A Difference of Opinion.

Chairman Midgeley and the Interstate
commerce commission are certainly not
of one mind on railroad matters and the
steps necessary to be taken to promote
their interests. The one, in a review of
the present ituation. reads the roads a
lecture on the suicidal policy which they
have been pursuing by oontesting so
keenly for traffic and cutting rates so
vigorously to get it, and tells them that
in the last five months they ought to have
charged $3.50 900 more for the freight
which they handled. The other, in its
report to the United States senate, de-
clares that those same rates are SO I'M
reasonably high for long distances az to
be grossly excessive, and for short dis
tances exorbitant. The one maintains
that the only way in which the roads can
be Kept out of bankruptcy is by return
to the condemned pooling system. The
other maintains that the best way to
regulate rates is to let the roads fight 1t
out among themselves, and the compe-
tItion among them will make reductions
expedient and profitable, and those re-
auctions will be sure to be made when
ever the roads find them necessary to se-s
cure the business.

THE UNION PACIFIC.

The Great System to be Taken in by the
YanderbiIts.
AZ special telegram to the st. Louis
Republic from Chicago says that it is
practically certain that after the next
anniP pal meeting of the Union Pacific the
Vanderbilts will be in control, and that
Presih lent Hughitt of the Northwestern
Will BID president of the entire Union Pa
Northwestern system. Little by
little f&cts have leaked out to demon
strate this. The contract between the
Union Pacific and Northwestern was
a contract by a Vanderbilt with a
Vanderbilt and has been simply test
which has proved the two systems can
be more economically operated as one.
None of the Northwestern officials will
talk for publication on the subject, but
1t is manifest they all know the change
which is coming. A remark made by
one of them to-day that competing roads
could not object to their contract with
the Union Pacific if it covered the oper-
atoms of but one line, showed that the
VauderDilts have already completed a
through transcontinental line, reaching
from New York to San Francisco, and
including the New York Central, Lake
Shore, Michigan Central, Northwestern
system, Union Pacific and leased lines of
the Southern Pacific to San francisco.
