The Lake Erie g western.

A representative of the Journal yesterday had
a half hours talk with E. Fl. Waldron, who has
just returned from New York, where he has
been for conference with the Lake Erie &
Western reorganization committee. Mr..
Waldron states that at last they seem
to have hit upon a plan, the points
of which were published in the Journal few
mornings ago, which will be carried out The
trouble has been that there are four factions to
harmonize, each faction holding first mortgage
bonds on as many divisions of the road, and each
syndicate, so to speak is jealous of the others in
terests. The parties holding the bonds of the
divisions east of Muncie have been the most
troublesome to arrange with under the reorgani-
zation plan. as they are asked to take preferred
stock for their bonds. A little heroic treatment,
however, has brought them to their senses the
threat to cut them off at Nun
Gle having showed them their help
less condition. The Vanderbits, who
are large holders of the first mortgage bonds of
the Lake Erie q Western proper, have consented
to the latest scheme of reorganization which

The Regulation of Railways.

Prof. Arthur Hadlev on Tuesday evening last
delivered an address on the State regulation Of
railroads in Springfield, Mass before the Con-
necticut Valley Economic Association. In the
course Of his remarks he said that the rail-
road service OF the country as a whole
Is well and efficiently managed. and that
the service is cheap by any standard, but that
the evils came from differences of rates. Con-
solidaton has reduced the rates. but it has at
the same time concentrated power into few
hands against which the individual shipper is
poweress. 1t is this that brings out the demand
for State control, and even for State ownership.
Professor Hadey thinks State control necesr
ownership OF railroads, which he regards as
one OF the worst political evils that could befall
the country involving unlimited corruption 1t
seems to be generally accepted that State control
shall be by means OF commissions and the best
commissions IN practice have been those that
had merely advisory powers. The speaker ia
vored national commission with such advisory
powers and with the power to give publicity to
the method by which roads are managed, and
having wide discretion in the exercise OF its
powers. For the evils Of Discrimination of rates
he believes the best remedy to be pooling sys-
tenn under State regulation and control. The
pooling system has not been wisely managed
heretofore, its good and bad features being in
discriminatory condemned and the law refusing
to recognize or enforce any pooling contracts.
But what has been accomplished in the way of
overcoming discrimination of rates either here
or In Europe has been done by means of pools.

The Dressed-Beef Rate war.

The letter published in the New York Times
regarding the dressed-beef war, and signed by
Commissioner Fink, is attracting considerable
attention, as it puts different phase on the
question. This letter shows that early in the
year 1879 the regular tariff for transporting
dressed beef to New York from Chicago was 81
per 100 pounds. 1t was then reduced to 90
cents then to so cents. then to rs cents. then to
70 cents, and after the 1st of March. 1886, it will
be Go cents per 100 pounds. Of these reductions
the public certainly have no right to complain.
Commissioner Fink says as far the public
the consumers--are concerned they have no in
terest in these quarrels The question for them
to decide is a simple one, namely whether the
charges made by the railroads are reasonable in
themselves. The charge will now be IS cents
per 100 pounds, or about 1116 cent for a
pound of beef in New York. A person who
consumes one pound of meat per day in New
York pays for transportation over 1000 miles
of railroad ST. 35 per year This does not seem
an unreasonable charge. AS compared with for
mer charges, it will be seen that there has been
constant reduction in the regular tariff, while
during long periods such extremely low rates
have prevailed that it may be said the railroad
companies have actually paid out money in addi-
ton to performing the service.

A Matter of Surprise.

Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany are said to be much surprised at the opposi-
ton which has sprung up to their insurance re-
lief fund. and if possible they propose to so
modify it as to make it acceptable to the EN-,
ployes The primary object of the railroad com.
pany in projecting this scheme was to supplant
like organization among its employees by itself
providing method for insurance. The com
pany's scheme covers its whole force, while the
voluntary organizations it proposes to dsplace
are made up of part of the body of employees.
The proposition which the employees are now
weighing in the scales is whether the financial
advantages of the railroad company's plan will
offset the advantages which the employees OBJ
tain through their own organizations. It seems
to be conceded that if all the employees shall be
required to enter into the insurance scheme, then
the associations and brotherhoods which they
have formed will soon lose their cohesiveness
and will be forced to disband.

goes . long way toward assuring its success.
Mr. Waldron says he is well satisfied that
the road will pay the interest on the
new bonded debt should the company
reorganize on the basis it suggests When
questioned as to the prospects of his being made
general manager Mr. Waldron said that was a
matter to settle in the future, but admitted that
indications were that way He added
that the Journal would be safe in stating
that following the reorganization. there would
be general change in the management. He
said he was asked to come to Now York more to
advise with the committee of the bondhoders,
he being well posted as to the condition of the
property and its needs in the way of improve
ments He states that the road will be sold at

Navy REORGANIZATION.

Washington, March. 5--The house
committee on naval affairs has compet-l
ed its report to accompany the bill pro-
viding for the increase of the naval
establishment. 1t points ont that the
sea coast cities are absolutely at the
mercy OF amy second rate naval power,
and that the government is without ade-
quate means of defending its foreign or
oosstwise commerce. 1T shows that
while foreign powers are building formi,
dable naval vessels the United States is
almost at standstill in this particular,
and says: After studying the char
hcteristics OF other navies, we find that
we are not only at the mercy of foreign
nations, but that our neighbor, Brazil,
might exact tribute OF any city along
our gull or the Atlantic couet. Chill
could enforce similar demands on the
shores of the Pacific. The Reacbeuts,
and Aquidrabau, those formidable Bra
zjlian armored cruiserH could steam at
thirteen or fourteen knots an hour from
Brazil to New York in ten deys, They
could with impunity pass onr forts and
anchor in Naw York harbor; but with
out dong this, their guns could easily
throw shells INTO New York City from
off Coney Itiand beach. In view OF
this state of affairs. the committee re-
commepds the compilation ofrhe moni-
| tors and recommend the building ol
| the vessels and torpedo boats dis
| cussed IN the bill already published.

report the Lowell bankruptcy bill to the
house one week from lhursday next.
The member making the report said the
blli had been considerably amended, but
the members were instructed to keep
secret the details. There was consider
able diversity of opinion among the
COMMITTEES as TO the form OF bill to be
reported. The vote stood 8 to in favor
of reporting the lowell bill, but at least
one of the affirmative votes was cast
solely from desire to have the geuerel
subject in the house. The order TO re-
port the measure week from next
Thursday was made to givethe minority
opportunity TO prepare substitute. II
is understood that several of the minor
ity are opposed to the enactment of.any
bankrupt act, while others intend to re-
port q substitute in the nature of the
bill introduced by Seney. The bill pro
yided in substance that debtor may
make an assignment of his effects in
trust for all of his creditors, and may
within year petition the courts to be
released. Ii the court ID satisfied that no
creditors have been preferred during six
months preceding the assignment, and is
otherwise convinced of the good faith of
