ASSOCIATION is yielding fruit. The state
board met at Dallas and dissolved.
The local board met yesterday in Mr..
Sauer's office and dissolved. The ma

the wholesome regulations which eX-

withdraw from the state, and those
which do not will grab for all that is
left. This action of the board, neces-
STATED by unfriendly legislation, will
unsettle rates and put individuals at
the mercy of the situation, whatever
it may be.

The interest in the elections to be held to-
morrow, as compared with those of the years
when vast national issues are at stake or when
state and municipal offices of great importance
are to be generally disposed of, may be
measured pretty well by the registration
which has taken place in several of the
larger cities. In Baltimore the warmth
OF the fight is shown by the fact
that the registry is larger this year than
last ~ l,252 names. That is the one exception.
however, TO the rule Of decline. In New York
city the list is 67,733, or a out one ourth,
lower; and IN Brooklyn 2l.S42, or about one
seventh. Chicago shows fail of 1885, or a
round seventh. The lea ing Ohio tiles differ
widely. Cincinnati loses. with 1856, a scan,
eighteenth, while in Cleveland. where the local
qaarreis are not carried TO 30 ex-
treme length, the decline is 7.s23,
or between fifth and a sixth. Boston, prob
ably owing to her annual elections, makes the
next best report to Cincinnati. Her falling-off
Is only 4.l96, or little less than one-seven-
teenth. The indifference shown by the average
voter as to what he does with his ballot indi-
Gates either that he considers himself on the
whole, very well governed, or that he is too
deeply engrossed IN other business to bother
with the subject. 1t is on its surface a very
pleasant and assuring sign; but at bottom it is
not wholesome. Every good citizen ought to
regard vote as duty rather than privi-
lege, and not, by his apathetic bearing, fur
nish the bad element in either party With the
opportunity It so earnestly seeks to be left in
full control Of the machinery of government.

viii attract general attention from the fact tina,
it enters with some minuteness into subjects
which show the real value to the country of
such department. conducted with skill at the
executive end of the line and liberality at the
congressional end. 1t is ridiculous to claim
that the usefulness Of piece of governmental
machinery like this one ends with the
collection Of statistics and few gen.
erai advisory functions. The Secretary pro-
poses to raise his department from that level.
He wants a national meat inspection law, for
example, which shall enable public officers to
locate the centre OF any disease which breaks
out among American cattle, and prevent the
scandal OF shipments Of live and dead mea,
unht for consumption. Another excellen,
recommendation is that the forestry interests
OF the government be given more intelligent
attention. AS they are now, there is absolutely
no way In which timber thefts and forest fires
Can be prevented; and the loss to the govern
mens rom these sources, as shown By Chief
Fernows hSares on repeated occasions. is
greater every year than the cost OF a fair
supervision would be.

The business interests of the city are suffer
ing 10 an unusual degree from delayed freights
The STAR publishes today addition to pre-
vious batch of vigorous complaints on the sub
ject Undoubtedly there are in some special
cases special explanations of delay. It is evil
dent, too, that the preference given to passen-
ger traffic during the conclave has resulted in the
shunting on obscure sidings of great numbers
Of freight cars, and that the companies have lost
track of the whereabouts of the missing cars
When the railroads get all their rolling stock
into active operation the evil of the present
annoyance and damage will probably be re-
leved to some extent. For permanent relief
the increase and development of the local
freighting facilities must be made TO keep pace
with the growth of the local trade. The sug-
gestion that the Baltimore and Potomac road
purposely obstructs Washington freights In
order to cocrce the business men of the city
into a support of its Illegal occupation of the
public streets as a freight yard, and the sug-
gestion tnat the action of those citizens
who endeayor to hold the corporation to obedi-
ence to the law so harnesses it that it is unable
to furnish adequate freight facilities. both bear
eviden,e to the same coalition of facts. though
thev inspect the matter from different points
of view. The terminal facilities of both of the
local railroads are. is admitted, inadequate
and in so ne respects discredtable. These cor
porat ons, especia ly the Baltimore and Poto-
mac, have saved the large expense incurred in
other cities to purchase station sites and right
of way, and to lower or raise tracks be-
low or above grade in the interest
public salty, and have not only
made free use of the public property where
they have been authorized to do SO, but have
EXTENDED their occupation and use beyond
these limits. II efforts to make the railroads
obey the laws which have been enacted to
protect the life and property of citizens result
in depriving the roads and some citizens Of
freight facilities Illegally enjoyed, censure must
fall not upon the law, or upon those who desire
to see the law obeyed, but upon the rail-
roads. 1t is much to be desired that
Congress at its next session may take definite
action upon the whole local railroad problem.
The roads and citizens need better freight facil-
titles, to be secured by the purchase of private
property by the railroads at points to be ap-
proved by Congress. Washington needs also
a notable diminution of the surface tracks, a
Cessation Of railroad encroachmeut upon public
streets and reservations, ana a settlement of
the question of railroad routes and station
sites in the city. All these matters should be
settled together. The railroads have already
received privileges from the government worth
millions Of dollars. Every future concession
to them should lie coupled with concession of
equal importance to the people of the city in
the correction Of some recognized evil of the
present railroad occupation.
