THE INCREASE OF STOCK.

The petition of the Consolidated road for power to increase its capital stock has taken shape in a bill definitely de- fining the purpose and nature of the in crease. This bill strikes the Hartford Post as being one in which there is much to commend and little to criticise. "In examining the proposed measure, says the Post, ''one should have constantly in mind two things first, the iegisla- ture should do nothing to fetter itself at the hands of any even the best of our corporations. Second, the legislature ought to encourage in every fair way the development of this great enterprise in which so many thousands of our citizens have a direct interest and which in many respects is an honor to our state. tis the largest taxpayer which the state has. It carries passengers and freight in as good cars, at as high a rate of speed, with as great safety and at as low rates of speed as does any road in the country. Its officers are men of high character and proven ability, and the inside lines of one kind and another which are tol- erated if not positively created in some directories to the pecuniary profit of the directors and at the pecuniary loss Of the shareholders have never, so far as is known or suspected, been found in the management of the company. Its stock holders are not speculators but are in vestors, and its earnings have been ,,oi1 n thpn, nvonnfinCr far as they have been expended in i'm provements for their benefit and for the better accommodation of the public and the patrons of the road" With few limitations which it suggests the Post says ''the bill should have no opposition, but should be re- garded as a thoroughly beneficial one to all parties concerned"
 The Post discusses the proposed in- crease of stock and the bill providing therefor in a fair, conservative and inn partial spirit, and it's conclusions will be accepted as just. In so far as may be judged from the provisions of the bill, the interests of the shareholders seem to be properly safeguarded, while the in terests of the state seem likewise to be hedged around by proper restrictinos. A road that is so large an element in the prosperity of our commonwealth, that pays so large portion of our taxes anc that is so inseparably bound up in the welfare of vast number of our citizens should certainly not be hampered, by any pennywise policy founded on indefianbl' fears, in its projects of improvement which the travelling public will share tt so large an extent. The objections that have been made to the proposed in crease of stock have been based yer. largely on grounds that have been swep away by the voluntary action of th' company itself, and it would seem there fore that the legistaurel would see it way clear to the ratification of the com pany's purpose. The state would bene fit from the increased taxes that would accrue to it, the travelling public would reap the advantage of increased facilitie for their comfort, and the shareholder of the road and of its leased lines woul' get their reward in the increased valu
 of their holdings.

THE assurance of high tax organ that 'sthe structural steel trust is still alive is incomplete. It should have added that its structural strength is in the structure reared about trusts by the re- publican party. Trusts are safe in sucking the blood of the people while the republican party holds the reins of government.

Senator BEiggtns Said 20 be I'm
Earncst i'm hhis Fight for DIR.
Baws0B.
Some OF the Maryland candidates for
the office OF internal revenue collector
says the Washington correspondent in
yesterday's Baltimore Be,d'd, have the i'm
preston and assert the opinion that Sena-
tor Higgins Ia not seriously contendinR
for the appointment of DR.. Dawson, but
is inclined to recognize the right Of Mary
land to the office.
1t is apparent that the Marylanders
who hold this view underestimate the
Delaware senator's interest in his con-
stituents. He is evidently making the
best Gght in his power for Dawson. Late
Monday afternoon, after other visitors
had dropped away, Senator Higgins
called upon Secretary Window 10 plead
the cause and claims OF DR.. Dawson, aud
yesterday he was endeavorjpg to con-
Vince the President that Delaware was
entitled to the office, He took DR.. Oaw-
son to the White House to see the Presi-
dent. After leaving the White House
Senator Higgins, with his candidate,
again called upon Secretary Window.
Maryland ought TO get the appointment
and may do so, but the applicants must
not assume that Della ware Is out OF the
race. Senator Higgins means to capture
that patronage If he can.

simultaneously smoke and a .mes were

were Mrs. Mendinhall and coiored

avsk,ned with great difficulty. Mean

all set TO work txtinRuishing

condition of the rooms, where clothing

No reason for the burglars setting fire
to the premises in the apparently Gallon

most inhuman destsrdly work ever at

the returning party it il only too horrible
