Tue Committee on Federal Relations Of
the Illinois State Senate has reported ia
yorably series Of resolutions requesting
Congress to submit to the people an amend.
ment to the Constitution declaring railways
ito be public highways, and authorizing
Congress to establish and maintain central
Interstate or through rates Of charges for
the transportation Of persons and property
thereon, aud declaring the power Of the State
Legislatures, respectively, to establish and
control local rates" The report has
been made the special order for Thursday
OF this week. Illinois Is Just now
.smarting under the exactions and op-
pressions Of the railroad companies. Pub
lie opinion, especially among the agricultural
classes, Is wrought up to high state Of c1-
citement, so that VIC must not be surprised at
any novel and radical measure In regard to
the railroads that comes from that State.
That the Federal and State governments
should go into the railroad business to the cx-
tent proposed is absurd. What We want IL
the passage and enforcement Of laws that
Will deprive these corporations Of their
enormous financial power, and maintain
hcalthly aud vigorous competition.

SOLVING THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.

IL
1t cannot be denied that while the railroads
have opposed and ill-uscd many Of their Gus
toners who have been for the moment nj
their mercy, they have had problem to solve
that might severely task greater minds than
those which have been obliged to deal with it.
The rapid westward advance Of popula.
tiOn; the opening up Of trade with ,Japan.
China and the Indies by way of the Pacific
and the sudden growth Of commerce between
Europe and Asia across America, have com.
plicated the situation far beyond anything
| forescen by the projectors of most Of Our
| iron highways. Hence the volume of busl.
ness, immensely Increasing, has pcrpIexed
managers of transportation and compellcd
them TO do seeming injustice whero they had
| no such design. The succession Of through
trains, way trains, passenger trains, express
trains, freight trains, milk trains, coal trains,
oil trains, repair trains, etc, running at diff
fercnt rates of speed, passing each
other at specified points, switching of
and waiting for ono another at certain
places; to gether with signaling, inspection
| Of tracks, making connect ons, working OF
draw bridges, &c, &c, constitute a mass ol
details that might well confuse an ordinary
head. The pre- ference In use Of the track
will sometimes be given to one class Of trains
and sometimes TO another, but unav oIdably
those which 20 farthest and fastest. md
which are most expensive, will take prece-
donce Of all Others, and everything will be
arranged TO lessen their cost. As the COM
panics must compete for through freight and
passengers, while they have monopoly of
the way traffic, they Of course have another
motive to favor the former In every way,
These facts account largely for the dlscon-
tent which exists along every through
line, and no political or legislative
action can remove them. But while
much talk has be Gu made against the
corporations without taking these important
facts into account, the Pen nsylvanla Railroad
Company has quie tly solved the problem by
arranging TO use the wealth II has been de-
nounccd for possessing in constructing two
additional tracks along It's whole length Of
road. Two tracks will thus be available for
fast trains alone, while the remaining two
can be devoted exclusively to slow ones.
Thus the through and way business eau be
entirely separated-made almost as di stinct
as II conducted d on two separate roads-which
greatly simplihcs the whole management, and
also largel y reduces the danger Of accident.
With these increased accommodations great
cause Of dissatisfaction will be removed. II
the other through lines will follow the exam
pie Of the Pennsylvania company, they may
expect to see the growing dissatisfaction with
their wealth materially allayed

kwAsIiINGToN n ESTRRpRIsr.


vldcs that the Secretary Of tho Treasury shall
issue new notes Of the national currency In
all cases where any Of the several dcnomina-
tions OF bills shall have been cUuntcrfcltcd
As each particular denomination, ones, two's,
dvc'e, &C., has been COuntcrfcitcd, the law
may be understood by briefly stating that the
Sccrcta.y Is required TO execute new notes TO
take the place Of all the outstanding national
currency.
This Is an immense work In the matter of
engraving and printing Heretofore por.
tion Of the work only has been executed In the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing, the great
bulk Of 1t being performed by the leading
bank-note companies Of New York, where,
at that period, were the only private estab-
lishments having the skin aud resources for
executing the very best bank-notc work.
Since that time We have had established In
this city one Of the finest bank-notc and yen.
cral engraving establishments In the country,
We refer To the Columbian Bank mote Com
pany.
This concern has done, and Ia prepared to
do, the finest class Of cngravlngs known 10
the profession. No work issued from Gov
crnmcnt or private establishments Is superior,
u Indeed they equal what can be done by
the Columbian Bank Note Company. Beside
this, the latter has certain patented processes
for making bank notes, which processes have
6oon used, In part, by the Government and
private concerns In the Northern citics. why
may not our citizens have a sharc of IN.
patronage or business heretofore extended 10
the New York aud Philadelphia bank-note
ongravers1 The large sum paid for express
transportation on work done In the latter
cities would be saved, to say nothing of the
superior work and tho benefits Of the peculiar
process Of executing the same should the
Columbian Bank Note Company be employed
We Invite the attention Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury to this matter, in the hope thai
he may find II, Us we believe IL to be, to III,
best interests of the public that that portion
Of the work to be performed by private IndI.
yiduals or companies be done In this city by
the esta blshment we have named.

