Rni,road Rates aud Manarsment.

The weekly financial circular of Henry
Clews s. Co. of December % says: 1t
is encouraging TO notice that railroad
managers ut last exhibit great sincerity
in their desire 10 maintain rates upon a
fair basis; though il is equally pitiful TO
look back and see the extent to which
stockholders property has actually suf-
fered from recent reckleSSneSs and mis-
management. Several very important
conferences have been held in this city
during the last few days, at which it was
agreed by nearly all the important west
ern roads to advance rates on January l
also that the presidents of the various
lines should personally attend to the
making of rates instead of leaving q de-
tail of such importance entirely in the
hands of irresponsible agents. The lat
ter movement is really an encouraging
departure; but, like many other prom
ised reforms, the results depend entirely
upon the faithfulness and honor with
which an understanding is carried out;
and as these very characteristics have
been singuIarly lacking in railroad man
agement for months and years past, it
remains to be seen how long this sudden
exhibition of virtue will last.
A still more important movement con-
nected with the above is the determine
ton of stockholders to have their inter-
ests felt in the management through rep
resentation by several leading banking
houses in this city. The houses connected
with this movement, it is understood, al
ready represent very large amounts of
stock, besides having important foreign
connections; so that it may be easily
within their power to dispose of any reck-
less managers, ard afford investors the
protection of their interests which they
are justly entitled to. The moral effect
of such an organization as this does not
need enlarging upon: it is probably the
most powerful and the most legitimate
yet devised, for stockholders have an I'M
deniable right TO dictate the policy under
which their property shall be managed;
and it may be very properly questioned if
it is not their lassitude in this respect that
has permitted many of the abuses and
the low moral tone which have too often
characterized American railroad manage
mept.
If this plan does not succeed in secur-
ing reasonable uniformity and profitable

ness in rates, we can see no other present
alternative than placing the rate-mak-
ing power in the hands of the Interstate
commission. As people we have al
ready committed ourselves to govern
mental regulation of railroads in respect
to rates; and it only requires step fur
ther to grant the commission power to fix
rates as well as to limit them. Undoubt-
eddy there are many grave objections to
such policy, particularly those of po-
Htical character; but the drift of railroad
affairs is Enthusiastically in such direc-
ton, and it finds encouragement in the
fact that both shippers and stockholders
would thus have the benefit of uniform
and reasonable rates. Nothing can save
us from an aEgravation of this tendency
except i'll broad and honest principles III
railroad management. The rail-
load systems of the United
States are now becoming so vast
and far-reaching in their connections,
that their operations become of national
rather than local concern, and it yearly
grows more essential that those chosen
as the heads of these gigantic corpora
tons should not only be men of the very
highest order of executive ability, but
also men of unQuestionable integrity; men
capable of looking upon the great rail-
road questions of the day with the dis
cernment and judgment of statesmen;
men capable of taking broad views
and regarding the country as whole,
putting aside petty local jealousies; and,
above all, men imbibed with high sense
of the duties owed the public, as well as
the proper rights of stockholders. Only
through such men and by acting in such
spirit can the great railroad problems
of the United States be successfully and
lastinglY solved

THE LIEF erickson.
The Burning of the Vessel Was Accidental-The
Coroner's Verdict.

SEATTLE, W. t., Dec. q The coro-
ner's jury to-day made an investigation
into the death of j. R. Bronson, one of
the passengers of the Lief Erickson, and
into the cause of the disaster to the yes
sci. Eight persons were examined.
None of them had any fault TO find with
the conduct of the officers or crew 1t
appeared, however, that the Erick-
sen was carrying at the time of the disas-
ter double the number of passengers
allowed by the law. The jury returned a
verdict that Bronson came to his death
by drowning caused by the burning of
the steamer. They also found that the
burning of the steamer was accidental.
They also recommended that local in
spectors of steamers rigidly enforce the
law in regard TO the number of passengers
steamers are licensed TO carry. 1t is
definitely ascertained that six persons
were drowned.

