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 the 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
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 lack of information IN re-
gard to the management and other necessi-
ties of railroads. In conclusion Mr. Jewett
states that he has long thought it advisable
that in each state there should be a board
of commissioners, or some state officers,
whose duty it should be to act as IL 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 we'll 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,