In a letter to the Springfield Republican
Elizur Wright proposes that there shall be
a revised common school edition Of the
Bible, from which edition everything shall
be left out to which good citizen of any
or no religious creed could object. What
we want out of the Bible in our schools, he
thinks, sis those grand and grandly ex-
pressed moral lessons which all men, be
they Christian or heathens, out of prison
or in, confess have tendency to make
earth fit to live in, elevating the mind and
warming the heart, while they leave the
intellect untrammeled by any theological
creed, or theory stretching beyond The
range OF human SCIENCE"

TAKING the railroad statistics Of the
State of Massachusetts for the past year it
appears that. on the average, $4,000, 900
miles were traversed by passengers for
every injury received, or, put it in another
way, but one passenger was injured
out of each 100000 carried. This
almost seems to prove the assumption
made few days since that a man was
safer on board the cars than in any other
place. Yet, reduce the average Of casual
ties as low as you please, the mere
liability, however slight, to get knocked
out Of shape, mangled and made mass Of
undistinguished flesh and bones, will ocea
sionally haunt the imagination Of thu
bravest. There should be absolutely M
accidents, and if we valued human life
more and corporations ruled us less, there
would be none.

The Massachusetts medical society has
expelled seven members for conduct un-
becoming and unworthy an honorable ply
sician, by practcing homeopathy" This
is remarkable language for such case,
however slight may be the respect of the
society for homeopathy. "The question,
what constitutes a worthy or an honorable
physician ?' says the New York Evening
Post, concerns the public, who will be
apt to ask by what rule the board Of trial
Of this society assume to dictate the man
ner in which diseases may be 'honorably'
treated. If this judgment is to be law in
medicine, why may not the lines be drawn
still straighter, demanding return to the old
practice of emetics and starvation Why
not Danish cold water, air and exercise
for patients ? May we also suggest that it
would be we'll to have standard measure
for doses of medicine, for fear that tender.
hearted doctors may treat their patients
too homeopathically even in allopathic
medicines? While we are about it, let us
fix the standard of honorable orthodoxy il
dress so acutely that no wretch or physi
clan who has mind or theory of his owl
can endapger the profession for the sake o
his patient. Let us establish the fact be
You'd doubt that man who may be cured
by an heretical or 'dishonorable' treatmen
is not cured, although he may live to tn
age of Methuselah, and that the man VIII
dies under the schedule treatment, b,
weight and measure, still lives in spite Q
natural appearances"

THE unterrified Democracy cannot bear
success. They had temporary victory
some time ago in West Virginia. and i'm
mediately began fighting over the spoils.
The dissension has now grown so great that
all efforts at reconciliation have failed, and
war is declared to the bitter end. The Re-
publicans, profiting by the situation. are
preparing to quietly resume control Of af-
fairs, and relegate these quarrelsome gem
tlemen to the ranks, where, it is evident,
they will do the most good.

GEORGE SMITH, of London, in his Dig
ings into the ancient city Of Nineveh. has
unearthed the recently missing fragments of
the old Assyrian record of the Deluge ;
and, better still, he found library in stone
of an Assyrian king. Thus, after the lapse
of thousands of years, the secrets of the
mighty nations and peoples of the past are
coming to light-as, for instance, in the
late discovery in Jerusalem and Cyprus,
and in the buried ruins of the Temple OF
Diana and ancient Troy, and now in these
Assyrian treasures. Best Of all, that solid
old book, the Bible, comes out Of all these
tests like gold from the crucible.
