duty
free, the low rates of labor in European
marts enable the foreign producers to furnish,
them at much lower prices than any of our
manufacturers can possibly compete with. Of
course, the result would be paralyzing of all
manufacturing interests at home.
The millions now congregated at the great
centres in such a case would bo compelled to
disperse through the rural districts in search
of subsistence; and the great markets for
grain, beef, etc., would be destroyed. Of
course we are told that the foreign market
will be open so it is to-day, so it would be
with even higher duties. England, Germany,
and France will never be so magnanimous
towards this country as to purchase from us
articles they do not require, and if they want
breadstuff's to-day tkey will buy them; and
thus enable us to preserve the equilibrium of
trade.
If we were purchasing from them thou
sands where to any we buy only hundreds,
the balance of trade must necessarily be
againbt us, and that balance is to be continu
ally made up by specie exports.
The failure or remunerative employment
for capital reduces all demand for labor, and
as the law of supply and demand is self-acting,
the price of all labor must necesiarily
fall. Then, with a contracted currency, the
result of a specie basis to which we are im
mediately forced by ow heavy dealings with
foreign markets and a continuous drainage of
specie, caused by the excessive balance of
trade against us we are left without capital,
without a currency, without employment for
our many stalwart forms, and without bread
for the many hungry mouths. Ultimately,
commercially and nationally bankrupt, with
out friends; we had almost said without foes.
But, alas! the buzzards always seek the car
case. The natural opposition of tyranny to free
dom would, of necessity, bring down upon
us, like birds of prey, all the ruling powers
of Europe. Then, America, the beacon light
to which the oppressed of the world have
ever looked with hope for the future, would
be reduced to a third-rate power.
