A More Liberal Policy Needed.

Mr.. Cassatt sails away from the Penn
sylvania railroad, in whose service lie ellas
achieved his fame and fortune, and goes
for a resting time to Europe. 1t is not
likely that his railroad abilities will be
long retired from service, though at
what point they will re-appear is un.
known. Mr.. Cassatt enjoys high re-
pute rs 4 railroad manager. lie has
been credited with being the real mana
ger of the road he has left. It may be
that he abandons it, however, because
he has been hampered in this exercise of
his discretion. lie has had charge of its
transportation. His chief subordinate,
Mr.. Creighton, who has had immediate
charge Of the freight business, leaves
simultaneously with him, having sud-
denly rendered his resignation Oh the
18th inst. to take effect on the 18th. 1t is
known that he has felt himself to he a fig
ure-head, charged with responsibility
which he was not free to exercise ut his
discretion. Whether he was hampered
10y Mr.. Cassatt, or along with him, is a
question. 1t is certain that great dis
satisfaction has been felt by the business
community at the policy of the Pennsyl.
vania railroad in the matter of freight
rates and supplies of cars. The local
business along the main line of the road
has been the chief sufferer. Charges
have been higher and the facilities of
carriage inadequate. There is no doubt
at all that this local trade has been un-
justly treated. 1t has not been fost cred
and cared for as it should he. 1t is a
general complaint along all the lines of
railroad which reach out to the great
West for their business and are tempted
to make their local trade pay
the profit which they cannot get in
the sharp competition with each
other for the long hauls of freight.
There is no fair proportion lie.

from Chicago or st. Louis to the sea-
board and from Lancaster. This is
chronic complaint. Whether the retired
officers of the Pennsylvania railroad
would have helped it if they could we do
not know nor whether the evil will he
lessened under the new regime. We will
soon see. If a more liberal policy per-
vades the present management the state
has gained by Mr.. Cassatt's departure,
and his reputation will suffer. 1t is SO
incontestably the best policy for rail.
road to protect the industries along its
line that the manager who does not
recognize and act upon it shows himself
to be a very bad manager. The interest
of a railroad is that of the people along
itsline, and it can only he successfully

THE Camden congressional! convention
yesterday took its medicine without a
grimace. Even the nauseous approval of
the river and harbor bill could not turn
its stomach but, thon, the members had
made up their minds to swallow Robson,
and no other dose could affect them. They
could have even praised the Star Route
verdict without gagging.

strange, therefore, that new trial should
bave been granted to tho two defendants

that tho trial has been failure, for it has
shown that the g ui!t Of the accused can

"lKEY SOLOMUNS.'

Frank lsash at the Opcra House Last Night.
The alleged comedy of Ikey Solo.
mons was given before Il small audience
at Fulton opera house last night by no
stretch of thei kindliest imagination can
the performance be said to have had any
merit outside OF MIR. Frank Bush's He
brow character impersOnatiOn, which was
an aggravated and amusing caricaturc,
intended to give the actor opportunity for
the introduction of tho speciality business
that he made effective when ON the variety
stage. This was particularly well received
by last nights audience and Mr.. Bush 5
limitations were capital. Tho other per-
formers were uniformly bad, while Of tho
play itself the less said the better. 1t is
Of the weakest and flimsiest sort and the
effort to find plot or purpose in anything
enacted during the performance was dis
tressing. Possibly the only idea is to
make people laugh !; but in that case it
would DO better for the audience if
all save the title character were
kept off the stage altogether aud let
Bush have FREQ run. Mono of tho other
characters mean anything, and none of
tho actors can act at all. The piece didn't
seem to have any beginning or any ending
and certainly no ono would suspect the
existence of & story in the succession of
Incidents that are lugsed in to fill up tho
intervals between Bush's business. There
are a lot of people who seem to be in hard
luck pretty much all tho time and who arc
alternately seen in New York or London,
as the case may be, and the unities arc
preserved by the presence OF villain of
tho deepest dye and a gypsy in Il red dress,
the former of whom is deeply concerned in
an effort to get an innocent maiden in
his power" but who is always balked by
the timely interference Of Ihey Solomons.
1t is kindness to Mr.. Bush to advise him
to go back to tho variety stage, or else to
get some one to write play for him that
will give him chance to Introduce his
funny business without dragging it in by
tho neck and heels as was done in last
nights awkward and meaningless per-
formanSe.
