Shutting out one combination of capital in order to give the whole advantage to another is neither just nor reasonable, and a Connecticut legislature should not allow itself to make such arbitrary dis crimination.
 The Housatonic should be given the privilege it seeks of being accorded the same right that other roads have under the general railroad law of building branches thirty miles in length, and it should be allowed to increase it's stock by four millions as it desires. There is nothing unreasonable in the road's re- quest-it is only the sharp antagonism of those whose interests lie in their re- fusal that gives force to the opposition Let justice be done by the legislature and justice demands that the Housatonic receive fair treatment, equal privileges with other roads and the right to put itself in the position of competing for any business that is in the market Its petition asks for no more-less cannot in justice and honor be denied.

THE creation of the agricultural de- partment recalls the fact that it is almost forty years since new cabinet portfolio has been created. It was in March, 1S49, that the interior depart ment was established, and this was the last addition to the list of executive de- partments until now. One hundred years ago the state, treasury, war, post office and attorney generals office were created by act of congress, and these five cabinet positions were filled that year by President Washington. The navy de- partment did not begin until 1796. For fifty-two years thereafter these six de- partments had charge of the executive business of the government. It is claimed by some that this special recog- milton of the interests of agriculture ought and is likely to lead to similar recognition of other separate industries. There seems to be as much reason for one as for the other.
