THE presidents order releasing Pri-
vate Wild from the military prison at
Fort Smelling will create a commotion
among that class OF army officers who i'm
agine that the common soldier is a mem
ial provided for their personal comfort.
Private Wild's offense was his refusal
To perform certain manual labor. An
officer struck him down, ordered him
before IA court-martial, OF which he was
judge advocate, aud this court SEN
ueneed him to d~ishonorable discharge,
loss of pay, and allowances, and one
years Imprisonment. The president
and secretary of war unite In pronounce
ing the sentence az excessive aud the
conviction as unjust. The order is a
significant reproof to overbearing mar
tinets, and an assurance TO soldiers that
they will be protected from malicious
prosecution.

penditure at Rideau hall, as the government
house. the residence of the Canadian gov
ernor general, is called, is being overhauled

that there are accounts for l24 stoves for the
hall. Lots OF men are employed for whom

YICTORY.


The vote yesterday in the house OF
place for holding the worlds fair that
is to commemorate the discovery of
America resulted in favor Of Chicago on
the eighth ballot.
The whole country, and particularly
the great west, is TO be heartily on
graduated upon this result. 1t is a
wise and merlted recognition OF
the most liberal, public-spir-
tied, enterprlsing and progressive
city in the United States.
1t is a proper and just concession to the
superior claims OF the section OF the ma
ton which is contributing most largely
to the wealth and prosperity OF the
country. II worthlly honors the energy,
generosity and patriotism which Chi
cago has displayed in the contest for
the fair. If concurred in by the senate
it assures the completion Of every prep
aration for opening the exhibition at
the appointed time, and a dis
play, so far at least as the
products and manufactures OF this coun-
try are concerned, Of unprecedented
magniicence. 1t will assure, also, the
financial success OF the enterprise.
What r the probable chances of
Chicago in the senate? Forty-two votes
may be required in that body, though
not necessarily. Thirty-two may be
regarded as certain, from the
following states: Ohio, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Washington, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, California, Nevada
and Oregon. With such a support it is
hardly possible that Chicago can fail in
the senate, and it would seem entirely
safe to predict that the Columbus
worlds fair will be held in the western
metropolis.

Mr.. Allison is one of the ablest and worth

would be a serious loss to mis- state and his
party. We do not believe that he will be
beaten, but If defeat SHOULD come it will be
received throughout the country as a formal

OF this rock has never been known, re-

it exists in large quantities and over
wide extent of territory.

I was too much interested not to con-
tinue the conversation.
How about the future Of railroads
] asked.
II am railroad surveyo was the
reply; .and, although am not young
man, / expect to live to see a grand con-
tinental line built connecting the prin-
cipal nations Of North and South Amer
lea. Yet the question Of the power and
control of railroads is a problem Of tire
nlendous import to the people Of this
country. Look at it. In a safety vault
in New York city is deposited nearly
$500, COO, 900, mostly in railroad secur-
ties. ltrepresents the Weal,llof a single
family-the Vanderbilts. That family
absolutely controls the principal means
Of transportation from the metropolis,
and has the power, i'll u mere squabble
with its employees, to tie up the business
of half the country and infiict incalcu-
liable loss upon tile public. "A half dozen
men practically control the entire rail-
road system of the United States, and
the business Of the country IS at their
mercy on q mere questioned pnnctilioor
arbitrary nritle. Tt. is easy to see that
the situation may readily become intol-
cradle. 81
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1890-10-16

should assert their power over the rail
roads. A national commission or court
Of arbitration should have power to deal
with all questions between railroads and
their employees, OF between rival rail
roads where the interests of the people
are concerned. Our railroads hold I'M
mensely valuable franchises directly
from the people, and they should be re-
sponsible to the people for any abuse of
the power they hold
"Does not the Interstate Commerce
Commission meet the difficulty"
"Oh, no. That body is doing a good
work, and is step in the right direc-
ton; hut what is needed is something in
the nature Of a Railroad Department of
the Government. The Government
should somewhere possess the power not
only to compel obedience on the part of
railroads to the will Of Congress, but, if
necessary to take possession of the roads
and operate them in the interest Of the
people pending the adjustment Of strikes
OF other difficulties.
Your views would be considered
pretty radical, . I suggested.
Well. perhaps SO, was the reply.
Still, l believe in railroads as private
corporations, and have their interests at
heart. Their enormous growth and the
vast power they can WELD, however,
suggests and will inevitably lead to
some sort of Government supervision.
Wise railroad men will not oppose this,
for the railroads are as much damaged
by the present condition of affairs as the
people themselves.
am not at liberty to mention the gen
tleman's name whose views are here
given, but it is that of a well known
civil engineer, and they are of interest
in connection with the present railroad
difficulties. JEROME.
