COMPETITION AS A FACTOR IN
REGULATING RAILROAD RATES.


The disastrous emitting OF rates be-
tween the trunk railway lines has its
important lessons.
There are but two influences which
are looked upon as able to control the
rates of traffic on railroads, competition
and regulations prescribed by law.
The former seems to be failure both
as a means OF satisfaction to the people
or as an agreement between railroad CON-
panies.
The fact is that the practice OF rail-
road companies has been to thwart the
natural operations of honest competi-
ton by mutual agreements, such as
pooling" or other similar methods of
avoiding the legitimate results Of indie
pendent action.
When their agreements fail to restrain
they appear to-run to the desperate
length OF competition which now exist
and which is a kind of Xix emmy cat
method OF destroying each other.
Regulation by unrestricted and ma.
tural laws of competition seems to he a
failure in railroad traffic, and the indi
cations are that even railroad managers
are beginning to look forward to legisla-
ton as a means OF protection for their
own interests.
The situation demonstrates again the
impracticability OF attempting to apply
or depend upon such methods as regu.
late prices and methods of business in
ordinary trade, to the regulation Of rail-
roads.
This is not business in which any
one with capital and enterprise can at
once take part, but the competition
must inevitably be between a small
number of rivals, already in the field,
each trying to secure as much as posi-

warfare, certain to prove disastrous to
some OF those engaged in it, bat chiefly
injurious to the public because it makes
regular and stable tariffs OF rates impos.

1t is desirable that local charges and
through charges on each and every line
should be reaso nable and just and MAIN

ing rates by law, so much as the war
which is now being waged between
lines. The New York Times saws:
The people have been demanding reg
llation by public authority in place Of |
.hese leagues among managers in order
hat their own interests might be pro-
ected as well as those of the corpora-
ions. So long as the combination held
ogether and the railroad confederacy

esisted the demand of the people and
sked to be left to themselves.

bout the merits Of this controversy
but there il one feature Of the traffio IN
,pirituous and malt liquors that occur"
o rs in this connection as worthy oil tns
highest consideration on the part %
those interested in the traffic.
From q money point Of view there ~
more to be gained by "reform oil tne
drinks" than seems to be appreciated
by the LIQUOR trade. While 1t IL IN the
nature of q Temperance reform" 1t
would be bonanza to the man in any
community who makes the move. Let
him establish belief in the community
that be sells and viii sell only the pur.
est and best quality Of liquors and his
fortune is made. As in every other bus
mess the man who sells the best mater.
ials in his trade will always draw
the best and most prodts'
bic patronage. 1t would be
especially 80 in the liquor business De-
cause the majority of men are
really afraid Of the liquors that are set
up" to them in the average saloon-and
well they may be, for q great deal OF II
would kill rats at long range.
To illustrate our idea, we give an IL
lnstration drawn from an incident IN the
city of Chicago.
Those who are familiar with Chicago
NAV remember to have noticed a very
attractive looking saloon and restaurant
IN Clark street, on the windows and
doors OF which and many other con-
spicnous places about it, is stamped IN
gold the letter 2. 1t is known
as the z restaurant and Is
patronized by the best class oil busi'
ness men in Chicago. they throng Its
apartments from morning till late at
night, and there is nothing served or
seen in the restaurant but what is gotten
no in the most tempting style.
A few years ago the proprietor OF the
~" restaurant kept very unpreten-
tious saloon in less conspicuous part
of the city. The Board OF Health secret
" instituted an inquiry into the quality
of liquors being sold in the various
saloons of the city. Samples were pro-
cured without knowledge OF the
proprietors, labeled and submitted
to a committee OF scientific
men for analyses. The degrees OF adul'
terstion in the different samples were
designated by the letters OF the alpha
bet; A. representing the worst quality
B. the next, and SO on down to Il which
latter designated perfectly pure quail
ty OF liquor.
When the Boar of Health announces
to the public what they had done, ant
the result of their Investigations, tn
fortune OF the proprietor OF tn
saloon whose Liquors were best
was made. His samples wer
marked z. Immediately the tide OF Gus
toners from the best classes OF society
rushed in upon him. He moved into
more conspicuous part OF the city, hai
made large fortune and holds the bes
custom in his trade to-day in the ~
Restaurant.
He was simply found to be serving
his patrons with pure article OF liquor
That one fact has made him an indie
pendent fortune. The incident sutti
GENTLY illustrates the opportunity for
man really engaged in the liquor traffic
to inaugurate a reform movement o
great vnlne. while also increasing hi
terest OF humanity that the deadly adul
terations OF spirituous liquors b.
stopped, and the reform must come
either voluntarily or by force Of law.

