THE SUN, FRIDAY. JUNE 27, 1 FIIIDAY, JUNK 27, 1800. J' I-ondon omcMOfTIIK BUS. ill communleatlonn nlmuld be eddreiied to rnArTK W1I1TK, 4JJ ritrniid London, 0 5 1 The Trunk Line Meeting. Tlio Presidents of tho Trunk I-iInes meet to- day, nnd wo presume they will devolo somo I I nttoutlon to tlio Grand Trunk Itatlwny of 1 Canada, wlilcli, under tho protection of tlio 5 Oovornmont nt Washington, has again teen stealing tho business of tho Amorlcan lines.

ft Through tho operation of tho Intor-Htnto i i Commoroo act, tho Grnnd Trunk, which Is 1 exompt from tho oppresslvo provisions of that unnecessary nnd unjust moasure, Is i leaving nothlnif undono to destroy rates and rendor business Inaccuro or worthless. i i AVo do not know what tho l'rosldonts of our Trunk Lines Intend to do about It, 1 hoy 9 seem to to bo tncapablo of orgnulrcd re-jy I slstnnco and to hold naoh other cither In such mistrust or such Jealous regard tiint jj they are unablo to net In concort for tholr own common protection. Their eoureo I horetoforo with regard to tho Grand Trunk brings forcibly to mind thut remarkablo Sj animal of tho African forestwhlch Mr. Stan-E has so signally failed to record, and 9 which, whon attacked by an enemy, at onco retaliates by cutting ItH own throat. Whon-sj I ever the Grand Trunk, in collusion with lost honest allies in Chicago nnd dishonest and unworthy railroad munugors In this city or a in Boston, has inado successful raid on tho fj i legitimate business of tlio Trunk Lines, they htvo promptly protected themselves nnd retaliated upon tho Grand Trunk by making unprofitable nnd worthless what bus.ness remained to tliom.

Their stockholders aro jj very tired of this sort of business, and tho Igoncral publlo Is tired of It too. For tho former It has resulted in diminished Income cm I and frustrated expectations; and for the lat- 91 tcr In general sense of Inbocuilty of trado i and that Instability of rutos and pi Ices which Is most pi ejudlclal to eonimerclnl progress. Ill It Is about time, therefore, that the trus- Mt I tecs of tlio gieal rntlrouils of the country Bj should bury their piivato animosities, nt Hi least long enough to take up aims against I i this bankrupt nnd disreputable corpoiatlon, which, backed by tho unfriendliness of the jn I Canadian Government toward all our fij I Interests, robs and pillages us at its flj i pleasure. Our inllro.ul mon hhould bear in mind that they nro between two dangerous foes tlio Canadian on tho a one side nnd tho Intor-Stato Commerco 8 Comml'bton on thnollDT. If tho Canadian 8 concern succeeds in tcducing r.ites to a ia i wholly ruinous and unpiolltnble point, tho Commission at Washington Is.qulto capable of Joining hnuds wilh it and making thoso ruinous rates permanent.

This lssetloualy MS monnt, and every railroad manager In the country knows It Is true, nnd knows thut the 5 Intor-Stato Commission Is at this very mo- i ment seeking In another but like direction fj to do this very thing. 8 It Is time, therefore, that our rullroad manageis should adopt somo ndoquate measures for tho exclusion of tho Canadian 8 roads, whether they seek to enforce tho I licensing ldoa, already proposed as an amendment to tho Intor-Stato law, or pro- coed, as we hove often urged, to shut them out wholly from our territory. Thoy can accomplish either if only they address themselves properly to the task. It Is lnconcelvablo that tho Government of this country can al- i ly never before was a spectacle presented to I I bring people to their senses like thnt fif- i forded by tho cnnditlou of our transcontl- I Dental traflle, held under foot by the Gov- ernmrntof the Unltod Htntes, whlloan nllon and hostile freeb'ioter loots It at his will. i i I Signs of Weakness In the Unionist (iov- 9 ernment.

iTho Inst week has witnessed a notablo change In tho nttitudo and In the spirit of the Unionist coalition. Although It will, no doubt, continue to oliug to oflleo with desperate tenacity, the Government 1 virtually beaten, having beonfoieed to abandon two measures whoso passngo it bad pronouiicod Indispensable. It ostensible majority of about 100 has shrunk on one occasion to 4, and was onco entirely wiied -out through iiiefllcloncy on tfto part of tho Tory whips. Tlio Ministry may bo com. pared with a ship whoso pilots have lost their bearings nnd wliobe crew la mutinous, and which manages to keep afloat only by casting ovetfKvml tho mot Important portions of the cat go.

