"a NATIONAL RAILROAD COMMISSION.


A bill has been drawn as substitute for
the Reagan bill, which is far more in har-
rnony with the teachings of experience
than that crude and mischievous measure.
1t provides for the creation of National
Railroad Commission, to supervise and
examine the operation of all interstate rail
roads. Being modelled on the plan of the
Massachusetts, Commission, the successful
working of which has justified the imita-
ton, it does not aim at the establishment
of an autocratic Board, with plenary
powers, to wrest the control OF the rail
roads from the hands of their owDers, but
seeks only to secure full publicity,
and prompt reference Of all undated
abuses to Congress. The Commissioners
are to have power to hear complaints, to
take testimony, and to send for persons and
papers; to see that all statutory enact
ments regarding transportation are en-
forced and to exercise general super
vision. They are to collect data for
an intelligent system OF railroad leg
islation, and to report all viola
lions Of law to the Attorney-General
The functions here prescribed for the Com
mission are almost the same as those which
the Massachusetts, Board has exercised
for ten years, and in the acknowledged
success of the latter guarantee is afforded
for the results of the proposed measure.
The Reagan bill, on the other hand, is
merely a copy on an enlarged scale of the
Granger laws which were passed in Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin. The principles en-
bodied in it have had fair and full trial
in those States, and everyone knows that
the Granger laws had to be repealed at the
first opportunity, because it was demon
strated that they would ruin the State if
maintained. The demand for the Reagan
bill is therefore utterly irrational, and
made in stupid and blind defiance of ex-
perienee. Should Congress enact such
law it would be reproach to the intelh-

prove that Congressman were incapable of
profting by the plainest teachings of actual
experiment, and that they could not tell
bad law from good one, even after its
badness had been demonstrated beyond all
question Those who assert that the
Reagan bill is a salutary measure stand
self-convicted of ignorance or shameless
demagoguisn Those who oppose the
National Commission plan are in the same
category, for the Commission plan has
been vindicated by years of successful
practice, and it has effected reforms which
prohibitory legislation has in every case
failed to accomplish. The shallow dema-
gogues who think it profitable to truckle to
the least enlightened opirion will no doubt
assail the Commission plan as being in the
interest of the railroads. Whoever makes
this charge, however, is bound to show
that such measures as the Reagan bill have
at some time benefited the people, and no
such showing can be made.

TEE SALARIES OF TEACHERS.

A bill has been introduced in the Senate
to regulate the salaries of teachers in San
Francisco. In the first place such mat
ter is not proper subject for legislation,
and in the second place the principle of
this bill is bad one. 1t fixes the salaries
of the low grade teachers at SIS per month,
and in so doing it puts the extinguisher
on educational reform in San Francisco.
For it is a well understood fact that
the low grades in the public schools call
for the most skillful and experienced
teachers. We do not say that the best
teachers have heretofore been employed in
those grades, but that they ought to be.
In the Quincy schools, now the model ones
of this country, the most experienced teach
ers are set to teach the youngest children,
and this is done upon the principle that
the hardest work lies in beginning the
education. When our children have mas
tered the rudiments of knowledge it is
comparatively easy to leadsthem on from
HTsSue 10 SEdOeY anu Il elAC
intelligent the difficulty of teaching them
decreases as they proceed, until in the
highest grades they need very little guild
ance. The bill referred to, however, alto
gether ignores this state of facts, and
proceeds on the old obsolete theory that it
requires no skill or experience to teach the
lower grades, and that therefore the young
est teachers should be put in charge of
them. This is reversing the natural order,
and perpetrating a blunder which has had
very much to do with the unsatisfactory
ness of the results of the public school sys-
TEN in the past. 1t is to be hoped that the
Legislature will avoid the errors which
have impeded public education hitherto,
and that it will at least leave the door open
! for reform, if it should appear practicable.

An Incident of the War.

Aroused by the Commandment of Fort
Sumter and stung by the defeat Of Bull
Run, with the war cloud rapidly thick
ening, the Christian commission sprang
into existence at convention of dele
gates from the young mems Christian
association held in New York, November
10, 1861. Its object was to aid in pro-
noting the spiritual welfare of the Off
GERS, soldiers and sailors of the crmy and
navy. In this grand movement Mr..
George H. Stuart was the leading spirit
from beginning to end. At its first
meeting he was chosen chairman of the
commission, and so remained until its
close, devoting sometimes Is hours day
to the service of the soldiers, and raised
about Sc, 100000 for the purpose of sup
plying them with those temporal and
spiritual comforts which were not fur
nished by the government. Speaking
on one occasion of the rapidity with
which the people raised money for the
commission, Mr.. Stuart said: We re-
lied on the voluntary contributions of
the people, and how nobly they respond
ed. After the battle of Gettysburg,
when tens of thousands of wounded and
dying men were thrown upon our hands,
I telegraphed in all directions. To Bos-
ton | te]egraphed: Can I draw on
you for $4,000 at sight It was stuck
up in the exchange. The.merchants at
once formed in line to put down their
subscriptions. In half an hour the an
swer came: Draw for $60.000.'"
