Railroad Regula tions.

The pending bill in the legisla-
ture to regulate railroad companies
in this state draws to mind that il
/ is d matter Of public history that
the people and railroads Of Wiscon-
sin have got along with each other
better Of late years than the people
and railroads Of amy other western
state, with the exception possibly Of
Illinois. I'm Iowa and Minnesota
strife between Tic people and the
corporations hae become chronic, To
the detriment Of the interests of
both parties. Since state supervision
over railroads has been in force in
Wisconsin arbitration has been
sufficient to keep peace aud good
feeling all around. A very able
argument as to the railroad bill
pending in the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture has been prepared and pub
lished by Roswell Miller, President
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul Railway Company lie objects
to TIE bill because in several Of it's
sections il merely re-enacts present
provisions Of Jaw or rules relating
to transportation companies that are
embodied in a consistent line of
judicial decisions; that it includes
the "long and short haul" provisions;
that it ucedlessIy increases the Rail
road Commission from one member
to three members, and that 1t author
izes the Commissioners TO establish
rates of traffic. Ii is understood
that President MilIer's address rep
resents the views Of other railroad
officials on the general subject to
which il relates.
The trouble with most Of the
railroad Legislation Of the country
is that it il the work of mere poll
tciaus. There is a certain feeling
among larger or smaller bodies Of
the people that lf corporation can
be made 10 give much for little, az
in their inception they received
much for a Ilttlc, it is SO much clear
gam and is justitiable method.
The political demagogue, in Guilt
waiting the support Of the class that
cberishcs this feeling, originates
stringent railroad legislation and
presses it with demagogic industry
and skill. None of these laws ever
benefited anybody except middle
men, who got freight little cheaper.
The farmer gets no more for his
products than if no such laws were
in existence, and the consumer gets
nothing cheaper on account Of these
laws. Yet such laws as the present
law in Wisconsin have been n gen
eral good, in establishing amieable
relations between the public and the

Emotional ProdiSaiity.

VIM. III. Buruhafn In SerlDncr s
Something has been wisely said of
late about the danger of overpressure
in our schools. The time spent
in study that ought to be spent IN out
door play or III exercise in gymnasla is
worse than wasted. But the overpres-
sure of intellectual work would not bc
SO bad were it not for the emotional
prodigality of many children both at
home and at school. Teachers are
spurred to strain pupils to the utmost
that they may meet the coming tests
for promotion. The healthy, sponta-
neous emotions that make IT the de-
light OF childhood to learn are crushed
and fictitious emotions of fear and
dread are substituted. At home. the
emotional excitement is often greater
than at school. Prizes, the ex-
pectations of parents, piano practice,
company, parties, dances, pettlng and
reproofs are the stimuli, eliminating
often in late hours spent IN preparing
half dozen lessons Tor the next day.
The tasks at school, hard as they are,
often are less injurious to children
than the emotional dissipation at home.

Upper city Participation Groands.
This park contains 249 acres. IL was
originally the sugar plantation of
Etlonne Bore, who introduced sugar
cane cultivation into louisiana, and
made the first crop of sugar on this
site. The land after several changes of
ownership finally belonged To the
Marquis de Gree Foncher, by whose
heirs 1t was sold 20 the city of New
Orleans for Il park.
Old city Park.
This park contains 100 acres of land 4,
and has never been improved, but has
been left IN its natural wild state.
Nevertheless this park possesses some
features very attractive To the tourist.
A grove of gigantic live oak trees, such
as are rarely seen any where IN the
country, occupy 4 portion OF the
park, andj their branches are loaded
down with the long, drsping, gray
Spanish moss, which grows so luxu-
rlantly in the South. This grove, usu-
ally called The Oaks" was for many
years the fayorte dueling ground OF
the city, and the old trees have wit
messed many desperate combats.
New Orleans has other parks and
breathing spots too numerous to men
ton. They help beautify the city.
When Will Grand Rapids make a
move in this important direction?
Would it not be n stroke of policy to
drcdge the shores of Reeds Lake,
throw up the earth and make a circle
boulevard This would be one of the
best Improvements the citizens OF
Grand Rapids have ever made or posi-
bly, can make. 1t would bring thou
sands of people to this city which
means thousands of additional cap
tal for our city. 1t is well
enough to think it over;
thought always precedes action.