Uy the Irish Land Purchaso bill tlio Government expected, while professedly fulllll-Ing its proinlso to provide substantial remedies for Irish grievances, to releo tho necessities of favorite landlords, and by a shrewd distribution of the huge fund nt Its disposal among purchasable tenants, to exercise considerable Influence on tho next general olectlon. This meakuro was Mr. A. J. Balkouh's specific for enrying somo of the close districts In Ireland.

Mr. Gohchkn i also had an eye to tho next appeal to the II electors In his licensing proposnls.w hlch wero i obviously Intended to array tho liquor Inter- eetonthoTorysldo. Attliobeglnnlngof tho session Lord Salisbury told his followers that the former bill mustnt all hazards bo- I i oomo a law boforo tho adjournment of Par liament; nnd nt the meeting called nt tho Carlton Club tho other day It was announced that neither this measure nor Mr. Gohohkn's licensing proposals would bo dropped, but that their passage must bo assured either by on autumn session or by a new provision that bills shall bo taken up in the next regit-lar session, not de novo, but at the point where tho provlous sosslon left them. It enn-not bo said that tho non-execution of these avowed determinations Is duo In nny degree to lukewarm support on the port of tho Liberals.

The adherents of Lord Habttnoton and Mr. Ciiamiieiilai.n stand In euoh terror of a general election, which, they foresee, will condemn them to obscurity nnd Impotence, that they snatch at nny expedient for enabling tho present Parliament to llvo out Us statutory term, Nevertheless, the Ministerial progrnmrao is a flat failure. There will be no autumn session, and so muoli opposition has been I shown by far-sighted Tories (who fear lest hotesfter they might bo hoist with their tl own petard) to carrying forward bills Into a 8 now session, that in conformity with Mr, II Glapsto.vk's buggestlon the expediency ol the proposed Innovation bus been rofcrred to a select committee, a proceeding equivalent to Its death and burial. In this predicament tho Government has formally abandoned tho Land Purchaso bill, which, If wo ever hear of It ngnln, cannot be brought up nt nil evonts before the session i of 1891. Moreover, Mr.

Gosonr.s has been forced to drop his licensing proposals, but ho btlll hoped to rivet tho publicans to tho Unionist purtyby providing for the accumu-'ntli of spe cll fund designated, or "oar-mnucd," as ho called It, for eventual application to the com' e-eition of liquor sellers who should lose their licenses. The Tories BBkW IHW HI Mill I IIIIIIHIIIII III lllllllllll wero exulting over this ncot devlco for keeping this promlso to the ar whllo breaking It to tho hope, whon up popped Mr. T. Healf.y nnd requested tho Speaker to dddo whethor this "earmarking" of funds with rcferenco to futuro legislation was constitutional. Tho 8cnkcr doclared that It was not, to tho Immense disgust of tho Unionists, who found themsehes Bprnwllng between two stools, having Irreparably alienated tho prohibitionists without making tho liquor dealers grateful oon for small favors.

Thus of tho Imposing programmo of homo legislation put forward somo months ago, nothing remains but the Tithes bill, which has been so much tinkered that It leaves tho Welsh clergy dissatisfied, whllo It has mado tho mass of tho Welsh voters moro clamorous than over for disestablishment. Dut whllo Lord Balisiiuiiy has brought humiliation on his party by his inability to pass domestic measures proclaimed of paramount Iniportnnce-notwlthstandlng his command of ahugo majority and his merciless enforcement of tho closuro ho might, llko Lord Ukaoo.nhfikld. hnvo regained prostlgo to somo extent by dazzling foreign policy. There Is certainly nothing dnz-7llng In tlio surronder of Heligoland, or in tho nssent to a wedge-llko Interjection of Gorman territory in East Africa between tho northern nnd southern possessions of the llrltlsh crown. We havo no doubt that tho Hamburger A'ncV richlen, tho organ of tho ox-Chancellor, expressed Hihmakck's ilrst Imputslvo nnd genuine opinion when It snld thnt Heligoland was well worth tho abandonment of all tho German claims In Africa.

