THE NEW YORK RAILWAY WAR.

The contest between the New York Central
Railroad and the Erie Railroad continues TO be
the all-absorbing topic in the North and West,
completely overshadowing for the time being
the matter of impeachment. As the merits of
the light do not seem to be understood by
many, brief history of the affair may be of
interest. Cornelius Vanderbilt, President of
the Central Railroad, has bent all his energies
to the work of building up gigantic railroad
monopoly which should control all the rail-
road communications of New York with the
West Tothis end he undertook to get posses
sion OF the rival Erie road by secretly pur.
chasing Sl6,0O0.000 of the Erie stock, represent
ing majority Of the shares. To head him off
Daniel Drew, President of the Erie
Road, issues SS,OO0,OOO more stock, osten-
sibly to carry out the project of making a
broad guage connection between New York and
Chicago, but with the more immediate result of
30 watering the stock that yanderbilt's
sSooo.O00 Will not constitute a majority. The
direct matter at issue, it will be seen, is the
possession OF the Erie railway direction, and
tne question whether the read shall remain
under its present management or pass into the
same hands that now control the New York
Central, Hudson River, and Harlem roads.
The sympathies of the people, however are
with Drew and against Vanderbilt: not with
the former as an individual. but with the side
he represents. The New York Central road
has always been grasping, overbearine cor
poration, buying mp Legislatures at wholesale

state 1t meets with little sympathy outside

prehension that if it possessed the opportunity.
through a monopoly of all the trunk lines il
would prevent any extension of the Erie broad
guage to the West, and would show no mercy
TO the public in its monopoly rates OF fare and
freight
Both roads are meantime erdeavoriug to
obtain favorable legislation at Albany for their
respective sides, the Drew party to get horitv

party to prevent il. The President and Director,
