The CLARION came out this week
without iicrcely attacking the railroad
development of the state. Good
Nicksburg Herald.
We submit that this is neither fair
nor courteous journalism 1t would
make but little difference if all the read
ers of the Herald were also readers of
THE CLARION. They could then Judge
the assertion of the former by what we
have really said As for RAILROAD do
velopment," we have labored for it in
cessantly. Nor have We attacked Rail
road Management "fcrcely" or even
mildly. AS friends Of the Railroad in
terests and the public, DESTROYS to see
justice done to both, and with no feeling
except the heartiest good will to both,
we have advocated such legislation as
will bring the corporations and the peo-
pie to proper understanding of their
relations to each other. tits the height
Of folly to say that legislation il un-
friendly which accomplishes this end
and insures the public against extortion,
discrimination and favoritism in the
management of corporations which
though created to make money for the
investors, are also created to serve the
public. We have the experience of
twenty-four States, embracing those in
which Railroads have been the most
prosperous under supervisory legislation
and it is worse than nonsense to assume
that it is a dangerous innovation to fol-
low their example when they have been
prolific of beneficial results to the pco-
pie and to the corporations themselves.
In our next paper, we will publish an
article on the uses and benefits of Rail
road Commission for which we will in
advance bcspeak the attention Of the
Herald,