Chancellor Caimiivi hns obtained thnt invaluable Island at good deal lower prlco. As for tho assumption of a protoctoiato ovor Zanzibar, although It Is true enough Hint Franco gnvo pretext for It In tho Tunisian afTair, it Is questionable whethor tho tlmo was well chosen for embittering tho French ro-public, when tho Newfoundland controversy lnt.fl enteied upon serious phuso. It is probable, howover, that tho pnrtltlon treaty, as a whole, will encounter no vehement ro-blstnncn in tho Houso of Commons, sinco Its prominent foituro. the cession of Heligoland, can scarcely bo objected to by Mr. Guihtone, who was so conspicuously associated with tho surrender of tho Ionian Islands to Greece.

It Is tlio Tories who nro tlio smereat critics of tho treaty, nnd It Is generally supposod to bo tho business of Government to please tho pooplo who placed It iu power, rather than tho Opposition. Ignoblo Domination. Tho Ilrst resolution of tho Windsor Hotel reformers Is an Inexcusable libel upon the Government and tho pooplo of this town: ft'jortvil That the djiclosarci of thfi wlnttr mate a frt ill app al to our cltlrana to cmanclpata tfi cltr from the Ifrnnbl domination under which a whole neratloa hat lutiered." It would bo a waste of tlmo to dwell upon tho falsity of this wholesalo libel upon tho men, many of them still honored citizens, who havo held municipal oflleo hero in tho last thirty years. Tho well-meaning parlor reformers do not know what thoy are talking about, or they would not thus iu-all the living and the dead, citizens and oflicers, by wholesale, of whom tho great majority wero upright of life and patriotic in purpose, and all of whom could tell more In ten minutes about the gnernment, the politics, and tho people of this municipality than a whole syndicate of prigs will llnd out In a lifetime. When, however, these resectable but In-Judicious gentlemen, representing what wo mny call the Ingenuous clerical, the Incurable Mugwump, and the swell Republican contingents, como to talk about emancipating this city fiom Ignoble domination, they ought to bo talked to roundly.

Good or bad, tho government of New York city lias always been wnat a majoi Ity or nt least a plurality o' the citizens have wished it to bo. Theiohfls been continual interference from Albany; but outside of that and In so far as the citizens of the town hao been allowed to govern themsehes, we hnvo hnd nothing but the domination of the pcoplo, democratic self-government. If thnt self-government la ignoble, tho voters hose creature and imago it is, must be ignoble, too. If the p.trlor reformers would carry their ideas about tho government of this municipality to the last analysis, they would llnd that In their most secret and honest thought, they legaid the people as ignoble, Ignorant, incapable of choosing good rulers or bccuring efficient nnd economical administration. For theiuloof tho pcoplo thorefotmeiB would substitute tho rulo of themselves, an oligarchy of optlmntcs, government by committees of bnventy-floor theienboiits.

Lveiy year or two these fow dozen persons tako It upon themselves to say how New Yoik city ought to bo governed, and feobiy try to persuade the common herd to admit its iufeiioilty and follow theso self-chosen leader. Yet the rulo of tho people, for tho people, nnd by the eople, Is still good enough for most of tie Inhabitants of this town. The Iteiiiedy Not In Congress, Thero nro still good many Kepubllcnns, especially In tho rural districts, who don't understand what sort of a thing tho Republican party In tho South Is, or tho methods which prevail In its management. To ttio minds of theso honest gentlemen tho plan of Federal supervision of Congress elections may oommend Itself. It Is simple and convenient to attribute tho demoralization and decay of Southern Republicanism to other than the true causos, and to oscrlbo to frauds at tlio polls what Is really tho result of the profound disgust of Southern Republicans with the domination of white scnlawugs and Ignorant negroes.

Thero Is little In tho character ami procobes of tho Southern Republican officeholders to satisfy rospeet-ablo Republicans. All that tint eho.ip Republican politicians of tho South want bi-sldtts the Federal pntronogo is to keop thj party small, mid ho retain tholr hold on It In moro than ono Southern State, tho Republican party consists of a body of olllcs-holders. The decent whit) Republicans have no uso for it, Tiie negroes, now that tho novelty of voting has worn off, havo no great Interest in the fortunes of a fotv politicians. Resides, they luvo found out that they nro expected to furnish tho votes whllo the white politicians enjoy tlio offices. Mr.