that if the title chaps had really fallen
from the clouds it would have "busted
them OPEN" To our editorial mind, how
ever, tins suggestion furnished food for
grave thought. Upon examining spec
linen of the phenomenal animalculae, we
discovered that he was Of the dry land or
toad species. This precludes the idea
that either the young animal or the germ
of the spawn could have been drawn into
the clouds from streams or ponds of water
by the sun or o,her agency. The whole
solution of the matter undoubtedly is that
the germs of the little animals are depos
tied in the sand or slight crevices in the
surface o. the earth by the maternal frog,
and, when a warm rain falls at an oppor-
tune time. their little fregships are quick
ened into life, and spring forth and com
mence the pilgrimage by hopping about,
giving every appearance of having fallen
with the rain.

Gratis Advice to our Ministers.
If in weather like this preacher i'm
pose an hour-long sermon on his peop'e
he deserves to see empty benches hereat-
ter as long as he lives. The desire to give
a congregation great deal for their mon
ey may be very honest at bottom but tn .
is an age in which quality is more valued
than quantity, an age too in which hear
ers are so near the intellectual level Of the
preachers that they are quick to increase
the size. Not more than one long sermon
in FIVE hundred is listened to with any
more pleasurab'e or profitable sentiment
than that of mere endurance and human
endurance is taxed severely enough in hot
weather without having unnecessary bur
dens laid on it by men who should tran
quilsze the soul instead of tormenting it.
Near:y every sermon would be better,
stronger and easier to remember if boiled
down to about half its present bulk; moth
ing but words would be lost by the oper-
alton for ideas are never thick enough in
any literary composition to run any risk
of being lost. Let preachers just once as
tonish congregations with sermons of only
fifteen or twenty minutes duration and
they will not long be left in doubt how
to persuade people to come to church.

Capt. Pa &c.

Capt. Page.
We publish elsewhere a letter from
Ii. Clagett Page. II reference to the causes
that led to his contemplated retirement
from the Beard OF Commissioners. From
this letter it appears that the provocation
was still greater than We had been inform
ed of, as the Board had already, at pre-
vious meeting, unanimously agreed to a.
dept the course proposed by Capt. Pages
motion; and the majority, by defeating
his motion, revoked their previous action
We have heard general expression of re-
greet among our citizens at the prospect of
losing the services of SO efficient and con-
scientious an officer as Capt. Page, and
we understand that active efforts will be
made by leading citizens to induce the
Captain to remain in the Board, bis resig-
nation not having yet been sent to the
Governor. We hope their efforts may be
successful.

The Silver Dollars and the Eagles


1t has been discovered that some of
the new issue of silver dollars have the
American Eagle adorned with eight feath-
ers in his tail, while in most of them there
are only seven feathers in the caudal APP
pendage of the national bird. This dis
covery has led to numerous inquiries at
the Treasury department as to the cause
of this, which has ELECTED the explanation
that, after several millions of these coins
had been turned out, some slight change
was made in the die used in stamping
them, which cut down the eagles allow
ance of tail feathers to seven. The Treas
ury informs the country that the coins are
all of the same intrinsic value.
When any of our valued subscribers
shall be DESTROYS of settling up their ac-
counts at this office, they may not have
any scruples in that regard. We will
thankfully accept either the eight-feather-
tail, or the seven-feather- tail dollars, or
the greenbacks. We are not particular
We get rid of our dollars so rapidly that
we rarely ever have time to count the fea-
theirs in the eagles tail.
