The regulation OF railroads by state authority,
rs power for good, i no longer matter of e1S-
Deriineut or doubt. To be of the highest good.
however II does net need to be clothed with rlgor-
ouG cSact0ns or arbitrary authority. The laws
~houiI be fair and impartial TO all, and while
Suarling and protecting with unerrlng certainty
very RICH; AMI interest of the people, they should
De adequate to the just protection OF the real
rights Of capital.
The railroad companies doing business in the
state paid during the year S5S6,32S.5S toward the
:evenuc of the state: but sleeping cars are run
uing upon all roads Of any considerable magnltud"
i the state, aud upon most of the lines they are
owned by foreign companies, which make no re
port Of their cost or their earnings, and while they
are wealthy and mOney-making corporations
they pay no revenue to the state. This is wrong
and the error should be corrected by appropriate
legislation.
The Railroad Commissioner system in Wiscon
sin has been 4 success, and while the complaints
nave not been numerous they have always recelv
ed prompt attention. l am informed that during
long term of years not single case of litigation
ncS grown out of u complaint lodged with the
commissioner but i'll every instance an amicable
adjustment has been had satisfactory to all per
sons concerned. 1t has been found much easier
and better TO adjust than to ltigate, and in this
way Il better spirit has been developed and main
aimed between the people and the railroad corpor
atoms. see no reason to doubt that the harmony
now existing may continue uninterruptedfo for year:

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

The number of boys in attendance at the State
Industrial school at WauleSha on September 30th
last, was 299; average attendance during the year
321. There have been admitted during the year
81 boys; discharged, 100. TIE gathering together
of the hayward and ncorrjgible boys from every
community, compelling them to attend school
teaching them habits of industry and obedience to
just authority, and endeavoring to impress their
minds with just conceptions Of the true dignity of
manhood, is one of the most humane and prOfta
BILE duties of the state But the work requires
most studious and painstaling watchfunesS to
avoid the liability of making the inmate NOR
incorrigible or narrow and contracted in his use
fulness by too long reliance upon the institution
for advice and support The boy is sentenced be
fore the age of fourteen and may be kept there
until he is eighteen and have serious doubts as to
whether the term of attendance is not too long
to whether the institution should not be rather
more a school and somewhat less penal institu.
ton There is some force in the view that if a boy
cannot be reformed in two or three years so that
he can properly conduct himself in the cOmmuni-
ty, longer attendance in such an institution is not
only useless to him, but is fraught with danger to
his companions and may, and probably does, ex-
ert a very injurious influence upon the newer and
younger inmates of the institution.
