Making a Mistake in the Outset.


It is stated that Commissioner Blanchard
proposes to withhold from the press the pro-
ceedings at their various meetings. This is a
mistake. The more important action taken
will leak out, and it is much better to have it
reported directly from the minutes of the meet
ing, or upon information of the secretary, than
in points which reporter will catch onto when
circulating around among railroad men to as
certain what was done. The railroad interests
of this country have become too largely inter
woven with business generally to admit OF COW
ing up the proceedings of any conference
of railway officials. An honorable newspaper
reporter is as competent as is Commissioners
Blanchard to understand what information
should be placed before the public through the
press, and, further, any honorable newspaper re-
porter would readily refrain from publishing
any information which would be damaging to
railroad interests if requested so to do by any
official who holds prominent position There
is nothing which will sooner put live newspa-
per man on his metal and make him determined
to secure information he desires than for rail
road official to snub him, and there is nothing
good newspaper reporter desires more than the
confidence of railroad officials; and anything
given to him in confidence seldom appears in
print.

rolling stock to the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific,
May %, 1880. By the terms Of the lease
the Wabash road was to pay as rental
80 per cent OF the earnings of the leased road;
besides interest on 81. 900, 900 Of income bonds.
Default was made by the Wabash in payment OF
the rent and on May %, 1885, the court ordered
Scion Humphreys and Thomas E. Tut, receivers
of the Wabash, 10 surrender the Toledo, Wabash
g. Western to the petitioners as trustees under
its mortgage. The petition of the trustees set
out that by the lease the Wabash was to restore
the rolling stock In good order. A list is given
of thirty three caboose coal and box cars, valued
at 81, 700, which have not been returned. The
court is, therefore, asked to compel the receiver
of the Wabash to pay the above amount The
petitioners also ask the court to compel Humph-
reys to pay over to them S164, 81, being the
amount of the net earnings OF the Toledo, Eco
ria IL Western actually received by the Wabash.
The matter will come up for argument before
Judge Gresham on Friday morning next
StilI CIamoring for a Reduction in Rates.
A strong pressure is being brought to bear
upon the general freight agents to induce them
to reconsider the vote to make no reduction of
east-bound rates with the opening of navigation.
and evidently the shippers still have faith that
they will accomplish something in this direction.
Speaking of the matter. the Chicago Times says:
s'The position assumed by the trunk lines, as
given out is that they would rather maintain
rates on a small tonnage than induce the ship
ment of increased amounts at professionally low
rates This is all very well if the high rate did
not become practically prohibitory. as it is at the
present time in its application to the Western
roads that confront lake competition. The rule.
made one Of the cardinal points of the famous
trunk-line compact that connection, pro-
rating and other usual facilities
should be refused to any Of the
Western lines which openly refuse to maintain
rates has been substantially enforced, and has
supplied the coercive force that has kept the
roads measurably in order. Whether, If the
present Insignificant tonnage continues, it will
result in an open effort on the part of some OF
I'll Western lines, which are the chief sufferers
by this state Of thing to get rid OF the trunk
inc domination remains to be seen. Perhaps.
when the trunk lines have secured their share OF
the enormous amount of grain afioat on the
lakes, they may have some CON passion on their
Western allies and permit reduction in the rate
Nothing could emphasize the above remarks
more than the statement of the movement for
the past week. The total is LII, 1888 tons, de-
crease from the previous week of ! 76l tons and
from the corresponding week of 1885, of 43, 432
tons. AS the provision movement is almost
fixed quantity, seldom VARYING more than 500
tons, it follows that the grain and flour move
ment is almost too Insignificant to record"
