THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL THURSDAY. APRIL 8 1875.

THURSDAY. APRIL 8.

Major Johnson, of 'Cincinnati, wai denounced by tbo Enquirer as chief cf Ite bummers. As a tatural consequence c! tho KnqHrer'a cntiptthy, Mr. Johnson finds himself chosen once more to fill the hlgiieot cMze la the g ft of the municipality. There is a great deal of writing about tbo T jverr.or'a defense or the legislature, cut an air.sziiiz lack ot facts or aruaasnts to dis prove bis conclusions. If the republicans had somebody who could write a letter in answer to the roverncr'e.then it might have some tendency to counteract the effect? cf that document. The trouble seem io oe that both the man and the materials are wantlnz. A) for this continual flux of tdl torlal verba tine re it ouzht to be stopped. or, nniiinM tr thfl crovcrnor. but must ba rather Iniuriom to the newspapers Tie crowded conJ.tion of the Sentinels k limns prevents any extended com meet upon the elections. It ia sufll eint to say that Connecticut has given a sweeping democratic victory. No moro frAlIantresp3r.se to; the national verdict of oof rii nnl.l ha asked than that in . v i out - given ly the land of eteady habit. ConnecticQt may henceforth bs eet cbwn as a dibllcclkely democratic state. The result is peculiarly gratifying inasmuch as Greene, the republican canui late for governor, ran as the representative of the administration, end won his nomina tion by tho felly which he committed while mayor cf Norwich, ci firing a hundred coca In honor cl the triumph of military usurpation In Iouii Jana. The champion was as contemptible as tue cause he advocated. Ingersojl, wLo 13 chosca governor by a nrsjority considerably lar3r than that of last year, is a man whose success Is an honor to tte party and the state. Tho changes in the corgrcsslcnal repreaentation is most marked. It stood in -the list conre-s three republicans and ono democrat. It now stands three demoocrati and one republican. Landers has beaten Ilawley in the first district; Thelps hasbeeten Kellogg in the second; Fot tar has failed in the third, and Barnum has beaten Ilubtard in the fourth. The Sentinel can not help, even in its first thrill cl triumph, expressing a Bincore regret over the defeat cf General Jo-.eph R. Ilawley. It Is net unbecoming to pay a tributo to a gallant adversary, anl no democrat should rail to acknowledge him a manly and libertl minded opponent lie has proved bimse, -within the pa-it year, not merely.an honest and able congressman, but a credit to American manhood. Ills overthrow is prolab'y due, like that of Ellis II. Roberta, in the Utica district of New York, to the enmity of the administration. The municipal elections in various parts o! the union are very favorable as far as heard from. The rnofct Important, to-wit: Cin cinnati and Evansville, are overwhelmingly democratic in their result?. In the former city it would seem that the Johnson majority of a year ago is nearly doubled. The Transportation Question. In the confessed failure of the Saratoga eompp.ct of tho leading railroads of the country there are several lessons of interest to the country. That co cabin at iou was the bent fruit cf tho most' cipable talent In railroad afiTitrato fix arbitrary and inflexible ratrs on all lines. The ni5i who deviäöd the plan nndcrstood practically tbo nature and difficulties of tho undertaking. With a diilareut object ia viow, thoy tidrefd the-melves to pr3cis3ly the tiamo problem which tba Yvest?rn grangers have clamored Tor, and which so many leaiilatures have vainly grappled. The lattor pro posed tt oj-tabllsa arbitrary low rates, tbo forioer unil.rmly high rates, but both doeirel to control rates by outside administra- i tlon. The effort of th9 railroad magnates wa? wis?, fys'ematio and practical, that of the pcop'io has been wild, random likeiand impracticable. The fact that the former have utterly tailed and abandoned the task may be instructive to these less competent beta in skill and inüaence. Tho brief and vexed attempts of tha western ommis ioners upon whom i be Important duties devolve! ot carrying cut the Saratoga scheme brought conspicuously to view one question: viz. who are in fact the managers ol the railroads? Who are they that fix the rates and control fco freight contrac s of the road? The direct and plausible answer will be the president and directors of the company. Nominally, this is the case; in reality, it Is fir from the truth, and so far from it, that herein lie the moit formidable obstacles to the eaforcsment of any compact or. Echf dnla. A railroad corporation manages an unwieldy business. Its operations diflVr essentially from those of a manufacturing or even a steamship company. The fiäld ot operation extends ever hundreds of miles, it is complicated by many local conditions rf quiring, absolutely, great dicre:lonary powers, which mut, ot necessity, be in tho hzndicf the employes, and baine?s requires almost hourly modl- , dia to en3r?3cta4 which no or plan can lu!ly antici- " best he can, working day and nresllent of a railroad can ni'til cf responsibility to -e than the general of rushed for a concompany de--d tht too

