For corporations enjoying franchises OF great
value, from which the city derives no revenue,
the gas companies assume rather defiant air
before the Senate investigating committee.
The assumption that the public has no right to
know anything of their financial affairs VIII
hardly be found tenable. 1t is not improbable
that this investigation will result in enac'ing
the English law which compels gas companies,
among other things, annually to publish full
information concerning their receipts and ex-
pendtures. Street railroads and similar cor
pOrations which are dependent upon special
privileges for their existence are now COM
PEELED to make such reports, and there Is no
reason why the gas companies should be ex-
cluded from like supervision. They have been
permitted to tear up the streets at their pleas
ure, and have been protected from competition,
in return for which, according to the testimony
given yesterday, they have for years been man
aging their affairs under pooling agreement by
which the price of gas was nearly doubled, and
enormous dividends were paid. 1t Is time to
ascertain whether the public has any rights
which these corporations are bound to respect.

As the Assembly has decided not to investi-
gate the abuse of power by Judges in the issue
of injunctions, it ought at once to proceed with
legislation which will make impossible in
future scandals of the same kind. There was
no need of an investigation to determine the
evil {: and there is no need of delay in applying
the remedy Mr. Hubbelrs bill seems to meet
the difficulty, in which case it should be passed
at once.
The latest reports from the Soudan are of
such character as to create great alarm in
England. Not only is General Buffers force
hemmed in, but even Wolseley and Bracken-
bury are said to be in danger. The capture of
Khartoum furnished the Mahdi with guns and
ammunition and increased his prestige among
his tribes. According to the latest dispatches,
II the English rescue their forces now in the
Soudan without serious loss they will be fortu-

the dangers of the situation.

of no city in the world have so many and
diversified places of summer resort, within
easy riding distance, as have the inhab-
tants of philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania road, by means of
its many fast trains which leaye the sta
tion Broad and Market, daily, makes it
possible for the business man to summer
at the resort of his choice, without in
terfering in any way with his business in
the city. The roads facilities for the
rapid and careful handling and transport
tation of freight are incomparably fine.
Its recent enterprise in putting on fast
passenger trains, brings Chicago within
twenty three hours ride of Philadelphia,
and transports the traveller to Cincinnati
in eighteen.
Its road-bed is rock ballasted, its rails
are steel, its rolling stock of the most
approved pattern, and it's employees are
trained to habits of politeness and atten-
ton to the travelling public. Parlor-cars,
dining cars and sleeping cars are attached
where necessary, to trains; and it is one
of the wonders of modern roilroad travel
ing that the Pennsylvania, more than
any other road, has assisted in develop
ing and perfecting, that one can lire on
railroad train in as much ease and
comfort as in ones own home.
The Pennsylvania road never retro
grades. 1t always moves upward and
onward" and it uses all legitimate
means to compass this end. 1t is jealous
of the rights of its patrons, and quick to
defend them. The machinery of it's
management runs like well-oiled piece
of mechanism, smoothly and with
out jar or crash. Every new invention
in railroad economy is carefully investi-
gated. If its adoption is found to add
to the comfort, convenience, or safety of
the travelling public, no expense is spared
to secure its control. Its vast army of
employees are trained to observe this one
precept: THE comfort of our patrons
| above all else.' Its motto might Justly
be written thus: 'Speed-safety-com
| fort"

From Phild. Saturday Night, June 25th, 1885.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is one Of
the greatest systems of interstate COM
munication in the world. Long years of
careful and judicious management has
placed it in position above the fear Of
competition from rival lines. Its system
connects two oceans, and reaches, with
its tributary lines, every important point
in the country. Its appointments are
superb, and it has contributed more than
any other road to make travelling luxu-
ry. Accidents to it's employees or patrons
are matters of rare occurrence.
1t would take columns to describe in
brief its many advantages. Every safe
guard, every convenience, every comfort,
every luxury that ingenious minds have
devised and cunning hands fabricated in
railroad economy, are in practical opera
tion on the Pennsylvania.
The inducements it holds out to sum-
mer tourists are unparalleled. 1t con-
trolls direct chain of communication be-
tween Philadelphia and the ocean resorts
stretching from Sandy Hook to Cape
May Point. If the country is preferred,
the Pennsylvania road carries the trav-
eler to all important places in New York,
New England and Pennsylvania. Wheth-
er it is desired to summer in some quiet,
sleepy, inland town, or within sight of
| green fields and within sound of babbling
brooks in quaint old-fashioned farm.
house, or among the crags and cliffs OF
the Blue and Allegheny mountains, OF
on the health giving heights of Mount
Washington, this road carries you to the
chosen elysium quickly, cheaply, and
safely.
All the famous health resorts are tap
ped by it, and whether the invalid be at
f1icted with consumption or hay-fever
PENNSYLVANIA will take him to the place
of cure. Its enterprise has built up along
its main lines of travel, within a few
minutes ride of Philadelphia, hundred
little villages, and places that few years
ago were primeval wastes are now bright
with new life.
Villas and cottages, many of them as
sumptuously elegant as the palaces Of
the Old Wolld's mobiles, dot the hills
surrounded by carefully-kept grounds,
that in summer make picture of in
comparable rural beauty. The people
