In THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

A committee of telegraph opera
tors appeared before the Railroad
Commission yesterday and presented
q petition asking that, if within the
Jurisdiction of the Commission, that
they appoint a competent man to
examine all telegraph operators re-
porting trains, forbidding the em-
pioyment of any one under twenty
one years, and that they shall be un-
encumbered with others duties while
performing work as train reporters;
and that if the Commissioners hold
that they have not jurisdiction that
they take such steps rs are necessary
in calling the matter to the next ses-
sion OF the General Assembly. The
operators make the request for the
reason that many are employed to
do stach duties who are said to be
incompetent. The petition also asks
that it be made nisdemeauor for
any operator to signal trains wrong,
cause accidents, DC News and OBJ
server.
This is in the right direction, but
the Commissioners should 90 furth-
er and see that every operator is
competent to serve the public. An
operator who can do the railroad
business at small stations is ofte n
totally incompetent to send and re-
ceive general messages for the PUB
lie. The railroads simply look for a
cheap man who can do their work
The public will never get any better

Hill is getting in his fine machiae
work in North Caroline. The poll
ticinas in nearly every town have
suddenly broken out for him. When
you hear them talK, you are not i'm
pressed with the fact that they are
fer him because they have deli5er-
ately come to the conclusion that he
is the best man, but they talk rather
as Interested partisaas. There are
not enough Offices for him TO give a
fat one 10 every politician in the
State who is not red hot for him.
We knew man once who, when a
candidate for sheriff, pro mised every
township politician with any infiu-
ence that he should ne his deputy
sheriff. The man was elected sheriff,
but fifty-nine men were disappointed
in not being made deputy.

W.&W. RAILROAD AND THE r. r.
COMMISSION.

The people have won a great VIC
tory. The most important dec ision
rendered by the Supreme Court in
ten years, if not since the war, was
the one last week making the branch
roads Of the Wilmington & Weldon
railroad subject to taxation like 9TH
er property. All this grew out Of
provision in the Railroad Commits
sion bill making it one of the duties
of the Commissioners to investigate
all property of railroads on which
exemption from taxation was claim
ed, and when they thought the ex-
+emptiOn was not warranted, to as
sess for taxation such property, etc.
The Commissioners, after iDvesti-
eating the charter of the w. & w.
railroad, decided that the branch
roads of said company were liable for
taxation and that the exemption in
the charter a, piled only to the main
lin the company refused to pay
the taxes. their property was seized,
they got an injunction, the case was
heard before Judge ConnOr, an ap.
peal was taken to the Supreme Court.
That body decides that the branch
roads are liable to taxation. The
main line is only 154 miles long.
The branch roads amount to POI
miles in length. This adds several
million dollars OF taxable property.
Where is the man who opposed
the Railroad Commission, said it
would do nc good and cost the State
a lot Of money? Besides this, when
the next General Assembly meets it
will pass law to collect from the
company back taxes on each branch
roads for every year since each road
was built. The w. & w. Company
has shown bad spirit about this mat
Ter. They have tried to prevent the
case from being heard before oul
own State Courts. They wanted il
heard before the Federal Judge Bopd
His decision would most probably
would have been in favor of the rail
roads. The w. d W. Company ..avt
appealed to the United States Su
preme Court. But as this case does
not conflict with the Dartmouth Col
lege case, we have some hopes tn,
United States Court will sustain oul
State Court.
