The Sentiment In Favor of the Consoli-

at Boston.
Boston, April ga sentiment in ia
vor of the consolidation of the Mexican
Central and The AtchisOn, Topeka s.
Santa Fe railroad companies has been
quietly growing for some time past in
influential circles in Boston. There is
a strong party forming in the Atchison
company desiring the consolidation of
the Atchison and the Mexican Central,
the election of President Strong, now
of the AtchIsOn company, as vice pres
ident and general manager, and Pres
ident Thomas Nickerson, now of the
Mexican Central railroad company, as
president of the consolidated company.
The Transcript has reason to believe
that some OF the largest and most con-
sentative owners of Atchison stock have
pronounced in favor of this pro-
iect. Ii is argued that the
Atchison company always pur-
chases the extensions which Its mana

THE ANrI-MoNoPoLIsrs.
Proceedings of Their Convention il
NeN York.

ALBANY, n. Y, April 2G.-At the
evening session of the anti-monopOly
convention Emerson i. Davis was chO.
sen permanent chairman. The report
vi the committee on resolutions was
adopted. 1t proclaims some genera
principles and declares that the public
welfare and safety demands the follow
ing specific measures of relief.
l. Laws compelling transportion COM
panies to base their charges for passen-
gers and freight upon the cost and risk
of service with Il fair profit added, in
stead of upon the new theory of advanc-
ing them by what the traffic will bear.
,. Laws to prohibit the establishment,
through construction companies or other
devices, OF fictitious or fraudulent cost
for works Of a public nature, and pro-
hibiting unjust discrimination against
individuals and localities.
3. A railroad commission for the state
of New York which shall have adequate
power to see that these laws are enforced,
and the commission should be non-par-
tisan in its character.
T. Free canals and liberal policy to-
ward our other water ways, which, dur
ing the season of navigation, are of po-
tent effect in preventing exhorbitant
charges by railroads.
5, ProhiSition against free passes and
more efficient laws against the crime of
bribery, and for the protection and pur-
ity of the ballot, and securing full power
TO the people over the nominations at
primary elections.
6. Public service in all its depart
ments should be founded on honesty
and capabllity.
T. Equal rights and equal taxation for
all, so that every citizen and every cor
poratiOn, association or company, shall
have the full protection of the election
laws, and bear its full and equal share
of the burdens of the government.
8. A free, unsubsidiZed press. This
bulwark of free institutions must be
maintained in all its purity. Journals
which may have been purchased by mo-
| nopolists must be distrusted, and those
| which aae not thus subsidized must be
sustained by the people.
The resolutions also declare If the ex

trolled by monopoly influence as to ig
more or disregard these just and statutory
measures, then the organization of dew
party will lie lmperatively demanded
