WE print to-day an extended notice Of
the opening session of the Cheap Transpor-
tation Convention in Washington. The
address of President Quincy was very fine,
covering ably the great issues involved in
the new movement. The doctrines an
nounced may crate harshly upon the ears
of those. who have no faith in the resistless
and progressive movement Of human So
ciety. 1t is certain, however. that we are
to see mightier social and material develop
ments during the next twenty years
than during the past. Let those who
remember the social conditions Of
twenty years ago, and how permanent
they seemed. learn the lesson of those
wonderful and stirring experiences through
which the world has passed since that
time. No man could have believed pre-
diction of what has happened since. To-
day the light of new hopes dawns upon
us. We begin to see dimly what will soon
come into crystal columns, that the new
powers which science confers upon human
ity must be welded for the common well
fare. The power of steam and electricity to
annihilate SPECS and time must be conse-
Grated to the purposes of benefcence.
And this principle will lead to logical
conclusions very startling to old fogies
and the selfish and grasping among man
kind everywhere. But we shall have to
yield to the mighty march of events to
whose silent and imperturbable logic there
is no answer possible, but submission only,
which it is better to render cheerfully.
| We have faith in this convention and COM
mend its spirit and purposes. There will
be wild and impracticable schemes enough
no doubt, but the movement to cheaper
communication is twin sister to that to
cheaper money, and both should enlist the
warmest support of every good man every
where.
