CONSISTENCY DISCOUNT.

The renewal of litigation over the attempt
of the Junction Railroad to get its tracks
past the Allegheny Valley yards at Forty
third street reveals another example of. the
superiority of the corporate policy to any
such consideration as consistency. The first
suit of the Junction to condemn right of
way through these yards for track on the
surface was resisted by the Allegheny VAL
ley Railroad with the, plea, among others,
that the Junction could get past by an ele-
waited track, without occupying the surface.
This plea was largely influential in defeat
ing the first suit of the Junction.
Having accepted that defeat the Junction
now seeks to cross the yards by an elevated
track and meets with exactly the same op-
position as before. This confirms what was
already generally understood, that the real
opposition of the interests that control the
Allegheny Valley Railroad is not based on
the injury that will be done to property that
was left unused before the Junction wished
to cross it, but on the advantages to the
manufacturers to whom the Junction will
bring railroad competition. Another point
is somewhat strongly illuminated by this
action. The Junction will not compete at
all with the business of the Allegheny Val
ley road proper; but it will enable competi.
tion to be brought to bear on the business
that goes off the Allegheny Valley Railroad
to the Pennsylvania Railroad lines.
Yet it was sworn in another recent rail-
road suit that the Allegheny Valley Rail-
road is not operated for the benefit of the
road

THE BARoKs NEW LIGHT.

Light is thrown upon a frequently re-
peated claim of the railway school, by an
interview with Baron Erlanger, who is visit
ing in the South for the purpose of inspect
ing the railways in which his wealth is
largely invested. He says: "Over here the
operating expenses eat up seventy per cent
of the revenues, while in Europe they are
only fifty per cent; yet freight rates here are
much higher" The Baron's view is very
plainly to the effect that the operating eI-
penses ought to be reduced, from which no
stockholder will dissent. But for some
years past the representatives of the railway
school have been telling us very strenu-
ously that freight rates in this country are
lower than they are in Europe. The pos
tive statement to the contrary by so well
informed an authority as Baron Erlanger,
will rather destroy the force of the Ameri-
can railway argument, that everything here
is all right. The Baron, from his stand
point, wants operating expenses reduced;
and the people, from theirs, would be glad
to see railway rates reduced wherever they
are too high. Perhaps the people and the
Baron can compromise on having both

vive the scheme, that Armour, of Chicago,
finding the original managers of the scheme
determined to carry it forward, bought up q
controlling interest in the Cottonseed Oil
Trust, and thereupon informed Messrs.
Flagler and Moss that they must either get
out of the Cottonseed Oil Trust or abandon
their meat project. These gentlemen chose
the latter alternative, and so the new Ameri-
can Meat Company was. temporarily reduced
to soup meat.
This apparently undisputed statement of
facts reveals not only the trust policy, but
an absolute weakness of The trust position.
1t seems that the great trust proprietors
must not only defend their monopolies from
all competition in any quarter of the coun-
try, but that they are peculiarly weak and
open to attack from other trust monopolles.
Flagler and Moss threatened the monopoly
of Armour in the meat trade and so Armour
by an excursion into the cottonseed oil
business was able to reduce them to disci-
pline. There is nothing of this sort in le-
gitimate business. Jones & Laughlins do
not find it necessary to attack any man who
proposes to start rolling mill in another
section of the country; and the man who
started rolling mill contrary to the wishes
Of some of the great proprietors at present,
would laugh at the threat that if he keeps
ON in his pernicious course, they will buy
up and destroy some other interest of his.
1t is very gratifying to learn that this
scheme of Armour's to suppress competition
in the meat trade, is to be defeated. But
the public can hardly help having a warm
feeling for Armour, on learning that he is
the one man In this country who is able to
bulldoze the Standard Oil magnates.

A PR0KEN RETD

By this time it is pretty certain that Mr..
Whitelaw Reid is regretting that he at
tended 50 many banquets before starting on
an ocean voyage. The last one, which the
Tribune staff rendered him, must have put
q nice finishing touch upon his digestive
system. Possibly a lot OF Mugwump fishes
will rejoice that the Minister to France laid
in such store for their entertainment But
be will not rejoice, and we fear that his i'm
maculate collar and new nankeen trousers
will suffer in the melee with remorseless
Neptune.
1t is not hard to imagine the ex-editor sit
ting in his berth, pale and perturbed. The
hand that could have taken pen and as
with tomahawk snatched fresh scalp is
neryeless and inert. The voice that could
have told the city editor to interview hun
dred proud citizens to death is weak and
trsmulous. 1t plays upon but one string
a mournful cry, Stewart" The eye that
could have made the biggest man in the
Tribune Office quail is lusterless and plane
tary. 1t isa great thing to be an editor. It
is great thing to be United States Minister
to France. But the greatest man on earth
feels mighty small when he is seasick. We
extend our coincidence to Mr. Whitelsw
Reid.

