Ex-GOv. FERRY'S LETTER.

The valedictorv letter of Gov. Ferry is
an excellent document. Especially timely
and wise is Gov. Ferry's view that no
armed bodies OF men can be constitu-
tionaly organized, maintained or en-
ploved in this state by individuals or
corporations, and he urges the passage of a
Law 10 enforce this constitutional pro-
vision. Gov. Ferry holds that the consti-
tuted authorities with the aid OF the
militia are ample to protect all persons
and corporations in their legal rights, and
in order that this protection may continue
TO be full and ample, he cornmends the
militia to the generous support of the
state. That is sound let Us do away with
the necessity or the pretext for Pink
ertons by pledging ample support to
the militia, whose efficiency robs the
Pinkertons Of their only excuse for exist
ence. The use OF armed bodies of Pinker-
tons Is prohibited in New York state by
law, and Gov. Pattisop. of Pennsylvania,
in hi. recen. message takes ground against
the Pinkertons and their system, and Gov.
Pattison approves of the policy of placing
the costs OF suppressIng local disturbances
by the militia upon the county calling for
the troops. In supporting this view, Gov.
Pattison says:
This may be an incentive to local authorities
TO determined action in the beginning OF dis.
tarbauce, rather than have :heit treasury
mnicted in d large sum 10 defray the expenses.
This is sound view. 1t is not desirable
that the national guard should be called
ont during every labor disturbance, and
by making counties responsible for the
costs OF the maintenance OF troops they
are more likely 10 become seif-reliant TO
choose good sheriffs, and thus avoid the
necessity OF an appeal TO the militia. If
the state pays, the county Will be care
less in the choice and support Of its local
authorities, but if the county pays the
bill it Will not by carelessness in the choice
Of its sheriff, or Dy its indifferent support
Of his authority force an appeal to the
militia.
Another excellent recommendation by
Gov. Ferry is his advice that the legisla-
ture be Just 10 both the public and the
railroad. in its regulation of freights and
fares. "Just and reasonable transporta-
ton Charges" means justice To both the
transportation companies and the public.
The new state OF Washington cannot
afford to initiate the foolish policy OF
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas and
Texas that imposed transportation rates
that the Federal courts ultimately declared
TO be neither just nor reasonable. To do
this would be to check prosperity and
injure the comfort and convenience of the
travelling public. Wisconsin, and Mime
sofa were taught wisdom by severe ex-
perience; Iowa has lost ground within the
last ten years because OF her oppressive
railroad legislation, and Kansas aud Texas
have both been turned down" by the
Federal courts because of their folly and
injustice. To correct and restrain abuse
Is one thing; To confiscate the property
and business OF trans portation companies
Is another.

Congressman Bynum thinks that there
is no prospect OF repeal Of the Sherman
silver law unless the Bland-Allison act of
1878 Is restored. In the event that the op-
ponents OF the Sherman act will offer the
latter act as 4 compromise, he feels conf
dent that it would be accepted. The rea-
son why the silver men prefer the Bland
act is that it recognizes silver as a money
metal by coming the bullion purchased by
the government into standard silver dol
lars, whereas the Sherman act treats this
bullion as pig metal, and issues treasury
notes against il redeemable IN gold.