4 NelC Deal,

The St. Louis daiIies have consumed
several columns of their space this week
with words and cuts relating to the st.
Louis merchants bridge. Very little in
formation has been afforded the public.
The Railway Register is in position to
shed some light upon the problem of St.
Louis railway terminals. We are in
formed by their St. Louis counsel that a
party of Cincinnati capitalists is perfect
ing its plans for furnishing this city with
adequate facilities which viii render
the building of the merchants
bridge not only unnecessary but
losing undertaking. This syn
dictate includes ten of the weaithiest men
in Cincinnati, and E. w. Woodward, the
veteran railroader, is at the head of the
party. This week these gentlemen have
been at Eureka Springs, the guests of the
Frisco line, and their time has been con-
sumed in completing their arrangements
for immediate and rapid action. The
scheme involves the distancing of all
other interests, and the control of all
railway terminals in this city. There is
abundant money and brain power behind
the project. The work of the new ter
minal company viii begin with the new
year st. Louis Railway Register.

THE GAZETTE man called on Clerk Law
renee, of the land department amp form
erly secretary of the land board, to as
certain the amount of school land sales
affected by the recent decision of the SUI
preme court i'll the McCarty case. Mr..
Lawrence said the land board had sold
from first to last, 3 900 900 acres, chiefly
in the Panhandle. He said about two
thirds of these sales are affected by the
decision, or some 2 900 900 acres. Mr..
Lawrence said the legislature would have
to cure the titles at present held
under these sales. He defended
the old land board saying it had prevent
ed syndicateS ana land sharks and specu-
lators from grabbing vast blocks of land
in the west. He mentioned an instance
where one Austin firm had 500 sets of
papers made out, ready ut one time to
scoop up that many sections in the Pan
handle, but were not permitted. The
land board, he said, sold no watered sec
tiOns. Mr.. Lawrence says there is good
deal of perjury in this land business out
west.

4 BIG STREET CIR SYNDICATE.

Ne,V VoTI; Capitalists Buying Up Western
Surface Roads.
A syndicate of capitalists has been or
ganized in this city for the purchase and
management in St. Louis and other cities
of the west of the local street railroads
A capital of 81 900 200 has b paid in -,
but the names of the members OIL the COM
bination have not yet been announced
Some weeks ago Mr.. Hugh j Campbell 3,
one of the largest bankers in st. Louis
and large owner in the street railway
lines in that city, communicated with Mr. e.
l. B. Newcombe of this city, and the or
ganization was the outcome. There is
only one cable line i'll st. Louis, and that
runs to what is known as the ''Fair
Grounds. - The gentlemen III interest
concluded that it would be good thing
for all concerned if the People s Line and
the Union Depot Line of street cars could
be brought under one management E.
Those lines cover the most thickly pOpu-
lated districts i'll the city, and are
valuable property. They run south as
far as Carondelet, and west as lar as
Shaw S garden, and another line running
north on Fourth street takes in thesupper
part of the town.
reporter of the Star called on Mr.
NewcOmbe yesterday, and that gentle
man said: eve have bought out two
lines, and we propose to extend the sub
urban traffic of the town by means of
cable cars. The money has all been paid
i'll, so that we are in a position to do it.
Then there is the electric motor. AS 81
matter of fact, we have made certain
contracts which embrace electricity e.
Probably the great trial of electricity as
motor may, after all, be made in St.
Louis. The scheme, of which 1 am
only one of the representatives, is one
about which at this time little can be
said. The operations of the syndicate
may extend beyond ST. Louis, but upon
that point am not at liberty to speak
The same syndicate bought up the Kan
saS City street railways year or so ago
Mr. Corrigan, until that time, owned
personally every street car line in that
place. Then we stepped in, and there
are now, instead of cars run by single
horses, vehicles drawn up the steep hills
of that hilly town by two horses or by
cable.
When Mr.. NewcOmbe was asked
whether his syndicate had any connection
with that of the Widener-Elkins concern
of Philadelphia, he denied it, remarking
that the latter was purely a cable con-
Germ, and that Mr.. Yerkes represented
its interests in the west where, both
on the North and West Sides of Chicago,
cable roads had been introduced Il New

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 27.-The applica-
ton in ehalf of the Anarchists Arbeiter
bund for an injunction restraining the po-
lice authorities of the city from interfer-
ing with or preventing their meeting was
argued before Master-in- Chancery
Windes to-day. On behalf of the bund
it was commended that it was peaceful
organization, whose sole act
was the amelioration of the
condition of the human race, and that
the action of the police in forbidding
them to meet and closing all public halls
against them was in open violation of
their constitutional rights as citizens OF
the republic. On behalf of the city it
was argued that the bund as body was
made up of men who were opposed to the
operation of all laws and the propagation
of whose theories tended to public disor-
der and to the rendering of life and prop
erty insecure. The hearing was not I'm
ished when court took recess.
