Gratifying Condition of the organiza-
tiou--The New Associations.
The work of the Young Mems Christian
Association is steadily growing in all parts
of the state. The more recent assoca-
tons organized have been at Castleton
and Middlebury. At the latter place Mr.
Albert Parsons, formerly of the Lowell,
Mass, association is general secretary and
is doing effective work.
The people of st. Adams have become
heartily interested in the work and nearly
$1,000 has been pledged by the business
men toward the expense for the first year.
They propose to open rooms adapted to
the general mass of young men, including
II gymnasium, bath rooms and parlors
well furnished, besides Il reading room.
State Secretary Avery has visited nearly
all the towns in the State and his trip has
resulted in stirring UP considerable in

Does not the fact that ~ states have a
commission in some form show that Il
very large proportion of the people of this
country have decided that the railroads
are to be supervised in some way 1t
would be interesting and profitable, had
we the space, to rehearse the history of
railroad legislation in England. Suffice
to say that as early as lS40 a committee OF
which Sir Robert Peel was chairman had
this matter under consideration and came
to the conclusion that free trade and com
petition would correct the evils. A sub
sequent committee having at its head ne
less person than the present Premier
Gladstone, finding that the recommends
lions of their predecessors had in no wist
relieved the evils complained Of desired
government ownership Of all railroads
More than 30 years elapsed, in which time
these and other eXpedients were tried tC
relieve the evils under which the whole
country suffered. In 1872 IA committee, OF
which the Marquis of Salisbury and the
Earl OF Derby were members, after re
viewing the whole subject, recommended
a railroad commission. This commission
was clothed with powers both judicial and
executive in their broadcast sense. This
board was apparently designed to give
equitable rates for the traffic of the coun
try and TO do away with the unjust dis
ordinations which had grown up under
previous management. The result of this
wise legislation ON the part of parlia
ment, which has been IN operation toT the
| last ii years, has been to bring peacbsanC
| prosperity to the roads themselves and t
practically settle the whole question in /
manner 80 satisfactory to all parties thai
