A COMPLEX PROBLEM.

If the petitions presented to the legiS-
lature against the passage of the Cur
rier bill are genuine. they afford very
Interesting example of the completely
Of social problems. Among the things
which the Currier bill proposes TO do,
one is to entrust the fixing of railroad
rates for passenger and freight service
to the railroad commissioners. They
are to make a schedule of charges
which the railroads can exact, and the
railroads must observe this until it is
set aside by the courts on their motion
as being unfair. The purpose OF this
is, at least, partially to reduce the cost
of transportation for the jobber and the
farmer, and to enable them to get their
stock to market without having their
profits consumed by the railroads eXac-
tons.
This is all very good as far as it goes,
but now, if these petitions are genuine,
comes the great body of railroad en-
plOyes throughout the state, and enters
its protest against the laws enactment.
These men say that they are poor and
work hard for small compensation.
They tear that if the incomes of the
railroads are diminished by any such
measure as this, the burden of it will
have to be carried by them. Every
other operating expense of the cOrpO-
rations Will resist reduction vigorously.
The interest account will have to be
kept up, or foreclosure will follow.
The high-priced officials will not con-
sent to work for smaller salaries. The
bills for materials cannot be cut down.
If the roads earn less, they Will either
have to be content with smaller profits
or else recOup themselves by attacks on
the only outlay which has over and
over again proved itself incapable of
successfully outstanding an assault,
and that is the outlay for the humber
employees wages. Here the working
men say that they will concentrate their
efforts if they are driven to it by legiS-
latIye interference. Brakemen and fire
men want to see the farmers prosperous,
but they insist that they shall not be
made so at their expense.
1t ought to be said that these petit
tons from railroad employees are said to
be largely fictitious by friends of the
Currer bill. But whether this be so
or not, the whole controversy shows how
exceedingly difficult it is to shape legis-
lation wisely. No one short of prophet
can tell the outcome of any particular
act. In Vienna once, for sOciety's good,
houses of ilI-fame were put under the
ban of the law. WhereupOn there fol-
lowed most distressing increase i'll the
number of illegitimaue children. In
trying to remove one evil we create an
other. a capable representative is
worthy OF a large salary because he has
hard work to do.

In the soft, June like weather Of that
memorable week at Ryan the ladies
spent but little Of their waking moments
indoors, and even the broad verandas of
the coloncls quarters on the north side
we're no more popular or populous than
these of Capt. Lane at the southwest
corner. Mrs. Lane and Miss Marshall
attributed this to the fact that the sun
on its westward way passed behind their
coy home and left the front piazza cool
and shaded, whereas even the canvas
hangings in front Of the Morrises could
not quite shut out tho glare. But Mrs.
Morris laughingly declared that since
their coming into tho society Of Fort
Ryan she had become ga decided back

Whether the theory Of the colonels
wife was true or not, it must be said

own guests Lad departed, leaving her
somewhat lonely, she said; and while she
thought it by no means II proper or con-
ventional thing that sho should be so

honored her She could not but have ocular
proof ut all hours of tho day that Mrs.
Lane and her fair friend, Miss Marshall,
could not sally forth to make calls except