ra'--ir ih contract can i-o

AJß aJAf v " countermanded, the work U done, the goods have been transferred. What remedy then lies? None, but to dUcharga the employe and tire another, probably rot a valuable, who would go directly and do the very Fame thir-r. Tha truth is that the agents and employes have more to do with cantrolling the practices oi a ruau that at first appear?, and there sooxs to be no help for It. Another point established U that the consolidated moncpoly of railroad power which has greatly excited the apprehensions of some, is not a probable contingency. Competition exists beyond the power of scheming selfinterest to overcome. In this great and final effort to form a union, one great road, the Baltimore A Ohio, marred the plot and destroyed the rercote&t chance of success. It is less than ever probable that the different competing interests will ever again come as near to unanimity of action as they did at Saratoga. And the fearful may dismiss from their minds tbe terrois ol a. united oDnres&ion consutlus of all the railroad Interests of the country. Mean time, the competitors are now cutting and Uaebing tt each ether, the watercourses are opening, and freights will be as cheap as they can be, or as they ought to be, until tho cost of carriage is in some way reduced hplnw ttn nrfEent possibilities. Thero is said to bo fG5,OCO,000 bushels of wheat in the bands of Western farmers to-day, which can find a sufficiently remunerative market t which It will move within the next four months. It will be replaced by ?5O,C0O,COO at least, of money, which must be felt sen sibly and lavorably In the west. It has been acknowledged by all who have carefully considered tbe causes of Ireland's decline, that one of the great sources of ber weakness was tbe continuous drain upon her capital, made necessary by the residence of her wealthy men In foreign countries. Thiseril is so common that a word has b3en eet apart In the language to describe it, and absenteeism Is tho specific term for tho desertion of bis native land by an Irish gentleman. The process by which absenteeism brings about national ruin la very simple and easily understood. For Instance, supposo the caso of an Irish lacdJd proprietor, whose income amounts to 100,000 a year, and who spends his lime' In England or Italy. The people on bis estates labor without ceasing to pay their rent, and all their surplus production, instead of being turned into fixed capital, cr expended In the sup prt of tative industry, Is sent en to a foreign country. It U there squandered in tho purchase of every luxury, and In the patronage of foreign trades men. The land i3 exhausted and labor is wasted, and no improvement or advance in prcsperi'y gives evidence of tho unremit ting toil of the people. To put it briefly: What the Irish peasantry earn is devoted to the good of other lands. This illustration is used by way of introduction to the discus sion of a growing evil In modern American life, namely, tho passion for European travel which has taken possession of our people slnco the cloeo of the wer. Wien this epidemic for making foreign tours firtt ht in, no one would bav6 dreamed of regarding it as leading to any serious financial rnUlortunos, and we were Incaned labe less 'armed over the amount of money spent abroad by American traveler?,than over the foreign airs and graces with which they returned. There was les3 notice given to their foreign clothes and fancy goods than to their outlandish assump ticnof trans-Atlantic manners. It would have been thought more ridiculous to sup pose their extrayaganco could attot the prosperity of tbe country than to assume that their folly could taint our republican Institutions. The financial distress of the past two years ha3, however, led to the serious cocsiderstion of every source of national waste and expenditure, and it is simply amazing to estimate the loss we are enduring through American absenteeism. The New York Times, In treating ol this suljtct, makes the following estimate: Fifteen steamer leave the ports cf the United 8 al3 weekly for Kurop3. E'icb hteamrr ca' rle3 on an averajoiify pnengera -ncii trip. That makes a total xouu per yer of n.rly -ID.txo per.-ocs, whtca 1 a low es'lmac Suppose eac i pt-rson spends abroad a thousand doiiurs, lu ten years four bumiied million o: Coüan ia goUl have been l ist t, tbe country, whicti H i laced In clrculatl n bere would go far iown:d solving the vexed aaentlonü that aro cot slanlly HrWImr out of the or press d coudltlon of trade. Gent itmen who are In a position U ftpemc aul'ioritatlvelyi believe that ellH hundred inlllious would bo much nearer the mark. They say that tbe avera.i Kurorte n toorist ppend a trreat dnl more t ha 'l a tbouaand dollars In arilcies which he could J ast as weilpurchnsa at home. From which it may be seen that the great wealth-giving tide of emigrants pouring into the country is almost overbalanced by the tide of wealth squandering tourhti pouring out of it. It has been estimated that e&cb emigrant i?, economically considered, worth f 1,000, and therefore each tourist may be re garded, from the political economists stand point, as killing off one emigrant. The direct and indirect results of this mania for forajgn travel aro very well put by tbe Times: In a short time the custom of furnUhlna houses trom Pari, of pnrchasirjr, crockery In Dresden, of wearing dre-s of Worth's tleslzuliiK. ot rMli'g out In Kds? tsh eqrlpat-, of keepIn arunnlu: nct-ount with Klk lh tailors, and cf educating chl dren at Kuropean schools spread among all classes of the wealthier portl n of tbe eommuulty. Custom house official say that they can ko to the C'uuar.J wharf on auy day of the arrival rf a sieamer from Fngland la the buny season aud count tlu.uu to worth of Imported grods that pay no duty. In- plain Rlut, to ay nothing or the p i henger'a bas?aii?. Every pfrson of the 3tX) on board has au umbrella iu his band, eicti ot which la wort h f lo. come carry t wo, anderen three. Many have cosily walking Micks. Kv ry man has an opera gla-s tlUDg acios bis shoulder and a fancy rug aero bis arm. All cirry ucdtitlab waiche n their pocket; all are attired la unduiiable forelgn-mado clothing: all wear undutlahU foreign -made hats. The wonitn bavo camel's hair hawU on tbeir bck, aud f-rtln-i)oi:ghi jewelry to any extent they choobe on tuelr poisons." It becoin?3 a p.eriou3 quesiion, what can bo done to stay this expenditure of American money abroad. Of coarse nothing can to done directly to discountenance foreign travel, snd, Inieed, it may be said, that there Is much to be gainai by having fo many of our eople brought into contact with older civilization?, but an etlort may bo made to check indirectly the extravagance ot the tge In this ro;ar J by trying ts reebtabliso the old idea that a man may be a very respectable American who ba3 never

