There are, with thslatest contribution, enough
bills to regulate railroads In every particular,
che trouble being too many competitors for tho
honor Of solving tho intricate problom. Tho

ual, as that Ia the only way to avoid ioalousies
and nntagonisms that will nentralize all honest
attempts to accomplish something sensible.
