RAILROAD REGULATION.
EDITOR Posr ISrKLIdoEscER:

GbAAOn u
Following up my letter of the 1lth
instant. wherein / sent you an outline
Of railroad regulation act. what
could be a stronger argament in favor
OF such an "act of justice" than the
curt announcement of the withdrawal
OF the trains between Tacoma and Sc
attic IN your paper of today?
There is no question that the train
paid a handsome profit; that the traffic
was daily increasing: that the single
passenger car was generally flied to
overfiowing, SO much so that Superiu-
tendent Miner is reported to have made
reQuisition for two passenger cars for
the future, in place Of one; but like the
immortal Oliver Twist, of Dickens, he
had the audacity to "ask for more" and
R0t-none,
In the tiuse of the anti slavery contro-
versy, the argument of the opposite side
against the likelihood Of there ever
being such character in actual life as
Mrs. Beecher Stoves imaginary Legree
WAS, that the slave owners self interest
in the preservation of his human chat
tel. was of itself sufficient to make this
unlikely or impossible. Every one
knows the proved fallacy of the areu-
ment. The same thing has been said
once and again of railroad manage
ment-self interest is sufficient to pre-
vent their abusing or immolating their
unfortunate slaves, the public. Yet to
name no other instance than the an
nouncement of today-although fifty
might easily be got-aeainst manifest
self interest in the shape of profitable
daily train-a9ainst the wish of the
public for such accom- modation-aQains
even common sense. the railroad author
tiles pass a self denying ordinance that
they shall not reap the profit offered to
them-nor give the public the accom-
mediation they require, and are willing
to pay for.
Is 10 too much to expect the Railroad
Company to defend their presen,
ooursel Ii would be quite gratifica
tion 10 hear from them.
