Anti-MonoDOly,

The late anti-monopoly convention at
the baneful influence of railroad corpora
tions in the New York Legislature. Its
address says:
II has become regular practice for railroad cor.
poratons to send some of their own men to the
Legislature 10 further their interests. Senator
Wagner, Of palacecar fame, is type OF this class.
Through railroad influences he has been regularly
placed at the head of the Senate committee on
railroads, the committee constituted to suit his
pleasure, and all measures looking TO holding
these corporations to proper responsibility TO the
public have had to run the gauntlet OF this packed
jury presided over By judge who had a pecu.
MARY interest in the adverse decision OF the case
Mr. Wagner was delegate to the Chi
cago convention, having solicited the
honor, and was too conscientious TO vote
for General Grant, as was expected of
him.
The address proceeds to describe an
other class, and to furnish the names of
leading representatives thereof 1t says
Another class OF senators who are even more use.
ful to the railroads are prominent members of the
legal profession many of whom are regularly re-
tanned In all parts of the State, and some thus en-
ployed are regularly elected to the Legislature by
the railroads, Senators Robertson Jacobs, woodin,
Sessions, and Fowler are types of this class. This
class work more secretly, profess 10 be friendly,
assure you they will 10 all they can for the meas.
ure where the public interest is involved, but Sc
cretly cndeavor TO sufe 1t in committee or prevent
it from ever coming TO a vote. In case they are
not successful In this they either vote against 1t or
are absent when the vote Is taken. In some in.
stances where they are sure Of enough adverse
votes to defeat measure which they know their
constituents favor they will even vote aye,
although had they been told by the railroad man
ayers that their vote was wanted they would have
been recorded on the other side.
Other classes of corporation servitors
are described, including men in and out
Of the Legislature. 1t is likely that the
address will do good by thus calling pub
lie attention to the undue influence exer-
cised by the great corporations in the af-
fairs of Government, The question is not
what shall the Government do about the
corporations, but it is, rather, shall the
corporations govern the country? The
Republican party will stand or fall as it
answers this question.

The yorktown Centennial.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad will
be completed between Richmond and Newport
News in time for the Yorktown Centennial, also
the branch diyerging to Yorktown in readiness
for trains to be run to and from Yorktown during
the centennial term. They will not only run trains
between Richmond and Yorktown, but also be-
tween Newport News and Yorktown, so as to nc-
commodate the travel in both ways. A circular,
published for the information Of and guidance of
all parties interested, says:
Military organizations and others coming from
Eastern States can arrange for transportation via
water to Newport News or by all rail via Rich
mond. Those coming from the West and South
can procure all. rail transportation direct TO York
town. By this action of the railway authorities
the difficulties regarding wharfage facilities at
Yorktown are satisfactorily removed, and organi-
zations that have been heretofore deferred on this
account will find their desires within the range
of certainty of accomplishment.
