at the rate of 80 per cent in 1882 over
1881, and 40 per cent in 1888 over 1882.
This extraordinary addition to the pro
ducing power of the natien. the Chroni-
Gle argues, must soon tell favorsbly on
the existing business depression, for al
though the opening of new territory can
not be expected to show full results In
the first or even the second year after
settlement, ''yet when il is rendered that
during the two years since the depres-
sion set in, more than iwenty-nine and
q quarter millions of government acres
have been entered upon, il will readily
be seen what wonderful recuperative
power this continued opening nf new
territory offers"

ELEMENrs..

Mr.. c. RoblI son. ofLaNrence, IN DIS
cussihg the s,t,iAtion, Of the opp stion
in the Second district, says: "The ques-
ton Is, have We The wisdom to contoll-
date the scattered elements against the
Republican party? ?" We should say
not. The Aforesaid ''scaIttrtd elements"
are, too macy of thrm. candidates for
congress and il they eah6sts be Domi-
mated they care little or nothing as TO

ponderance Of intellect among the
opponents to the Republican parry, and
had they been generally Is ima'ed ac-
cording to their own standard the state
would long ago have tilted 10 that direc
tlon, but fortunately the sensible and
solid Republicans have picked their
best man and elected him, end thus pre-
vented tbe threatsnsd calamity. They
will undoubtedly pursue the same
Wise course again, and give the scat
tered elemcuts," the unea4y politicians,
and tariff cranks their iTetiing and labor
for their pains. What good would be
gained TO that district or the state If
one of the scattered elements" were
sent 70 congress IN place of Republi-
CAM None whatever Not particle
of benefit would result TO the people.
Mr.. Haskell gave the old secoEd district
a national reputation. He was q credit
20 the district and state. and the Repub-
licans were wise in keeping him in
congress. They will show their good
sense by selecting some one of the
score OF good men of the perry as Mr..
Haskelrs successor at the Parsons con-
vention. and then seeing that he Is
elected, As he.can be II every Republican
will do his duty.
To show our readers just what Gov
ernor Robinson's scattered elements"
are AZ, and how sincere their professions
for tariff reform are we give the plank
of their platform enun;iated on that
question:

success than for tariff reform or the good
of the people, can fool the pc pple by

THE RIGHTs OF RAILWAYS.

81. Louis Globe Democrat; There
are two possible views about the rela-
tions existing between railroad corpora
tIons and the public According to one
opinion, railways, being chartered by
the government of q state for public
purposes. are justly subject to regulation
by the creator. In this aspect of the
case, the authority to direct the opera
tons and control the charges of com
mon carriers IS inaIienable. so that a
Legislature may lawfully and equiiAhly
fix transportation rates, and forbid dis
ordinations, even though some charter
specially gives corporation permission
to establish tariffs. 1t is wisely argued
that when private citizen, OF a combi
nation OF private citizens, dedicates
property to public use, and of course TO
zaie gain thereby, the public acquires.
aafnssest IN that use. This doctrine
hes Ren widely asserted by courts, as
weIes by legal writer's. and IL likely to
Be established beyond controversy.
Nevertheless, the idea that transpor
sstion company is, in important respects,
unlike , manufacturing corporation, for
example, does not command universal
recognition. There are those who ae-
knOwle<ige no special Obligation 10 the
Community On the part Of aggregated
capital 10 which the state has welded
the right to taks the real estate of ciii-
zensb by virtue of the principle of emf
nent domain. G. Stuart Patterson, a
writer Of this way of thinking, has an
article in the current Princeton Re-
view, setting forth this side OF "The
Railway Problem" Forcihly, if not con-
vincIngiy. This essay is commended TO
the attention of our readers, provided
they will study in connection Herewith
the conclusions of Judge Cooley, the
late Judge Black and several state su-
preme courts, in which public rights are
set before corporate privileges.
Mr.. Patterson Describes the conditions
OF transportation accurately. He says
that no law can lay down rates which
shall be be just for all articles, under all
and Tor ell time. This is
undoubtedly true. The Wlsest advocates
Of Congressional regulation of interstate
cOmmeCce, OF lsws to prevent unjust dis
and Of the supervision of
the great industry OF transportation by
railroad commiasIons, agree with him
here. He ridicules the suggestion of
equal millage rates, and so do all
rejecting minds. But ON the other
hand, Mr.. Patterson defends the
principle of charging "all that
the goods wi II bear" he over
looks altogether the truth that the only
preventive of unjust determinations as
between individuals Is the enforced pub
licity of rates; if he does not defend, he
at least does not condemn the practice,
which is common, though in some states
forbidden by the constitution or laws, of
charging more for short hanls than for
long haUls which include the short and |
denies the right of state to regulate in
any way the charges of a railroad COM
pany, unless the charter expressly re-
serves that right to tue state. In these
respects MIR. Patterson Is not so evident
lF-sound as in the others named.
