Roberts Writes.


President Roberts, ofthe Pennsylvania
Eljlruad, tells the representatives of the
Ailadelphia trade organizations who
lnned him whether the Pennsylvania
11Rood company was pressing the pas
- ofthe bill forbidding grade crossings
ohsir city, and wherefore II was so do
~, ,thAt lt b fact that the railroad COM
Iany b supporting the bill that It Is 30
'1c1ng because an grade. Crossings are
wills; and that those who make
'the inquiry Of him do not under
stand what the bill which they
condemn provides. He let's them
know that It is fathered by his company |;
and that It Is proud Of It and thinks II
wholly good.
Mr.. Roberts did not write this letter,
though he signs 1t. He would hardly
have been no impertinent and false in
his statements. We have been wont to
look upon Mr.. Roberts as inclined to
4 honesty, far more than his associates
In the Pennsylvania railroad di-
I section, which Is inclined otherwise
by his wicked partners, who control its
political work far more than he does.
II Il discreditable to him, however that
! he should have permitted himselfto sign
4 this letter while pretending that this
y bill which his company has caused 10
& be introduced. controls his rSilrasd -
\ much as any other railraad. and is in
= spired only by the honest desire Of his
company to abolish grade crossings. To
prove that the bill is a fair one, Mr..
Roberts points out that ii empowers the
court to authorize grade crossings where
ever necessity exists for them, and he
! thinks that this amply meets the charge
/ that the Pennsylvania railroad desires To
hamstring competing railroad projects
In Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
He forgets to mention, however, that
+ this provision Is an amendment made
but two weeks ago 10 the bill his com.
\ pany framed and that It was adopted
against its opposition. No one will sup.
pose for moment that the Pennsylva.
mia Railroad company presses this
bill without selfish motive, as Mr..
Roberts unblushingly pretends that 1t
& does, and he simply discrcdits his re.
X spectability in making the incredible
claim. The bill is one to perpetuate the
Pennsylvania railroad in the monopoly
of the use Of steam upon the streets of
Philadelphia and Pittsburg and as
such must be condemned.

THE incident of our Canadian troubles
known as the Bridgewater business, has
just furnished additional details that should
force Mr.. Blaine to indicate whether he IL
to twist the tail Of the British lion, as
promised before the election. CAPTAIN J.
ii. Allen, of the American ship Bridge
water, has been in Ottawa talking very
bluntly about the seizure of his vessel, and
finding that he made little impression he
told a story of insult TO his flag. lie stated
that amer the Bridgewater was seized the
crew ran up the stars and stripes on the
4th ofJuly. The Canadian officials ordered
the flag hauled down, and none of the crew
being willing to obey, they hauled it down
against his protests. lie says he did not
press the matter before, fearing 1t might
cause delay in the settlement; he now ht q
no alternative but to lay the insult to the
American flag before his government.
Everybody remembers how fiercely
Secretary Bayard was denounced for not
resenting this sort of thing with more war
like yigor. The country was given to
understand that had Blaine been In power
Admiral Luce and his poor little wooden
North Atlantic squadron would have sailed
northward to demand with shotted cannon
and flags nailed to the mast that Canada
and England should apologize or sink
his fleet. As British ships of war
were near by that would have been the
alternative, and the merciful Britons might
have apologized from sheer pity.
Mr.. Blaine now has some modern shIps
built by Mr. Whitney, and also an oppor-
tunity Of tho sort he seemed To envy Mr..
Bayard. The tail twisting should soon
begin, but the lion is not at all restless and
no one expects trouble, for we all know
Blaine to be man of sounding words and
few deeds
