Plymouth Church Entertainment,

The chapel last evening presented brilliant
and busy scene. Tasteful and well furnished
fancy tables lined the east end of the room.
On the north side was the attractive flower
table, well patronized and gracefully served.
The supper tables were constantly filled by
those who found the bill of fare both appe-
thing and generous. A large attendance
thronged the room and made the social fea-
ture of the occasion most prominent and
very enjoyable. A goodly representation from
other churches were there and were cordially
welcomed by the habitues of this active
church. Altogether the entertainment was
very successful, and certainly few have ever
rivaled it in the variety of the enjoyment af-
forded aud the genial abandon that character
lied the generous hospitality of the Plymouth
ladies'

could be got out of the disastrous state OF

clans did not yet feel that they had made the
most of their opportunity.
Consequently the Railroad Commissioners
recently promulgated new schedule of area.
sonable rates." averaging about 80 per cent
lower. it is stated than the reasonable rates "
fixed by the same Commissioners in December.
One thing is certain The Commission now
seeks to compel the railroads TO carry freight
fOr much less than the rates which 1t olhcially
fixed five months ago. though there has been
no Improvement in business, no increase IN the
traffic obtained or probably Obtainable by rail-
roads, no reduction but a material increase In
the cost of transportation, and no other change
of any kind to justify this Standardization.
Rut one EXPLANATION can be found for a change
so extraordinary-tha some politicians are I'M
patient to win the favor of such farmers as may
care nothing for justice or the public interests

make up for losses there by higher charges on
all transportation between points within the
State and points outside Of its jurisdiction. In
that case very heavy losses will fall upon the
producers of Illinois, and upon great number
of its citizens who are employed by, interested
in or dependent upon its railroads. 1t is more
probable, however, that costly litigation will
show the impossibility of enforcing the new
rules of the Commissioners. The effect OF their
action, under the law, is to give prima tac'e
proof, in any suit between individuals and the
companies, that rates higher than those named
by the Commissioners are not reasonable. but
such suits can be taken into United States
courts, and without that recourse 1t Is sale TO
say that no unprecedented court anywhere would
regard the new schedule rs better proof than
the higher schedule of December. If the roads
transport at rates which these Commissioners
declared reasonable in December, courts will
want some evidence beyond the bare assertion
of the Commission that the same rates are ex-
tortionate and unreasonable i'll May.

system in New-Yorbl What would be the
effect if politicians should have power to

under similar circumstances. 1t il not q long
time since a number of men were detected in
election frauds in Philadelphia. They were
tried, convicted, and are now rejecting upon
the error of their ways in the Penitentiary.
Public sentiment, including that of both par
ties, applauded the business of their sentence,
and in no way was there an effort made to inn
pede the course OF Justice. At recent election
in Albany, similar experiment was made, with
similar result. Three repeaters have been
sent to prison, eight election inspectors have
been indicted and three others are likely to be.
We have seen no defence of their cOuTse, no
partisan appeal for the arrest of the law i'll

bons frequently remark, that there are frauds
in elections at the North as well as at the South.
1t is also true that while the perpetrators of the
frauds in the North are punished and arc repu-
dated by all decent people, their fellow
criminals in the South are allowed by public
sentiment, which applauds their crime, to go
unpublished. The South will sooner or later
see the folly as well as the guilt of this course,
and until she does see it she will be Stunned by
capital and by honest men in all parts of the

"REASONABLE RATES"

Members of Congress who are considering
the expediency of establishing National Com
mission for the regulation of railroads, and
members of the Legislature who wish to know
what powers should be entrusted to n Com
mission, if formed, in this State may profitably
examine the results of the organization in Illi-
nois Both the economic and the political con-
sequences of such legislation are illustrated 10y
this passage of history.
The Illinois law originated in the Granger
excitement of about ten years ago. At first
decisions strongly adverse to the railroads were
rendered, and prolonged and costly litigation
resulted Then the railroads concluded that it
was worth while to secure the selection of
reasonable Commissioners. For some years
things went smoothly; the State shared in the
gradual but large reduction of rates which
occurred elsewhere hut the value of railway
properties greatly appreciated, new facilities
were opened in every direction, and very little
complaint was heard. Last year there came Il
short crop. The farmers sustained large
losses, and naturally became anxious to have
those losses reduced as much as possible by
low rates for transportation. The lowest rates
ever known were in fact granted. But some
active politicians thought it a good time to
serve their own interests by reminding the an
tagonism between the Changers and the rail-
roads 1t matters not whether they were OF
one party or the other, nor whether common
rumor is right as to the origin of the subse-
onent movements. The bare record of official
acts will suffice TO show the workings of the
system.
About the first of December the Railway
Commissioners issued a new schedule of rea-
sOnable rates. as they have power to do under
the law 1t is not necessary to ask whether the
rates then officially fixed were actually lower
than they should have been; the Commits
sioners themselves claimed credit for their ac-
ton Oh the ground that the rates were from 20
to 80 per cent lower than those established by
similar Commissions of Granger origin III Wis
consin and Missouri and voters of the State
were asked to consider what great benefits this
staunch and faithful Commission had secured
to them. The railroads did not find it easy 70
comply with these rates in all cases. but traffic
was very small, competition was unrestrained
and severe, and they were generally ready TO
take any business they could get at almost any
rates. December, January and February
brought no improvement The railroads
struggled along through the worst season for
MANY years. while the farmers were helped by
q gigantic speculation to get extravagantly
high prices for whatever products they had to
sell. Consumers of the East suffered the COM
merce of the country suffered the enhanced
cost of production brought about q host of
strikes and other controversies between labor
and capital and railroad properties declined
greatly i'll market value. Whatever profit
