A GENERAL STREET RAILWAY BILL.
1 MEASURE DRAWN BY THE RAILROAD COMMITS
sIoNERs.

4 MEASURE DRAWN B1 The kAlLkOAD COMAlS-
sIoNERs.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
ALBANY. Feb. 1.-THE Railroad Commissioners
Tonight presented to the Legislature general
street railway bill. The Constitutional aInsad-
ment passed in 1875 foIbds the granting by the
Legislature of any charters for the construction of
street railways. The amendment authorizes the
LeCisla IRE, however to pass a general law under
which street railway companies may be organized.
For many years the Legislature has attempted 10
take advantag of this authorization but its abors
have proved futile. Every year there has been
some Objectionable feature included in the bill. Usu
nIly il has been provision TO give emen who have
ATTEMPTED 10 put street railway through Forty
second-st New-York. full authority to accomplish
their purpose The present bill is distinguished by its
making no reference to Forty-secOnd-st. Acursory
glance through the measure indicates that it has
been drawn without regard to any specuiations in
street railway property ii New-york. Broadway is
not exempted, as in previous bills. The bill is also
notable for an attempt to secure for cities in
come for the franchises they may grant to the street
railway companies.
Railroad Commissioners Herman and Rogers rec
ommend that the companies be compelled TO pay 2
per cent of their gross receipts for the first five
wears of their existence into the treasures of the
cities whose streets they occupy and that after
that time they perDetually pay o per cent
nm the GROSS receipts Commissioner OD0nnel
recommended that the Railroad Commissioners
haze authority to learn the cash capital actually
exDended in the construction OF the railways ana
that the Legislature shall then have authority TO
reduce the fares il the receipts give income OF
more than 10 per cent on the investment.

The Eleventh Command
memt.
Boston Traveller

1t is a very nice distinction that
the Cleveland apologists make be-
tween personal public character
and personal private character.
They hold that Biaine's character
as connected with business enter
prises is personal public character,
and hence fairly open to criticism.
Bnt Cleveland's character in the
matter Of morality is, they think,
in the nature of personal private
character, and not fairly open to
comment This seems to bring
moral philosophy down to the
very simple axiom that man may
be as foul as he likes privately SO
long as he preserves decent front
view for the public edifcation.
"My son. said the old cynic to his
son, ''you can break all of the ten
commandments with impunity if
only you remember to keep the
eleventh-'Thou shalt not get
found out. And yet we doubt
if this kind Of moral philosophy
will prove satisfactory to the aver
age American voter.

REFLECTIONS OF THE WIFE OF A
GEORGIA EDITOR AFTER VISITING
GETTYSBURG
Among the ladies accompany
ing the recent Georgia editorial
excursion was the wife of the edi-
tor of the Georgia Enterprise,
published at Covington, in that
state. After gazing at the Get
tysburg battlefield, she gives ex-
preston to her feelings in the
following burning strain of elo-
quence:
Here took place the only SER
ious encounter in a free state, and
no reflective mind will deny that
there was a moral force back of
the issue which hung in the bal
ance here that decided the fate of
three days bloody conflict. Here
the army Of the Union fought for
home and hearthstone, as well as
for freedom. Amid the peaceful
scenes of to-day it is hard to re-
call that these stony hills saw
prodigies of valor scarcely paral-
leled in the history of war. These
grassy slopes and plains were
bathed with the hearts blood of
as brave and gallant men as fought
at Thermopylae or died at Mara
thon-the turning point Of war.
Yon clump Of trees, Ziegler's
woods, marks the extreme line of
Southern invasion. 1t was there
the proud crest of the advancing
wave was beaten into bloody spray,
and sullenly fell back from the
rock Of heroic resistance. The
same sun of the summer solstice
that wheeled his chariot across the
sky this noontide, on each of those
