Interstate Commerce.

II seems altogether probable that some
measure in regard to interstate commerce
will become a law at this session. Two
bills relating to this matter have been be.
fore Congress, known As the Reagan bill
aud Cullom bill A conference committee
has been employed in the endeavor to pre-
pare bill embodving the most approved
features of these two bills and whatever
original suggestions or opinions might
present themselves to the committee. The
committee has completed its work and the
bill is now ready for consideration and
action by Congress.
One of the important features of the
bill is the prohibition of the pooling sys-
tenn, which has become such feature of
railroad traffic. Publicity of rates is to
be enforced through the posting of printed
schedules at the stations of railroads for
the benefit of all concerned. Unjust dis
ordinations, special rates. rebates and
preferences are prohibited, and in connec-
ton with this prohibition it is required
that proper and equal facilities shall be
afforded to all customers. and that no dis
elimination shall be made between con-
Meeting lines. These provisions were en-
braced in the Reagan bill. They are sot-
tened by the adoption, in addition to them.
of the provision of the Cullom bill, Great
ing a National Railroad Commission, con-
sisting of five members, not more than
one of whom shall be of the same politi-
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1886-12-15

cal party, with salaries fixed at $500 an
nually, to whom is given general super
vision over the operation of railroads at
fected by the law. This commission is
given ample powers for investigation.
The companies are required to make re-
ports to it. and to submit books and evil
dence when called upon to do so, and
the courts are. practically required to
enforce its orders on short notice by
mandamus, injunction, or writ of attach
ment. One of the chief objections made
to the Reagan bill was because of the fact
that it allowed no opportunity tor dis
elimination of rates because Of ''long and
short hauls' Railroad managers con-
tend, that there are often circumstances
that not only justify. but practically COM
pei the charging higher rates tor shorter
distance on the same line than for the
longer distance which includes the
shorter. This objection is obvlated by the
bill now agreed upon by prohibiting dis
examinations of this character. 'under
substantially the same circumstances and
conditions" and it is left with the com
mission to determine what circumstances
warrant change in the rule. Such
regulation OF commerce between States as
this bill aims to supply has been much
felt want, and this or some other measure
of similar intent will before long be
adopted by Congress. The indications
are that the bill mentioned will receive
strong support.

A Shameful Prostitution.

Upon the great question of restoring the
American Marine the President of the United
States has not word to saw in his lengthy
message just sent to Congress. But he has
executed an act that speak like thunder from
a clear sky, to the effect that he don't care a
continental curse tor any existence or sub
stantiality in the shape of shlp-if she is
American and bears her couutry's fl ~ aboard.
President Cleveland has perpptrated n shahle-
full prostitution of the only office at Washing
ton to whose has been committed the
oversight of American shipping and the pro-
per administration of the navigation laws.
Hon Jarvis Patten of Bath, a builder, owner
and master of ships, rs well qualified any
citizen can be TO discharge the duties of Com
mis- Toner OF Navigation, has been removed
TO make room tor political worker, one
Charles b. Morton of Augusta, Me-, whose
business appears to be that of an express and
newspaper clerk, as ignorant of ships and
navigation as of the difference between a
hawk and handssw.
A more morufying and humilating appoint
ment was never made. The Office of Ship
ping Commissioner was a new one created
expressly Tor the benefit of the shipping in-
terest. to be filled by an expert in the BUSH
ness of building, owning and running of
ships, and to be kept out of politics
Captain Patten selected solely with
reference to his fitness TO conduct this office
with credit to himself and usefulness to the
country. and his exertions have been success
full so far as he has gone in the short time of
less than two and a half years. Now he, who
is business man, a dill gent worker. and in
telligent student of shipping questions, is
turned out TO make room for man who has
never held any position of responsibility or
gained the confidence of a single community
a man who has Meth r trade nor profession.
but is utterly uneducated in amy art or
science, especially IN regard to ships on the
sea.
If this removal and appointment be the
Presidents message to Congress and the ma
ton on the state of the shipping Interest, then
he is the worst prosttutnr OF puoic trus, ever
elected to the great office which he cannot
further disgrace. If this prostitution of ii
teiligpnce to ignorance, OF taithfulness to per-
tidy, il what is TO pass with the present ad
ministration as conducting the government on
business principles-civil service reform
God save the Qaeen-then we may expect to
see the farmers of the country sent to sea and
the sailors put to digging potatoes Every
man in any wav connected with ships must
feel himself insulted and injured bv the re-
movsl of Patten and the appointment of
Morton. The Senate should be made too hot
for the confirmation of this political ignora-
mus and it will be. if justice is to be done to
the country and its interest in ships.-N Y.