Bijou Theater.

There's any amount of life still left in the
old dramatic dog. "Davy Crockett" and Frank
Mayo makes it vastly interesting still. Mr..
Mayo is none the worse for wear; he remains
an actor of intense power, of quiet and grave
humor, and the character of DdUy Crockett
naturally fits him as snugly as the bark does
tree or a dog. Perhaps some day it will be
necessary to re-tell the story, quaint and power
full, of "Davy Crockett" 1t is badly time yet
for the theatergoer to have forgotten the
drama or Frank Mayo's conception Of the hero.
As usual the wolves are very strong and noisy
assistants of Mr.. Mayo, and the climax of act
II. made great impression, while at the close
of the third act Mr.. Mayo and Miss Burriss
were called before the curtain amid great ap-
plause. Miss Burriss plays Eleanor Vaughn
with delicacy and strength that are rarely
found together in such comparative novice,
as we are assured she is. Graceful and slender,
with face that re-enforces by its sweet ex-
pressions singularly melodious tones of her
voice, Miss Burriss has an excellent foundation
upon which she lays unhagging energy in her
work. She possesses decided dramatic talent
and will do TAR better things some day.
The company includes Mr.. Henry Aveling
and other actors Of well-known ability. Mr..
Mayo always has competent company, by the
way. "Davy Crockett 10 well worth seeing

indignation burst upon the town. And to-day
it may be said that Portsmouth citizens,

People here see no reason for taking the
noble old frigate away. She Is indissolu-
bly, connected with this town. the people are
attached to her, and Pcrtsmouth's proud naval
record is in itself reason why "Old lronsides'
should stay here. The idea of making her
an attraction. for the curiosity hunters who
flock TO the National capital is extremely dis
tasteful.
There is no doubt that great pressure will be
brought to bear upon the administration to
save the old ship to the Granite State. From
Washington 1t is learned that Secretary Tracy
proposes to use.her there as receiving ship
providing the expense of removing her Is not
too great. He argues that the Constitution is
not earning her oats here, and must be utilized
in some fashion besides catering to the patriotic
sentiment of the people who live on the banks
of the Piscataqua. 1t is more than probable
that "Old Ironsides" will have to 60.

Commissioner Mel Donald Outlines His Plans
for the Summer.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-To an Associated
Press representative, to-day, Colonel McDon-
aid, the Fish Commissioner, set forth in detail
the plans proposed by him for the summer. At
the request of the Ohio Fish Commission, the
U nited States Commission this spring added to
its regular programme the distribution of pike
perch, commonly called pickerel, eggs and fry
collected and hatched at Sandusky. About
10000, 900 eggs were secured. and these are now
being planted in the waters of Illinois, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania. The trip of the
distributing car to Illinois is reported to have
been one of the most successful ever made.
The distribution of shad eggs and fry is be-
ing conducted from several hatcheries in the
East A car will leave Washington tomorrow
on its second trip to the South, with 1000 900
eggs, going direct to Montgomery, Ala, whence
the distribution to local streams will be made
On the first trip only 3O0000 of the 1000, 900
eggs on board, or less than 10 per cent, were
lost. There are now being taken at the Fort
tomac river, about %, 900 900 shad. During the
summer the cars will be engaged in the cOllec-
tion and planting of indigenous fishes in the
Mississippi Valley, in the States of Nebraska,
Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana Missouri and
Michigan.
The several steamers attached to the COM
mission have their summers work laid out for
them, and it is of great importance. The
Albatross will leave San Francisco about June
/. going as far as the Privilow Islands in the
Behring Sea, where study win be made of
the seal fisheries, in accordance with reso-
luton of Congress, adopted last session, as well
as of the general fisheries along the southern
Alaska peninsula. On the way up the Albat-
ross will leave a party of Investigators in
Alaska who will examine into the salmon fish
cries there, under the terms of another Con-
gressional resolution. The new hatcheries are
to be located at Pnt-in-bay Island, Lake Erie,
world, having a capacity of 500, 900 900 eggs q
year: at Evergreen Lake, Colorado, and Bairds-
point, California. Plans for these improve
to have them erected and ready to beginwork
in the fall when the white fish season begins.

THE uNFAILING GAS SUPPLY.

The Philadelphia Gas COmpany's annual
statement, yesterday submitted, will prove
of great interest TO the stockholders, though
the magnitude of the concern involves a
complication of accounts and figures which
may not enable'the general public to grasp
the bearing OF its exhibit in detail. What
does greatly interest everybody, and what
SHOULD particularly impress outsiders, is
that this vast system of service is now sup
plying more gas than ever. Though the
demands of consumers have grown, the sup
ply has more than kept pace with them.
Where now be the prophets who, as early

recent enormous rate of expansion.
