regulate transportation by the political power,
will not regulate it in one direction only, nor,
perhaps, in any such direction that conserva-
tive men can approve. IL asked to interfere
in order to prevent harmful competition be-
tween railroads, the voters may take occasion
to Interfere in order to prevent the earning of
any dividends upon present stocks.
BY Others it is urged that some measure of
national legislation more or less resembling
hlr. Reagans bill, ought to be adopted. When
fatal defects are pointed out i'll such a meas
ure, these persons say that mere minor defects
can be removed; that some measure can surely
be framed by which the public can be pro-
tected without injustice TO stockholders. But
this is begging the whole question. 1t is not
yet settled that the public interests can in any
way be better protected Or promoted than by
leaving tie railroads free to fight or to make
peace, as they please.
Long ago, when Mr. Fink succeeded in or
ganizlng the trunk-line pool, TIE TRIBUNE
expressed the belief that this combination
would not succeed IN suppresslng competition,
but would only change its form. That it could
prevent strife between railroads. and unite them
permanently in one harmonious organization,
was not believed. Considered as a voluntary
regulation of competition, the pooling system
has done good, both for the railroads and for
the public. The railroads can make it as much
more effective as they please, and laws already
exist to give binding force to any contract which
they may voluntarily make that is not preju-
dicial to public interests On the other hand,
should an attempt be made to assail public
interests by means of combination laws already
exist by which that disposition could be
restrained. For the rest, the more the rail-
roads are permitted to combat freely and to
combine freely, the more probable it is that
their own interest will force them to regulate
competition in manner not prejudicial to the
public welfare. Every combat tends to force
the railroads to restrain each other more
strictly, and to do so by adjustments that give
the public the benefit of such rates as are most
profitable to the roads which can transport
most cheaply

religious convocations. The object of them
undoubtedly was religious, but it rests with
the controllers to make their action and
results so. IL requires the wisdom Of the
serpent as well as the gentleness of the
dove to manage all things decently and III
order among five, ten or forty thousand peo-
pie massed together in midsummer heat in
tents and huge hotels. Zeal for Christ does
not animate the whole of this heterogeneous
throng. The kernel or germ of the whole
movement was probably pure piety, but many
have gone because il was the fashion
able thing to do in their church many
to make money out of the crowd many for
even less worthy motives. Where the crowd
is, there will the human buzzards be gathered
together In an ordinary crowd decent re-
gard to the law and order is all we have a
right to expect. All that the directors can
DO IN enforcing temperance and police regula-
ions we believe they have done heretofore.
There are neither drunkenness, gambling
brawls nor open vice within tie limits. But
sacred names and phrases are banded about

The one thing that Brooklyn needs for it's
further development is rapid transit from
Fulton Ferry and the bridge terminus to two
or three points IN her distant suburbs, but her
Aldermen are slow in realizing this patent
fact. Elevated roads combined with the cheap
rents which are Brooklyn's greatest blessing
would probably add hundred thousand to
her population in one years time.

tirement for period of nine months. He formerly

In their treatment of the Irish Land Bill the
Lords are travelling over the beaten track
they have always followed when they have
had to deal with liberal and progressive meas
ures originating with the Commons. Their
opposition is at first stubborn and apparently
unyielding, but after time the newspapers
begin to talk of recognizing the Upper House
so rs to make it express instead of resist, the
popular will. Then the dukes, marquises,
bishops and other titled gentlemen who repre-
sent nobody but Themselves grow alarmed lest
storm of popular indignation should sweep
away their prerogatives, and beat hasty retreat.
The same farce is being played over again now
The Lords are going to cut the Land bill to
pieces. They regard it as revolutionary
scheme invading the sacred right of landed
property. Perhaps they will work their spite
on Mr.. Gladstone's great remedial measure for
time, but in the end they will adopt it
rather than be denounced as an obstructive,
tyrannical and worse than useless body. They
will bend, as they have so often done before,
TO avoid being broken.

The claim of the Canadian postal authorities
that their mail bags are used in this country
for home service does not stand investigation.
1t is said by the Superintendent of the United
States Railway Mail Service that he can recall
but one instance of the kind, and that was when
Canadian bag was received at the Chicago
Office and immediately dispatched to the Do
mInion. One of the inspectors who has been
In Canada thinks the Canadians are largely
dependent in their postal service upon the
equipment they get from and forget to re-
turn. Probably there is some truth in the sug-
gestion OF Toronto paper that some of the
subordinate officials in our Post Office Depart
ment have long known that bags sent over the
border do not come back, bur have kept still
about the matter in order that their friends,
the contractors could have the job of supply
ing new pouches in place of the missing ones.

There seems to be growing disposition on
the part of the most influential of the London
papers to recognize the right of Mr.. Bradlaugh's
constituency to be represented in Parliament
by the man of their choice. This recognition
does not, of course, imply anything like APP
proval of Bradlaugh's late absurd attempt to
| rush into the House like mad bull when the
| Speaker had ordered him to be kept out. Two
wrongs do not make right and if the Speaker
| was wrong III denying Bladaugh admission to
| the lobby, a furious tusse with the ushers was
not the way to demonstrate the fact. Nor does
it deny the right of the House to be the sole
judge of the qualifications of its own mem
bers. The real merit of Bradlaugh's case
lies in the fact that he is deprived of the
| seat to which the electors of Northampton
| chose him, largely because his religious views
are not those which the other members enter
tain or profess to entertain. If there is any
law which stands in the way of his admission,
sooner or later that law will have to be re-
pealed, just as the laws have been which once
kept Roman Catholics and Jews out of Parlia-
ment. The days of religious tests and pro-
scriptions have happily gone by, and such YES
hges of them remain in old customs and
statutes must soon be swept away.

Some OF the evidence given during the trial of II
VI. burton for robbing the stage running between
Del Norte and Alamoosa takes us back to the good
Old times of Dick Turpin and Jerry Abershaw, and
offers the American Ainsworth, If we have one good
material LOT romance of rascality. Mr.. Burton
performed his felonlous operations with an amount
OF cheek which, employed in an honest business
might have beer fortune 70 him. Solitary and
alone he did the deed. There were eight men in The
piundered coach and ore woman, to say nothing Of
four passengers tho box and the driver-fourteen
IN all Ano yet no attempt was made TO resist the
h1ghwayman, not even by the woman who might
Mt least have screamed. Burton put bags over the
heads OF the men, compelled them 10 kneel and
made the woman hod the light for him. 1t is like
a page out of Gil Bias or the Newgate Calendar
Jack Sheppard never did anything doughtier Ac-
cording to The witness they all of the opinion
that Burton had at call large and we'll disciplined
and well armed company of bandits lie told the
passengers that they were covered by the guns of
DIS troop, and upon making the slightest re-
sistance would all be killed; and he was
believed For the rest, though he did not make tho
woman dance with him, he behaved in the most
gentiemaDly way, speaking with a soft, mellow
voice." After he had got all hat no could accord
ing to one witness he skipped off into the dark
ness" We have known men in the less romantic
business Of politics who managed to humbug the
world, even az Highwayman Bur. on deceived bis
victims, by pretending 10 have large following
These deceivers behaved precisely as if they had
thousands of supporters and could come TO the polls
any election day with large majority to back them
when IN point of fact they would have found it diff
hcult but for this dodge to rise to the dignity Of
scattering. 1t Is not best to take highwaymen or
some politicians at their estimate OF to believe
in anybodys majority until you see it in the election
returns. Senatorships and other less important
places have occasionally been won VI on this stand
