Railroad LEGISLATION.

Senator Haines's bill, now before the lep-
islature, to supervise the railroads is receiy-
ing good deal of support and quite as much
opposition. As generally happens when
such bills are under discussion both sides
are somewhat vehement, one claiming that
1t is perfectly proper for the State to practi-
caliy take the railroads out of the hands of
their owners and dictate the terms on which
they shall be run, while the other is equally
pronounced in the opinion that the State
should let them alone and permit the stock
holders to manage them as they see fit, The
correct position is somewhere between the
two. The idea, which is frequently ex-
pressed, that because the railroad is char.
tered by the State and is granted valuable
privileges by the State that therefore the
State may practically confscate it if it
deems 1T wise is entirely erroneous. Doubt
less the State has the power to impose limi-
tations on railroads. But it has not the
power to put limitations on them which are
tantamount to their destruction. II has
power 70 limit their rates, but it has not the
power to limit them to such an extent as to
destroy their value to the stockholders.
The stockholders have vested rights which
the otabe is pound TO respect, which it must
respect This fact should be borne in mind
all through the discussion of the bill now
before the legislature. If the Maine rail
roads have been guilty of discrimin-
alton in favor of certain indiyid-
uals or corporations such discrimina-
ton should be put stop to. II the Maine
railroads are charging exorbitant rates they
should be limited. But no rate should be fixed
upon simply because people who travel think
that is about the price they would like to
pay. unless 1t can be shown that such rate
will yield the railroads fair remuneration.
The State has no right to undertake to COM
pei railroads to do business at loss, and if
II tries 1t will be defeated in the courts.
anere Is great danger of stopping over" in
.nis kind of legislation, because of popular
Impression that railroads are robbers and a
consequent feeling that it is right and
pioper tor the State to make reprisals
from Them. Wise and reasonable restrictions
upon railroads are not only proper Int
praiseworthy; but they are likely to he Meth.

The latest solution of the convict labor
problem is furnished by Lieut. Gov. Jones
Of New York, who suggests that the con-
victs be kept at work at some kind of produc-
tive labor, that an account be kept with ev-
cry convict in which he shall be credited
with the actual value of his labor according
to the market price and charged with the
cost OF his board, lodging, clothing, etc., and
II there is any sum remaining to his credit
after these deductions, it shall be paid to his
family or If he have no dependents, it shall
be saved and paid to him at the time of his
discharge. This would prevent injurious
competition with free labor and at the same
time keep the prisoners out of dleness. The
payment of the profits, If any, of the con-
victs labor to his family seems proper
enough, since his family ought not to be
made to suffer for his sins, mole than it is
possible to avoid. The plan is one we'll
worth considering. Critical examination
may reveal some serious defects but on its
face it looks feasible and fair.

pany has concluded to assent to all the modi-
fcations Of the bill for the extension of the
road suggested by the citizens who appeared
before the railroad committee last week,
with the exception Of the amendment which
requires two-thirds vote. The proposition
submitted to the people will therefore be the
simple proposition whether the road shall be
extended along the Park and through the
poor farm. The terms of construction and
the uses to which it shall be put and the
other details are to be determined by the
Board Of Aldermen. This is great i'm

good that the people should know just what

could had there been attached to the general
proposition long list Of details to stand
