The Pbiladelphia Republican Ring.

years been cursed by having ring

stolen millions of the tex payers money,

sition to overturn it. for years. This ring,

dictates, fare nominated for thecffces. and
80 powerful is this influence that. without
il, defeat is ipeviatable TO any aspirant not
pied ged to support the gang OF plunderers.
This ring not only controls the heads Of
municipal departments. but it ramltes
through the entire political machinery OF
the city. The common and select council
men are composed Of ring advocates, and
the system of addition, division and silence
so perfectly carried out that the ring bosses
bid defiance to the people and plunder ct
will, So corrupt has this Republican ring
became that the people have
bsen practically disfrauohised. for
no matter what the actual vote might De-
these thieves would falsify the count and
stuff the ballot boxes sufficiently to elect
their chosen agents.
At last the people have become aroused
to the necessity for change, and through
the efforts Of the Philadelphia Times and
the New York Herald. such exposures
have been made as TO sstonish even the
most blinded Republican partisan not IN
the ring, As q result. party lines have
been ignored, to some extent, and at the
coming municipal election, there will be
determined effort to overthrow the ring
and inaugurate sweeping change. 1t IS
believed that only an inkling of the true
condition of affairs has been divulged and
that once change is effected. there vii
be such revelations as will consign to the
peneteotiary the entire gang which
has so long controlled the politica
machinery of Philadelphia and robbed
the people of sumo, the aR

The RAILROADS,

The question Of national control of the
railroads is s causing much comment
throughout the country. and has developed
some new ideas of how railroads should be
managed. The able letter of Judge Jere
S. Black. and the sweeping : changes be
proposes, has made a stir in railroad
circles aud among prominent business
men and large shippers in the country,
Hon. George Tieknor SCurtis takes an
opposite view from Judge Black. and is
utterly opposed to governmental control Of
railroads. Among our congressman prob
ably no one has given this subject more
thought than Judge Reagan, Of, Texas.
and in an interview he says
Il was a member of the late constitu-
tional convention of Texas. and you will
find embodied in the organic law Of that
state the very assertions, almost In torti
dem verbs. of Judge Black. These cor
porations only acquire in the soil limited
right Of user, as the law books haye it,
and if the courts maintain, las has been
held, that railroad charter is public
and not iprivste act of incorporation,
and thus amendable at the will
Of the legislature. those corporations are
stripped of many dangerous prerogatives
commonly assigned s them By public
opinion and by the press. Railroads are
quasi public highways, for the use Of
which va pay toll Their owners are
common carriers. Railway charters are
granted by the highest power 10 the state.
rather in promotion of public welfare than
to furnish means of profitable investment
for private capital.
Judge Reagan says of the power of
Congress to fix rates. as follows:
Legislation can only compel proxim ate
justice. and the people must be protected
against inordinate exac:ious, To permit
railway managers to discriminate between
shippers in freight rates and charges for
the purpose, as they allege, of developing
business, is to authorize them to use these
corporations for the benefit of special
tavorites. to the detriment of others aed
In promotion of individual schemes for the
acquisition of money. The worst SPECIES
OF favoritism is stimulated, and fragrant
Injustice constantly done. The public, by
the system ana by these practices. is
made dependent for privileges of trans
portation upon the caprices and private
interests of individuals managing railways
and systems of intolerable and arbitrary
exactlon are instituted. This must be
prevented by federal law, which regulates
commerce between the states"

Death MARS q Golden Wedding.
Among the older residents ofPassaic,
N. j., are Andrew Soele and his wife.
Thirteen years ago they came to this
country from the Netherlands, but be-
ing to old to work lived with their
son. in-law, Peter Roloef, who was an
Industrious mechanic. The old couple
had had fourteen children, but OF
these only four lived, and OF these four
Peters wife was the only one who was
doing we'll. The old couple were mar.
ried ffty years ago on Wednesday, and
in commemoration Of that event Peter
and his wife had arranged some fes'
tiyi.ies, together with a sumptuous
BANQUET, for the family reunion which
was to take place. On Saturday Peter
went out driving to arrange some mat
tsrs for the approaching gala day.
when he met with an accident, the
horse kicked him in the breast. He
was taken home and tenderly cared for,
but on Sunday bre sthed his last. In"
stead OF a scene of enjoyment and fes-
tivitv his residence on Wednesday wit
messed a scene Of mourning, as not
onIy the husband, father and son, but
the supporter Of both families was
oone. Instead Of smiling with pleas
nre and plenty the old couple had the
prospect Of coming penury on the day
of the golden wedding.

Mayor Kalloch, Of San Francisco, and
the Board of Supervisors are involved
in a bitter fight. At recent meeting
of the City Hall Commissioners, Kalloch
introduced resolution charging the
Supervisors with stealing, and warning
them not to attempt to interfere with
the City Hall Board. On Monday night,
at a meeting Of the Supervisors, Super
visor Ststson rose to question Of priv
ilegs and replied to the resolution,
which he characterized as false and
made from dishonest and malicious mo-
tives. Kalloch, who was presiding,
Immediately began 10 read his reply,
and refused to recognise the Supervi-
sor, who addressed the Chair and olam-
ored for order. A scsne Of the greatest
disorder ensued, but Kalloch ignored
all the Interruptions, and only shouted
the louder when interrupted. More
than one half the members were on
their feet az one tins shouting for or.
der and endeavoring to shout the may
or down. Ths Mayor desisted once
long enough to request the Board to
come to order, then proceeded with his
reading, despite the uproar, which pre-.
vented his remarks from being heard.
Finally, Supervisor Lituhfeld moved
an adjournment, which was carried
aud the majority of the members left
the chamber and the Mayor continuing
read to the galleries until he had fin
ished his reply. Supervisor Ferry, as
be passed Kslloch, shook his fist at
him, denouucing him as q rascal, DO,
but the latter made no reply, and after

the hall by his friends, directly through
the room where the Supervisors were
holding an Indignation meeting and
discussing plans for the Illustration OF

At the Rose Tree Garfield pole rais-

Rsq., Of MEDIA, in concluding his speech
said: ~ want to say word in regard
to Thomas v. Cooper. [Applause.
Much has been said by faction in this
county against the official character OF
that gentleman, but defy any man to
place his finger on single official act
OF Senator Cooper that has been tainted
by corruption. You cannot find a public
man in any legislative body in the
Union, whose record, whom scanned by
the keen eye Of criticism, will not show
some miatakes; and we do not deny
that Mr.. Cooper may have made mis-
takes, but | think the people OF this
county will make a greater mistake If
they do not return him to the Senate.
I have travelled over this State, and
know whereof speak, and tell you
that Thomas v. Cooper Is looked upon
as the leader of his party, and to-day
the eyes of prominent men, all over
the Commonwealth, are fixed upon him
as our next Governor; and think that
we, as citizens of Delaware county, are
doing ourselves injustice by thrusting
ourselves athwsrt his, and our, politi-
cal future.'
