In response TO letter addressed to dis
tinguished railway magnates, VIM. H.
Vanderbilt, Hugh J. Jewett, Jay Gould,
John w. Garrett and George D. Roberts to
the effect that they are looked upon by the
public as practically controlling the railway
policy of the United States, and are, of
course, we'll aware that there is in the west,
particularly, an increasing feeling on the
part of agricultural communities, and to
some extent of the mercantile and manu-
featuring interests against railway corpora
tons, as they are managed at present, Mr..
Jewett, who is president of the Erie rail-
road, has made an elaborate answer. He
says the public attach to much importance
to tho positions of the gentlemen named,
and that instead of controlling to the extent
popularity supposed, they are often COM
PEELED to subordinate their own interests to
the interests of the public; he denies the
authority or right Of the national govern
ment to legislate upon the subject matter of
railway management, or in any. way to regu-
late such management, or that of any other
state corporation or institution, but does
not doubt the right of the state legislature
to regulate railway management; but states,
however, have no right by legislation to i'm
pair the value of the franchise of railways,
Or Of their property, unless there is such a
public necessity as would Justify compen-
sation therefor. He opposes the consolida-
ton of partial or competing lines, and
thinks it should be prohibited, but sees no
objection to consolidating continuous lines.
That the people are suffering, as alleged,
or are in danger of suffering still more,
from railroad exactions or determinations.
he thinks is an untrue representation, and
that large majority of such complaints
proceed from a lack of information IN re-
gard to the management and other necessi-
ties of railroads. In conclusien. MIR. Jewett
states that he has long thought it advisable
thnt in each state there should be q board
OF commissioners, or some state officers,
whose duty it should be to act as medium
of communication between the people and
their representatives and the railways, and
that if it was made the duty of some such
officer or board Of officers, to familiarize
themselves with the necessities of the rail
road management, to listen to the complaints
Of the people, to inquire whether or not
such complaints were well founded, and if
we'll founded, to inquire wherein they could
be lawfully remedied, and to take such steps
as might by law. be authorized to remedy
them, the principal cause of friction now
apparently existing, would entirely pass
away" Mr.. Jewett has long been known
as not only one of the ablest but the most
candid and considerate of the great railway
managers, and he puts the railway side of
pending questions in the strongest light.
The other gentlemen named have not yet
responded to the letter addressed to them.

An autopsy at Morris on the body of Mrs.
Crandall, who was found dead in the snow near
Milbank, Dakota, disclosed what at first ap-
peared to be a CHASTITY wound in the abdomen.
The rumor reached the street, and Immediately
the populace started out in search Of the wo-
mans husband, who was reported to have been
in the town. Before he was found, it was dis
covered that the real condition of the corpse
did not warrant the conclusion drawn, and the
excitement subsidized.

THE New York half-breeds have al
ways been very brave in their talk and
very cowardly in their action, quite in
the traditional! way OF hall breeds the
world around, but We can count on
them to stir up row. What more they
NAV do when united by the cohesive
power and stimulated courage-breeding
influence OF public plumber remains to
be seen. AS we understand it, these
half-breeds are a sort OF cross between
the featherheads who held power in
New York under HAYES and the stall
warts who were united in opposition TO
him. They are not indifferent TO the
power OF patronage as lever in poll
tics, or ind;sposed to use this lever, so
that they will fight the stalwarts with
their own weapons.

comes more apparent when it is seen
that there was a steady increase oil drink
ing and drunkenness under the prohi'
bitory law, and a steady decrease under
the operation Of the license law. Thu',
in 1874, the last year under the probib-
tory law, the number Of places in Boston
where liquor was sold was 8 0s0, and the
number OF drunken persons who came
under the notice Of the police was 49,
324 But in the year ending May !,
1879, the fourth year under the license
law. the whole number OF places where
LIQUOR was sold under license, or sus-
pected Of being sold without license,
was 2,O27; and in the year ending Janu
ary l, 1881, the number OF arrests Tor
drunkenness in Boston was lG,53i, and
and the number OF person helped home
was l,377-a total OF 1911, against 49,
324 in 1874.
What Mr.. Dow will do with these
figures We do not know. He has chal'
lenged us to show such state OF things
a. is contained in the above statements
We have given him the official figures
from but one State. We could give
him like showing from other States.
But is not the above conclusive? What
will he do with the statistics OF the State
of Massachusetts, We are curious TO
discover.
Moreover, il we had the space we
would show by facts equally conclusive
that prohibition is not growing but on
the contrary is declining in the public
esteem as reformatory measure.
Mr.. Dow cites the progress OF local
option 10 Europe to show that prohiol-
ton is gaining ground. But local option
is not prohibition. Local option is rea-
sonable and right in theory, while pro-
hibition is not.
What has been the result OF the a2ita-
ton all over the country during the
past winter upon the question OF prohi-
bition? In illinois, Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, Delaware, Michigan, Massachr-
sets, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
North and South Carolina, Texas and
West Virginia, prohibitory legislation
was defeated. and in the single State oil
Kansas was adopted. In two or three oil
the States named local option or anti
treating measures OF a more or less i'm
practical character, were adopted while
we believe absolute prohibition failed
in every one except in Kansas.
Ii Mr.. Dow does not regard this as
showing "prepondersnce Of the most
enlightened opinion OF the day against
prohibition" We will despair OF making
an impression upon him.
