Railroad Strife En- ded.

An editorial in the Boston Advertiser o I
Saturday says:
The long standing quarrel between the
Boston and Maine aud the Eastern railroads
has come to an end. An agreement was
signed yesterday under which the two roads
will cease from competition in every form for
either passengers or freight, and forty per
cent. OF the receipts by either company on
business sat competing points" will be divided
between the two corporations. The contest
ceases not only by the hearty consent Of the
stockholders and officers of both companies,
but we believe also to the great relief Of the
public. No railroad competition could be
undertaken under circumstances more likely
than this to benefit the community, and few
have continued for so long time. Yet the
public has not been better or more cheaply
served in consequence, and both roads have
added heavily to the capital and debt on
which they must pay interest. The conse-
quences of the quarrel will continue to be felt
by the stockholders for a long time to come,
but we believe the general public viii at once
discover how much better il is for their own
interest that two such lines shall live at
peace. Whether there may be in the future
any proposition for closer union still we do
not know, but there are many reasons why il
would be better for all concerned that they
should be in all respects one line.
