The Last Remedy.

1t is suggested that as all other methods %
settling the rate troubles and self-induced com
plications between the leading railroads Of the
country have failed, the only antidote re-
naming is to ask the courts to compel railroads
to maintain such rates as will pay operating
charges, interest on bonded debt, aud something
on the stock, no matter how little. An exchange
says: This is the principle which the courts
have established to govern To- Iowa Railway
Commissioner in fixing railroad tariffs, and if
1t can be made operative 10 the one case, why
not in the otherl IL the commissioners owe the
railroads q duty, the managers of the railroads
are certainly under obligations to their share
holders. Perhaps there is more sense than nom
sense in this suggestion. The greatest problem
to-day is how TO save the railroads from them
selves. The fight which they are waeing 10 the
greatest present obstacle TO the realization of
optimistic dreams in the speculative world.
Perhaps the actual handling of n great crop will
bring order out Of chaos. If that or something
else does not accomplish that end, the grand OPP
portunity of the railroads TO replenish their
treasures will be frittered away

The large deficit shown In Decline earnings for
July excitss considerable comment. Those who
are posted regarding the business of July are
not troubled to understand where the big leak
was. Livestock traffic Is one of the best feat
ures of the traffic Of the Bee-line. and during
that month rates eastward were SO low that they
hardly paid for handling the stock at resting
points, to say nothing about carrying it from st.
Louis and points this side to Buffalo. n. Y. Il
is stated that this deficit is mainly due to the
low rates made on both live stock and dressed
meats.