John T. Kzkll was nxcntly nominated for Attorney-Uoiieriil of Alabama by the Republican Convention of that State. He has declined tho nomination inn letter which should bo Instructive reading for Northorn Republicans. I wish to mako it public," ho writos, that I cannot accept tlio nomination for Attornoy-Geneial tendered recently by thu llrtpublle.ni Convention, I um a Republican, and I would feol It un honor to aocopt tho nomination mide by it Convention of the Ropubllcnn pnrty. As an eyewitness, I know that tho lecent meeting nt Montgomery was not such a Convention, oxceptlng a few gentlemen who were thero by mistake.

It wnsn mooting of negro poll-tlclnns nnd deputy collectors. An Instantaneous photograph of that meeting would bo a political education to Ihoxo In power who mode such a meeting possible. If tho time comes when such assemblages are not recognized as representing tho party, a Convention could nnd would assemble in Alabama that would at least command tho respect of tho country." Republicans who Book tho causo of the weakness of tholr party In tho Southern States may find It Indicated In Mr. Ezkll'b letter. Under tho control of a coterie of officeholders nnd oflleo soekers, It must ro-maln Incnpiblo of growth.

Mr. Rowr.LL and Mr. Hkniiy Caiiot Lodok and Mr. Rf.ed cannot forco It Into strongth nnd growth by giving the counting of tho votes to boards of Federal officeholders. Tho romedy does not llo In Congress.

It lies with tho Southern Republicans thomsolvos, although a Republican President who thought moro of build-ln up tlio party than of building a machine ol his own could help a good deal. Wo l'lend Once More With tho Citrls. Fifty-two young women wero graduated from the Training Department of tho Normal Collcgo on Wednesday, mid 271 from tho collcgo proper on Thursday. This Is tho college which specifically preparos Its student to be teachors, and It Is thoroforo a professional school attended by young women who are getting ready for tho sort-oils work of making their living. Rut when wo read the nnmes of a large part of thoso graduates wo find thnt thoy nro appellations which suggost rnther gay nnd giddy vlow of life and its responsibilities.

They nro not tho namos of mn-turo and serious women, but of the pets nnd playthings of tho nursery. Wo cannot assoolato with them tho dignity and tho consoquecco of teachers occupied with graver matters than dolls nnd curl papers, nnd with stern duties than with tho ease and pleasures of existence. They do not bellt young women who nro starting out to preparo themselves for an oxhaustlng profession, and nro no longer rocked In cradles or guarded from tho cares nnd hardship of tho world by doting domestic affection. Twolvo of tho class of llfty-two In the Training Department nnd about fifty of tho 274 graduate of tho college sign thomselvos with moro pet names ending In te, as If thoy had no other, nnd Irom manifest pieferonco for tho nursery dlmlnutlvos. Among those nro Bessie, Jennie, Nellie, Cahhie, llmuiE, Mamie, Audie, nnd Fannie, no real names at all, but only appellations coined by the familiarity nnd tenderness of privileged relatives and Intimates.

What baptismal nnmo Is wo ennnot guess, but tho truo names of tho others aro Elizabeth, Jank, Helen, Caiio-line, Mary, Adeline, nnrt FiiANces, nil feminine designations of iidl6tlnguishel history, noblo, dlgnlfiod. and euphonious. Hut ttioso girls look upon thorn ns too homely, too old-fashioned. Thoy think nnmo ending In t'e is much prettier nnd moro engaging; and 60 It mny bo In Its proper plnco and as nn expression of affection from thoso who nro entitled by kinship or long nnd close acquaintance to use it In addressing a young woman. Rut, all the t-ame, It is a pet nnmo and nothing else.

It no moro the roal nnmo of womnn than Johnnie or Bon, Sam or Jim nio tho truo names of men. Yet tho girls still Insist on using such diminutives ns if thoy wero their formal appellations; and somotimos thoy carry them through life, printing them on their cards nnd signing them to formal documents, taking thorn to tho marriage altar, and giving them for nowspaper publication. They think It niuo to do this, and yet in truth It is vulgar, and detracts from tho estimation in which women of character, ability, and dignity should bo held. They invito presumptuous familiarity They keep tholr bearers forever In tho nursery. Why, oh why, will so many lovely, stately, splendid, 60lf-respectlng girls persist In tlio potty nnd Incongruous practice? Alas, nlas! wo hnvo trial In vain to mako thorn do otherwlso.

