The action Of the House railroad commit
tee in refusing to report favorably either
the Berner or the Harr substitute for ae
Olive bill, justiies the conclusion at there
will be no legislation by this legislature on
the line of the Olive bill. There is no need
for such Legislation, and the legislature sees
that there isn't
The Olive bill and the substitutes for 1t
were intended TO prevent what was thought
by some 10 be a great evil, but the more
the alleged evil was considered, the more
evident it became that it was imaginary
ratuer than real While it is not probable
that there are any members Of the legisla-
ture who desire to See the railroads of the
state crippled, there is no doubt that the
roads would have been crippled had
the Olive hill or either of the substitutes for
It become law. Indeed, the state would
have been seriously injured because railroad
building would have been glvel setback
from which it would not have recovered
soon.
The impression that there is in the legis-
latare hostile feeling to railroads IS prob
ably erroneous There is a feeling, how
ever, tlat the railros Is should be required
to deal faI.ly and justly with the people,
and that ali the power of the state should
be ed TO compel t item to d. so. 1t is not
always an easy matter to determine which
is the best way to remedy the grieva 4ces
which the people have against
the railroads, and hence, legislation is
sometimes propo ed which is neither timely
nor wise. 1t is gu te safe to say that if tue
Olive bill, or any bill like it, had become
law, 1t would not have been popular law,
and dema I'd for its repeal would soon
have been made. In the meantime, how
ever, IN immense amount of injury to great
interests woull have beel done.
Ever since the railroad commission mas
been in existe. .ce the people have been rely
ing upon it to provide remedies for their
grievances against the railroads, and they
have had no cause to complain of it. WY
not continue to rely upon it until it is
shown that it cannot do what IS req ired
of it2 Ii laws are enacted to check every
scheme which the railroads have for the
adva cement Of their interests, it will not
be long before the railroads will be so tied
up as not to be able to exercise any free
dom whatever.
When railroads adopt any policy, or take
any steps, which threaten to iniure the
people, they ought to be checked, but there
ought to be the greatest care exercised in
checking Them because the danger of max
i 6 a serious mistake is very great. They
are the chief agents in the development of
states, and therefore should be encouraged
as long as they are disposed to do what is
right. Un ess they do something which
calls for legislative action it is probable
tat there will be no more bills hostile to
them introduced during this legislature.

Sorry for Jay could.
From Teras Sffttnns.


A Saratoga correspondent of the PHILADELPHIA
Times has discovered that Jay Gould is never
alone. He never appears anywhere without
several persons with him. 1t is a relief to know
this We had supposed heretofore that mil ion
aires we're generally summed, that few were
wi ling to be seen going around with them,
owing to the opprobrium that attaches to
wealth.
We have imagined Gould a solitary man. and
that men lodged around the corner when they
saw him coming, not for any objection they
might have to him PERSONALLY, uut because
thew wished to show their disa Jproval of great
riches
we don't know by experience how person
of great riches feels but we have sympathized
with Mr.. Gould in his supposed isolation. We
have felt like writing to assure him that we
cherished no antipathy to him on account of
his money, and that we would speak to him
when we met him just as quick as though he
hadn't a cent. If he CHANGED to me lis on
Wall street he needn't hesitat- to stop and talk
with us, no matter who was staining around
We wouldn't hurry on or pretend not to know
him.
A man with millions of money is just as good
as anybody else, provided he behaves himself.
That's our doctrine.
But since we are assured that folks do go
around with Gould without appearing to be
ashamed of it we feel easier, and shall not press
our company on him. But any time tnaJ you
feel yourself Stunned, Jay, st send for us
We are even ready to go into company with
you, if you will furnish the capital.

The Opening Wedge.

The House has finally agreed to hear
what the claimants for compensation for
betterments on the state road have to say
In behalf of their d&aim. The resolution
which the House has adopted authorizes
committee to talk VITA tae Claimants, but
does not give it authority to bind the leg
stature in any respect.
1t is quite safe to say that this committee
is an opening wedge that will produce some
results for the claimants. Whether the
results will be satisfactory to them or not
is another matter Before the passage of
this r solution the attitude of the House in
dica ed that it believed that if it recognized
the existence Of a claim for compensation
for betterments by the appointment +
committee to report upon the mount f
the claim, or to IN ks any oher report
with regard to it, step would have been
taken that would lead ultimately to the
payment Of something for betterments
1t will probably turn out that
this Interpretation of the attitude of the
House is about right. The appointment of
a committee to confer with the betterment
claimants will result, most probably, in
recog lizing their clam. 1t will at least
result in long discussion. The whole bet
terment question will be gone over again.
1t begins to look as if the discussion of
the state road matter had only just fairly
begun. 1t has already occupied the eater
part of the time of tue House during the
present session, and the Senate hasn't given
it much attention yet 1t would be inter
estlng to know exactly how much it has
cost the state up to the present time.
If vote of the people of the state could
be taken on the question, whet Ter it would
not be advisable to sell the road, it is prob
able tina at least two-thirds of them Won d
vote to sell it. very prominent railroad
man, who knows all about the state road,
said day or two ago that he had no doubt
that $4,000, 900 could be obtained for it.
Would not a sale of it for that sum he
far preferable to leasing it? With SIC ,00J,O 0
the state debt could be paid off and there
would still re main a large amount, which
could be invested for the benefit of the
school fund. Those members of the legis-
lature who favor selling the road should
miss no opportunity of urging their vie - S
upon their brother members.
