REPORT OF TIE RAILROAD ADyIS-
DRY COMBUSTION,

The Advisory Commission appointed
by the trunk line railroads to settle the
question of differential rates and other
disputes, seems to have made report,
and, after several months of cogitation,
seems to have found that the railroad
companies don't need any adviee-that
they are pursuing the only. practicable
course in the adjustment of the ques-
tions of competition that can be sug-
gested.
The conclusion of the commission as
viewed by the New York Times is, in
effect, "that the existing arrangement
conforms to the requirements Of the
normal and healthy flow of traffic.
Rates must be a matter Of agreement
between the several lines, and they
must be the same to and from the same
points, regardless of distance and actual
cost; and difference in favor of Phila-
delphia and Baltimore is demanded by
the requirements of equity and general
prosperity. But the conditions are
constantly varying, and the policy of
the railroads have to change froms time
to time to meet their requirements, asst
has changed heretofore. The assump-
ton seems to be that the change in con-
ditions is beyond the control Of the rail-
roads, and a substantial conformity of
their policy with those conditions,
whatever they may be, is something
which they cannot long resist or pre-
vent.

Reducing the Tobacco Tax

FnItuOcQDhtu Lt1eS.
The Senate has done something in the
line of reform in voting reduction of the
tobacco tax. This is of value simply be-
cause it reduces somewhat the surplus rev.
enue which Congress is wasting. But this
kind Of tinkering at the internal tax laws
is not what is required. The whole scheme
of the tobacco tax is burdensome and in
iquitous and it ought to be abolished alto
gether. If revenue is required from this
source the stamp tax on the manu-
featured product is quite sufficient. That
is rational tax, that is easily levied and
is collectable with comparative economy
and without much embarrassment to in
dustry. But the present inquisitorial sys-
tenn that subjects the grower of tobacco to
burden and annoyance that would not be
tolerated in the case of any other natural
product could only be defended under the
stern necessities Of war. In timeof peace it
ought TO be abolished, even if it were a
more productive source of revenue than
il is.

His Triumphal March Through the

Hon. ]. Hanson Good seems to be mono.
policing the Congressional canvass in this
district at present. Having first secured
the Pan Handle he then moved down upon
Wetzel, and in six hours by the regulator,
every Democrat in this portion Of the
county was an enthusiastic Good man.
Tyler was the next territory invaded and
in two hours Col Dan. hadn't corporaPs
guard left, and had asked for quar-
ter. From Tyler to Harrison and
from thence to Lewis, Gilmer and Braxton
it was more triumphal march than any
thing else, and even in the land Of bod
bridge. the people rose up to do him honor.
And we are glad that it is so. We like j..
Hanson, and we would be glad to see his
long weary years of waiting rewarded, but
we fear it is not to be. Upon the surface
"all seems lovely" but, alas! things are
not Just as they SEEM"
We are not managing the canvass for
Wheeling's "fayorite son." but we will
whisper to him not to believe all that he
hears-by a very large majority.