Thoy Insist on compelling us to publish them as if thoy wero llttlo tots in pluafores. How lino are theso names of other of the graduates: Ethel, Eiitii, Floiience, Alice, Kathaiiine, Chaiilotte. Madil, IlAitimrr, Wivipiied, nnd Gerthude; nnd how much bi-tterthny bellt young womnn-hood than Ettie. Floiikik, Edie, Allie, Kittie, Lottie, Winnie, and GeiitieI But this Is department of reform upon which wo enter with llttlo hope of winning distinction by overcoming femlnlno opposition nnd improving the femlnlno taste. Tho girls think thoy aio beyond tlio noed of such Instruction, and wo havo not tho hardihood to chide them tin thoy deserve.

Besides, whatever their names, does not tholr loveliness lomnln tho same. Irresistible and boyond comparison? Circumferential. Hero Is another gem from tho edltoilnl columns of our fool namesake in Baltimore.

Tlier hao elected OitovKit Clkvei.anu Into the Century Club In New York, and tber hnto beaten Cahot Loixie for Ovor-foer of Harvard In Uaasaoliunettfi.

A Mnntrealo by the Antt. Lottery League. To tiik Editor or The Sun Mr; You aro doubtloss nwuro thnt tlio pooplo of this State aro In tho throes of a dosporato strugglowlth a croat gambling corporation, tho Louisiana Htnto Lottory Company, a radically otII and accursed Institution which obtalued a foothold In this Htnie during the unlortunato porlod lm-medlatoly following tho eltll war. when tho most widespread corruption pro ailed. This Institution bus boon In exlbtence elnce 1BC3, nnd tho nrosent Constitution, frnmod In IhT'J, rocognlod the so-cnllod contract em-bodlod in tho chatter of this corporation, which hnd boon repeulad In 1870 by ths first OonornI Assembly controlled by ths Domoorntla party of this Htnto.

With a vlow of soaurlng a now charter for tho period of twonty-fho yoars moro this oll Institution, which corrupts tho morals of our poo-pie by cam bllng. nnd hlch, with Its untold woitllh amnscd from tho cupidity and ciedulotis Iguornnco of tho pooplo. aorrupts our polities nnd rlebaiiches our noople, is now ofTcrlog to tho Htnto tho onornious bribo of por annum lor tho o.xcluslro privilege of oonduotlng its nefarious buslunss for a nuartor of contury to como. Kir, tho proposition Is monstrous aud rovoltlng to ovory rluht-thhiMng man who rollouts upon tno many and terrible ovila resulting from tho Inoculation of un ontiro pooplo with tho mania of lottery gambling; but tho onornious amount of tbe olToi, con plod with the up-patent necessities of tho Stale, though her matorlul condition Is now fast and rapidly mending undertho continued blessings of good government, has won somo good mon I to its support and to unlto with the many I whom it bus corrupted, to urco tho adoption by tho pooplo of tho proposed constitutional chartor.

Tho financial noceselty does not rcnlly oxlst, I which is urtod as a rooson why this dls-i grateful conforn should bo fnstonod upon our Mnto for so louc tlmo, for tlio htnto Is on a cnHh-nnylng basis, her Institutions moro flour-ihlng thnn aro thoso of most Southorn States, nnd our noblo Qoiornor, Francis T.

It Is well known, bus lonn pussed tho ditnitor point, uud tho loueerrellol isdolnyi-dthe grentorbeoonius tho probability of a IjIk disaster.

The plan which ths trustees hnvo onco adopted, and whloh was unanimously condomned ns dangerous by tho Ilrst Board of Imports, provides for a coinpllcntod switching system.

In the operation of which trains will oross In difteronl directions every 3D seconds a point slmilaily locntod to that where tbe Inst brlduo auiidont occurred week ngo. On that occasion a car went off tho track at ths cross-over ewltih and dashed Into th switch bouse, doing considerable damnco.

Hut tbo work of tho new Hoard of Experts will not bo thrown away. If tber prove competent men nnd their recommendations meet tho approval of practical railroad mon, tho plans can be promptly oxecuted by more competent bridge managers, who.

It Is snfotosuy. will take tlio places of tbe present Incumbents early next year. The preliminary work can as well be dons now as later. DEATH TO IlfSKCT LIFE. A Hlnete Electric l.llbt E-itlmnied to D.
