Not Worth While.


'If you have few moments to spare" said

piled the man sitting at the desk. "Will you

heading Of 'Squallop, the Played Out Dema-

Certainly, sir. 1t says: The most graft
flying result of the election last Tuesday is
that it retires forever from the public gaze that
pestiferous and blatant hunbug, Jeremiah

the community that has tolerated him so
long. Farewell, Squallop! II you were not
60 ptifully Insignificant, Squallop, We should
rejoice for months to come because Of your
defeat; but in less than two days you will
have been forgotten, and decent people will
walk over your political grave without re-
membering that there ever was a thing in the
shape of man bearing the miserable name
of Squallop.'"
Yes, said the man at the desk, looking I'D
with All air of relief. 81 wasn't mistaken.
That's the way read it. 1t won't be worth

The New York Sun publishes interviews
with large number of bankers and capital
lists in all parts of the country relative to
result is not at all fattering to the manage
ment or the men who are responsible for it.
Perhaps the criticism most generally made
is that the railroad managers treat the prop
erty as IL 1t were their own, instead Of being
the property Of others committed to them
simply in the capacity of trustees. The in
terests of the stockholders are lost sight Of
or deliberately ignored, and for them are
substituted the personal interests Of the
president and directors. The remedies sug-
gested are various, bnt one as easily applied
as any, and which promises as good results
is that suggested by the President OF the
First National Bank Of Denver, who says,
"The fact is that. railroadilabuses and losses
to investors are largely due to the failure Of
security holders to exert their rights, and are
still more largely due to the failure OF lead
ing officials to perform their duties and to
exact obedient and faithful services from
their subordinates. Reform In railroad man
agement can only be secured by the more
faithful and efficient discharge by all.respon-
sible parties Of the duties confded to them
Investors can hold the leading officials to
stricter account, and these officials will then
in turn exact greater fidelity from their sub
ordinates. There will be no change In the
present management of affairs until some Of
the many stockholders discontinue sending
proxies to the annual meetings and lessen
the authority of the governing officials" In
nutshell, railroad managers, before any
thing better can be expected Of them, must
be taught that they are servants, not mas
tiers. The most of them at present appar-
emily believe that the latter capacity is their
real and true one. esa
