GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAILROADS.

The railroad corporations seem almost to he
counting interference of the Government to reg
ulate their management. Spoiled children left
to themselves in the house, auarrelinp over
the division of their toys and totally neglect
ing the tasks and lessons set them. couJd not
more plainly manifest their need of q strong
firm, judiciOus tutor than does the current
rail road management this summer indicate its
need OF some superior control The great
trunk lines are competing in reduction of
fares which is now becoming almost ludicrOus
Five dollars from Boston to Chicago is one of
the quotations lately made. Everyone can see
that such reductions are not attributable to
ticket scalpers and brokers these may ag-
grayate the conditions they could not
produce 1t except on basis of facts af-
forded by the management. A reasonable.
natural competition in fares and frepbts
would be altogether wholesome-would beneft
the public and would not, in the end, deplete
the treasures of the companies. Even such
vagaIies and extravagances as have been
witnessed during the last fortnight are. for
the moment, an advantage to travellers We
should be well pleased to see nominal rates
maintained as long as they were pleasing tn
the capitalists and boards of direction in
volved, If it were not that the public
have deep interest in the safety Of
railroad management. And this is indirectly
imperilled by the parsinony which must Green
in when earnings are thrown away in the
struggle to destroy rivals. And when the pub-
lie read of a railroad disaster per day when
almost every investigation into the causes of a
casualty reveals parsimony carried to extremes.
and shows that employees trusted with important
duties are insufficient in number, grossly over
worked and underpaid, they may soon begin to
have their doubts of the theory popular among
railroad men that railroad is private property
to be managed by its owners as their interests
dictate. They may demand that, since their
proprietors cannot operate the roads with stead-
ness, good sense and harmony, in a manner
which secures safety to the public and fair
division OF business among competitors, govern
ment shall interfere.
One OF the two plans which have been urged
Tor bringing railroads under Government con-
troll seeks to regulate them by State authority
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-08-04

by means of acts of the Legislature fixing
rates of fare, and prescribing leading princ-
pies OF management, enforced by a Commits
sion empowered for the purpose. The rail-
roads of this State barely escaped being placed
under such a Commission at the last session
of the Legislature Nearly half the States have
such Commissioners welding different powers.
Such board, it is easy to see, may be clothed
with authority to decide controversies be-
tween competing roads to fix and COM
pei adherence to rates of fare which
shall be as toward the public reasonable
and satisfactory, while yet as toward stock
holders they are prudent and remunerative.
1t can also have authority to investigate road
management i'll advance of disasters to
dictate the employment of sufficient number
of fagmen and switch blenders; to secure them
remunerative wages, and thus TO give the pub
lie due security. Should the States through
which the great lines run agree on somewhat
similar legislation very efficient control
would be established.
There is an alternative. Not few persons
are hopeful that the Federal Government will
assume such control as it constitutionally may.
The course of decisions of the Supreme Court
leaves little room to dispute that railroad COM
munication from State to State-the entire
business of trunk lines and through tIains--is
a branch OF commerce among the States, and
is fully subject to the control OF Congress.
Should Congress do as was proposed a couple
OF years ago-estabish railroad law
and Board of Commissioners for the
Countrywide authority of each State Leg
islature would become limited to lines
or trains wholly confined within the State.
Moreover even these, if used for mail trans
portatiOn, would be drawn within the power of
Congress to establish post routes BY virtue
of these two powers in combination a very
efficient, wide-reaching control by the Federal
Government might be secured. The compa-
MES may have reason to apprehend that if
they do not attain better management than is
witnessed this summer one or other Of these
plans of Government control will be success
fully urged.

STATE or THE CROPS

IL is vexatious and not creditable TO the
country, that so little accurate knowledge can
be obtained as to its crops Most of the winter
wheat has now been harvested The acreage of
the spring wheat could now be known, and il is
so near maturity that very close estimate of
It's yield could be made. Respecting the wheat
crop, at least it has not turned out well to
leave the business of gathering information to
the State authorities or to interested associa-
tons. 1t is generally believed that, whenever
the farmers III any State have large quantity of
old wheat on hand to be sold, particularly un-
favorable news as TO the growing crop in that
State is sure to be made public through the
local officials and the oranges. So often has
this opinion been justified by results that some
experienced dealers have made it u rule to sell

his tale of horrors, issuing prospectuses for a
lecture tour, and posing before the public as a
hero and martyr who had not been guilty of a
brutal attack upon our President but only of a
political crime as necessary as it was sublime
Our people would expect one thing only-tle
promptest action consistent with law for the
arrest of the loud-mouthed and red-handed
miscreant who blurted out his own inhumanity
and wickedness. The extradtion of the crimi-
nal they would assume, would follow as soon
as conclusive proof should be furnished of the
identity of the man and his positive guilt.
1t is time to call a spade a spade. We are
harborng here II criminal who confesses-fairly
bellows it in the public ear-that be has COM
mltted an act which the world recognizes as
crime against society. Unfortunately there is
no extradition treaty between Russia and the
United States, but we should be sorry to learn
that red-handed murderer can escape all
penalty for his crimes by coming to New York
and advertising them We are aware that Mr.
Wendell Phillips thinks the killing of Kings is
a praisewOrthy act, and that Mr.. Guiteau has
the same opinion about the killing of Presi-
dents But our jurisprudence has never
adopted this view, and Hartmann is none the
less murderer because his victim was an EN-
DppOr.

We doubt whether any State in the Union
has shown greater activity in railroad build
ing during the past year than Texas. About
two thousand miles of new roads have been
fol. -, H.
of 1880. The telegraph now brings news of
the charter of a new company to build a road
from Sabine Pass northwesterly 200 miles
to junction with the line of the International
and Great Northern.
1t is a heavy blow to Chicago pride, but the
fact cannot well be disputed that Cincinnati
makes more whiskey than the boastful me-
tropolis of the prairies. AT all events, it paws
more revenue tax. The collection district
comprising Cincinnati leads all Others having
paid during the year ending June 80 the
heavy total of $12, $50, 1916. Next comes the
Chicago district, with an aggregate of
$11, 425, 131. These figures do not settle the
question, however, of which of the rival
Western cities consumes the most liquor.

The King of the Hawaiis, on the course of
his homeward return after a journey around the
world, has lately visited this country. While
our relations with that Kingdom are friendly,
this Government has viewed with concern the
efforts to seek replenishments of the diminishing
population of the Islands from outward sources
to a degree which may impair their native
sovereignty and independence, in which the
United States was among the first to testify a
lively interest"
The President seems to have concern "
about the "degree" or extent and not
the quality or character of our immigra-
ton. He fears that the "native sovereignty
II independence" in which the United
States has testified such "a lively interest q.
may be impaired by the coming of too
many "replenishments from outward
sources :" hence he will not regard with
favor the mission of Mr.. Garter to bring
Portuguese here by the wholesale, We are
glad tc notice the kindly expression Of
regard for Hawaiian independence and
trust it will not be impaired by the Power
which claims to have first proffered re-
cognition, by being the first to dictate
what shall be its course in regard to a
measure of domestic policy.
