Amid the pressure of other matters vitaiiy
affecting all New-York people, the question OF
rand transit has dropped out of public notice
70 \ largo extent. Interest in it will be mo-
mentarily revived by the announcement OF the
Manhattan Company's unwiiinsneS> 10 hr r,
any extensions of its lines at present. Inc
Rand Transit Commissioners arc to hold
meeting 10 morrow, but in the existing circum-
stances nothing of much interest can be eN-
pected from their deliberations. Notwithstand-
ing its importance, rapid transit viii probably
continue TO occupy a back seat until the imam
cial storm passes by. Meantime the advocates
of the trolley are not likely to be idle. and the
action of the Manhattan in declining to eX-
tend its lines may give the electric motor the
opportunity to get as firm fodhod south OF
the Harlem as it now has north of that river
and in Brooklyn, where in spite of obvious
drawbacks the trolley is still an mdoubted
popular success.

stand or fall by it, lie admits however, that
his compulsory isolation on the islands became

Coudert is so enthusiastic as to declare that

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1893-11-28
A Menace to the People.

1t is with great satisfaction that we
note the Suggestion from Frankfort
that legal steps may be taken by the
State officials to prevent the absorp-
ton by the Louisville & Nashville
Company of the Chesapeake, Ohio &
Southwestern railroad. Nothing bet
ter illustrates the evils of monopoly
than the history of the great Ken
lucky Octopus. Endowed in the be-
ginning with privileges that it was
never dreamed could be made de-
structive to popular interests, it has
become, with the lapse of time, per-
haps the most baletuI influence in our
midst. Central Kentucky has, until
recently, been comparatively free from
its clutches; but for some years past it
has held in thraldom almost the en-
tire business interests of our southern
border. 1t is across the line, how
ever, that it has up to the present time
reached its climax of commercial des-
potism. The business and industrial
life of the city of Nashville may he
said to be as truly subject to its die
tatorship as if its citizens were its
bounden slaves. No other railroad
for years has been permitted to even
touch Central Tennessee and to &C
cOmplish this end no methods, how
ever dark AID dubious, have failed of
adoption. In politics, and even social
life, as we'll as in the business world,
it aspires to an autocracy; and so
well has it succeeded that even now,
"a a power for good or evil--too much
the latter--it is not eQualled in either
State.
The patriotism of its citizins has
hitherto, in measure, preserved
Louisville from the fate of her sister
city but single step after this-the
absorption of the Louisville Southern,
which was built by local capital TO
shield the people from lbs aggressions
and the axe win have been at the
same time laid at the roots of that fair
city's southern trade and prosperity.
1t is no answer TO say that the pri-
vate interests OF the corporation will
sustain the commerce OF the regions

lar cases has shown that in practice
