Everybody Tired of the Fight.

The belief seems quite general among railroad
men that the railroad wars are nearing an end,
for the time being, at least Very favorable re-
suits are looked for through II Q Central Traffic
Association which was organized under such
favorable auspices at Niagara Falls, last week.
One of the representatives of Wester IN roads,
who in attendance, in commenting on the
latest phase of trunk-line affairs says:
'Things look better to me than
they have for long time. 1t really seems as
though turn in affairs was coming at last.
The Grand Trunk wants advance the Lacka-
wanna people are more eager for better rates
than ever knew them, the Erie wants q change,
and the Pennsylvania is ready for an upward
movement as soon as the rest will agree. AS to
the Central and West Shore, | think both sides
are getting tired. The Central has had to come
down to declaring n fractional dividend, which
some people don't believe has been earned" He
said indications are now that rates are to be re-
stored on July 49, and then maintained; or at
least the indications are all that wav. AS
said before, the situation looks very promising
If this fight between the Central and the West
Shore could be settled l think the trunk line
troubles could be arranged in a very short time.
The best sign is that everybody is getting tired
of the fight"

That it is the parent of uncounted crimes,
nightly perpetrated, is the record Of our public

Ouarreling Over Assessments.

The Missourians are having delightful time
in quarreing over the assessment of railroad
property in that State. 1t is claimed by the
Post Dispatch and other papers that the railroads
are not paying anywhere near as much tax as
they ought to pay. The Sedalia Democrat de-
clares that the railroads must be made to pay
their taxes, even though it be necessary to tear
up their tracks and stop their trains. The Den
yer Tribune says: This is just the style of a
boots and saddle Missouri paper" Possibly the
railroads are not paying as much tax as they
ought; but this does not justify newspaper in
making of itself to the extent of talking
about sto ppng trains and tearing up tracks If
it were not for the railroads. Sedalia, Mo-,
would, in the language of that State, be simply
'powhar."

These cars are sixty six feet in length from sill

The finish is about equally divided between solid

Causes of the Hard Times.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
One of the very remarkable phases of the
present depression is the fact that, unlike all
like periods that have preceded it in this coun-
try, 1t was got brought about by overtrading
abroad, for the balance of trade has for several
years been in favor of this country. Neither is
there any scarcity of money, for it is agreed that
there is ml-e money in this country than ever
before. and not dollar of it at discount The
country, also, never possessed greater plenty
OF food, clothing and all that goes to make up,
IN these respects, the complement of general
prosperity. The fact is that the existing period
of business depression is without parallel in the
history of the country, and cannot be accounted
for as such times ordinarily have been hereto
fore But there are reasons for this condition
of things and may possibly be found in another
direction.
Suppose that Ward and Fish should have es-
capped the penalties of the law. and, after e

The Maximum Not Yet Reached.

The nearest approach to constituting railroad
management fixed element that can be esti-
mated with any degree of certainty is found in
great corporations like the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, which have been in existence
long enough TO educate their own managers. A
company pursuing certain general line of
policy, and having an established system of pro-
motion, comes, in the course of years. under the
control OF managers who have grown up in the
service, men who bear the stamp of their pro
fsssiOn, and who at once give character TO aud
reflect the character of that profession Such
companies attain more nearly To the perfection

Closed Down.

The Cooke locomotive works, Paterson, N. J.
closed yesterday for an indefinite period. This
action is due to the great depression in the loco
motive business. These works have in the past
done any work that could be got in dull times
for the sake of maintaining the organization
and to keep the machinery moving. This step
shows that confidence is had in the prospects
for Improvement. About 300 men will be laid
off. Only one of the three large locomotive shops
there is left running, and that with about only
one tenth Of its full force of men.

of service than any others, and the example
noted-the Pennsy lvania--is credited with being
the first in the world in this respect. But even
that management which reaches most nearly to
perfection is still constantly improving and,
although the Pennsylvania road could doubt
less DO more work with the equipment
than any other line, yet, under pressure Of Il
steady demand for still greater accomplishment
than has ever yet been reached, 1t would be
found that the capacity of the road had still
elasticity enough to extend beyond the limits
heretofore deemed the maximum.