! ffn a f-nrri?n e.-mri. As for the Darchau of

foreign goods by travelers, which is becom ing tuch a drain upon our resources, it may be considered the legitimate result of the tariff legislation now in operation. That system is supposed to protect American mechanics and tradesmen from foreign competition, and yet tho result cf it Is to prevent the Importation of foreign coods and drive tho wealthiest class of buyers to foreign markets. The products of European labor can not come to American market?, and so Americans go after them to European markets. We know of one individual who justified bis habit of running over to England every two or three years by the plea that be could save nearly enough by buying clothing In London to pay the expenvs ol tho voyage. In congress last winter Sur&ct Cox referred to a suit of clothes which he wore as having been purchase! in Montreal at half the American market rates, and to long as outside markets offer such advantages tho American abroad will cot hesitate to recompense himselt for bis traveling oatlay by making extensive purchases. More than one consideration gives poict to tbe query : Does protection protect? . .. i The Journal of Monday rmde a ildicu lou3 attempt to answer Gov. IIendricks'3 letter on the work ot tho last legislature The editorial is very long and contains ss rmny blunders as the diffuse t-tvlo cf tho wiiters would allow them to pack into two It could not. of course, have been tbe work ol ceo man, as tbe following extracts will show. In tho first column, where the design is to rob the democrat c auditor of the credit of drawing up the assessment act of 1S72-73, the Journal discour8ethin this fasbiori: The governor credits Mr. ex-Andltor Shoemaker ith the assessment act. He Is as ranch entitled to that credit a he Is to the authorship of the institutes of Menu. The principle of cash assessments was recommended by Auditor K.vacs. by the fcta e board of equalization of I by the press of this city, and by a icore of incontrovertible letttr. belore Mr. bboemake. got into the aaditor'6 office, there isbometbing a Utile bit Breaking In this attempt to give a democrat mdU for what was eenerHl property be lore he was ever beard f. But it is very like Mr. lUndrtcks.tnat must be adaii ted. As tor the verbiage of tbe act, that is a copy of the I;liuois law, as we noticed yesterday. In the second column where the desigu is to magaify ths work of the legislature of 1872-3, tho Journal declares, with a remarkable lack of that excellence of memoiy cecesisry to one wto violates truth: The number of bills. Governor Hendricks knows ndghty well, means nothing at all, and be glances al aud then dodges the fact In the remaik that "many of them were cf no npeo alimpoitance.'' TLeaHe8menl act of lh.3 cntatus fTwr .orfer than all the bills of put tcgeiher, and is wortk them ail put together. When tho Journal can gsther a lew facts and stop contradicting itself in parallel col umns it will be time enough to answer :t. As for tto credit fcr the assessment act, the Sen tinel settled that question last summer by quoting the vote of thanks tendered to Mr. Shoemaker by tbe republican committee which reported the till exactly as he draited It.

