adjourned without taking any action on the color

resolution looking to the formation OF a separate

would be settled. Colored members protested
against the separate convention and threatened to

BODY. There was but slight representation from
the cnurcheS or the nine parishes In Charleston
only two were represented at the convention. The
cnurcneS are not paying their dues and there was
a large defc1t In the bishops salary. The bishop
proposed that his salary be reduced to $780, but
the convention refused this and ordered an assess

The Troubles Brought by the Rail-

Frederick Taylor, in The Forum.
1.-The railroads have probably contributed more
than all other agencies combined to make the
United States what they are, yet no one will main
derived from their growth and development has
been, and Is wholly 'unmlXed OF evil Leaving
out other considerations, IL Is not unfair to say
that three-quarters OF all the legislative corrup
ton from which we have suffered curing the past
nifty years has been directly chargeable the rail-
ways; and that very large proportion, per-
haps nearly as much as hall, or the litigation
that has occupied the courts during the same
period has been directly connected with rail-
way matters. We couid well afford to forget and
forgive both the corruption and the litigation, II
smoothly working ike a vast machine for the gen.
eral welfare. But, unhappily, the machine does
not WORK smoothly; on the contrary, It Is sadly
out OF joint somewhere ali the time. often out OF
joint In dozen different places, and In as many
different ways, at the same time; and the ma
chine is so vast and complex. II so completely
ers the whole country, and Is so directly and so In
timately connected with all our financial and
business interests, that there Is never time when
some OF these interests not in state OF uncer-
talnty or disquet, not infreQuently in state OF
anxiety, and sometimes OF collapse, by reason OF
trouble, financial or otherwise, among the rail-
roads.
''This state Of things is shameful, but it can
never De altered as long as the affairs OF the rail-
ways are subject to the cumbr0us machinery Of
forty different sets OF laws; but with the railways
under national control, why should not their MI
norty shareholders enjoy the same protection that
the Government now accordS to all the holders OF
stock In the national banks? With q railway CON-
mission at the seat OF Government, why should not
railway Shareholders when wrOnged be spared the
expense OF counsel and the interminable delay OF
itigat On. and have the right OF direct appeal to
the TRIBUNAL? And upon such appeal and state
ment OF the wrong suffered, why should not the
commission, through its examiners Immediately
investigate the matter, and either compel fair
play for all the shareholders, or put receiver In
charge OF the property?"
