RAILROAD MONOP0LIEs.
From she New York Evening Mail OF May III

TWO MASTERS, OR FIVEf
The ERALD Is true TO its best traditions and to its
interests as an independent leader OF opinion when
n continues its vigorous war against the railroad
monopolies which are to-day the gravest dangers
that threaten the republic. The current gossip
about the purchase OF the Erie Railroad by Mr. Van.
derbilt furnishes the HERALD good text for an
other OF Its appeals 10 the intelligent public opinion
OF the country the subject OF raj road monopoly
and II improves the opportunity by showing up the
rapid growth IN power or the few men who now
hold our railroad system almost wholly in their
hands. Five or SIX men today control
railroad property worth over five hundred
millions OF dollars ana yielding gross
income Of nearly hundred millions IT the
process OF consolidation goes on little further in
the direction now Indicated by credible reports two
men instead or five or six will soon WELD this impe-
nal power, practically unrestricted by any other
authority And this is not power which Is unused,
or whose use and abuse do not directly AFFECT the
people. IL Is very likely that our vassalage 10 the
despots who control our great railways must be-
come even worse more apparent and more huml-
aiing than 1t now is before our patient much endur
ing and apatnetc people will become thoroughly
awakened to the extent OF their bondage. When
they do awaken they will snap asunder the bonds
that now appear TO etter securely every limb OF the
body polite as though they were so many straws.