COVEIlNOR HF.NDKICKS H T.V.i-P .v-;SH TO A LETTf.R Flt"M THE KD1TOK F THI! UKKALD IN liKOARD TO TUE t'EMKXMili CKI.EDRATION. The editor of tho N?v Yor'f IleraUl hav ing addressel a letter to the executive head of each of ti e states in regard to the contennial celebration at Philidelphia In 1S76, Governor Hendricks responded as follows for Indiana: In reply to so much of your letter as relates to my views in respect to tho centennial exhibition, I b'gyon will allow me lo insert the following passage from my rnesage to the general assem bly, which was recently In st&fdon: On the 3d day of March, 1871, an act of coneress was adortsd declaring that St behooveB tho peo ple ut tto united states to celebrate by ap propriate ceremonies the centennial an n Ivorsary"' of the signing and promulgation of tho declaratiou or tbe independence or I be United States, and that it is appropriate ti commemorate the coinpleiion of the first century of our national existeuc by an ex hibition ot the natural resources of the country and of our progress in those arts which benent mankind in comparison w;th older natioLS, and declaring also tbati4the exhibition should be a national celebration in which tho people of the wi-ole country should paitWipate," and that it should have the sanction of the congress ot the United St ites. In accordance with that dec Jarati..n the act of corgress provided: "Tii.tt an exhibition of American and foreign arts, product ana manufacture shell co held, under tt e auspices oi the government ot the Ur 1'ed Stat s. in the city cr i'DiiaJeipnia, in the year 1S76." Provision was made for a commission to execute tbe will of congress so declared. The organization has been completed, and the state of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia have appropri ated large sums of MONEY TO AID THE ENTERPRIEF. The work of preparation has been commenced and is rapidly advancing. Tbe de signs contemplate an exhibition suitable for the great occasion. The act ot congress has committed our country and the people to the celebration. A failure would cause us national humiliation. Success will gratify our national pride aud, at the same time, prom- te our prosperity by attracting tne people and wesl'li ol otücr cou nines. 1 recommend that you mke such provision aa will secure to tbe people of Indiana and their interests a full and advantazeoua renresentaion. In ac cordauco with my recommendation the legislature, on tbo-16tn day of this month,

appropriated the sum cf Sj.000,to teexpenced uud3r ray diroctiou, witä tto assistacco of tho t-Ut geolcgist. for the purpose rf meetins; the expent-o ot collecting and forwardins kpecineca ol the inanuficturicji, chemical ar.d mfchnnical inJu.tries, and also of the coals, ore?, c'.avF, woods and stones and of tho sgricuitura!, horticultural, llorsl and other products of this it ate. I have not yet decided upon the mode of proceeding in th execution of this law. The lang uaso uidiCitfs the general purpose. As lar as the means at my command will enahlnme, and a far a? I ca enlis: coiporct s and individu.il enterprise in tte work, I will tetk to have Indiana fully represented iu all Lor Important interc:?. During last yer boards were oraniz?d for this tut, auxiliary to the national management. Tneir purpote is to aid the enterprise, both financnlly and by a credible display cf product et the exhibition. The boards are cotrposrd of ccntlemeu of influence with tho peopiasnd of personal enterprise. I hopo they wiil be able ttrtct organization, and ther&by tj acconifli?h uaucb.
