GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT OF RAIL.
ROADS.

Mr.. Hadley, in his comprehensive paper
in the Popular Science Monthly on the diff
eulties of railroad regulation, treats espe-
cially of State ownership of competing
railroad lines. He shows that the hopes
of benefits to be derived from that policy
have proven disappointing. "The private
railroads under such circumstances regu-
late those of the Government far more
than the Government regulates private
railroads" He adds that the system pre-.
vents the carrying out of any far-sighted
policy. If the private roads make money
the public will insist that the Government
roads must show no deficit. In Belgium
and Germany, where the experiment ha,
been tried on q large scale, the Govern.
ment roads are as ready to give rebates as
the private lines. In Belgium it deyel
oped that they granted special rates to al
who would agree not to ship by canal I'M
der any circumstances. Yet though canal.
as well as the railroads belonged to the Gov
eminent, still they fought each other il
this way. Italy has practically given W
State management. Another important
demonstration made is that to prescribe Z
rate which does not provide for fixed
charges is worse than a system that con
siders only operating expenses. In the
Mississippi valley, under the celebrated
Granger movement, the experiment wa.
tried of making all rates conform to the
competitive rates. 1t was argued that i
railroads could afford to carry competitive
traffic at very low rates, they could afford
TO do the same for local traffic. The result
was to destroy the ability of any roads tc
pay dividends, and frequently of power tC
pay interest on its bonds, while railroad
construction came to an absolute standstill
and development of the country wa:
checked. He cites the fact that railroad
profits are not nearly so high as is popu
larly supposed, they being less than foul
per cent. on the nominal capital The
whole spirit of the article is in conformity
with the conclusion reached by the Italian
Investigating Commission of 1878, thai
State railroads do not, as a rule, do Sc
much for industry as private railroads
that in general their rates were higher
their facilities worse, their responsibility
less; the State road management more APT
to tax business than to foster it, while po
litical considerations were brought into
matters of railroad construction and man.

AND now the French threaten our wool
interests. They claim to have discovered
a vegetable material that proves a good
substitute for wool, and they call it beran-
dine. 1t never has the scab, does not
suffer from vermin, is not killed by dogs
or wolves, needs no shepherd, and eats
nothing. Here's chance for wool-grow-
ers to boycott berandine.r

THE Red Bluff Peoples Cause thus

CHICAGO rioters looted drug store last
week and sought out the whisky jug. By
mistake they laid hold of the carbolic acid
bottles, and drank freely. As result, two
of them are dead. 1t is sad for the social
order in Chicago that there was not more
of the liquid imbibed. The Socialist who
does not know carbolic acid from the daily
tipple in which he INDUCES is an admir-
able fellow to reconstruct society.

The Tribune's Test.

Some time ago the New York
Tribune, with a great flourish of
trumpets, sent out a special list of
questions to all it's subscribers, to
get their views as to the best mode
of dealing with the Liquor Traffic,
agreeing to tabulate and publish
the replies as they came in.
The first batch of answers aggre-
eating 5000 stood more than 1900
for absolute Prohibition, with the
5000 scattering between High Ii
cense, Taxation and other theories
of revenue and supposed regulation.
We have seen nothing further
from the Trsbune's test. We won
der if the second installment of
opinions were still more unani-
mously against the Tribu'ae's own
teaching. Mr.. Whitelaw Reid per-
haps overlooked the fact, that the
Tribune readers had not forgotten
the wise teachings of their Prohi-
bitory preceptor, Horace Greeley.

will of the people be set up &c con.
spicuous and powerful that schem.
ing politicians will not dare to put
their corrupt hands upon it? Can
this petty fight that hinders the
noblest reform the world has
known, be lifted to a higher plane
of combat? The whole question
rests upon the protection of capital
invested in the manufacture Of in.
toxicants. The men engaged in
the manufacture of liquors are not
drunkards. They are in the bust
ness because there is money in
it. Take the money out of it, and
the whole traffic is gone. In Dor
chester's Liquor Problem, (page
28O), Mr.. Girsh Martin, a veteran
distiller of Peoria, Illinois. is quo
ted as advising his friends in these
words: There are less than 100
great distilleries in the whole
United States. Let a financial col
lapse of the distillery interest occur
now, or in the near future, and it
will scare every capitalist and bus
ness man from ever re-engaging in
the disti]lery business. Then
with the Temperance element
rampant and no money to fight
it with, Prohibition could be en-
forced, and in ten years there
would not be a distillery, a brewery
or a saloon in the whole United
States"
No one will question this mans
logic. Take the money GU. of the
manufacture of intoxicants, is the
short way of this reform. But
whose money is in it ? First, Uncle
Sam, himself, has an annual in.
come of nearly one hundred mil
lions of dollars from this business,
(shame on the nationD And then
every State and municipality, ex-
cept the few that have Prohibi-
tion, has an immense income from
license and taxes on the local sa-
looms. Can this state of things be
remedied? That is just what the
Prohibition party proposes to do.
We will fill every Office from Presi-
dent down to Constable, with men
who will refuse to live on the wa
ges Of iniquity. DR.. Curry, about
one year ago, cast sheer at the
Prohibtionists for the folly of conf
mencing an attack against the sa-
loon by canvass for the Presiden-
cy OF the United States. Mature
reflection would evidently reveal
more wisdom than folly in the
canvass. We are awaiting anxious
ly an opportunity to make another
canvass for the same Office. May
Providence spare our venerable DR..
G. to vote with US. If the monied
interests of the government, nation
al and State, were out of the liquor
traffic, and it was understood that
capital would not be protected in
the Ubiquitous business, the whole
question would be solved, Until
we reach this point, we cannot
have absolute Prohibition. So long
as capital is safe in this business,
so long will it continue in it. And
as long as the poison is made, it
will find consumption just as sure.
ly as the waters of the Mississippi
will find the Gulf. .-.
Here, then, is our higher aim of
Prohibition. But until we can
make the final amputation, per-
haps we would better cut off as
many fingers as we can with the
hope that some blood from the can
Ger may be drained out.
