SUNDAYS SERVICES AT THE FIRST BAP
T1Sr CHURCH.

Rev. G.. E. Hewitt, d. D., of Peoria, Ill.
in correspondence with friends in this city
few weeks ago, signified his intention of
visiting Kansas during the spring on a
little recreating tour and to look after
some personal interests of a material ma
ture. and knowing that the pulpit of the
First Baptist church in Wichita would be
vacant last Sunday, a request was made of
him that he arrange his proposed trip so
as to visit Wichita at this time Accord
ingly he reached the city Saturday evening
and occupied the pulpit of the Firt Baptist
church Sunday, preaching morning and
evening. And Notwithstanding there was
no announcement in any of the papers, the
house was filed at both services The
announcement was inadvertently omitted
from the EAGLE, which it regrets
We shall not attempt even so much as
brief resume of either of the discourses of
of the learned divine. To fully appreciate
them it were necessary to hear them deliv-
cred from the sacred desk by the speaker
1t is enough to say that in their prepare
tion and delivery were displayed the learn
ing of the profound thinker and ripe
scholar, one familiar with the classics as
well as sacred history, and possessed of the
happy faculty of adaptibility of the theme
in hand TO present circumstances, and,
withal, the power of logical, forceful pre-
sentation.
DR.. Hewitt went 70 Wellington yester-
day and spent the day with friends in that
city, but will return to Wichita to-day. H
has consented. after pressing invitation, to
remain in the city for the remainder of the
week. and will again preach next Sunday
morning and evening at the First Baptist
church.

Railroad LegiSIGfiOn.

In moving that the railroads of this
country stop carrying freghts at rates
which do not pay expenses, MIR. Samuel
Sloan of New York takes an eminently
sensible position, but it is one which in
wolves many considerations. The popu-
lar delusion that when Il man is elected
10 congress he thereby becomes mys-
terfOusly endowed, as by grace
of God, with the gift of all wis
dom, was never more strlklngly
illustrated than in the case of mod
ern railroad legislation. The man who
found it worth his while to gather up the
absolutely idiotic bills which have passed
the national congress would find himself
with no mean collection, and in it the in
terstate commerce law would by no means
be the least lustrOus gem. Its absurdi
ties have been repeatedly pointed out,
its conditions are constantly eyaded, yet
it is doubtful if the men who enacted it
are able to judge it from any other stand
point than that of its efficiency in carry
ing out the selfish ends they had i'll view
in enacting it.
One important condition of national
legislation seems to be Il profound ignOr
ance of the subject to be legislated upon
want both of intelligence and information
which has distinguished the action of
congress i'll its railroad legislation from
the very beginning, and this particular
bill is a fitting climax for a series of
plumbers which have gone so far
that they cal scarcely be tolerated
much longer. The principle of
debating to experts the de-
tails of the management of their business
is on the face of it sufficiently absurd.
Men of the highest intelligence who have
given their whole lives to the study of
railroading as science found themselves
practically treated by congress as either
profoundly ignorant, profoundly vicious,
or both. 1t would have been sufficiently
irritating had this insult been admins
tered at the hands of men even tolerabIy
familiar with the business in which
they interfered; it was doubly so when
every line of the bill showed the most ut
ter want of comprehension Of the effect
of its provisions and the conditions under
which they must work. The history of
the measure from the moment of its en-
forcement has been a series of stupid and
needless complications, and, while its i'll
effects are obvious and manifold, it is
difficult TO point to a single good result
which the law has brought about.
The outcome of this is not far to seek.
The country cannot live without railroads,
while the railroad corporations are abun-
dainty able to take possession of the gov
eminent of the country should their in
ducement to do so become sufficiently
strong While these vast enterprises
have of course been conducted as a mat
ter of private interest, they have been of
enormous advantage to the country
at large, and il is at least fair to say that
their managers have been quite as disin-
terested as the average congressman. 1t
is time that public opinion stepped in to
stop mischievous legislation with regard
to railroads, but if it does not the cor
porations will inevitably take that Office
upon themselves Il Boston Courier. -
