THE VALUE OF RAILROAD TRANBP0R-
TATI0N.


II II is possible that any good should ever
como out Of 10 terrible conflict AZ that Of
the unemployed classes Of Pittsburg and
Baltimore with constituted authority, 1t ia
that 1t will impress III this instance the im-
portanco Of tho transportation interests Of
this country. II thsro can DO nny, hope Of
benefit In monaco Of civil war by reason Of
q disagreement between tho employers and
employed Of tho railroads OF the United
Statea, 1t consists In the thought that Ger
tain agrsrian tendency Of the past few years
In regard to railroad property may receive
timely and wholesome check. No circum.
stance like the Pittaburg emeus<, with the
warning It conveys. could bring so vividly
before tho mind tAe overwhelming.
the essential. the indispensable part
which tho transportation interests
play In our agricultural, industrial.
commercial, social, and political system.
Suppose tho railroad strike should extend
throughout the country The thought can
not hare failed to suggest itset. OF course,
tnera would be repetition IN more or lass
hi.ieous form OF the scenes enacted II Pitts
burg during the last thirty.six housz. Blood
would dow In torrents, aud passions aroused
that would leave their impress for years per-

torch would consume millions Of dollars OF

THE lHEAT kTRIKE,


THE GREAT srR1KK
The railroad corporations hare serious
and important responsibility npon them.
They nre confronted by civil war, In which
those Fcsorting to violence are demanding
bread for themselves and families. In con-
troversy with starving men and families, the
railroad companies are OF necessity At q
great disadvantage. The sympaihies Of
mankind are all with the men who are atr1e-
Cling for bread. It Is well, therefore, for
the railroad companies to consider the
responsibility which is now forced upon
them.
The wortmen say that the wages now
paid them hare been, by successive reduc-
tions, brought below the sum necessary to
suAtain lite. The fact that other men are
willing to work At these wnges Ia not sufa-
cient answer to tho complaint. It Is urged
by The companies that their receipts will not
warrant the payment OF higher wages. This
Ia true; but Ia not this very fact Of reduced
receipts duo, in turn, TO vicious policy Of
bad management on the part Of the railroad
companies, and Is 1t not 4 matter within tho
reach Of remedy?
Have not the railroads been engaged, and
are they not now engaged, In the work OF
bankrupting each other Arc they not con-
trolled largely BY desperate gamblers, intent
upon gaining personal control Of vast aggro-
gates Of property, that thoy may pluck it,
and then throw the plundered concern
back upon its robbed creditors. How often
has this history been wEiston Of tho New
York i Erie, and how often, to less extent,
OF other roads? Look at the enormous array
Of stocks and bonds issued by those man-
agementa, representing property stolen. In
whose handa, even now. nro tho groas trunk
railroads and their connections, some Of tho
latter reaching halfway across the contl-
nent?
Since tho great panic of 1873, nearly one
third Of the railroads. (by milcage) have
passed into bankruptcy, and arc now ope-
rated by Receivers or temporary managers,
whose duty It is to pay ordinary operating ex-
penses aud no moro, aud who arc not
troubled BY capital stock or dabt. The great
trunk lines arc involved as lessees with
| thouzands Of miles Of other ronds which vero
| built In advance Of any need Of thom, and
which hare not sufficient business to support
them. The management Of the railroads
hAa mover bcen economical; 1t has beon
grossly extrayagant, wasteful, md frequently
dishonest. The reduction Of the componsa-
ton aud porquisites Of tho managers has
been slow and stubborn; as the receipts felt

lures has been met largely By tho reduction

THE LEGISLATURES.

The Legislature has adjourned after
a session of four months. 1t was the
first session understhe new constitu-
ton, and as there was much legisla-
ton required to conform the statutes
to thatinstrumentsg the limit of 20
days prescribed for ordinary sessions
was extended to l20 days to permit
the extra work to be done. The duty
has been we'll perfornfed:-'----'
Very little time was given to ma
tional politics; domestic matters en-
crossed the attention of members, and
it is difficult to recall a !, session in
which a greater amount of fair and
faithful work was done by the com
mittees and by the house. The labol
/ of adjusting the laws of the state te
the provisins of the new constitution
was not trifing one; new statutes
had to be enacted, and old ones al
tered and amended to adapt the stat
and county administrations to tn
prohibitions and limitations of o. tn
new organic law and to give effect 7
its positive provisions-and this re
quired patient research and labo

Packard declares i'm his farewell ed

Packard declares i'm his farewell ed
dress that he 'siirmfy Believes IL his
government had been reeogafzela Il
could sustain itself without the -iH-
teryention of troops, % and if his leg
islature had only stuck TO him, he
should have deemed it his duty Ito
assert and governsto the last;" but
with Legislature odisintegrated, and
no prospect of present success" he
thinks it his duty to abandon the con-
test and throw up the sponge. In
this confession he betrays the real
flaw in his worthless cause, and indi-
Gates the virtue of the Nichols cause
The Packard aleg5slatafe disintegrat-
ed; the NICHOLS legislature did not.
The latter stuck to it's chief; the other
did not. Packard pretends toss'be-
lieve' that If the federal government
had only recognized him he could
have managed to get along without
the assistance Of federal troops, but
Nichols did not ask for either troops
or recognition; he knew that he eotiid
sustain his government and pitch the
Packard concern into the Mississippi
without the paysieal or moral aid of
the federal government. 2v gHl
