Members of City Council and all others
interested would do we'll to read the
article on the proposed change of grade
at Lowering avenue and dupont street,
published elsewhere. No one will ques.
ton that railroad crossings at grade
should be avoided wherever practicable,
but to do this in the manner contemplated
in this instance threatens, ii will be seen,
very serious damage to important vested
interests, and further, what affects every
taxpayer, to involve the city in oxpen-
sive litigation. Without assailing the
city solicitors opinion, ii stands to
reason that grade established 20
years ago cannot now BIO changed 10 the
detriment of private interests without in
yolying somebody in responsibility for
damagss--it may be the city or it may be
the railroad company, but it is we'll not 20
be in too big hurry about tlis measure.
Safety gates and tlagman may cost the
Railroad something, but would not impose
upon the city the expense Of defending
the suits that will follow the proposed
change Of grade

Ii. his letter to Attorney General Cas-

warming to the anthracite coal combina
ton and the trunk liue pool, 10 which the
people Of Pennsylvania shonld unitedly
lend their moral support IL the time is
not going by ii is time that IL should be
for creatures of the people 10 longer com
blue for the purpose Of understandable
extortions upon tho power that created
them. There il supposed TO be power IN
the constitution aud laws Of the state
to punish parties to such COM
binations; If that power is not
sufficient the Legislature can make it so,
The Philadelphia Record did good public
service year or two ago by making war
upon the coal pool in tactical way.
II private enterprise can nullify the fieec-
ing polieyof transportation combinations
to the extent that the Record did for the
people Of Philadelphia, without any aid
from the law, it is not altogether chineri-
cal TO hope that vigorous policy on the
part of the attorney general may be sup
plemented by similar but more extended
operations like those of the Record to
such degree us to eventually sicken, if
not destroy, the monopolistic serpent Of
coal and railroad pools. The power
which made these corporations can un.
malas them and an example in this direc-
ton could hardly fail to have salutary
effect. AS an exchange says:
If the monopoly Is to continue to exist
the price of eoal must be whatever II
chooses to make 1t, for the reason that II
controls the production and transportation
Of all the anthracite coal used. 1t can by d
word make the price what lt pleases, gut
